My girlfriend is from 1949

After Director Zheng's words, the atmosphere relaxed.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked out of the storage room hidden in the basement.

However, as the space expanded, the warehouse could no longer hold everything.

Moreover, it is dangerous for large quantities of supplies to move in and out of the city.

However, if placed in the suburbs, spies would have no way to hide and carry out sabotage.

If another regiment were stationed here, even if the spies knew this place was important, they would have no choice but to take a detour.

Attacking a regiment's garrison is not sabotage; it's giving the soldiers military merit!

Moreover, since this place was behind enemy lines at the time, there were limited options, so they had to make do with what they had temporarily.

Now that the area has been liberated, a vacant lot has been cleared out in the suburbs, where an even larger warehouse is being built.

Chen Huai'an looked around with a good gaze, filled with goodwill towards everything.

Especially from the second-floor corridor, you can see the environment and houses of the triangular area, giving you a feeling of being in another world.

The scene before us has undergone earth-shattering changes compared to the skyscrapers 76 years later.

Except for a very few signs of special significance that have been preserved, the houses and streets are completely different from what I remembered.

It's not just like a different world; it's a real journey across 76 years of time and space, arriving in the world of the past!

The group arrived at the gate and got into a black Buick sedan.

This car was originally used by Du Hengtai to pretend to be a big boss from the south, in order to show off his status.

Now that they are liberated, they and their cars have been returned to the Ministry of Social Affairs.

It can be parked in the warehouse and used when carrying out counter-espionage and surveillance missions.

Moreover, there were not just one, but as many as three parked there.

Chen Huai'an, Lin Wan, and Director Zheng rode in one car, with Lao Zhang driving.

Du Hengtai led the elite of the Social Affairs Department, following behind in two other cars to provide protection.

In addition to each person being equipped with a pistol, there were also several submachine guns.

Now that Shanghai has been liberated and the army has entered the city, there's no need to keep a low profile like before.

Chen Huai'an sat in the car, turning his head to take a good look at this largest metropolis in the Far East.

Although there are no skyscrapers or dazzling lights like in later generations.

Even though it was already night, only the dim yellow streetlights brought light to the city.

This presents a stark contrast to the world in 2025.

Chen Huai'an took out a video camera from his bag and rolled down the car window to film.

Every now and then, you can see groups of People's Liberation Army soldiers patrolling the streets with rifles on their backs.

Being able to capture these scenes makes this trip to the Republic of China era truly worthwhile.

Director Zheng looked at the peaceful street, but a worried expression appeared on his face.

"Although Shanghai has been liberated, it is the same as the information you brought."

The Kuomintang reactionaries left behind many spies who are causing sabotage everywhere.

It also released a large number of prisoners, resulting in a very poor security situation.

It was a bit better on the main streets, but at night, robberies frequently occurred in the alleyways.

Despite the deployment of numerous patrols, crimes continue to occur.

Moreover, these people ran away as soon as they saw the patrolling soldiers.

Once you're inside the alley, it'll be hard to find them!

My head hurts!

The sudden shift from a passive to an active role left these veteran underground party members somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Moreover, the winding alleyways provide excellent cover.

From the rooftop, one can have a commanding view of the surrounding area.

If there's any disturbance, it's easy to escape by taking advantage of the complex environment.

In the end, they escaped to some unknown place!

This is also why underground party members often prefer to rent small rooms in attics.

But now the roles of offense and defense have been reversed, which has become an advantage for the spies to hide and protect themselves.

For inexperienced underground party members, making arrests was even more difficult!

Director Zheng was in charge of the Social Affairs Department, one aspect of which was counter-espionage.

No wonder I had a headache.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the drone squadron, they patrol the skies continuously every day.

If anything unusual is detected, the patrol team will be notified to go there.

This method is much more efficient and has resulted in the arrest of many people.

However, most of them were members of low-level gangs, and a few were peripheral members of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

The real spies, having sensed something was wrong, had already slipped away.

Upon hearing the story, Chen Huai'an couldn't help but smile.

"This... shouldn't be too difficult."

This problem would definitely have been difficult to solve before liberation.

But now that the army has entered the city, many technologies that were previously unusable can now be used.

As long as they don't interfere in governance, there are no other restrictions.

Upon hearing this, Director Zheng's face lit up with joy.

I only wanted to give it a try, which is why I brought up the current security situation.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually had a solution.

He hurriedly asked, "Comrade Huai'an, do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Huai'an said with a smile, "Install surveillance cameras!"

"Surveillance?" Director Zheng squinted, a look of confusion on his face.

He could understand the literal meaning of surveillance.

But specifically, how should we monitor it?

Even if someone is assigned to monitor every intersection, there will always be times when things go wrong.

Moreover, spies are trained and highly vigilant; if they discover that someone has been placed to monitor them on the street, they will naturally not show their faces again.

As long as you don't break the law, and you dress like an ordinary citizen, you won't be noticed even if you walk right past the security personnel.

Moreover, if a spy sneaks into an alley and escapes, it's useless to send people to monitor them, right?

Lin Wan's big eyes lit up, and she immediately realized what was going on.

He excitedly explained, "Director, the surveillance camera is the one I told you about before."

In the world of 2025, cameras will be everywhere.

Some officers were catching vehicles violating traffic rules, while others were monitoring road conditions.

Anything that has happened cannot escape the capture of surveillance cameras.

It also records and saves the video for easy viewing at any time.

Once the criminals are captured on camera, their escape route can be pinpointed using surveillance footage along the way.

In this way, the area where the hiding place is reduced.

They can even directly capture which house the target enters.

Moreover, the target was completely unaware of the entire process!

Many cases are now solved through surveillance screening!

Director Zheng's narrowed eyes gradually brightened.

Just from the explanation, I could already tell the advantages of this surveillance system.

If surveillance cameras could be installed all over the streets, it would be equivalent to weaving a huge surveillance network.

No matter how well the spies hid, they could not perfectly evade the surveillance cameras!

Moreover, the spies were completely unaware of the surveillance and continued to act according to their usual mindset.

The result is that every move is under surveillance, yet no one knows it!

It's practically a counter-espionage weapon!

Chen Huai'an spoke confidently: "I've also built up some connections during this time, and I'll arrange surveillance, facial recognition systems, and motion recognition systems accordingly!"

This whole process is like a devastating blow, leaving no way out for the spies.

Just as the discussion was taking place, the car arrived at the foot of Tianma Mountain.

Looking around, one sees a military camp.

Strict guard posts were set up at the entrance, and two submachine guns were also deployed.

Everywhere you look, you see soldiers wearing yellow-green military uniforms.

Director Zheng introduced with a smile: "I was appointed by higher authorities to establish Bureau 306 here, which is directly under the central government, and I will serve as its director!"
