Chapter 3869 Chief of Staff

Fan Keqin continued, "I can sell it to you at a low price, and I will also provide you with the corresponding parts and so on. Don't worry, it will definitely not be expensive. In addition, I allow you to buy on credit. This part of the money can be paid in batches. As for how the equipment works, it will be accompanied by an instruction manual. You will figure it out slowly and you will eventually understand it."

Hua Zhang nodded, of course, and said, "Okay, I think this is a good idea. The organization will definitely need it. But I still need to report the situation first."

"Yes." Fan Keqin said: "This is as it should be. Let's eat first. After we finish eating, you report the situation. As usual, I will keep watch for you."

The two of them immediately began to concentrate on eating, without having to wait until dark. After eating, the two of them went out directly. Then they went to the safe house No. 3 and started sending. Fan Keqin was indeed there to keep watch for Hua Zhang according to the old rules. And with a "clairvoyant and sharp-eared" person like Fan Keqin to help Hua Zhang keep watch, the risk itself would be quite low. This time was no exception, and the telegram was sent very smoothly. Then the two of them hid the radio and started to turn back. But on the way back, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang also watched a movie.

After all, if you want to confuse people, you need to be well prepared and put on a full show. Now that Fan Keqin's wife Lu Xiaoya is gone, it will be normal for Chang to date Hua Zhang. After that, everything was fine. The two of them returned home and rested for a night. The next day, after washing up and having breakfast, they started to go to the Security Bureau.

Not long after Fan Keqin returned to the office, Zhuang Xiaoman walked in and said, "Director, the director wants you to come upstairs."

"Okay." Fan Keqin agreed, went upstairs, and came to Sun Guoxin's office. As soon as he came in, he saw two unfamiliar people in the room. One was in casual clothes, a man in his thirties. He was not tall, wearing a pair of glasses, and looked a bit gentle, but he was very well dressed, really a bit elite. Just like the business elites of later generations!

The other person seemed to be in a bad condition, with obvious dark circles under his eyes. He was older, about the same age as Sun Guoxin, probably in his fifties. He was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, without a hat, revealing his short gray hair. In front of the sofa where he sat, there was a military cap on the coffee table. Apart from these two people, there was Sun Guoxin.

As soon as Fan Keqin came in, several people looked over at the same time. Sun Guoxin immediately smiled and said, "Come here, Chief of Staff Zhen, this is Director Fan you want to see. Keqin, this is the Chief of Staff Zhen Zhimin of the Guard Division. This is Chief of Staff Zhen's son, also a staff officer of the Guard Division Staff Office, Zhen Bao."

Fan Keqin walked over and shook hands with the two men. Zhen Zhimin said, "Director Fan, this time our security division came to ask your director for help. Oh, I think Director Fan should have heard that the gold ship we were responsible for escorting has disappeared. We know that Director Fan is just ahead of us and is also escorting a batch of gold. In addition, Director Fan is the best expert, so I came here to ask Director Fan for help." "Oh, I know. Didn't the Ministry of Finance inform all government agencies in the evening three days ago?" Fan Keqin said, "What advice does Chief of Staff Zhen have for me?"

"Hey, I'm not giving you advice." Zhen Zhimin took a breath, then sighed and said, "The gold is lost, which is a serious matter. But no matter what, it is the responsibility of my security division. What's hateful is that before the escort, Guangdamin promised solemnly that there would be no problems. But now? Not to mention the gold ship, there is no news from him."

At this point, Zhen Zhimin looked at Fan Keqin and said, "After we knew that the golden ship was missing, we immediately sent out a reconnaissance team, and six waves of reconnaissance teams, and found places that were highly suspected of enemy ambushes. They were in the area of ​​Leigongzui in the Yangtze River, and three places on the south bank. In the middle of the river, there are two small islands. We also found one on the smaller one, which is the island closest to the turn at Leigongzui. In total, these four places can be seen from the shell casings that the enemy used at least six to eight guns and heavy machine guns. Such firepower can be said to be surrounded on all sides."

Zhen Zhimin paused and said, "But after discovering this, we have been investigating until now, but still can't get any results. So we want to ask our Security Bureau to take action. After all, you are professionals, much better than us soldiers. What do you think? Director Fan? Can you do me a favor?"

Fan Keqin glanced at Sun Guoxin, who also understood what Fan Keqin meant, so he said, "Chief of Staff Zhen, that's my old friend. We used to cooperate very happily with the Security Division. So I'll help if I can. Keqin, what do you think about this matter?"

Fan Keqin said, "The Director is right. The Guard Division is an old friend of ours. We will definitely help. But... it's a little too late. First of all, in this case, we can basically conclude that the other party is after the gold. And gold is so precious, the other party will definitely not let up. After getting it, they will flee immediately. So... I think, just based on the time, it is really slim to really get it back."

After hearing what Fan Keqin said, Zhen Zhimin felt that it made sense. Just like intelligence, there is often a time limit. The longer the time, the more likely the intelligence is no longer accurate. Besides, even if it were me, I would run away after getting the gold. I would run as far as I can. How could I wait for you?

So Zhen Zhimin sighed again and said, "Hey, Director Fan is right. If it were me, I would have run away long ago. But at the beginning, the Ministry of Finance contacted the Golden Ship and informed us that it had lost contact. You know, losing contact and disappearing are two different things. It may be caused by active silence, or lack of radio signal, radio failure, terrain reasons, etc. Therefore, this delayed some time. Then we sent out a reconnaissance team, but it was impossible to see any traces on the water. Fortunately, we also sent out a ground reconnaissance team, and found the shell along the coast.

But now it's all over. I know what Director Fan said makes sense, but we still want to try. Don't worry, even if we don't find the gold in the end, we will never put the blame on the Security Bureau. After all, you are helping me now, and I took the initiative to ask for your help. It's a favor to help me, and it's also my duty not to help. I can tell the difference between brothers. "
