The secret war is silent

Luo Yao was making the bed when he suddenly heard a knock on the door behind him. He turned around and saw it was Shen Yu. He smiled and hurriedly went up to meet him.

"Brother Shen is here, come in and sit down."

"The conditions in the mountain city are simple, far worse than what you are in Jiangcheng." Shen Yu walked in and also smiled.

"During the war of resistance and national salvation, how could we be so particular about just having a place to sleep." Luo Yao moved a chair over.

Shen Yu was not polite to him and sat down.

"The climate in the mountain city is a bit cold, and it gets even colder at night. If you need anything, tell me." Shen Yu said, "You're welcome."

"Okay, then I'm welcome." Luo Yao nodded, "This quilt is too thin, covering it is like not covering it. Can you get me another one?"

"Cotton is a strategic material, and now we are closely following the soldiers at the front. Many of these soldiers don't even have a cotton coat, so quilts are very scarce, but for us, it's not a big problem. Yardley also told me just now Okay, I'll give each of you an extra quilt, it's not much." Shen Yu nodded.

"Is the frontline so short of supplies?"

"You haven't seen reports like this. There are a lot of people on the front line who freeze to death and have frostbite. There are many troops with non-combat attrition of more than 30%." Shen Yu sighed.

"I never thought it would be so difficult."

"There is no other way. The Japanese army has imposed a complete blockade on us. The weapons that the Soviet Union is assisting us can only dock in Singapore, and then be dismantled and transported back. How much manpower and material resources are consumed in this?" Shen Yu sighed. .

"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about you. Why were you suddenly transferred back to the Shancheng Bureau headquarters?" Luo Yao asked.

"I don't know. I was doing a good job as the director of the general affairs department in the Qianyang special training class. Suddenly, I was transferred and asked to report back to the Shancheng general affairs office and serve as the deputy section chief of the general affairs department. The level remains unchanged, but my life is different. So carefree." Shen Yu said.

"You know the teacher went to Hanoi, right?"

"Well, I only found out after I arrived at the bureau headquarters. This is a thankless job, and I know what the fourth brother thinks." Shen Yu also didn't understand that Yu Jie took on such a task.

"Teachers also have difficulties as teachers, not to mention that if something like this happens, someone has to go." Luo Yao couldn't say much. Many things here can only be understood and cannot be explained.

Dai Yunong was very afraid of Yu Jie's prestige in the special training class, so he found an excuse to transfer him. Can this be made public? Obviously it can't be done.

No matter how generous Dai Yunong is in employing people, he can't possibly allow someone under his command to push him down, right?

"How are you and Gong Hui doing? When are you going to do things?" Shen Yu changed the topic and asked Luo Yaodao jokingly with a smile.

"What's the matter? Gong Hui and I have nothing to do with each other." Luo Yao denied it. It was a private agreement between him and Gong Hui. There was no need to show it to others. They just knew it in their hearts. .

"You're still lying to me. The way Gong Hui looks at you is not a normal superior-subordinate relationship." Shen Yu said with a smile, "I'm experienced in this area."

"You are someone who has been here before. I haven't mentioned what's going on between you and Jiang Pingping, but you guys made it up during the training class?" Luo Yao naturally couldn't let the conversation focus on him, so he had to fight back.

"Hey, don't mention it. I just settled down in Qianyang and wanted to transfer her there. As a result, I was transferred to Shancheng again. Now I don't know when we will have a chance to meet." Shen Yu said melancholy.

"So where does she work now?"

"After graduation, I was assigned to Xiangcheng and worked as a traffic officer directly under Xiangcheng Station. Not long after, I encountered the Wenxi Fire. My family was razed to the ground, causing heavy losses. The family fled to the suburbs. It is estimated that the house at home has not been rebuilt yet. After repairing it, I don’t know how to spend this year.”

"If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. You don't have to worry too much. Everything will be fine." Luo Yao comforted him.

"Thank you, are you staying in the mountain city this time?" Shen Yu asked.

"It's not decided yet. I will definitely go back after the new year. Things in Jiangcheng need to be explained. Whether he can stay is still unknown." Luo Yao is not sure whether he can stay in Shancheng. Before the official appointment is made, This is hard to say.

"As for your arrangement, I heard Secretary Mao say that he was going to set up a secret code deciphering team. You must be one of the members of this team. Yardley is the consultant of the team, and his main task is to cultivate a group of code decipherers. and talent in deciphering.”

"I heard Director Dai say this. He has such an idea, but there are no regulations yet on how to do it." Luo Yao nodded.

"Although the main task of this team is not to decipher Japan's secret telecommunications, it is very important. You must fight for the position of team leader!" Shen Yu reminded.

"Why?"

"Nowadays, in the military, secret code deciphering is mainly concentrated in the Special Technology Research Office of the Military Commission, which has gathered experts and talents in this field from various departments such as military command, central command, post and telecommunications, finance, and transportation. Wei Daming is the deputy director of this technical research room. In fact, Responsible for the work of deciphering secret codes, but this military technical room is directly managed by the Chairman's Attendant's Office..." Shen Yu provided Luo Yao with information on the deciphering of secret codes in the government.

Luo Yao understood the meaning of Shen Yu's words. The code deciphered by the military technical room had little to do with the military commander, and it was difficult for the military commander to share the information.

Dai Yunong wanted to find another way and set up a department within the military command similar to code detection and deciphering to serve the military commander himself.

Although Wei Daming was a military commander, he was involved in too many things and could not focus on one aspect.

The military commander's talents in deciphering secret codes are somewhat lacking. On the contrary, the central commander's office recommended several relevant talents to enter the military technical room, and they all achieved very good results.

The grievances between the military commanders and the central commanders have been going on for a long time. Naturally, they have to compete in all aspects. Xiaobo spent a lot of money to bring Yardley back from the United States. This factor may not be without this factor.

In fact, Luo Yao is still thinking about returning to work in Jiangcheng. Although deciphering the secret code is of great significance and important, how can it be as satisfying as fighting the Japanese invaders on the front line?

"I will try my best."

"Take a look, what else do you need? I'll send someone to bring it to you later?" Shen Yu saw that it was getting late and it was time for him to go back, so he stood up and asked.

"Can you prepare some manuscript paper for me?"

"Manuscript paper, how much do you want?"

"The more, the better." Luo Yao said.

"What are you doing, writing a book and biography?" Shen Yu asked strangely.

"Mr. Yardley brought a lot of materials, all in English. I selected some of them and translated them into Chinese as materials for our talent training." Luo Yao explained.

"Okay, Xiaoyao, this is a good thing. Based on this alone, Boss Dai will let you be the team leader!" Shen Yu said in surprise.

"I'm just looking for something to do." Luo Yao smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll get you as much manuscript paper as you want, as long as it's enough!" Shen Yu promised, patting his chest. He, as the deputy chief of the General Affairs Department, still has this little power.

"Then I have no other requirements."

"Okay, then I'll leave first. See you in the evening."

…

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Gong Hui's room was arranged next to Luo Yao's.

Gong Hui could only move one arm, so it was difficult to clean the house. When Luo Yao sent Shen Yu away, he saw her alone in the room, making the bed with one hand.

"Let me help you." Luo Yao couldn't stand it anymore and walked in directly, reaching out to help her tidy up.

"Thanks."

"You sit down and rest for a while, I will do the rest." Luo Yao said, "I told Shen Yu that he would send us an extra quilt and a charcoal stove later. It's cold at night, especially you women. Afraid of the cold."

"I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow and see the doctor. I think this thread can be unsealed..."

After making the bed, Luo Yao brought Gong Hui's suitcase over, opened it, and hung up her clothes. Everyone in the room had a bamboo wardrobe, which was very spacious.

Then there is a desk lamp on the desk, prepared pencils and manuscript paper in the drawer, a new washbasin on the washstand, towels, and a warm kettle.

The drinking cup was a custom-made commemorative enamel cup from the day when the military unification was established. The quality was very good. Luo Yao was a student at the time and did not distribute it.

Now this is considered a replacement. Since this thing has been distributed to individuals for personal use, it will naturally not be collected again.

"I'll get you some hot water so you can soak your feet in the evening and feel more comfortable." After finishing all this, Luo Yao picked up the empty thermos bottle and said.

"Thank you, cousin."

"There's no need to call me cousin here. Everyone knows that you and I are just colleagues." Luo Yao corrected.

"oh……"

"Secretary Mao is going to meet Mr. Yardley tonight. You can come too." Luo Yao walked to the door and remembered, and turned back to Gong Hui.

"I won't go to the reception banquet. It's not suitable for you, a table full of grown men, and me, a woman." Gong Huiwan refused.

Luo Yao nodded without forcing it: "That's fine, I'll have dinner delivered to your room later."

…

The reception banquet in the evening was very sumptuous, but Mao Qiwu came a little late. He didn't come until seven o'clock. He must have been too busy with things.

According to Chinese custom, Yardley was invited to face the door, which is the seat of honor. Then Mao Qiwu sat on the left of Yardley, Luo Yao on the right, and Shen Yu with his back to the door.

Four people prepared almost a dozen dishes. Yardley had never seen such a battle before, and he suddenly looked a little dazzled.

The boiled rice wine was served, and I drank it in small cups. I don’t even remember how much I drank.

Mao Qiwu and Shen Yuna both have good drinkers.

Yardley is also a drinker.

Although drinking rice wine is a bit uncomfortable, it will be fine once you get used to it. It's all wine anyway, and everyone will be welcome, and after several rounds of toasts.

Yardley felt dizzy.

When Chinese people drink, they pay attention to drinking in the right place. As for what "drinking in place" means, it depends on the situation in each place.

Anyway, Yardley was so drunk that he passed out in the end.

As for Mao Qiwu, Shen Yu and Luo Yao, they didn't have any trouble at all and were very energetic.

After sending Yardley back to the room to rest, the three of them continued to have a drink, and drank each glass until midnight, and the feast was finally over.
