Indiana Jones

Chapter 450 The Lost Bureau (01)

After returning to Chongqing, Si Xuanyi didn't have a chance to rest at all. Although his body was still injured, he still plunged into work. He felt more tired than during the task. He could work hard in the task, but in the task There are more things to consider here, which is easier for him than desperately. Although he wants to stay away from right and wrong, he can't escape from it after all. He is just tired of coping with this messy thing and tries to get rid of the outside world. Entanglement, focusing on internal construction, his team has been broken up and rebuilt many times in cruel battles, he has become accustomed to this, in fact, it is not just him, even in the regular army, this situation also exists, It's just that he is relatively small, even if he loses all of them, he will only lose a dozen or twenty. It's not as tragic as the regular army's organizational system disappearing in the battle.

In fact, Si Xuanyi has been facing the problem of shortage of manpower from the very beginning, and it has not been completely resolved until now. The elite among the elite, but the proportion of the elite is so small that it is a bit pitiful. After so many combat missions, the waves wash away the sand, and there are only a few people left by his side. While adding new people, the old man is also constantly Withering away, only the woodcutter is left among the three veterans, and he is still recuperating in the Northeast.

Although there were only him and Li Siming at the beginning, the situation they faced there was not as complicated as it is now, and with Liang Wei's assistance, the three of them could support the appearance, but what about now?With the continuous increase of manpower, various problems have come one after another. This and that, troubles follow. On the contrary, there is a feeling that there are not enough people.

Si Xuanyi knew very well about the people sent from above that these people could not be rejected and could only be accepted completely, but how to use them was a problem. Clean up these people well, let them understand that since you are under your own hands, you have to be obedient, otherwise they will have good fruit to eat. Assigned to different channels, no matter what purpose they come to this department, at least they must first play their role, become a member of this department, and serve this department first, otherwise there will be no chance to stay, regardless of their private affairs. As long as it doesn't affect the operation of the entire department, Si Xuanyi will not ask what he wants to do. He has been an officer for so many years, and now he understands the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish.

"There's a surprise..." Just after lunch, Ye Feng rushed to report the news. Si Xuanyi didn't know what he meant by surprise, but when he was in a daze, someone entered his office. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It turned out that the woodcutter and Zhao Zhao had successfully returned. The injuries of the two of them have been healed after taking medicine. At least they can walk now. It is not as inconvenient as before. Fang Yuanshan also looks energetic , Generally speaking, the complexions of several people are good.

"It's good to be back..." Si Xuanyi immediately got up to greet him. These people are all life-and-death friendships, brothers in life and death, and people who have experienced hardships together. Of course, they don't see outsiders. He is not an official at all in front of these people. like a child.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, see you!" Zhao Chenggong looked at Si Xuanyi and said.

"I'm not a young man at all, and it's been a long time since I was thirty." Si Xuanyi punched Zhao Chenggong hard, "It's not bad, you look good, I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

The woodcutter came back before he fully recovered from his injuries. Si Xuanyi immediately arranged for Fang Yuanshan to take the old man to rest. He didn't mention much about what happened to the fisherman. He was afraid that the old man would not be able to withstand the blow, but someone finally came back. It can also be regarded as being able to talk to multiple people, which is not a bad thing.

Zhao Chenggong's injury is still not healed, but he is a person who can't be idle. After returning, he started to work. According to him, he was too idle in the Northeast. He ate delicious food and spicy food three times a day, and his weight suddenly increased More than a dozen catties, if you don’t exercise or do some work, you probably won’t be able to run, and you won’t be able to perform tasks.

Si Xuanyi, who took care of his old family in the Northeast, was not worried about their safety. Now that he was back, he had to worry about them being tired. But generally speaking, this was something worth celebrating. After all, for him, the wounded returned to the team. It is a kind of supplement in terms of strength or form, at least it can strengthen the appearance, and you don't have to move around alone anymore, making you look like a polished commander.

In the evening, Si Xuanyi greeted the three of them. In fact, their mouths were not wronged, but they had to have some meaning to show that they valued the three of them.

"The food provided by your family is so good, I can't stand it." Zhao Chenggong looked at the table full of dishes and surprisingly didn't drool.

"Over there, it's true that we feel like celebrating Chinese New Year every day. It's a shame that my elder brother takes good care of us." Fang Yuanshan said a little embarrassed.

"Being there is the same as being at home. If it's better than being at home, it should be. Whether it's going home or bringing guests, we have always been like this. It's not a shame." Si Xuanyi knocked on the table, "Okay, let's eat, yours The injury is not healed, and I can’t drink, but eating shouldn’t be a problem, right? Let go and eat, just enough, I don’t know when there will be a task, so, we have to live well, at least to live well in front of us.”

What you said is true. Those who do their business will find it in the ravine someday. They will not be able to eat a meal for ten and a half months, and they may even go without food or drink for a long time. Although it is not counted, after that There is no tomorrow today, but at least it is an industry that suffers from great sins and sufferings. It has become commonplace to eat and sleep in the open.

"Yes... I'm sorry for your kindness if I don't eat it." The woodcutter put a piece of meat into his mouth, "This time I came back and it's not the same as before. Why are there so many faces? Besides, the atmosphere is not quite right. .”

Si Xuanyi smiled wryly and remained silent. Liang Wei briefly explained the matter to the few people who had just returned, and only then did they understand what was going on. For them, this place should stay in the state before their last mission. Unexpectedly During this period, so many things happened and so many changes, the world is indeed unpredictable, people outside are watching them more and more closely, and their life is getting more and more difficult.

"No matter what the system is, if you don't go to fight against the Japanese and cause civil strife, you are a bastard." Zhao Chenggong has always been not used to these people. Whether it is in front of or behind the scenes, he always opens his mouth and scolds. According to his words, he doesn't care if he can't understand To relieve hatred, at least you can live your mouth.

"In the future, everyone should be more careful when going out. We have secretly competed with the grandsons of Zhongtong, and they are likely to retaliate against us." Si Xuanyi told everyone.

"I don't believe that he dares to fight, let's do it." Zhao Chenggong disapproved of this.

"We have already started." Ye Feng told what happened before.

"Oh!" The woodcutter really didn't expect that things had developed to this point. Although he knew how irreconcilable the conflict with the Zhongtong was, he always felt that it hadn't reached the point where the swordsman would meet.

"Ever since I was arrested, I didn't intend to make peace with the situation. I just always felt that it was too much to work for the party-state. But now it seems that I really have to teach them a lesson, otherwise they will think I'm easy to bully." Si Sylphy sneered and said, "If Ye Fengxin and I hadn't fought against each other last time, we would have suffered the most."

"Then you really have to be careful." The woodcutter thought for a while, "According to the usual practice, the upper management should have intervened long ago, but it's still so quiet up to now, have they already said hello?"

"Yes." Si Xuanyi nodded. "Actually, there have always been conflicts between the two organizations. It is currently focused on the struggle for power in our department. They want to kill us all and establish a new one."

"It's done. It may not be so easy for them to take it. You don't have to worry too much." Zhao Chenggong is not very worried.

"They have already divided us up and down, divided our strength from the grassroots level, spoke ill of us in front of the old man, and have been trying to convince the upper level that we are not good at doing things. We have not achieved any substantive results until now. I hope that in the future They come to govern and set up a more efficient cultural relics protection department. Although they are not blatantly demanding power, they have already begun to operate secretly. The reason why the higher authorities hold us tight and protect us so tightly is not because we did a good job. It's just that they are reluctant to let go of this piece of fat." Si Xuanyi said, "We are just toys in the power struggle."

"Now the mutual insurance agencies in Shandong have all collapsed. Siming and Lin Feng can sustain their injuries there for a while. If it weren't for them, it is estimated that the local government would have started to intervene. Now I have sent a group of people there, but these people are not It's so easy to do, they are all the old military commanders from above, and the work pressure of the two of them is not small." Si Xuanyi was very worried about Li Siming and Lin Feng who were in Shandong.

"There is no doubt that the two of them are very capable, you have to trust them." The woodcutter nodded and said, "We are going to face unprecedented pressure and difficulties, and now I am the only old guy left, alas... no Know when, I also..."

"The old man knows?" Si Xuanyi was very surprised, he didn't dare to tell the woodcutter about this, just to prevent him from being overwhelmed.

"How can this kind of thing be hidden from me? Life and death are impermanent. I can see that, but I feel a little regretful that I haven't seen the old man for the last time." The woodcutter said calmly, obviously, He has long since disregarded life and death.

Silence, everyone doesn't speak, in fact, why don't they feel sad about losing two old seniors?It's just that in these years, life and death are impermanent, and no one can control them. Everyone is equal in the face of war. This is the cruelty of war.

"Let's eat..." Liang Wei said lightly when she saw that the atmosphere was not quite right.

"In fact, the situation in various places is similar. They are all facing a situation similar to that in Shandong. The local government is secretly making trouble, and the garrisons in various places are also starting to make trouble. Our people have suffered a lot. The activities of the little devils are becoming more and more frequent. It is said that not much progress has been made, but there are indeed more and more ancient relics stolen and destroyed by taking the opportunity. Our people are fighting desperately below, but those guys are watching the fun, waiting, looking forward to our people fighting After death, they seize power and step in."

"Is there no response from above?" The woodcutter couldn't believe that they had reached the point where no one was in charge.

"How could no one care about it..." Si Xuanyi sighed, "But the problem is ours, we can't just rely on the top, Director Mao has sent someone to coordinate the specific effect and it won't be seen, but let's just say it The pressure and prestige will be restrained in various places, especially in those places where the garrison will never dare to touch the brow of the military command, but the local government may not be so honest, especially in the Japanese-occupied areas. There are not many people, but I can't help them so much, the loss is quite large, and some places even directly betrayed our people to Japan, in short, it is shocking."

The woodcutter never expected that since the matter had developed to this point, he knew about Si Xuanyi being arrested by the Zhongtong people before, and he thought it was a misunderstanding if he knew something about it, but now it seems that it is definitely not that simple. These two organizations have never stopped, and there are always conflicts of one kind or another between them. It is common for the two sides to send undercover agents to monitor each other, steal information, and assassinate each other. Small departments can also get to this point.

"Are there any missions in the near future?" Zhao Chenggong asked again. After a minute of communication just now, he finally understood how complicated the situation is, so he felt that Si Xuanyi might take a series of measures to deal with the problems with the Central Committee in the near future. , They are likely to be sent to other places to stabilize the treasure protection teams in some important provinces, take charge of local reconstruction agencies, stabilize the local environment, and reduce the local impact on their cultural relics protection work.

"No..." Si Xuanyi shook his head, this answer really surprised Zhao Chenggong.

"Then... what are your plans?" the woodcutter asked.

"It's very simple. Do your own work well first. Anyway, the superiors have given us a lot of manpower. Let's use this group of people to form the lower team. At least in name, it is to promote these bastards. Although it is very hard for the lower, but There is a lot of oil and water to be fished, this job is very tasteless, there is nothing to do, if you stay at the headquarters, you will not show their ability, if you don't go, you will disobey my order, and you will not be reconciled, I just want them to be so annoying Now, you have to do the work for me. You can’t be too soft-hearted when dealing with these guys. You have to let them understand that I am their boss now. No matter what purpose they come to my subordinates, they must first do the tasks I gave them. " Si Xuanyi said with a sneer.
