The secret war is silent

wait.

Luo Yao didn't see Dai Yunong.

He didn't ask much. The place was heavily guarded, and there were people wearing military uniforms outside. There was a post every three steps, and a sentry every five steps, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Inside were guards wearing blue and black tunic suits, who should be the old man's personal bodyguards.

Tight on the outside and loose on the inside, which is in line with the current situation of mountain cities. After all, in addition to the enemies in the sky, the enemies on the ground are still some distance away.

They just want to come, so they have to climb mountains and wade through rivers and cross mountains and ridges, and they can't come even if they don't see it.

In the waiting room, Luo Yao sat on a solid wood chair with his legs together and a straight waist, looking straight ahead, motionless, like a sculpture.

Who is the staff officer Luo Yaoluo of the Military Command Bureau! A young guard came quickly and asked loudly after entering.

That's me. Luo Yao stood up and replied.

plz follow me.

yes.

Not daring to look around, I followed the guard through a long corridor and came to a door made of solid wood. The guard stopped and said, Please wait a moment.

Luo Yao nodded, stood aside with his hands down, and didn't look sideways.

After the guard pushed the door open and entered, less than two minutes later, he came out: Counsel Luo, sir, please come in.

Thanks.

He didn't need to push the door, the guard had already pushed it open for him, and he just had to lift his legs and walk in.

This is a very large room, measuring forty or fifty square meters by visual inspection, with whitewashed walls, tiled floor, blue velvet curtains, and a layer of blackout gauze inside.

A set of sofas, covered with Shu brocade carpet, dark red.

The open fireplace should be used for heating in winter. However, with the current temperature in the mountain city, it is no problem to wear short sleeves at noon, so there is no need for it.

Next to the fireplace, a middle-aged man with a thin body and almost no hair on his head was sitting on a chair. He wore a yellow khaki military uniform and the same pants. On his feet was a pair of very casual pants. Black cloth shoes.

There was another person in the room, Dai Yunong, whom he had never seen before.

Dai Yunong was dressed more formally. He wore a blue tunic suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and there was a pen on his chest and front pocket. The leather boots on his feet were spotless, except for the long pony face. It is impossible to understand anyone's mood swings, nor do you know what he is thinking in his heart at the moment.

Seeing Luo Yao come in, the two of them looked over at the same time.

One showed a hint of curiosity, while the other showed a hint of joy, and even an inexplicable emotion.

Back down, impossible!

It was not like he was meeting his mother-in-law, so he never had the idea of ​​meeting the professional one in his mind. Luo Yao walked over slowly, stood at attention with a snap, and gave a military salute first!

Hello sir, Luo Yao, the staff officer of the Confidential Office of the Military Command Bureau, has been ordered to come.

Dai Yunong was about to speak, but the old man stopped him with his hand: Consultant Luo, don't you know who I am?

You look familiar, but I can't confirm it.

Why?

It is a grave sin to misidentify a leader. Luo Yao said loudly.

Hahaha, interesting, interesting. The old man suddenly stood up, pointed at Luo Yao and said, Yunong, you are a very interesting student.

Principal, you are overestimating me. Dai Yunong also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly.

Come on, let's sit down and talk.

The old man walked to the single sofa and sat down. Luo Yao also sat down next to Dai Yunong, about thirty centimeters away, with half his buttocks occupied.

Yunong, this time your military commander provided very accurate intelligence and avoided huge losses. This time, you have made a huge contribution.

The principal is a good leader, how can the students dare to take advantage of God's merits!

Yunong, this is your credit, this is your credit. The people below always say bad things about you in front of me, saying that you are overbearing, ruthless and unreasonable, but I also know that there are difficulties in doing things and not doing things. Why don't people say bad things? The old man said, I won't listen to these gossips from now on, so don't worry.

Thank you principal for your trust.

This time, the message that the Japanese army intended to use special incendiary bombs to carry out indiscriminate large-scale bombing of mountain cities was deciphered by Staff Officer Luo, right?

Mr. Report, this is the credit of our team, not Luo Yao alone. Luo Yao said hurriedly.

The old man listened and nodded with great satisfaction: Very good, Yunong, you really have a lot of talents under your command. If there are more talents like Staff Officer Luo, why can't the party and the country defeat the Japanese invaders?

Principal, you are right. Luo Yao is indeed one of the most capable young people under the students. There are many young people like him in the military command, and they are all very capable. Dai Yunong lowered his head and said.

Well, we must give young people more opportunities and have the courage to shoulder heavy responsibilities. They are the new force in fighting the Japanese invaders. The old man said.

Yes, principal.

Luo Yao, how old are you this year? The old man nodded and asked suddenly.

Mr. Report, I am twenty-five years old this year.

You're twenty-five, that's not a young age. Have you ever gotten married?

Not yet.

You're not young anymore. When I was your age, my dolls were already this tall. The old man seemed to be very interested in raising his hand, making a gesture that was almost three feet above the ground.

Mr. Reporter, the students have made an oath that they will never get married until the Japanese invaders are eliminated. Luo Yao said hurriedly, So, we haven't considered getting married yet.

Well, if you are ambitious, if our young people have thoughts like yours, then why worry about driving away the Japanese invaders and restoring our homeland? The old man was very excited after hearing this.

Principal, students feel that Luo Yao's spirit can be imitated and promoted. Dai Yunong glanced at Luo Yao and suggested to the old man.

That's unnecessary. The old man shook his hand.

yes.

Luo Yao, just briefly report to the principal how you intercepted the Japanese military's secret communication messages and deciphered them. Dai Yunong ordered.

Yes. Luo Yao quickly collected his thoughts, organized the language in his mind, and said, We were able to successfully decipher this time. It was all done with the support and leadership of the director...

Of course, when you show merit in front of the old man, you can't just talk about yourself. You have to put the leader first. Even if the leader doesn't do anything, the biggest contribution should be said to be the biggest, and then it should be the contribution of the people who work under him. , and put my own credit at the end, or even not mention it.

This is the secret to reporting and asking for credit. If you don’t tell me, wouldn’t the old man know it?

Luo Yao knew that if he could come here, Dai Yunong must have said a lot of good things about himself in front of the old man. He didn't need to say these words himself. Self-praise was LOW. Of course, there was no need to belittle oneself and be humble. It is undoubtedly the easiest way to gain favor by taking credit for one's own achievements.

Moreover, the leader will also be satisfied. What he said is completely different from what others said. Sure enough, the old man nodded frequently after listening to it, and from time to time he would add a sentence or two to ask, and Dai Yunong, too There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the eyes he looked at Luo Yao became softer and softer. If it had been someone else who was upright, it might have been a different result.

Luo Yao didn't stay long, and came out in about a quarter of an hour.

…

Yunong, this young man is calm and capable. He is a rare talent. After Luo Yao left, the old man said to Dai Yunong with a civilized stick.

The principal said that when I first went to the temporary training class, I fell in love with him at first sight. Dai Yunong nodded hurriedly.

The Three Youth League is the only organization for outstanding young people in the country, and young people like Luo Yao should become the backbone of it, the old man said.

What do you mean by the principal? Dai Yunong couldn't help but be shocked. Luo Yao has fallen into the old man's eyes and is about to jump over the dragon's gate!

I think he can serve as an officer in the branch headquarters below, even if he is not responsible for specific affairs. The old man said, As long as he does his job well.

Yes, the student will do what you want. Hu Hu breathed a sigh of relief. If he were a branch officer, it would be nothing. If he was a branch officer, it would be obviously different.

(Military commanders basically join the Three Youth League collectively)

Yunong, you did a good job this time and restored your previous reputation...

…

Brother Luo, have you seen him?

Um.

How is it? Wang Hanguang asked eagerly, his excited expression seemed to be even more exaggerated than that of Luo Yao, and it was obvious that he was envious.

Sir, he is very kind. He is as kind as his uncle. There is nothing else. Luo Yao thought for a moment and said.

Didn't you ask anything?

I asked, talked about some work matters, and chatted about household matters for a while.

Gone?

Well, no more.

Didn't you say anything else?

What else can I say? Isn't this the first time we meet?

Sir, didn't you have any words of appreciation or encouragement for you?

Sir, he said I'm interesting... Luo Yao said with a smile.

Interesting... Wang Hanguang was confused for a moment. Based on his experience, he couldn't analyze what the meaning contained in it.

Dai Yunong didn't come out and didn't let him leave, so he and Wang Hanguang could only wait outside. In just ten minutes, Dai Yunong walked out of the door quickly.

You Ning, get in the car and come back with me. Dai Yunong walked in a gust of wind and passed by Luo Yao without saying anything.

yes.

Luo Yao quickly agreed and followed him quickly in small steps.

The job of opening the door for Boss Dai originally belonged to Wang Hanguang, his personal secretary, but at this moment, Luo Yao, who was one step ahead, took it away.

Who made him slow down? You can't let Boss Dai stand in front of the car door waiting for you, right?

You Ning, you sit with me in the back, and Secretary Wang sits in the front. Dai Yunong got in the car, raised his head and gave instructions.

good.

…

You Ning, today's interview is very important to you. I was worried that you would be too nervous. I didn't expect that your performance exceeded my expectations.

Director, you don't know that the back of my palms are sweaty. Luo Yao said hurriedly.

Dai Yunong smiled, very happily.

Very good. The principal has a good impression of you. You will work hard in the military command and you will have a bright future.

That's all because of your cultivation, director, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today.

That's because you have this ability, and it's inseparable from your hard work. Dai Yunong nodded, By the way, you don't have a specific position in the Three Youth League, right?

Luo Yao was stunned for a moment and shook his head. If Dai Yunong hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he still had this identity. Anyway, to join the military, you have to fill out a form.

Members of the Three Youth League may not be members of the Kuomintang, but members of the Kuomintang may be members of the Three Youth League.

How about it? Are you interested in taking a part-time job there?

Director, I'm not very good at political work. It's enough to follow the director and be loyal to the leader. I don't think much about the rest. Luo Yao said hurriedly.

You little naughty boy, don't you just want to evade responsibility? Although Dai Yunong scolded him, Luo Yao's words made him feel comfortable. Didn't he just need such a person? His thoughts were too complicated, and he still dared to trust him. Now, as young people, it’s better to be simple.

Director, you know that only those who are distracted can do good things. Take my current job as an example, if I am distracted, it will be bad. Luo Yao had an idea in his mind.

Dai Yunong nodded. He didn't expect this just now. No wonder the old man said that he just wanted Luo Yao to show his name and didn't even need to take care of the specific affairs.

It turns out that it's not a deliberate preference, it's a deep meaning. Only by focusing can you achieve results.

I know, I just give you a title and you don't have to deal with specific affairs. You don't even have to go to meetings. Dai Yunong said.

The director said so, can I still agree? Luo Yao could only agree. It was normal for this person to be in the military command and he couldn't help himself. It seemed that he had to go and meet Lao Wu as soon as possible.

By the way, Director Wei asked you about the merger of your two families? Dai Yunong suddenly asked.

Director, Director Wei came to see me, but I don't agree with the merger plan he proposed, but I didn't completely reject it. Luo Yao considered it and said.

So do you think it's a good time to merge now, or not? Dai Yunong continued to ask.

Director, although this special technology research laboratory was mainly focused on deciphering cipher codes when it was first established, it is now in name only. It only carries out some interception and statistical work. There is not much progress in deciphering, and the members of the research laboratory are not large. Most of them are part-time, and if they are merged, it can avoid the duplication and waste of manpower and material resources, which is naturally good. Luo Yaodao.

Well, their monthly budget is about the same as yours, but the results are almost invisible, and the military commander's money is not in vain. Dai Yunong nodded. Others don't know how big the government's current fiscal deficit is, but he knows it very well. , and his relationship with the Kong family, if he wants to get more funds from the Ministry of Finance, don’t even think about it. It’s good if he doesn’t withhold money.

But who will take the lead after the merger of the two agencies? Director, I have no objection to Director Wei. He is an expert in secret telecommunications, but he now wears multiple hats and his energy is limited. In addition to the Telecommunications Department and the Military Command Department, The work of the second office is very busy, it's hard to say whether we can take care of both. The most important point is that our work efficiency and methods are completely different. If we work together, who will listen to whom? Luo Yao said again.

Dai Yunong didn't speak, he couldn't answer this yet.

Director, I don't object to the merger, but I am cautious about how to merge. Luo Yao finally said.

What if the Special Technology Research Laboratory is integrated into the secret research group? Dai Yunongfa asked.

How does Director Wei arrange it?

I'll tell Wei Daming that he doesn't need to hold any substantive position in the new secret research office and retain his status as a consultant. The secret research office will be led by you. What do you think? Dai Yunong said.

Director, I am still relatively inexperienced. I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public if I assume such an important position? Luo Yao was cautious. He still didn't know Dai Yunong's true inner thoughts.

Just tell me, do you dare to do it?

Director, the students have nothing to be afraid of, but if they follow my ideas, I'm afraid Director Wei will have even greater objections to me. Luo Yao immediately said solemnly.

That's enough. You can submit a merger plan later and I'll take a look at it before making a decision. Dai Yunong ordered.

We receive the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, wishing everyone a fortune, and please vote by the way!
