The secret war is silent

Chapter 114 Blockade

Sunshine Cafe has not yet opened.

"The Japanese have begun to block the concession, and no one is allowed in or out. It is difficult for us to get out. Prices in the concession have skyrocketed today, and tens of thousands of people have come to the safe zone to seek refuge. The price of rice has more than doubled compared to before the Japanese came. It's over." Yan Ming rubbed his hands and breathed the heat while reporting to Luo Yao that the weather was getting colder and it was time to wear autumn clothes.

Sooner or later.

The Japanese are not fools. They cannot send troops into the French Concession. At this time, they are not willing to completely anger the West and cause unnecessary diplomatic trouble to themselves.

After all, Japan is in a state of poverty, and many strategic materials need to be imported from Western countries in case of a breakdown in relations.

If someone imposes a material embargo on you, can this war continue?

It should be noted that Japan's domestic economy is very poor, and the fiscal deficit is expanding year by year, especially war expenses, which have completely exceeded the capacity of domestic finances.

However, the French Concession is a place in Jiangcheng where there are currently no Japanese, so it has naturally become the safest haven for anti-Japanese elements. It is conceivable that the Japanese focus their attention on the French Concession.

"The next step is to cut off the water and electricity. Do you understand now why I asked you to stock up on candles and water?" Luo Yao smiled slightly.

"The team leader still had the foresight, but the Japanese's vicious move forced the concession authorities to compromise, allowing them to come in and arrest the anti-Japanese comrades." Yan Ming couldn't help but cursed.

"Be prepared for a long-term struggle, and there will be hard times." Luo Yao said, "The wired communication between the concession and the outside world has probably been cut off, right?"

"Some lines were out of service the night before yesterday, but the Japanese have reserved a few dedicated lines. If you want to use them, it will cost a lot of money." Gong Hui came over and brought two cups of coffee, "Here, Try the coffee I brewed, the soft opening will be the day after tomorrow, can you give me a review?"

"The proprietress brewed the coffee herself, so you should try it." Yan Ming reached out to take it and took a sip, "Well, it's good, but it's quite bitter, similar to traditional Chinese medicine."

"Dog meat won't make it to the banquet, and you won't be able to make a good living by drinking it." Gong Hui glared at Yan Ming, then said softly, "Cousin, what do you think?"

"In general, it's okay. The heat is a little too hot. If you wait another two minutes, the flavor will be stronger and more fragrant." Knowing that he couldn't escape, Gong Hui changed his strategy, and Luo Yao also He took a sip and commented.

"Cousin, you know." Gong Hui chuckled, her eyes moving, "Unlike someone who doesn't understand the style, he is a lump of elm wood."

"Sister Hui, I don't have one..." Yan Ming was at a loss.

"Ahem, Xiaohui, how are you preparing for the trial opening the day after tomorrow?" Luo Yao coughed quickly, but Gong Hui was talking about herself.

"We're almost ready. I promise I won't let you down." Gong Hui smiled and said, "However, if you all can't come over to support me, it will take away the atmosphere."

"Okay, it's almost curfew. It's time for Yan Ming and I to leave. You should go back and rest early." Luo Yao stood up and said.

"Cousin, I want to go back too. Let's go with you." Gong Hui took her coat and followed closely.

"Team leader, Sister Hui. I'll leave now. I'm not worried about the kitten being alone at home." If Yan Ming had no vision, he wouldn't know what to add to the coffee he drank.

"The Japanese have blocked the concession, and the only way for us to communicate with the outside world is the radio station." Gong Hui whispered to Luo Yao as she walked.

Luo Yao nodded: "There is nothing we can do about it. Now that we are changing from light to dark, we need to go through a process of familiarity and adaptation."

"I'm worried that Old Liu will be in danger. Otherwise, while people can still enter the concession, can we withdraw him?" Gong Hui also said worriedly.

"No, before the Japanese army entered the city, I talked to Lao Liu and gave him a very important task." Luo Yao shook his head. There were some things he did not tell Gong Hui.

Gong Hui said in surprise: "You wouldn't let Lao Liu deliberately betray him and stay undercover next to Han Liangze, right?"

"I have always been worried about Han Liangze, which is why I have always hidden my identity and never met him. My identity is not suitable for being an undercover agent next to him, and he will not believe me. Old Liu is the most suitable candidate. "Luo Yao nodded. He could not see through this person more and more.

"Isn't this too dangerous? Han Liangze knows Lao Liu's identity, so how can he trust him?" Gong Hui asked.

"Although Han Liangze is highly used by the Japanese, he does not have a core team or his own strength. This is why he took the risk and put down his body to meet Gu Mo Sheng in person. It is precisely because of this." Luo Yao analyzed, "He needs to establish Only with his own team and people under his command can he have the ability to bargain with the Japanese."

Han Liangze has a lot of people under him. He has promoted many people to the positions of deputy director and director over the years. However, the work these people can do is limited. They can do law and order and catch thieves, but when it comes to spy work, Really only people like Gu Mo Sheng and Liu Jinbao can do that.

"But it's not easy for Old Liu to win the trust of Han Liangze and even the Japanese?" Gong Hui said.

"Old Liu had a sweetheart in the past. When he came back this time, the old love rekindled and he was already two months pregnant..." Luo Yao chuckled.

"Ah, why don't I know anything?"

"This is a secret between us men, how could he tell you?" Luo Yao chuckled, "With this bond, at least half of Han Liangze's suspicions can be dispelled."

"Where's the other half?"

"Then Lao Liu will have to suffer a little. He has already been mentally prepared for this. It is estimated that Gu Mo Sheng should find him." Luo Yao said, "Gu Mo Sheng is very aware of this matter about Lao Liu."

"Old Liu, this loach, is really going to get into the mud this time." Gong Hui couldn't help but sigh.

"If we want to survive under the enemy's nose, we must have someone inside the enemy. Among us, only Lao Liu is the most suitable. He is a local and has no grudge against Han Liangze. He even secretly With his help, Han Liangze will definitely have a good impression of him, and it’s a time of employment, don’t you think this is an excellent opportunity?”

"Qingqing, you have planned it a long time ago?" Gong Hui was extremely surprised.

"Be prepared for a rainy day. There are some things you can do first. I didn't know if they would be useful at the time. Anyway, if you do them, it won't affect anything. But if you don't do them, you won't be able to do many things now."

"No wonder Gu Yuan said that you are too thoughtful. I have to be careful when I am with you. Sometimes I am tricked by you without even realizing it." Gong Hui said.

Luo Yao smiled bitterly. He also wanted to live a simpler life without so many calculations, but was this possible? If he made a slight mistake, he was not the only one who suffered a disaster, but the entire team directly under the "River God".

"However, only those who have evil intentions need to be wary of others. I know that these calculations of yours are not for yourself, let alone harm us. Sometimes, it is also a good thing to have someone to help you with these calculations." Gong Hui added Said, she had always been polite to Gu Yuan.

Luo Yao smiled. He didn't expect Gong Hui to think so. He was really touched. In fact, this is a kind of trust. If it weren't for trust, who would want his fate to be arranged by others?

"Xiao Hui, you're here!" Unknowingly, he had arrived at Sanli where Gong Hui lived.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

"No, I have to go back. I was discovered by the patrol team of the Law Enforcement Department. It's hard to explain." Luo Yao declined Gong Hui's invitation.

"Well, you are welcome to come here anytime." Gong Hui turned around and disappeared into the darkness, taking away a refreshing fragrance.

Luo Yao's nose itched slightly.

This girl never used this brand of perfume before...

Whether it's selfishness, his stubbornness, or because he still has an identity, Luo Yao can't accept Gong Hui's affection now.

Of course Gong Hui is a good girl, he knows this.

When I got home, I washed up in a hurry and went upstairs. The power supply in the French Concession is quite unstable now, but the radio needs to have electricity to use it.

Luo Yao could only think of a way to build a hand-operated generator, but it took two people to generate electricity and copy and receive telegrams.

So, Luo Yao found a way to dismantle the bicycles one by one, combine them with the generator, and convert them into a pedal-operated generator.

In this way, he can free his hands and use his feet instead, and then his hands can copy and send messages.

It was time for him to contact Liu Jinbao as agreed.

Put on the earphones and adjust to the frequency they agreed on. Driven by the gear, the generator began to generate electricity and obtain a relatively stable voltage. The red light on the transceiver began to flash.

The message from Liu Jinbao was very brief, just one sentence: "Gu Mosheng made an appointment with him to meet at Tang Kee tomorrow morning."
