The secret war is silent

Luo Yao had a bad premonition about today's meeting, which was probably related to the "New Fourth Army" in the Jiangnan area.

Intuition can be really scary sometimes.

As expected, the topic of today's meeting was directed at the "New Fourth Army", and Luo Yao came with his ears.

Because the meeting is subject to confidentiality rules, no one is allowed to record it except the stenographer.

Originally, the content of today's meeting was contrary to the current general principle of "the Kuomintang and the Communist Party unite to resist Japan", but these people are a little crazy in order to "anti-communist".

The invaders are still wreaking havoc on the country, but they want to eliminate dissidents first. How far can such a political party and government go?

Even if Luo Yao didn't have the memory of two lifetimes as a human being, he couldn't help but feel a trace of contempt.

Since ancient times, the world has been dominated by those who win the hearts of the people.

The Kuomintang was originally a patchwork political party, with corruption running rampant within the party. The party was united and opposed by those who were different. However, as the leader, there was no selfishness at all, no pattern at all, and his fate was already doomed.

Luo Yao has also learned shorthand, and his memory is not bad, but he doesn't need to show it off.

He also knew that some things couldn't be changed, but if he didn't do it, he might have an uneasy conscience. Anyway, he just wanted to have peace of mind.

Maybe a miracle can happen.

The main focus of this meeting was to summarize and report on various information such as the combat power, weapons equipment, troop strength, and the economic and military capabilities of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army.

It was obvious that the old man was already planning to use force to solve the military preparations of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. From the secret talks with the Japanese army, he judged that the Japanese army was temporarily unable to launch a new round of large-scale offensive.

This is a rare window period.

The growing Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army showed strong combat power on the battlefield. The Hundred Regiment Battle completely exposed the true strength of the Eighth Route Army. In just a few years, the Eighth Route Army has grown from tens of thousands to nearly half a million people. scale.

The northward detachment of the New Fourth Army showed its sharp teeth in the central Jiangsu area...

This was so terrible that the old man could not sleep at night.

Luo Yao tried his best to maintain a listening posture and not let anyone notice his presence. He didn't want to be dragged out to reply.

Fortunately, there were many big shots at the meeting today, and it was not his turn as the deputy director of the military technical department to take the lead.

Even if it involves the business aspects of the military technical room, it is Wen Yuqing who comes to explain. After all, he is responsible for the business aspects.

The old man also recognized his ability in business, but he had lost in competitions with the code translation room in the past. That was because of management and talent issues.

Luo Yao's management made up for his shortcomings, and Wen Yuqing naturally made achievements that matched his in the position of director of the military technical department.

In fact, Luo Yao did this on purpose. Whether it was in the code interpretation room or in the military technical room, he tried to minimize his contribution to code deciphering and gave as much credit as possible to people like Chi An. As a leader, he As long as a person achieves results, he will not lack a share of the credit.

Therefore, even Dai Yunong probably didn't know that Luo Yao's ability in deciphering and compiling secret codes was far greater than that of Chi An and others. He played a key role in many tasks.

Luo Yao actually did this because he didn't want to expose his abilities too much. He was not afraid of being discovered. He had done enough work that he should do, which would make him more open-minded and broad-minded.

In fact, Luo Yao's strategy when he arrived at the military technical room was to keep a low profile and bide his time. He actually didn't need too many merits now, as long as he had improved his qualifications. Anyway, as long as he was in the military technical room, he would have no shortage of credit.

And he doesn't need to work hard. It is the best way to stabilize his current position.

The meeting lasted for nearly two hours, which made Luo Yao, who had gotten up early, very hungry.

But the old man was still listening to the report carefully, and no one dared to ask any inappropriate questions at this time.

I could only hold back forcefully.

"According to the information we currently have, the headquarters of the New Fourth Army is in the Yunling area. It has three columns. The first column is based in..."

Let’s start talking about specific information.

Luo Yao couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing this. This information was so detailed, it was almost like seeing it in the headquarters of the New Fourth Army.

From the commander of the army, the strength of the troops, the proportion of weapons, the range of the station, and the number, everything is known so clearly.

Luo Yao's mind was shaking wildly. Either there was a traitor within the New Fourth Army, or the confidential location of the military headquarters had been infiltrated by Kuomintang agents.

Otherwise, how could there be such detailed information.

This situation must be notified to Lao Wu immediately, and cannot be communicated through Jiang Xiaoyu, because with her intelligence, it is easy to analyze the source of the information, which may expose her identity.

The meeting lasted until about one o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, Shangqing Temple prepared lunch, otherwise many people would go back hungry and not know when they would be able to eat.

"Deputy Director Luo, summoned by the committee!"

Luo Yao finished his lunch and was about to wipe his mouth and leave. Unexpectedly, the old man's adjutant ran over.

Luo Yao didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly followed the adjutant to the old man's office in Shangqing Temple.

The old man also just had lunch. He is over half a century old and his food is not as good as that of young people. He does not eat much at each meal and is not extravagant. He basically eats local dishes. However, he can cook for the old man. The chef carefully selects the dishes. Although the dishes are not expensive, they are also quite exquisite and suit his appetite.

The old man is a Christian and occasionally eats Western food, but basically he eats more Chinese food and a glass of boiled water after the meal.

I rarely drink coffee or tea, and the most I drink is boiled water.

In terms of life, the old man's simplicity is a model.

He was not the only one summoned, he also met Wen Yuqing, the confidential director Mao Zongxiang, and the old man's Wendan think tank, Chen Xun'en.

Soon, Luo Yao understood what the old man had summoned them for. It was for the next military operation against the "Communist Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army."

The military technical room will temporarily shift its focus to deciphering the secret communications of the two armies, so that the national army can keep track of the movements of the two armies at any time.

This matter cannot go away. The second research and translation team of the military technical room originally had a task in one direction, but now it is just to strengthen this aspect.

In the six months since the establishment of the Military Technical Room, there have been many achievements in deciphering Japanese secret codes, but the Chinese secret codes are much weaker, whether it is Wang Puppet or other military leaders in the country, not to mention the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. , that’s very little progress.

In the past, before the Military Technical Laboratory was established, the pattern was almost the same. But now that the Military Technical Laboratory has been established, Chinese code deciphering cannot be lame.

Especially since the old man decided to take action against the New Fourth Army, his demands in this regard will naturally be raised.

It was impossible to muddle through.

This time Mao Zongxiang seized the opportunity. Although he could not take care of the work of the military technical room, he pushed Wei Daming out.

Wei Daming was also the leader of the advisory group of the Military Technical Office. He suggested that Wei Daming should take the lead and assemble the forces of military command, central command and other special service organizations to concentrate on deciphering the secret communications of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army for a period of three months.

If there is no progress within three months, the research team will be disbanded.

This was an intrusion into the existing power structure of the military technical room. In order to compete for power and gain, Mao Zongxiang had completely formed an alliance with Wei Daming.

Wen Yuqing knew that he had no power to stop it, so he could only agree. Luo Yao had no excuse to stop it, not to mention that if he objected, then he would have to take over the matter.

This is not a good thing. If it is not done well, it will bring great trouble to oneself. Since Wei Daming came up with this idea, let him do it.

As long as someone is in the military technical room, he can control the overall situation.

Dai Yunong obviously knew about this matter, but he did not tell himself. It is still unknown whether he has doubts about himself or has other plans.

However, it would be difficult for him to object to this matter in front of the old man, and he would have to readily agree to it, but in front of Dai Yunong, he really had to make his attitude clear.

As soon as they came out of Shangqing Temple, Luo Yao and Wen Yuqing exchanged opinions for a while and then drove to No. 19 Luojiawan.

"You Ning, I knew you were coming as soon as I guessed it." Dai Yunong smiled and said hello as soon as he saw Luo Yao.

"Sir, should Director Wei say hello to me before doing this? I'm not prepared at all..."

"You Ning, Wei Daming told me about this. I agree. I think you will agree even if you know it. After all, this is not a bad thing for you or the military technical room." Dai Yunong explained.

"However, Director Wei is not very particular about his work and is not open-minded. I'm worried that he will act recklessly in the military technical room. When the time comes, I will be left to clean up the mess for him!"

"Director Wei is not as unbearable as you said. You Ning, he is your elder after all. It's not like you don't know what's going on right now. If he fails this time, will there be another chance in the future?"

"Sir, what are you..."

"See through but don't tell him. If you don't give him a chance, he will be remembered every day, and precautions will not be a thing. Isn't it better to just let him give up completely?" Dai Yunong said.

“Students understand.”

"As long as you understand, go ahead, but don't miss the principal's important event. I believe you still have this pattern." Dai Yunong said.

"Yes, sir." Luo Yao nodded in agreement.

Luo Yao understood that this was just Dai Yunong's rhetoric. He knew very well Dai Yunong's ambitions for the military technical room. He wanted to turn the military technical room into the military technical room of the military commander. However, Luo Yao did not do that. He kept a low profile and followed Wen Yuqing's cooperation also has this meaning.

If he once takes control of the military technical room, Dai Yunong will definitely force him to let everyone in the military technical room join the army.

In this way, the consequences are obvious, and he will not be able to escape Dai Yunong's control.

He now supports Wei Daming, an ambitious man, to compete with him. This is also a warning, or a spur. Listen to me, Dai Yunong, do things for me, and don't have any unrealistic ideas.

Watching Luo Yao leave, Dai Yunong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a very complicated color seemed to flash in his eyes.
