The information he received showed that the "Barrel Plan" was indeed formulated by the Japanese Army. This was true, but it was implemented jointly with the Navy! Therefore, Mr. Sato in front of him was not telling the truth!
However, he didn't want to expose this point, there was no need!
"So, what do you want from me? Please feel free to say it. We should know everything between us."
"I heard that China hired a code-breaking expert from the United States. Is this true?"
"That's the case." Baker nodded easily in approval.
"I heard that China arranged for him to study for a lifetime, specializing in code-breaking work, is that right?"
"Yes." Baker remained calm, waiting for Mr. Sato to continue.
"I am more interested in one of them, his name is Xiao Ancheng."
"Why?"
"Actually, there is nothing special. This person and the gendarmerie he belongs to have caused me a lot of trouble! It gave me a lot of trouble! I heard that he is a very good telegraph operator. Did you hear that?
?"
Mr. Sato did not tell everything about Xiao Ancheng. Information should be exchanged with some reservations.
In addition, although Long Ruihua's radio repair shop in Wuhan is very close to Chen Zifeng's gendarmerie, it does not explain all the problems. Therefore, whether Xiao Ancheng is a communist is a big question mark!
But based on his understanding of Xiao Ancheng, this man is very smart, even extremely smart! So, the remaining question is, will he become an excellent code-breaking expert? This is the key to his concern for Xiao Ancheng!
Baker was silent for a moment and said softly: "I will inquire about this situation and then talk about it, okay?"
A bright smile appeared on Mr. Sato's face, "That would be best. Next time, maybe I will give you more important information! Major Baker, I believe you understand what I mean."
Major Baker nodded seriously, "I understand, and I look forward to seeing you again."

Baixiang Street is a very prosperous street. There are many shops on the street and pedestrians are crowded together.
Yuan Qinxin walked casually on the street, looking at the products on the stalls from time to time.
Xiao Zhang leaned against the wall, staring at the woman from the corner of his eyes. He looked around from time to time.
Finally, he saw a policeman coming this way from a distance, so he turned back and nodded to the other side. What he needs most now is a policeman!
When the dog on the other side saw his look, he quietly slipped out and approached Yuan Qinxin from behind. He followed the woman for a while, then suddenly bent down and reached out to her handbag.
However, Yuan Sexin is a trained agent after all, with keen senses, quick reactions, and faster attacks!
She vaguely noticed that her bag moved slightly, and when she turned around, she saw a black hand reaching into her bag. She immediately went to grab the hand. Unexpectedly, the hand was surprisingly fast! She saw herself in the blink of an eye.
Her wallet was taken out by that black hand! She tried to grab it again, but missed it!
A black shadow left her like lightning and flew away into the distance!
Yuan Qinxin was completely instinctive and immediately screamed, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
At the same time, she also rushed towards the black shadow in front of her!
The thief was not only a black shadow, he was like a ghost, flying left and right among the pedestrians.
Yuan Qinxin stared at the black figure and chased her while screaming: "Catch him! He is a thief!"
A big black man appeared in front of him, stretched out his hand to grab the black figure, and immediately threw him into the air, then threw him heavily to the ground, and pressed him tightly to the ground.
Yuan Qinxin rushed over and shouted: "He stole my wallet! Return my wallet quickly!"
The dog lay on the ground and screamed miserably: "Don't steal! I'm a good person! Don't accuse me wrongly!"
Gu Zhuzhu searched Gouzi's body and found nothing, so he looked up at Yuan Qinxin and said, "Miss, can you see clearly? Did he steal it?"
Yuan Qinxin shouted: "It's him! It's him!"
She was so unwilling that she even searched Gouzi but couldn't find anything. She looked around and saw that the ground nearby was clean and there was nothing! She kept staring at the thief, fearing that he would move the stolen goods, and she didn't even see him.
Throw the wallet away! It's weird! She didn't find her wallet!
Gu Zhuzhu said: "Miss, this is not easy. Look again, is the wallet really lost?"
Yuan Qinxin opened her bag and rummaged through it. Her wallet was indeed missing!
She could only continue to shout: "He stole it! It can't be wrong!"
Gu Zhuzhu shouted to the people around him: "You all get out of the way and see if there is anything under your feet!"
As expected, the people around him stepped back, but there was nothing on the ground!
At this time, Xiao Zhang finally came to his senses after being in the crowd. Just now, he had been in shock! Oh my god! This woman's reaction was so fast! She ran so fast! She was flying forward like a bird!
After he regained consciousness, he shouted in the distance: "Police, police, catch the thief!"
The police quickly ran over. But after asking and searching, they found it strange. The owner had lost his wallet, and the thief had caught it, but it was not on him, and he kept complaining.
He looked at the beautiful Yuan Qinxin, then at the dirty dog, and said, "Let's go! Go to the police station!"

The code-breaking training class is not in the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, but on the hill behind Hongya Cave.
When Liu Li led eighteen students up the mountain, she introduced: "It used to be a primary school run by a church. It has been closed for a long time and was requisitioned by us. The house is a bit old, but it is still good and the place is quite spacious.
.”
The road up the mountain was not paved with stones, and it rained a little at night, so the road was a little muddy.
People who go up the mountain carefully choose the path under their feet to avoid slipping.
Xiao Ancheng noticed that Feng Jicheng was wearing a neat suit today. He looked very stylish and walked more carefully. However, Feng Jicheng occasionally looked back at him.
Liu Li asked something that everyone wanted to ask but couldn't ask: "Have you finished your homework?"
Almost everyone looked at each other, hoping to see other people's expressions and know whether they had finished their homework!
Liu Li smiled happily, as if she had guessed their thoughts.
She turned to Xiao Ancheng, "Are you done?"
Xiao Ancheng glanced at her, tilted his mouth and said, "I have a lot of questions to ask Mr. Herbert!"
Feng Jicheng came close to Xiao Ancheng and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, do you really see what's going on? I can't understand anything! Do you really see it? What do you see?" He kept asking.
.
Xiao Ancheng shook his head vigorously, "It's impossible for us to see anything from those telegrams!"

The houses built by the church all have one thing in common: the roofs are very high.
There is no glass on the slender windows, and the outside wind blows in through the windows, giving people a cool feeling.
Eighteen desks are neatly arranged in the classroom. There is a blackboard hanging on the front wall, and there is a desk next to it, which belongs to Mr. Herbert. At this time, he folded his arms in front of his chest and stood
Next to the desk.
All the students were sitting expressionlessly. Only Xiao Ancheng stood behind the table, holding his head high and ready to sacrifice generously at any time.
Mr. Herbert slowly walked up to him and stared at him. For a moment, he turned back and pointed to Liu Li, gesturing for her to translate.
"Mr. Xiao, please say what you just said again!" Herbert's face was very stern!
"Sir, what you left for us is not homework! Those telegrams are impossible to decipher!"
"Why!" Mr. Herbert raised his voice.
Liu Li first translated Mr. Herbert's words, and then said: "Xiao Ancheng, if you have something to say, please speak it up!"
Xiao Ancheng didn't use her to translate. He could still understand the word "why"! He also knew that he should say something carefully, but he just couldn't help it! This foreigner looked down upon the first grade student by giving him such an assignment.
Chinese!
He said: "Sir, these telegrams are all telegrams recorded in Chinese codes! It is impossible for the Japanese to send Chinese codes!"
"Did you see it?" Herbert asked with a sullen face and some surprise.
"Isn't this obvious! The copies are all numbers, and they are copied according to the Chinese code!"
After listening to Liu Li's translation, Mr. Herbert stared at Xiao Ancheng for a while, and then returned to his table.
He said: "Mr. Xiao, please sit down."
Xiao Ancheng sat down and looked at him with his shoulders straight.
Mr. Herbert shrugged and showed a strange smile, "I originally thought that it would take at least ten days for you to see it. I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao would see it on the first day."
He picked up a piece of chalk and quickly wrote a set of numbers on the blackboard: 1398284174359206.
He knocked on the blackboard and said: "I originally planned to teach you this lesson in about ten days. However, since Mr. Xiao has already raised this point, I will talk about it first. You are all the best telegraph operators.
, I believe you can understand."
He drew a horizontal line under the group of numbers and said: "This is a paragraph I selected from a telegram, just to use it to illustrate the problem raised by Mr. Xiao!"
He continued: "You can all see that in this group of numbers, if you look at them as a group of four numbers, there is no Chinese code. We usually naturally think that this is encrypted! But it is more likely
Yes, its original message was sent in English or Japanese, and our monitor only copied it according to the Chinese message code he is most familiar with! Therefore, as Mr. Xiao said, this set of messages is impossible to decipher!"
"The first point I want to tell you is that from now on, you should all learn a little English and Japanese until you can decipher English or Japanese telegrams! The agreement I signed with Mr. Dai is for one year, so,
You have to study English and Japanese for at least a year! Otherwise, you will just come here in vain!"?
