Chapter 269: Such a big shelf
Lin Anan took a deep breath. She knew that she had to adjust her attitude, otherwise not only would she be looked down upon, but the reputation of the Northwest Military Region would also be affected.
She looked around and didn't see many people. This was inside the base, so she thought someone could speak Russian.
His eyes finally fell on the document in Bai Xiufang's hand, which was a document used for temporary discussion and analysis.
Lin Anan reached out and took the document from Bai Xiufang, with a serious expression, "My name is Lin Anan, and I am a telegraph operator representing the Northwest Military Region to support the Heshi Military Region. Comrade, may I ask who you are..."
"I'm Hu Li."
Lin Anan nodded and said, "Russian is just one of the languages I am proficient in. It is not difficult, so there is really no need to make up for it.
Since Comrade Hu has doubts about my translation ability, I can translate a passage on the spot to clear up unnecessary misunderstandings."
The people opposite looked at each other and said nothing.
Lin Anan flipped open the document in her hand, pointed to a paragraph at random, read it aloud in fluent Russian, and then translated it into Chinese word by word accurately:
"Regarding the enemy's troop movements on the eastern front, they plan to draw two battalions of troops from the rear supply station, and they are expected to arrive at the key frontline strongholds in the early morning of three days. At the same time, a batch of new weapons and equipment will also arrive to enhance their combat capabilities in the area..."
Lin Anan's translation is accurate and fluent, and her Russian is better than that of Hu Li, who claims to be a language genius.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The other female soldiers showed surprise on their faces. They didn't expect Lin Anan to have such strength.
Bai Xiufang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She walked forward, nodded to a few people, and her attitude became obviously worse, "Comrades, we are all gathered together for the same mission, please don't stir up trouble for no reason.
The people from our Northwest Military Region will definitely not hold us back, but will work together with everyone to complete the mission."
Hu Li's face flushed red, and he gave Lin An'an a cold look. His attitude did not improve at all, but his words softened. "I was too impulsive just now. I was also anxious about the mission and was afraid that something would go wrong. I didn't mean any other thing."
Lin Anan: "It doesn't matter. We are all here for work, and we can understand. Since Comrade Hu is so worried about us, he must be very capable. I hope Comrade Hu can work harder and try to solve the problem as soon as possible."
"you!"
Lin Anan pulled Bai Xiufang away, without any intention of continuing to argue with them.
After a day's journey, I was so tired that my legs were shaking. How could I have the energy to argue with others?
"Sister-in-law, I remember now. Hu Li is a military translator of the Kyoto Military Region. I heard that she is proficient in four languages." She lowered her voice and said, "She has participated in international exchanges with senior leaders many times. She is very impressive."
Lin Anan just nodded lightly and didn't continue the topic.
Capable people can think highly of themselves and be arrogant, but they have to choose the right occasion.
Every war is a national crisis, and it is the protection of thousands of soldiers who risk their lives. In such an emergency, it is better to contribute more than to stir up trouble.
After returning to their residence, Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang simply washed up and went to bed to rest.
Lin Anan was lying on the bed, her consciousness was hazy, and she kept thinking about what happened today. She missed home and also missed him...
Seeing Lin An'an turning over and over, Bai Xiufang said softly, "Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. Hu Li must be a little arrogant, we don't need to get angry with her.
When we start working formally tomorrow, she will see our strength and will have nothing to say."
"I'm fine. We're here mainly to complete the mission. We should work together instead of undermining each other. But since she has the ability, I hope she can really play a role in the mission."
"This mission is so important. No matter how proud she is, she can't joke about the mission. After all, she represents the Kyoto Military Region." Bai Xiufang comforted.
Lin Anan uttered a slight nasal sound and hummed.
As the night deepened, the two soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang responded to the assembly point and came to the temporary work department after breakfast.
The Heshi garrison had already made preparations to decipher the secret messages, and the workload awaiting the several translators was enormous.
Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang found a seat and sat down, starting to organize their thoughts.
At this time, Hu Li and others also walked in.
She glanced at Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang, and whispered to the people around her.
Major Zhao once again emphasized the importance and urgency of the mission.
Afterwards, everyone began to discuss in groups. Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang were assigned to a group and worked with several other translators and intelligence analysts.
Lin Anan quickly got down to work. She carefully studied every secret message and used her professional knowledge to translate and analyze them.
Hu Li was also busy, but she felt alienated when she saw Lin Anan. Everyone was well-dressed and paid attention to their appearance. Who wasn't dressed neatly? Only she was dressed in a shabby way, and even her face... didn't look like someone who worked seriously.
That’s right, everyone was wearing military uniforms, only Lin Anan was wearing ordinary clothes, a white shirt with navy blue pants, and her hair was casually tied into a low bun. It was actually a very refreshing and simple outfit.
Time passed minute by minute, and in just one morning, Lin Anan and her team made progress. They successfully deciphered several secret messages and obtained some important intelligence.
After learning about this, Major Zhao expressed his affirmation and praise for their work.
Lin Anan didn't feel anything, mainly because Bai Xiufang was very professional. She just translated accurately and gave suggestions.
The two of them got along surprisingly well.
Lin Anan looked at the newly received secret message intently and said to Bai Xiufang softly, "Xiaofang, we can't let our guard down. This is just the beginning. There will definitely be more difficult things to come."
Bai Xiufang nodded in agreement: "Sister-in-law, I understand. Let's work harder."
Hu Li, who was standing by, felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Lin Anan and the others being praised, but she had to admit that they were indeed capable. She gritted her teeth secretly and sped up the progress of the work at hand.
At noon, everyone took a short break and went to the cafeteria to eat.
Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang were walking towards the cafeteria when Hu Li and a few female soldiers caught up with them from behind.
There are a lot of people here now, unlike last night when there were only a few people at the dormitory door.
"Comrade Lin, you are dressed too casually. This is a military mission after all. Can't you wear a military uniform? It looks so unprofessional."
Hu Li's attack this time was not just a test.
This is nitpicking in public!
Lin Anan did not stop and responded calmly: "I don't have a military uniform. I was pressed for time before coming here and didn't have time to prepare. And I think it doesn't matter what you wear. The key is to complete the mission well."
Bai Xiufang also chimed in, "That's right, Comrade Lin's translation skills are first-rate, and everyone has seen his achievements this morning. What he wears won't affect his work."
Hu Li snorted coldly, "The Northwest Military Region is the largest military region in China, why wouldn't they even give you a set of clothes?
Or... are you such a great person that you don't even need to wear a military uniform? You are so arrogant! Do you know what a military uniform means to us soldiers?"
