How to pronounce "怠慢"

[Silent Honor]

[Episode 6]

Mr. Gu.

Do you have any clever plans?

I wouldn't call it clever.

According to information,

when this banquet was being prepared,

his communication line was cut off.

He can't reach any of his Communist spy accomplices

outside the island,

which means

the contact who comes tonight

can't be on the invitation list.

They confessed everything.

They're from the Hong Kong station of the BIS.

From the BIS?

Then why were they following me?

The BIS received information

that Communist spies planned to sabotage the signing ceremony,

so they sent people from the Hong Kong station to investigate

and to secretly protect you.

So, you're saying

I wronged them?

They did make some mistakes in their work.

However, thanks to your vigilance,

it was a close call with no real danger.

Thank you for your hard work.

The Chief certainly chose the right person.

You flatter me.

My mission on this trip is to ensure your safety

and the security of the signing ceremony.

You may go.

What about those two BIS agents?

They were just doing their duty.

Since they're innocent,

let them go.

Yes, I understand.

Director Zhang is hedging his bets.

Now, not only the BIS,

but the Second Department is monitoring us, too.

Even if Manager Wan gets into the venue,

it will be difficult for him to make contact.

This is the floor plan of the ballroom.

We'll need people here,

here, here, here,

Here, as well.

We need our people at all these positions.

Mr. Li,

This could be the greatest achievement

since the establishment of the BIS.

I assume you have more personnel available?

Sir, the newspaper.

I've checked the list of all the staff

for tonight's reception.

There are 39 people in total.

More than ten of them

were replaced within the last three days.

They're probably agents arranged by Gu Zhengwen.

Other places will have people, too. There will definitely be a lot.

What about Gu Zhengwen himself?

Haven't seen him yet.

We've caught the crack in it.

The Second Department is no less capable than the BIS.

We'll soon get

something on Gu Zhengwen.

I wonder if Manager Wan

has seen the newspaper.

[The 7th China-U.S. Economic Aid Reception]

Ladies and gentlemen.

we are gathered here tonight

to enjoy peace and some fine wine,

and for that, we owe thanks to one man.

He is a distinguished military strategist

and my dear friend, General Wu Shi!

General Walker earlier emphasized

our gathering is for peace tonight.

I've come to Hong Kong on behalf of the National Army

to seek peace.

Let's raise a toast to China and America

for our friendship and peace.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Mr. Zha. Mr. Zha.

Good, good, good.

[Zha Jinglin, Chairman of Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce]

Mr. Zha, your presence is a privilege.

I am greatly honored.

Deputy Chief Wu,

I've long heard you are a scholarly military man.

Meeting you today,

I can see you truly have an extraordinary bearing.

I'm flattered.

Mr. Zha, please come in.

Hello, Mr. Zha.

Mr. Zha, let me push you to the front.

Captain Yu.

What?

You've changed careers and become a journalist in Hong Kong?

Adjutant Nie.

Our organisation

is carrying out a secret mission.

Wait.

Sir.

Excuse me, sir,

this glass has already been used.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Please don't disturb me.

Captain Yu.

You followed me wherever I went.

Who's disturbing whom here?

I didn't.

If you're so interested in me,

let's find a place to have a drink and chat.

You misunderstand. I really... I was just...

Wait…

Take care.

See you.

See you. Bye.

Leader, I heard from the on-duty driver

that Deputy Chief Wu's car schedule for tomorrow

has been completely canceled.

The driver who took him tonight

was arranged by the Second Department.

He said after the banquet, Deputy Chief Wu

went straight back to the ship.

He didn't go anywhere else.

Just as I suspected.

The intelligence has probably been sent out.

The ceremony for receiving military aid is also completed.

There's no legitimate reason to follow him anymore.

Take a look for me.

Are the glasses in these photos

the same one?

Don't all the wine glasses look the same?

Thanks.

You can go rest now.

Okay.

Mr. Zha, your presence is a privilege.

I am greatly honored.

Deputy Chief Wu,

I've long heard you are a scholarly military man.

Meeting you today,

I can see you truly have an extraordinary bearing.

I'm flattered.

It can't be.

He hasn't been out of my sight all night.

How did he pass the intelligence?

Wait.

Sir.

Excuse me, sir.

this glass has already been used.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Sir, have some tea.

Nie Xi, are you hungry?

You're hungry?

What's the most famous food in Hong Kong?

Cart noodles.

Are you sure?

I've heard they're famous

and delicious.

Alright.

Get changed. Let's go get some cart noodles.

Sure thing.

What do we do next?

Nothing.

Keep watching him tomorrow.

How may I help you?

[Department Store]

You can try it on.

Good.

I'll take it.

Please wrap it up. Thank you.

They're really trying hard.

Let's go.

Isn't this the paper burned by Xie Zhonghao?

Didn't Section 4 say it couldn't be restored?

This is the work of

the British MI6.

What? What Six?

MI6.

British Military Intelligence, Section 6.

When you told me about visiting Britain,

it was for this?

Deputy Chief Wu's

trip to Hong Kong—

officially,

he completed his mission and secured military aid;

privately,

he made contact with his accomplices

and delivered intelligence.

He certainly returned with quite a haul.

With this key,

we'll decipher Zhang Hao's messages sooner or later.

Is Deputy Chief Wu really a Communist spy?

Could there be a mistake?

Deputy Chief Wu

is actually one of the most skilled

among those Communist spies.

Guiyang: Cloudy,

18 to 25 degrees.

Interrupting with a news bulletin.

Kinmen's Guningtou

came under a sudden landing assault by Communist troops yesterday.

After fighting all night, the Nationalist soldiers

are now striving to hold their ground.

Kinmen's defense

is now taken over by Commander Hu Lian.

Where did things go wrong?

Director Tang Enbo will supervise the handover.

Sir.

[St. Paul's Hospital, Hong Kong]

Apart from slightly high blood pressure,

everything seems fine at the moment.

But

I recommend him to stay in the hospital for 24 more hours for observation

just in case.

Okay. Thank you, sir.

The doctor says it's nothing serious,

but he recommends 24-hour observation in the hospital.

Director Zhang,

why don't you head back first?

I'll stay with him.

How could I possibly leave?

I'll immediately launch level 2 security

and seal off the entire floor.

I'll also assign three officers here

to keep the Deputy Chief

under watch 24 hours a day.

No need to make such a fuss.

The Deputy Chief has high blood pressure.

He needs proper rest

and some peace and quiet.

It's my duty. I wouldn't dare be negligent.

It's not about being negligent.

I'm worried that reporters might blow things out of proportion.

Sir.

Never mind.

With official duties at hand,

I really couldn't stay long at the hospital.

You're really working hard work.

Bring aboard immediately

all the necessary medical equipment

missing from the ship.

Give me the case. You don't need to see me off.

Go back now.

Manager Wan said

I must see you pass through customs with my own eyes

before I can leave.

Let me carry your case for now.

Leader, it's fourth-class cabin!

When have we ever traveled in fourth class?

Didn't Mr. Li tell us

he was so powerful?

Do you think he's deliberately targeting us?

Excuse me, sir.

Sir.

Get her!

What are you doing?

Officer, wait a moment, please!

Officer.

Officer, I'm from the BIS.

I'm from the BIS.

What?

Look, my paper.

That woman—

I suspect she's a Communist,

so I need to search her belongings.

This is Hong Kong.

I know. I know this is Hong Kong,

but I am sure

you know

what I'm talking about, right?

Okay. Okay.

She is a young lady. Be gentle.

Of course.

Take her!

Done.

Thank you for your help, Dr. Li.

I'll stay with him.

I'll wait outside.

Call me if you need anything.

Sir, please rest well.

Well, this is great.

We're completely trapped on this ship.

You can't get off.

And Manager Wan can't come aboard.

Sir.

Please don't worry too much.

Although we're not sure

if the PLA received our intelligence,

clearly, the attack has been moved up.

The battle has just begun,

so everything is still uncertain.

Even with the reinforcements of Hu Lian's corps,

the PLA might still

have some chance of winning.

Amphibious assaults

are a brand-new challenge for the PLA.

In previous land battles, the National Army would

just retreat when losing.

They adopted the tactic of fleeing quickly,

so they always collapsed easily.

However, island warfare

is different.

The defending forces have no room for retreat.

They can only fight to the death.

Sir.

There's no use in worrying now.

Even if you could get past these agents from the Second Department

and meet Manager Wan,

what good solutions do we have

to help the PLA?

It's my fault.

The situation was urgent and time was limited,

so I only gave Manager Wan

the intelligence about Hu Lian's reinforcements.

I should have included

a battle strategy recommendation.

The PLA currently has no navy

or air force.

The enemy has an absolute advantage in manpower, military strength,

and geographical position.

Therefore, the PLA

must not launch an attack recklessly.

Even in the current situation,

they should still wait for

the reinforcements to land gradually.

Perhaps…

Perhaps there might be a chance of victory.

I want to see Manager Wan.

Alright, Sir.

Please take care of yourself.

Don't worry too much.

How about this?

After dark,

I'll find an excuse to go ashore

and see if there's a chance to meet Manager Wan.

I'll go tell him.

Okay.

I'll write a letter to Manager Wan.

Help me up.

Apart from

the battle strategy,

I need to tell him some

other things in my letter.

When you see him,

you must ask him

to send a new courier here as soon as possible.

At the opening ceremony of

the Taiwan Provincial Games,

Chairman Chen Cheng stated

that the tremendous changes in Taiwan

since its recovery 4 years ago are inseparable

from the wise leadership of our Father and the President.

That's why we must strengthen

our confidence in defending Taiwan and retaking the mainland.

Now, we continue with updates on the Kinmen battle.

Sir.

I couldn't make contact with him.

There were spies all around the pharmacy entrance.

There was nothing I could do.

Report!

Deputy Chief Wu,

the Chief called.

The President is very satisfied with the Kinmen battle situation

and is delighted.

To boost our national and military prestige,

he has instructed us to publicize it extensively.

Tomorrow, on the Taikang Warship,

a press conference will be held.

The Chief hopes you can make time to attend and make a speech.

[Yongchun]

Wan.

Why are you back?

De Ying was discovered.

I saw her jump into the sea with my own eyes.

I just found out too.

The authorities are searching for her body.

But the Hong Kong pier is a deep-water port.

Jumping from such a height...

I know she couldn't swim.

Which part exactly went wrong?

There was a problem with her documents.

They caught it when she was going through customs.

She was carrying contact information

of the Taiwan Work Committee

and the detailed home address

of the comrade impersonating her brother.

She jumped into the sea

to protect them.

How could there be a problem with her documents?

Wasn't she supposed to use

my special pass?

De Ying couldn't possibly enter Taiwan

in your name.

Much less stay at your adopted daughter's home.

So, based on your document,

we made a new one for her.

However,

to ensure Taiwan's so-called regularization,

Chen Cheng has used America's latest

anti-counterfeiting technology on every pass.

That's something we never anticipated.

Wan.

Let me go instead of De Ying.

Your assignment from the Party

is to return to Shanghai to build the New China.

Besides,

you haven't seen your husband or daughter

for several years.

I can't deprive you of the chance

to reunite with your family.

About sending someone to Taiwan,

I'll find another way.

But whoever goes now

can only use fake documents.

We can't let other comrades take this risk again.

I understand how you feel.

But Taiwan right now

is under severe White Terror.

You have no experience in underground intelligence work.

So, I can't send you to take such risks.

I know I'm not professional in this field,

but right now I'm the only one who has

a legal identity to enter Taiwan.

Please ask the Party to seriously consider my request.

To be honest,

I didn't expect you would come back today.

And I'm grateful

you're stepping forward at this moment.

I'll report your request to my superiors.

However,

I must solemnly remind you:

Taiwan today

is unlike any other place.

The intensity of the struggle there

far exceeds your imagination.

Whether you can adapt after going there

or whether you'll regret it,

I cannot guarantee.

If something goes wrong,

you might not be able to escape unharmed.

You should understand

what that means.

So, during this time,

please think it through carefully.

I will consider it carefully.

At this critical moment of the Kinmen battle,

I have been instructed by President Chiang

to hold this press conference

to inform the public about the latest military situation

in Kinmen.

About 9,000 Communist troops, 3 regiments in total,

launched an attack on our Kinmen Island

at around 2 a.m. on the 25th.

Our defending forces

fought back valiantly.

Besides,

with approximately 60,000 men in 22 regiments,

we hold an absolute advantage.

General Wu,

according to my information,

during the landing,

the Communist vessels

became stranded at low tide

due to being too close to the beach

and were all bombed by the National Army.

They currently have no ability to organize reinforcements

and thus face complete annihilation.

I'd like to ask how much longer

the landed Communist forces can hold out?

That's difficult to determine.

It depends on the fighting spirit of soldiers on both sides.

But I personally believe

our forces in Kinmen,

with overwhelming

land, sea, and air superiority,

are certain to win.

This concludes today's press conference.

All media representatives and journalists,

thank you!

General Wu!

About the current battlefield situation,

could you share some personal thoughts?

At this very moment,

on the Kinmen battlefield hundreds of sea miles away,

our soldiers

are fighting bravely for the future

of our country and people.

My heart is filled with respect for them.

I know,

whether they live or die,

their struggle

is meaningful!

So, here,

as a soldier,

I salute them.

On October 24, 1949,

Unit One of the PLA's 10th Corps

was ordered to launch the Kinmen campaign.

The advance forces of more than three regiments

landed on Kinmen beaches

and secured their positions.

Later, their landing vessels were destroyed;

reinforcements couldn't reach them;

and the enemy reinforcements arrived.

The landing units clashed with vastly superior enemy forces for days and nights

but were defeated when they ran out of ammunition and supplies.

We don't have much time.

It seems Manager Wan

has strong infiltration capabilities in Hong Kong.

Neither I nor Mr. Wu expected you to get on board.

This is thanks to Chiang's

being eager to boast about

his certain victory at Kinmen.

But

the information about the reinforcements at Kinmen

was delivered, wasn't it?

Why did the PLA still launch the attack?

I didn't expect the attack order to come early.

One hour before I sent the telegram,

the first batch, the 3 regiments, had already departed.

Just 1 hour late.

Yes.

It's such a pity.

This is the letter from Mr. Wu to you.

Originally, he hoped you would pass on

the content of this letter as intelligence

to the Party.

Unfortunately, it seems

a bit too late right now.

I understand.

There's other content in the letter

that requires your cooperation.

All right.

Most importantly,

Mr. Wu hopes the Party can quickly send

a courier as experienced

as Comrade Zhang Hao.

It's urgent.

Please rest assured.

Your connection with the Party

will be restored soon.

That's great.

Please give this

to the new courier.

The situation in Taiwan is very tense now.

To be safe, the person's identity can only be verified by this object.

Okay.

This is how to contact

the courier after arriving in Taiwan.

I'm leaving.

All right.

Also,

please tell the general

to take good care of himself.

Hope you'll all be safe in Taiwan.

Take care.

Honey.

Why are you waiting for me here?

I just like waiting for you here.

Where are the children?

It's too late. They've gone to sleep upstairs.

Don't move.

Let me sit here with you for a while.

You must be tired, right?

I'm okay.

How's your blood pressure?

It's been normal.

Thanks, Qian. Take care!

Good evening.

Good evening.

Mei.

I'm back.

Working overtime again?

Yes.

Wait a moment.

Look at this.

Isn't it pretty?

It's so expensive.

Things from Hong Kong are a bit pricey,

but

I think this dress would look great on you.

Try it on.

I heard it on the radio.

Heard what?

The victory at Kinmen.

When do you plan to counterattack the mainland?

Are you that eager for the mainland recovery?

Does holding Kinmen mean we can counterattack the mainland?

You actually believe what Chen Cheng says?

What I'm hoping for isn't the mainland recovery.

are still on the mainland.

When we left Fuzhou,

Shaocheng and Lancheng—

we didn't even get to see them.

In these chaotic times,

I don't know how they're doing on the mainland.

Give me your arm. I'll help you put it on.

I'm asking you a question!

When can we counterattack and return to Fuzhou?

Are you that eager for

the mainland recovery to succeed?

The Nationalist Government has turned

the whole country into such a mess.

Haven't you seen it?

What's the point of going back?

To continue harming the people of Fuzhou?

Would you dare say such things at Chieh Shou Hall?

I don't care at all

whether the counterattack would succeed.

I only care when

our children can be with us!

I don't think you even miss them.

I miss them very much.

Bikui.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely find a way

to make our family reunite as soon as possible.

What am I supposed to see here?

Deputy Chief Wu drinking with Americans?

Director, Mr. Wu is a clever man.

His entire Hong Kong trip

was absolutely flawless,

but I didn't go to Hong Kong in vain.

Through my contacts at MI6,

I've managed to recover

the two sets of keys obtained from Xie Zhonghao.

They've already been sent to Section 4.

Decoding the messages sent by Zhang Hao's team

will happen very soon.

How long can we see the decrypted messages?

We need to go through

all messages sent from Taiwan

in the past two and a half months.

The workload is indeed enormous.

Director Yang also said he found it a bit difficult.

You believe that old fox?

Get me Director Yang at Section 4.

Assign some people to focus on the leads

Mr. Gu brought back from Hong Kong,

I want to see the results as soon as possible.

Yes, that's an order.

Thank you for your support, Director.

Director.

Do you also suspect Deputy Chief Wu?

Suspicion

is an instinct in our line of work.

The Hong Kong trip didn't go smoothly, did it?

I think you should pay attention to things happened

at the Second Department and the Hong Kong station.

It's not that we can't investigate Deputy Chief Wu.

It's that his rank is too high

and he was personally appointed by the President.

To investigate him,

you must be both bold and meticulous,

so as not to give others ammunition against you.

Yes, I will follow your example, Director.

I'll strive to…

Alright, alright, stop flattering me.

I only ask one thing of you:

don't cause me trouble.

I'll just butter you up.

Get out of here.

Director, I'm off to investigate the case.

[Silent Honor]

Where did things go wrong?

Director Tang Enbo will supervise the handover.

Sir.

[St. Paul's Hospital, Hong Kong]

Apart from slightly high blood pressure,

everything seems fine at the moment.

But

I recommend him to stay in the hospital for 24 more hours for observation

just in case.

Okay. Thank you, sir.

The doctor says it's nothing serious,

but he recommends 24-hour observation in the hospital.

Director Zhang,

why don't you head back first?

I'll stay with him.

How could I possibly leave?

I'll immediately launch level 2 security

and seal off the entire floor.

I'll also assign three officers here

to keep the Deputy Chief

under watch 24 hours a day.

No need to make such a fuss.

The Deputy Chief has high blood pressure.

He needs proper rest

and some peace and quiet.

It's my duty. I wouldn't dare be negligent.

It's not about being negligent.

I'm worried that reporters might blow things out of proportion.

Sir.

Never mind.

With official duties at hand,

I really couldn't stay long at the hospital.

You're really working hard work.

Bring aboard immediately

all the necessary medical equipment

missing from the ship.

Give me the case. You don't need to see me off.

Go back now.

Manager Wan said

I must see you pass through customs with my own eyes

before I can leave.

Let me carry your case for now.

Leader, it's fourth-class cabin!

When have we ever traveled in fourth class?

Didn't Mr. Li tell us

he was so powerful?

Do you think he's deliberately targeting us?

Excuse me, sir.

Sir.

Get her!

What are you doing?

Officer, wait a moment, please!

Officer.

Officer, I'm from the BIS.

I'm from the BIS.

What?

Look, my paper.

That woman—

I suspect she's a Communist,

so I need to search her belongings.

This is Hong Kong.

I know. I know this is Hong Kong,

but I am sure

you know

what I'm talking about, right?

Okay. Okay.

She is a young lady. Be gentle.

Of course.

Take her!

Done.

Thank you for your help, Dr. Li.

I'll stay with him.

I'll wait outside.

Call me if you need anything.

Sir, please rest well.

Well, this is great.

We're completely trapped on this ship.

You can't get off.

And Manager Wan can't come aboard.

Sir.

Please don't worry too much.

Although we're not sure

if the PLA received our intelligence,

clearly, the attack has been moved up.

The battle has just begun,

so everything is still uncertain.

Even with the reinforcements of Hu Lian's corps,

the PLA might still

have some chance of winning.

Amphibious assaults

are a brand-new challenge for the PLA.

In previous land battles, the National Army would

just retreat when losing.

They adopted the tactic of fleeing quickly,

so they always collapsed easily.

However, island warfare

is different.

The defending forces have no room for retreat.

They can only fight to the death.

Sir.

There's no use in worrying now.

Even if you could get past these agents from the Second Department

and meet Manager Wan,

what good solutions do we have

to help the PLA?

It's my fault.

The situation was urgent and time was limited,

so I only gave Manager Wan

the intelligence about Hu Lian's reinforcements.

I should have included

a battle strategy recommendation.

The PLA currently has no navy

or air force.

The enemy has an absolute advantage in manpower, military strength,

and geographical position.

Therefore, the PLA

must not launch an attack recklessly.

Even in the current situation,

they should still wait for

the reinforcements to land gradually.

Perhaps…

Perhaps there might be a chance of victory.

I want to see Manager Wan.

Alright, Sir.

Please take care of yourself.

Don't worry too much.

How about this?

After dark,

I'll find an excuse to go ashore

and see if there's a chance to meet Manager Wan.

I'll go tell him.

Okay.

I'll write a letter to Manager Wan.

Help me up.

Apart from

the battle strategy,

I need to tell him some

other things in my letter.

When you see him,

you must ask him

to send a new courier here as soon as possible.

At the opening ceremony of

the Taiwan Provincial Games,

Chairman Chen Cheng stated

that the tremendous changes in Taiwan

since its recovery 4 years ago are inseparable

from the wise leadership of our Father and the President.

That's why we must strengthen

our confidence in defending Taiwan and retaking the mainland.

Now, we continue with updates on the Kinmen battle.

Sir.

I couldn't make contact with him.

There were spies all around the pharmacy entrance.

There was nothing I could do.

Report!

Deputy Chief Wu,

the Chief called.

The President is very satisfied with the Kinmen battle situation

and is delighted.

To boost our national and military prestige,

he has instructed us to publicize it extensively.

Tomorrow, on the Taikang Warship,

a press conference will be held.

The Chief hopes you can make time to attend and make a speech.

[Yongchun]

Wan.

Why are you back?

De Ying was discovered.

I saw her jump into the sea with my own eyes.

I just found out too.

The authorities are searching for her body.

But the Hong Kong pier is a deep-water port.

Jumping from such a height...

I know she couldn't swim.

Which part exactly went wrong?

There was a problem with her documents.

They caught it when she was going through customs.

She was carrying contact information

of the Taiwan Work Committee

and the detailed home address

of the comrade impersonating her brother.

She jumped into the sea

to protect them.

How could there be a problem with her documents?

Wasn't she supposed to use

my special pass?

De Ying couldn't possibly enter Taiwan

in your name.

Much less stay at your adopted daughter's home.

So, based on your document,

we made a new one for her.

However,

to ensure Taiwan's so-called regularization,

Chen Cheng has used America's latest

anti-counterfeiting technology on every pass.

That's something we never anticipated.

Wan.

Let me go instead of De Ying.

Your assignment from the Party

is to return to Shanghai to build the New China.

Besides,

you haven't seen your husband or daughter

for several years.

I can't deprive you of the chance

to reunite with your family.

About sending someone to Taiwan,

I'll find another way.

But whoever goes now

can only use fake documents.

We can't let other comrades take this risk again.

I understand how you feel.

But Taiwan right now

is under severe White Terror.

You have no experience in underground intelligence work.

So, I can't send you to take such risks.

I know I'm not professional in this field,

but right now I'm the only one who has

a legal identity to enter Taiwan.

Please ask the Party to seriously consider my request.

To be honest,

I didn't expect you would come back today.

And I'm grateful

you're stepping forward at this moment.

I'll report your request to my superiors.

However,

I must solemnly remind you:

Taiwan today

is unlike any other place.

The intensity of the struggle there

far exceeds your imagination.

Whether you can adapt after going there

or whether you'll regret it,

I cannot guarantee.

If something goes wrong,

you might not be able to escape unharmed.

You should understand

what that means.

So, during this time,

please think it through carefully.

I will consider it carefully.

At this critical moment of the Kinmen battle,

I have been instructed by President Chiang

to hold this press conference

to inform the public about the latest military situation

in Kinmen.

About 9,000 Communist troops, 3 regiments in total,

launched an attack on our Kinmen Island

at around 2 a.m. on the 25th.

Our defending forces

fought back valiantly.

Besides,

with approximately 60,000 men in 22 regiments,

we hold an absolute advantage.

General Wu,

according to my information,

during the landing,

the Communist vessels

became stranded at low tide

due to being too close to the beach

and were all bombed by the National Army.

They currently have no ability to organize reinforcements

and thus face complete annihilation.

I'd like to ask how much longer

the landed Communist forces can hold out?

That's difficult to determine.

It depends on the fighting spirit of soldiers on both sides.

But I personally believe

our forces in Kinmen,

with overwhelming

land, sea, and air superiority,

are certain to win.

This concludes today's press conference.

All media representatives and journalists,

thank you!

General Wu!

About the current battlefield situation,

could you share some personal thoughts?

At this very moment,

on the Kinmen battlefield hundreds of sea miles away,

our soldiers

are fighting bravely for the future

of our country and people.

My heart is filled with respect for them.

I know,

whether they live or die,

their struggle

is meaningful!

So, here,

as a soldier,

I salute them.

On October 24, 1949,

Unit One of the PLA's 10th Corps

was ordered to launch the Kinmen campaign.

The advance forces of more than three regiments

landed on Kinmen beaches

and secured their positions.

Later, their landing vessels were destroyed;

reinforcements couldn't reach them;

and the enemy reinforcements arrived.

The landing units clashed with vastly superior enemy forces for days and nights

but were defeated when they ran out of ammunition and supplies.

We don't have much time.

It seems Manager Wan

has strong infiltration capabilities in Hong Kong.

Neither I nor Mr. Wu expected you to get on board.

This is thanks to Chiang's

being eager to boast about

his certain victory at Kinmen.

But

the information about the reinforcements at Kinmen

was delivered, wasn't it?

Why did the PLA still launch the attack?

I didn't expect the attack order to come early.

One hour before I sent the telegram,

the first batch, the 3 regiments, had already departed.

Just 1 hour late.

Yes.

It's such a pity.

This is the letter from Mr. Wu to you.

Originally, he hoped you would pass on

the content of this letter as intelligence

to the Party.

Unfortunately, it seems

a bit too late right now.

I understand.

There's other content in the letter

that requires your cooperation.

All right.

Most importantly,

Mr. Wu hopes the Party can quickly send

a courier as experienced

as Comrade Zhang Hao.

It's urgent.

Please rest assured.

Your connection with the Party

will be restored soon.

That's great.

Please give this

to the new courier.

The situation in Taiwan is very tense now.

To be safe, the person's identity can only be verified by this object.

Okay.

This is how to contact

the courier after arriving in Taiwan.

I'm leaving.

All right.

Also,

please tell the general

to take good care of himself.

Hope you'll all be safe in Taiwan.

Take care.

Honey.

Why are you waiting for me here?

I just like waiting for you here.

Where are the children?

It's too late. They've gone to sleep upstairs.

Don't move.

Let me sit here with you for a while.

You must be tired, right?

I'm okay.

How's your blood pressure?

It's been normal.

Thanks, Qian. Take care!

Good evening.

Good evening.

Mei.

I'm back.

Working overtime again?

Yes.

Wait a moment.

Look at this.

Isn't it pretty?

It's so expensive.

Things from Hong Kong are a bit pricey,

but

I think this dress would look great on you.

Try it on.

I heard it on the radio.

Heard what?

The victory at Kinmen.

When do you plan to counterattack the mainland?

Are you that eager for the mainland recovery?

Does holding Kinmen mean we can counterattack the mainland?

You actually believe what Chen Cheng says?

What I'm hoping for isn't the mainland recovery.

are still on the mainland.

When we left Fuzhou,

Shaocheng and Lancheng—

we didn't even get to see them.

In these chaotic times,

I don't know how they're doing on the mainland.

Give me your arm. I'll help you put it on.

I'm asking you a question!

When can we counterattack and return to Fuzhou?

Are you that eager for

the mainland recovery to succeed?

The Nationalist Government has turned

the whole country into such a mess.

Haven't you seen it?

What's the point of going back?

To continue harming the people of Fuzhou?

Would you dare say such things at Chieh Shou Hall?

I don't care at all

whether the counterattack would succeed.

I only care when

our children can be with us!

I don't think you even miss them.

I miss them very much.

Bikui.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely find a way

to make our family reunite as soon as possible.

I specially sent a plane

and asked Li Yunshan to assist you.

And all you brought back is this junk?

What am I supposed to see here?

Deputy Chief Wu drinking with Americans?

Director, Mr. Wu is a clever man.

His entire Hong Kong trip

was absolutely flawless,

but I didn't go to Hong Kong in vain.

Through my contacts at MI6,

I've managed to recover

the two sets of keys obtained from Xie Zhonghao.

They've already been sent to Section 4.

Decoding the messages sent by Zhang Hao's team

will happen very soon.

How long can we see the decrypted messages?

We need to go through

all messages sent from Taiwan

in the past two and a half months.

The workload is indeed enormous.

Director Yang also said he found it a bit difficult.

You believe that old fox?

Get me Director Yang at Section 4.

Assign some people to focus on the leads

Mr. Gu brought back from Hong Kong,

I want to see the results as soon as possible.

Yes, that's an order.

Thank you for your support, Director.

Director.

Do you also suspect Deputy Chief Wu?

Suspicion

is an instinct in our line of work.

The Hong Kong trip didn't go smoothly, did it?

I think you should pay attention to things happened

at the Second Department and the Hong Kong station.

It's not that we can't investigate Deputy Chief Wu.

It's that his rank is too high

and he was personally appointed by the President.

To investigate him,

you must be both bold and meticulous,

so as not to give others ammunition against you.

Yes, I will follow your example, Director.

I'll strive to…

Alright, alright, stop flattering me.

I only ask one thing of you:

don't cause me trouble.

I'll just butter you up.

Get out of here.

Director, I'm off to investigate the case.
