"Chenghu, that's what I mean!" Zhou Fengshan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It's seven twenty o'clock, let's hurry up and eat, and we can catch the late train at nine o'clock!" ”

Speaking of this, he looked back at Lin Jiangbei and said, "Jiangbei, you have made a great contribution, I should have invited you to the YMCA for a big meal, but this time I can only wronged you to go to the small canteen with us to make up for a meal!" ”

"For what students don't pay attention to, as long as they can fill their stomachs!" Lin Jiangbei said, "Principal Zhou, it's just that the students don't understand a little, isn't it okay for the code book to be sent to the Nanjing headquarters?" Why do you and the Inspector General have to work on the big frame and send it over in person? ”

"Hehe," Zhou Fengshan laughed and said, "This matter is a long story. We're going to be in a hurry, let's go to the small cafeteria below to eat and chat! ”

Like the big agencies of later generations, the provincial capital police station also has a small canteen dedicated to the leaders, who can serve a steaming meal within a quarter of an hour if the leaders need it.

While eating, Zhou Fengshan told Lin Jiangbei why he and Du Chenghu personally went to the Nanjing headquarters to deliver the code book. Because the codebook discovered by Lin Jiangbei was too important to the intelligence department, it was not only the intelligence department, but also the first codebook seized from the Japanese espionage organization by the entire national government intelligence system.

At this time, although the Fourth Section of the Intelligence Department had been established for nearly four years, and some personnel had been organized to work on the decipherment of radio codes, the decipherment work was still in its infancy, and the results achieved were very limited. As for the secret messages of Japanese spy organizations, it is far from being able to crack them.

Not only the Fourth Section of the Intelligence Division, but also the Second Secret Office of the General Affairs Group, which was responsible for radio code breaking, the old rival of the Intelligence Division, also had the ability to decipher the secret messages of the Japanese spy organization.

So at this time, are there any organizations in China that have achieved certain results in deciphering the Japanese code? And there is!

That is a secret organization established by Wen Yuqing, director of the Post Department of the Ministry of Communications, on the orders of President Chang, called the Secret Telegraph Inspection and Translation Institute. In the fall of last year, the Cipher Translation Office successfully deciphered a LA code that Japanese diplomats use every day abroad.

Although the LA password is relatively simple, it is used to communicate some general passwords used in ordinary daily work. However, the Nanjing side was also able to learn about the whereabouts and work transfers of Japanese diplomats, the expenses of the embassy and consulates, and so on.

It is conceivable that under the circumstance that the two major intelligence systems of the Intelligence Department and the Party Affairs Department have nothing to do with the decipherment of Japanese secret telegrams, how will the Principal Chang favor such an achievement achieved by Wen Yuqing's secret telegram inspection and translation office.

Even President Chang has made a formal decision to prepare to change the Secret Telephone Inspection and Translation Institute from a secret organization into a formal organization subordinate to the Central Military Commission in more than 10 days, that is, on 1 March this year.

Zeng Enxu, director of the Party Affairs Department, did not know how Zhou Fengshan and Du Chenghu reacted to the news, but Duan Yinong reacted to the news, but Zhou Fengshan and Du Chenghu knew it clearly.

At that time, Zhou Fengshan and Du Chenghu were both in Nanjing, and they saw Duan Yinong furious, saying that the intelligence department had fed a bunch of wasters, and a group of people who specialized in intelligence were not as efficient as the director of the postal department in pulling up a pheasant organization.

Zhou Fengshan and Du Chenghu are fine, but Wei Xiaoming, the head of the fourth section, is so red that he can almost drip blood, and he can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

It was at this meeting that Duan Yinong issued a heavy reward, no matter who could only crack the Japanese secret telegram or seize the code book of the Japanese spy organization, he would be immediately promoted to one level and rewarded with 1,000 yuan.

It was precisely because Duan Yinong was too eager to crack the Japanese secret telegram and seize the code book of the Japanese spy organization, so after receiving Li Guanfeng's phone report today, he did not consider the feelings of his two subordinates, Zhou Fengshan and Du Chenghu, and directly ordered the task of searching for the code book to Li Guanfeng.

It's just that Duan Yinong didn't expect that Li Guanfeng, who he had high hopes for, just left with a bunch of useless Go books in the end, and the real code book was seized by Lin Jiangbei, a newcomer who had not yet officially joined Hangcheng Station.

After listening to Zhou Fengshan's narration, Lin Jiangbei suddenly realized that Zhou Fengshan and Du Chenghu couldn't even wait for a night, and they had to immediately catch the night train to the Nanjing headquarters to deliver this codebook, it turned out that this codebook was so important to the intelligence department, and it would even affect Duan Yinong's status in the mind of President Chang.

However, Lin Jiangbei still couldn't believe that the codebook he seized would be the first codebook of a Japanese spy organization obtained by the intelligence system of the entire Nationalist Government.

"Nope!" Zhou Fengshan shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you, the telegram was deciphered by Wen Yuqing's secret telegram inspector." But getting the Japanese code book is the first time in the world. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Lin Jiangbei, "Actually, it's not just our intelligence department, it's the secret telegram inspection and translation office under Wen Yuqing, and they must be eager for this codebook." After all, what they cracked was only the common password used by Japanese diplomats on a daily basis, and they still had no clue about many ciphercodes related to important secret work. Although it is said that Wang Longfei's codebook will be stopped because of the leakage of secrets, it is believed that the password editing rules involved in it will be of great help to the Secret Telegraph Inspection and Translation Institute in deciphering the confidential wireless telegraphy of Japanese diplomats. ”

"I see!" Lin Jiangbei pondered for a moment and asked, "Principal Zhou, the students still don't know a little, doesn't our intelligence department have a telecommunications department?" Why did Principal Chang set up a secret telegraph inspection and translation office under Wen Yuqing? Wouldn't it be better to merge the power of the two companies into one by merging the Cipher Translation Office into the Telecommunications Section of our Intelligence Department? ”

"This is mainly due to the different division of labor." Zhou Fengshan explained, "The Telecommunications Section of our intelligence department is mainly responsible for eavesdropping and deciphering the secret messages of Japanese spy organizations. The Secret Telegram Inspection and Translation Office is mainly responsible for monitoring and deciphering the secret telegrams of the Japanese embassy and consulates. ”

Seeing that Lin Jiangbei seemed to understand something, Zhou Fengshan further explained: "According to public international law, all telegrams exchanged by foreign embassies and consulates in China must be received and sent by the local China Telegraph Bureau. Since last year, Japanese consulates in various parts of China have begun to violate public international law by privately setting up secret radio stations inside embassies and consulates, handing over all important coded telegrams to the secret radio stations set up by the embassies and consulates, and only handing over clear-code telegrams and a small number of coded telegrams to the local China Telegraph Bureau. ”

"The reason why the Japanese government dares to ignore China's sovereignty in this way is mainly because our Chinese power is now too weak, and for fear of causing diplomatic disputes, we dare not send military police to the Japanese embassy and consulates to search their secret radio stations. In doing so, they both served to prevent leaks and speed up the transmission of telegrams. ”

"President Chang had no choice but to ask Wen Yuqing to set up an institution called the Secret Telegraph Inspection and Translation Institute, which was specially responsible for listening to and deciphering the secret radio stations of the Japanese embassy and consulates."
