【318】The 12 signs of the zodiac...

"No kidding, Ted. It's more likely that Washington will send a heavyweight ambassador after discovering the importance of China. I'm just a layman."

"Robert, you are a little too pessimistic. Based on your understanding of Chinese behavior and your ability to communicate with local people in Chinese, you are definitely the best candidate for ambassador to China."

"Ted, I am very happy that you said this. The reason why Washington appointed me as the consul general in China this time is probably because I value my old acquaintance with many people in the Kuomintang. With me, these lines are possible. It will not be completely cut off, and maybe some useful information can be obtained. Secondly, because the telegrams I sent back several times before are probably very valuable, and Washington is now very eager to understand the current details of the Chinese, so in their eyes Here, the best candidate is of course me who sent back the information before."

"That's why I said Robert, you have a great future." Major General Ted said with a smile.

"Ted, you know, in fact, I just wrote down what we saw and sent it back. In fact, we have all been cut off from those officials in the Kuomintang. They were sent back to the mainland. It was like a game. Chang Kaishen tried his best to transport these people, and the Chinese priest was responsible for sending them back intact. God opened a relationship with us on Formosa Island. A little joke."

Major General Ted also chuckled when he heard this, and said: "Anyway, we have seen some new things this time. Personally, I am very much looking forward to going to the northern capital. You know, I have only been to the southern capital before. I heard that Only in northern China can we truly see the strength of the Zhonggong, where their roots are very deep, and there are still Russians there."

"New thing? You mean those rifles from the People's Liberation Army. Alas, it's a pity we didn't get any of them. Those peasant soldiers don't understand the concept of two thousand dollars. Damn it, we don't have gold in our hands, otherwise we can Use gold bars to try to lure these PLA guards around the consulate." When Robert said this, he regretted not being able to get the new rifles of the PLA.

"Yeah, damn it, Chang Kaishen wanted to give us gold bars back then, but of course we all chose bank checks, who would want to bring those heavy gold bars, now it seems that this is the most stupid thing I have ever done one."

"Ted, you don't have to complain, because even if you are willing to give gold bars, the People's Liberation Army may not be willing to sell it to you. Think about it, the People's Liberation Army guarding the consulate must be elite troops, otherwise it would be impossible to use such advanced weapons and equipment , This is the Chinese taking the opportunity to show us their muscles. What would happen if such an elite garrison loses a state-of-the-art assault rifle? I dare say, they will hang at least a dozen related personnel. Fortunately, we have already shot Take enough photos and the Pentagon will understand."

"Robert, of course you don't have to worry. You still have the trump card in your hand. But I came to Formosa as Chang Kaishen's military adviser. Although Chang Kaishen didn't really listen to my advice, he still Those who respect my existence, at least, the oil and water here are really rich... I am afraid that I will really have nothing to do when I go to Beijing in the future. I think Washington may soon replace the military attache in China with a purely intelligence military attache .”

"Ted, what trump card are you talking about?" Robert cautiously lowered his voice.

Major General Ted slanted his lips, smiled slyly, showed his white teeth, and said, "Don't think I don't know, but the intelligence chief who committed suicide entrusted his two sons to you, and asked you to take them to him." Studying in the United States. The whole consulate knows about it, do you think I don’t know about it?”

Robert lowered his voice and said nervously, "Damn it! Ted, what else do you know?"

Major General Ted lazily leaned on the sofa and spread his hands: "The exchange terms for these two children must be very generous? Robert, you shouldn't be eating alone."

Robert Strong became irritable and growled, "F**k, Ted, I didn't take Mao Renfeng's penny, this guy gave me one..."

When Ted heard the words, he immediately cheered up, and asked, "What is a share?"

Robert said discouragedly: "I can't say, this is a secret. Anyway, it's not money...Damn it, you son of a bitch doesn't trust me!"

Ted suddenly realized: "It's intelligence? It's the intelligence of Mao Renfeng's lurking agents in the mainland! I should have guessed it a long time ago! The core agent in this guy's hands will never have multiple records, at most two! He One of them must have been given to you and the other was destroyed! Good luck you son of a bitch, Robert! This list is so important, you only need to give it to cia, and you will be in the inner circle from now on No one! The next ambassador to China must be you!"

"Ted, you know, sometimes you are too smart a son of a bitch. You must also know that smart people should learn to talk less. This list is currently only known to Washington, you better forget it .”

Ted looked at Robert Strong with a smile.

Seeing this, Robert said helplessly: "I will tell Washington that you are a participant in this operation. Ted, you know, this is worth the Distinguished Intelligence Service Cross."

Ted finally grinned and said excitedly: "I thank you, Robert! I have a bunch of fucking Army Service Medals, but I know, it's useless! With my current status, it's tantamount to national defense. As a civilian officer of the Ministry, if I want to be promoted to another rank, this intelligence medal is all I need! This is too important to me! This is worth a toast, for our friendship!"

Robert smiled wryly and shook his head, "Your next stop may be cia."

Ted's white teeth were shining brightly reflecting the sunlight that came into the small living room of the consulate outside the window: "What the hell! As long as I can be promoted to another level, I don't care. I have been a major general since Operation Garden Market in 1944. Wearing it until now, if there is no accident, I will continue to wear it until the day before I retire, and then the honorary promotion will retire. Robert, you saved me, I owe you a big debt. Now, you should talk about that list, Now that I'm part of this 'operation,' I figured I'd need to know something about it...the Washington folks, you know..."

Robert lowered his voice resignedly to his fate and said: "Director Mao gave me a list of twelve high-level spies code-named zodiac signs, each of which represents a person. These twelve people are the most secret existence , even Chang Kaishen himself did not know the identities of these people, and Director Mao was their only superior.

Unlike ordinary spies, these twelve people do not have superiors for single-line communication on the mainland, nor do they have transmitters and receivers. As the most secret lurkers, their purpose is to work hard and try to climb to a higher level. Post up.And their identities will remain in hibernation until awakened one day by a contact.Therefore, in theory, they are absolutely safe.

In exchange, Director Mao's two sons will return to the United States with my wife in this evacuation operation as Chinese orphans adopted by my wife. "

Ted rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "May I know who are there?"

Robert shook his head violently and said, "No! You don't need to know! I'm doing it for your own good! Otherwise, you will enter the secret period, and the time for declassification is far away. Your emails and phone calls with your family members will be monitored. In fact, I have already started to have a headache about this matter, I don't want those people in cia to hear what my wife and I are talking on the long distance phone, but what can I do? Protest?"

Ted came to his senses and quickly waved his hands and said, "God, please don't tell me who they are. I think I already know enough."

Robert jokingly said: "Ted, you are such a frank bastard."

Ted laughed: "The only thing I'm curious about now is how do you wake up these people? And once you activate them, how do you keep in touch with them? It's too difficult, especially for us white-skinned foreigners You know, once we go to the northern capital, we will be watched every step of the way. Our ambassador to the Soviet Union, Andro, once complained to reporters that that kind of life is like walking around the prison walls all the time. .”

Robert lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up again: "Trade, my friend, trade. China has now returned to the free trade circle of Gatt. I don't think I will have the opportunity to personally activate these people in my life. The cia will find a suitable candidate from the trade relationship. Maybe, find a Chinese businessman first? Anyway, who knows? That is not our concern."

Xiaoqiang walked out of the single-family building on Xiangyang Road in the former French Concession arranged for him by the Puhai Municipal Government, stretched his waist, and looked around the courtyard of this three-story French-style villa.In the yard, the sycamores planted in the four corners grow toweringly tall, and they are densely connected with the trees of the same species planted along the entire road, forming a green canopy that sifts the morning sun into mottled beams of light, elegantly Sprinkle on buildings and ground.

This secluded villa area is currently a high-end guest house of the Puhai Municipal Government. Xiaoqiang leisurely did a set of radio gymnastics in the yard.After breakfast, they sat down to read the newspaper, waited for Boss Chen's car to arrive, and then went to the airport together.

The central government sent Xiaoqiang and several comrades to Puhai this time. The task was to see the project construction in Puhai, an important industrial town in East China.In the past three days, Xiaoqiang followed Boss Chen almost all over the ports and important factories in Puhai. He did first-hand research and recorded a lot of practical difficulties in the current construction. A place to improve production efficiency through simple purchases, and today, Xiaoqiang can finally return to the northern capital.

Boss Chen also returned to Beijing with Xiaoqiang this time to attend the central government's work plan meeting for the second half of the year.

Xiaoqiang stood blankly in the yard, looking at the mottled bark on the sycamore tree, but thinking about the promise he made to Meng Sisi in his heart.

"Should I go to report and get the certificate?"
