The secret war is silent

The birthday song played.

Brother Yao, make a wish. Gong Hui came closer and looked at Luo Yao with a pair of bright eyes.

I think you are using this way to remind me that I am one year older, right? Luo Yao was very touched. He himself had forgotten his birthday, but everyone around him still remembered it.

Unconsciously, time flies so fast.

It has been two years since I escaped from death in Jinling.

The past two years have been filled with mixed emotions. He has gone from being an underground worker to being the head of a military command organization. Although his identity has not changed, his person has undergone earth-shaking changes. .

There is no going back to the past.

Then we can only struggle hard and live towards the future.

A person who has died once has nothing to fear and what wish can he make? Luo Yao thought for a moment, closed his eyes and muttered silently in his heart, then opened his eyes and blew out all the candles in one breath.

Happy birthday, Dad. Xiao Nan was the first to come forward, holding a rolled up picture scroll in both hands.

Xiao Nan, is this a birthday gift for dad?

Yeah. Xiao Nan nodded vigorously.

Thank you, Xiaonan. Luo Yao reached out and took it, but did not open it immediately. No matter what gift Xiaonan gave, it was the child's heart, and whether it was valuable or not was put aside.

Brother Yao, let's cut the cake first. Gong Hui greeted.

Okay, cut the cake! Luo Yao chuckled and picked up Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan, would you like to cut the cake with dad?

good!

Give this piece to Xiao Nan.

Thank you, Dad. Xiao Nan has been greedy for a long time. This cream cake is so delicious. She will never forget it after trying it once.

In this era, cream cake is indeed a rarity, and ordinary families cannot afford it. Just a piece of cake can wipe out an ordinary person's monthly salary. How many people are willing to spend a month's money just to eat one? pause?

We're not just going to have cake tonight, are we?

How could it be possible? Sister Hui personally rolled out a bowl of longevity noodles for you. Tiger couldn't wait to claim the credit.

Yeah?

Isn't this your birthday? I was thinking about making you a bowl of noodles. Haven't you eaten the noodles I made for you for a long time? Gong Hui blushed shyly.

I will definitely eat the noodles you made. Luo Yao nodded, Let's go, I'm hungry too, let's start dinner.

It's time to eat... Xiaonan called, clapping her hands. The little girl slowly got over her sadness and became more lively.

In our family, we don't have many opportunities to get together for dinner. Today is a rare opportunity. I suggest that we have a drink! Luo Yao raised his glass.

Dad, I want to toast too.

You can't. Children can't drink.

Xiao Nan, drink orange water.

Old Dong, Old Dong...

Oh, it's coming, it's coming, sir, your fish will be ready soon, just wait a moment, it's not even ready yet...

Don't worry, come over for a drink first?

Old Dong ran over.

Today is my birthday. I even forgot about it. Here, I want to thank Gong Hui. If she hadn't still remembered, there wouldn't have been this meal tonight. I'm very happy. Although we are from different places, we can It is fate to get together in the mountain city. I am very grateful to everyone for taking care of and tolerating me. Thank you everyone. I will drink this glass first as a token of respect! Luo Yao picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Brother Yao is right, we are all strangers in the mountain city, and we are strangers in a foreign land alone. Only by staying together can we survive here and get everything we want! Gong Huiye said later.

cheers!

This night, Luo Yao, as the protagonist, was very restrained. Although he drank a lot, he always remained sober.

However, Gong Hui didn't know that she was overcome with emotion. She drank a lot by herself, and by the end of the drink, she was already drunk.

The whole person fell drunk in Luo Yao's arms.

If Luo Yao hadn't helped her back to the room quickly, she didn't know what kind of drunk words she would have said.

…

Applying cold water to his face, Luo Yao almost lost control in the room just now, if it weren't for the fact that his head was still clear.

I might have done something wrong tonight.

Regardless of whether you do it willingly or not, good things must be done at a good time, otherwise, you will have lifelong regrets.

He considers himself not to be a moral gentleman, but at least he can be regarded as a decent gentleman, and he will not do anything to take advantage of others' danger.

Work had to continue. When I woke up the next day, I asked and found that Gong Hui had not gotten up yet.

Xiaonan still has to go to school.

The car to pick her up has already arrived.

Depart with the car.

Sir, it's time for breakfast, would you like to call Miss Hui? Old Dong came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a drawer of steamed buns.

Forget it, let her sleep a little longer. Luo Yao sat down, took a sip of millet porridge, and thought for a while.

Then I'll put Miss Hui's breakfast in the steamer for you to warm, and wait for her to get up later before eating?

OK.

After Luo Yao finished breakfast, he called Yang Fan: Tiger, let's go.

…

Director Luo, based on the triangulation method, we determined that the mysterious radio signal we discovered before is in this area!

Back at work, Chi An and Wen Xueren came over to report on their work.

On the map, Chi An drew an area with a radius of about five or six kilometers in the south bank of the mountain city, pointed at it and said.

The embassy district on the south bank?

We suspect that the radio station is hidden in this area, but this is where the embassies of various countries are located. Even if there is a spy radio station hiding there, we cannot enter and search. Chi An nodded.

An embassy is an extension of a country's territory. International law stipulates that this has diplomatic immunity. Without the permission of the embassy, ​​you cannot enter the embassy of any country, even if it is a hostile country.

Just monitor it closely. Luo Yao didn't have any good solution for a while, so he could only do this, and he had no clue to decipher it.

Director, we are currently studying the Japanese Navy's secret code. We need a large number of Japanese Navy communication messages for research, but the number we intercepted is far from enough. The secret inspection can help in this regard. They have secret secrets along the east coast of Zhejiang and overseas. At the monitoring station, it is far more convenient for us to intercept Japanese naval messages... Chi An said.

Based on our current relationship with the secret inspection agency, do you think they will hand over these intercepted messages to us? Luo Yao smiled bitterly.

Then should we set up some monitoring stations here?

Where will the manpower and funds come from? Luo Yao asked.

The manpower problem is not big. They are just responsible for monitoring and intercepting communication messages. This only requires a little training. The problem is funding. Also, when establishing monitoring stations overseas, you need to report to the local country and government. Otherwise, If it is established secretly, it will be difficult to say in terms of security. Moreover, the initial investment to establish an overseas observation station is quite large and requires a lot of money. Chi An analyzed.

This matter may not be solved for a while, but domestic monitoring stations can be established in eastern Zhejiang and Fujian. We will not consider overseas ones for now. We don't have the ability yet. Let's see if we can cooperate with the secret inspection station. If they don't cooperate, , think of other ways. Luo Yao thought for a while and said.

Um.

…

You want to build a monitoring station along the coast of eastern Zhejiang?

Yes, it is mainly for the monitoring and interception of the Japanese Navy's encrypted communications, so as to provide samples for us to decipher the Japanese Navy's encrypted communications. Luo Yao explained, If possible, I would also like to monitor and intercept the Japanese Navy's encrypted communications in Hong Kong or French India Overseas stations have also been set up in China's Haiphong or Singapore in the Malacca Strait.

There is no need to consider overseas stations for the time being. We can consider setting up one along the east coast of Zhejiang. We also need to understand the movements of the Japanese navy to ensure the safety of our overseas aid supplies. Dai Yunong nodded.

Yes, thank you sir for your support.

By the way, the superiors plan to carry out an effective integration of the secret code deciphering agencies in the government. In the next few days, the heads of various agencies may be convened to meet to discuss the integration. You must be mentally prepared. Dai Yunong reminded Luo Yao.

Sir, how do you plan to integrate it? Luo Yao was not surprised. The trend of integration has been blowing for a long time.

This arm has always been unable to hold up his thigh. The old man saw that the 'X' team played a key role in deciphering the Japanese secret code during the Battle of Xiangcheng, and naturally wanted to firmly control this department in his hands.

It should be merged into a new organization. You will know the details when the time comes. Dai Yunong said.

yes.

…

Sister Xing took her four children and trekked until they finally arrived at the mountain city. Luo Yao and Shen Yu drove to pick them up in person.

After a rough journey, Sister Xing looked a lot more haggard. Her husband was imprisoned, and the family lost their income, making their life difficult.

If Luo Yao had not made arrangements in advance, the family of five would not know how to come to the mountain city. In that case, she would have no choice but to send her children to her hometown in southern Hunan and come to the mountain city alone to take care of her husband.

This is the first time for several children to meet uncle Shen Yu, and they feel very cordial. As for uncle Luo Yao (sister Xing asked for it, and each has his own), they have already met him once before, although it was just a face-to-face meeting, not much. We've talked before, but at least we know each other.

As for Gong Hui and others, it was their first time meeting them.

Shen Yu's place was small and could not accommodate so many people. Luo Yao had already rented a small courtyard in Shapingba.

Although it is a bit small, it is definitely no problem for a family to live in.

Yu Jie still has some savings, which is enough to support the family, but the loss of income will undoubtedly put some pressure on the family.

There are also four children going to school, which is much more expensive in a mountain city than in Zunyi, and Sister Xing is also better off.

Otherwise, Yu Jie's family has a lot of expenses, and he would rather embezzle public funds and resell supplies to earn money to supplement his expenses than think about Luo Yao, a student, opening his mouth.

Sister Xing actually studied medicine and was an old man who had experienced the Northern Expedition. She only took care of her husband and raised her children after marrying Yu Jie.

Luo Yao was not afraid of being gossiped anyway, so he directly arranged for Sister Xing to work in the infirmary of the secret interpretation room.

This also provides a considerable income.

There are four children, the youngest two are not yet old enough to go to school, and the other two have school arrangements.

Xiao Nan also has a playmate.

Some people still found out about Sister Xing, but Dai Yunong didn't say anything. Although the military commander liked to get involved, the reputation of a woman and four underage children was too bad.

This is still for his own people, and Dai Yunong probably doesn't want the people below him to scold him in the spine.

No matter how Yu Jie said that he only made an economic mistake, not a mistake of principle, and he still pursued his wife and children, it was too much.
