Chapter 467 Night Talk
Dai Yunong's character is difficult to understand. You could say he is greedy, but he is not interested in "yellow and white" things.
You might say he's not greedy, but he wants to get involved in any business that can bring in money.
He was involved in smuggling and selling opium...
Think about it, how can a state violence agency not make money by doing this business, and it can make much more than those sneaky people.
Of course, he didn't dare to go too far. If he was caught, he would be unlucky.
However, his own life is not considered luxurious. He has purchased a lot of properties in the mountain city, including several villas and private residences.
But in fact, part of it was for safety reasons. He actually didn't have many opportunities to live in these houses. Most of them were used to entertain some good government officials who came to the mountain city.
A person who is greedy for money does not live a luxurious life for himself, or he has lofty ideals.
The second type is political ambition.
There is no doubt that Dai Yunong belongs to the second type. His current position is feared by everyone and hated by everyone.
He can only gain a sense of security by constantly climbing to a higher position.
How can this be done?
In addition to showing great loyalty to the old man, you must also have this strength that can make you indispensable.
Therefore, Dai Yunong relied on these "black money" to continuously expand his military commander's team. He could not support the growing military commander's team with the special funds given by the Ministry of Finance and the old man every month.
Therefore, I naturally don’t like the extravagance and waste of my subordinates.
Seeing the red carpet at the gate, Dai Yunong's eyes showed a slight expression of displeasure, but it quickly disappeared.
He only informed before departure.
The preparation time is limited, this red carpet is probably used before...
The lobby on the first floor is open and is a work area without any partitions. It is clear at a glance who is doing what and whether there is a desertion.
Compared with the one where one person has an office, it is much simpler and rougher. Although the privacy is better, there is an independent space for one person, so no one will know if you are lazy.
This kind of open office can actually improve work efficiency.
"Director, the conditions here are limited and we cannot arrange separate offices. Therefore, everyone basically works together in the living room, with a screen in the middle so as not to interfere with each other. At first, the research and translation team felt it was too noisy. Later, As time goes by, everyone gets used to it, and no one cares about anyone else when it comes to work anyway..."
Dai Yunong nodded frequently and expressed satisfaction.
"This is Dr. Huo, the deputy leader of our team."
"Dr. Huo, hello." Dai Yunong naturally knew Huo Tian. Of course, he knew her, but it was just a nod of acquaintance and no chance for in-depth discussion.
Of course, Huo Tian didn't want to get involved with a spy chief. The department he was in was regarded as the core of the party-state, and he couldn't afford to grovel to Dai Yunong.
At the beginning, Dai Yunong sent someone to contact Huo Tian. After all, he wanted to decipher secret codes within the military and needed talents like Huo Tian.
But when Huo Tian was in the secret inspection station, he was well paid, so there was no need to switch to the military command, so he naturally refused.
"Hello, Mr. Dai." Although Huo Tian didn't like Dai Yunong very much, he still greeted him politely. He and Dai Yunong had the same military rank. Even Dai Yunong's current official military rank was only colonel, and he just wore the rank of major general.
"In this battle of Xiangcheng, Dr. Huo made a great contribution. He deciphered the Japanese secret messages twice and turned the tide of the war." Dai Yunong smiled slightly and did not hesitate to praise him.
"Mr. Dai is so complimentary. This is the credit of all the members of the 'X' team. I just did my part of what I should do." Huo Tian said humbly.
Dai Yunong nodded.
"Dr. Huo, please."
Huo Tian knew that the purpose of Dai Yunong's visit today was to meet Luo Yao, and he was just meeting Luo Yao incidentally. There was no need for him to join in without being wise, as that would be annoying.
Luo Yao led Dai Yunong around, introduced the division of work of the 'X' team and the current progress of related work, and then went up to the second floor.
"Director, please come in, this is my territory." Luo Yao smiled. The living room downstairs was used for other purposes, so his study became a place for daily receptions and meetings.
He doesn't have many people coming here, they are all his own, and there is no need to deal with them in particular. On the contrary, he is very free.
"Is this your office?"
"Yes, director, this is not only my office, but also a living room, a conference room, and a place where I sleep at night."
"Well, not bad, not bad." Dai Yunong nodded frequently, very satisfied with Luo Yao's simple life style.
After all, he is the student who came out of the temporary training class, and his favorite student should play this "exemplary" role.
"Director, please sit down."
Luo Yao poured Dai Yunong a glass of boiled water.
Dai Yunong doesn't smoke and likes to drink boiled water. I don't know if he learned this from the old man.
As a student, Dai Yunong is really a "cruel-hearted" person. He learns from the old man's way of life in every aspect. Even when he wants a wife, he follows the standard of "madam".
"You guys go out first, You Ning and I have something to say." Dai Yunong picked up the water glass, took a sip, and waved to Wang Hanguang and others who came in.
After hearing what Dai Yunong said, Luo Yao also gave Li Fu and others a look.
For a moment.
Everyone else in the study had retreated, leaving only Luo Yao and Dai Yunong.
"You Ning, come and sit." A smile appeared on Dai Yunong's serious face, and he gently patted the sofa next to him and ordered.
"Yes, Director."
Luo Yao came over and stood on Dai Yunong's right hand with some restraint. Of course he straightened his back and did not dare to slack off at all.
"This time you came to Xiangcheng, I strongly recommended it. I had a quarrel with Minister Chen about this. Fortunately, you did a very good job. In the battle of Xiangcheng, you played a huge role in the two critical moments. Turn the tide of the battle around and ensure victory."
"Director, you are exaggerating. I'm a little embarrassed about the students you mentioned." Luo Yao said with a blush.
"This is not what I said. It was mentioned by Commander Xue Boling in his report to the chairman of the committee." Dai Yunong said, "The chairman of the committee is very happy and said that despite the small number of people in your 'X' group, it can be as powerful as an army." Woolen cloth."
"Thank you Chairman for the compliment!" Luo Yao quickly stood up and said solemnly.
"Sit down, sit down. I'm coming to Xiangcheng this time. Firstly, I'm here for a meeting, and secondly, I want to take some time to come and see you." Dai Yunong said, "The Japanese have now classified you as a dangerous person."
"I?"
"I have received reliable information that the Japanese military intelligence department has a ranking list of dangerous elements. You are already on the list. Next, they may plan a series of assassinations or assassinations against you. You must be careful." Dai Yunong said seriously and seriously road.
"I have been mentally prepared for this for a long time. As long as I don't go to the Japanese war zone, it's not that easy to kill me in my own territory."
"For this failure, Okamura Neiji was held accountable by Tokyo, but his position was not removed. Obviously, this person's connections and abilities in the Japanese army are beyond doubt. We judge that if Okamura Neiji continues In the position of Commander Guangguan of the 11th Army, he will definitely plan to attack Xiangcheng, so the topic of this military meeting will focus on this issue." Dai Yunong said.
"Director, do you want to fight again?"
"I'm sure I'll be beaten, but it depends on how I'm beaten." Dai Yunong chuckled, "Do you want to go back?"
"No, I am a soldier and obey military orders."
"You won't be able to stay here much longer. Team 'X' may have to withdraw soon, and orders should come out soon. You should sort out the work at hand, and it may be handed over to the Ninth War Zone." Dai Yunong said.
"Transfer means handing over the Japanese military-related secret codes that we currently have and deciphered to the intelligence department of the Ninth Theater Command?" Luo Yao asked, "Why not give it to the Xiangcheng Station of Military Command?"
"You, don't just think about our military commander. This is also based on actual combat considerations. The deciphered information needs to be transferred to another hand, which will inevitably affect the timeliness. This was also proposed by Chief Xue, and the Chairman agreed." Dai Yunong said.
"Yes, I understand. When will it be handed over?"
"The order should be issued soon. After the handover, you can almost return to the mountain city." Dai Yunong said.
"Director, is the 'X' team disbanded on the spot?" Luo Yao hesitated and asked.
Dai Yunong chuckled: "I thought you wouldn't ask this question."
"Director, I am the leader of this group. If I don't ask, when the people below ask, I don't know how to answer?"
"For the 'X' team, there are no specific arrangements yet, but someone has suggested to the Chairman that you retain your team. Judging from the usage this time, you can provide powerful intelligence at critical moments and have a miraculous effect in turning the tide of the war. It would be a pity if it were to be disbanded, so I suggest the chairman keep it and requisition it at any time after the next war." Dai Yunong said slowly.
"This is a way." Luo Yao said.
"Do you agree with this suggestion?" Dai Yunong asked.
"I think it would be a pity if the 'X' group was disbanded. After this month of working together and getting along with each other, a tacit understanding has been formed. It would be good if it could be retained and formed into a routine." Luo Yao He considered his words and said.
"Have you never thought of going further?"
"Go further?" Luo Yao naturally understood what Dai Yunong meant, but at this moment he could only pretend to be dumbfounded and pretend that he didn't understand.
"Forget it, in this position, you probably don't dare to think about it, and you won't think about it." Dai Yunong did not continue the topic, "I haven't had dinner yet, You Ning, as the master, you shouldn't invite Shall I eat?"
"Of course, director, what do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you?" Luo Yao almost wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he asked the kitchen to prepare it in advance, otherwise, he would be blind at this moment.
"The duck is the one you gave to Commander Xue, is there any?" Dai Yunong smiled playfully.
"Yes, yes, the kitchen happened to buy two today and marinated them. I originally planned to eat them tomorrow. It was just a coincidence for you."
"Haha..." Dai Yunong laughed.
Today is Children’s Day. I wish the children a happy holiday and ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
