The secret war is silent

It's early in the morning on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

Luo Yao just arrived at the Ciqi Interpretation Office headquarters, took off his coat, hung it on the hanger at the door, and flicked the charcoal fire in the room.

The weather in the mountain city is so humid and cold that if there is no charcoal brazier in the house, it will be really cold and shivering. Especially people from the north cannot adapt to the climate here.

Luo Yao was a little better. Jinling City was right on the Yangtze River. In winter, it was wet and cold, almost like a mountain city.

There was a knock on the office door.

Secretary Xiao Wu came in: "Director, Assistant Qi is here."

Qi Zhibin?

When Luo Yao looked up, he saw Qi Zhibin appearing at the door. Qi Zhibin lived in the house built by the secret translation office next to Songlinpo Mansion.

Coming here in the morning, it’s still quite far.

"Brother Yao, I should have sent it to you yesterday, but then I thought it was too late, so I sent it to you this morning." Qi Zhibin said, took off his gloves, took out a few manuscript papers from his briefcase and handed them over. passed.

"What are you asking to come here so early in the morning?"

"Yesterday afternoon, when it was almost dark, the person named Qi from the Central News Agency called me and asked me to pick up the manuscript of the exclusive interview on New Year's Eve. There was an agreement and we had to review it before it could be published in the newspaper. They gave it to me. Come here." Qi Zhibin said, "I will see the report tomorrow. The review must be completed today. I will take it back directly."

"Let me see, what's written?" Luo Yao smiled, opened the manuscript, and a beautiful title came into view.

"The scholar abandoned his writing and joined the army, just to fight the national calamity together!"

This topic is a good one.

Luo Yao read it line by line. His writing was not bad, and he had some skills in writing. But the content was a bit empty, and it was basically just common words.

However, this was good, and he never thought about asking reporters to give him exclusive interviews and publicity.

"Lao Qi, have you read the article?" Luo Yao asked.

"After a rough scan, the reporters of the Central News Agency are of different standards. The articles they write are just right. I heard that Jiang Lin was a famous and talented woman when she was in college..." Qi Zhibin said while stretching out his hand to warm himself.

"The problem with the article is not big. Some of the parts that reveal the nature of our work can be revised before publication. No problem." Luo Yao looked at it carefully and said.

"I also think this matter is not that complicated." Qi Zhibindu.

"It's better if it's not complicated. None of us want to be troublesome." Luo Yao nodded. He also didn't want to think too badly of others. After all, everyone has no grievances. Why should he become a person just for a moment of grudge? Where is the enemy?

"You and I will both sign it, take a photo and keep it, and give the original to the Central News Agency." Luo Yao ordered.

You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others. For some things, it is better to be prepared.

"Well, I'll go to the imaging department to take pictures later." Qi Zhibin nodded.

Luo Yao modified several words and phrases in the manuscript that may have been inaccurately expressed, and noted the reasons. Then he signed at the end of the manuscript that he agreed to publish the revised manuscript, and then handed the manuscript to Qi Zhibin.

When the JoongAng Daily publishes the news tomorrow, this matter will be over.

…

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the secret interpretation room had a collective dinner, the tail-end banquet, and all the staff gathered in the headquarters canteen, because the headquarters canteen was big enough to seat so many people.

Except for the guards and those on duty at Songlinpo Mansion, everyone else also came over.

As the person in charge of the secret interpretation room, Luo Yao was the first to come to work that day and did not eat breakfast at home.

Instead, he ate in the canteen of the secret interpretation room.

He wants to check the preparations for the evening dinner. As a manager, although there is no need to detail everything, it must be considered at critical times.

The war of resistance has entered the second stage. Japan has implemented a three-dimensional blockade from military to economic, which has made it difficult for the whole country. However, no matter how difficult it is, this stage must be passed. This is the belief of the Chinese people.

In addition to the dinner party at the end of the night, Luo Yao also checked the warehouse of the code translation room, which contained a lot of things.

Luo Yao knew very well that the prices of food and other daily necessities would continue to rise in the future, so he naturally bought a lot when prices were low and stored them up.

He will not speculate and make profits, but at least he can ensure that everyone in the code translation room will not go hungry. Also, it can offset the financial pressure brought to him by material inflation.

After all, the funds provided by the above are limited and cannot rise with prices. He has to prepare for a rainy day.

He has been involved in this work. For this reason, he also asked Qi Zhibin to purchase a grain store and start a grain business.

Except for a small amount of retail sales to maintain the operation of grain stores, everything else was hoarded.

He does not want to enrich the country, but he wants to do something for the people in the mountain city.

The warehouse of the code translation room has enough food for all of them to eat for a year. They don't stock up on more, just for one year, and then they replace the old food with new food.

"Here is another sand bucket for fire protection..."

"There should be patrols every night. More people should pay attention to this location. If someone comes in from here, will it be difficult to find it?"

"Director, you are absolutely right. We will make rectifications immediately."

"Director, Sister Hui is in your office. If there is something urgent, I want you to go back immediately." Secretary Xiao Wu suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear.

Luo Yao nodded slightly to Xiao Wu, hurriedly finished the inspection and returned to the office.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Gong Hui standing there with a very ugly face. Luo Yao was surprised. He was fine when he went out in the morning. How could his face change so quickly in just a short time?

"Close the door."

Luo Yao didn't say anything, just closed the door and walked over: "What's wrong? You came here so early in the morning and you look so ugly?"

"Take a look at today's "Central Daily News" exclusive interviews with heroes of the Anti-Japanese War!" Gong Hui sat down angrily.

"The report is out. I've read it. The one written by reporter Jiang is quite satisfactory..." Luo Yao saw a new "Central Daily News" on the table. He picked it up and glanced at it. His expression immediately changed. The title remained the same. But the content was completely different from the one I had reviewed.

"How about it, unexpected?"

Luo Yao gave a helpless smile. Yes, he knew that although he had reviewed the manuscript and there was no problem, all aspects of publication were in the hands of others. As long as there was a problem in one link, it would be difficult for you to think of the problem. .

A little woman was asked to set things up. Of course, it may not necessarily be the female reporter named Jiang Lin.

You know, there are still many people who want to plot against themselves and throw dirty water on themselves. For some people, it is a secret for them to be interviewed by the Central News Agency, but for some people, it is not a secret at all.

It's not impossible to take this opportunity to do something for yourself, but the propaganda department is managed by the "2C" and may not buy the army's account, but they will definitely be happy to watch the military's internal strife.

If the JoongAng Ilbo published such an article, wouldn't it be worried about public backlash?

He actually portrayed himself as a smug and arrogant person who gets a little bit of credit. He even mentioned in the article his aggressive and provocative look at "reporters", which was just short of " The four words "good and perverted person" are written on his face.

"I don't care if the reporter named Jiang Lin is behind this, but I, Gong Hui, am a vengeful woman. If she dares to cheat on my man, I will make her life worse than death!" Gong Hui said.

Gong Hui is not stupid. She has listened to the interview recording and seen the original photo of the press release that Luo Yao reviewed and signed for publication.

Furthermore, no man with any brain would agree to publish such an article that slanders him.

How much water did the brain drink from the Jialing River to do such a thing?

"Xiaohui, don't keep saying 'my man' on your lips. It's not good for outsiders to hear it." Luo Yao said hurriedly. It was impossible not to be angry about this matter. But when you calm down and think about it, the other party is not an ordinary person. The Central News Agency is also the mouthpiece of the party-state, and behind it are the Propaganda Department and the Party Headquarters.

"Calm down first. I'm going to see Mr. first, and we'll talk about it when I get back. Don't act impulsively."

"Is it useful for you to go to sir?"

"Of course it is useful. At least it shows my attitude. I am the victim in this matter. The Central News Agency dares to do this. That is definitely not what a small reporter Jiang Lin can do. Someone must have instigated it. Even if you take Jiang Lin now If you catch him and throw him into the Jialing River, it won't help." Luo Yao said solemnly, "So, we need to calm down and not make people laugh."

Gong Hui frowned slightly, but she still obeyed Luo Yao and suppressed the anger in her chest.

"When I come back, don't be impulsive. In addition, call everyone who knows us and don't say anything, lest the situation becomes unmanageable." Luo Yao warned.

…

"You Ning, what's going on with you? Why did you offend the people of the Central News Agency?" Mao Qiwu came over to complain as soon as he saw Luo Yao coming.

"Secretary Mao, do you believe I am that kind of person?"

"Of course I don't believe it anymore. If you were the kind of person that reporter Jiang wrote about, you would have stopped talking a long time ago. Hurry up, the boss is waiting for you!"

Without notification, Luo Yao and Mao Qiwu went directly into Dai Yunong's office at the bureau headquarters.

"Qi Wu, You Ning is here. You guys sit down first while I finish writing this letter." Dai Yunong sat at the desk and wrote furiously.

The two of them walked to the guest sofa and sat down. They waited for more than ten minutes before they saw Dai Yunong put down the brush in his hand.

"You Ning, your secret interpretation room is having a tail-tooth banquet tonight, right?"

"Yes, sir." Luo Yao stood up quickly.

"Qi Wu and I will go there at that time. Although I have gone there several times for inspections, we have never had a meal with the big guys. After tonight, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity in the future." Dai Yunong laughed.

"Everyone in the cryptographic interpretation room respectfully welcomes you, sir." Luo Yao said hurriedly. After such an incident, Dai Yunong decided to go to the cryptographic interpretation room, which was obviously recognition and support for him.

"You are a hero of the party and the country. You are a talented military commander who has won the Yunhui Medal and the Baoding Medal. How can you allow a little girl to slander you like this!" Dai Yunong said.

Luo Yao knew Dai Yunong very well. This king of agents who controlled the military was a man with an extremely strong feudal paternalistic style.

If you are a member of your own family, there is no problem if you say it, but outsiders cannot say it, especially if it is an added insult.

This ruined not only Luo Yao's image, but the image of the entire military commander. If Dai Yunong could endure this, wouldn't it be a joke?
