The secret war is silent

The commendation meeting was presided over by Zheng Jiemin, secretary-general of the Military Unification Bureau.

At this time, Luo Yao saw Mao Qiwu, who was also sitting below him with a smile on his face. He should not be so calm inside.

Although Mao Qiwu was responsible for the daily affairs of the military command, his position was only the deputy director secretary after all. Moreover, Mao Qiwu was already in his early forties when he joined the military command. He did not have a strong resume and had not worked at the grassroots level.

It is generally believed that it would be great if Mao Qiwu could put a star on his shoulder before retiring.

How many people know that this deputy director secretary who smiles at everyone and is harmless to humans and animals actually has "ambition".

However, his ambition is so well hidden that he can even endure his wife giving him a green hat.

This kind of man is either extremely cowardly or extremely scary, and Mao Qiwu is undoubtedly the latter.

Zheng Jiemin was a member of the second phase of Huangpu, and went to study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, Soviet Russia. After returning to China, he served as a political instructor of the sixth phase of Huangpu Corps, and later as the old man's aide-de-camp.

Regardless of resume or qualifications, they are all too beautiful. In comparison, Dai Yunong was once a student soldier under him.

Dai Yunong came on stage and gave a speech, and he still said the same thing. Most people who had heard it had heard it before, and those who hadn't heard it naturally still found it a bit fresh.

Those are the only things that can be put on the table for military reunification. They are allegiance to a leader, a political party, a leader...

What Boss Dai said on the stage was impassioned, and the people listening in the audience were naturally intoxicated with thunderous applause. He also enjoyed the applause. After all, this victory was also due to the military unity under his leadership, and It was still a key contribution, and the old man's praise was enough for him to be quite satisfied.

As for his old rival Zhongtong, he has made no achievements and has become disdainful.

At this time, don't dare to be distracted, just in case someone around you notices any unusual behavior on your part.

Even the changes in facial expressions, clapping a beat slower, hey, you are just waiting for bad luck.

Dai Yunong's speeches were always eloquent, lasting for dozens of minutes and full of emotion.

The most important thing is that it is really inspiring.

For young people who are not deeply involved in the world, his words are indeed inflammatory, but for those who have experienced cruel struggles and painful beatings from society, it is a completely different feeling.

Among the senior officials of the Military Command Bureau sitting in the front row of the stands, none of them are drama stars. Even if they are not, they still know what to do in this situation.

In the commendation meeting, the protagonist is naturally the military commander who has "made meritorious service".

This time there are mainly two units, one is the Military Command Xiangcheng Station, and the other is the secret interpretation room of the headquarters.

A local model is naturally a local benchmark.

Dai Yunong naturally did not hesitate to praise Luo Yao and Li Haihuai in his speech. Even though Luo Yao had already developed a thick skin, he couldn't help but blush.

Then comes the promotion ceremony.

This time, almost all the military commanders in the "X" team were promoted, especially the telegraph operator Zhao Shiyin, who was promoted two levels in a row.

Li Fu was promoted to lieutenant colonel this time. In the temporary training class, except for the students who had already been awarded the title in the past, he was promoted quite quickly.

Gong Hui also moved up a level this time.

Yang Fan was also directly awarded the rank of lieutenant for his meritorious service.

Basically, everyone around Luo Yao was promoted this time. Luo Yao himself had been promoted to colonel before. Although his merits this time were great enough, the time was too short and it was not enough for promotion due to seniority reasons.

Although he was not promoted in military rank, he was awarded a third-class Tripod Medal, which is quite rare.

In the early days when the criteria for obtaining medals were promulgated, the awarding was quite strict. The higher the number, the more rare it was.

This medal was pinned to Luo Yao's chest, and he received a pair of envious and jealous eyes. Even those on the stage had complicated expressions.

He has received two medals, Yunhui and Baoding, at such a young age. If he makes great achievements again, wouldn't he jump straight to the blue sky?

This is the highest honor for soldiers of the party and state. Once such a medal is awarded, there must be no dispute.

Finally, Luo Yao delivered a speech on behalf of the commended personnel.

"Dear Director Lin Wei..." (The speech is omitted, it is really difficult to write.)

A five-minute speech is actually quite standard and nothing out of the ordinary. In such an occasion, if you don’t want to be unconventional or cause trouble, it’s best to be more cautious.

Just get over it.

At the end of Luo Yao's speech, he received decent and unbiased applause.

…

At the end of the day, I am more tired than working an all-night night shift. My body is a little tired, but I can still bear it. The problem is that my heart is tired.

If you are not careful when talking to these people, you may say the wrong thing and offend the person. Of course, you may also be deceived by others and use words to trick you, and you won't be able to do it if you don't guard against it.

But if you have to offend when there is no need to offend, then you will make yourself uncomfortable?

There was a big banquet in the evening, and there were too many people coming to toast, most of whom they didn't know, so it was hard not to drink.

Even if he arranged for people to block a lot of them in advance, he would still end up drunk.

"Sister Hui, I'll leave the eldest brother to you. We have to go back." Li Fu sent the person back and deliberately winked at Gong Hui.

"Okay, you guys go back, be careful on the road." Gong Hui's cheeks turned slightly red. How could she not understand what Li Fu meant? She had already been mentally prepared and helped Luo Yao sit down on the sofa.

"Can you do it?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy. Make me a bowl of hangover soup." Luo Yao is actually still conscious. He can see the little moves of Li Fu and Gong Hui. If given a chance, He was already lying flat.

"I'll put hot water for you. After a while, you can drink the hangover soup, then take a hot bath, and you'll be fine after a nap," Gong Hui said.

"Thank you, Xiaohui."

About five minutes passed.

Gong Hui came in with a bowl of sobering soup: "It's warm. Drink it while it's hot. I'll put hot water for you."

Luo Yao nodded, sat up, picked up the bowl, and drank the hangover soup in one gulp. He actually didn't eat much at night. He only drank wine. A bowl of hangover soup filled his hungry stomach. one time.

My stomach felt much better instantly.

The hangover soup was still effective. Luo Yao soon felt less dizzy, stood up, and entered the bathroom by himself.

Water was already placed in the bathtub, and Gong Hui tested the water temperature with her hands.

"Take off your clothes and I'll wash them for you tomorrow?"

"No, I have to meet Chairman Chiang Kai-shek tomorrow, so I have to wear this outfit." Luo Yao said.

"It smells like alcohol. How are you going to get through it? Otherwise, why don't you wear the old one?" Gong Hui frowned.

"No, Mr. Dai told me that I have to wear this one. Can you take it out and hang it outside to see if the smell can be dispersed?"

"How about I wash it, dry it, and then iron it?"

"Can it be done?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Gong Hui nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you."

After taking a bath, she put on her pajamas and came out. She saw that Gong Hui had washed her woolen military uniform and propped it up with a wooden frame.

A charcoal basin was placed in the house.

It was burning bamboo charcoal, and there was no smoke at all.

The temperature in the room was not low at all. Luo Yao wore a set of pajamas and didn't feel cold even with slippers on.

Gong Hui also only wore a small shirt and was ironing Luo Yao's shirt. She was so focused that she didn't notice that Luo Yao had come behind her.

Luo Yao was afraid of scaring her, so he stood behind and watched her.

"Oh, you scared me." Suddenly feeling someone behind her, Gong Hui turned her head and saw Luo Yao's face, her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

"Xiaohui, thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing. You'll need it in the future anyway. Let's learn how to do it now." Gong Hui showed a shy smile.

"You did it on purpose, right?"

"What?"

"If you get used to me like this, I won't be able to leave you in the future, right?" Luo Yao chuckled.

"That's what you said." Gong Hui smiled.

"Don't wrong yourself. Even if we can get together in the future, we are all equals." Luo Yao reached out and smoothed a strand of long hair from Gong Hui's forehead and said seriously.

"I don't. You men can do these things. Rather than giving other women an advantage, I might as well do it myself, what do you think?" Gong Hui said with a playful smile.

Luo Yao smiled coquettishly, he didn't know how to answer these words.

"It's almost one o'clock. You should go back to bed. It will take at least three or four hours to dry these clothes. You can come over early tomorrow morning and help me iron them."

"Okay, then I'll go back to the house and sleep." Gong Hui nodded, hung up the ironed shirt for Luo Yao, closed the door, and went out.

If you can't be in a hurry, there is a saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Men and women are the same. Gong Hui has long understood this truth.

Today's commendation meeting is Luo Yao's first appearance in front of the entire military command. This will be the internal communication of the military command, and the entire military command organization knows his name.

Compared with before, only a small number of people knew about it, now it can be said that it has become famous all over the world.

Although this kind of fame is not what he wants, he can't help it. The military commander needs to set an example. His arms can't hold him back.

Next, he will find a way to reduce the attention.

This is a very difficult thing to do.

…

When he met the old man again, Luo Yao became less reserved and asked a lot of questions related to deciphering the secret code.

It can be seen that the old man is very concerned about this aspect. In this battle of Xiangcheng, the "X" team did play a role in turning the tide at the critical moment.

At any time, accurate intelligence is one of the necessary conditions for victory.

To obtain intelligence, intercepting and deciphering the enemy's secret communications is the most direct method, and relatively speaking, intelligence is the most timely, effective and accurate.

Although "integration" was not mentioned in half of the sentence, Luo Yao could still analyze some of the old man's inner thoughts from the questions he asked.

There are too many secret code deciphering departments, and technical personnel are scattered and not centralized enough. In peacetime, this is no problem and everyone competes well. But to achieve the results needed now, all efforts must be concentrated to tackle key problems.

If you understand this truth, you are not necessarily required to do it, and if you do it, you may not be able to succeed. This involves the interests of not one person, or even more than one department.

Luo Yao understood such a simple truth, how could the old man not know it?

The problem depends on the old man's determination. If the old man really wants to promote multi-department integration, then this matter will definitely be achieved.

But if he hesitates, or is persuaded by others, and feels that it is not necessary, then it will be difficult, and he will not be able to advance at all by relying solely on the strength below.

Luo Yao has set a principle in the matter of "integration", which is not to fight or grab, to pay attention silently, and to prepare in advance.
