But in the navy, this ratio is much higher. After all, this is the basis for the navy to transmit signals. Since there are many navy ships on the river, there must be many people who can understand his signals.
But whether the information can be sent out through the telegraph code depends more or less on luck. Engaging in intelligence work is not like marching to war. You have to be 100% sure before executing it. As long as there is a certain success rate, Luo Yangming is willing to give it a try.
It happened that the county government mobilized merchants in the city to "reward the soldiers." That night, Luo Yangming took a few men and carried several loads of wine and meat to the city in the name of reward. He first went to the hundred households who were responsible for guarding the Nanxun Gate, stuffed the mouths of the hundred households and his soldiers with good wine and meat, and then bribed the hundred households with a few taels of silver in the name of comfort, and got the permission to board the Nanxun Gate. Permission to "watch the enemy's situation" from the Xunmen Gate Tower.
Luo Yangming personally carried a load of wine and meat up to the city wall. The waiters he brought were eating and drinking with hundreds of households and their soldiers under the city wall. Luo Yangming specially selected a few trustworthy and good drinkers to accompany him, because he did not believe that the hundred households would not drink themselves unconscious. The wine he carried to the city wall was specially spiked, and several packets of special effects sweat medicine were mixed into the wine.
Those Cao Jun from various guards are all country guys. Eating meat is a good thing only during festivals. They will definitely not miss it when there is wine and meat, so they can't notice anything strange in the wine, which stuns them. It’s about getting it right. As expected, although the sentries on these towers were a little resistant at first, they became unscrupulous once they heard that they had the permission of Lord Baihu.
After a while, these sentries staggered to the side of the city tower, muttering in their mouths: "Good wine! Good wine!" These country bumpkins, everything on them is good wine, these are just cheap water wine, but mixed with some. It's just sweat medicine.
Luo Yangming couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to these boring things. Luo Yangming quickly took off the Australian oil lamp hanging on the head of the pole and sent a signal outside the city.
If possible, Luo Yangming would not use the inefficient method of telegraph code to transmit information. The particularity of the telegraph code determined that the information it conveyed should be as brief as possible, so Luo Yangming still preferred to use traditional methods to send intelligence. Using the traffic officer network, he could write a detailed intelligence analysis and send it out.
But now Luo Yangming doesn't have much choice, not to mention that no one may respond. Luo Yangming sent this message to the outside of the city over and over again: "I am a lone wolf, please reply!"
Every intelligence officer under the Foreign Intelligence Service has a code name, and Luo Yangming's code name is Lone Wolf. Luo Yangming now feels like a lone wolf, fighting alone without help.
After sending it countless times, Luo Yangming gradually felt tired and increasingly felt the hope was slim. Seeing that the night was already half over, should he give up?
At this time, the Fubo naval fleet on the Xijiang River sent him a signal back: "I am the center, received."
"Center" is the code name for the "superior" of the Foreign Intelligence Service. Seeing this signal, he was completely relieved. The Fubo Army not only noticed his signal, but also had intelligence personnel in the army, which made things much easier to handle. Luo Yangming was excited for a while, but the qualities of an excellent intelligence agent made him calm down immediately.
Luo Yangming immediately sent three messages. At this moment, Luo Yangming's behavior that seemed unusual to ordinary people caught someone's attention.
Just like every night before, Yang Yi was on duty at the Nanxunmen gate tower. Fortunately, tonight a rice merchant from the city came to reward him with wine and meat. The wine is very strong, very high, and a good wine. Yang Yi felt like he was drunk without drinking much, and he couldn't walk steadily.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but Yang Yi finally regained some consciousness. He planned to drink some more wine and eat some meat, but he found Luo Yangming next to the female wall, doing something sneaky and unknown.
I saw Luo Yangming operating the shade of the Australian oil lamp, opening and closing it, making the light flicker and go off. Yang Yi was very surprised and asked: "What are you doing?"
Luo Yangming was shocked, but deliberately did not show it. This Qiu Ba drank wine mixed with sweat medicine and woke up so quickly. His physique was really different from ordinary people. But Luo Yangming didn't have time to show his surprise. He pretended to be calm and said, "This military master didn't do anything."
Then when he saw that the person drinking him was Yang Yi, Luo Yangming had already thought of a response plan in an instant.
He decided to kill people and silence them. He couldn't let his strange behavior in the eyes of others spread. Now the Ming army had begun to kill people indiscriminately throughout the city. The slightest carelessness would be regarded as a trick and killed. Luo Yangming still wants to see the day when the glory of the Senate shines on the whole world, so this Yang Yi must die!
Yang Yi is greedy for money, which can be seen from the fact that he kept asking for reward money from himself when he brought the wine and meat. Luo Yangming took out a broken piece of silver weighing one or two pounds from his arms, raised it to Yang Yi, and said, "Come here, Master Jun, I'll give this to you."
Yang Yi swallowed and was led to the female wall. Luo Yangming reviewed in his mind the fighting skills he had learned during his previous training as an intelligence agent. In an instant, Luo Yangming stepped forward with the force of wind and thunder, held Yang Yi's head with both hands, twisted it hard, and broke Yang Yi's neck. . Luo Yangming hugged the body and pushed it gently to the bottom of the city wall.
Before dawn on April 13, in response to the three messages that had just been received from an intelligence agent code-named Lone Wolf lurking in Wuzhou City, an emergency intelligence analysis meeting was held at the headquarters of the No. 1 Mixed Brigade on Changzhou Island. Participants There are four veterans who are currently near Wuzhou City: Zhu Mingxia, Zhu Quanxing and Xu Xu, and some reliable senior naturalized officers: Yang Zeng, commander of the 8th Battalion, Zhang Dapao, commander of the siege artillery company, and Shi Nai, captain of the Pearl River Task Force. Germany, Zhu Mingxia concurrently served as the host of the meeting.
The first item on the agenda of the meeting was to analyze three important pieces of information received. This part is mainly responsible for Li Qi. Zhu Mingxia is not going to interrupt here, and no one else in the audience will interfere. After all, apart from the sporadic briefings heard so far, Li Qi is the only one who knows the situation best.
The atmosphere of the meeting was obviously a bit cold. Except for the brass kettle that had just boiled a pot of water on the coal stove in the tent and was emitting steam, no one seemed to plan to say anything. Even the first agenda item was supposed to play a starring role. Licensing is no exception. Zhu Mingxia understood that as the de facto supreme leader of the Wuzhou Campaign and the host of this meeting, it was impossible for him not to speak up and break the silence.
He glanced at Zhang Dapao and said, "Well, Xiao Zhang, make some tea."
The one with the least seniority here is Zhang Dapao. Although he has such a scary name, he is still almost the youngest among the eight people present. As for who is younger between him and Ruan Xiaowu, Zhu Ming and Xia Ke Can't tell. There is no doubt that Cannon must be the product of a certain elder's bad taste. Either Lin Shenhe or Ying Yu gave it this name. Zhang Dapao is an outstanding graduate of the artillery sergeant school. He started as an artillery corporal and rose to the position of artillery company commander within a few years. His military rank was also promoted from corporal to lieutenant. He can be said to be young and promising.
"Hey!" Zhang Dapao replied cheerfully. After that, he turned around and picked up the kettle to pour water into the water glasses in front of everyone. Tea leaves were already placed in the water glasses. Once the boiling water was soaked, it started to stir up and down.
"Let's have a sip of tea first to refresh ourselves." Zhu Mingxia was laughing: "This is a trophy seized at the Governor's Palace of Guangdong and Guangxi in Zhaoqing. I didn't have time for everyone to try it before. It is probably some good stuff collected by Xiong Wencan."
The atmosphere seemed to have eased a bit. Some people picked up the tea cups and sipped them slowly, while others kept breathing into the cups, trying to wait for the tea to cool down before drinking.
"Commander Xu, take a sip of tea and start speaking." Zhu Mingxia changed the subject, Xu Xu moistened his roar with tea, and then began to speak.
"After Lone Wolf received our response, he sent back three important pieces of information, namely, 'There are spies who have defected to the Ming army', 'If the Ming army is defeated, they will set fire to the city', and 'Most of the food stored in the city is shipped out.' The first one The intelligence is relatively vague: the only thing we can confirm is that Xiong Wencan received the help of a spy who is familiar with the characteristics of our army's tactics, otherwise Lone Wolf would not have specifically mentioned 'spy'.
"First of all, we can basically rule out the possibility of our army officers defecting to the Ming army camp. Because our army's personnel files are complete, dead officers have detailed death reports, and the few missing cases can be generally considered to be deaths where the body cannot be recovered. . We have no record of officers being captured or surrendering to the enemy. Therefore, it is certain that this spy may be a deserter in the army, or he may be a spy who has been in our army. He cannot be an ordinary citizen or a naturalized citizen. Cadres and employees, except those in the army and navy, and naturalized civilians in other systems know very little about our military’s tactics.”
Since this traitor is a deserter, he should only be familiar with the squad tactics of the Fubo Army. As for tactics above the company and battalion level, he is not much more familiar with our army than others. It makes little sense for Lone Wolf to attach such importance to him.
"The second piece of information and the third piece of information can be combined and analyzed together. First of all, let me explain that the Ming army is not sure of victory in this battle." This sentence caused a burst of laughter in the audience, and Zhu Mingxia coughed twice to signal silence.
Xu Xu took a sip of tea and continued: "...Otherwise, we would not have decided on such a countermeasure that would cut off our retreat. Whether it was setting fire to the city or transporting food out of the country, it was just to make our army unable to stay in Wuzhou and have to withdraw. , so that Xiong Wencan can make a comeback and make up for his crime. We have no control over what Xiong Wencan thinks. He is prepared to set fire to the city, which means that he plans to fight a few street battles with us to lure the main force of our army into the city so that he can come A fire burns the new field.
