Cao Ruian continued: "We need to investigate clearly. Did anything go wrong with these intelligence agents? Which person did something go wrong? This is very important for our next work."

Although these lurking personnel are all contacted and directly commanded by Ji Xinghuai, the identities of intelligence agents of this level are recorded in the secret files office of the bureau headquarters, so Chu Guangji has this list in his hand, so there is no need to worry.

Lost contact.

Ji Xinghuai's unexpected death made all potential intelligence agents who might have come into contact with him become suspects. You must know that these intelligence agents are all valuable in intelligence. If the new intelligence station wants to open up the situation smoothly and carry out its work, these people will

will play a very important role.

However, if you cannot find the person with the real problem and ensure that their identity is safe, then they cannot be activated, and these intelligence agents will have no choice but to fall into a long dormant period, and may even be disconnected in the end. You must know these

The value of intelligence agents is huge. Once this happens, the loss will be huge for the intelligence station.

Cao Ruian continued: "These latent intelligence agents are the most valuable resources left by Taiyuan Station. We are new here and everything has to start from scratch. It is very difficult! At this time, the cooperation of these intelligence agents is urgently needed.

, so you must hurry up with your investigation work, and we will activate these people as soon as possible after we have a conclusion."

"Okay, I will complete the investigation as soon as possible." Xu Chengyan nodded. Although Cao Ruian did not mention other potential agents, he knew that Cao Ruian must have arranged other agents to perform the same task, and his goal was

Han Zhirong.

"Also, Han Zhirong's confidentiality level is very high. According to the rules, he can only be directly commanded by the station manager. Unless there are special circumstances this time, we cannot tell you anything about him. Therefore, you must be strict in this investigation.

Keep it secret, issue a gag order, and don’t let his identity be in danger of being exposed!”

Of course, Cao Ruian's concerns are not unreasonable. These latent intelligence agents at Taiyuan Station are important pawns placed in the Japanese and puppet government at a huge cost by the military commander. It can even be said that they are the most valuable force of the intelligence station. The entire intelligence

The intelligence station's work of obtaining intelligence almost always revolves around these people. If it were not for the current difficult situation, the intelligence station would have to screen them, otherwise it would never leak any information about these people.

Of course Xu Chengyan knew the relationship, and immediately nodded and agreed: "I understand, I will also make it clear to Ji Yun, and the information will never be leaked."

At this time, Chu Guangji said slowly: "We all know your abilities, that's why we entrust you with such an important task.

Is Han Zhirong an enemy or a friend? Does it have anything to do with the death of the webmaster? We don’t know. It all depends on your final conclusion based on your investigation. You are an old special agent, so you must be cautious and have a good sense of scale.

I will monitor the progress at any time."

"Yes, I will find out his true identity as soon as possible." Xu Chengyan nodded and accepted the order.

After the task was clearly explained and they talked for a while, Chu Guangji winked at Cao Ruian. Cao Ruian understood, casually found an excuse, got up and left, leaving only Chu Guangji and Cao Ruian in the room.

Xu Chengyan and two others.

Seeing Cao Ruian leave, the expression on Chu Guangji's face became amiable, and Xu Chengyan also visibly relaxed.

"Were you complaining that I didn't support you just now?" Chu Guangji asked harmoniously.

"Of course not," Xu Chengyan immediately shook his head and said, "I know that Director Cao is here, so you have to give him some face."

Chu Guangji laughed and was very satisfied with Xu Chengyan's answer.

The Taiyuan Intelligence Station is currently under construction, and all personnel were specially recruited by Chu Guangji. Whether they are his old subordinates or his students, they are all direct descendants of Chu Guangji.

These old troops were headed by Cao Ruian. This time Ding Mingrui came to tell Xu Chengyan that they were rebellious and disobedient to the leadership. The conflict between the two made Chu Guangji very embarrassed, so he had to pretend to be in front of Cao Ruian.

Then make it clear to Xu Chengyan in private.

"To be honest, the teacher-student relationship between you and me has lasted for many years and is no better than others. If you hadn't risked your life to save me, I would have been buried in the dust. So don't worry, I will definitely support you. However, you can't do things too obviously.

I have to give Ruian and the others some face."

It turns out that the relationship between Xu Chengyan and Chu Guangji is indeed no better than an ordinary teacher-student relationship. When they lost the Battle of Songhu, they were pursued by the Japanese all the way when they retreated. Hundreds of thousands of troops died on the way back, as many as ten

Tens of thousands, it can be said that the army suffered heavy casualties and was completely defeated.

As the instructor leading the team, Chu Guangji led the student soldiers to retreat. However, the team was bombed by Japanese planes on the way. Xu Chengyan risked his life and knocked him down and rolled him into a ditch. Only then did he survive.

Later, Xu Chengyan, Ji Yun and others took turns carrying Chu Guangji, who was seriously injured, and fled all the way, passing through Suzhou, crossing Lishui, Jiujiang, and finally moved to Anhui, where they finally settled down.

During this period, thanks to the careful care of Xu Chengyan and others, Chu Guangji finally saved his life, so Chu Guangji naturally treated Xu Chengyan differently from other students.

Later, Chu Guangji was transferred back to the headquarters, Xu Chengyan went to southern Jiangsu to join the National Salvation Army, and the teachers and students parted in tears.

This time when Chu Guangji took over as the chief of Taiyuan Station, the first thing he thought of was to transfer Xu Chengyan back to his side, which fully demonstrated how much he valued Xu Chengyan.

"Teacher, you are serious. Of course I understand your painstaking efforts. It's just that Ding Mingrui is timid and irresponsible. He doesn't contribute his own efforts and suppresses me. He doesn't let me take action. It's really..."

Speaking of this, Xu Chengyan looked helpless and his grievances were palpable.

Chu Guangji knew what Xu Chengyan meant and said softly: "I have wronged you. I also severely reprimanded Ding Mingrui before. I thought he had experience and could share my worries, but his behavior during this period..."

Having said this, Chu Guangji shook his head helplessly. In fact, his mood at this time was quite similar to Xu Chengyan's.

Chu Guangji is an old man who joined the company when he was still in the industry. His qualifications and abilities are not bad, but he is not appreciated by his superiors. He has been relegated to the middle level and has not been reused.

It has been like this for many years, until this time the two major intelligence stations in Suiyuan and Taiyuan suffered heavy losses, and at a time when the situation on the Shanxi front line was critical, the top brass of the Military Command Bureau urgently needed to restore Shanxi's intelligence organization in the shortest possible time.

Thinking of Chu Guangji, this old subordinate who has been sitting on the bench for many years.

Chu Guangji, who had been working hard for many years, was finally able to serve as the chief military officer and take charge of the work of one side. Naturally, he felt very satisfied and determined to make a breakthrough in Shanxi, so he was no less eager than Xu Chengyan.

The reason why he launched a purge and retaliation operation as soon as he took office was not only an order from the top, but also because he was eager to show off.

However, this first task made him greatly disappointed with his old troops. After the operation began, these old troops were too cautious and insufficient in action.

The four targets that have been eliminated were all done by his students, especially Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun. These two people alone assassinated three targets in succession in one month, especially important figures like Harada Kazuya.

Reporting this result will definitely satisfy the senior management.

Thinking of this, he said harmoniously again: "However, after all, these people have been with me for many years, and I always have to save some face for them, so you still have to keep a low profile. The most important thing now is to finish Han Zhirong's matter first.

Don't underestimate this matter. It is no less important than the cleaning task, and it is also a task specially assigned by the top management.

Today we are in a very difficult situation in Shanxi. Most of the intelligence agents who have been hiding for a long time have been arrested. The intelligence system that has been operating for many years has suffered an unprecedented blow. As a result, our ability to obtain intelligence is now almost zero. The little information obtained during this period,

I transferred him through Beiping District based on my old connections, but this is not a long-term solution. What we need most now is intelligence agents who can play a role. Now, these are the only ones available in Taiyuan City.

Each of these secrets is a treasure, so you still have to pay attention. As for the future, I will take care of it!"

"I understand, everything must be obeyed by the teacher!"

Chu Guangji smiled slightly and said with approval: "I am very satisfied with your performance during this period. You have done clean and beautiful things in several times. Especially this time, the assassination of Harada Kazuya had a great impact. I will focus on your merits."

, accumulate meritorious deeds, and try to raise you to a military rank in a short period of time, which will never delay your future."

"Thank you, teacher, for your care. The students will remember it in their hearts!" Xu Chengyan said gratefully.

At this time, Chu Guangji suddenly remembered something and continued to ask: "I know that when you were in Sunan, you were also doing intelligence work?"

"Yes, but it's just general investigation work, with very little contact with specific intelligence." Xu Chengyan nodded and said.

When he and Ji Yun were in the National Salvation Army in Southern Jiangsu, because of their good skills and the training they received as agents, they were both transferred to the investigation team shortly after joining.

It's just that the nature of their work is more military-oriented, and they are mainly responsible for disguised reconnaissance, armed raids, assassination of targets, and tongue arrests. They are very different from general spy intelligence work.

The main reason is that the National Salvation Army was suppressed by the Japanese in southern Jiangsu. They fought guerrillas everywhere, and even the base areas changed frequently. Therefore, they were very weak in the field of espionage and intelligence. Xu Chengyan did not have the opportunity to be exposed to these jobs. He was better at military affairs.

.

"Do you have your own code name?"

"Code name?" Xu Chengyan immediately understood what Chu Guangji meant, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

This is when Chu Guangji will officially assign code names to Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun. You must know that in an intelligence organization, not every intelligence officer will have a code name.

Only an intelligence officer with a considerable status in the organization and a certain intelligence value can get a code name specifically for himself, because his name needs to appear in the transmitted messages and intelligence handover documents.

In order to prevent the true identity of the intelligence agent from being discovered in the message and the intelligence being intercepted, such accidents should occur and only in accordance with the needs of confidentiality work, such intelligence agents can be named with code names.

Therefore, in the organization, the status of intelligence agents with code names is much more important than those without code names.

For example, the codename of Chu Guangji, the head of the intelligence station, is Spider, the codename of Cao Ruian, the head of the intelligence department, is Hound, and even Ding Mingrui's codename is Dandelion.

However, Zhang Zhiyuan and Shi Yushan in the intelligence team do not have code names. Only in the future as their intelligence value increases, the organization will consider assigning code names to them.

Now that Chu Guangji asked this question, Xu Chengyan immediately understood what he meant. This also marked the improvement of his status. It seemed that his previous actions had indeed benefited him a lot.

He quickly replied: "My code name is Viper, and Ji Yun's code name is Viper!"

Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun had such code names because they specialized in carrying out assassination missions when they were in Sunan. In particular, both of them were good at disguise and using poison, and assassinated important enemy targets many times.

Vipers and vipers!

Chu Guangji nodded. The codenames of latent agents of the military command were not particular about good-sounding names. Instead, they were proud of being cunning and fierce. Most of them were in this category. For example, his own codename, Spider, was not very good-sounding. Anyway, as long as it was practical, it would be fine.
Chapter completed!
