Chapter 984 What a Joke
At Huixian Tower, Luo Yao was the host and called Shen Yu, Wen Zishan, Deng Yi and others over to have a meal together.
After the dinner, Luo Yao and Yang Fan drove to Twilight Building.
Yu Jie came back to celebrate the New Year with Sister Xing, and would not return to Huangjiaoya until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
Therefore, if he wanted to see Yu Jie, he would naturally come to Twilight Tower.
He had come here to pay New Year's greetings before. This was not the first time he visited in the first month of the year. When Luo Yao arrived, Yu Jie happened to be at home.
Sister Xing went out, and the children also went out to play under the leadership of the eldest child. Yu Jie was taking a lunch break at home.
"You Ning, if you come here early and ask your wife to cook you some home-cooked dishes, we can have a drink together?"
"No, I've already eaten. I'm in Huixian Tower with Sixth Brother and the others."
Yu Jie nodded. He knew that he was not suitable to attend such an occasion, lest anyone think too much about it.
Luo Yao simply didn't call him. Otherwise, given their relationship, how could he not call his teacher when they were treating guests to dinner?
"Teacher, I'm here. I have something to ask you for help." Luo Yao said the matter directly. There was no need for him and Yu Jie to be polite before getting down to business.
"you say."
"I would like to ask you to identify a piece of handwriting." Luo Yao took a document bag from Yang Fan and handed it to Yu Jie. .
"Appraisal of handwriting, the military commander has many talents in this field, why do you still come to me?" Yu Jie asked.
"Someone has already identified it, but I don't believe it, so I want to ask for your help." Luo Yao explained.
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that it will be accurate. After all, there are people in this world who can imitate handwriting so well that it is so fake that it can even be unrecognizable to me," Yu Jie said.
"I believe the teacher can help me find an accurate answer." Luo Yao said.
"Okay, don't put your hat on me. I happen to be busy at home and you are trying to find something for me to do." Yu Jie chuckled and accepted the task given by Luo Yao.
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher. Just give me a call when you get the result." Luo Yao didn't stay long, explained the matter and left from Yu Jie's house.
…
"Deputy Director Luo, Colonel Zhang Liang from the Second Office of the Military and Political Department has been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as Luo Yao returned to the military technical room, secretary Xiao Wu came in to report.
"Okay, I get it. In five minutes, bring someone over." Luo Yao ordered. He had just come back and needed to take a break and sort out his thoughts.
"yes!"
five minutes later.
A National Army colonel in his thirties was invited into Luo Yao's office. Luo Yao was not wearing a military uniform, and Zhang Liang did not know his rank.
But he was sent to cooperate with Luo Yao's work. Regardless of Luo Yao's military rank, he was now his superior. Therefore, after hesitating, Zhang Liang raised his hand and gave Luo Yao a military salute.
"Zhang Liang from the staff department has met Deputy Team Leader Luo!"
Luo Yao suddenly realized that he seemed to be the deputy leader of the British Intelligence Liaison and Cooperation Group.
This is a temporary appointment, and the team leader is Yang Xuancen, director of the Second Department.
Yang Xuancen was in name only, and he was responsible for communicating and coordinating with the British intelligence agencies in real cooperative work.
"Hello, Section Chief Zhang." Luo Yao quickly returned the military salute, then extended his right hand and said, "Welcome, welcome."
"Deputy Director Luo is very polite. I hope Deputy Director Luo will take care of you in the future!" Zhang Liang was still a little reluctant to be sent here. He was working under a young man with junior qualifications, which made him a dignified Huangpu Six. The price has dropped a bit.
Seeing that the other party was younger than him and came out of the military training class, this made him even more disdainful.
But before coming here, Director Yang specially talked to him. He was here to assist Luo Yao in his work and asked him to put away his Huangpu-sheng arrogance and work seriously.
Don't think that just because you were born in Huangpu means you are great. Although you are young, you are still a top student in a serious university, someone who has made great contributions to the party and the country, and has won the two medals of Yunhui and Baoding.
This medal is not given out casually. It must be reviewed by the Civil Service Department of the Military Commission. Even if the old man wants to issue it, he has to go through the procedures. Otherwise, this medal will have no credibility and anyone can get it.
Those who can win medals must have made tangible achievements. Otherwise, some people would have been dissatisfied and opposed.
Although he felt that the other party's meritorious service was a fluke and luck, and he was a little unconvinced, he would not show it on the surface.
After all, he is a soldier, and soldiers must take obedience as their bounden duty. If he does not do his job well and is sent back, he will become a laughing stock.
"Ting Yang sent Section Chief Zhang, did you come here alone?" Luo Yao asked Zhang Liang to sit down.
"I'm the only one at the moment, but Director Yang said that if we need manpower, the Second Office can coordinate. There should be no problem with three or five people." Zhang Liang said.
"How is Section Chief Zhang's English proficiency?" Luo Yao nodded and asked.
"Well……"
"I understand, drink tea." Luo Yao chuckled. Facing the teacup on the coffee table, Luo Yao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"Thanks."
"How much does Section Chief Zhang know about the British intelligence agencies in Myanmar and India, and how much does he know about the personnel composition and intelligence officers of the British embassy in Shancheng?" Luo Yao continued to ask.
"The British embassy in Shancheng has a total of 137 people. The ambassador is Sir Carl, whose full name is Boulder Clark Carl. He is 54 years old..." Zhang Liang blurted out. He had obviously done his homework. The second office was in charge of intelligence. , Yang Xuancen would not send someone here who knew nothing, it would appear that he was not very good at selecting and employing people.
"Our negotiating counterpart is Major Berry, the deputy military attache of the embassy. He is the intelligence chief of the embassy and replaces the former Major Turner. How much do you know about this person?"
"Major Berry has just arrived in office not long ago. We don't know much about him. We know that his family is aristocrats in England. He is young and rich. He was transferred from India. He likes to hook up with famous ladies and is a romantic seed. "Zhang Liang said proudly.
He can be valued by Yang Xuancen, how can he be an ordinary person? Since he is transferred to a job, he naturally has to do his homework first.
"Does Section Chief Zhang have his own orderlies? Or do you drive yourself every time you travel?" Luo Yao asked.
"I have an orderly who is in the second hall. He came over here, but I didn't bring him over." Zhang Liang said.
"If you don't mind, I would like to assign you a driver and bodyguard. There will always be some dangers when you follow me, so you must take precautions. In addition, you need a translator. I can also provide it, and so can you. However, our cooperation with the British is top secret, so you have to ensure that your translation can not leak secrets or pass our review. Of course, if your English level can communicate directly with the other party, it does not matter. " Luo Yao said slowly.
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment. He was a little uncomfortable with Luo Yao's way of speaking, but the other party was now his superior, and his request was not excessive, so he couldn't find any reason to object.
"Can I choose?"
"Two, you can choose one." Luo Yao gave him the right to choose. Whether it was the driver and bodyguard or the translator, Zhang Liang could only choose one.
Because, from now on, Zhang Liang's activities must be under his supervision.
"I choose driver and bodyguard." Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, weighed in his mind, and said slowly.
"Okay, then I will provide you with a translator." Luo Yao nodded. This translator must be one he can trust.
"Deputy Leader Luo, if possible, I hope that the translator you assign me will be a man." Zhang Liang said.
"Okay." Luo Yao nodded. He didn't have a female translator to match you. He was really overthinking it.
Could it be that he still wanted to use a honey trap against Berry? He would not use such tactics to let his compatriots do such despicable things.
"The time you are working here is considered secondment, and your position is that you are my special assistant. Later, I will ask Secretary Wu to apply for a certificate for you. Only with this certificate can you enter and leave here freely. Of course, in some places, You have no authority to enter. I hope you can understand. In addition, please do not wear military uniforms while working here. Look, no one wears military uniforms here. The name of my external unit is the Institute of Geology. Anyone can They have to sign a confidentiality agreement and are not allowed to disclose any relevant information when they leave the house." Luo Yao explained the rules of the military technical room to Zhang Liang, "In addition, this time we cooperated with the British and set up a six-member team. , I will arrange for you to work in the six groups. Once we reach a cooperation agreement with the British, all work will be carried out through the six groups."
"Understood."
"The translator will report to you later. You should familiarize yourself with the environment and work here first. I will ask Secretary Wu to accompany you around. Also, do you have your own car?"
"No, I don't have a special car."
"While you and I are working here, we will provide you with a bus. From now on, the liaison and communication with the British will be left to you." Luo Yaodao.
"Then should we take the initiative to contact them?"
"It's not necessary to take the initiative to contact us. This cooperation was proposed by the British, not by us. They begged us, not us begging him. Without the British, Americans, and Soviets, we have no shortage." Cooperation partner." Luo Yao chuckled, "Maybe we will have another Russian translator for you soon."
"ah?!"
"Then what should I say?"
"I ignore all their unreasonable demands. If I really can't answer them, they all blame them on me. In short, cooperation is mutually beneficial. Although we are poor and weak, we cannot let others bully us. The bottom line is not to suffer any loss." Luo Yao said.
"But can these great powers agree?"
"So what if we don't agree? Now they are asking for something from us. Even if we sell our daughter, we have to sell it at a good price."
Zhang Liang was stunned after hearing this.
This is too childish. This is intelligence cooperation between the two countries. How can it be related to "selling children"? This is too vulgar.
It's just what the market says, it's hard to be honest. Why did Shangfeng choose such a person to be responsible for such an important matter.
What a child's play.
