Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 457 Activating the "Red Mushroom"

After a brief discussion, Ye Shaohong went to the telegraph room.

He sent his predicament to the Nanjing headquarters of the Special Service through the telegraph machine.

At the same time, he requested assistance from the Nanjing headquarters to contact the undercover agents in Manchuria and help him search for the underground pipeline design drawings in the Hongkou Concession.

Within the internal power structure of the Special Service, Ye Shaohong ranked quite high.

As soon as his telegram was sent to the Nanjing headquarters, the personnel on duty in the telecommunications section immediately took action and reported the situation to his direct superior, the head of the telecommunications section.

The head of the Telecommunications Section at the Nanjing headquarters of the Special Service Department wielded considerable power; he could distinguish the hierarchical sequence of telegraphic codes. Upon seeing the telegram delivered by his subordinates, he only needed a glance to identify that the code level of this telegram was not one of the dozen or so he was familiar with.

It is clear.

This was a privilege reserved for high-ranking local officials of the Secret Service.

It is a high-level telegram that can only be decoded and translated by the Chief of Staff himself.

Realizing this, and recalling what his subordinates had said when they handed over the original telegram, he knew that the telegram had come from the Shanghai area.

The head of the telecommunications department immediately thought of a legend from the Special Service, the long-lost "Ye Yanluo".

It is said that...

Ye Yanluo is currently in Shanghai.

Having figured these things out, the head of the telecommunications department dared not delay or hesitate any longer. He immediately put the original telegram into his folder, got up, and headed towards Dai Yunong's office. When he arrived at Dai Yunong's office door, he knocked, and the short, stout, and round confidential secretary, Mao Renfeng, came out.

"Section Chief Zhou, do you wish to see the Division Chief?"

"Secretary Mao, excuse me, there's an urgent telegram from Shanghai..."

"Shanghai?"

Mao Renfeng raised an eyebrow. He was Dai Yunong's childhood friend and fellow villager, and had even done Dai Yunong a favor in the past. He could be considered Dai Yunong's absolute confidant.

Naturally, he also learned a great deal about the secret information within the intelligence agency.

Upon hearing the words "Shanghai," Mao Renfeng immediately understood.

"it is good."

"Please wait a moment, I will go and see the Chief."

Mao Renfeng gave a brief explanation, then turned and went into the room. Two or three minutes later, he came out again.

"Section Chief Zhou, please come with me. The Chief has time to see you now."

Led by Mao Renfeng, the head of the telecommunications department entered Dai Yunong's office, but as soon as he stepped inside, his steps involuntarily stopped.

What did he see?

He saw that inside Dai Yunong's office, there were still shards of a broken teacup scattered on the floor.

Dai Yunong's face was also ashen.

It's obvious.

Before he entered, Dai Yunong had just lost his temper, and may have even killed someone because of it.

The section chief's heart immediately jumped into his throat this week.

He dared not reveal his thoughts, quickly gathered his thoughts, and strode to Dai Yunong's desk.

"Chief, an urgent telegram from Shanghai, top-secret and encrypted."

"Yes, give it to me." Dai Yunong nodded, took the telegram, glanced at it, and his eyebrows immediately rose.

"It is indeed top-level encryption."

"Alright, I've kept the original telegram. When you leave later, have Qi Wu give you a receipt and file it in the archives."

Dai Yunong's cool words, when they reached Section Chief Zhou's ears, were like a spring breeze in the dead of winter, immediately relaxing his tense mind.

He didn't dare to delay or hesitate. After standing at attention and saluting, he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the door.

Dai Yunong did not pay much attention to him.

He put down the folder in his hand, got up and walked to the safe behind him. After opening it, he took out a dark gray notebook.

After sitting down again, he began translating the telegram bit by bit, referring to the numerical information recorded in his notebook. As more and more text was translated, Dai Yunong's expression grew increasingly solemn.

"Even Shao Hong couldn't find a breakthrough point?"

"This is troublesome."

After the telegram was translated, Dai Yunong put down his pen and unconsciously tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Knock knock knock knock..."

Amid a series of soft, small knocks, Mao Renfeng pushed the door open again and came in.

"Chief, the receipt from the Telecommunications Section has been prepared and delivered to Section Chief Zhou."

"Is there anything else you need?"

Mao Renfeng's sudden intrusion woke Dai Yunong from his reverie, and he stopped tapping on the table.

"Qi Wu".

Do you know the list of personnel undercover in Manchuria?

When Dai Yunong suddenly called out his name, Mao Renfeng was momentarily stunned, but he reacted quickly and came to his senses in an instant.

"I know a little, but not much."

"All I know is that our undercover agents in Manchuria suffered heavy losses not long ago, and the new personnel we sent out have not yet arrived."

"Currently, in Manchuria, we only have a few spies with single-line contact who are still deeply infiltrating."

Mao Renfeng thought for a moment and then responded.

"A spy contacting us alone?"

"Red mushroom?"

"Oh, right, I also have a hidden mole called Red Mushroom in Manchuria."

After Mao Renfeng's reminder, Dai Yunong immediately thought of the assassin he had high hopes for, named after the movie protagonist played by Butterfly.

His assassination squad was a headache even for the top brass of the Manchurian Special Higher Police.

"no solution anymore."

"The mission for Shao Hong is more important. Even though it's risky, we have no choice but to risk using this hidden device."

Having made up his mind, Dai Yunong got up again and went to the safe. After opening it, he took out a codebook from it.

Based on the information, he personally compiled a telegraphic code.

He raised his hand and handed it to Mao Renfeng.

"Qi Wu".

"Take this original code of the telegram and go to the Telecommunications Department in person. Have Section Chief Zhou send it to Manchuria using the call sign on the above frequency."

"Remember, the communication times are 8 PM, 10 PM, and 12 AM."

"If you don't receive a reply after three calls, come see me again tomorrow morning!"

Mao Renfeng had obviously handled this kind of specially arranged communication activity many times before, so he had no hesitation and immediately stepped forward to take the original manuscript of the telegram that Dai Yunong had compiled from his hands.

Then, without looking back, he turned and walked straight out of the office.

At the same time, Dai Yunong picked up the internal telephone on the table and dialed the number.

"Get me to the Second Operations Division."

"Is this Xu Baichuan? I am Dai Yunong. Come to see me immediately."

"By the way, has Zheng Yaoxian contacted you in the last few days? If so, bring over the telegram he sent to headquarters as well. I have a new task to give him!"
