The secret war is silent

"My daughter returns to her parents' home..."

"Brother Yao, the meaning of this code is obvious." Wen Xueren stood behind Luo Yao, holding in his hand a newly decoded coded message sent to Honolulu by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"The Japanese are going to evacuate their overseas Chinese." Luo Yao nodded. Before the war started, it was a routine operation to evacuate the overseas Chinese.

Otherwise, what will happen to these expats once they stay?

"Is this battle really going to happen?"

"If they don't fight, we will be the unlucky ones." Luo Yao said, "Only by bringing in the United States, an economic power that is not involved in the war, can this war end quickly, otherwise it will probably last another ten or eight years. , may not be able to end.”

…

"Director, Attaché Dipas is here."

"Oh, please wait a moment while I change my clothes." Luo Yao was "startled" for a moment. What was the attaché of the US Embassy in Shancheng doing here at this time?

After a while, Luo Yao changed into a national army uniform and met Dipas.

Although the Americans looked down upon the Chinese army, Luo Yao had a higher position than him, and everyone said that no matter how unwilling he was, he had to salute Luo Yao first.

"I apologize for taking the liberty of visiting." After all, Dipas stayed in China for a long time and learned a lot about the ways of the world.

"Mr. Dipas is welcome." Luo Yao nodded slightly and asked someone to bring him a cup of tea.

When entertaining foreigners on formal occasions, Luo Yao never prepares coffee, only tea.

"Director Luo, I came here this time to further strengthen cooperation with the military technical room you preside over..." Dipas said.

Luo Yao was not stupid. He understood what this guy meant when he heard it. He wanted him to avoid Dai Yunong and reach a cooperation agreement in private. How could he do this?

"Aren't we always cooperating?" Luo Yao pretended to be stupid and said blankly.

"Director Luo, what I mean is that our two families independently reached an intention to cooperate..."

…

"This American also knows your reputation and actually came over to find you directly?" Gong Hui said after listening to Luo Yao's explanation.

"We need to talk to Mr. Dai about this matter. Although we have a cooperative relationship with the Americans, we still have to be careful about them."

"Understood." Gong Hui nodded, "I'll go and say, oh, by the way, Yu Shuheng gave me a letter."

"What did you say?"

"She met a foreign boyfriend in the United States and decided not to return to China." Gong Hui sighed.

Luo Yao was silent. This result was actually no surprise. Yu Shuheng was committed to Dai Yunong and they were just taking advantage of each other.

Now she is far away in the United States. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. If she doesn't come back, what can Dai Yunong do to her?

Military rule has little power in the United States.

Can you still kidnap people back?

…

December 6th.

Chi An knocked on the door, walked in, and placed a deciphered message with the words "Dongfeng·Yu" in front of Luo Yao.

"When was it intercepted?"

"A quarter of an hour ago." Chi An glanced at his watch and said solemnly. The Japanese had begun to send messages in clear codes, but they were using code words. Only they themselves could understand what they meant.

Diplomatic secret messages have basically stopped, and only the "LA" code is still in use among the six sets of passwords to maintain basic communications.

There was an unprecedented pressure in the military technical room.

Although everyone is engaged in technology, their contacts are all core secrets, so they naturally understand that war is about to break out.

"Report it, report our analysis and inference together!" Luo Yao said.

"yes."

…

In the early morning of the 7th, under the command of Commander Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, a total of six aircraft carriers and more than 400 fighter planes, rushed towards Pearl Harbor, Hawaii!

The Pacific War breaks out!

When the news came, the whole world was in an uproar.

Although Luo Yao in Shancheng had already put forward his prediction, including the old man, they did not believe that Japan would brazenly launch an attack on the United States despite the disapproval of the world.

No matter what, a breakdown in Japan-US relations or a direct conflict will be beneficial to China. If the United States directly participates in the war, the world's anti-Japanese forces will be completely reversed.

With the strong industrial capabilities of the United States, once it is activated, the energy it unleashes is astonishing. And once war is declared, the United States will no longer have any scruples in aiding China. By then, military aid will continue to flow into the country.

There is no doubt that the Japanese army's early strategic deception and concealment had a great effect, and the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was very successful.

The news of the disastrous defeat of the U.S. Navy shocked the whole world!

On December 9, China officially declared war on Japan.

The war between China and Japan then entered a new stage.

…

In late December, Luo Yao suddenly received a call from He Yaozu.

"You Ning, the commission has personally appointed you to serve in the Expeditionary Force. Director of the Intelligence Department of the Expeditionary Force. You can select some people from the Military Technical Room to follow them, but they cannot affect the work of the Military Technical Room!"

"The Ministry of Staff is willing to obey the commissioned military orders, but I am going to serve in the Expeditionary Force. I am not familiar with the place, and I am a military commander. I am afraid..."

"You don't have to worry about this. The commander of the expeditionary force is Luo Zhuoying. You are an old acquaintance from the Battle of Xiangcheng. He will fully support your work."

"Then can I join the army and mobilize some of them to follow?" Luo Yao asked.

"Then I have to ask Director Dai. As long as he agrees, there will definitely be no problem on my side." He Yaozu said with a chuckle.

…

"What do you mean by this appointment? To send you to the expeditionary force at this time is to burn bridges across the river?" Gong Hui said very dissatisfied.

"After I left, Huo Tian acted as director of the military technical room, which is no different from my presence. Besides, you are still here!" Luo Yao said, "Don't worry, everyone in the military technical room is our own people, so you don't have to worry about others taking over your power." .”

"You won't take me?"

"This time, you can't come with me!" Luo Yao nodded. The tropical rainforest climate in South Asia is not suitable for women who live there. They might lose their lives there. .

"Why……"

"This is my decision, and there will be no changes. This time, there will be no women among the people I take away, and naturally I can't take you with me. The environment in South Asia is too harsh, and we have to march and fight. If you go, you will be a burden. This is one of them. Also, the family cannot live without someone. If we are both gone, who will take care of Dad and Nan'er?"

When Gong Hui heard this, she knew that no matter how big of a reason she had, she couldn't justify it, so she had no choice but to stay.

"You take Tiger and Xia Fei away. They are familiar with the environment and will be helpful to you." Gong Hui suggested.

"Don't worry, they are the must-haves in my personnel list." Luo Yao said, "In addition, Li Fu may also be in the ranks of this expeditionary force. By then, our brothers will be able to fight side by side."

"That's good, at least you two can take care of each other." Gong Hui nodded.

"Your Excellency, please give me three days. We will set off in three days. I also need to hand over the work to Lao Huo and the others. If anything happens, let's talk about it when we go home tonight."

…

Three days later, Luo Yao led a capable team to board the transport plane to Diancheng. This was the first group of people.

There will be another team later, which is a team of elite agents that Dai Yunong removed from the military command. There are two hundred people in the team, and they will join him one after another.

On the plane, Luo Yao recalled that the night before leaving, Gong Hui actually got into his bed and disarmed him without warning.

At that moment, he couldn't say no anymore.

He knew that it was really hard to say whether he would be able to come back after he left...

A little melancholy and a little reluctant to give up, but there is also an extra care. For this care, he will work hard to get himself back alive.

After arriving in Diancheng, Luo Yao and others drove to Dali, where the headquarters of the expeditionary force commander is located, and met the deputy commander-in-chief Du Laoming.

Subsequently, Luo Yao, as the director of the Intelligence Division of the Expeditionary Force, followed the operations of the commander-in-chief's headquarters.

Li Fu was later transferred from Feng, and the two brothers met on the Yunnan-Burma battlefield.

After several brutal battles, Luo Yao, even though he was not a combatant, had to join the fight at critical moments. He had many adventures and even fought with Japanese snipers.

The fox of military rule became the fox of the expeditionary force!

When withdrawing westward from India, the Intelligence Office followed the Fifth Army headquarters and crossed the Savage Mountain. Luo Yao relied on his amazing hearing and keen insight into danger to assist Du Laoming in bringing most of the team out of the Savage Mountain.

In addition to the losses on the battlefield, the Fifth Army lost less than 10% during the retreat, which can be called a miracle of this retreat!

This also laid a good foundation for the Fifth Army to quickly restore its combat effectiveness.

In the process of fighting side by side for several months, Luo Yao also established a very deep personal relationship with Du Laoming.

Du Laoming calls him my own "little brother" in front of everyone.

After walking out of Savage Mountain, Luo Yao found out that Gong Hui was pregnant not long after he entered Burma to fight.

By the time he received the news, he was pregnant and about to give birth.

However, he was in India and could not go back at all. He could only send a telegram to his family to report that he was safe, and also gave the child's name.

Because if he waits until he goes back, it may be too late.

…

It has been a year and a half since I entered Myanmar.

Luo Yao has also integrated into the expeditionary force, because he not only understands technology, but also speaks English and can deal directly with the British.

The most important thing is that he is not afraid of the British, and of course, the Americans are not afraid either. He became Luo Zhuoying's liaison officer with Stilwell and the British army.

It's not easy to be an official, but he has to do it because he wants to fight for more rights and interests for the expeditionary force.

In September of the same year, Gong Hui gave birth to a son at the Red Cross Hospital in Shancheng. According to Luo Yao's telegram, the son was called Luo Ping and the daughter was Luo An.

Peace is blessing!

…

Fast forward to 1943, and Luo Yao has been with the Expeditionary Force for more than two years. He served as the director of the Intelligence Division and the director of the Sino-US and Sino-British Liaison Offices.

With a transfer order from Shancheng, he can return to Shancheng.

Only when he returned to the mountain city did he learn that the United States suggested that he take up the position of director of the China-US Cooperation Institute. Luo Yao was dumbfounded.

This position was originally wanted by Dai Yunong and he took it. No matter what happened, he would not have come back if he had known it.

But he didn't think much about it because he wanted to see his wife and children.

Luo Yao found Dai Yunong, talked with him all afternoon, and rejected the American suggestion. He could be the deputy director, but the director position must be held by Dai Yunong, otherwise, he would not even be the deputy director.

The United States finally agreed. Their purpose was to get Luo Yao to serve in the cooperative office. They felt that communicating with Luo Yao would be much better than Dai Yunong.

After returning to the mountain city, Luo Yao's life became regular and he was more low-key than before.

Wei Daming finally angered Dai Yunong, and Dai Yunong found a reason to imprison him.

Luo Yao reluctantly returned to the military command and temporarily acted as director of the Telecommunications Department.

Because Wei Daming was also the director of the Fourth Department of the Second Department of the Military Command, he took over all of Wei Daming's part-time jobs.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the next year, after Dai Yunong's aircraft lost power in Jinling, Luo Yao directly supported Mao Qiwu's rise to power and did not give Zheng Jiemin a chance.

Later, Luo Yao left the Secrecy Bureau, which was established based on military unification, and joined the Reserve Cadre Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense as deputy director.

In the same year, Gong Hui gave birth to a daughter, named Luo An.

Note: Excluding those who sacrificed their lives and retired, some of Luo Yao's former subordinates in the military technical department ended up in the reserve cadre bureau, and some went to other departments. Huo Tian, ​​Chi An and others continued to engage in technical research.

After Gong Hui gave birth to a daughter, she retired directly from the army and stayed at home to support her husband and raise her children.

After "Nail" Liu Jinbao and others returned from hiding, they all became the anti-Japanese heroes of the military command. However, they were all tired and did not want to work in the military command anymore. Luo Yao arranged other positions for them, and they basically left the military command.

Li Fu went to the Ministry of National Defense.

Wen Zishan eventually became the son-in-law of the Ye family. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he announced his separation from the military and settled in Singapore.
