Shadow Spy

Chapter 348 Forced to stay in Washington

After the inauguration ceremony, the president's new staff held a formal meeting with the leaders of the government and congressional committees.

This is the first gathering with the largest number of people, but it is also the last. For security reasons, it is impossible for the president, vice president, and speaker of the House of Representatives to appear in the same place at the same time in the future!
Ministers in the government team can no longer appear at the same time. Even in every formal meeting in the future, a minister will be secretly protected in a hidden location to prevent the U.S. leadership from being blamed.

However, the White House staff is basically on duty 24 hours a day. They are the president's daily work team, serving as the president's think tank, assistants on administrative matters, the link to control various government departments, the mouthpiece for external voices, and the direct force of the president. Commander and other roles.

At the party, Li Junhao met the key members of each team and got to know them all. Not surprisingly, except for Ailes, who was already a blue dot, an elder and friend, there were only a few members of the White House staff who were already familiar with him. It was a green light spot, and most of the other people were gray light spots representing ordinary relationships. There were seven or eight yellow light spots that were hostile to him.

Of course, he clearly remembered these hostile personnel one by one. Among them, Secretary of War Stimson was the most obvious one. He even skipped the politeness during this meeting and ignored him with a cold face. It was obvious that he was still because of MacArthur. Angry about something.

Li Junhao didn't bother to pay attention to him. He was really not too worried about this Republican who was mixed up in the Democratic Party government. If he couldn't turn enemies into friends in the future, he would just have a head-on confrontation. Anyway, he didn't expect his care to survive in the government. , and it is extremely difficult for the other party to defeat him - the same is true for him.

The meeting did not last long, basically just a normal lunch time, and then everyone left separately under the escort of security personnel from each unit.

After returning to the White House, Li Junhao's two personal guards, Nick and Avni, also received new IDs and were assigned to the field establishment of the Secret Service, so that they could follow him into most areas of the White House.

In addition, he also got a small office of more than ten square meters not far from Ayers' large suite, with the name "NSA-Chief Assistant" hanging on it, and even his work ID and new business card were printed. , placed on the desk. (NSA-National Security Advisor, National Security Advisor.)
Because he still has his own important job in the Far East, he has not been assigned a full-time secretary for the time being. Instead, the Ayers secretarial team led by Mrs. Brown will take care of his work; however, Mrs. Brown has told him that he has been We have specially selected secretaries and assistants. After being trained on their work ability and confidentiality, they will be arranged soon.

Li Junhao had a bad feeling. Why did it seem that he was going to stay in Washington and not allow him to return to Shanghai?He really wanted to ask Ayers for his opinion, but the old man was very busy now and had no time to listen to his questions, so he had to stay silent for now.

Mrs. Brown sent a large amount of archives and asked him to become familiar with them as soon as possible.He first looked at the directory and found that these documents mainly introduced the operating rules of the White House and various government departments. They were basically classified as first- and second-level secrets (a total of five levels upward). Of course, this was nothing to his identity. .

After being genetically enhanced, he could read and understand documents very quickly. It only took him half a day to understand and memorize all the information that would take ordinary people two or three days to understand.

That night, after having a delicious dinner in the White House staff dining room, he did not go to Ayers' house to stay, but stayed in a villa not far from the Admiralty.

This is the residential area for senior officers of the Navy. Ayers came forward to buy him a house. The area is not large. The two-story villa named No. 47 is only more than 230 square meters, but it is enough for him and two guards. .The security here is equally tight, and is directly responsible for the Internal Security Bureau of the Department of the Navy. The security factor is extremely high, no less than Ayers' official residence. This will be his permanent residence in Washington from now on.

Previously, Li Junhao rejected Riester's request to arrange a place for him. He now has enough ability to ensure his own safety and has enough money. There is no need for others to spend money, and he does not want to owe too many favors.

On Wednesday, March 3, Li Junhao drove to the White House with Nick and Avni after eating a Chinese breakfast taken out of his portable space.

His current car is still a 1938 Chevrolet luxury master sedan, a new car that he specially entrusted Mrs. Brown to purchase before he came. Of course, it is now a modified bulletproof version.

The biggest advantage of this choice is that Nick and Avni can master the performance of this car skillfully without any new adaptation process, and he will also feel familiar and comfortable when sitting.

When he came to the White House this time, because the vehicles and personnel had all been registered, it was very fast to enter. When he arrived at the office area, there were many people greeting him, which made him feel like he was here to work.

After arriving at the office, he sent Nick and Avni out to buy some daily necessities needed for the office and home. Although there was plenty of space, it couldn't be too conspicuous!
Finally finding an opportunity, he asked Ayers a question: When can he return to Shanghai?

The answer he got was that he would have to wait a few days, during which he would need to attend several meetings. The theme was to analyze and judge the world situation this year. One of the key items was the German invasion of the Soviet Union that he had raised in a previous report. Possibilities and timelines.

This result is not good at all. Li Junhao feels that it is a waste of time. His views have already been written in the report. It is really meaningless to have to say those words again when attending the meeting.

Fortunately, he now has special permission to set up a radio station in his office and keep in touch with Shanghai and Shanghai through the naval radio relay. Although there is a delay of nearly an hour when receiving telegrams, it is still within a tolerable range. .

The situation in Shanghai has not changed much. Everything is on the right track. As long as there are no major changes in the outside world, there will be no problem with the stability within the concession.After all aspects of intelligence analysis, the Japanese army has no plans to attack the concession in advance, and the situation will develop according to the original process.

Although this is the case, Li Junhao still feels that living here in Washington is not as comfortable as in Shanghai. This should be because he wants to see many Chinese faces more!For this reason, he was going to find Chinatown...
