"How good is Dr. Nigelhorn's work?" Dai Chunfeng asked Hibet Yashili.
"An excellent mathematician and an excellent cryptographer." Yashili said, but he quickly added, "Of course, there is still a certain gap between his level and mine."
Dai Chunfeng and Zheng Weilong looked at each other, with joy in their eyes.
Hybet Yashili was afraid that others would take away his job. In this case, after receiving the guarantee, he was able to speak so highly of Dr. Horn, which is enough to show that this person is indeed an excellent cryptography expert.
Yes, Hibet Yashili said that Dr. Horn was an outstanding cryptographer. With Dai Chunfeng's little understanding of this person's thoughts and temperament, he added the modifier "extraordinary" in front of the word "excellent".
Dai Chunfeng then informed Hibet Yashili about Ren Anning.
…
"I don't know this classmate Ren." Hibet Yashili frowned and thought, "However, Nigel is a rigorous scholar. Based on my understanding of him, if the report of the "Ithaca Evening News" is true,
Nigel’s praise for classmate Ren should come from the bottom of his heart.”
"Nigel seems to be very fond of this student." He thought for a while, found a suitable expression, and continued, "Nigel is a guy who has some prejudice against people of color. He is a Chinese student. Unless he is really very
Excellent, otherwise, Nigel would not praise him so much, nor would he sincerely accept and recognize this Asian student."
…
Dai Chunfeng was overjoyed.
The excellence of Dr. Nigel Horn, a professor at Cornell University, was confirmed from Hybet Yashili’s words, and Yashili’s understanding of Dr. Horn also confirmed the excellence of Ren Anning——
This is a very talented mathematical genius and an expert in cryptography research.
What is lacking most in China today?
Lack of weapons and ammunition!
Lack of medicine!
Lack of food!
There is a shortage of gasoline, a shortage of aircraft and artillery, a shortage of steel, a shortage of factories, a shortage of everything.
Likewise, there is an urgent shortage of talent.
Before the arrival of Habit Yashili, the telecommunications industry of the Kuomintang was developing fairly well, and it could be said that there were many talents. However, although the telecommunications deciphering aspect could not be said to be in a state of desolation, progress was slow.
The most important thing is that many telecommunications talents are unwilling to enter the spy system. Therefore, in the military system, except for Wei Damin, the director of the Fourth Division, who is a telecommunications expert, it can be said that there is a shortage of talents.
Especially after the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, for the ambitious Dai Chunfeng, he immediately realized that this was a great opportunity for the rapid expansion of military unification forces. In this good situation, the weakness of the telecommunications field was immediately reflected, and even due to the lack of talent
, can be described as being under the thumb of others.
Therefore, after the temporary headquarters of the Lixingshe Secret Service moved west from Wuchang to Chongqing, Dai Chunfeng began to concentrate all the resources at hand to vigorously develop telecommunications work.
Under this situation, the Telecommunications Section of the Secret Service was officially upgraded to the Telecommunications Section, which is now the Fourth Division of the Military Control Bureau.
The Telecommunications Department consists of the Communications Section, the Machinery Section, the Works Section, the Assessment Section, the Electrical Supervision Section, the Personnel Section, etc.
For the sake of confidentiality, the Telecommunications Department did not set up the headquarters of the Military Control Bureau in Luojiawan. After Dai Chunfeng personally inspected Luojiawan, Zengjiayan, Ciqikou, Ma'anshan and other places, he acquired land in Ma'anshan and built it secretly.
The office is located in Ma'anshan and forms its own bureau.
The land is easy to acquire, but although the hardware facilities are difficult, Dai Chunfeng gritted his teeth and invested, but the talent is difficult to acquire.
He is a proud and arrogant person. After he decided to search for telecommunications talents, he set his sights on the whole world, intending to recruit the world's top telecommunications talents.
It was also at that time that Hibet Ashley published "American Secret Room" in the United States.
Xiao Wei, the assistant military attache of the National Government in Washington, had a secret identity as the head of the U.S. station of the Bureau of Military Statistics. After reading this book, he felt as if he had found a treasure. He immediately found someone to translate "The Secret Room of the United States" into Chinese and sent it to Wei Damin, director of the Telecommunications Division.
Wei Damin then recommended the book author Hybet Yashili to Dai Chunfeng. Subsequently, Xiao Wei contacted Yashili, and the two parties bargained, and finally recruited the top cryptographer in the United States with a guaranteed annual salary of US$10,000 and generous bonuses.
expert.
After Hibet Yashili came to China, he helped the Military Command Bureau create the "Chongqing Secret Room" and made great contributions.
However, Dai Chunfeng has always believed in a point of view, which is that "people who are not of my race must have different hearts." What's more, he knows that Hibet Yashili is willing to come to China. In addition to being adventurous, his work in the US MI8,
His main job was to decipher the Japanese codes. Now he came to China, which was resisting the Japanese invasion, and faced the old enemy the Japanese, which also made Hybet Yashili very interested.
Of course, Dai Chunfeng knew better that for Habit Yashili, money was also the most important factor. This man was actually a mercenary chasing money.
Under such circumstances, Dai Chunfeng took precautions and has been seeking to cultivate China's own top telecommunications talents.
And this mention of Ren Anning in the secret message sent by the "straw hat" from "Mr. Xiao Cheng" who was far away in Shanghai naturally aroused Dai Chunfeng's strong interest.
And now, through the mouth of Habit Yashili, it has been confirmed that Ren Anning's professor Dr. Nigel Horn is indeed an outstanding cryptography expert. Dai Chunfeng is even more eager to seek talents from Dr. Horn's beloved disciple Ren Anning!
…
"For the sake of safety, can Dr. Yashili ask Dr. Horn of Cornell University for secret verification on this matter?" Zheng Weilong said.
Dai Chunfeng said nothing and looked at Habit Yashili.
Translator Lu Yi saw that there was no objection from the bureau chief, so he translated Zheng Weilong's words to Hibet Yashili.
"I object." Hibet Yashili shook his head and said.
The movement of shaking the head is a universal body language all over the world. Dai Chunfeng did not need Lu Yi to translate, his expression had already darkened.
Hibet Yashili chatted a lot again.
Dai Chunfeng looked at Lu Yi.
"Dr. Yashili said that he came to Chongqing to work for the Chinese people to resist Japanese aggression. This is a personal matter, and because the United States and Japan are currently friendly countries, he does not want his personal behavior to be overstepped by the diplomatic level.
Interpretation, so his affairs in Chongqing must be kept absolutely confidential," Lu Yi translated.
"We can maintain confidentiality. We will only approach Dr. Horn in your name to inquire about the situation, and will not reveal your current situation." Zheng Weilong said.
"No, no, no, I don't believe it." Hibet Yashili shook his head, and then burst into excited jabbering words.
Lu Yi's expression was a little strange, and he looked at the seat carefully.
"Translate according to the facts." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice.
Then, after listening to Lu Yi's translation, even Dai Chunfeng, who had always been very good at controlling his expressions, couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Hibet Yashili accused Dai Chunfeng of being an 'oil thief'.
As a specially appointed expert that Dai Chunfeng attaches great importance to, Habit Yashili has his own exclusive car. In addition, the Military Command Bureau rations gasoline to Habit Yashili every month when military supplies such as gasoline are very tight.
Then, Habitat was surprised to find that the car's fuel consumption was much higher than expected.
Then, Yashili, who was waiting on guard, discovered the oil thief. The driver assigned to him by the Military Command Bureau used a rubber hose to suck gasoline from the fuel tank every day, and then sold the stolen gasoline on the black market.
Yashili complained to Wei Damin, director of the Telecommunications Department, and the driver who stole oil was transferred from his job. However, Hibet Yashili found that the car's fuel consumption was still too high, and the driving distance after filling up with oil was not even as good as when the driver stole oil.
Therefore, he firmly believed that oil thieves still existed, but no matter how hard Hibet Yashili stayed, there was no trace of the oil thieves this time.
"Tell him that I will personally order an investigation into this matter." Dai Chunfeng said solemnly, "If someone is really guarding and stealing, I will give the doctor an explanation."
"That's the best." Hibet Yashili shrugged and said.
…
Cars drive along Yanjiang Avenue.
Dai Chunfeng remained silent.
"Dao San, call Washington and ask Xiao Lei to check the Ithaca Evening News in Ithaca, New York, to see if there is such an article interviewing Dr. Nigel Horn of Cornell University." He suddenly
He spoke.
"yes."
"In addition, collect intelligence information about Ren Anning through our overseas students in New York." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "Focus on investigating whether this person is really as good as the telegram said."
"Yes." Zheng Weilong thought for a while and said, "How about letting Xiao Wei get Ren Anning's photos?"
"This is possible." Dai Chunfeng nodded, and he said to Zheng Weilong, "Dao San, this matter involves confidentiality. Please contact Xiao Wei personally and keep it confidential."
Zheng Weilong pushed up his lenses and nodded.
He used to have strabismus, but even after being electrocuted by the Japanese, he remained unyielding and scolded him unceasingly. He even cured his strabismus by some miracle because of the electrocution.
"There is one more thing, and it is the most important thing." Dai Chunfeng said with a serious expression, "Call back to Straw Hat and ask Cheng Qianfan to help find out the whereabouts of Ren Anning. If you find someone, please try to provide help secretly."
"If the intelligence is true, talents like Ren Anning are what we are in urgent need of." Zheng Weilong frowned, paused, and continued, "Do you think Cheng Qianfan is trustworthy?"
"This information was originally leaked to us by Cheng Qianfan." Dai Chunfeng said solemnly, "There is no need for him to deceive us. He is a smart man and he does not dare to do so."
"Okay." Zheng Weilong nodded, "I will call Straw Hat back and ask Zheergen for help."
"Zhe'ergen" is the code name Zheng Weilong specially gave to Cheng Qianfan out of confidentiality needs.
…
Zheng Weilong got out of the car and was escorted away by agents.
Dai Chunfeng did not return to Dai Mansion, but went directly back to the Military Command Headquarters at No. 19 Luojiawan.
Qi Wu was called urgently by a late-night phone call and rushed to the bureau headquarters.
The sound of leather shoes on the wooden floor came from the corridor, and Qi Wu's pace gradually slowed down. When he arrived at the door of Dai Chunfeng's office, his pace was steady and his breath was as normal.
"Seat."
"Read this telegram first." Dai Chunfeng handed the telegram to Qi Wu.
"yes."
Qi Wu quickly read the telegram, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Is this a telegram from Straw Hat?" Qi Wu asked.
"'Mr. Xiao Cheng' from the French Concession secretly met with 'Straw Hat' and informed him of the relevant matters." Dai Chunfeng nodded, "'Straw Hat' then sent this telegram to Dao San."
"What was mentioned in the telegram, Dr. Nigelhorn from Cornell University, and Ren Anning..." Qi Wu asked.
"I have confirmed with Yashili that Dr. Horn is indeed the person. As for Ren Anning, this still needs to be confirmed, but the information should not be wrong." Dai Chunfeng said, "Over in the United States, Xiao Wei
I will investigate."
He looked at Qi Wu with deep eyes, "What do you think of this matter?"
Qi Wu understood what Dai Chunfeng was asking.
The most important thing at this time is not the telegram from 'Straw Hat' to Zheng Weilong, but the fact that 'Blue Bird' (Xiao Mian) has never called.
Because Cheng Qianfan, one of the most important strategic agents of the Military Command Bureau, is with him, when facing similar situations, Dai Chunfeng can often grasp the most accurate situation, even better than his rival Sanbonjiro in Shanghai.
Be clear and real.
However, the 'Straw Hat' called, but the message from Cheng Qianfan never arrived, which was a bit strange.
Therefore, this is what Dai Chunfeng asked about.
"There was no call from the Blue Bird, so there are several possibilities." Qi Wu said.
"First, he encountered some situations there and it is not convenient to send a telegram at this moment."
Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly. It was late at night now. Cheng Qianfan was also a figure in the French Concession and had limited mobility. Therefore, it was possible that late-night summons would not be convenient.
"Secondly, he didn't think it was a good time to call and report," Qi Wu said.
Dai Chunfeng understood the meaning of Qi Wu's words. For an agent, there is information to be sent out, but there is a need for when to send it out.
"There is another possibility." Qi Wu thought about it. "For some reason that we don't know yet, he thinks that neither 'Blue Bird' nor 'Xiao Mian' is suitable to intervene at this time. That is to say
No need to send a telegram to report."
Dai Chunfeng frowned and thought. He believed that in Qi Wu's analysis, the latter two were more likely, and the last of the latter two was the most likely.
…
Cheng Qianfan originally planned to seize the time to report to the Chongqing Bureau headquarters after returning home from Shu Daming, and report the matter to Dai Chunfeng from the perspective of a 'blue bird'.
However, out of caution, Cheng Qianfan gave up this plan.
Ever since he learned that the enemy had a radio signal locator, Cheng Qianfan became more vigilant and cautious.
Although according to what he learned from the special high school course during this period, the Japanese radio signal locator is actually not that accurate. It can only lock on a certain range and cannot specifically lock on a certain place.
However, Cheng Qianfan was still very careful.
Regarding the use of the Japanese radio signal locator, Cheng Qianfan secretly studied it. The biggest role of this instrument should be intersection positioning under multiple locks.
Cum, lock certain areas multiple times, and then take the intersection of these areas, just like doing mathematical intersections. The more overlapping parts, the more problems there are.
And to a certain extent, as long as Cheng Mansion starts to appear within a certain range locked by the locator, this itself is a very dangerous signal.
Therefore, unless there is an emergency, Cheng Qianfan will no longer send telegrams in his study at home.
Obviously, in Cheng Qianfan's view, this matter was not an urgent matter that required an emergency telegram late at night.
also--
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette. Instead of smoking, he placed the cigarette in the ashtray and let it burn slowly.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his whole body was in a state of rapid thinking.
The more he thought about this matter, the more he felt that some aspects did not seem so reasonable.
In other words, it’s not that it’s unreasonable, it’s just:
I just feel uncomfortable.
It was a feeling, and he couldn't say what was wrong, it just didn't feel comfortable.
