Tang Cheng asked Zhou Hongzhuang to keep an eye on Zhang Jianghe. The latter naturally knew what Tang Cheng was worried about, so he uncharacteristically just hummed and stayed at home. Tang Cheng went out early in the morning and first went to Joseph's leather goods store.
"I will soon leave Nanjing and go south to Chongqing. What are you and Hans going to do with that little Jewish girl? Is it possible that Yao and I will really take her to Chongqing together? If so, you may not be able to do it for a long time.
Meet."
Tang Cheng would come to Joseph's place from time to time, so Joseph was not surprised by Tang Cheng's arrival early in the morning. However, when he heard that Tang Cheng said that he was leaving Nanjing, Joseph still couldn't help but have a trace of surprise on his face.
Come. "Are you really going to Chongqing?" Joseph looked at Tang Cheng's face without blinking. When he first heard that Tang Cheng said he was leaving Nanjing, Joseph thought Tang Cheng was joking with him. Now he looked at Tang Cheng.
Cheng's expression didn't seem like he was faking it.
Tang Cheng took out a cigarette, lit one and started to smoke. He blew the cigarette in his mouth towards Joseph who was looking at him. Tang Cheng said calmly. "I annoy you guys who think you are smart the most. I have long ago
I told you that I am leaving Nanjing for Chongqing. But look at you, I guess you always thought I was testing you or joking? Don’t you think you can’t be more sincere? Or am I older?
Do you look like a liar?"
Tang Cheng's words made Joseph feel embarrassed, but the expression of shame on Joseph's face only flickered, and Joseph's expression instantly returned to the previous state. "Will the Intelligence Department let you go? Don't they?
Do you know your ability in counter-espionage? If I were the head of the Intelligence Department, I would never let you leave Nanjing!" Joseph's words sounded like he was trying to defend Tang Cheng, but in reality he was testing Tang Cheng. When he arrived
Now I still don’t believe that Tangcheng is really leaving Nanjing.
"Bullshit abilities!" Tang Cheng heard this and immediately looked sideways at Joseph, "Don't give me a high hat. There are many talents in the Intelligence Department, and there are a lot of them like me. Besides, my father has already lost his job for the Intelligence Department.
I am the only child of my family. The Intelligence Agency cannot forcefully recruit me. From now on, let’s call me the root of the Tang family!” Tang Cheng’s words suddenly reminded Joseph that the young man in front of him had become a descendant of martyrs last year. The Intelligence Agency
Tang Cheng must not be forcibly recruited to join them.
"Then why did you go to Chongqing? You still have family to take care of!" Although Joseph knew that Tang Cheng looked young, he was a little fox who was used to taking one step at a time and watching three steps at a time. But he still asked,
If Alice is given to Tang Cheng for temporary care, Joseph must know what Tang Cheng does for a living after going to Chongqing. At the same time, he also suspects that Tang Cheng mentioned Alice just now to take the opportunity to extort money and goods from him.
There is a saying that the eyes follow the heart. Joseph's eyes at this moment made Tang Cheng frown and said, "Lao Yue, you can do it! Don't look at me with that strange look!" Waiting for Joseph to lean back, he pretended to smoke to hide himself.
After thinking about it, Tang Cheng continued. "After I go to Chongqing, I will naturally continue to do my old job! If I do some small business with the salary of the sergeant, I should be able to support my family and myself. That person in Chongqing
Prices here should be much lower than here in Nanjing.”
After Joseph's expression calmed down and he raised his eyes to look at himself again, Tang Cheng finally revealed that Zhang Jiang and Kazuya were transferred to Chongqing. "This time it's not just me who was transferred to Chongqing, my uncle is the Zhang Jiang you met last time.
Captain He will also be transferred to Chongqing this time to serve as the deputy director of the Chongqing branch. You said, I already have such a backer, is it still a problem to support my family? "
Joseph's expression had hardened. It was only now that he finally understood that Daqing Tangcheng came to him early in the morning, not to blackmail Qiu Feng, but to show off to him! Joseph naturally knew that Zhang Jiang and
He also met Zhang Jianghe once, and he knew the relationship between Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe. If Zhang Jianghe was transferred to Chongqing together and served as the deputy chief of the Chongqing Station of the Intelligence Department, wouldn't Tang Cheng
I can walk sideways in Chongqing!
Tang Cheng, who was smoking, seemed to appreciate Joseph's dull look at this moment. After Joseph finally came to his senses, Tang Cheng continued. "I came to you early in the morning just to ask you a question.
, Do you want to go to Chongqing with us? I have thought about it carefully. It is best for you to take care of that little Jewish girl by yourself. It will be a lot of inconvenience for you to leave her here with me. I believe there is a way out of this.
You yourselves should also understand."
"I was transferred to Chongqing to continue to be the police chief, and my uncle was also promoted to be the deputy station chief there. With our status as our support, you can go to Chongqing with us to do business. You may not be rich and powerful, but you can support yourself
And that little Jewish girl should be more than enough. Hans naturally has no choice in a place like Shanghai. Can't a small character like you make a choice for yourself?"
Tang Cheng described Joseph as a minor player, which sounded unkind, but Joseph did not refute it, because Tang Cheng was not wrong. In fact, Joseph came to China earlier than Hans, and the German intelligence service thought that Nanjing was
Although the embassy is located in Nanjing, the capital of China, it is better to have an external intelligence system in private. Under this premise, Joseph was sent to Nanjing and used his identity as a businessman as a cover to lurk.
But after a while, the German intelligence agency suddenly discovered that the intelligence market in Shanghai seemed to be more active, so Hans was sent to China and based in Shanghai. Joseph, who was not valued, gradually fell into the trap of no one. As early as two years ago,
Years ago, the German intelligence agency stopped allocating activity funds to Joseph, and the two original assistants were also transferred to Shanghai to assist Hans. If Joseph had not been struggling to support himself with the funds obtained from leather goods stores and intelligence transactions, he would have
He might have been transferred back to Germany a long time ago.
"Tang, do you have to base your happiness on my pain?" Joseph responded with a sentence that Tang Cheng often said here, but he did not refute what Tang Cheng just said because he knew that Tang Cheng did not
What was wrong? Joseph's words, coupled with his resentful expression at the moment, finally made Tang Cheng unable to hold back and grinned.
"Old Yue, I really regard you as a friend, that's why I gave you the idea just now. You were present and you should have heard what I told Hans last time. Hans also had a few words when he returned to Shanghai.
Damn it, I believe there must be a connection between you. Hans should also investigate and find out some clues about what is going on with the Japanese. Do you think that once the Japanese take action, will Nanjing, the capital of the country, still be safe?" Tangcheng gradually said
He lowered his voice and his expression became slightly distorted.
Tang Cheng knew that the war would definitely break out, and he also knew that Nanjing would fall sooner or later, because with the current combat effectiveness and weapon configuration of the national army, they would never be able to defend Nanjing. Moreover, before they could garrison Nanjing, they had to go through three months of Shanghai.
The war. But Tang Cheng couldn't tell more people about this, because even if he told it, no one would believe it. Instead, Tang Cheng would be slapped with big names. By then, not only would Tang Cheng be in trouble, but also Tang Cheng would be in trouble.
Even family members will be implicated.
This kind of ambivalent mentality has troubled Tangcheng for a long time. Especially after learning yesterday that Zhang Jianghe had been transferred south to Chongqing, Tangcheng could not sleep a wink all night. After thinking about it all night, Tangcheng could not
He found a solution and came to Joseph early in the morning because he wanted to avoid Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jianghe. He knew that many people would die in Nanjing but had no way to solve it. This contradictory mentality made Tangcheng
Some were shameless when facing Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jianghe.
Tang Cheng didn't know whether Joseph could get the latest trends of the Japanese from Hans, but what he said just now was not to fool Joseph. He really wanted Joseph to live in Chongqing with him. Chongqing will undergo big changes in the future.
Zhang Jiang and the deputy station director may not always be prosperous, so Tangcheng still needs to take precautions and find another backer for himself and his family in advance. Although Joseph has almost become an outcast, he is still a member of the German intelligence agency after all.
Man, Tangcheng thinks this is a good backer.
Joseph did not give an answer on the spot. Tang Cheng was slightly disappointed, but he did not show it on his face. "Old Yue, I have to go to other places to meet some people today, so I can't stay here for a long time. I'll give it to you.
You have one day to think about it, and I will be by the phone before dark, hoping that you can make the right choice." Tangcheng gave Joseph the opportunity and time to choose, then got up and left the leather goods store.
Watching Tang Cheng leave, Joseph felt very heavy in his heart. Selfishness is human nature, and Joseph was no exception. What Tang Cheng said just now made Joseph, who had been muddle along, begin to examine himself, and he vaguely felt that Tang Cheng must have known about it.
What. Now thinking back to Tang Cheng's expression when he mentioned that Nanjing would be in danger, Joseph's expression became more and more serious, and he finally began to take Tang Cheng's suggestion seriously.
Tang Cheng, who was slightly disappointed, left the leather goods store and did not go home. Instead, he found a place to make a phone call and then drove straight to the bank. Half an hour later, when Tang Cheng walked out of the bank, he already had an extra one in his hand.
The black leather suitcase contained two pistols and some bullets, as well as some U.S. dollars and oceans. It was the third day after Tang Cheng returned to Nanjing from Shanghai that he came to this bank to store them in a safe.
Tang Cheng originally prepared these things just to prepare for a rainy day, but now that he has received the transfer order to Chongqing, these arrangements in advance are of no use. Tang Cheng came to this bank to take out the suitcase, intending to hand it over to Xu Huanshan
, even if it is a gift to Xu Huanshan before I leave Nanjing. (To be continued)
