Meng Shaoyuan looked at the unspectacular man in front of him with a look of respect he had never seen before!
It is no exaggeration to say that this man almost single-handedly defeated the entire Japanese combined fleet!
"Huo Shizi" Chi Buzhou never expected that Director Meng opposite him would actually say his real name.
But he didn't find it strange.
As a military commander, what kind of information can’t you get?
"Mr. Chi." Meng Shaoyuan calmed down and said, "Since you have always used the name Huo Shizi, I will also call you Huo Shizi when speaking to the outside world. This will also be good for your safety. "
"Okay, okay." Huo Shizi said repeatedly.
Originally, when he came to Shanghai this time, although He Yingqin had the reputation, he still felt uneasy.
After all, he is a member of the Zhongtong, and the people of the Zhongtong have always been at odds with the military, especially the conflict between Xu Enzeng and Meng Shaoyuan.
If the other party not only refuses to help, but also makes things difficult in every possible way, that will be troublesome.
However, now seeing Meng Shaoyuan's attitude, Chi Buzhou felt relieved.
Meng Shaoyuan was polite with him for a while, and asked Chi Buzhou about the purpose of coming here. In fact, he didn't need to tell the other person, but he also vaguely guessed something in his heart.
Sure enough, Chi Buzhou told Meng Shaoyuan that he came here for the Japanese secret code this time.
The Japanese army's secret code system was different, and the codes were different. Among them, the Army's secret code is the most difficult to decipher.
Therefore, Chi Buzhou decided to start with the secret code of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The secret codes Chi Buzhou received included English letters, numbers, and Japanese, with the majority being in English.
. But no matter which form, they all have one common feature, that is, there are no gaps between the characters and they are all closely connected.
Unlike English telegrams, each word is in a group, and Chinese telegrams are in a group of four digits.
For some English encrypted messages, you can only tell from the TOKYO in the header that they were sent from Tokyo, but you can't understand a word of the content.
At first, Chi Buzhou thought these secret messages were military secret messages. Later, based on their receiving addresses all over the world, he initially judged that they were Japanese diplomatic cables.
Chi Buzhou decided to start with the largest number of English secret codes.
"During the process of deciphering, I found that the most frequently used groups are ten groups. Let's assume that these ten groups are ten numbers from 0 to 9. If I can find out which one is '1' and which one is '2' , it will not be difficult to continue to find out the rules of their combination, so as to achieve the purpose of deciphering them one by one."
Chi Buzhou said enthusiastically there.
Meng Shaoyuan felt a little dizzy after hearing this. He had known that Yu Yanchu would come with him.
He asked tentatively: "Mr. Chi came to see me this time. What do you need me to do?"
"I have gradually figured out some patterns in the secret codes of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but I have no way to confirm it." Chi Buzhou frowned and said:
"There are ways to prove that my deciphering is correct, but it cannot be done in Chongqing, and I am only a small deputy chief and can't find anyone who can help me.
I later went to see Chief of Staff He Yingqin and Chief of Staff He told me that there is only one person who can do this, and that is you, Director Wang Meng of Shanghai! "
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
This tall hat is quite comfortable to wear.
Chi Buzhou immediately said: "I need the Japanese Embassy in Shanghai or Nanjing to send a telegram to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The content is that the Wang Jingwei puppet regime is secretly contacting Chongqing, and then I need a call back from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The difficulty in this matter is that I need several keywords to appear in the telegram. For example, 'China's battlefield is tight', 'Relations are easing', 'South and North' and so on. At the same time, this telegram must be sent in a top-secret manner. "
Well, it seems to be a bit difficult to handle.
It is not difficult to get the consulate and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to communicate with each other.
But it would be a bit of a headache to have the key words specified by Chi Buzhou appear in the telegram in a top-secret form. You can't order the Japanese to send a telegram like this, right?
"Director Meng, I know this matter is indeed a bit difficult." Chi Buzhou also said carefully: "But to verify whether my deciphering work has made progress, I can't think of any other way except this method.
Deciphering secret codes is a very cautious matter, and there is no room for any mistakes. I have also discussed with Wei Daxun from your department. Mr. Wei and Chief of Staff He have the same intention. You are the only one who can do this.
Moreover, Mr. Wei also said that it was you who stole the top-secret codes of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai, forcing the Japanese side, who later learned the truth, to change all the codes. "
At this point, he paused briefly: "Mr. Wei also said that you in Shanghai are rich and have a lot of good things, including several of the most advanced transmitters in the world. He asked me to come to Shanghai, so I might as well get one from you. Ten and eight stations.”
Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded.
Did this Wei Daxun instigate Chi Buzhou to come to his place to fight against the autumn wind?
Or ten or eight?
Do you really think that you are being taken advantage of?
After that, I will return to Chongqing and have a good theory with you.
"Mr. Chi, it is indeed very difficult to do this."
Chi Buzhou's face suddenly looked a little disappointed: "Director Meng, I know it's a little difficult for you, but this matter is really important. I was supposed to send someone else here, but I really don't feel at ease when I think about it, so it's me. Came in person.”
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "As for me, I do have some methods in Shanghai, but it may be difficult to get the Japanese Consulate to listen to me. However, since you, Mr. Chi, are here in person, I will always help you find a way That’s it.”
"thanks, thanks."
Chi Buzhou immediately said continuously: "If Director Meng can do it, he will really help me a lot."
"I'm not helping you, but this country." Meng Shaoyuan said sternly: "Mr. Chi, you can stay here with peace of mind. I will send the chief of my telecommunications department to accompany you. Can you visit my telecommunications department?" Equipment, see what’s in the photo, and just take it back when the time comes.”
This is generous.
The telecommunications equipment here in Meng Shaoyuan are all top-notch products.
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly asked: "Mr. Chi, did you come to Shanghai alone?"
"Yeah, alone."
He was so bold, he actually dared to come to Shanghai alone.
However, Chi Buzhou was not well-known at first, and almost no one knew of his existence.
Secondly, I am afraid that the Central Unification Party does not pay much attention to him.
Perhaps only Meng Shaoyuan knows the value of Chi Buzhou best so far.
But how to do what Chi Buzhou asked?
Maybe someone can do this:
Tian Qi!
We can only use Tian Qi’s trump card again!
With this person's ability, if he can mobilize the relationships around him, he might really be able to do it!
