The secret war is silent

When the two returned to the mansion, it was already dark.

In the yard, Luo Yao saw Shen Yu's car. In fact, this car did not belong to him, but was assigned to him by the bureau.

Atari/Osborn had been clamoring to get him a car so that he could travel more conveniently, but Luo Yao ignored them because they were engaged in secret work.

The more ostentatious you are, the more attention you will attract.

Who can guarantee that there will be no Japanese espionage activities near the mansion. If Osborne is targeted, Osborne is a foreigner and is more likely to be noticed.

But Americans have long legs on him, so he can't put people under house arrest in the mansion, and can only try to regulate their outings.

You two are finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Shen Yu came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and saw Luo Yao and Gong Hui coming in carrying large and small bags of things.

Brother Shen, why are you here?

I haven't been in the mountain city for a long time. I don't know many people. I'm alone. There's no point in staying alone in the dormitory. Why don't I come to you?

Didn't the bureau headquarters prepare a New Year's Eve dinner and a grand party tonight? Luo Yao chuckled.

It's boring. There are too many people and it's too noisy. It's not as good as your place. Although there aren't many people, it's still lively, and it's comfortable to be with familiar people.

Old Cao, what's going on? Are you asking Section Chief Shen to cook for us?

It has nothing to do with Captain Cao. It's my own choice. It's a custom in the mountain city to eat glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve. Shen Yu explained.

Eating glutinous rice balls, I only heard that glutinous rice balls are eaten on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and glutinous rice balls are also eaten on the eve of the New Year's Eve? Luo Yao really doesn't know the customs of the mountain city during the New Year.

In terms of food and drink, Cao Hui is the one who makes the decision. At most, he takes care of Osborne's taste. As for others, it's not that important, as long as it's not too bad.

Of course, the chefs the mansion has found are of good quality. There is Lao Cai, who is good at cooking Western food, and there is also a Sichuan cook who can cook pretty well.

You don't understand this. Northerners still make dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Shen Yu chuckled, Gong Hui, are you from the north?

Well, my ancestral home is from the Northeast.

We also have several northerners here, and we made dumplings at night. Shen Yu said.

real?

Of course. If you have nothing to do, come with us to make dumplings. Shen Yu greeted.

good.

Gong Hui went happily and threw all the things she bought to Luo Yao.

Luo Yao smiled helplessly and carried the big and small bags upstairs. He didn't know what Gong Hui had bought, so he could only put them in his room first.

In the mansion, except for those on guard and patrol, everyone else basically helped in the kitchen. It can be said that everyone participated in this New Year's Eve dinner.

Even Osborne was very interested and said he would cook a dish for everyone himself.

Of course, there are also those who are not gregarious, such as Tian Shoushan who has just arrived at the mansion. Due to his identity, it is difficult for him to overcome the psychological barrier and integrate into Chinese life.

And Wen Xueren, his greatest pleasure was copying secret messages.

In the telecommunications office, there were many rules, and he could only do what he liked under the rules, but here, Luo Yao gave him full freedom.

He can hear what he wants to hear.

The interception work of secret power is usually done at night. During the day, because the sunspot activity is more intense, the radio interference is relatively large. If it is a long-distance communication, it is usually carried out at night, so that the signal attenuation is small and it is not easy to occur. error.

Therefore, Wen Xueren is in the radio room at the moment, playing with the transceivers.

How are they? How are these machines? Luo Yao knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing Wen Xueren, who was sweating profusely and debugging the equipment, asked.

It's okay, but the equipment is a bit old. As long as some components are replaced, it can be used. Wen Xueren said, It's just that the sensitivity of these equipment to capture signals is a little worse, much worse than the ones used by the Telecommunications Department. .”

There is no way. These are only allocated for our training and teaching. Naturally, they cannot be the latest equipment. Even if new equipment is ordered, it will take time to be shipped by the manufacturer and delivered. Luo Yao explained that domestic equipment Radio factories can produce equipment such as transceivers, but key components cannot be manufactured domestically, and radio detection equipment must be imported from abroad.

These are not just available. You have to spend money to import them. Once you buy them, they may not be shipped immediately, and it takes time.

There's no rush.

Well, so I want to use these old guys first to see if I can intercept some useful information. Wen Xueren said.

Has the Telecommunications Department ever intercepted any confidential messages from Japan?

The Telecommunications Office copies a lot of messages every day. Apart from the registered radio stations, the remaining 80% are messy signals. Most of them have little value, and it is impossible to judge whether they are Japanese secret communications. It is difficult to decipher them. In this regard, as far as I know, there has been little progress. Wen Xueren said, after all, he was the backbone of the telecommunications office in the past, and he had heard about some things.

Deciphering this secret code requires finding the direction. If you find the wrong direction, you will be like a headless fly. You can't find a way to fly out. Luo Yao said, Let's start with the most basic ones. Don't rush. More haste less speed.

Wen Xueren nodded.

Today is New Year's Eve. Stop doing this. Go back and take a shower. We will all have New Year's Eve dinner together later. Luo Yao ordered.

Okay, I'll clean up here and go.

…

I miss home. The door of Tian Shoushan's room was ajar. When Luo Yao walked in, he didn't notice it. He sat at the table under the lamp and looked at the photos of his wife and children, crying silently.

Sir Luo. Tian Shoushan was so frightened that he quickly turned over the photo, pressed it under his hand, stood up, and said with some fear.

I've seen it all. It's human nature to miss your loved ones even more during the holidays, and there's nothing to avoid.

Sir Luo, can I write a letter to my wife?

You can write, or I can help you send it back through other channels, but this means that your secret of 'suspended death' has been exposed, and you will be labeled a shameful traitor, and your wife and children will even be raped because of this. If you don't start, you have to think clearly about the consequences. Luo Yaodao.

The Kappa case has been solved, and the secret of Yoshida Toushan's survival is no longer that important. Even if the military commander is willing to directly announce it, it will be a heavy blow to the Japanese military intelligence department in terms of public opinion.

But this is not possible. It may seem satisfying for a while, but if Japanese spies are caught later, no one will be willing to cooperate.

You must know how difficult it is to catch a Japanese spy and convert him to serve one's own side. Because of this, Dai Yunong, the military commander, has received face-to-face praise from the old man.

Sir Luo, I...

Old Tian, ​​just be patient. When the war is over, you can go back to Japan to reunite with them, or you can bring them to China.

When will the war end?

Don't worry, you and I will eventually see the day. Luo Yao said with a smile, Regardless of your military victories, in fact the war potential of your army is basically this, and the international situation will change. At that time, there will be a fundamental reversal in the power of China and Japan, and the only way Japan can go is failure and surrender.

Sir Luo, is this your prediction about this war? Tian Shoushan looked at Luo Yao with wide eyes in surprise. He didn't believe these words at all, and even thought it was a fantasy.

You can regard this as my prediction about this war, because it will definitely come true. Luo Yao said very solemnly.

Sir Luo, if this day comes, I won't be able to return to Japan. I want to stay in China and bring my wife and children to live in China. Tian Shoushan said.

Okay, then it's settled. Luo Yao chuckled.

In Tian Shoushan's eyes, this agreement may never be fulfilled. He never thought of staying in China for the rest of his life, it was just a joke.

Of course, Luo Yao didn't take it seriously.

Let's go and help in the cafeteria. Today is New Year's Eve. You Japanese people are probably not as good as our Chinese Spring Festival. Go and experience it. Luo Yao said, From now on, you have to do as the locals do.

Tian Shoushan nodded, silently put away the photos, and went downstairs with Luo Yao.

…

Jiangcheng, Kuimulang called, saying that Han Liangze has become the director of the Jingbei Provincial Police Department, and also the director of the Jiangcheng Police Headquarters. When they came to the cafeteria, Gong Hui, whose hands were full of flour and making dumplings, came over and said, He leaned into Luo Yao's ear and whispered.

Oh, then who is the director of Xiakou Police Station now? Luo Yao asked in surprise.

Director Chen Xi, but Dong Cheng has the final say at the Xiakou Police Station now. Dong Cheng made an unusual promotion and is now the deputy director of the Xiakou Police Headquarters, Gong Hui said.

Where are the nails?

The Special Investigation Section is headed by Japanese people. Nail now has Sugita's trust. We provided intelligence for several operations in Tang District.

You have to let Old Tang fail a few times, otherwise the Japanese will become suspicious. Luo Yao reminded.

Well, I understand, I will remind Kui Mulang.

Did you tell him in the telegram about our stay in the mountain city? Luo Yao asked.

Without your instructions, how dare I reveal the information to them at will?

Well, don't tell them about the situation here. When I go back, I will explain it to them personally. Luo Yao said, Our secret code needs to be upgraded and replaced. In the future, it must be replaced regularly to ensure that our communications are not intercepted and intercepted by the enemy. decipher.”

Yes, I understand.

What are you two muttering about? Come wash your hands and get ready to eat! Shen Yu saw Luo Yao and Gong Hui biting their ears at the door and called out.

Just come.

Let's go, we'll talk about it later. The world is huge now, and eating is the most important thing! Luo Yao pulled Gong Hui over and walked into the cafeteria.

Luo Group, today is New Year's Eve, a day of reunion. How about you say a few words? Cao Hui, as the convener of tonight's reunion dinner, took the lead in making the request.

Old Cao, it's just a New Year's Eve dinner, there's no need for that. Just have fun eating and drinking! Luo Yao said.

No, you have to say a few words. This New Year's blessing should be there. Cao Hui had no intention of letting Luo Yao go. This was obviously a decision that everyone had been discussing, otherwise he would not have the courage.

Okay, since it's everyone's request, let me say a few words before eating... Luo Yao took a deep breath and organized the words in his mind.
