2321 Mysterious Guest
The UK has achieved full coverage of telegraphs. Telegraph offices exist in all towns with a population of more than 10,000, and even telegraph lines are connected to the islands on the sea.
There are also several telegraph lines from England to Ireland, and many of them have telegraph office nodes.
The Wing King's drift on the sea for more than two months can not only get the latest telegram messages at the port terminal, but also get London's instructions on many islands during his voyage.
For example, the largest island on the Isle of Man, the largest island on the sea of Ireland, often has Foundation intelligence personnel to receive information. They only need to send a set of passwords to the telegraph machines in the East Palace in London that only Chinese can understand. Those senders who have been stationed in front of the telegraph machines for a long time will issue the latest orders of the head of state to the corresponding person.
The Wing King has his own secret code, and Pierre also has Pierre's code. The Palace Telegraph Office will only release the corresponding messages to the corresponding person based on the password table. Different levels have different confidential files, and the Wing King is obviously the highest level.
The secret code of the Wing King is taken from the Art of War collected by Sun Tzu during the reign of Renzong of the Song Dynasty. According to the different months and days, different arrangements are produced. In other words, different days will display different rows on different page counts, and then the words will be found.
The number of pages, number of rows, and number of positive numbers. These three elements correspond to the month, day, and time. When the Wing King issues his secret code to the East Palace, that is, the Chinese character, the East Palace will compare.
In the same book, then find the word corresponding to the time. When the two words are the same, the inquirer's body will be determined to be correct, and then the latest command from the head of state will be encrypted and sent over.
These encrypted commands made Europeans even more confused, including Kangxi Dictionary, Yongle Dictionary, Siku Quanshu... Select a book in these library and then use the page number table to disassemble the characters.
Such a complex set of encryption technology is completely different from the habits of Europeans, and even the cultural foundation is different, so no one has to worry about leaking secrets.
Pierre just returned from the Isle of Man, and he brought Xiao Lotte's latest instructions. He had already translated the password along the way in the fishing boat.
As soon as he boarded the cargo ship, Pierre said excitedly, "Mr. Shi... The Head of State finally made a decision to act tomorrow! The time is set after the early morning. We must ensure that when Congress votes, we can hear the news of the riot!"
"Really?" Paul took the translated message and read it in one look at the ten lines. "Sir! It's too late to wait, let's act! The head of state's order has been issued..."
The Wing King looked at the telegram and said with some regret, "It's a pity that I couldn't contact the Youth Irish Party! If those people could stand up and act, they would definitely motivate more Irish people... It's a pity!"
"Forget it... It's over, we have tried our best. Maybe those brave young people have been suppressed by the British! That's it..."
"Start up to Dublin immediately, contact those trade unions and peasants' associations, provide them with weapons tonight, and act after midnight, and do as big as possible..."
"Tell those leading officials clearly that once the British army comes to suppress them, we will not ignore them. There will naturally be cargo ships to pick them up on the sea. Then, one person in the United States will give them a new identity..."
"Full sails...left rudder..." Amid the captain's command, the sail with patches was pulled high. Although the Randy was over 200 years old, the performance was really well maintained. With a squeaking sound of the hull, the bow of the ship pierced the waves and sailed towards Dublin.
But before the ship could accelerate for ten minutes, a long and white-showed flying scissor ship suddenly came after the ship, galloping towards them at high speed, and kept chanting flags at them.
"Boss... a boat is catching up from behind, someone wants to board the boat!" the lookout shouted on the mast.
The Wing King, who was about to return to the cabin, was stunned, "Someone wants to board the ship? Is it a customs tax ship? Or a navy patrol ship?"
"None of them... Huh? The other party actually has our secret flag words, and the other party seems to be his own..."
At the top of the mast was Paul trained as his subordinate. When he heard this, his nose was crooked. "Idiot! What does it mean? Is it our own secret flag language? Can't you tell it?"
"Sir, please don't be accustomed to it... The flag language is not wrong, but... but it is not the flag language this year! It is the one we used to use the flag language two years ago, and later abolished because of the upgrade of confidentiality..."
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone present was stunned. The foundation had its own set of secret contact information, especially the communication between ships on the sea. Based on the common flag language, the foundation added some changes. This is the password that only the CIA and the foundation understood.
The person who came from the opposite side could correctly call out the flag-word secret order abolished the previous year, which shows that the person who came was not an outsider, but why did he call the secret words that had been abolished?
The Wing King turned his head and looked at Pierre, "What about your opinion? Are the person coming? Are the enemy or friends? Should we defeat him or meet him?"
Pierre blinked his eyes and told him that he would soon come up with his opinion, "See! Why not! The other party came to the merchant ship, and we also had our password information, which already indicated the identity..."
"We are not unarmed sheep. Just rush to the weapons on our ship. No one can easily eat us... prepare for both hands!"
The Wing King nodded, "Okay! You have a special identity. Get off the cabin first and prepare for arming. Paul and I will be the visiting guest later!"
Pierre led several intelligence officers to trot all the way to the bottom pole. As soon as he entered the bottom pole, he was almost knocked down by a iron-blooded murderous aura. The entire bottom pole was full of mercenaries.
There were the red-haired barbarians from Nordics, the strong tribal warriors from North Africa, the tough Swiss mountain tribal warriors, and more were Prussian veterans.
More than a hundred people were resting quietly in the bottom cabin, and everyone's weapons were placed beside them.
"Transfer from Mr. Shi's order, first-level combat readiness! There are unknown ships approaching us..."
With a bang, more than one hundred mercenaries jumped up without saying a word. They picked up their weapons, pried open the ammunition box that was used as the bed, and all the soldiers began to equip live ammunition.
One by one, one by one, hung heavily around the waist, the magazines of the iron box were opened, and the yellow bullets were distributed in rows.
The bright bayonet and soldiers used various cold weapons to erase sparks on the whetstone. These fully armed gods of killing licked their lips excitedly.
Pierre took out his gun, looked at the huge dog-headed knife in the hand of the North African strong man beside him, and couldn't help but curse, "Abnormal, so pervert!"
At this moment, there was a noise and footsteps on the deck, and the mysterious guest had arrived.
