Chapter 906 Lurking
Dabao changed into a military uniform and came out of the soft sleeper car. Four soldiers jumped out of the jeep. They had serious expressions and were fully armed. When they saw Dabao, they immediately saluted.
"Is that Chief Qin?"
Dabao nodded and took out his work ID from the General Staff and handed it to the highest-ranking soldier, a major. He took the ID respectfully, looked through it carefully, and looked at Dabao against the photo on the ID. After confirming that it was correct, he stood at attention and saluted, then handed the ID back with both hands.
Dabao waved his hand and said seriously,
"Leave quickly."
Several people got on the jeep and it drove out of the platform.
Ten minutes later, the train started to let passengers get on and off, but the passengers who got off were all talking about it. They saw through the windows that two jeeps picked up people and drove away.
The passengers all knew that there must be an important person on this train.
Half an hour later, the jeep drove into the garrison area and stopped at the garrison headquarters. The commander and political commissar of the Shijiazhuang garrison were waiting anxiously at the door.
When they saw the jeep stopped, they hurried over.
Dabao jumped out of the jeep and saw the two of them coming over to salute and shake hands. He waved his hands and said seriously.
"Everything must be kept confidential. Where is the confidential phone number?"
The commander knew that this matter must be very serious. He received a telegram from the General Staff in the middle of the night last night. Early in the morning, he sent the battalion commander of the guard battalion to the train station to pick up the person in accordance with the content of the telegram.
Although he was surprised when he saw Dabao, he was clearly still a teenager, how could he be the head of the General Staff? He didn't have time to think about it anymore and hurriedly led the way to his office.
His office is very large, with two telephones, one black and one red, on his desk.
Dabao waved his hand, and the commander and the political commissar, knowing the confidentiality system, hurriedly retreated and closed the office door tightly. The two replaced the guards and stood guard at the door.
Dabao picked up the red phone and heard the voice of the switchboard.
"Hello, Chief, please tell me your number."
This number is Dabao's identity, and not everyone can call this confidential phone number.
Dabao said his number fluently, and the switchboard immediately checked it and spoke.
"Hello, Commander Qin! I'll connect you to Commander Xie right away."
The phone rang only twice before it was picked up, which meant that Minister Xie had been waiting by the phone.
Dabao and Minister Xie talked on the phone for a full fifteen minutes before he hung up and came out of the office. He looked serious, with a hint of shock in his eyes, and he hadn't completely recovered from the content of the call.
He exchanged a few polite words with the commander and political commissar guarding the door, then got on the jeep and returned to the train station platform. It took him an hour and a half to go back and forth.
The train was still stopped at the platform. The passengers on the train didn't know what had happened and were discussing it. However, it was normal for the train to stop and be late.
No one thought much about it, and no one knew that the entire train waited for an hour and a half just for Dabao.
Dabao got off the jeep, and the commander of the guard battalion took a piece of pork weighing more than ten pounds, as well as two bags of flour, which were prepared by the Shijiazhuang garrison.
The meat and flour were sent to the train dining car for Dabao and others to eat. The train conductor personally stood by. The commander of the guard battalion handed the meat and flour to the attendant and whispered,
"The leader must be well fed and well-drinked on the train. If he needs anything, he can send a telegram to the next station and someone will bring it to the train immediately."
The train conductor had experienced such a thing before, so he was not panicked and nodded in agreement. Several soldiers saluted Dabao, turned around and got on the jeep and left. After all, they were soldiers and did not hesitate at all.
After the train conductor invited Dabao on board, he went to the dining car and instructed the chef to make dumplings for the leader since there were noodles and meat.
The chef quickly agreed and got to work.
When Dabao returned to the soft sleeper compartment, Xiaoerduo was already awake and telling stories to the Phoenix sisters. He had never seen Dabao in a military uniform before, and he was surprised to see Dabao in a military uniform with a rank of colonel.
This refreshed his view of Dabao. Dabao took off his hat and shirt and said to Xiao Erduo with a smile.
"You feel uncomfortable after drinking too much, right? Have you had breakfast?"
Little Ear laughed and nodded. He said that he had indeed drunk as much as he wanted yesterday. He was so happy that he didn't pay attention and drank too much.
He patted the Phoenix sisters,
"Call me Third Uncle."
The two children grinned and called out "Third Uncle" in a clear voice.
Dabao smiled and took out two mutton-fat jade pendants from his pocket and handed one to each of the sisters.
This pair of jade pendants is also a treasure of the imperial palace. The jade pendants are half-moon shaped, and when put together they form a full moon. There is a dragon and a phoenix engraved on them.
This was worn by ancient emperors and empresses, and is called the Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Pendant. With these two jade pendants, in another thirty years, no one can't take them away.
Xiao Erduo was even happier, because he knew that this was Dabao's recognition of his two daughters.
He patted his two daughters' heads.
“Why don’t you thank Uncle San?
The two little girls said sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle San."
There was a knock on the door. Dabao opened the door and saw that it was Xiao Zhang, the waiter from the dining car. Xiao Zhang bowed respectfully to Dabao with a smile on her face.
"Commander, can I make cabbage and meat dumplings for you and your companions for lunch today? Are there any dietary restrictions?"
Dabao smiled and shook his head.
"Nothing to avoid, thank you."
Xiao Erduo was stunned. Yesterday, he saw the attitude of the conductor and others towards Dabao, and they were not so respectful. How come everyone on the train became so enthusiastic towards his brother just this morning?
He scratched his head, puzzled.
The train started slowly. Dabao took out a cigarette and gestured to Xiaoerduo, meaning that he was going out to smoke and not to smoke the child.
Standing in the corridor of the soft sleeper car, Dabao lit a cigarette and looked out the window quietly. Although he seemed to be admiring the scenery, his thoughts had actually already flown to his conversation with Minister Xie today.
It turned out that something big had happened. Our comrades had been lurking in Taiwan. There was a fake couple. The man was called Yu Zecheng, who was once the deputy station chief of the Military Control Commission's Beiping Station. His wife, Mu Wanqiu, was also our comrade. In order to cover him, the two of them accepted the organization's order and lurked in Taiwan when the enemy retreated to Taiwan.
Yu Zecheng was promoted to the director of the Military Control Commission Office, and he stayed undercover for ten years. Before Director Mao of the Communist Party of China evacuated from the mainland, he arranged for more than 10,000 spies to lurk in the mainland.
One day, while cleaning the director's office, Yu Zecheng discovered the marks of names written on a notebook on the desk. He carefully tore off two pieces of paper and used a pencil to completely erase them, only to discover that it was a list of undercover agents...
