The secret war is silent

Lao Wu holds a feather duster in his hand and is sorting the goods on the shelves and dusting off the dust on the counter. This is what he must do every day.

The store is newly opened.

Some goods are not complete yet.

Grocery stores, as the name suggests, are things that people use daily, such as needles, thread, tobacco, alcohol, etc., as well as various small daily necessities.

Of course, they also sell some porcelain and pottery such as dishes.

As for the business, a newly opened store will naturally not be as good as the old stores on the street, but the prices will be fair, and as it slowly gains popularity, it will naturally get better.

Looking at the slightly clumsy back, Luo Yao felt a sore nose. He finally saw someone from his home. In the spy nest of Juntong, sometimes, although he was surrounded by friends, he still felt lonely, especially in his heart. The emptiness above.

Sometimes you do things against your will. After all, military rule is a place where kindness cannot be tolerated. You can only survive if you harden your heart.

In just one month, it takes a lot of perseverance to gain 20 pounds of weight. It is just to change the image of the past, and it will even be difficult to change it in the future.

Boss, do you have Laodao cigarettes? Luo Yao put up his bicycle, walked into the store, approached the counter, and asked.

Lao Wu, who was waving the feather duster, obviously had his shoulders shaking. He turned around, wearing a pair of black-rimmed round glasses, showing a hint of shrewdness, and smiled: Laodao brand cigarettes are in short supply. I have them in this store. Those high-end goods, sir, if you don't mind, my Double Happiness and Eight Hundred Heroes' ones are all produced by the local cigarette factory in Shancheng.

Luo Yao nodded. Nowadays, cigarettes on the market in Shancheng are basically local products. The Japanese government has implemented a material blockade. Cigarette smuggling is very profitable. Generally, famous cigarettes must be smoked by rich dignitaries. rise.

Ordinary people can only smoke local brands. In fact, these local brands are also made by factories established by big manufacturers in mountain cities in the past.

If you weren't an old smoker, you wouldn't be able to smell that smell.

The whole country is in trouble right now. Luo Yao used to smoke Hademen and sometimes Laodao, but when he arrived in the mountain city, life was not so easy.

Of course, if he wants to smoke some cigarettes, that's no problem. He can even get imported American Camel cigarettes?

But, is that necessary?

The locals were used to smoking, not to mention the secret research team had so many cigarettes that they consumed a lot every day, so he was not picky about food.

He has smoked Double Happiness, 800 Heroes, Honghua and other cigarette brands. Of course, his favorites are Double Happiness and 800 Heroes. One of these two cigarette brands sounds festive, and the other symbolizes a spirit, which reminds him all the time. , the Japanese invaders are still wreaking havoc on the land of China, they must be driven out completely!

Double Happiness, give me two. Luo Yao ordered.

Okay, there's not much left. I'll go to the warehouse at the back to get it for you. Old Wu smiled and gave Luo Yao a look, signaling Luo Yao to go in and talk.

Okay, I'll go take a look with you.

…

The grocery store is much smaller than the bamboo products store in Jiangcheng. There is a small warehouse inside, which is used to purchase and store goods. There is also a room for him to live in and a stove room.

The stove room is not big, just enough for two people to fit in. There is no bathroom, so it should be settled on the spot.

Come in, the place is not big. Old Wu greeted.

When did you arrive?

It's been half a month. I entered Sichuan from Hanzhong and walked for almost a week before arriving at the mountain city. Old Wu asked Luo Yao to sit down and was about to make tea, but Luo Yao stopped him.

Tell me, have you been to Yan'an? Luo Yao asked.

Old Wu said: There will be opportunities in the future.

By the way, does the superior have a task for me? Luo Yao asked.

Your mission is still the same as before. However, I handed over the information on your research on deciphering the Japanese secret code to Minister Li. Minister Li said that we also need to conduct research on deciphering the Japanese military's secret code, but there is a lack of personnel and information. You We have advantages in this area and can do some work, Lao Wu said.

What do you need me to do?

We will arrange for some young students who have studied in Japan to come to the mountain city. There is no problem with their identities and we will ensure that there will be no problems in the military investigation. Do you need to recruit them into the 'Veterinary Station' for training in code communication and deciphering? Old Wu said.

You can let them go to the radio school first. They are recruiting people now. Then, I will recruit them in the name of selecting people.

This is a good method. As long as they can stand out in the radio school and you select them, even if their identity is exposed in the future, you will not be implicated. Old Wu nodded.

Give me the list, and I can keep an eye on it secretly. Luo Yao said.

Don't worry about it now. The minister said that if you are studying the Japanese army's coded communication, you will definitely need the Japanese army's coded communication codebook for research. Our Eighth Route Army captured three codebooks on the battlefield, but we cannot give them to you directly. You You have to find a way to get it yourself. Old Wu said.

Get it yourself?

These three code books are now carried to the mountain city by a comrade of our party. He will hand them over to the Kuomintang mountain city. How you can get these three code books depends on your ability. Lao Wu said.

Why did we hand over such an important code book to the Kuomintang? Luo Yao asked in confusion.

People have sent people to ask for help. From the perspective of the Anti-Japanese National United Front, we can't be too selfish. We have kept rubbings of the three code books. There is no problem in continuing to study. Giving them the authentic copies also reflects our commitment. Sincerity. Lao Wu said, Besides, Lao Jiang also agreed to give us a reward for shooting down a Japanese aircraft. This is not for nothing.

This codebook is more important than a Japanese aircraft. Chiang Kai-shek is too stingy.

It's good to have it, we have no hope. Old Wu said, These three code books have probably been handed over to the Military Commission now, but with your current status, you have to worry about getting these three code books. not easy.

As long as I have this thing, I can get it. Luo Yao said confidently.

Old Wu chuckled: Okay, I don't care what method you use to get these three code books. It doesn't matter if you can't get them. After all, these were all captured before. The Japanese army learned that the code books were lost and had already changed the codes.

Whether this is valuable or not can only be known after analysis after obtaining it. As long as the Japanese army does not change their code writing system, these three code books are still valuable for research.

By the way, my current identity is Hong En. I came from Hanzhong to visit relatives and opened a grocery store to make a living. Old Wu told Luo Yao his current identity in detail.

Where are the sister-in-law and the child?

My sister-in-law is still in Yan'an. She needs to undergo a period of training before she can come over. As for Min'er, she continues to study at Yan'an Middle School. Old Wu said.

That's good, then I feel relieved. Luo Yao nodded, Although I am relatively free now, this is in a mountain city. As the director of the 'veterinary station', I have so many pairs of eyes staring at me. I may not be able to Come and see you often. Luo Yao said.

I will find a way to install a public phone and say it is to attract business. In this way, we don't have to meet in person to get in touch. Old Wu had already thought about it.

Okay, I understand. Do you have any difficulties that you need me to help you solve, such as a funding gap? Luo Yao asked.

It's not needed yet. My family gave me a special fund, which is enough for me. Besides, I still have such a small shop, which is enough for daily expenses. Lao Wu said.

Are there any weapons in the house?

No, the interrogation is very strict along the way. If you were armed, your secret would have been exposed long ago. Old Wu shook his head.

I have to get you a handy weapon for self-defense. I'll find a way to deliver it to you later. Luo Yao nodded, I can't be out for too long. I have to go back quickly. We have a lot of time in the future.

Okay, I'll take you out.

Old Wu got up and sent Luo Yao out, and you took two Double Happiness brand cigarettes from the warehouse and stuffed them into his arms: In the future, I can put information into the cigarettes for you. If I have information, I will Mark it on the cigarette box and you’ll know it at a glance.”

knew.

Putting two cigarettes into his pocket, Luo Yao got on his bicycle and headed back to Songlin Slope.

…

Stationmaster, where have you been this early in the morning? When he returned to Ci'en Temple, he found Gong Hui standing in her room with an unhappy look on her face.

I went for a walk and bought two cigarettes by the way. What's wrong? Luo Yao also felt that Gong Hui's reaction was a bit excessive. He just went out for a trip. Is this necessary?

Wei Daming is here. I looked everywhere for you and couldn't find you. Do you think I'm in a hurry? Gong Hui said eagerly.

When Luo Yao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. This guy didn't come earlier or later, but he came here at this time. What did he want to do?

Where are the people?

I'm talking to Advisor Osborne. Gong Hui said.

Have you never been to our research and translation room? Luo Yao asked.

Of course, without your permission, no outsiders are allowed to enter the research and translation room. This is the rule you set. Gong Hui said, He Wei Daming is not Director Dai.

That's good. Since the people are here, let's go and meet him. Luo Yao said, Wei Daming could not get around Wei Daming when it came to deciphering secret codes in the military command.

Moreover, this guy is also known as one of the three and a half secret telecommunications experts in China today. Technically, his status in the world is still very high.

Wei Daming came well prepared and brought two people with him. Gong Hui said.

Two people, which two people? Luo Yao asked.

One is called Chen Zuxun, and the other is a woman and a section chief. Her surname is Jiang. The specific name is unknown.

Jiang Shaoying.

This is really not about enemies not getting together.
