The secret war is silent

In the evening, in the small auditorium of Danzishi training class.

Luo Yao hosted a private banquet for the five-member British intelligence and technical team who came to the mountain city. On the Chinese side, except Luo Yao, Gong Hui and others.

Luo Yao also handed over Huo Tian and Fang Yannong. One of them was in charge of research and translation, and the other was in charge of radio listening. They had high status and seniority in the military technical room, so it was perfect for them to accompany the guests.

Then there are the students in the training class, a few who are better at English, smart, and good at communication are selected.

There can't be too few people, otherwise it won't be so lively.

There were about twenty people in total, divided into two tables. Luo Yao, Zhang Liang, Fang Yannong, Huo Tian and Yan Feng accompanied Lieutenant Colonel Greville, Lord Gordon and two assistants to one table.

There are nine people in total.

The other table consisted of Gong Hui, Li Zhifeng, Hu Xiaoling, and translator Qin Pu of Group 6, plus two female students with good English who accompanied Major Catherine, translator Zhang Dai, and two other people from the intelligence team.

There were exactly ten people at this table.

The chefs and helpers of the five-person intelligence team and the guards responsible for security did not attend. It was not that Luo Yao did not invite, but that they did not come.

They have their own considerations on this, and as the master, they can't force it.

Come on, come on, let's raise a glass, and once again welcome everyone to Shancheng and Danzishi. Starting today, for the next three months, we will all live and work together. I hope everyone can become friends!

Luo Yao picked up the wine glass and said, Today I treat you all to drink our fine wine from China. You may not be used to it at first, but after drinking it, I guarantee you will fall in love with it.

cheers!

I would like to remind you, drink this wine slowly and don't be in a hurry...

Despite the reminder, some people were still a little impatient after drinking. Lord Gordon's assistant George was just too impatient. Although Luo Yao specially asked someone to change to a smaller cup, the spiciness of Chinese liquor was really a bit overwhelming for foreigners who drank it for the first time. not used to.

George drank it in one gulp. It felt sweet at first, but when it slid down his throat, the taste came up. It was so spicy that he almost shed tears.

Greville was mentally prepared. He seemed to know the power of Chinese liquor. He took a sip and got used to it before drinking it in one gulp. However, his face was still slightly red because of the choking.

However, after Lord Gordon drank it, his expression did not change. It was obvious that this old guy had a good capacity for drinking and had even drank high-strength liquor.

Luo Yao gave everyone chopsticks. This was not to make things difficult, just do as the Romans do.

Come on, let's start. As the host, Luo Yao picked up the chopsticks, said hello, and began to prepare to introduce the dishes on the table. Seeing the funny looks of Greville and others picking up the chopsticks one by one, it was obvious that they None of them have learned to use chopsticks, or they have heard of them but never used them.

Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, let me teach you. Luo Yao put down his chopsticks and taught Coreville how to use chopsticks in English.

Crevel was very surprised. He thought Luo Yao didn't know English, so he brought a translator with him, but he didn't expect that he could actually speak English.

In fact, it is not difficult for adults to learn to use chopsticks. It may not be so smooth at first, but after practicing a few times, it will be fine.

Of course, for the sake of eating delicious food, the potential for human beings to explode is often incredible.

Huaiyang cuisine is the most exquisite cuisine. It is also the most moderate in taste among the eight major cuisines in China and is suitable for everyone's taste.

The workmanship is exquisite, the saltiness is right, the meat and vegetables are mixed, the food is nutritious and healthy, and it is also very ornamental. This is why it will become the main dish of state banquets in later generations.

The atmosphere was warm and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

General Luo, this is the best dinner I have ever had in China. Thank you for your hospitality! Greville toasted to Luo Yao gratefully.

Although Berry instilled a lot of bad things about Luo Yao into him, he did not completely believe the words of a playboy.

He has to see it with his own eyes and hear it before he can make his own judgment.

In Berry's eyes, Luo Yao was very arrogant, mean, and not at all aristocratic. In Greville's eyes, he was a hospitable, easy-going, and very gentlemanly gentleman.

This guy must have offended others, so they were not polite to him. After all, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he will not be nice to someone who has offended him.

Neither will he.

Mr. Greville, you're welcome. China has always been a country of etiquette. When friends come, we should naturally treat them well. Luo Yao chuckled.

It's the same with us in England.

This is my fiancée. Her name is Gong Hui. She works with me! Luo Yao introduced Gong Hui to Greville.

Oh, beautiful lady, nice to meet you. Greville said with a surprised expression.

Thank you for your compliment, Lieutenant Colonel Greville. Gong Hui smiled faintly and reached out to shake Greville's hand.

Luo Yao successively introduced Gong Hui to Lord Gordon and his two assistants.

The entire dinner party can almost end at this moment.

Mr. Greville, you have worked hard all the way and it's time for you to rest. It's time for us to go back. I wish you a good night and have a sweet dream.

Thank you General Luo for your hospitality. I hope our friendship will continue from today until the day we leave the mountain city. Greville said.

No, it should be the day when your life and mine end! Luo Yao corrected.

Yes, General Luo is right. Three months of friendship is too short. Greville said hurriedly, If General Luo has the opportunity to come to London in the future, I will definitely treat you to a good restaurant in London and eat our authentic English cuisine. .”

Okay, I will definitely go if I have the chance.

Authentic English food?

Did the Anglo-Saxons, who only drank hair and drank blood hundreds of years ago, have delicious food?

…

Lieutenant Colonel Greville, did you have a good chat with General Luo tonight? Back at the residence, three of the five-person intelligence team had a meeting behind closed doors.

Tomorrow will officially enter the cooperation stage. Although the plan has been discussed along the way, in the face of reality, adjustments are still needed.

Tonight's banquet also surprised them.

Yes, General Luo is a very talkative person. His English is very good, even better than a professional translator. Greville praised.

You must not be deceived by his friendly appearance. Catherine said, I heard from Berry that General Luo, who is responsible for cooperating with us, has another identity. He is an agent of the military commander.

He's an agent?

And he is a super agent who hates the Japanese agents extremely and wants to get rid of him quickly. Catherine said.

Really, he looks very young, how can he be so powerful? Greville was surprised.

Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, we must be extra careful when dealing with people like this. Catherine said, Why did it take so long for this intelligence sharing negotiation to come to a conclusion? This person is leading the negotiations behind the scenes. He is a very powerful person. A determined negotiator, Berry is no match for him.

He is indeed a powerful man, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you have to be careful. Lord Gordon, who was holding a pipe, suddenly said.

We are here to cooperate. As long as we can achieve our goals, what do other things have to do with us? Greville shrugged.

I'm afraid the cooperation won't go so smoothly.

What's the meaning?

I'm worried that they won't easily teach us the techniques and experience in deciphering Japanese secret codes, Catherine said.

In other words, they have nothing to teach us at all. After all, we have been able to crack the German Engeni cipher machine and create a 'bomb', but the Chinese are afraid that they don't even have the principles of the Engeni cipher machine. Let’s figure it out.” Lord Gordon said very confidently.

Then why are we paying such a high price for a trip? Greville asked displeased.

Maybe the intelligence from above is wrong, that's why we got here. Lord Gordon said after taking two puffs on his pipe.

Anyway, we are here, even if we are here for vacation, we have to stay here for three months. Greville said.

This time we brought the latest Engeni cipher machine. It was originally supposed to be handed over to them in the agreement, but I feel that if they fail to give us enough, this cipher machine does not have to be handed over to them. . Catherine said.

Isn't this bad? After all, we signed an agreement?

We didn't say we wouldn't give it. At worst, we'll just give it to you when we leave. Catherine said, I want to go to the military command bureau tomorrow instead of going to the military technical room with you.

After saying that, Catherine went back to rest.

Catherine is an espionage expert, so she would not attend tomorrow's formal cooperation meeting. This is too much.

But Greville had no choice. The opponent was a major of the Royal Air Force. He was only an intelligence officer and could not command the opponent.

…

Sitting in the car on the way back to Huangjiaoya.

Xiao Hui, how do you feel? Luo Yao drank a lot tonight. Of course, he was still sober at the moment.

The female air force major named Catherine is very arrogant, with eyes on her forehead. As for Zhang Dai, although she is eloquent and can liven up the atmosphere, she still feels that she has a superior attitude and is a little bit mixed. If you lose blood, you will no longer recognize your ancestors. Gong Hui said.

This is a bit harsh. They have immigrated a long time ago, and their lifestyles and thinking habits are different from ours.

Isn't it just the mentality of a foreign slave? Why don't you always tell me!

Okay, Lieutenant Colonel Coreville is a nice guy and relatively simple. Lord Gordon is also a person who is not very good at words, so they are both easier to deal with.

So, you arranged for them to sit apart?

Yes, the opponents have different opinions. This is our opportunity. Luo Yao said.

What are the arrangements for tomorrow?

Give them what they want to see to show our sincerity, but if we want to get what they want, we have to exchange it for what we want. It's finally delivered to our door. Can I let them leave easily? Luo Yao chuckled. .
