The third book is "Principles of Modern Cryptography" written by an Englishman, which is a relatively advanced theoretical book.
The cryptography of the Holy See is a peak, and it has long been at the top of cryptographic applications. No one can get the program to create that set of codes. The Holy See guards this cryptographic system as tightly as it guards the shroud of Christ.
Apart from the Holy See, the country with the most complete development of cryptography applications is the United Kingdom, followed by Germany. Although Germany is a rising star, it is on par with the United Kingdom in terms of cryptography.
"Principles of Modern Cryptography" was too profound, so Lu Ming could only take it back and study it as a textbook. Unfortunately, all three books were in English and there was no Chinese translation.
Yuan Mingzhu learned English in a girls' school. If she wants to read English books such as "Jane Eyre", "Pride and Prejudice" and "Wuthering Heights", it is basically enough to use a large English-Chinese dictionary, but it may be difficult to read such specialized books.
Nothing more to catch.
Lu Ming asked her to take it out and study it first. If she encounters something she doesn't understand, she should first look it up in the Oxford English-Chinese Dictionary. If she can't find it in the dictionary, she can ask him again.
Yuan Mingzhu didn't know she fell into Lu Ming's trick, so she went back to study with the book in her hands. After a few years, she suddenly realized that Lu Ming was trying to deal with her entanglement and thought of this way to get rid of her.
It's quite unintentional.
Lu Ming lowered his head and began to study. He was not very worried about Yuan Ziyuan's safety now. After listening to Huang Yanning's description, he concluded that Ziyuan was under house arrest by four Japanese.
Since it is under house arrest, it means that the Japanese have no need to silence them, and they even want to force Ziyuan to give something valuable in exchange for freedom. Yuan Ziyuan must have something important in his hand that whets the appetite of the Japanese and occupies it.
Got the upper hand.
Lu Ming could not know exactly Yuan Ziyuan's intention, but he knew that Ziyuan told Huang Yanning that only he could save her, which meant that Yuan Ziyuan believed that this matter was related to Lu Ming and that no one else could get involved.
But why did Yuan Ziyuan think so? How could Ziyuan have something that the Japanese valued so much? Lu Ming couldn't understand.
Around Lushan, Sheng Youde had already mobilized his forces to search for Ziyuan, even using gangster forces. Under such great pressure, the Japanese resorted to taboo and would not attack Yuan Ziyuan for a while.
Based on the information he already had, Lu Ming believed that the move to place Yuan Ziyuan under house arrest this time was definitely a decision made by senior Japanese officials.
It can be seen from the method of house arrest of Yuan Ziyuan that the Japanese side sent relatively high-quality professionals and the action plan was very thorough and covert.
One characteristic of professionals is that they do things very precisely and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately or harm the parties involved excessively. In a word, the task comes first and they do not do any unnecessary things that are not related to the task goal.
What I fear most is falling into the hands of crazy and perverted people, such as livestock organizations like the Black Dragon Society.
Now it seems that this possibility can be ruled out, and Yuan Ziyuan is in a relatively safe situation.
No matter how much you think about it, it won't help. It's better to study cryptography in a down-to-earth manner.
Lu Ming devoted himself wholeheartedly to code cracking. Although he knew that Yuan Ziyuan did not understand cryptography, the information hidden in three letters by one person could definitely be found using cryptography principles.
Yuan Ziyuan did not suffer any torture. She was still dressed as elegantly as she was on the boat, and her head and feet were spotless.
She was sitting on a rosewood Taishi chair made in the mid-Qing Dynasty, directing four Japanese men and a Japanese woman in her thirties to move around.
The four popular Japanese noses were about to spit fire, but there was nothing they could do. They were given strict instructions from above. Miss Yuan must stay alive before the important mission of the empire can be carried out.
If Miss Yuan dies, the important mission of the empire will be exposed, and they will have to be buried with her.
Yuan Ziyuan understood the situation clearly after dealing with them for a while, quickly grasped their psychology, and explained the conditions to them openly and honestly. She voluntarily accepted their house arrest and cooperated fully, but in daily life, they must
Completely obey her command and give her whatever she wants.
If the Japanese do not agree to these conditions, she will definitely think of committing suicide. Once she commits suicide, the confidential documents she left in the hands of her friends will be sent to the newspaper office. The next day, major newspapers in Shanghai will use the headlines to publish this shocking news.
As long as she lives, secret documents will not be exposed publicly. What Yuan Ziyuan is waiting for is the secret exposure, and Sheng Muyi is on the way to this goal.
Everyone is waiting.
The Japanese can only fully accept Yuan Ziyuan's conditions, but she must be under their control. The Japanese dare not bet that this confidential document is false, at least Yuan Ziyuan herself is another confidential document and cannot be leaked.
The order the four Japanese received was to put Yuan Ziyuan under house arrest or forcibly detain her, but without causing any harm, let alone any intrusion. They must ensure that Yuan Ziyuan was handed over to her without a trace of hair afterwards.
If anything happens to Yuan Ziyuan, these four Japanese will not only have to have a caesarean section to apologize, but their family members in Japan will also be harmed.
The Japanese woman was an outsider. As a servant of a Japanese family, there was no difference between serving a Japanese landlady and serving a Chinese lady, so she was the only one who worked hard without complaining.
These four Japanese did not know the real situation behind this operation. The instructions they received came from the commander of the Kwantung Army himself. They were told that Yuan Ziyuan possessed a shocking secret of the empire.
This secret message may be handwritten, or it may be a photo or film negative, but no matter what form of secret message it is, once they find it, they must seal it immediately and send it back to the Kwantung Army headquarters through secure channels, where it will be received by the commander himself.
No one has the right to know the contents of confidential documents.
If they can't find this secret document, they must put Yuan Ziyuan under house arrest and provide perfect protection. When the secret document is decrypted, Yuan Ziyuan can be released, and the mission of the four of them will be completely completed.
These four Japanese reluctantly carried out this inexplicable task. They had no choice but to do so. This kind of unexplained, extremely tough-worded, and uncompromising order was often related to the interests of the empire, and there was no room for sloppiness.
They can only carry out the mission bravely and comfort themselves: it is precisely because they are the elite of the empire that they were selected to carry out such an important mission.
They thought of a sentence mentioned in the directive: "At a certain moment, a major event that changes the history of Asia and even the entire world may occur." They couldn't help but tremble with excitement. Just think about what kind of event this would be.
I understand somewhat.
In order to ensure the safety of the empire's great cause, they would rather "endure the humiliation" and cooperate with Yuan Ziyuan.
Japan is an extremely patriarchal country. In the Japanese view, women, soft animals, are just creatures that serve men, bear children for men, and allow men to vent their desires. Other than that, they have no use whatsoever.
In the early days of capital accumulation, Japan did not hesitate to send a large number of young women to prostitutes in Southeast Asia, and used the money to manufacture guns, cannons and warships. It was not ashamed of this, but felt that it was a matter of course.
It is believed that these women sacrificed themselves for the country and maximized their own value as women.
During the period when Yuan Ziyuan was under house arrest, the four Japanese men could only swallow their anger and silently endure Yuan Ziyuan's "indulgence". When they had time, they would take turns going to a place where no one was around and yelling loudly.
