Chapter 1712 Special Recruitment

Tan Juren shook his head when he heard this and said: "You can buy this thing if you want. Last year, the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense went back and forth to discuss the matter of opening up military purchases. I don't know how long it was. If this money was not needed to fill this year's expedition to the West,

How can we sell the warships made in our country to them if we don’t have enough military expenditures! Moreover, we have made it very clear to the people of Madalan at that time that after these ships are sold out, they will not receive any more orders in the short term, even if they have money and are willing to do so.

Even if you pay a high price, you still can’t buy it.”

Some of the information Tan Juren said has already touched upon conflicts of interest among the upper echelons. Cheng Dapeng, a small intelligence officer, did not dare to accept this statement at will, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

In order to supplement fiscal revenue at that time, Haihan opened an arms purchase opportunity to the Dutch East India Company and the Materan State, allowing them to bid for Haihan's packaged weapons and equipment orders. Both companies were hoping to eliminate each other.

After that, he quickly participated in the bidding, and the sky-high price orders that followed made Haihan make a lot of money. Although these two companies are quite rich, they were really squeezed out this time.

The money for the military purchase can only be repaid in installments, and it has not been paid in full yet.

In order to keep the strength of the two companies from widening due to this arms purchase, Haihan has also taken great pains in terms of arms purchase items, prices, delivery times and additional conditions, including the interval between the next arms purchase order.

, lest one party use its wealth to overwhelm the other party through arms purchase. It has only been half a year since the last arms purchase. The warships purchased by the East India Company last time have just begun to be delivered one after another, and the Malayan people want to move again.

Be careful, the executive committee will definitely not accept such a small trick. Even if they go to Sanya, they will probably only come back in disgrace.

Tan Juren suddenly came to his senses and asked Cheng Dapeng: "Then if the Madalan people fail to achieve their goals in our country, will they look for other ways to purchase arms?"

Cheng Dapeng nodded and said: "This is exactly the situation that I am worried about. The country of Matalan borders the Dutch-controlled area, and coupled with the war a few years ago, the conflict is irreconcilable, and sooner or later there will be a war. But the country of Matalan is irreconcilable.

There is still a long way between the Taran Kingdom and the Spanish-controlled area. Although there have been some small-scale armed conflicts in the past, they were all minor fights and there was no irresolvable hatred. This time, although the Taran Kingdom

People suffered some losses in front of Spanish galleons, but maybe it will make them interested in Spanish warships."

It is perfectly normal for rich people like Ma Dalan to just use money to buy weapons and equipment that they cannot make themselves. If Haihan is unwilling to provide such goods, then they are likely to

They would settle for the next best thing and seek help elsewhere. Although the Spanish lost miserably in the Battle of Manila, it did not mean that they were weak. When facing a relatively backward civilization like Matalan, the Spanish

The strong ships and cannons of the Chinese are still powerful weapons that the opponent cannot resist - even when used to fight the Dutch, they will not be at a disadvantage at all.

But if the two countries of Spain and Matalan get mixed up, it will not be good news for Haihan. It is reasonable for Cheng Dapeng to express concern about this trend. He wants to monitor the relationship between the two countries.

If there are some secret exchanges between the two, Cheng Dapeng must first find some suitable candidates. If he knows Spanish and understands the Spanish people's habitual thinking, he will undoubtedly have a great advantage. This is what he

The main purpose of making a special trip to Star Island.

Tan Juren also felt that Cheng Dapeng's words were reasonable, but he could not directly dictate the affairs of the Ministry of Security. Intelligence work was a very sensitive field. It would not be a big deal to listen to Cheng Dapeng's work report, but if

Once you get involved, the nature changes.

So after listening to Dapeng's words, Tan Juren simply nodded and said: "Since it is the intention of your security department, Xingdao will definitely try its best to cooperate. I have already had the files of relevant personnel prepared, and they will be sent later.

I can pass it on to you. If you want to meet these people, you can make arrangements as soon as possible."

Cheng Dapeng quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Chief, for the arrangement! I won't delay the Chief's work because of my humble position, so I will go to the hard labor camp to select people."

A total of more than a thousand prisoners were imprisoned in the two hard labor camps on Xingdao, including more than a hundred Chinese prisoners sent from Manila. From them, those who could listen and speak Spanish were selected, and the relevant files were compiled and handed over to Cheng Dapeng

Choose.

Cheng Dapeng has his own set of criteria for selecting people. Almost all of these people have served the Spanish in the past, and many of them have even served in the army, so it is of little significance to investigate their past experiences. Cheng Dapeng values ​​​​the most.

, is personal ability and family background. Even if there are no particularly outstanding figures among these Han prisoners, he will still try to find something noteworthy about them.

In the files of these people, Cheng Dapeng quickly noticed the special existence of Qin Huacheng. Among the Han prisoners detained here, someone like Qin Huacheng who had served as a servant under both the Spaniards and Haihan was really unusual.

See more. Moreover, after Qin Huacheng arrived at Xingdao, he immediately made a great contribution and assisted the prison authorities in uncovering the riot planned by the Spanish prisoners.

Qin Huacheng's personal qualifications are mediocre from the archives, his education level is average, and he has no extraordinary abilities. However, his strange and tortuous experiences in recent years are beyond the reach of ordinary people, even the well-informed Cheng Dapeng

, I have never seen such a bizarre encounter like his. Moreover, Qin Huacheng's family is still living in Manila, and his brother Qin Huaming is still working in the official organization of Haihan. This is a plus point in Cheng Dapeng's opinion. If

If Qin Huacheng is recruited, he should take into account the situation of his family and have more motivation to be loyal to Haihan.

Before he finished browsing everyone's files, Cheng Dapeng pulled out Qin Huacheng's files and put them aside as a priority. After reading the files in this way, Cheng Dapeng only selected five or six people.

, after the interviews, this number will probably be further reduced.

However, Cheng Dapeng was not in a hurry to summon these people. Instead, he first asked the prison officials sent by Tan Juren to assist him to understand the situation of these people. When he heard that the prison authorities had now arranged for Qin Huacheng to provide Spanish language training to the guards,

He paid more attention to this person.

Qin Huacheng didn't know that his fortune had turned around. It was still the same day as usual. After breakfast, he sat and waited for the prisoners in the camp to go to work, and then wandered to a room prepared for him by the warden Qin Bodu.

Several guards who stayed at the camp taught Spanish.

In fact, Qin Huacheng has never studied Spanish systematically, so the Spanish he masters is almost all slang and daily spoken English. He can speak but not write well, and there are no specific arrangements for the courses. He gives lectures to these guards, basically

It's a relatively casual teaching method. It seems that the prison authorities have acquiesced to his method and did not put forward higher requirements. After all, Qin Huacheng's teaching did not receive extra remuneration, just Qin Huacheng's teaching method.

It was just a dawdling job assigned to him by Bodu.

So when someone came to Qin Huacheng and asked him to stop teaching to meet a special visitor, Qin Huacheng never thought that his fate would turn around in the next time.

"My surname is Cheng. If you are successful, you can call me shopkeeper Cheng." After Cheng Dapeng saw Qin Huacheng, he briefly introduced himself and then decisively cut to the point: "Qin Huacheng, if you can be released immediately after serving your sentence

,Then what are you going to do next?”

Qin Huacheng blurted out: "Of course I will return to Manila to reunite with my family."

Cheng Dapeng said: "Then do you have any plans to continue serving the country?"

When Qin Huacheng heard this, he thought that this shopkeeper Cheng was probably not a businessman, but a Haihan official who used his identity as a businessman to cover up. Otherwise, how could he ask such a strange question to him? But he didn't know this person

What is the purpose of his visit? Is it directly related to the case he participated in solving before? But he can vaguely feel that this is a rare opportunity, an opportunity to get out of this hellish place. If he misses this time

, who knows that the approval from the Haihan Ministry of Justice will not be issued to this remote overseas border until the Year of the Monkey.

"The villain has been loyal to Haihan wholeheartedly, but he was seduced by a traitor and made mistakes before, so he was sent here. After the villain arrived here, he decided to change his past. How did he perform? Shopkeeper Cheng only needs to inquire a little bit.

You know." Qin Huacheng swallowed his saliva and said, "If you have the opportunity to continue serving the country, I will do my best!"

Qin Huacheng said this partly sincerely and partly to get out of trouble. Cheng Dapeng naturally had a strong point in his heart and would not fully believe what he said. He raised this question to Qin Huacheng. On the one hand, he wanted to see

How this guy reacts, on the other hand, is also used to elicit the next words.

"Since you are determined to continue serving the country, there is an opportunity now. But you need to say ugly things first. The things assigned to you are risky and may even cost your life. Are you willing to participate?" Chengdu University

Peng continued to ask.

After hearing this, Qin Huacheng suddenly complained in his heart. Although his current situation is not good, at least he is not in danger of his life for the time being. But if he has to take on the next extremely risky job in order to leave here, why bother himself.

Anyway, if you only have to wait a few months for the Ministry of Justice's approval, even if your sentence is not completely reduced, you probably won't have a few days left. It's better to just sit back and finish your sentence here, and then whether you go back to Manila or

If you have other plans, you are free to choose.

As if he had understood what he was thinking, Cheng Dapeng said slowly: "I have already inquired about the case you handled before, and the result will probably not be available soon."

Qin Huacheng said in astonishment: "Why is this? Hasn't everyone been arrested, interrogated and sent away?"

"This case needs to be reported to the Ministry of Justice. I don't know what year or month it will be until the Ministry of Justice handles it. Maybe the Spaniards sent to mine are all dead, and you are still locked up here." Cheng Dapeng was sarcastic.

He said eloquently. He did have a general understanding of the case before, but as for the handling of the case after it was reported, he just casually deceived Qin Huacheng. Anyway, the information held by both parties was completely unequal, and Qin Huacheng had no way to verify what he said.

True or false.

After hearing this, Qin Huacheng felt a little panicked. Although he had calculated that he would only serve three years in prison at most, but if he really stayed in this hard labor camp for three years, who knows what else would happen during such a long time.

.If he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to stay here any longer.

Cheng Dapeng saw the change in his expression and knew that what he said had an effect, so he continued to persuade: "Although the errand I prepared for you is risky, it is not as big as you think. If you can do it right

Well, from now on you can be promoted and make a fortune, which is much more promising than when you were a security policeman in Manila."

Qin Huacheng said: "If that little guy accepts this job, can he go back to Manila to see his family?"

Cheng Dapeng shook his head and said: "This job is a national secret. After you accept it, you will not be able to see your family again until the job is completed. To be honest, this job may require you to change your identity. But how much do you have to do?

Excellent, I will definitely have the opportunity to return home in the future. When the time comes, wouldn’t it be wonderful to return to my hometown in fine clothes?”

Qin Huacheng heard what he said beautifully, but he didn't believe it in his heart. He felt that the other person repeatedly used words to lure him, which must mean that there was a lot of risk in this job. But he couldn't withstand the temptation of regaining his freedom, so he was very hesitant at the moment.

Do you want to take this risk?

Cheng Dapeng saw that he was hesitant, so he took retreat as an opportunity to advance: "Well, let's give you one day to think about it. I will leave Xingdao tomorrow. Before that, you have to make a decision. Also, this job is not about leaving.

If you don't succeed, you might as well think about why I want to recruit you first."

Qin Huacheng was not stupid. Hearing this, he responded: "Shopkeeper Cheng looks up to villains, naturally because the things he wants to do are related to the Spaniards."

"As long as you understand. There are still many Chinese prisoners in this hard labor camp who have dealt with the Spaniards. I think we will always find people who are willing to serve the country." Cheng Dapeng waved his hand and said: "You can go out first.

, if you think about it clearly and are willing to do it, then ask the guard to bring you to me."

This time Qin Huacheng refused to leave: "Shopkeeper Cheng, I have thought clearly, I will take over this job!"

Qin Huacheng knew that what Cheng Dapeng said was true. He was not the only Han Chinese who could speak Spanish in this hard labor camp. If this job was robbed by others, he would not even have to take the regret medicine. It is better to take a chance. Anyway, the situation

No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than staying in a hard labor camp. If God really wants to take his life, it will be the same wherever he stays. As for the errand that the other party has been avoiding talking about, Qin Huacheng has actually vaguely guessed how much it is.
