Chapter 197 Report

Things in Hanoi are very complicated.

Although there were hints from the old man, several attempts failed and the other party became defensive, making it difficult for him to take action again.

Although this Wang Zhaoming's character is not very good, he came here after a big storm. Didn't he encounter many assassinations in the past? And he himself is an expert in this field.

It’s difficult to kill him!

But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. He, Dai Yunong, is the old man's loyal dog. This is the key moment for him to contribute. If he can eliminate this old enemy in one fell swoop, then the old man will not be in such a dilemma now.

You can't fight, you can't fight, you can't make peace!

This Wang Zhaoming has raised the banner of "peace". If he has any such thoughts, I am afraid that the entire Chongqing rule will fall apart in an instant.

Even if there are voices of "harmony" internally, they are only talked about in private. Who dares to say it publicly?

Moreover, even if we want "peace", it cannot be peace under the current conditions. It would be too humiliating, and we still have to have some backbone.

Also, the war has reached this point, and most of China has been lost. China has not yet officially declared war on Japan. This is very meaningful.

The old man is good at leaving himself a way out.

After returning from Hong Kong, Dai Yunong was not idle. He held several meetings in succession, military and intelligence, and even went to two places for secret inspections.

The backlog of official duties also needs to be dealt with. He is now wearing multiple hats and has to be ready for the old man's call at any time. The intensity of this work is not something that ordinary people can do.

…

On the 19th of Luojiawan, at the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, Dai Yunong's office was still lit.

Mao Qiwu got out of the car, took a look, took two steps towards his office, then came back and walked towards Dai Yunong's office.

"Enter!"

"Boss." Mao Qiwu can see Dai Yunong at any time, as long as Dai is in his office.

"Have you been drinking?" Dai Yunong, who smelled the smell of alcohol on Mao Qiwu's body and lowered his head to review documents, opened his mouth and asked directly without raising his head.

"Well, I had a drink with Mr. Yardley."

"How do you feel about this code-breaking expert from the United States?" Dai Yunong finished writing the last word, put on the pen cover, and raised his head and asked.

"This is my first time meeting him. He has a straightforward personality and talks about everything. Generally speaking, this person is not too difficult to deal with." Mao Qiwu nodded.

"That's good, you can't invite a man over for yourself, then we can't afford to serve him." Dai Yunong chuckled, "Where's Luo Yao, what did he say?"

"He said that this American has a lot of bad habits. Basically, he has all the bad habits that men have, but he still has some skills and can help us at this stage."

"Is that what he said?" Dai Yunong was surprised. Chinese people have always been "foreign-phobic" towards foreigners, and generally do not dare to offend foreigners by making random criticisms.

"Yes, the exact words."

"This kid really dares to say that I'm afraid of finding someone who will be submissive in front of this American." Dai Yunong's eyes lit up.

"I saw him arguing with this Yardley at the dinner table. Yardley even apologized when he couldn't stand up to him."

"oh……"

"Boss, in English, I know a few words and simple greetings, but Luo Yao communicated with Yade in English throughout the whole process, so he spoke easily. If it weren't for the cooperation of Deputy Section Chief Shen, then It’s embarrassing.” Mao Qiwu praised.

Dai Yunong chuckled: "So, I'm letting you go to this reception banquet. Firstly, I want you to help me get a feel for the situation, and secondly, I want to avoid embarrassment."

"Being able to share the boss's worries is Qi Wu's blessing."

"What I mean is, have you told Luo Yao?" Dai Yunong asked.

"As I said, he agrees very much and has already done some related work." Mao Qiwu nodded.

"Oh, what did he do?"

"Didn't Mr. Yardley bring some relevant information from the United States? He is sorting, classifying and translating this information." Mao Qiwu said, "And some of it has been translated."

"So fast?" Dai Yunong was very surprised.

"After he got these information, he started to do related work. You don't know, on the way from Haiphong to Diancheng, he never got off the train once. He only slept four hours a day and spent the rest of the time on the train. I saw that the materials brought by the translator Yardley have been translated into a finished manuscript, which has thousands of pages." Mao Qiwu said, he was quite impressed when he saw the thousands of pages of translated materials.

"Okay, okay, this is the talent of the party-state. It is much better than those who talk about their achievements all day long!" Dai Yunong sighed after hearing this.

"He said that Yardley brought a lot of information and it was very scattered. Some of it was Japanese-related secret codes that he had deciphered in the Military Intelligence Bureau in the past. Many of them were code books. Although they had expired long ago, But it still has a certain reference value, because the existing Japanese military communication codes were developed on the original basis. By studying and researching these materials, we can master the rules of writing Japanese communication codes, which is extremely critical. Yes." Mao Qiwu said.

"Okay, okay, great!" Dai Yunong stood up excitedly, walked around the room, and said "ok" three times in a row.

"Luo Yao said that if he had to translate so much information by himself, he would not be able to complete it until the year of the monkey and the horse and the moon. He hopes that the bureau can send him a few specialized translators to help him complete the compilation of these materials. Also, it is best to do it again. Send two people who are proficient in Japanese, preferably Japanese language experts.”

"This request is very reasonable. Do we have such talents in the military?"

"Boss, it's hard to find such talents. Although there are some people who are proficient in Japanese in our military system, they are all in important positions and cannot be transferred at will. What Luo Yao wants is not just ordinary people. It's difficult."

"It's hard to find it. If we don't have one internally, then go out and look for it. Aren't there many universities in mountain cities? Don't these universities not have this type of talent?"

"There are some in universities, but deciphering secret codes is a confidential job and not just anyone can do it." Mao Qiwu said, "It was Luo Yao who came up with an idea."

"If you have an idea, just say it. Why are you hiding it?"

"Second some people from the military technical department. These people are familiar with code deciphering and do not need political review. They can start working as soon as they come. There is no need for more. Two or three people will be enough in the early stage. We are recruiting three or five people related to English and Japanese. If you are professional, lead the area so that there are enough people." Mao Qiwu said.

"This boy, you are asking me to poach him." After hearing this, Dai Yunong couldn't help but froze for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

"Then boss, do you want to dig or not?" Mao Qiwu asked in a low voice.

Dai Yunong hesitated.

The military technical room was attached below the old man's attendant's office. Mao Zongxiang, the confidential director of the attendant's office, was a close confidant of the old man. He was not an easy person to talk to. It would be difficult to poach people from under him, even on secondment.

As for Yardley's matter, although he has reported it to the old man, it is still unclear how much effect Yardley alone can play.

Moreover, Dai Yunong is too incompetent to alarm the old man just for this matter.

"First find some innocent college students for Luo Yao. Let's talk about the loan later." Dai Yunong was also a little embarrassed. He couldn't stretch his hand too long to avoid suspicion from the old man. But Er Chen was watching eagerly, waiting for him to make a mistake.

"OK."

"That Gong Hui was injured, how is the injury?" Dai Yunong asked with concern.

"It's nothing serious. It's just a cut on my arm. It's temporarily difficult to move my left arm. According to Luo Yao, it's recovering well." Mao Qiwu said.

"Well, that's good. You can keep an eye on Luo Yao first. It's almost the Chinese New Year and I have a lot of things to do, so I won't see him." Dai Yunong ordered.

"Okay, boss."

…

Mao Qiwu came out of Dai Yunong's office and went to his own office. Passing by the duty room in Room A, he saw a man sitting at the desk writing quickly.

Suddenly he remembered that this young man named Li Fu and Luo Yao were classmates in the special training class. The two had a good relationship, and they seemed to be tied with the other one for the top three.

"Li Fu."

"Director Mao." Li Fu, who was concentrating on writing under the lamp, looked up and saw Mao Qiwu. He was startled and stood up quickly.

"Don't be nervous, I saw someone in the duty room, come and take a look." Mao Qiwu said warmly.

"Director Mao, sit down and let me make you a cup of tea?" Li Fu quickly pushed the chair behind him and greeted Mao Qiwu.

Mao Qiwu waved his hand and asked: "No, I'm not thirsty. If I'm on duty today, do I not have to be on duty during the day tomorrow?"

"Yes, Director Mao."

"Your classmate Luo Yao came to Shancheng, did you know?"

"Brother has come to the mountain city?" Li Fu asked in shock, his eyes widening.

"What, you don't know yet?"

"Director Mao, I can't get out here, how do you know?" Li Fu smiled.

Mao Qiwu remembered that when these newcomers from the temporary training class arrived at the bureau headquarters to work, they were not allowed to go out unless they were on business. Even for rest, they could only stay in the dormitory and within the scope of their activities, even if they wanted to buy something. No matter what daily necessities, at least two people must go out together.

No single person is allowed to go out.

"Do you want to meet your eldest brother Luo Yao?"

"Yes, of course I do, but Director Mao, the rules in this bureau..."

Li Fu works in Room A, the core of the bureau's headquarters. Many of the core secrets within the military command are in Room A, and the rules are much stricter than those in other departments.

"I have special permission to send someone to take you there." Mao Qiwu said.

"Really, thank you, Director Mao. Then can I pick up Zishan from the International Science and Technology Department of the Second Division? The three of us are sworn brothers. I can't go, but he can't go?"

"You are quite loyal. I can't make the decision on the Second Division, but I can call their director. If he agrees, there will be no problem on my side." Mao Qiwu chuckled.

"Thank you, Director Mao, thank you, Director Mao!" Li Fu thanked Luo Yao very much. He had been separated from Luo Yao for more than half a year, and he really missed him. He didn't know what he had experienced in the past six months, so he wanted to ask carefully this time.

Li Fu's level could not touch the core secrets, so he naturally did not know that Luo Yao was the famous "River God" in the military.
