The secret war is silent

Originally I wanted to call you over, but you just happened to be here. I have something to ask you to do. After Dai Yunong finished speaking, he pointed to a few pieces of letter paper on the table that had not yet dried the ink and said, Send one to me. Write a letter to Wang Xueting, Minister of Propaganda Department.

Luo Yao showed a hint of surprise and didn't know why, but he agreed immediately.

Yes, sir.

Why don't you ask me what's in the letter? Dai Yunong smiled and looked at Luo Yao and asked.

If you want the students to know, sir, the students will naturally know.

Go, take the letter and read it yourself. Dai Yunong ordered.

yes.

Luo Yao walked over and folded the four pieces of letter paper that had dried ink on the desk in order, then walked over and flipped through the pages.

It was four pages with not many words, only about 200 words in total. I finished it quickly. When I looked up, I saw that it was a handwritten letter written by Dai Yunong to the Propaganda Minister Wang Xueting. The wording was very harsh and almost entirely accusatory.

This disaster was caused by the Central News Agency, but the root cause still lies in the Propaganda Department, because the Central News Agency is under the control of the Propaganda Department.

It is impossible for Dai Yunong to write a personal letter to the president of the Central News Agency. It would lose his identity and the president is not qualified.

Sir, is this too harsh?

You Ning, don't you understand? The exclusive interview was requested by the Propaganda Department, and I refused it at first. You are engaged in confidentiality work, and it is best not to show your face. However, the military commander clearly played such a big role in the Anti-Japanese War. I have made so many contributions, but they are not known to anyone, and are even misunderstood. This is not because the publicity is not good enough, so I agreed. I didn’t expect that it would end up like this. If I didn’t go to him, who would I go to? Of course Dai Yunong was angry.

This is no longer Luo Yao's personal matter. It is related to the military command. He can not pursue it. Well, the propaganda has not had a positive effect. On the contrary, there must be some dirty deeds involved.

It's too much of a lie.

This is treating the military commander like a monkey.

If it weren't for the fact that the Central News Agency was also a propaganda agency of the party-state, he would have sent people to beat him to a pulp.

Dai Yunong was called the executioner along the way. When had he ever been so kind and soft-hearted?

This is courtesy first, then attack. If they don't handle it themselves, then I will handle it for them. Dai Yunong snorted coldly.

Luo Yao couldn't say anything. He was the person involved and had been hurt so much. He wouldn't ask Dai Yunong to repay evil with kindness, right?

This is obviously impossible, and he himself is not so generous.

It depends on how the Propaganda Department and the Central News Agency handle it. If they are not satisfied with the handling, it might really cause a big disturbance.

From Luo Yao's point of view, he really doesn't want to cause too much trouble, which is quite disadvantageous to him.

The best protection for a lurking person is to reduce his exposure. It is best to remain unknown and no one pays attention to him.

Now that he has reached this point, he can only try to reduce the exposure and outside attention as much as possible, and now this report.

If he doesn't respond, the heat will be over in a few days, and of course it will have an impact on his reputation.

But what was published in the press was only his pseudonym. Those who knew knew who he was, and those who didn't knew knew he was from the military commander.

Thinking about it this way, the whole incident actually did not have a great impact on Luo Yao, but the reputation of the military commander was the focus.

No wonder Dai Yunong is so angry.

At this time, he would never be stupid enough to persuade Dai Yunong to be more generous and not to argue with a brainless little woman.

Yes, sir.

You go now. Wang Xueting should still be in the office. If you go late, you may not meet him in person. Dai Yunong ordered.

…

Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee, Minister's Office.

Minister Wang Xueting actually took office not long ago. Politically speaking, he neither belonged to Erchen's CC department nor was he born in Huangpu. He belonged to the New Politics Department.

The New Deal Department had a glorious past, but now it is not as good as before, but it still has a certain influence.

This faction compromises with Japan politically, but supports the old man and strongly advocates the policy of reconciling the internal situation before fighting against foreign aggression. However, under the current background of uniting to fight the war and save the country, not many people are willing to listen to their ideas.

Minister, there is a messenger sent by Boss Dai who claims to be the military commander to deliver a message to you. The secretary walked into the office and reported.

The messenger, just ask him to leave the letter.

The visitor said that the task given to him by Boss Dai is to present it to the Minister in person.

What qualifications does a mere messenger have to see me? Do you want to send that letter or not? If not, let him take it back! After all, Wang Xueting is a ministerial-level official. How can he just say that he wants to see me?

yes!

…

Luo Yao, who sent the letter, had already expected this result. Which of the senior officials of the party and state had truly treated the people under their rule as equals.

His eyes were all on his forehead, and he even raised his neck high. If he hadn't held the certificate issued by Luojiawan on the 19th, he probably wouldn't have been able to get through the gate of the Propaganda Department.

The task Dai Yunong gave him was to deliver the letter to Minister Wang Xueting in person, but he didn't seem to have time to see him.

The mission must be completed. How can there be any reason to take back the letter that was sent?

The minister said, either the letter stays, or the letter leaves with the others. The secretary's cold voice sounded in Luo Yao's ears.

He is not wearing a military uniform today, just the gray tunic he wears at work. Although it looks a bit old, it is clean and neatly ironed.

And he wears leather shoes. In the military command, those who are qualified to wear leather shoes are generally officers, at least school-level officers.

However, in the Propaganda Department, no matter how high the military rank is, it is useless because people don't recognize him. At least in the eyes of these people, Luo Yao is not even a figure.

Being looked down upon is a sure thing.

What I am sending here is a letter written by our boss Dai. I must deliver this letter to Minister Wang Xueting!

The minister doesn't have time to see you today. The secretary looked very annoyed.

I must deliver this letter to Minister Wang Xueting today. I will not leave until I complete the task. Luo Yao said.

Hey, I said there's something wrong with your mind, right? The minister is very busy and doesn't have time to see you. Just leave the letter and go back! Wang Xueting's secretary was really angry.

If he hadn't been concerned about his identity as a rebel against the military, he would have had Luo Yao removed from the building long ago. He must not be lenient when dealing with such troublemakers.

I only need a minute to hand the letter to Minister Wang Xueting and leave immediately. Luo Yao looked at the other party calmly and said.

Wait!

The secretary was a little helpless. He really didn't have the guts to ask someone to kick Luo Yao out directly. If something happened, he couldn't bear the responsibility.

He had to run back again, and this time he would definitely be scolded. He was already mentally prepared for this.

As expected, the secretary was scolded and kicked out. She couldn't handle such a trivial matter. What do you want a secretary to do?

What else could the secretary do? He kept coming out to chase people away.

But Luo Yao stayed there and refused to leave, saying that he would see Minister Wang Xueting today and hand over Dai Yunong's autographed letter.

People in the military command, big shots, just scold you. They don't have the guts. If someone takes revenge, they don't dare to take it out on a big shot. They take it out on you, a little guy. Isn't that a matter of minutes?

Until then, just wait for bad luck.

The secretary had no choice but to drop a few harsh words and go about her own business.

Luo Yao waited in the lobby of the Propaganda Department building until after two o'clock in the afternoon, when Wang Xueting had a meeting to attend, and then came down from the office upstairs.

Minister Wang Xueting!

Who are you?

I, Commander Qin Ming, have ordered me to send you a letter by Boss Dai. Luo Yao raised the letter with his hands flat and bent down slightly.

Didn't I ask you to keep the letter and leave? Wang Xueting's face was ugly. This person had been waiting for him downstairs. How did this secretary do things?

The task I received is to deliver the letter to you personally. If I don't complete the task, I won't be able to go back and resume my life.

Wang Xueting had a stern look on his face, waved his hand and said, Just give the letter to my secretary.

Minister Wang Xueting, please accept this letter personally.

It's just a joke. It's just a letter. Wang Xueting snorted coldly. He had never seen such a person before. He was so stubborn and hard. He didn't know it was a stone that jumped out of the latrine.

Minister Wang Xueting, are you really not going to accept this letter from our boss Dai? Seeing that Wang Xueting had gotten into the car, he still shouted loudly.

Wang Xueting was unmoved and said softly: Let's go! The secretary closed the door and the car quickly started and drove away.

Why!

Luo Yao sighed. Maybe Wang Xueting still doesn't know what happened?

I think that since I became the Minister of Propaganda, I can ignore Juntong and Dai Yunong. Yes, senior officials at the ministerial level do not need to worry about Dai Yunong and Juntong, but are these senior officials clean?

…

In the car, the secretary asked softly.

Minister, why didn't you take the letter just now?

Dai Yunong is just a hawk dog under the CEO. Some of the hawk dogs who were hawk dogs ended up well. They wrote to me and sent people to hand them over to me personally. It's better for him to come in person. Wang Xueting said, No need. Never mind him, if he’s willing to wait there, just let him wait!”

Yes, but the military commander is not easy to mess with after all. Who in the mountain city is not afraid of being targeted by the military commander's spies? the secretary said.

Don't be afraid, Dai Yunong doesn't dare to reach out to our Propaganda Department yet. We are in charge of the mouthpiece of the party and state. If he really angers us, let him see the power of public opinion! Wang Xueting said confidently.

yes.

…

The letter was not sent, so Luo Yao had no choice but to go back and resume his life.

It's too much!

Luo Yao did not add any exaggeration, truthfully reported his experience to Dai Yunong, and apologized. If he had not insisted on handing over the letter, perhaps nothing would have happened later.

You Ning, I don't blame you for this, it's Wang Xueting's contempt for our military commander. Dai Yunong said, Well, since they are determined to do this, there is no need for us to save face for them.

Qi Wu, from tomorrow onwards all letters and packages involving all personnel of the Propaganda Department will be detained for inspection. The Anti-Smuggling Department of the Ministry of Finance will focus on investigating the smuggling and criminal violations of relevant personnel. I want Wang Xueting to know the price to pay for offending the military commander!

yes.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
