The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

In order to protect the warship and their own safety, they had to hand over the precious contact information.

Captain Tanaka reluctantly picked up a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down a string of seemingly chaotic characters. These characters consisted of common letters and special symbols, and for outsiders, there was no clue at all. Wang Bo and others gathered around and stared at the code for a long time, but they were still confused and could not understand its meaning at all.

Even if this string of code was written casually by Captain Tanaka, or was just the result of him typing randomly on the keyboard, they couldn't tell.

They tried hard in their minds, using the most basic encryption methods to calculate, trying to convert those complex codes into simple and clear passwords. However, whether it was the Caesar cipher or the fence cipher, they reasoned back and forth but could not come to any useful conclusions.

Xu and Tao were also confused. They stared at the code, frowning, and thought for a long time, but still had no clue. After all, they were not professional code researchers. For such a high-level code, it was undoubtedly a fantasy to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

Wang Bo scratched his head and gave up reasoning. He looked at Captain Tanaka with suspicion, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?" He asked hastily, "What the hell is this? Are you kidding us on purpose? This looks like a random string of words..."

"Is this really the password? How can we convert it to understand its meaning?" Wang Bo continued to ask, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "Don't waste any more time. It's so tiring to talk to you! Can't you just give us the final password at once? You have to make us waste our breath..."

Wang Bo was very troubled by dealing with people like Captain Tanaka. He always felt that the other party was extremely cunning and he could fall into the other party's trap if he was not careful. Therefore, he had to be vigilant at all times to avoid being tricked by the other party.

Vice Captain Nakamura snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, as if he was mocking Wang Bo's ignorance. He explained: "This is the final code, which was developed by our Japanese cryptography experts and many top information technology personnel. Although it looks like garbled code, each character carries a unique meaning."

"And its power goes far beyond this." Vice Captain Nakamura continued, "This code is not static, but changes every once in a while. Those characters that appear to be randomly generated are actually unique pathways that are derived through precise calculations by several programs."

He further explained that every time they went on a mission, the Dongshan Army Squad would receive the latest set of codes. However, not everyone had the authority to know the latest codes. As the top squad in Neon Country, the Dongshan Army Squad was naturally treated differently. If it were an ordinary army, it would be almost impossible to contact the headquarters directly in this situation.

Of course, there are ways around this. They can report information indirectly and unilaterally, and then have it screened and estimated by higher authorities. But by the time the headquarters’ orders arrive, a considerable amount of time may have passed.

The Dongshan Army team was the elite among the elite, especially Captain Tanaka, who was one of Hirata Jiro's confidants. If Xu Lao and others were willing to let him operate, he was confident that he could successfully contact the Neon Country headquarters on the unfamiliar equipment within half an hour.

However, this was obviously impossible. Xu Lao and others would rather spend more time than risk having Captain Tanaka contact the headquarters. They felt that this was too risky, after all, they were not in a hurry.

Even though Captain Tanaka made solemn promises and said all the good things, Xu Lao and the others were not moved at all. They had planned from the beginning to skip Captain Tanaka and contact Neon Country Headquarters directly.

"What does this mean? Please explain it to us. We don't know much about this." Zhang Guo asked naturally. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. He was not afraid to expose the fact that he didn't know the code, because in his opinion, the other party couldn't turn the tables under such restrictions.

Although Zhang Guo's tone was calm and natural, it sounded strange to Captain Tanaka, who thought it was a naked threat. Captain Tanaka's previous confidence and arrogance had long since disappeared. After being frustrated in front of Xu Lao and others, he became panicked and sensitive. Even if the other party said something ordinary, he would think about it several times, fearing that he would fall into the other party's trap.

He knew that his life was in the hands of the other party. Although he could still sit in his seat and negotiate, the soldiers guarding nearby would instantly draw their guns and aim at him at the slightest sign of trouble. To be more precise, he was not negotiating, but being "negotiated." It was completely unilateral demands from Mr. Xu and others, and his resistance, refusal, and silence would not have any effect.

They were not in a position to fight with Xu Lao and the others. They could only be forced to act against their will. So, Captain Tanaka reluctantly explained again: "This is the final code. It is normal that you cannot decipher it. Because this is not a direct communication address or information that can be converted into numbers. It is more like a key."

"You can't contact the headquarters directly with unfamiliar equipment." He continued, "In order to ensure that the people using the communication are soldiers from the country, the experts have set up layers of encryption. And this is the key to the last step."

"That's why I suggested that we do it." Captain Tanaka couldn't help but complain, "We don't know how long it will take for you to crack the last step. If we had that much time, we might have been swallowed up by this bad weather!"

He really couldn't understand why Xu Lao and the others were so stubborn. Were they really not afraid of death? It would be fine if they were not afraid of death, but the Dongshan Army team didn't want to be buried with them!
Faced with this severe weather, the well-equipped Kyushu army might still have a chance to resist, but the Dongshan Army squad had to worry about it.

Just borrowing the communicator for a few minutes would cost a huge amount of money. If they really rescued him, I don't know what greater price I would have to pay! Captain Tanaka knew in his heart that it was futile to talk about peace and humanitarian spirit with Xu Lao and others.

The relationship between Neon Japan and Kyushu is based solely on interests.

Both sides knew that no matter which side encountered difficulties, it would be difficult to get help from the other side without the motivation of interests. What's more, there is a layer of competition between them! This messy code is the final key, so what about the previous key? Wouldn't it be better to take it out directly? Wang Bo couldn't stand this dithering attitude and said directly: "Then just tell us the previous password! Isn't this a simple thing? You don't think that just giving one will be enough!"

This kind of operation also happens under normal circumstances. In order to cover up the real IP address, layers of firewalls are set up for protection. It is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and people can't figure out which one is real. It is possible that after trying all kinds of ways to crack it, you will find that the things behind the firewall are fake, just deliberately made to be very real to confuse people.

Captain Tanaka did not lie. If Mr. Xu, Mr. Tao and others started to crack the system from the first layer, it would take a lot of time. This process cannot be accelerated, and there is no normal way to crack it quickly. They can only use the elimination method to try and fail again and again.

In the past war era, it could take several months to crack a code, which was considered a relatively fast speed. What's more, there was no significant progress after one or two years of research. There are thousands of permutations and combinations of passwords, and the addition of changes to each character can produce hundreds of millions of results.

Therefore, for the party trying to crack the code, the less information they have, the longer the process will be. Captain Tanaka smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said, "It would be great if it were that simple. The problem is that only the last code is certain. Each of the previous firewalls does not have a specific key, and it is almost always changing. How can I give it to you?"

"Only the operator can crack it according to the specific situation." He emphasized again, "That's why I repeatedly emphasized that we should do the operation."

Wang Bo subconsciously felt that Captain Tanaka was lying. He felt that he was deliberately saying this because he wanted to operate the communication system himself. He kept saying this, which made him doubt his motives. Of course, he was probably not lying completely. He was probably saying something that was half true and half false. This kind of mixed words really made it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

"Impossible!" Wang Bo said suspiciously, "This is just your one-sided statement. According to what you said, this method is not simple. Is it possible that only a few people in Japan can do it?" His face was full of disbelief. Not only him, Zhang Guo, Huang Jie and others were also obviously skeptical about this statement.

Intuitively, Captain Tanaka's words sounded like he was just looking for reasons and excuses to justify his personal operation. How could such a cunning person honestly explain things related to the code? Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, Captain Tanaka's lies sounded more credible.

Deputy Captain Nakamura felt helpless and angry when listening to Captain Tanaka's explanation. He was clearly telling the truth, but he was questioned by the other party. He didn't understand what the people from Kyushu wanted to do? They didn't believe him when he told the truth, and they couldn't crack it in a short time, and they didn't want to let them do it...

"What exactly do you want?" Vice Captain Nakamura couldn't help but shout, "You're the ones who have been asking questions. I've said everything I can and even things I can't say. And yet you still don't believe it!"

"Do you have to say what you believe?" he said angrily. "Does it matter even if it means lying? What's going on these days? No one believes the truth, but lies are believed."

"Alright!" he finally said helplessly, "You guys can do whatever you want! Just tell us what you want to hear! We'll make it up for you on the spot, okay?"

Vice Captain Nakamura's anger seemed quite real, and his indignant expression was completely different from the fake anger he had shown in the previous performance. His entire face was flushed due to his excitement, and even the tip of his nose, the auricles of his ears, and the exposed skin on his neck were flushed. This physiological reaction made it difficult to doubt his sincerity.

However, Wang Bo and others still have doubts in their hearts due to past experience and lessons. After all, Captain Tanaka's previous behavior, including the sudden attack, showed that he was not a good person. Now that he seems to have compromised due to the situation, it is likely a delaying tactic, and he may be thinking about how to "turn defeat into victory" in his heart.

Although the probability of the opponent's comeback is not high, Wang Bo and his team dare not relax at all. After all, the Dongshan Army Squad is by no means an ordinary team. It is an elite force second only to the US Rangers Squad and the Red Devil Squad of the United States. Its strength should not be underestimated.

They would rather be cautious and have more suspicion than lose everything due to a momentary negligence. After all, if they were defeated by such a team, the loss would be too great.

Although Vice Captain Nakamura's performance seemed sincere, in this line of work, Wang Bo and others had seen too many masters who could lie without changing their expressions. Some people could even show their true feelings and cry bitterly, but they were all just acting.

The training of elite soldiers is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. They need to learn almost everything. Whether it is theoretical knowledge or practical operation, including psychology, performance, cryptography, etc., they are required courses. As the old saying of Kyushu says: "Knowing astronomy, geography, and being able to do both literature and martial arts", it is probably a vivid description of this kind of people.

Therefore, Wang Bo and others did not think there was anything wrong with the doubts raised by Captain Tanaka and others. After all, in this world full of deception and lies, any statement may be questioned, which will undoubtedly bring emotional blows to Captain Tanaka and others.

However, Wang Bo and others did not care about this. Why should they care about the mood of the Neon Country Dongshan Army? Isn't this extremely boring and asking for trouble?

Captain Tanaka felt helpless about this. He knew what Wang Bo and the others were thinking, but he also felt aggrieved. He had originally expected to be rescued, but ended up attracting a "devil"-like existence. Not to mention help, even basic freedoms were restricted now, and Xu Cheng and the others were watching them like thieves.

For the Dongshan Army, the Kyushu Army was more terrifying than the bad weather. Bad weather was only a physical challenge, but the Kyushu Army's influence was all-encompassing and difficult to get rid of. (End of this chapter)
