She Song

Chapter 100 Black snake plays with white cat

After the summary meeting, Han Xiaoyao awarded Jiang Queer, Dong Xiaoyi and Yuan Erlang regular positions in the Guards respectively, and ordered the three of them to take turns to select fifty team members to form a Guards battalion.

A two-month in-depth training was carried out. In addition to regular training, it also included simplified special training subjects focusing on reconnaissance and sabotage, swimming and climbing, equestrian equipment and wilderness survival.

In response to the shortcomings exposed in the exercise, Emperor Yuan [-] improved the depth and breadth of training, emphasized the mixed and coordinated operations of various arms, and added offensive and defensive tactics to deal with cavalry raids.

When Han Xiaoyao listened to the report from the Ministry of Heavy Industry, he found that a month had passed, but coke and refractory materials were still in an embarrassing situation that was difficult to break through.

Li Daoyi was almost speechless.

"President, I'm just a blacksmith. My abilities are really limited. I've spent so much manpower and financial resources and made no progress at all. You'd better hire someone else!"

Looking at Li Daoyi's bloodshot eyes, his body was smoky and his hair and beard were messy.

Han Xiaoyao couldn't bear to blame him. The steel industry relies on the accumulation of science and technology and the support of strong national power. There are more than a hundred people in the Han Ji Heavy Industry Department who are farmers. If steel can be made in a month or two, it is almost like a myth. .

"Thousands of tall buildings are rising from the ground. Who said that the Ministry of Heavy Industry has not made any progress? Minister Li and his colleagues worked hard day and night and accumulated valuable experience. Han Ji witnessed it from top to bottom.

We don’t have any foundation. Failure is normal. If we persevere, maybe we can succeed if we try again.As a leader, you must not give up easily at this critical moment! "

Regarding the problem of coking, Han Xiaoyao suggested that you can try to choose anthracite coal or send people to the carbon plant to inquire, even if you spend money to buy technology.

Regarding refractory materials for steelmaking, Han Xiaoyao seemed to remember that natural graphite was also a high-temperature resistant material, so he asked the caravan to purchase them and hand them over to the Ministry of Heavy Industry for testing.

With new ideas and encouragement from Han Xiaoyao, Li Daoyi ran back to Beiying to continue tinkering with the coking experiment.

But Xiao Fugui brought good news: three of the first batch of spies for assault training had initially qualified and requested specific arrangements.

"I'll talk to them personally..." Han Xiaoyao said after thinking for a long time.

……

In the darkness, the door opened silently, but the black snake woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes alertly.

Someone came into the house!

He still kept his unhurried breathing rhythm, and he quickly calculated the position of the infiltrator and his next move.

Although he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, nor did he know the other party's specific intentions, Black Snake chose to wait and see what happened and would never act rashly until the last moment.

Although a month of physical training has been fruitful, fighting is really not his strong point. However, Black Snake has made arrangements for such situations in advance and believes that it will give the opponent an unexpected "surprise"!
After all, normal people would not sneak into their rooms late at night for no reason, and it is reasonable to fight back legitimately.

After the infiltrator roughly determined the location of the bed, he suddenly pounced on it.

Black Snake's hearing is particularly good. Just when the infiltrator started, he had already jumped behind the bed faster, fell to the ground, and then suddenly pulled the rope...

In the darkness, the infiltrator who failed to throw himself on the bed couldn't help but wonder. He heard breathing just now, but why didn't he see anyone?

Suddenly, an object fell from the sky with a sound of wind and hit his back. The unsuspecting intruder immediately fell and slipped under the bed.

When he was about to stand up with support, he heard a bigger noise.

"Hoo~bang!"

The wide bed board actually flew up and hit his head headlessly. Under the severe pain, the black shadow finally couldn't help but scream in pain.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a voice from outside the house ordered: "Everyone stop, the white cat goes back and is on standby."

The instructor's voice!
The infiltrator, the white cat, stopped immediately, rubbed his head silently, and went out in the dark.

After the white cat left for a while, the instructor said again: "Black Snake, someone is coming in now. You must answer the questions truthfully and abide by his instructions and arrangements unconditionally. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Black Snake answered without hesitation.

It seemed that he was going to delegate the task to himself. Thinking of this, Black Snake suddenly became a little excited.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone walked into the house with steady steps. No candles were lit, and it was still dark.

"Please introduce yourself first."

"Code name 'Black Snake', 20 years old, native of Hejian Prefecture, scholar. All his family members died at the hands of the Khitans, so he lived in the wilderness. He was recruited into the Hanji Internal Guard a month ago to train and evaluate A." "Why join? Internal guard?"

"I want to avenge my family."

"The Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, how do you plan to take revenge?"

"This...should be hunting down the murderer of my family."

"I see...are you willing to work for me as a spy? In return, we will try to find your enemies, as long as they are alive."

spy?Revenge yourself!

Black Snake thought about it for a while and finally decided to try this task.

"Although I don't know if I can be a good spy, I can try."

"Okay, let's talk about specific matters next."

After half an hour, the conversation ended.

The man turned around and went out, and suddenly said: "From now on, your code name will be changed to: Black Mamba. You will only be responsible for me. If there is an emergency, send the secret message to Hanji Department Store and the bank."

Black...Mamba, what does it mean?
It doesn’t matter, Black Mamba is just Black Mamba.

……

The white cat was very frustrated. He didn't expect that he had sneaked into the house as carefully as possible, but was still detected or even ambushed by the other party.

He kept thinking about where the flaw had just been in the room, over and over again, and suddenly he found the answer from the memory fragments.

When I pushed the door and entered, I felt like I touched a thread... Damn it, the guys in the room are so cautious!
Hey, it’s not unfair to lose!

The instructor said that in a fight between spies, the slightest negligence can be fatal.

No matter whether he hits him with a machine or hits him with a bed board, the other party has shown mercy. Otherwise, if he hits him with a poisonous hand crossbow, how can he still survive?
Suddenly someone outside the house ordered: "White Cat, report to the interrogation room!"

It's over~ Interrogation room, I must be punished for screwing up my errand...

Although he was thinking something bad, he stood up reflexively and replied: "Yes!"

After saying that, he opened the door and trotted to the interrogation room.

Following the command of the man in the shadow, the white cat sat down.

Someone asked in the darkness: "Why did you miss just now?"

Sure enough, this is it!
The white cat didn't dare to hide it and repeated his guess.

"The other party will tie the silk thread in his hand to the door, and he will notice it as long as he opens the door."

After a pause, he continued to ask in the darkness: "Then how do you solve this problem?"

"Try it over with Myanma before entering."

In the shadows, Han Xiaoyao nodded.

Although White Cat failed to defeat Black Mamba, its advantages are also obvious. It can draw inferences from one instance and is good at summarizing, which makes it a good candidate for counter-espionage.

There is no doubt that although he certainly seems immature and even makes mistakes in many areas, everything must have a beginning.

When the white cat saw that it was Han Xiaoyao walking out of the shadows, he was almost stunned, but fortunately he reacted quickly.

"Snapped!"

Stand at attention, raise your hands in salute, and shout a greeting.

"Greetings!"

Han Xiaoyao returned the favor, and then asked with interest: "Are you, a cat, interested in catching mice?"
