Chapter 209 It's nice to be your friend
Lin Wenhan didn't say much, mainly because Huang Peishan kept asking Gao Jiu some questions.
Huang Peishan is a lady from a family. She has been influenced by her since childhood and is good at interpersonal communication. Her conversation seems casual, but she is just chatting about family matters, but the questions she raised are examining Gao Jiu's origin.
When Huang Peishan asked, Lin Wenhan was also listening carefully to analyze and judge Gao Jiu.
Gao Jiu had already prepared a set of rhetorics, saying that he was an orphan and was adopted by a kind-hearted Chinese-American couple. Later, he grew up in the United States and went to college in the United States. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he returned to China to participate in the war.
Gao Jiu was very vague. For example, he did not specify any specific city in the United States and what university he attended. Huang Peishan was a little confused and doubted the authenticity of what he said.
The reason why Gao Jiu said that he was an overseas Chinese was not to raise his identity, but to not want people to guess his origins and worry about bringing disaster to Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yatong.
Lin Wenhan can understand Gao Jiu, because Gao Jiu is a mysterious figure himself. He is in the enemy-occupied area and keeps three points in his speech. He does not want to reveal more of his identity information and is beyond reproach.
Next, everyone continued to chat.
Huang Peishan originally thought that Gao Jiu was just a vulgar countryman, but she didn't expect that Gao Jiu was a returning overseas Chinese and had attended college in the United States. Gao Jiu was neither humble nor arrogant, generous, knowledgeable, and his words and demeanor showed his high level of cultivation, which made Huang Peishan secretly amazed.
Lin Yanni was very enthusiastic about Gao Jiu. She helped pour wine and pick up food for him, which made Gao Jiu a little busy.
When Huang Peishan saw her daughter's intimate appearance with Gao Jiu, she felt a little worried.
After the banquet, it was already late, so Gao Jiu and others went to rest.
After Gao Jiu left, Lin Wenhan asked kindly: "Yanni, are you tired? If you are really tired, go and rest. If you feel that you are in good spirits, Dad has a few words to ask you."
To be honest, Lin Yanni was a little tired at this moment, but she felt excited again and couldn't sleep and wanted to talk to someone. Seeing her father asking her, she said, "It's okay."
Lin Wenhan said: "Okay, come with me."
The two of them came to the study, and Lin Wenhan asked, "Yan Ni, why did Gao Jiu come to Wuhan? Why did you bring him home again?"
Lin Yanni knew what her father was worried about. On the one hand, he did not want him to get too close to Gao Jiu, a person of unknown origin. Even if he saved Lin Yanni, he could repay him in other ways, and there was no need to take him home to stay. On the other hand, he found that Gao Jiu came to Wuhan, and the Military Intelligence Department of the Fifth War Zone all went to greet Gao Jiu, and specially picked him up with a plane. He wanted to figure out what was going on in the middle. He did not want his daughter to be involved in danger.
Lin Wenhan is the deputy minister of the Military Order Department in charge of managing equipment and military production, and he does not participate in any intelligence matters. Although Lin Yanni is a father-daughter relationship, as a member of the intelligence department, she cannot explain some things to her father too clearly.
She said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. My daughter took him home to stay and was also a work arrangement, which was agreed by our Director Feng. In addition, when he came to our house, he came to ask for help if he had something to do."
Lin Yanni told her father about the incident and Gao Jiu's request. She said, "This matter is not our personal behavior. I just hope that my father will mention it in the military command and then arrange the specific arrangements for how to hand over this batch of military equipment to Gao Jiu. The above will definitely agree on this matter." Lin Wenhan said, "If this is the case, I won't ask more. However, I will see the written order of the Military Commission. As long as this order is given, I don't have to worry about other matters. I will send someone to the designated location of Gao Jiu."
Lin Yanni said happily: "Thank you dad."
Seeing that his daughter cared about Gao Jiu so much, it seemed that it was not entirely due to work, but was sincerely trying to help Gao Jiu. He said, "Yanni, you are an adult now, so I will not say much. When it comes to getting along with Gao Jiu, you must grasp the right measure."
Lin Yanni said affectionately: "Don't worry, dad. Then my daughter is going to rest, you can rest early."
As the saying goes, it is better to manage the current official than to manage it. There are many things. It is not that if the superior agrees, you can do it smoothly. Even if you get the order from the above, if the relationship below is not cleared well, someone will definitely make things difficult for you, and in the end it is very likely that it will not be possible.
Lin Yanni really wanted to help Gao Jiu get this set of weapons equipment. After getting his father's approval, it became much easier.
The next morning, Lin Yanni told Gao Jiu the news. Gao Jiu was very happy and expressed his gratitude to Lin Yanni.
After breakfast, Gao Jiu called Zhou Mingshan and asked him to notify Director Li of the Military Control Commission. Lin Yanni also called Director Feng and asked them to meet at the guesthouse in the dormitory compound in the Military Order.
In order to maintain close contact with Gao Jiu, Zhou Mingshan did not live in the Military Command headquarters, but in the Military Command Guesthouse.
Gao Jiu first came to Zhou Mingshan's room.
Zhou Mingshan was wearing a shirt and was reading a book. When he saw Gao Jiu, he said excitedly: "Master Jiu, you are really a god, you are indeed stable."
As he said that, he walked to the hanger and put on his brand new colonel uniform. He said, "What do you think?"
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "It's very energetic. The colonel's uniform looks more pleasing than the lieutenant colonel's uniform."
In fact, the military uniforms are the same, but the number of stars on the epaulettes is different.
Zhou Mingshan smiled proudly and said, "That's right, this is a big difference. The lieutenant colonel is an intermediate officer, and the colonel is a senior officer. The treatment is very different."
The two chatted and laughed.
The Military Control Commission and the Fifth War Zone were very anxious to get information. Gao Jiu did not wait long, and Director Feng and Director Li rushed over.
After they entered the house, Director Li first asked Zhou Mingshan and said, "Have you checked?" Zhou Mingshan said, "Don't worry, the surrounding rooms have been checked, and no one will eavesdrop. The house next to it also lives with its own people, and it is safe to speak here."
Director Feng and Director Li both took out two thousand ocean bills at the same time. It seems that the two have already discussed it outside. They said that the money was for Gao Jiu's expenses during his stay in Wuhan. If it was not enough, they could make it. They would try to meet Gao Jiu's requirements, and Gao Jiu accepted it with a smile.
Director Li said: "Mr. Xiao, our Military Control Commission has verified the information you provided last time. The information is very accurate. Our boss asked me to express my gratitude to you on his behalf. The Military Control Commission has agreed to all the conditions you put forward."
Director Feng also said: "The same is true for the Fifth War Zone. The Chief of Staff personally agreed to meet all the conditions you put forward."
Gao Jiu said: "That's good, now I will provide you with another important piece of information."
As he said that, he took out two pieces of paper and handed them over to Director Feng and Director Li.
Director Feng opened the paper and saw that it was intelligence from the 11th Army of the Japanese army, including information related to the various divisions and independent mixed brigades, but only half of it was said.
Director Li's information was related to the Japanese Second Army, and the situation of the troops belonging to him was only half said.
During the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese Army mainly dispatched about 210,000 140 brigades of these two armies. After obtaining such information, we basically have a general understanding of the entire deployment of the Japanese army.
There is also some information about the Japanese Air Force and logistics supply, which Gao Jiu has not provided for the time being.
Director Feng and Director Li are both smart people. They believe that since Gao Jiu can provide information to this level, he should be able to provide the information of combat units above the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade and above. They understand that Gao Jiu must have to put forward conditions when doing this.
Director Li said: "Mr. Xiao, the information you provide is really important. What else do you have? Please mention it."
Director Feng also expressed the same attitude.
Gao Jiu said: "I do have a small request, and I need the Military Command to help solve it. Just tell Shangfeng that I still have a condition. For the specific situation, just ask the Military Command to send someone to ask Miss Lin Yanni."
In the previous stage, Gao Jiu's conditions were very low. Director Feng and Director Li knew that Gao Jiu was not a greedy person, and the request he made this time should not be excessive. They both said that after returning, they immediately reflected Gao Jiu's request to Shangfeng.
Then, Director Feng instructed Lin Yanni to accompany Gao Jiu to take good care of Gao Jiu. Director Li also ordered Zhou Mingshan to accompany Gao Jiu to have fun.
Neither of them mentioned one thing, that is, to protect Gao Jiu's safety. Because they knew that they didn't have to worry about this matter at all. With Gao Jiu's skills, some people wanted to plot against him, which was just seeking death.
Then the two of them were about to report to the higher authorities, and they stood up and said goodbye, and were about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Gao Jiu stopped them.
"What else does Mr. Xiao have to do?" Director Feng asked.
Gao Jiu said to Lin Yanni: "Miss Lin, you go to the room next to you first."
Lin Yanni walked out without saying much.
Gao Jiu said to Director Feng: "In the process of obtaining Japanese and puppet intelligence, Deputy Stationmaster Zhou Mingshan of the Military Control Commission and Qin Feng, Zhao Guosheng and Lin Yanni of your Military Intelligence Department risked their lives and made great efforts. I suggest commend and commend them.
The Military Control Commission has been promoted to the rank of Deputy Stationmaster of Zhou Mingshan. Do you also want to promote the rank of Qin Feng, Zhao Guosheng and Lin Yanni in the fifth war zone?"
Speaking of this, Director Li felt that the Military Control Commission was generous and very proud, so he smiled proudly at Director Feng.
In fact, Director Feng also had the idea of seeking credit for his brothers, but he has been busy obtaining Gao Jiu's information these days, and he has not been concerned about it for the time being.
Seeing Director Li's proud look, Director Feng didn't want to be looked down upon by the Military Control Commission, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, my fifth war zone will never bury the soldiers' contributions. When I go back, I immediately report to the Fifth War Zone Command and apply for a commendation to Qin Feng and the three others."
Director Feng originally wanted to apply for the first-level military rank for Qin Feng and three others, but now Director Feng was stimulated and decided to report to each of them to two-level military ranks and promote their positions accordingly. This time, the Military Intelligence Department made great contributions, and it was not an exaggeration to make these requests. He believed that the theater command would agree. His subordinates were commended, and he, as the director, also had a gloomy face.
Afterwards, Director Feng and Director Li said goodbye again and left.
Zhou Mingshan felt that Gao Jiu was really friends, and was good at seizing the opportunity to seek credit for Qin Feng and others. He sighed and said, "Master Jiu, it's great to be your friend!"
Gao Jiu knew that he had given information to Director Feng and Director Li, the Fifth War Zone and the Military Control Commission, would immediately verify it. This process would take a long time to do it. Next, he had nothing to do, and he planned to have a good time in Wuhan City.
He asked Lin Yanni to return to this room and said to Zhou Mingshan and Lin Yanni: "You have also heard the instructions of your superiors. If you have any delicious and fun projects, you will arrange them."
Zhou Mingshan was very smart. He felt that Gao Jiu seemed to want Lin Yanni to accompany him more, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I want to arrange it for you, but I am like you, and I am also an outsider. If you want to be familiar with Wuhan City, you have to say Miss Lin. Why not do this? Please ask Miss Lin to arrange it. If there is any project you can participate in, I hope I can bring my brothers and I will be happy. Haha."
