Chapter 268 Arrival at Henan Province Station
The next morning, Lin Anan got up at dawn.
As soon as she walked out of the house, a breeze mixed with the fragrance of dew blew on her face, making her feel refreshed instantly.
The trees in the yard were lush and green, with branches and leaves swaying gently in the morning breeze. There were also birds perched on the courtyard wall, singing crisply. Everything was exceptionally beautiful, yet Lin Anan felt a little melancholy about parting in her heart.
Soon, the slight roar of a car broke the tranquility of the early morning.
The military vehicle arrived to pick up Lin Anan.
Lin Zihuai and the other two stood behind her, their eyes full of reluctance and worry.
Lin Anan hugged them one by one without saying much. She took a deep breath, took a last look at the familiar courtyard, picked up the luggage that had been prepared long ago, and walked out the door steadily.
"Go back and take care of yourselves."
The military vehicle slowly drove out of the military compound.
There were two other people in the car, one of whom Lin Anan had seen before. He was Captain Ke from the Special Operations Battalion. He had been with Chu Mingzhou for many years and was a reliable person. He could be considered a comrade-in-arms who could be trusted with his back.
It was thoughtful of Commander Zheng to arrange for him to drive Lin Anan.
However, Captain Ke was still injured and could not do much except helping to drive.
There was also a female comrade who was fair-skinned, wore a pair of glasses, and seemed easy to talk to.
"Sister-in-law, this is my wife, Bai Xiufang. She works in the intelligence analysis department of our military region. She will go with you this time and assist you in your work." Company Captain Ke introduced.
Lin Anan paused slightly!
Captain Ke is as dark and strong as a bull, but his wife is so petite and cute, which is indeed a big contrast.
"Hello, Comrade Bai. I'm Lin Anan."
"Sister-in-law, I know you. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with you this time."
Captain Ke and his wife are both very talkative and have particularly cheerful personalities. After chatting for a while, the three of them gradually became familiar with each other.
It is about four or five hundred kilometers from the military district compound to He City, Henan Province. If you set out early in the morning, you can probably arrive in the afternoon.
Lin Anan looked out the car window at both sides of the road. The fields in July were full of vitality. The golden rapeseed flowers were blooming wantonly, as if a golden velvet carpet had been laid on the earth. When the breeze blew, ripples appeared on the sea of flowers, which was beautiful beyond words.
Occasionally you can see farmers working in the fields. They wear straw hats, bend over, and work hard, instantly igniting a strong atmosphere of life.
The car sped along, gradually moving away from the familiar town and heading into the winding mountain road.
The mountain is covered with green trees. The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming golden beams of light. A stream gurgles in the mountain.
At noon, the three of them rested for a short while and ate some dry food they brought with them without any delay.
As we went along, the terrain became gradually flatter and more open. In the distance, modern factory buildings came into view, with smoke rising from chimneys, heralding the booming industry.
This is entering Henan Province.
The sky gradually changed from azure blue to a hint of clear red. As the sun set, its afterglow sprinkled on the earth, giving everything a layer of gold.
When night completely enveloped the earth, the military vehicles finally drove into the military base in Heshi City, Henan Province.
As soon as the military vehicle stopped, several soldiers came to greet them. The leading major saluted and said, "Comrade Lin, Comrade Bai, thank you for your hard work. I am the contact person for the Heshi Military District in Henan Province. My surname is Zhao. In the next period of time, I will be responsible for coordinating your work and life arrangements."
Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang hurriedly returned the gift.
"We are here to support on behalf of the Northwest Military, and we hope to do our part for Henan Province."
"Major Zhao, thank you for your hard work. I am sorry to have caused you trouble."
Major Zhao smiled and waved his hand. "No need to bother. You two can go to your residence to put your luggage and take a short rest. We will have a brief mission meeting later."
"OK."
Lin Anan is a real novice. It is her first time to face a military mission, so she can be said to be very careful and cautious.
Along the way, she noticed that the soldiers coming and going here were all in a hurry, and the atmosphere was obviously much more tense than that in the Northwest Military Region.
The accommodation arrangement was quite good. Bai Xiufang and Lin Anan lived in a room that was simple and clean, with everything they needed.
Lin Anan put down her luggage, washed her face, tidied her clothes a little, and went to the meeting room with Bai Xiufang.
There were already quite a few people sitting in the conference room. When they saw Lin Anan and the others come in, they all stood up and greeted them.
Major Zhao stepped forward and introduced everyone to each other.
It turned out that these were the personnel involved in relevant aspects of this mission, including troops stationed in He City and those sent for support from other military regions.
At the beginning of the meeting, Major Zhao introduced the mission background with a serious look: "I believe everyone knows that after the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission was held, the organization issued an instruction to "prepare for war", and all military regions entered the first level alert state.
Recently, the situation around Henan Province has become quite complicated, involving the game of multiple forces, and the intelligence front is particularly critical! We have intercepted a large number of enemy secret messages, but found that they are extremely rare in Russian, and now we urgently need to accurately decipher them.
All of you here are comrades who are good at Russian and have strong intelligence analysis capabilities, which is the key to whether we can seize the initiative in this information war...”
Lin Anan looked solemn, listening very carefully, and taking notes on the key points from time to time. However, she was also secretly shocked, as the difficulty of this mission was far beyond her imagination.
After the meeting, it was already very late, and Lin Anan and the others were preparing to go back to rest.
Lin Anan was whispering to Bai Xiufang when someone blocked her way. "Are you sent by the Northwest Military Region?"
Lin Anan looked up and saw four tall and long-legged female soldiers in military uniforms standing in front of her. Not only did they speak in a bad tone, but their faces were also unfriendly.
Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang looked at each other, both stunned.
"Yes, we are sent by the Northwest Military Region to provide support. Hello..."
Before Lin Anan could finish her words, the leading female soldier waved her hand impatiently to interrupt her and scolded, "What kind of pretense is the Northwest Military Region putting on? What's the point of dressing like this? And you all look so young, can you understand the documents? Are you sent here to go through the motions?"
Bai Xiufang frowned when she heard this. She was straightforward by nature, and just as she was about to retort, Lin Anan gently pulled the corner of her clothes, signaling her to calm down.
Lin Anan looked at the rude female soldier in front of her and said coldly, "Comrade, since we were sent here, we must have been inspected by the organization and have the corresponding capabilities.
I understand your emphasis on the mission, but isn't it inappropriate to question us based on just one glance?"
The female soldier snorted coldly, "Humph, you talk nicely, but don't hold us back and delay our work."
The other female soldiers didn't say much, but they were obviously suspicious of them.
Lin Anan was not in the military to begin with, and didn't even have a military uniform, so she was dressed very simply today.
Bai Xiufang was also assigned temporarily. She set off in a hurry and was not wearing a military uniform.
The two of them are fair-skinned and look young, especially Lin Anan, who looks weak and fragile, and does not look like a soldier at all.
It looks too weak.
