The birthday song rang.

"Brother Yao, make a wish." Gong Hui walked closer, pretty, looking at Luo Yao with bright eyes.

"I think you are reminding me that this way is one year older, right?" Luo Yao was very moved. He had forgotten his birthday, but everyone around him still remembered it.

Before we knew it, time flies so fast.

It has been two years since I escaped from the death of Jinling.

The past two years have been so touching. I have gone from a salted fish underground worker to the head of a military bureau agency. Although his identity has not changed, people have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Can't go back to the past.

Then you can only struggle hard and live towards the future.

People who have died once have nothing to fear and wish? Luo Yao thought for a moment, closed his eyes and muttered silently in his heart, then opened his eyes and blew out all the candles in one breath.

"Dad, happy birthday." Xiaonan was the first to come forward, holding a scroll of rolled up with both hands.

"Xiao Nan, is this a birthday gift for dad?"

"Yes." Xiaonan nodded vigorously.

"Thank you Xiao Nan." Luo Yao reached out and took it, but did not open it immediately. No matter what gift Xiao Nan gave, it was the child's wish, and it was worth it aside.

"Brother Yao, cut the cake first." Gong Hui greeted.

"Okay, cut the cake!" Luo Yao smiled and picked up Xiao Nan, "Xiao Nan, can you cut the cake with your father?"

"good!"

"Give this to Xiaonan."

"Thank you, dad." Xiao Nan had long been greedy. This cream cake was so delicious that she could never forget it after trying it once.

In this era, butter cake is indeed a rare thing. It is hard to afford it for ordinary families. Just a piece of cake, the salary of ordinary people will be gone for a month. How many people can be willing to spend a month just to eat?

"We won't just eat cake tonight, are we?"

"How could that be? Sister Hui personally rolled a bowl of longevity noodles for you." The guy Tiger couldn't wait to ask for me.

"Yeah?"

"Isn't this your birthday? I'm just thinking about making a bowl of noodles for you. Haven't you eaten the noodles I made for you for a long time?" Gong Hui said with a shy face.

"I will definitely eat the noodles you make." Luo Yao nodded, "Let's go, I'm hungry, let's have a meal."

"It's time to eat..." Xiao Nan clapped his hands and called out, and the little girl slowly walked out of her sadness and became much more lively.

"In our family, there are not many opportunities to get together for dinner. Today's opportunity is rare. I suggest that we have a drink!" Luo Yao raised his glass and said.

"Dad, I want to toast too."

"You can't do it, children can't drink."

"Xiao Nan has done it."

"Old Dong, Old Dong..."

"Oh, here, here, sir, your fish will be ready soon. Wait for a while, it will be no longer the heat..."

"Don't worry, come and have a drink first?"

Old Dong ran over.

"Today is my birthday, and I have forgotten it myself. Here, I want to thank Gong Hui. If she hadn't remembered, there would be no meal tonight. I am very happy. Although we come from different places, being able to get together in the mountain city is fate. Thank you very much for your care and tolerance for me. Thank you everyone, I will give you my respect for this glass first!" Luo Yao picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Brother Yao is right. We are all foreigners in the mountain city. We are just foreigners in a foreign land. Only by joining together can we survive here and get everything we want!" Gong Hui also said later.

"cheers!"

That night, Luo Yao, as the protagonist, was very restrained. Although he drank a lot of alcohol, he was always sober.

However, Gong Hui didn't know that it was because she was emotional. She drank a lot by herself, but in the end she was already drunk.

He was drunk in Luo Yao's arms.

If Luo Yao hadn't helped her back to the room quickly, she wouldn't know what kind of drunken words she would have said.

...

Luo Yao almost couldn't control the cold water in the room just now, if it weren't for the fact that he had a hint of clarity in his head.

I might have been sitting down tonight.

Whether you are willing or not, good things must be done in good times, otherwise it will leave you with a lifetime of regret.

He believed that he was not a moral gentleman, but at least he was a gentleman, so he did not do anything to take advantage of others' danger.

Work has to continue. When I woke up the next day, I asked, but Gong Hui had not yet gotten up.

Xiaonan still has to go to school.

The car that picked her up and dropped her off has arrived.

Depart with the car.

"Sir, I'm having breakfast. Do you want to call Miss Hui?" Old Dong came out of the kitchen with a tray of buns in his apron.

"Forget it, let her sleep a little longer." Luo Yao sat down, took a sip of millet porridge, and thought for a while.

"Then I will put Miss Hui's breakfast in the steamer and warm it up, and wait for her to get up before eating?"

"OK."

After Luo Yao finished breakfast, he greeted Yang Fan: "Tiger, I'm leaving."

...

"Director Luo, based on the triangular positioning method, we determined that the mysterious radio signal we discovered before was in this area!"

When they returned to their jobs, Chi An and Wen Xueren came to report on their work together.

On the map, Chi An drew an area with a radius of about five or six kilometers in the south bank of Shancheng, and pointed at it.

“The embassy area on the south bank?”

"We suspect that the radio station is hidden in this area, but this is the location of embassies of various countries. Even if there are Japanese spies in it, we cannot enter and search." Chi An nodded.

The embassy is an extension of a country's territory. International law stipulates that it has diplomatic immunity. Without the permission of the embassy, ​​it cannot enter the embassy of any country, even if it is a hostile country.

"Just monitor closely." Luo Yao had no good idea for a moment, so he could only do this, and he had no idea about deciphering.

"Director, we now study the Japanese Navy's secret code, which requires a large number of Japanese Navy communications and messages for research, but the number of intercepted by ourselves is far from enough. In this regard, the secret inspection can provide help. They have secret monitoring stations along the eastern coast of Zhejiang and overseas, and intercepting Japanese Navy messages is much more convenient than us..." Chi Andao.

"Just based on our current relationship with the Secretariat Procuratorate, do you think they will hand over these intercepted telegrams to us?" Luo Yao smiled bitterly.

"So should we set up some monitoring sites?"

"Where do you get the manpower, where does the funding come from?" Luo Yao asked.

"There is not a big problem with manpower, I am just responsible for monitoring and intercepting communications and telegrams. This is only a little training. The problem is the funding issue. In addition, establishing monitoring stations overseas requires reporting to the local countries and governments. Otherwise, if it is secretly established, it will be difficult to say about security. Moreover, the initial investment in establishing observation stations overseas will be quite large, and it will require a lot of money." Chi An analyzed.

"This matter may not be solved for a while, but monitoring stations can be established in eastern Zhejiang and Fujian. If overseas people are not considered, we do not have the ability to cooperate with the secret inspection office. If they do not cooperate, they will think of other solutions." Luo Yao thought for a while and said.

"Um."

...

"Do you want to set up a monitoring station along the eastern coast of Zhejiang?"

"Yes, it is mainly for monitoring and intercepting the secret communications of the Japanese Navy, providing samples for our deciphering of the secret communications of the Japanese Navy." Luo Yao explained, "If possible, I also want to set up overseas stations in Hong Kong, the coastal defense in French Indochina or Star Singapore in the Strait of Malacca."

"We don't need to consider overseas stations for the time being. We can consider setting up a coastal area of ​​eastern Zhejiang. We also need to master the trends of the Japanese Navy to ensure the safety of our overseas aid materials." Dai Yunong nodded.

“Yes, thanks sir for your support.”

"By the way, the boss plans to effectively integrate the secret telegram deciphering agencies in the government. In the past few days, they may convene the heads of various institutions to discuss the integration matters. You must be mentally prepared." Dai Yunong reminded Luo Yao.

"Sir, how do you plan to integrate the above?" Luo Yao was not surprised. The integration wind had been blowing for a long time.

The old man saw that the "X" group played a key role in deciphering Japanese secret codes in the Hunan City Battle, so he naturally wanted to firmly control this department in his own hands.

"It should be merged into a new institution, and you will know the specifics when the time comes." Dai Yunong said.

"yes."

...

Sister Xing took her four children and finally arrived at the mountain city. Luo Yao and Shen Yu drove to pick up the people they had.

After the wind and frost along the way, Sister Xing looked much haggard. Her husband was imprisoned, and the family lost their income and their lives were in trouble.

If Luo Yao hadn't made any arrangements, the family of five wouldn't know how to come to Shancheng. In that case, she would have to send her children to her hometown in southern Hunan and come to Shancheng alone to take care of her husband.

This is the first time that several children have seen uncle Shen Yu, and they feel very close. As for uncle Luo Yao (who asked by Sister Xing to have each one of them), they have met before. Although they only met each other and didn't say much, they at least knew each other.

As for Gong Hui and others, it was the first time they met.

Shen Yu's place is small, so there must be no one living there. Luo Yao had rented a small yard in Shapingba.

Although it is a little smaller, there is definitely no problem with the family living.

Yu Jie still has some savings, enough for the family to live, but after severing income, it is undoubtedly a bit stressful for the family.
