At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, at the Dongjiang Military Wharf in Chongqing, a group of officers got off the boat, and Lin Mucheng walked in the middle of the team with a small rattan box in his hand.

Lin Mucheng couldn't help frowning when he saw the sentry card set up on the dock, only to hear a lieutenant colonel officer in front of him say loudly: "What's the matter, this is a military wharf, when did you start setting up the sentry post, what?" Still want to search my box? ”

Chongqing's wharves along the river have checkpoints, but only the Dongjiang military wharves have not set up checkpoints because they are all exclusively used by the military.

At this time, a major officer stood in front of the checkpoint and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, since last month, the Dongjiang Wharf has begun to set up checkpoints, please don't worry, as long as it is not a military prohibited item, we will not embarrass you." ”

These words made these officers feel weak, because the Dongjiang Wharf has always been exempt from inspection, and now Chongqing is short of materials, so these officers are more or less carrying some private goods, all to subsidize some families, but I didn't expect that now even the Dongjiang Wharf has begun to set up checkpoints.

"We have just withdrawn from the front line, what, you people are sitting in the rear enjoying the blessings, and now you have to search Lao Tzu's luggage, don't think..."

"That is, who are you, holding chicken feathers as arrows, which one here is not a hero of the Anti-Japanese War? Back in Chongqing, you treat us like this..."

Several officers suddenly made an uproar, but the major officer did not change his face, obviously he had encountered this kind of thing a lot, and he did not show any panic at all.

I saw him wave his hand, and the guards and soldiers behind him raised their guns at these officers, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The major officer said loudly again: "I emphasize again, we are the second operation department of the Military Control Bureau, in view of the fact that the Japanese sent a large number of Japanese spies to Chongqing, stealing military intelligence, and destroying the security of the capital, so the military committee issued an order to strictly inspect all traffic docks, and anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be punished by military law. You can get through with your sidearms and medicines, but if you dare to smuggle radio and electrical accessories, as well as arms and explosives, then stand up and don't embarrass us. ”

Speaking of this, his tone intensified, his eyes became sharp, and he said again: "A few days ago, there was also an officer who insisted on breaking through, but he died under my gun, everyone, please don't make a mistake." ”

His words were murderous, there was no room for compromise at all, plus the Military Commission, the Second Operations Department of the Military Command Bureau, as soon as these words came out, several officers suddenly lost their voices, these two departments, one is the highest military management department of the Kuomintang, and the other is a special service agency that specializes in supervising the military, neither of which they can disobey.

Seeing that the officers had lost their momentum, the major officer did not say anything more, waved his hand, and several members of his team stepped forward to search the luggage of these officers one by one.

But fortunately, their attention was not on those smuggled items, even if it was some ordinary prohibited items, they all turned a blind eye and let them go, and saw that they were not deliberately embarrassed, and the officers were relieved.

When it was Lin Mucheng's turn, he handed over the officer's ID card to the major officer, and opened the rattan box himself, and the major officer carefully checked it, just a few simple changes of clothes, so he returned the certificate to him and quickly let him go.

"Sir, please forgive me for my responsibilities and offenses!"

Lin Mucheng didn't speak, just nodded slightly, picked up the rattan box and walked out of the Dongjiang Wharf, Chu Jian'an, who had been guarding outside, quickly greeted him, and asked, "Why did you come out?" Isn't it already in the port? ”

After speaking, he took the luggage in Lin Mucheng's hand, and Lin Mucheng also said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on, there are more inspection posts on the dock, and they are checked one by one, which delays some time, is Chongqing now so strict?" The last time I came back, I wasn't so strict! ”

Chu Jian'an led Lin Mucheng to the side of the car, and said as he walked: "You haven't been back to Chongqing for a long time, no wonder you don't know, there were a lot of things in Chongqing some time ago, the Japanese secret service activities were rampant, and even the official residence of the commission was bombed. ”

Lin Mucheng was shocked when he heard this, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but ask: "The Japanese have all been defeated in Changsha, but I didn't expect it to be so rampant in Chongqing?" ”

Chu Jian'an opened the car door, and the two of them got into the car, and then replied: "But don't worry, at present, the Military Command Bureau is vigorously clearing out Japanese hidden agents, and now the results are remarkable, arresting many Japanese spies, and every once in a while they will be shot at Tongyuanmen. Ha ha! ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Chu Jian'an's words suddenly made Lin Mucheng's heart tighten, he didn't answer the words, just hummed softly, looked at the scenery outside the window, and didn't make a sound.

Chu Jian'an saw that Lin Mucheng was not very interested, so he didn't say much, and after a while, Lin Mucheng asked out loud: "How is my mother's illness?" What was said in the telegram was also vague, did you find a doctor to take a good look? ”

Hearing Lin Mucheng ask about his mother's body, Chu Jian'an was a little hesitant for a while, this person has been deceived back to Chongqing, so he can't lie anymore, otherwise he will be demolished as soon as he enters the house.

Chu Jian'an had no choice but to say vaguely: "Madame's body is fine, I just miss you, and you will know in a while." ”

Lin Mu heard that it was wrong when he was established, but he didn't dwell on this issue anymore, in fact, when he received the telegram, he had already guessed that he was going home, but he hadn't returned for a long time, and he really missed his relatives at home.

"Is everyone in the family okay?"

"It's all good, I'm just worried about you, you have to stay a few more days when you come back this time, and accompany the general and his wife."

The two chatted all the way and rushed back to Lin's house at eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw everyone in the family guarding the door looking forward to it, the second sister and the younger brother happily greeted them, and the mother also looked at herself with a smile, Lin Mucheng's heart was relieved, and his mother was really healthy, this time she was fooled.

The family introduced Lin Mucheng into the house, Lin Zhen heard Lin Mucheng enter the house, he slowly entered the living room, with a calm and indifferent face, but everyone knows that he didn't go to work at all today, and stayed at home waiting for the return of his eldest son.

The family happily gossiped and recounted their respective situations, and they were harmonious and happy!

At this time, Chu Jian'an walked in quickly, bent down and reported to Lin Zhen: "Director Ning is here!" ”

Lin Zhen's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded and said, "Please come in!" ”

The family was stunned, it was already noon at this time, and it was about to start lunch time, and few people would choose this time to visit, unless there was an urgent matter.

However, Mrs. Lin knew the inside story, and explained with a smile: "It's a New Year's friend of your father, who specially sent wine to your father, and he has been waiting for it for a long time!" ”

Lin Zhen also smiled seemingly unintentionally, and said to Lin Mucheng: "I'll introduce you later, he is also a graduate of Huangpu, and he is still your junior, but he is already the colonel, and he is still the junjie who is favored by the commission, even I have to borrow a few points, don't be lazy." ”

Lin Zhen's words suddenly surprised Lin Mucheng, he was the military commander of the main force of the national army, to be honest, according to his rank, if it weren't for his too shallow qualifications, he would actually be promoted to major general.

Therefore, he is a colonel with a very high gold content, that is, the colonel in the general miscellaneous army, as well as the colonel officer in the logistics department, are all lower than him in terms of position, but in his father's tone, it is obvious that the position of this colonel is higher than himself, and he is still the person who is favored by the commission, is it the person next to the military government?

But since he is his own junior, he has searched all the people in his memory, and there is no director with lower qualifications than himself, who is this person? For a moment, his heart was full of curiosity.

Soon Chu Jian'an brought in a tall young officer, and several accompanying officers walked in with a wooden box each.

Lin Mucheng looked at this young officer, and couldn't help but be stunned, although the officer's military rank is colonel, but his appearance is indeed too young, if it weren't for his calm temperament and calm demeanor, he thought he was a young man who had just left school, could this be what his father said about Junjie?

Ning Zhiheng walked a few steps, came to Lin Zhen, pointed to the wooden box held by several officers behind him, and said with a smile: "Yougong, I have scavenged all the best Fen wine in Chongqing these days, enough for you to drink for a while!" ”

With that, waving their hands, several officers put the wooden boxes aside and retreated.

At this time, Ning Zhiheng greeted Mrs. Lin again, Mrs. Lin knew that the purpose of Ning Zhiheng's coming here was to persuade Lin Mucheng, so she was naturally overjoyed in her heart, of course she was kind to Ning Zhiheng, she hurriedly greeted and joked: "Zhiheng, you send such wine, when will you drink it?" Is he really an alcoholic? ”

After speaking, he beckoned Ning Zhiheng to sit down on the side, Lin Zhen hurriedly said: "It's not me who drinks alone, that's all, it's not enough for those old guys, Zhiheng, you two are rich people, go get some back, I'll hide it first, be prepared!" ”

Lin Zhen obviously didn't treat Ning Zhiheng as an outsider when he said this, only people close to him who didn't need to be polite would have such a tone, which surprised the rest of the Lin family.

You must know that with Lin Zhen's status today, the people who can get close to him are those middle and high-level generals in the army, and young people like Ning Zhiheng can't be relied on at all.

Lin Mucheng was suspicious, secretly guessing the identity of this young officer, even Lin Shulan and Lin Muqing were confused, they couldn't contact their father's friends on weekdays, and they didn't know Ning Zhiheng and his person, and they had never heard of their parents, but now it seems that they must be high-ranking officials who are familiar with their father.
