January [-].

For most people in the country, the real spring is coming soon, but for some people, their lives are still stuck in the cruel winter.Perhaps, there will never be another spring in their later lives.

Since last spring, the tide of national liberation has gushed out from the north, gradually sweeping across the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, stirring up waves of joy one after another.Shenyang, Baoding, Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan, Tangshan... This turbulent giant wave is rapidly approaching Tianjin in an unstoppable manner. Although the people in the city who heard the news dared not celebrate openly, there was a surge of excitement secretly. Happy.However, in Li Tianyao's eyes, there was no joy at all. From his standpoint, this was a disaster that would destroy the world.

As the stationmaster of the military-controlled Tianjin Station, Li Tianyao knew very well that once the tide of liberation swept across Tianjin, what awaited him would definitely not be a happy ending.But judging from the current situation, it is impossible to stop this red wave. The only question is whether to arrive early or late.Although he has been trying to comfort his panic-stricken subordinates in every possible way recently, in fact he knows very well in his heart that he may be the last stationmaster of Tianjin Station in history.

January tenth. [

Li Tianyao glanced at the calendar, then lit up a cigarette irritably and smoked vigorously.In the past few days, his heart has been restless almost all the time, as if he was holding a pot of boiling oil on fire.He deeply felt that a major event would happen to him soon.Judging from the current environment, it is self-evident what this "big event" will be.

no!Can't wait any longer!

Li Tianyao firmly pressed the cigarette into the ashtray full of cigarette butts, then grabbed the phone on the table, and said into the microphone: "Hello! Is it the wiring room? I'm the station master. Get me to the operation department."

After waiting for a while, he went on to say: "Operation Department? You are Xiao Zhao, is Director Zhou in there? Okay, go find him and ask him to come to my office as quickly as possible. That's it !"

Putting down the phone, Li Tianyao stood up and circled the office.The cigarette in his hand was drawn out and then stuffed back in again and again.After a while, he finally stopped and sat on the sofa to smoke a cigarette, but before the cigarette was half smoked, he extinguished the cigarette and started to walk around the room again, as if ten thousand cigarettes were being smoked. Ants crawled all over his body, making him restless.

"Boom! Boom!"

A rhythmic knock on the door came from behind, Li Tianyao hurriedly sat back on the sofa and crossed his legs.It sank for a few seconds.He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice towards the door:

"Who?"

"Station Master, it's me." A hoarse male voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, Xiao Zhou, come in." Li Tianyao reached out and stroked back his temple hair.

The dark gray door opened with a "squeak", and a slightly short man walked into the room.The man was thin, wearing a black woolen trench coat and a black top hat.There are polished black leather shoes under his feet, and soft black sheepskin gloves on his hands.Even the collar of the shirt exposed from the collar of the windbreaker is black, like a ghost crawling out of the darkness.

The man nodded to Li Tianyao, turned around and closed the door.He took off his top hat and walked towards the sofa while taking off his gloves.The black windbreaker was slightly loose on his thin body, swinging back and forth with his steps.It seems that the guise yyng hanging in front of the restaurant looks a little funny.If you were dressed like an ordinary person, you would inevitably laugh secretly, but this happened to this man.Most people can't laugh anymore.The reason is very simple, no one will laugh at a pale, cold-eyed person who looks very sinister for causing trouble for himself.

"Station Master, are you looking for me?" The man in black sat down on the sofa.

"Xiao Zhou, how long have you been with me?" Li Tianyao lit a cigarette, "How do you think I treat you?"

The man in black called Xiao Zhou raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "You are my reborn parents. If it wasn't for you, I would have become a water ghost in the Huangpu River long ago!"

After a slight pause, he asked hesitantly: "Station Master, is there... is there something wrong with this subordinate? Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Don't worry, it's not your business." Li Tianyao waved his hand, then reached out and picked up a roll of copywriting from the coffee table and handed it to the man in black, "Look, the secret order passed down from Shangfeng."

The man in black reached out to take the file, and the bright red word "Top Secret" on the cover made him squint his eyes.However, he didn't make a sound, just watched silently.This dossier is not very thick, and the number of pages is naturally not too many.It didn't take long for the man in black to read the content thoroughly.However, after reading the dossier, he did not put it down, but frowned and read it again.It wasn't until the second time that the entire file was read that the man in black put it on the coffee table, thinking about something silently.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you think?" Li Tianyao took out a cigarette again and lit it, as if he didn't care that the smoke in the room was thick enough to be like a mist. [

"Station Master, this basic news... are you sure it's true?" The man in black lightly clicked on the front page of the dossier.

"Major Zhou Lingfeng! Correct your attitude. This secret order was personally ordered by the chairman, and it was strictly implemented immediately. Are you doubting the party and the state?" Li Tianyao reprimanded with a straight face.After being silent for a while, he eased his expression, and then said: "Ling Feng, I know this message looks a bit unbelievable, but I can guarantee its authenticity. In order to get this message, three people have already Died for the party and country, and they are all my former students."

"I understand." Zhou Lingfeng nodded, then straightened his face, and said, "Even if the news is true, no one can say for sure whether we can get the result. To be honest, I personally think that the hope is very slim. I don't know." You see, we have planes, we have artillery, we have soldiers. Why not use these real things to win victory, but pin our hopes on such illusory things?"

"You have these things. Others have them too!"

"Their equipment is not as sophisticated as ours. Our equipment is the most advanced American equipment. What's more, the ability of our generals..."

"But people have the hearts of the people!" Li Tianyao interrupted Zhou Lingfeng.He sighed heavily, and said earnestly: "The sky is about to change. There are some things that cannot be done by manpower!"

Zhou Lingfeng was silent.He is well aware of the recent undercurrents in Tianjin.A few days ago, he personally arrested a few guys who were distributing leaflets into the cell of the operation department, and beat them up really hard.

Li Tianyao looked at the silent Zhou Lingfeng and shook his head, got up and sat beside him, patted his shoulder and said:

"Ling Feng, don't be too discouraged. Although Tianjin will definitely not be able to keep it, at least we can retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. No matter how bad it is, we can talk to them about crossing the river. Don't underestimate the news mentioned in this file. You You know, even the Americans are extremely concerned about this news, but we have been very strict and have not leaked any rumors. Don't forget, how the Americans made Japan surrender!"

"You mean..." Zhou Lingfeng looked up at Li Tianyao in surprise.

"Now, you know how important this task is!" Li Tianyao nodded, pointed to the file on the coffee table, and continued: "If we can master this kind of power, let alone retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, even if we retreat overseas, we can How? Sooner or later, I will be able to counterattack and come back! Ling Feng. Ever since I brought you back, I have always treated you as my own son. Although this mission has certain dangers, it seems that there is not much hope, but once it succeeds , you are the hero of the party and country! It is worth fighting for!"

Li Tianyao stood up.He walked to the side with his hands behind his back.After silently watching the gloomy sky outside for a while, he said in a solemn voice: "Your mistress and I are not too young, and we don't have any other hopes in this life, only hope that you will become famous, and you will be the old captain Huai. Although I am also reluctant. But this is almost the only chance, if the army of the party-state... Hey! You understand, then we will have nothing. Instead of this, why not give it a go!"

"Teacher, I understand. I will never disappoint your expectations, and I will do my best for the party and the country!" Zhou Lingfeng stood up from the sofa, his eyes extremely firm.

Li Tianyao turned around, nodded slightly at Zhou Lingfeng, and said: "Don't let the third person know about this matter, you can read that file again, and burn it immediately after memorizing the contents. Get ready and leave Tianjin as soon as possible .I'm worried that I won't be able to go out in a few days."

"No need, I have already memorized the content." Zhou Lingfeng picked up the file and threw it into the fireplace, then turned his head and said, "Teacher, the situation here is getting more and more dangerous. What should you and your wife do?"

"I will send your teacher's wife out tonight first, so I will stick to it. Before you safely leave the surrounding red zone, someone must be your backing." Li Tianyao walked to the desk, opened the drawer and took out a small The package was handed over to Zhou Lingfeng, "Lingfeng, the operation funds will be withdrawn from the financial department in a while, and I have already greeted them. You can collect these gold bars yourself, Xinjiang is far away, and there are many obstacles along the way. Prepare for a rainy day."

Zhou Lingfeng put away the small package, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, you don't need to stay, why don't you go with your wife. Even if Tianjin falls, our communication line will not be broken for a while. Just hit a few stops."

"Needless to say," Li Tianyao waved his hand forcefully, "People are panicking now, do you know who else is truly loyal to the party-state? I don't worry, I must stand by myself before you reach the safe zone! Don't forget, I am also the party-state soldiers!"

Zhou Lingfeng watched Li Tianyao silently for a while, then raised his arms firmly and performed a standard military salute.

"Teacher, take care!"

After saying that, Zhou Lingfeng hid his pale face under the shadow of the top hat again, and walked out of the office without looking back.

Can the things in Xinjiang really save the party-state that has been rotten to the bone? [

Li Tianyao looked at the dark gray door and sighed, reached out and picked up the phone on the table.At the same time, in a hidden corner in the corridor outside the house, a pair of eyes were staring closely at Zhou Lingfeng who was walking down the stairs. (to be continued...)
