Suddenly, a secret war raged across Asia, and the telegraph network between Europe and Asia was twice as busy. All countries expressed serious concern about this conflict in the Far East.
But Xiao Letian's calculations are very sophisticated. He knows that the direct telegraph network between Europe and Asia will not be fully connected until next summer at the earliest. In addition, the Suez Canal will not be completed until next autumn. Therefore, whether it is between Europe and Asia, The mobilization of intelligence or materials and troops is a very difficult matter.
Therefore, Ryukyu still has plenty of time, and preparations for the war are in progress. When Xiao Letian received the latest intelligence in Japan, he immediately gave instructions to "concentrate all resources to decipher the Russian coded messages. In addition, he asked Xiao Hexin to soften his attitude and ask for help from Britain, the United States and France for adjustment. The principle here is the same as fishing. Yes, if you want to put out a long line to catch big fish, you must know how to reel in the line at any time and then let it out again. You must not be so tough as to scare the big fish away..."
After receiving instructions from Xiao Letian, the CIA immediately became busy. Xiao Hexin began to frequently visit envoys from various countries stationed in the capital, as well as some prestigious Christian clergy groups, hoping that everyone could show goodwill to Russia and expressed that Ryukyu's negotiations were absolutely open. It won't close.
But the conflict in the last negotiation was too intense, especially that popular saying that completely made Ulan Geli famous. Now even if he wanted to negotiate, he was too embarrassed to negotiate. Swallowed by anger, he began to directly ask The Far East issued an order requiring Diyachenko to wipe out the volunteers at full speed and obtain first-hand evidence.
At the same time, he also sent continuous secret messages to Moscow, explaining the danger of the situation in the Far East, hoping that the Tsar could send a large army to conquer these heretics.
"Despicable Chinese, are you afraid now? It's too late. The great Tsarist Russia will burn you to death with thunder and flames. You are not worthy of ruling this land. The Russian warriors will never accept humiliation!"
Xiao Hexin's goodwill was understood by Ulan Geli as cowardice. His attitude became more and more tough, and his direct command of the Far East became more and more busy.
But he ignored a big problem. The current telegraph lines from Beijing to North Korea and Japan are completely operated by the Ryukyu Telegraph Company. There are American shares, Qing people's shares, and even British, Japanese and a small amount of Hunan. The only shares of the army group that do not belong to the Russians are the Russians.
Ulan Geli sent a telegram from Beijing to the Chongjin area of North Korea first. Then the encrypted telegram was garbled and went north by boat or horse, and it took three to four days to send it to Vladivostok.
And if Diyachenko wants to send a message to Beijing, he has to go through such a process. Isn't it very inconvenient? But there is no way. Russia has not yet built a good telegraph line in the Far East. Historically, the telegraph network in the Far East was gradually built with the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The permafrost zone in the Far East had little economic value at the time. The Tsar would not invest in huge telegraph lines for some wood and fur. That would not be cost-effective.
With no choice, they could only borrow the telegraph network in the south, and these networks were controlled by Xiao Letian.
The CIA was able to easily obtain the encrypted Russian messages. Although they were all garbled, the deciphering work went smoothly due to the addition of French intelligence geniuses.
Since telegraph technology is a completely new field for this world, no country has much experience in using it. The so-called encryption technology of the Russians is to compile 33 Russian letters into a set of code tables of different lengths. To outsiders, it looks like meaningless gibberish, but as long as you master the code deciphering table, you can restore it to its original form. message.
This cracking work is not responsible, but requires the cooperation of many parties. For example, Beijing deliberately revealed some false important information, and then monitored the Russian Embassy's telegraph network to obtain the time when the telegram was released.
After receiving the message halfway, he used the garbled table to compare it with the original false information. This is a very brain-intensive task, and it will be very difficult at first because you can't decipher a single letter.
However, as the workload increases, you will decipher it letter by letter. As you decipher more and more letters, the possibility of deciphering the information becomes greater.
Of course, the first letters to be deciphered were the letters that made up the names of people. Ulan Geli, Diyachenko, Etolin... These were all personal names to be marked on the header and end of the message, so these letters were deciphered immediately.
Next came the place names, Vladivostok, Ussuri River, Far East, Sandaogou...these fixed place names were slowly deciphered, and nearly 20 Russian letters were revealed in just the names of people and places.
It only took a month for Ryukyu to successfully master the Russian cipher table. Since then, all the Russian telegrams have lost their disguise, and they have been completely exposed on the desk of the CIA.
Xiao Letian looked at the fresh telegrams one after another and couldn't help but sigh, "Hey... So these old idiots hate me so much? All the telegrams start and end with curses on me. It seems that the relationship between you and me is... The contradiction is irreconcilable..."
"No, our Ryukyu message encryption method needs to be upgraded. It can't be that simple..."
The CIA quickly received Xiao Letian's latest order, in which Xiao Letian asked the CIA to select one hundred commonly used Chinese books and number them into volumes.
Then the number of pages and the male ranking number of each book are used to code. For example, in Xiao Letian's book Three Hundred Tang Poems, the poem "Silent Night Thoughts by Li Bai" is included on page 25.
"Silent Night Thoughts, Tang Li Bai. There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and it is suspected to be frost on the ground..." If clear words need to be used in this information, then his code names are, 25 and 9, which means the ninth word on page 25 .
The enemy deciphered Ryukyu's encrypted code, but they had no idea whether the code represented letters or numbers. Even if they knew it was numbers, they would not have thought that it was an encryption method using ancient books.
Even if they knew that it was encrypted using ancient books, they would not know which book it was, let alone figure out the order in which a hundred books were used.
In other words, unless there is a spy leaking the secret, and it must be a high-level mole, no one in the world will be able to decipher Ryukyu's intelligence.
This is the advantage of the time traveler. At least in the intelligence war, Xiao Letian is already in an invincible position, and the poor Russians will definitely get victory.
