Chapter 540 The Ups and Downs of Troubled Times (05)

In fact, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to complete a mission, but after the department has completed the system construction, it is difficult for Si Xuanyi to complete a mission. After all, the team below is much more complete than before, so there is basically nothing to do with him. Well, the people below can complete the existing tasks, especially after Liu Xiaotian came, it can be regarded as basically covering all his outing tasks, this is another discovery he has made after Liang Wei Known as a capable general, Li Siming often led Liu Xiaotian out to carry out missions because of Liu Xiaotian's injuries. Si Xuanyi could only sigh in disbelief.

Although he doesn't need to go out on missions anymore, the tragedy of missions every time he goes out is no worse than what they experienced before. Almost all of them go out in a mighty way for more than a dozen or even dozens of missions, but few come back. Liu Xiaotian is also injured all over his body. , It can be seen how fierce the battle on the treasure-protecting battlefield is, and how crazy the Japanese are plundering the culture of my Greater China.

They work day and night, rushing around to rescue, protect and rob cultural relics and historic sites. Although they have to pay a huge amount every time, the little devil's defeat has been revealed, and he has been losing ground in the Pacific battlefield. It seems that he can't bear it for long. However, from the battles they participated in, it is difficult to reflect this point. The little devil's crazy plunder is even worse than before. According to Zhao Chenggong, the little devil wants to make a fortune before he is finished, and wants to rob everything he can. Go, take everything you can, and don't plan to leave even a copper coin to the Chinese.

At the summary meeting, they analyzed in detail the achievements and existing problems of the recent work task plan.

Liang Wei made detailed statistics, allowing them to have a systematic understanding of the completion of recent missions: "Although the overall battle situation seems to be getting worse and worse for the little devils, from our point of view, the missions are getting worse and worse." Many, and the difficulty is even greater than before. I have done the task statistics for the past three months, and found that it has increased by at least 3000% year-on-year, and the number of casualties is nearly [-]% higher than before, but the completion of the work is much better than before. In the past three months, we have snatched back more than [-] precious cultural relics..."

Si Xuanyi nodded, and said with emotion: "It can be said for sure that the results are gratifying, but the price is also painful. Every cultural relic we rescued has the blood and lives of our soldiers on it. For these, we How many people fell in the process of carrying out the mission? Do a good job of statistics, even if our people die in battle, they will not be unknown soldiers. At least we must remember every brother who lost his life for work. They are qualified to be responsible for future generations He said that in order to preserve our thousand-year-old Chinese civilization, he has done his part. Don't ignore their families, do a good job of comforting their families, give them the highest courtesy and compensation, and at least ensure that his family has no food or clothing. Worrying, we have not only completed external tasks for so long, but internal personnel welfare issues have also been basically resolved.”

"We have been doing this work, but it is quite difficult to complete. After all, many brothers' families are in enemy war zones, and it is almost difficult for us to control those places, so apart from sending some money, we really can't do anything else. "Liang Wei said.

"Even if you give money, you must ensure the quality and quantity. Don't let the money be embezzled by the middle link; if someone finds out that someone has used this kind of money, you will be shot immediately." Si Xuanyi hates people who are stuck on the way, especially for those who are on the way. He would never be polite to the family members of the fallen soldiers who attacked them.

"It's better for our first batch of people. Parents, parents and family members are all here, so don't worry about it." Fang Yuanshan is very satisfied with his treatment, although he knows very well that his parents were transported here as hostages. , but thinking about it now, it really solved his worries. He didn’t have to worry about his family’s food and drink safety issues, and he didn’t have to think about it so much when he was working hard outside. , and those who entered this department in the early days, there are less than ten left now, and most of them died in the mission. The people of Fang Yuanshan are the last batch, and the people after him are constantly added, most of them are from Most of the people dispatched by the army and various fraternal departments are death row prisoners like those in the earlier period, so using family members to threaten these people is no longer within the scope of consideration.

However, the quality of people recruited in the later stage is indeed much higher than that of the early stage. After all, the department is becoming more and more formal, and the requirements for personnel are relatively and improved a lot. The people who join in the later stage are basically high-quality people who have received formal education and formal training. Soldiers or secret agents, the protection of cultural relics requires a certain cultural foundation to learn relevant professional knowledge, and also requires a flexible mind and agility to adapt to the high-intensity combat in the wild. Those who qualify have joined.

"The recruiting of new recruits has not stopped and is still going on. Our current injury situation is faster than the recruitment, so the personnel problem has not been completely resolved. At present, it seems that there are enough personnel, but the casualties are greater than expected. So we have to be mentally prepared that there may be a shortage of personnel after a few difficult tasks." Li Siming always digs out potential problems first, takes a longer-term view, and considers work in advance.

Si Xuanyi nodded: "Expand the recruitment of personnel. If there are not enough people, then lower the standards appropriately, but you can't drag everyone in. The basic quality must be guaranteed. First of all, we must consider the particularity of our department."

"The scale of the external action team needs to be expanded. These two teams alone cannot complete more tasks. Judging from the current situation, the number and frequency of external tasks are increasing. Both Lin Feng and the old man have led the team to work outside for a month. Yes, similar situations have appeared in various places. The little devils seem to be crazier than before. The Buddha statues in several places in Shanxi have been transported away by them, and the tombs have been destroyed. There is no possibility of rescue and excavation. We are indeed a little I'm too busy." Liang Wei said.

"The little devils should go crazy. I don't believe that they can recover from the losses they suffered on the battlefield. Now that they are in a stalemate, even if they rob a lot of property, no matter how much money they have, they can't continue to buy arms from the Americans. Although Germany is in the same group as Little Japan, they can't take care of themselves, let alone the little devils. After fighting the little devils for so many years, there is nothing to use in their homeland. You can’t buy anything by relying on buying. War is a huge war of attrition. If they can’t provide the materials consumed by the war, they will not be far from failure. So, I’m afraid this battle won’t last long. We The more severe the situation they are facing, it means that the little devils are close to the final madness, and after they are mad, they are almost finished." Si Xuanyi analyzed the problems they are facing now from the overall situation, and generally speaking, they are facing a very good situation. The future, but this process will be quite tortuous.

As expected, the development of the matter was exactly as Si Xuanyi expected. The Japanese army began to plunder culture even more frantically. The number of cultural plundering Japanese troops that a department has to face is indeed insignificant. They are almost doing their best to complete the endless tasks. In this case, they have no time to continue to expand the team. The busiest time , there are only Liang Wei and thirty or so office workers in the headquarters, and all the rest are dispatched to various parts of the country. It can be said that they are so busy that there is almost no gap between tasks. Except for the seriously injured, the lightly injured They are all rushing to the field non-stop. They feel that they are exhausted. Although they have begun to use the power of guerrillas garrisoned in various places to wipe out these Japanese troops, the strength of the two sides is still very different. After all, many tasks are in the In the enemy-occupied area, no matter how many people they have, they can't confront the Japanese army there head-on. They can only mobilize as many people as they can to fight to the death with those little devils who go deep into the mountains and old forests to snatch antiques and cultural relics.

Si Xuanyi has been out on missions for more than two months. During these two months, they traveled to six places. During this period of time, there are less than ten people left who followed him here and there. The casualties of recruits who were temporarily seconded were even more severe. In the past two months, he has been traveling around, and the total number of casualties has exceeded [-] when he completed various tasks. It can be said to be quite tragic, and the others are almost in the same state as him. Almost, they were also running around, constantly stopping the little devils from plundering wildly, and continuously transporting the rescued cultural relics back to the rear for safekeeping. After a long and endless mission, they met in Hebei. Si Xuanyi had been there for a long time. He didn't see these old brothers anymore, so he was relieved that everyone was still alive.

"I've run away for half of the time, and seeing you again after a few months really feels like it's been several lifetimes." Zhao Chenggong punched Si Xuanyi, "You've been out for a few months now, and your mental state is not bad."

"Who doesn't know how to make fun of suffering? In this age, if you can't even know how to make fun of suffering, then you might as well not be alive." Si Xuanyi rubbed the pain on his shoulder and said, "I can rest assured that everyone is alive. .”

"The Hubei side has basically been settled." Li Siming said, "We have basically completed the known treasure protection operations. As for those who don't know, there is nothing they can do. After all, the Japanese army has been active recently, and they seem to really want to make money. Last vote and go home with a pat on the ass."

"For sure, you can pay back the money and buy things directly when you take them back." Zhao Chenggong took out two pieces of jade pendants and handed them to Li Siming, "It is said that they are two pieces of concentric jade. It's an unexpected harvest, I got it unintentionally during the task of recovering the Houhan copper tripod, it is said that this thing is priceless, I don't understand, you can take it back and have a look."

"This is a kind of blood jade. It's the style of the Northern Song Dynasty. It should only be worn by a queen. It's really valuable." Li Siming took a closer look. After working in this business for so long, he has indeed become more than half an expert. One of the woodcutter's most valued.

"I don't understand. You should hold this thing. It's easy to break. Don't let me go." Zhao Chenggong waved his hand, as if pushing the sticky thing out, heaving a sigh of relief.

"We don't live here because there are any missions. The main reason is that everyone is relatively close to here. If we have nothing to do, we will go back together." Si Xuanyi said to everyone, "But the recent missions are so frequent, it shouldn't be So easy, I let us go back, we can go back along the way, what is there to do along the way."

"The situation is delicate now. The little devils in most places are sticking to the city and can't get out, but they are still sending people to collect cultural relics and antiques everywhere." Liu Xiaotian said, "We are too busy now, and now we are scattered all over the country There are more than 100 people, but compared with the actions of the little devils searching for antiques everywhere, our small number of people really can't play a big role."

"We grab one and keep one. This is our achievement. We have made a contribution. Although what we can do is limited, we are also doing our best to complete every task. That's all. Whether it is worthwhile does not depend on how many tasks we have completed, but whether we are really working hard to preserve the culture left by our ancestors. As long as our descendants still understand what is etiquette, righteousness and shame, the four books and five classics, understand, the way of Confucius and Mencius, of course Our work is not in vain, and the little devil has a lot of culture. He can take away our ancient relics but not our thoughts. We are passing on things constantly. Our civilization is there, and things are just civilizations. I believe that what we have done is of great historical significance." Si Xuanyi looked at everyone, "Although our names may not be immortal, we will definitely It will be remembered because what we have done is vital to our future generations and cultural heritage in the long run."

"Although I don't understand what you're talking about, I appreciate your serious nonsense." Zhao Chenggong didn't understand what he said at all. For him, all he did was his job to kill devils , he is content, and he doesn't care how much he can keep. In fact, in his eyes, killing devils is a happy thing, and he can complete the task by the way, so he never cares about the historical significance of these things, but He also hopes that this war will end soon, after all, everyone is willing to live a life with their wives and children on the bed, and he is of course no exception...
