Chapter 193 Finally Arrived at the Mountain City

Deciphering secret codes is Yardley's specialty and his interest, otherwise he would not have made outstanding achievements in this field.

Therefore, someone can communicate with him professionally and even inspire him to draw inferences. It feels like meeting a long-lost old friend and having a drink together.

Therefore, Yardley also forgot that he came to Luo Yao for a drink.

In the entire hotel, the only person he could talk to was Luo Yao.

The other one is Gong Hui. Although he can also say a few words, he also appreciates it, but he also sees that Gong Hui and Luo Yao have a close relationship.

Although he is a womanizer, flirtatious but not obscene, and he did some homework before coming here. Eastern women are different from Western women.

Especially serious women cannot be flirted with casually.

As for that kind of romantic place, it doesn't matter. Everyone is talking about "money" anyway. It's a good day, but if you don't know anyone when you walk on the road tomorrow, there is no psychological burden.

"Luo, the cigarettes you smoke are pretty good. Can you give me a few packs?" Yardley finished smoking the cigarettes he brought with him, so he picked up Luo Yao's San Pao Tai. After smoking one, he felt that it was very good. He asked for it.

"Okay, I'll get you one later." Luo Yao said cheerfully. Between men, smoking and drinking are tools to bring them closer.

"Okay." Yardley suddenly smiled.

He felt that Luo Yao was his true Chinese friend, and the "Xiao" who arranged for him to leave the United States seemed a bit stern and too careful.

…

In fact, Dai Yunong didn't think clearly about how to arrange Yardley's return. After all, there was a telecommunications department within the military command, and the director, Wei Daming, was also quite accomplished in deciphering secret codes.

Although Wei Daming also supports inviting Yardley to come to China, if an organization such as a cryptographic code deciphering center is established, who will take the lead?

Wei Daming had this idea.

After all, this is to learn the most advanced deciphering technology from the Americans. Once you master the technology, you will be authoritative, and no one will be able to shake your position in the military command in the future.

However, code deciphering is a confidential department and cannot be disclosed to the outside world, and it requires concentration. Can Wei Daming devote his body and mind to it without reservation?

Obviously it can't be done.

And no one knows now whether this American named Yardley is really capable and whether he is easy to serve. However, there is good news.

This American is quite honest, and actually brought to China the information he collected on the deciphering of secret codes and the various levels of Japanese codebooks he had deciphered in the past.

There are many diplomatic-level codebooks used in Japan, which are of great reference value and cannot be bought with money.

This made Dai Yunong feel that it was worth spending the money. With a monthly salary of one thousand U.S. dollars, according to the current exchange ratio between French currency and U.S. dollars, one thousand U.S. dollars could be exchanged for more than 10,000 French currency.

How much salary did a general in the party-state receive per month? Before the war, it was 800, but during the war it was only 500. One Yardley was enough to support twenty generals.

How much money does Dai Yunong get in a month? Three hundred yuan.

"Boss, Yardley is here, how should we arrange it?" Dai Yunong was not in the mountain city, and Mao Qiwu was responsible for the coordination of all things.

Although there was Zheng Jiemin above Mao, he only served as the chief secretary, and his actual work was in the Second Department of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission. He was the deputy director and the director of the third division, in charge of military intelligence.

Wei Daming also works part-time in the Military Command Department, is the director of the Fourth Telecommunications Division, and has the military rank of major general.

Zheng also serves as the Secretary-General of the Military Unification Bureau, but he only appears during meetings and does not come to the Military Unification Bureau at all.

In the absence of Dai Yunong, the real person in charge of the Military Command Bureau was Mao Qiwu, the Deputy Director-Secretary. Mao Qiwu was not only Dai Yunong's confidant, but also a core figure in the Jiangshan Clique, and a figure with real power within the Military Command.

Within the military command, the only person who could know Dai Yunong's whereabouts in real time was Mao Qiwu, and no one else could.

When Dai Yunong had something to do, he would discuss it with Mao Qiwu as soon as possible. He knew that others might have second thoughts about him, but Mao Qiwu would not. They were in a relationship where both suffered losses and prospered.

Moreover, several core departments of the Military Command Headquarters are controlled by Jiangshan people. No matter how capable you are, it will be difficult for others to enter these departments.

"First arrange for him to live there. We must have a comprehensive consideration for his use." Dai Yunong said, "What I mean is to let this kid Luo Yao serve as his assistant, responsible for training in cryptographic communication and cryptographic code deciphering. Talents."

"Luo Yao, what about Jiangcheng?" Mao Qiwu asked in surprise.

"Jiangcheng just needs to select someone from his team to succeed him. The foundation and framework have been set up, so they can complete it step by step." Dai Yunong said, "It will take time for Jiangcheng District to recover, and they can also use this period It’s time to develop and strengthen yourself, just don’t forcefully give them tasks.”

"Then some work still needs to be done by him himself, right?"

"Well, we can consider asking him to go back to the mountain city after the new year to hand over the work and come back." Dai Yunong nodded.

"Then I'm going to look for a place to stay. We can't neglect this guest from the United States." Mao Qiwu said.

"Find one on the south bank of the Jialing River, preferably away from the downtown area. This will not only ensure Yardley's safety, but also help the concealment of our work." Dai Yunong ordered.

"Yes." Mao Qiwu agreed. No one knew how many Japanese spies had sneaked into Shancheng.

…

While Dai Yunong and Mao Qiwu were discussing how to settle their American friends from afar, Luo Yao and Yardley had already boarded the train to return home.

Although there is nothing unusual here in Haiphong, Tan Si said that he has been here for almost ten years and has established a good relationship with the locals here.

Luo Yao didn't ask how this relationship was established, but he vaguely heard Xiao Li mention that his adoptive father was respectfully called "Fourth Master" in Haiphong.

Even the local government departments have to give him three cents of face, let alone the local Chinese.

There was a conflict between the local Chinese forces. Mr. Tan was the mediator and no one dared not listen to his words. As for his status as military commander.

For him, it's OK to listen, but not listen.

Just having this identity is of great help in many aspects.

Luo Yao and his party were five people, and Tan Si booked three of the best sleeper carriages for them. Each carriage has two single beds, not bunk beds.

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is a narrow-gauge railway jointly built by China and France. Part of it is in Annan and part of it is in China. The total length is less than 900 kilometers.

Even at a full speed of 40 kilometers per hour, it would take at least a day and a night to reach Kunming.

But this is obviously impossible.

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway passes through thirty-four stations, large and small, and it takes at least ten minutes to stay at each station, and some may take more than that.

Even if you arrive on the hour, it still takes about two and a half days, which is why there are only two flights a week.

Under normal circumstances, it takes about three days.

Therefore, I can only sleep in a sleeper berth. If I sit on a hard seat for three days in a row, I may not even be able to straighten my waist.

For narrow-gauge railways, the carriages naturally cannot be too wide, and in addition to carrying passengers, this shuttle train also hauled four cargo loads. As the Japanese cut off China's coastline, the demand for transportation on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway suddenly increased, and it has become very busy. railway, there are plans to add a special freight train.

As for the French's work efficiency, it's hard to say when it can be put into operation. Anyway, domestic demand has surged, especially the demand for war supplies. There is only as much as they can eat.

In three days, Luo Yao had no intention of just sitting on the train and sleeping. Yardley compiled a basic course on code deciphering for him.

All in English.

Although this is not a necessary job for him, he feels that he is obliged to do it, and the process of organizing these courses is also a process of learning and understanding for himself.

Although Yardley has many shortcomings, he has real talents and learning, and he is willing to teach you these.

When they arrived in Shancheng, they probably wouldn't have time to do this, so Luo Yao cherished this precious time.

Tan Si bought him a room with Gong Hui, but from the moment he got on the bus, he got into a compartment with Yardley, and then started his own work of organizing and translating information.

Yardley was very relaxed and comfortable, drinking the Scotch brandy specially prepared for him by Luo Yao, chewing peanuts, crossing his legs, getting happy, and humming an American country tune.

However, his voice was really unflattering. Even if Luo Yao could bear it, another person would probably not be able to bear it and would kick him out.

Yardley admired and regretted Luo Yao, who was so incomprehensible to his style. He left such a beautiful girlfriend to accompany him, a bad old man. Of course, he also knew that the person Luo Yao really came to accompany was not He is the information, and you can ask him for information at any time. Some things cannot be accurately expressed by literal translation alone. You have to talk to the writer to find a more accurate or appropriate language.

Otherwise, even if the information is translated and the user gets it, it will be in vain if they cannot understand it?

Luo Yao wants to ensure the accuracy of the translated materials. Even if these materials are used to train military code-breaking talents, these talents may not be able to be used by me in the future.

Now that these talents are cultivated, they will inevitably be used to deal with the current biggest enemy, the Japanese invaders.

Even if it becomes a code deciphering center, which is the Chinese version of the black room that Yardley has always forgotten, it is mainly aimed at Japanese code communications.

What's more, if Dai Yunong really hands over the encryption code deciphering center to himself, then he will have much more autonomy and can do a lot of things.

Except for changing Gong Hui's dressing and returning to his own carriage, Luo Yao stayed in Yardley's carriage for the past three days. He slept less than four hours a day. When he woke up, he washed his face with cold water and started Dry.

When the train arrived at Kunming Station, Luo Yao actually wrote on thousands of pieces of manuscript paper, used up an ink bottle of ink, and bound them into a thick pile. Even Yardley was surprised.

For such a huge workload, it might take him a month to do it, but Luo Yao completed it in three days, and he did it very well.

Yardley not only had a good impression of Luo Yao, but also was in awe.

If all Chinese people were like Luo Yao, then this nation would be invincible.
