Chapter 289: One wave hasn't settled before another rises
After comparison.
They have confirmed.
The 1937 first edition of the Chinese Dictionary is the weasel's codebook.
The code-breaking team is currently translating the weasel's incoming and outgoing messages.
Damn it!
The leakage of the codebook caught Chen Yongren off guard.
Damn it!
How did these bastards find this dictionary among a vast collection of books?
I miscalculated.
I should have thought of this earlier!
It's true that there are many Chinese books, but it's also true that a dictionary corresponds to only one Chinese character.
Something has happened.
Damn it, something big has happened!
Given that the codebook has already been leaked, how should we send and receive messages, and how should we report to Boss Dai, given that the codebook has already been leaked?
How should we replace the new codebook?
And most importantly, where is this damn code-breaking group?
Chen Yongren suddenly realized another problem.
I have been in and out of the Special Agency several times, yet I seem never to have heard the thoughts of the code-breaking personnel.
This simply does not make sense.
When I previously rescued Lin Daoyou, even the bastards hiding underground could dig themselves out.
This insight should be three-dimensional, not flat.
They can't possibly keep hiding in airplanes all the time, can they?
No matter where they hide, we must drag them out and kill them all.
Just then, a knocking sounded at the door.
"Who is it again!" Tengyuan Jintai said in an unfriendly tone.
"Major His Excellency, I have important information to report!"
"Get lost!" Tengyuan Jintai glared at the unlucky Japanese soldier, his tone unfriendly.
"Hai!" The unlucky fellow, relieved, covered his flushed face and hurried away.
Next, a lieutenant carrying a telegram and holding a dictionary in his arms hurried in, a smug smile on his face.
"Idiot, you fool, can you still laugh now?" Tengyuan Jintai's face darkened: "What on earth could make you so happy?"
The Japanese lieutenant's body twitched, and he glanced at Chen Yongren.
"Major His Excellency, then I'll not disturb you…" Chen Yongren decisively thought of slipping away.
Even without knowing that the weasel's codebook had been broken, I could still easily remove myself.
The weasel could change its codebook for various reasons, and no matter how much the old Japanese devil Tengyuan suspected, he would not suspect me.
If one can dispel suspicion, one should do so as much as possible.
With so many skills at hand, don't unnecessarily take the blame—that is Chen Yongren's experience in lying low.
The old codebook definitely cannot be used again.
We must definitely find an opportunity to replace it.
"Who would have thought Tengyuan Jintai would say, 'Idiot, I've said it many times, Chen Sang is one of us—speak quickly if you have something to say.'"
"Today there have already been too many problems, my mood is terrible, I warn you, don't keep me in suspense any longer!"
Damn it!
This old devil!
Chen Yongren suddenly felt that being too trusted is not necessarily a good thing.
After knowing this, if I still want to replace the codebook, I must add some steps.
The more you do, the more mistakes you'll make.
Fuck your mother!
"Hai!" The Japanese lieutenant stood at attention and said, "Major His Excellency, the code-breaking team, half an hour ago, based on the intercepted weasel telegram, discovered a pattern and successfully broke the weasel's code."
"After confirmation, the codebook is indeed the 1937 first edition of the Chinese Dictionary."
"Currently we are translating, according to the codebook, the weasel's and the Military Statistics Bureau's incoming and outgoing messages."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Tengyuan Jintai still thought his ears had a problem, looking incredulously at the lieutenant.
"Has the weasel's code been broken?"
"Hai!" The Japanese lieutenant stood at attention, handing over the telegram together with the dictionary to Tengyuan Jintai: "The entire decryption process is on the telegraph paper; please review!"
"Moreover, several parts of the weasel's recent telegrams all correspond!"
Tengyuan Jintai quickly glanced at the telegraph paper.
He wanted to curse his mother inside, but Chen Yongren's face showed a delighted expression: "Commander Tengyuan, if this is true, then from now on, whatever the weasel wants to do will be under our control!"
"We can know where this guy is hiding, and even dig out the moles hiding inside!"
"This code-breaking team is indeed different!" Tengyuan Jintai nodded satisfactorily: "Chen Sang, look."
"They discovered that, from the position of each string of numbers, with a large span, the corresponding Chinese characters follow a certain pattern."
"This is nothing like the situation that would appear in literary works such as novels published on the market."
"Moreover, some numbers appear frequently and are fixed, leading them to infer whether these numbers can correspond to only one Chinese character!"
And this means that, if these numbers were replaced with other Chinese characters, the meaning of the telegram would become ambiguous…
Only a dictionary can produce this effect; there's nothing else!
Chen Sang, you see, although the yellow weasel is cunning, no matter how cunning the prey, it cannot outwit a resourceful hunter!
Tengyuan Jintai wore a smile that could not be concealed.
Compared to today's situation, discovering the codebook of a senior agent of the Military Statistics Bureau is a rare piece of good fortune.
No!
It's a tremendous piece of good fortune!
Even if held accountable, this matter is enough to silence those above.
This is not merely capturing a codebook; it is deciphering it!
The code-breaking team has rendered great service this time!
Director Tengyuan Jintai, with such a great achievement, we must certainly protect the safety of the code-breaking team!" Chen Yongren said in a low voice; "If the yellow weasel notices, he will surely strike at the code-breaking team!
Don't forget, we still have an enemy mole inside.
We don't yet know how many enemy moles there are or where they are hiding.
Chen Sang, you really mean well, but rest assured, our code-breaking team is quite safe!" Tengyuan Jintai smiled and patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder.
We communicate only by telegram; besides themselves, no one knows their exact location.
Even I don't know; even if the yellow weasel wanted to decipher, it could only fret.
Ganlin Niang!
Chen Yongren cursed under his breath, 'Cunning!' Anyone who could think of this idea must be an old fox with one foot already in the coffin!
Oh?" Chen Yongren feigned surprise: "That's really interesting; since that's the case, I can relax.
Director Tengyuan Jintai, I think we should now closely monitor his telegrams and, based on his next move, deploy an appropriate capture plan!
Just as they were speaking, the telephone on the desk rang again.
Who called?
Tengyuan Jintai frowned slightly.
Chen Yongren quickly walked to the desk and picked up the telephone.
This is Fujiwara Special Agency.
What did you say? Gaotian Longyi has arrived?
In three hours, it will reach Songhu?
Let's wait for him inside the command headquarters; he has something important to announce?
Hearing this, Tengyuan Jintai's face changed drastically; he snatched the telephone from Chen Yongren's hand and snapped, 'Damn it, he came, why didn't you tell me beforehand?'
