"So, you thought this matter was difficult to handle, so you sent it to me?"
Jiang Wan looked at the firecrackers on the table and then at Gao Sheng in front of him: "Is it because Chen Yue is from Zhouzhuang?"
Gao Xingsheng had already given Jiang Wan a complete report of what the Military Intelligence Department had learned last night, including Chen Yue's confession, which was now on Jiang Wan's desk.
Counterintelligence has always been the focus of the Military Intelligence Department, and Gaosheng invested more energy in this matter than in internal surveillance.
"Sir, in the eyes of the Military Intelligence Department, you have no origin!"
Gao Sheng said with eyes drooping: "This is what you have personally taught me. Whoever dares to harm our overseas garrison, even the King of Heaven, the Military Intelligence Department must not be timid or bend the law for personal gain!"
"Then what do you mean, do you want to plead for Chen Yue? Do you want to treat this case as an ordinary private sale of arms case, or do you want to handle this case more seriously to deter other people?"
Jiang Wan nodded. He had always admired Gao Sheng's attitude. In comparison, although Xu Xianchun was more flexible, in the Military Intelligence Department, such flexibility was obviously equal to tact.
"Chen Yue collaborated with the enemy and smuggled arms. These two charges are solid and cannot be denied!" Gao Shengsheng said: "The Military Intelligence Department's initial decision to deal with him is to strip him of his military position and confiscate all his previous military merits.
The land and illegal gains will be beheaded in public display!"
"Yeah!" Jiang Wan nodded and did not express any disagreement. He knew that Gao Sheng must have something more to say. If he really dealt with it like this, he would not report the matter at all.
"However, I really want to plead for this person. I feel that he is more useful alive than dead!"
"Say!" Jiang Wan said calmly.
"The Tartars sent people to try their best to break into our Zhenjiang Fort and spend a lot of money to buy our latest firecrackers. I think their purpose is definitely not to use these firecrackers to display them at home, or they are looking for a craftsman.
Either they want to imitate our firecrackers, or they plan to use this as an opportunity to bribe our officers and instigate them to rebel, so that they can play a huge role in the future when the two armies fight!"
"Then do you understand what they want to do?"
"It's not clear yet, but with Chen Yue alive, this issue will be clarified soon!" Gao Sheng said: "No matter what the Tatars plan to do, we have already grasped this line, so we cannot let him break it easily.
, Next, I plan to arrange for a few officers from the Military Intelligence Department to join the army, and then, under Chen Yue’s introduction, they will be bribed by the other party “actively”! "
"Sounds good!" Jiang Wan nodded: "How is Chen Yue? Is he willing to cooperate?"
"He wants to live!" Gao Xingsheng said, "However, in the hands of our Military Intelligence Department, he can no longer decide whether to live or die!"
"Okay!" Jiang Wan thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Do as you say, I don't ask you how to do it, I just want the result!"
"And..." Gao Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said: "Because of this matter, the Military Intelligence Department may have to question a group of officers recently. They are all officers who have had contact with Chen Yue. I want to report it to your lord first.
Get ready!"
"Don't be timid when doing things!" Jiang Wan waved his hand: "As I said again, don't ask about the other party's origin or official position. Ask what should be asked and investigate what should be investigated. Our Overseas Pressure and Control Department,
It's like a big tree. There are no dead branches on this tree. You are my ax. Find these branches and cut them off. Only then can our big tree grow better and bigger.
!”
She was so happy that she retreated. Jiang Wan shook her head slightly and fell into deep thought.
Did the Tartars turn their attention to their own side so quickly? After being sorted out layer by layer by the Military Intelligence Department, it was not easy for the spies of Zhenjiang Fort to even get a foothold, and now they actually came up with such a big case.
, it can also be seen that the Tartars are really anxious.
Imitate firearms from Zhenjiang Fort?
Jiang Wan shook his head. This was absolutely impossible. Not to mention anything else, the Tartars were nothing but scum in terms of iron ore and smelting technology. What they used to imitate Zhenjiang Fort's firearms was based on a few people recruited from everywhere.
A three-legged cat craftsman?
From Huang Taiji's perspective, he would definitely not make such a mistake.
Secretly purchased firearms from Zhenjiang Fort?
It seems impossible. I am not a fool here. It makes sense to say that the Tartars tried their best to get a few or dozens of firearms for the Overseas Suppression and Fusi. Nowadays, the Overseas Suppression and Fusi family has a great cause and has soldiers and horses.
There are so many that omissions may occur anywhere.
However, it would be a bit foolish to say that they purchased thousands of firearms from the Overseas Zhenfu Division. Tieshan City's firearms production has always been operating at full capacity. Due to the productivity and industrialization foundation of this era,
At an almost non-existent level, even if all the troops and horses of the Overseas Defense Department were weaponized, it would not take a year or two.
If you also purchase thousands of firearms, then the entire Tieshan City might as well be produced for the Tartars.
Even with Jiang Wan's boldness, he only dared to propose the popularization of firearms in the army last year, with the equipment rate reaching 30% for ordinary armies and 50% for the main army. This was already a very bold idea.
Even with the troops of the Overseas Suppression and Control Division armed with this standard, Jiang Wan dared to directly tear up the false agreement with Huang Taiji, and of course started a war with the opponent on the spot.
If all of them are popularized, and there are 100,000 firepower soldiers in the Overseas Suppression Division, then he can push wherever he wants, and there is no need to continue to stay here?
Therefore, both of Gao Sheng’s inferences are probably impossible!
Then, after all possibilities are eliminated, the remaining possibility, even if it seems impossible, is the only possibility.
Is it possible for an army with cold weapons, mainly cavalry, to fight against an army with hot weapons armed with firearms?
In Jiang Wan's concept, this is almost impossible, but obviously, in Huang Taiji's eyes, he thinks that Chen Yue's case is probably that he is looking for his own army and overseas suppressors.
How to win a battle between armies.
To defeat the opponent, of course you must first understand the opponent, especially starting from understanding the opponent's weapons!
During lunch, Jiang Wan talked about this matter with his family. One reason was because Chen Yue was also the person brought out by Li Fuyao. The other reason was that he wanted to see the inference about the Tartars' intentions.
What your family members think.
After all, these girls are both his closest people and his most capable helpers. Perhaps he can gain some insights from them that he cannot get from his own perspective.
