Meanwhile, the others mixed in with the troops took advantage of the chaos to uncover important deployment information, which was all relayed out by Liao Songbai.
The remaining three remained on the island.
This is why He Siying provided the list.
After this operation, Liao Songbai and He Siying will inevitably be exposed.
Providing a list to organizations hidden in the city facilitates later contact and operations.
The other party had not received the list, but the operation was imminent, so they continued.
Upon hearing the report, Xiao Dan couldn't help but admire the other party's meticulously planned scheme.
What I admire even more is Liao Songbai and his wife, who developed a network of contacts within the military in just six months after being transferred to the island.
What kind of temptation could make these heartless people abandon even the honor and disgrace of their country?
“The mountain is not suitable for bombing, firstly because it would disturb the villagers, and secondly because it could cause landslides. I arranged for other people to dig an exit from the cave.”
"If there are any remaining DT members in the city, send other people to investigate."
"Your team and Fang Ran have made great contributions this time. I will ask the military to award you, and Zhou Shi will be no exception."
“But her case is special, and I plan to award her in secret.”
"When you're out in the world, unless it's absolutely necessary, it's best to give the credit to you."
It's a good thing that the child is talented, but with her carefree mind that only cares about food and her looks, revealing her talents might not be a good thing.
"Yes, sir, I understand. She is my wife, and I have a duty to protect her."
Xiao Dan nodded, paused for a moment, and the corners of his mouth clearly turned up.
"Go back and rest. I'll arrange for people to handle the follow-up investigation and excavation."
"Your naughty kid is with me, your aunt is taking care of him, so you can get some rest and sleep peacefully."
"By the way, I've arranged a place for you. It's the second house in the row past my house."
"I've already sent someone to tidy up for you. If you don't have any special requests, we'll also arrange furniture and such. You can move in tonight if things go smoothly."
The island has enough space, and the family compound is quite large. Families of officers and above can accompany the military personnel.
At first, all the buildings were single-story cement houses, row upon row, facing each other.
The layout is the same for all of them: one main room and two bedrooms.
Both the main room and the bedrooms are spacious enough to accommodate families with many members, allowing them to be divided into multiple rooms.
To the left of the entrance is the bathroom, and to the right are the kitchen and storage room.
It has a front and back yard, which is very spacious. With a little effort, you can grow fruits and vegetables suitable for saline-alkali soil in the yard and be self-sufficient.
Each courtyard has a small well dug next to the bathroom, but most of them are alkaline wells, which can only be used for domestic purposes and not for drinking.
The entire residential compound has only one deep well with fresh water, located near the canteen.
To protect the freshwater from drying up, soldiers were specially assigned to take turns guarding it. Each person could only use half a bucket of water a day, and a household was counted as one bucket for two people, and so on.
Life on the island is tough, fresh water is scarce, and very few family members are willing to accompany the troops.
Therefore, arrangements will be made as long as family members are willing to accompany the military personnel.
Positions are always changing and personnel are being transferred, so there is no division of areas based on the size of the position; the rooms are assigned based on whoever is preferred.
The single-story house with a courtyard is actually quite nice, and it's spacious to live in. The only drawback at the beginning was the lack of a separate toilet.
As more and more military families joined the army, disputes arose due to hygiene issues with public toilets. The army then invested in building separate toilets in the backyards of each house.
Aside from the limited access to fresh water, their living conditions are many times better than those of many ordinary families.
Gradually, more and more family members were willing to accompany the military, and there was not enough housing, so the military spent money to build several four-story family buildings.
Each house has a basically the same layout, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a small kitchen. At the end of each floor is a public water room and toilet.
Of course, the water pumped up from the water room is also from the alkaline well. For drinking and cooking water, we still need to fetch water from the freshwater well near the canteen in portions.
The staff quarters are clean. Some people who had lived in the bungalows and courtyards for a long time wanted something new, so they applied to be transferred to the staff quarters, leaving a few rooms in the bungalows and courtyards empty.
Knowing that Xie Lin's wife was different from others, he didn't hesitate to ask the logistics department to arrange a small courtyard near his house for Xie Lin.
Xie Lin couldn't be home often, and distant water couldn't quench a nearby fire.
Being closer to his home means I can lend a hand if anything happens.
Having witnessed the girl's frightening behavior, he felt that his arrangement was very wise.
If she were assigned to the family dormitory, he was really afraid that she would climb the wall upstairs and jump off the railing downstairs.
The little rascal is more capable of turning the world upside down than anyone else, and he certainly doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Seeing Xie Lin's haggard appearance, fearing that he probably wouldn't get any sleep after picking up the person, she told him to go back and rest quickly.
After several days of train and ferry travel, and a whole night of work, Xie Lin was exhausted and accepted his kindness.
"Yes, sir."
Hearing the term "brat," you know that girl must have gotten into trouble.
That's true. If she could behave herself, she wouldn't be called Zhou Shi.
Sigh, I guess you'll have to keep an eye on him for now; he's really tired.
Just as he reached the door, Xiao Dan spoke again.
"Xie Lin, I have submitted your application for promotion to deputy regimental commander. There shouldn't be any major problems. With this achievement, your promotion is even more secure."
Eliminating treason elements within the military protects the unit's secrets and provides military supplies; a first-class merit is indispensable.
Xie Lin paused for a moment, but didn't ask any further questions. He saluted again and walked away.
The island garrison was originally a brigade consisting of three regiments.
Xiao Dan, who was a brigade commander at the time, worked diligently and conscientiously on the island for ten years after he was transferred there to reclaim wasteland.
It can be said that the island's current stability is entirely thanks to Xiao Dan.
