For Yang Jicai to immediately understand the meaning of his words, Yang Zhen didn't feel any surprise. With Yang Jicai's ability, if he couldn't hear the meaning of his words, it would be impossible for him to walk so well in the army. This kid's head is still spinning quite fast.

But Yang Jicai's answer made Yang Zhen's brows furrow: "Third brother, you should know that your eldest brother and I are not the kind of superficial character who only looks at appearances. Whether she is really cold or falsely cold, this is not a reason for me to oppose you. I ask you now, did she tell you about her taking the initiative to become a school doctor in the primary school for children of the military region, or did you inquire about it yourself? ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's question, Yang Jicai said without hesitation: "I asked someone to inquire about it myself, and she wouldn't tell me this." We've been dating for almost a year, and she's never talked to me about work. I also know that she was assigned to the children's primary school as a school doctor by the Ministry of Social Affairs, but in fact, it is more to take care of our parents. ”

"Big brother, I visited her for the first time since my parents came to Harbin, and when I first met her, I already liked her. Even when I first started pursuing her, I was just like those people. The letter I wrote to her was returned to me without even opening the envelope. ”

"Every time I go back to Harbin, I take the opportunity to visit my parents. I brought her a lot of handicrafts that I made with bullet casings and shell casings, and it took her a lot of stalking to make her finally nod. But although the eldest brother is chasing very hard, I really feel very happy when I am with her. ”

"The mountains of swords, blood, and guns on the battlefield around her seemed to have completely left me all at once. Every time I see her, my heart is unusually peaceful. It's so wonderful, and so peaceful. The two of them just stayed there quietly, not thinking about anything, so relaxed. ”

"Before you and your sister-in-law went to your parents to get engaged, she didn't know who their parents really were. I only know that the people I take care of are important people, and I don't know my relationship with you. She didn't know about my relationship with you until the last time we showed up together when you were engaged. ”

"And before that, I had been talking to her for a few months, and I never said anything about my relationship with you. She herself is not clear under the strict secrecy requirements. She doesn't even know that my parents are also the parents of you, the number one in the army. ”

"After knowing my relationship with you, she has been under a lot of pressure and has talked about breaking up with me, but I have been persisting and not giving up. Big brother, I've never begged you, this time I'm begging you. For the sake of what I've worked so hard to pursue, you'll approve it. I know you don't agree, and the Department of Political Affairs will not approve it. ”

Yang Jicai's last tone can even be said to have a hint of pleading. Looking at his younger brother's sad appearance, Yang Zhen was somewhat soft-hearted. But when he thought of this doctor's background, Yang Zhen still shook his head resolutely. He can accept that the people around him have people from the Social Department, but he can't accept that there are people from the Social Department in his family anyway.

He did not exclude certain aspects of the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs, but he believed that they were necessary in a difficult and war-like environment. The defection of a man in a key position may bring about the destruction of an army. Hundreds of people will pay for their lives, and the situation will be completely ruined.

The thousand-mile causeway was destroyed in the anthill, and it is better to take some precautions in advance than to make up for the loss after causing irreparable losses. Preventing it before it happens is something that any army in the most difficult times will do. Therefore, his opposition to this marriage is not because he is disgusted with some of the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs.

But Yang Zhen knows very well that people who have been engaged in this kind of work for a long time have quite a dark side in their hearts. This mentality may not be visible now, but in the long run, it will inevitably implicate family life. The current Yang Jicai can't realize it, but if it accumulates to a certain extent, these dark sides will explode sooner or later.

The untimely death was already a common phenomenon among those security experts in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China a few years later. Many more have been caught up in the political storm. At that time, it will be a quite serious blow to Yang Jicai. Instead of jumping chickens and dogs at that time, it is better to completely separate now.

What's more, the reason why Yang Zhen opposes this marriage is not only for this reason. There were so many things that he couldn't even say to anyone. Although disagreeing with this marriage may bring a lot of trouble to himself, Yang Zhen doesn't care. Compared with these troubles, he values his family more.

Yang Zhen knows very well that if he does not approve this marriage agreement this time, it will definitely cause some criticism at some levels, and may even be some unnecessary suspicions. Because whether he accepts this marriage or not means whether he accepts certain jobs from the Ministry of Social Affairs.

If he doesn't approve, with his current status, it will definitely bring some unnecessary suspicion, which is not good for Yang Zhen himself. But Yang Zhen, who didn't want to let the family affection be mixed with a trace of other meanings, and he didn't want to have an extra pair of eyes in his family, and even affect his younger brother's future development, still chose to refuse.

Facing Yang Jicai's pleading gaze, Yang Zhen pondered for a while and said, "Third brother, it's not that I have any family concepts. It's not that I'm in this position, since you're my younger brother, you have to find someone who is the right person. There is no such thing as a political marriage in our party, and I am not a person, and there is no need for that, I need to take my brother's happiness to give myself some help. ”

"Our family is an ordinary family of small intellectuals, and there is no bullshit concept. I am against this marriage because I have my own ideas. You only know that she is a medical worker assigned by the Ministry of Social Affairs to her parents, but do you know what her background is? Do you know what a full-time job in the Ministry of Social Affairs is? ”

"Let me tell you, don't keep thinking that the Ministry of Social Affairs is only external, just a simple political security department. I can tell you plainly that the work of law and order and security in the base area is only one-third of all the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs. The work of countering foreign affairs is only the other third. ”

And their eyes are not only on the enemy, but also on the inside. I can tell you today that part of the predecessor of the Ministry of Social Affairs was called the State Political Security Bureau during the Red Army. That's what I can tell you, and the rest is what I can't tell you, and don't ask. Knowing too much is a bad thing for you. ”

"But I think the name of the State Political Security Bureau, you should not be unfamiliar with the situation that there are so many Red Army cadres in the army now. You should know exactly what this agency does. Today I can tell you that during the Red Army it was a cadre at the regimental level, and the guards themselves did not have the right to choose, they were all sent by this body. You can think about what this organization does. ”

"As for the work of the Ministry of Social Affairs, not to mention me, the No. 1 military chief of the whole army, or Political Commissar Li, the No. 1 political chief in charge of the political work of the whole army, there is also a considerable part of the work that cannot be interfered with, or even has no right to intervene. It is precisely because of this situation that I do not agree to this marriage. Because I don't want to have an extra pair of eyes in my home. ”

"Third brother, you are in love and married, and I am very happy to be an elder brother. But our family situation is quite special, and I don't want to have any extraneous complications. Remember, I'm not doing this for my own political gain. If it was for my personal political interests, I would never shake my head on this marriage. ”

"And I, that is, I have nothing to see people, and I am not afraid of people to see it. I'm here for you, for the good of our family, and I don't want you to get too deep into politics. You are just a simple military cadre, and your job is to fight your battle well. ”

As soon as Yang Zhen's words were finished, Yang Jicai couldn't help but be stunned. Although Yang Zhen's words were only half said, Yang Jicai also roughly understood what the reason for his eldest brother's opposition was. Although the eldest brother did not fully explain it, the name of the National Political Security Bureau in the mouth of the eldest brother made him really understand a lot of things.

He heard the name of the State Political Security Bureau from his comrades-in-arms who had come from the Red Army in the army. Although many years have passed, there is still a little shuddering expression. Although he said that it was not comprehensive, he also vaguely knew what kind of institution it was.

However, as Yang Jicai, who has always been a simple military cadre, he still does not know the specific responsibilities of the Ministry of Social Affairs. I don't know what the specific difference between the current Ministry of Social Affairs and the State Political Security Bureau during the Red Army period is. In fact, if the intelligence department is a sword piercing the heart of the enemy, then this social department is a synthesis of a shield and a spear composed of omnipresent eyes.

Compared with the intelligence department of the military region, which is more in charge of military intelligence, the work is more limited. At present, he is temporarily part-time in the Social Department of the Security Department of the Military Region, and the intelligence system under his control is more comprehensive. In particular, many of the secret information collected are directly under the Ministry of Social Affairs. In particular, all internal intelligence work is under the direct control and management of the Ministry of Social Affairs.

However, within the military region, the focus of the work of the security department is not on intelligence gathering, but on guarding against espionage and special affairs, and on eliminating unstable elements within the country. and the safety and security of senior commanders. There is a separate military intelligence department for all information gathering related to military matters.

But in terms of the construction of the entire intelligence network, as well as the specific aspects of the entire intelligence system. Compared with the intelligence department of the military region, which has a relatively single work goal, the social department has absolutely far more resources than the intelligence department. Political, economic, and strategic intelligence are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Social Affairs. However, under Yang Zhen's insistence, the foreign intelligence work is still in charge of the intelligence department of the military region.

Moreover, the current Social Department of the Northeast Bureau is no longer the original unified organizational structure, which is in charge of the sky, the earth and the air in the middle. The original Ministry of Social Affairs has now decided to divide it into three. In addition to espionage prevention and security, the public security system that was originally in charge has been handed over to the Ministry of Public Security of the Northeast People's Government.

The internal security forces under the Ministry of Social Affairs were reorganized as a whole into the public security forces of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, separated from the Ministry of Social Affairs as a whole, and changed to be under the dual management of the Military Region and the Northeast People's Government. The security department of the military region, which was formerly under the control of the Ministry of Social Affairs, is being reorganized, and the security department of the military region is no longer concurrently under the Ministry of Social Affairs.

It's just that the work of decoupling the security department of the military region from the social department has only just begun. Personnel and organization are far from complete. For the time being, the Security Department of the Military Region is still concurrently served by the Ministry of Social Affairs. But this is only a temporary measure, and the process of institutional reform has already begun.
