The secret war is silent

Luo Yao was very excited to send someone to study at the secret inspection institute. After all, as far as he knew, the secret inspection institute was the well-deserved leader among the current government secret code research institutions in terms of manpower, material resources, and technical capabilities.

Even the secret electronics unit of the Central Military Commission's confidential room may not be comparable.

What's more, the two are inextricably linked.

But my stall has just been opened here. It is a difficult decision to decide who to send and who not to send. The secret inspection station is not in the mountain city, but in Diancheng, more than a thousand kilometers away.

They are rich and have enough manpower. They are just a screw and a screw. If they lack people, their side will be greatly affected.

Even if we recruit people now, it’s too late.

The Telecommunications Department isn't conducting a secret inspection on everyone. How long have these people been working with the Secret Inspection Office and they haven't learned anything useful?

If you send them there, you can learn other people's housekeeping skills, and they think too highly of themselves.

This thing seems to be mutually beneficial, but in fact it is simply the Secret Inspection Office coming here to pick peaches under the guise of exchange and learning. Can Boss Dai see this?

He also asked himself to discuss it, obviously trying to find an excuse to refuse the boss, but Wen Yuqing had a lot of background, and the Kong and Song families were behind him.

Dai Yunong can't afford to offend him.

The intrigues here are really troublesome, and they are all secretly competing around the dominance of "cryptographic code deciphering".

Not to mention that the Ministry of Military Affairs also wants to get involved.

If he hadn't poached Chi An, Chi An would have been snared by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs would have taken the credit for deciphering the Japanese military secret code.

It is not necessarily good for Luo Yao to worry about so many things. As for the relationship between the parties involved, he only needs to know in his heart what to do. The director of his small "veterinary station" does not have that much power.

It doesn't matter who takes the lead or whether they sleep well. What matters is that they can contribute to the fight against Japan, provide accurate intelligence to the soldiers on the front line, and reduce sacrifices, whatever it takes.

He is not here to fight for power.

In the evening, Shen Yu called him and told him that tomorrow's affairs had been arranged and asked Luo Yao to send someone to the radio school early tomorrow morning to cooperate.

Of course Luo Yao agreed immediately.

He will definitely be involved in this operation, and of course Wen Xueren.

"Lao Qi, go to the radio room and invite Director Wen over."

"Yes." Qi Zhibin outside agreed. It was different with an assistant. If something happened, he could just ask the assistant to run errands, and he could save a lot of time.

"Stationmaster."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Wen Xueren's unhappy face, Luo Yao asked strangely. He was the director of the radio station and the top leader. Who else could make him angry?

"The station manager, you are not that Zhou Xiaoying. She asked me to arrange an independent office for her as soon as she came, and she also had to use the best equipment. I said that the equipment in our radio room is just like this. The new equipment has not arrived yet. Just use it, but she said no and asked me to ask for it from the boss, saying that she was not used to using these old-fashioned things!" Wen Xueren said angrily.

"That's it?"

"Webmaster, you don't know how harsh and unpleasant her words are. I have never seen such a woman. Is she here to work? She is just here to be a leader." Wen Xueren said angrily.

"Well, since she dislikes the equipment, there's no need to let her get on the machine. Let her copy the messages. This job is relatively easy."

"Transcribe the message, stationmaster, are you sure?"

"I'm sure that since she doesn't want to get on the machine to copy and send the message, there's no need. Someone will also need to copy the message." Luo Yao nodded, "Read her the specific requirements for copying the message one by one. , anyone whose copying is unsatisfactory will have to start over.”

"Webmaster, is this okay? I heard that Zhou Xiaoying has a lot of background this time?" Wen Xueren asked uneasily.

"You don't have to worry about this. She is now in your radio room and your subordinate. She has to do what you say. If she can't complete the task or doesn't work well, then she will be punished according to the rules. It doesn't matter what her background is. , backstage and so on." Luo Yao said.

"Webmaster, I..."

"Don't worry, as long as you do things fairly, I will support you, don't be afraid." Luo Yao said with a smile, "If she targets you, just say it was my order."

"I understand, thank you, webmaster."

"Let's not talk about Zhou Xiaoying for now. I came to you to discuss our visit to the telegraph office tomorrow." Luo Yao said, "Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Radio School to meet the students first. Let's go to the Radio School to meet the students. Entering the telegraph office as a teacher and a student together, do you understand the purpose of this visit?"

"Understood, we want to quietly find the person who sent the telegram, right?" Wen Xueren's eyes lit up when he heard this, showing a hint of excitement.

"That's right, we came up with this method in order not to alert the snake. If we start directly from the telegraph office, if the telegraph office has their accomplices, it will be easy to be discovered. Even if we can find out who it is, that person If you are alert and slip away, the gain will outweigh the loss." Luo Yao nodded.

"I understand, I understand. I will go with the stationmaster tomorrow."

"Go to bed early tonight. Only tomorrow will we have the energy to distinguish whether there is the person we are looking for among these people." Luo Yao said.

After the Nationalist Government moved its capital to Shancheng, it became the political center of the country. The telegraph office's business was several times greater than in the past, and there was a huge demand for telegraph operators.

At this time, if someone wants to sneak in, it is not too difficult. This also gives the Japanese spies an opportunity to take advantage of.

…

Early the next morning, Luo Yao got up on time. After washing and having breakfast, he called Wen Xueren and drove to the radio school.

Today's visit involved special actions. Shen Yu naturally attached great importance to it and personally went to the radio school to make arrangements.

After Luo Yao and Wen Xueren arrived, they organized students and teachers to take a chartered bus to the telegraph office.

The director of the Telegraph Bureau did not understand the sudden proposal of the radio school to visit and study, but he had to cooperate even if he did not understand.

After all, the telegraph office now needs radio schools to train talents for them, and building good relationships is necessary.

It's not just a study tour. As long as it doesn't disturb the normal work of the telegraph office, it's better to let these students come to visit and practice in advance.

You must know that every department is currently short of telegraph operators. If two more telegraph operators can be recruited, the manpower shortage in the telegraph office can be alleviated.

The lobby on the first floor of the telegraph office was a busy scene.

Many people lined up, waiting to send a telegram. Ordinary people would only send telegrams unless they encountered an emergency. Most of the people who came here to send telegrams were business people and reporters.

For reporters at home and abroad, if they want to get first-hand news and want to send it out, the fastest way is to send it via telegraph, because news is timely and the news they grab is worthless if it is not released in time. .

Therefore, the most visible people in the hall are reporters, and when reporters send reports, the number of words is very long, which is different from the concise language used by ordinary people.

Because you are charged according to the number of words, and if it is English, you are paid according to the letters. This is actually a big business.

The Telegraph Office was a very lucrative place, and many people wanted to squeeze in.

The second floor is the office, the dispatch and reception room is in the basement, and on the top floor, the antenna poles are densely packed, looking like a mess of grass.

Communication facilities are very important to a city and are also one of the main targets of Japanese bombings. Therefore, necessary camouflage is still needed.

When I entered the basement, I heard the sound of "didi-dah-dah" inside, not just one or two, but dozens or hundreds of them.

These sounds converge into a turbulent flow. If you are not used to it, you will easily be disturbed by such sounds and may even feel nauseous.

Sending and receiving telegrams are separated, which is convenient for improving work efficiency. If a person wants to send and copy telegrams at the same time, it is easy to leave telegrams behind, causing unnecessary losses.

The underground hall is divided into several areas. Each area is equipped with at least dozens of transceivers. The operators perform their duties, sending and copying reports. After completion, someone will pick them up and then sort them. The archive should be archived and the report should be sent to the recipient. Everything is like an assembly line operation.

"This is domestic, and that is foreign. We have established telegraph connections with many cities in the world..." The director personally led the students to visit and explained, with excitement flushing from time to time on his face.

Probably because there were several young and beautiful female students among the visiting students.

Luo Yao and Wen Xueren, two average-looking and somewhat mature students, were hanging at the end of the visiting team, their eyes wandering past the hands of the telegraph operator in the hall from time to time.

In public, even if you find something, it is difficult to communicate directly. Once you open your mouth, people around you will listen.

However, this does not trouble them at all.

Wen Xueren seemed to have noticed something. He stretched out his hand and gently put it on Luo Yao's left shoulder, and tapped his shoulder gently with his right index finger.

"Stationmaster, in the third row to your left is a woman with short hair."

Luo Yao nodded first and then shook his head. He had noticed it just now, but after careful observation and listening, he found that although the reporting method was similar to that of the person they were looking for, he was not the person they were looking for.

Luo Yao judged that the person who sent the report should be a male, and in the hall here, the majority of the operators were female, while men accounted for about 20%.

This profession inherently requires women who are patient and careful. Men do not have the inherent advantages of women. Of course, this does not mean that male operators are inferior to women.

Sweeping them one by one.

Finally, Luo Yao and Wen Xueren discovered a male operator leaning against a pillar at the same time. His hand speed was not the fastest among the many operators, but it was the most stable. Moreover, the point that attracted their attention the most was, This person only read the telegram once. When he proofread it the second time, he basically stopped looking at the telegram manuscript.

Shorthand, even if a telegraph operator does not have photographic memory, his shorthand skills are excellent, and general telegraph operators do not need to have "stenography" skills.

Only specially trained agents have such abilities, and not every agent knows shorthand. Shorthand also relies on talent.

It's him.

After memorizing the job number, I scanned the attendance sheet on the wall and the number was matched immediately.
