A Faked Victory

I transmigrated to 1943 and became the most useless apprentice in the Juntong intelligence agency’s communications department.

Every day, I got chewed out and took the blame for others, until the day I heard an encrypted Japanese broadcast.

To my colleagues, it was gibberish. To me… well, cracking mechanical ciphers from the Showa era was like solving elementary-school math puzzles.

When “Operation No. 5” became a scrap of paper on a desk in Chongqing, Japan’s Special Higher Police went mad: “Who on earth is hiding in Chongqing?!”

They’ll never know that the “ghost codebreaker” they’ve put a bounty of one hundred thousand silver dollars on is crouched in an air-raid shelter, writing fake intelligence to the sound of bombs.

And they’ll never know that every “victory” they win from now on comes from a script I wrote myself.

This is a war without gunfire.

My weapon is numbers; my battlefield is the airwaves.

And my mission is to forge a victory for the enemy, one that is doomed to fail.
