Spy Family

At the end of the report, Lu Linbei made suggestions to collect information on the independence movement in more cities.

It was already late at night after writing the report. Lu Linbei took the time to sleep for three hours. He returned to the mine base early the next morning. He was "lucky" to be called to take another plane and did not have to witness Mei Wangzhen's improvement in driving. technical process.

Huang Pingchu was in a good mood and invited Lu Linbei to have breakfast in the cabin.

"Finally we saw a glimmer of light." Huang Pingchu said with emotion, looking at the white clouds outside the window. "This is a good start. We can end the war quickly, repair the space station, and get everything back to normal."

Lu Linbei nodded and concentrated on eating the plate of fried eggs in front of him.

After the meal, Huang Pingchu dictated a guideline on intelligence work, "At present and in the future, the core task of our army is to preserve our strength, win more concessions from King Zhai, and prepare for the arrival of King Zhai's fleet. Be fully prepared. I have made the following three requests to the Military Intelligence Office: First, always pay attention to the movements of the Utopus military and First Light Industry. Although the armistice agreement has been reached, we must not take it lightly. We must especially beware of Utopus using the name of attacking the independent army of Paradise City. , mobilize troops near our stronghold; second, the Mingwang Star side hopes to deepen cooperation, and asks the Military Intelligence Department to send people to contact them to find out the bottom line of the other party's negotiations; third, the positions of the various forces in Zhao Wangxing are wavering, and asks the Military Intelligence Department The office will draw up a list of candidates as soon as possible, no more than thirty, inquire about their needs, and arrange a meeting.”

Huang Pingchu said something more, and Lu Linbei recorded it in detail on a microcomputer. Based on the information already obtained by the Military Intelligence Office, he added some notes to explain the progress of the relevant investigation.

Huang Pingchu looked over it and was very satisfied. He signed for confirmation and returned the microcomputer to the original owner. "Very good. The Military Intelligence Department has been a great help."

"This is our duty."

Huang Pingchu smiled and said: "After going full circle, Major Lu returned to the Military Intelligence Office."

"Circumstances dictate."

"Yes, we are all the same. Due to the situation, I never thought about being a commander. Staff is my specialty. But now that the matter has come to this, I have to shoulder the full burden."

"We are all very happy that Colonel Huang can be the commander." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

"Our cooperation has always been a pleasure."

"Pleasant." Lu Linbei couldn't remember a time when the cooperation between the two reached the final stage.

"It must be interesting to grow up on a farm, right?" Huang Pingchu suddenly asked in a casual tone.

"Well, the farm scenery is beautiful, the population is relatively small, and everyone knows each other."

"You and Team Leader Zhen have known each other since childhood?"

"Yes, the real team leader is one year older than me, and we have been playing together since we were little."

"There is another thousand weight."

"Colonel Huang recognizes the crook?"

"More than just knowing each other, we used to be very good friends. We often drank and had fun together. Later, I joined the army and he became busy with work, so we met less often. Alas, it's a pity for the con man. If he is still here, he has a bright future. After Director Li Tao, he should take over."

"The old man's departure is a major loss to Zhai Wangxing's intelligence agency."

"But his death also brought the remaining people closer together."

"Um?"

"Major Lu, don't think too much. What I mean is... Mei Wang is a very emotional person. In her eyes, farm people and non-farm people are like two different species."

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "We may all have this problem."

"This is the success of farm education. I admire it very much. I just hope..." Huang Pingchu smiled meaningfully, "Don't let this affect your judgment."

"We don't bring the identity of the farm to work, which is one of the basic requirements of intelligence training."

"Very good. From the Emergency Department to the Military Intelligence Department, the Mei family has indeed proven their professionalism." Huang Pingchu put away his smile, "I saw the report you wrote."

Lu Linbei nodded and did not respond.

Huang Pingchu was silent for a while and then said: "Major Lu put forward... a very interesting point of view in this report."

"I just make my own judgment based on the information I have."

"I don't know what unique information Major Lu has, but the possibility of the rebels' success is zero and it's not worth taking seriously."

"That is just a private report and will not have any impact on Colonel Huang's command work."

Huang Pingchu's face darkened, "You are an investigator of the Military Intelligence Department, the assistant designated by the real team leader. In this position, there is no so-called private report. Once the report is leaked, it will make King Xing doubt our sincerity. This is my The last thing we want to see is the result.”

Lu Linbei finally understood Huang Pingchu's intention, but found it incredible, "No matter what, Dawang will remain skeptical of us, just like we can't completely believe them."

"General suspicion and well-founded suspicion are two different things. Your report will become a kind of 'basis'."

Lu Linbei was silent for a while, "I'm sorry, as an investigator, I must express my judgment. This is part of my job."

"Then I am also sorry, but the suggestions you made in the report must be rejected. I cannot allow anyone from King Zhai to have private contact with the rebels."

"I regret it, but I will comply with the order."

Huang Pingchu smiled again, but his tone did not relax, "Really follow the order?"

"Colonel Huang is the commander, and I will carry out your direct orders without compromise."

"You won't do little things behind my back?"

"No, and I don't have the ability. To investigate the major cities in Zhaowangxing requires a lot of manpower. Without Colonel Huang's permission, I can't do anything by myself."

"Don't think of me as a rigid person. Privately speaking, I admit that the Zhaowang people have the right to propose independence, but the method is wrong."

"Well, Colonel Huang once said that Jiazixing's way is the right way."

"Yes, contact and negotiation, balancing the interests of all parties while striving for one's own interests, are the formal methods. The Independent Army? A group of rabble-rousers who won a temporary victory by chance and will soon disappear. Believe me, this is the rule. Rather than judging.”

Lu Linbei nodded, not wanting to have any argument with this person.

"You let Dong Tianchai go because you sympathized with the Independence Army, right?" Huang Pingchu suddenly said.

Lu Linbei had been on guard for a long time and immediately understood that this seemingly random sentence was Huang Pingchu's true purpose, so he replied: "My development of Dong Tianchai into an intelligence agent has nothing to do with sympathy."

"He can be an intelligence agent?"

"Intelligence officers are different from investigators. There are no certain standards or hard requirements. As long as they can provide information, Dong Tianchai will definitely be reused by the independent army and have access to confidential information."

"Didn't I make it clear? The Independence Army will be wiped out soon. The so-called confidential information is meaningless."

"When I developed Dong Tianchai as an intelligence agent, I had not yet spoken to Colonel Huang."

"I have to point out that your error in judgment was very serious."

"Well, I'll take responsibility."

"Did you ask your superiors for permission when you released Dong Tianchai?"

"I asked for permission, and there is a record in the system." Lu Linbei actually requested it himself, but in the record, the person who approved it was someone who forgot his truth.

"Then Mei Wangzhen must also be responsible for this mistake."

"Well, we each have our own responsibilities."

Huang Pingchu stared at Lu Linbei, as if waiting for him to change his mind. After a while, he said, "I also have to take the responsibility of leadership."

The conversation ended here, and Lu Linbei sat in another seat. He had no chance to talk to the commander until he landed.

The plane piloted by Mei Wangzhen arrived an hour late. Lu Yezhou and others looked relatively calm. It seemed that Mei Wangzhen's technology had indeed made progress.

Mei Wangzhen summoned all the investigators and assigned tasks to everyone. Now that the situation has improved, the investigators can no longer stay in the stronghold, but go to major cities to prepare to restore the intelligence network. Only Mei Wangzhen, Lu Linbei and others are left at home. A handful of investigators.

Lu Yezhou was allowed to go to Paradise City. The mission was the most dangerous, but he was very happy, "It's like going home!"

The investigators left one after another, and when only two of them were left, Mei Wangzhen took a deep breath and stretched, "We may be busy for a few days."

"Well, there's a lot to do."

"Colonel Huang just came to you to convey orders?"

"He wanted to know if I made the decision privately to let Dong Tianchai go."

"What did you say?"

"I said I asked for permission and there is a record in the system."

"Well, that's what I said. Fortunately, you reacted quickly. Colonel Huang is really cunning. He wants to put all the blame on you alone."

"How come he suddenly cares about Dong Tianchai?"

"Because Uranus has expressed interest in Dong Tianchai, I guess they have long known that Dong Tianchai returned to Paradise City and deliberately attracted Colonel Huang's attention."

"Why does Colonel Huang care about this?"

"Do you think he is trying to let me off the hook? Of course not, he is doing it for himself. If you do something without permission, you will bear all the responsibilities, and I will take the leadership responsibility. But I allowed it, and that means the two of us will take full responsibility, and he Take leadership. Got it?”

Lu Linbei shook his head helplessly, "But I did not ask you for instructions in person."

"When I asked you to be my assistant and handed over all my authority to you, I already agreed to all your 'requests', so don't worry about the words."

"yes."

"That report of yours pissed off Colonel Huang."

"Well, he fully expressed it."

"What are you going to do?"

"Colonel Huang does not allow me to investigate the independence movement. I will comply with the order, but this does not prevent me from analyzing the available information."

"Well, Lao Bei is still Lao Bei. Don't worry, I will let you get enough information and analyze it to your heart's content. But I want to ask you face to face: Do you really think the Independence Army has a chance to win?"

"It may not be an independent army, but Zhao Wangxing's independence movement may be unstoppable. The Peace Front believes that it is sure of victory and even starts to compete for benefits in advance. This will be the biggest hidden danger. Wangxing thinks it has many allies, but in fact they may be a burden."

Mei Wangzhen was silent for a long time, "The situation of the Independent Army may not be better. This will be a more chaotic war than anyone else. Let's wait for the news from Ye Zi, he will pay attention to the situation of the top leaders of the Independent Army."
