According to the agreed time, Tang Cheng rushed to the tea house to meet with Boss Yu. However, before entering the tea house, Tang Cheng repeatedly searched the area around the tea house and confirmed that there were no suspicious people around the tea house. Only then did he enter.
Tea House. Boss Yu has been waiting for Tang Cheng for a long time. Seeing that the agreed time is about to pass, although there is nothing unusual about Boss Yu’s face, he is actually secretly nervous. He is worried that Tang Cheng may have already
Something went wrong.
Tang Cheng walked into the tea house deliberately. The relaxed look in Boss Yu's eyes behind the counter was caught by Tang Cheng. From this, Tang Cheng, who judged that there was nothing wrong with Boss Yu, immediately relaxed.
, directly followed Boss Yu's instructions and went to the warehouse behind the tea house. "I thought you wouldn't come!" After closing the warehouse door, Boss Yu gestured to Tangcheng to look at his watch.
"I went to see that clinic, and there was a little accident, so I was delayed for a while." Tang Cheng answered the question, but it immediately attracted Boss Yu's attention. Tang Cheng, who took the initiative to mention the clinic, had no intention of hiding it from the other party.
Then he told Boss Yu everything he saw and thought. "You are only responsible for me now. Regarding the clinic's affairs, you'd better convey it to Shanghai Station through other channels. I don't want you to be implicated in anything happening here."
Come to me."
Tang Cheng's words sounded extremely unreasonable, but there was no trace of impatience on Boss Yu's face. Instead, he showed a little bit of relief. "Don't worry, I will notify them through the dead mailbox. I will never let them know."
It will be directly related to them." As Boss Yu spoke, he leaned over and raised a piece of floorboard, and took out a bag from the hole under the floor. Looking at the weight of the bag, the contents inside were not light.
"Here are the two pistols and a hundred rounds of pistol ammunition you want!" Boss Yu opened the bag in front of Tang Cheng and took out two new pistols that still smelled of gun oil. A hundred rounds of pistol ammunition were also taken out.
It was wrapped heavily in a cloth bag. At this time, it was not the time to show restraint. Tang Cheng immediately reached out and took the two pistols, and soon divided the two pistols into a pile in front of Boss Yu.
Component.
"Yes, they are all new guns!" After some disassembly and assembly, Tang Cheng finally gave a comment. As for the hundred rounds of pistol ammunition, Tang Cheng just opened the cloth bag and glanced at it casually. "The specific time of action, I may
We still need more time to plan. As for the details of the operation, I will not report it to you. As long as the time is right, I can take action at any time." Boss Yu prepared two Browning pistols for Tang Cheng.
, although he was not very satisfied with the lethality of the Browning pistol, Tang Cheng did not do it in front of
It was brought up in front of Boss Yu.
Tang Cheng did not stay at the tea house for too long, and he left as quickly as he came. However, after leaving the tea house, Tang Cheng did not return to his residence immediately, but went to Hans's restaurant. "Get me two m1911s.
A hundred rounds of bullets, I can use them." Tang Cheng and Hans didn't need to be polite. After all, the other party knew a lot about them, so they made the request directly to the other party in Hans's office.
Tang Cheng suddenly came to Shanghai, which was a bit strange. Hans asked several times, but Tang Cheng did not tell Shanghai's purpose. At this moment, Tang Cheng suddenly asked for weapons and ammunition from him, even though Hans didn't know Tang Cheng's purpose.
, but he can also make a rough guess. "There's nothing wrong with the gun or bullets. I won't ask you what it's for, but in return, you have to do something for me." Since Tang Cheng didn't want to tell the purpose,
Hans chose to face Tangcheng with a businessman's attitude.
"No problem, as long as it doesn't poke a hole in the sky!" Tang Cheng knew that although Hans was interested in benefits, he was not a brainless person and could not make excessive demands. So he nodded immediately without even asking.
After agreeing, this was somewhat beyond Hans' expectations. Seeing the surprised look on Hans's face, Tang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "I believe you are a smart man, and we have cooperated before, so I don't think you will force me to do anything."
I do things that are impractical."
Tang Cheng's explanation made Hans smile bitterly in his heart, thinking that he had been seen through by the person in front of him. "You are right, I will never force you to do anything uneconomical! The Japanese are now
The limelight is very strong, and my superior has given me a new order to investigate the relationship between the Japanese and the British. Some people in Berlin speculate that the Japanese may have a secret agreement with the British." Hans revealed the news,
Tangcheng was confused. How could the Japanese get involved with the British?
What he was thinking in his heart was one thing, but what he was saying was something else. So Tang Cheng took over Hans's words and asked with seeming concern. "You mean, the Japanese are playing a trick of playing both sides."
?" Hans has been in China for many years, and Tang Cheng knows that he is a China expert, so in the words just now, Tang Cheng used the word "ambitious". Strictly speaking, the word "ambitious" is not a derogatory term, but it is
If used to refer to Japanese people, the word immediately takes on the flavor of a derogatory term.
As expected, Hans knew what it meant to have both sides. He nodded lightly towards Tangcheng and said, "Yes, that's what Berlin means! Although the Japanese have secretly formed an alliance with the empire, Japan is in Asia after all, and the big shot in Berlin is
They could only give suggestions, but they could not influence the thinking of the Japanese. The upper echelons of the empire originally thought that the Japanese could contain Britain, France and the United States in Asia, so even if the Japanese had expressed their intention to fully occupy China, Berlin still pretended to have nothing.
have no idea."
"Looking at the situation in Shanghai now, the Japanese have no intention of offending Britain, France and the United States. At least the Japanese army in Shanghai has not taken action against the Shanghai Concession. From this, Berlin infers that the Japanese may have secretly reached a secret agreement with Britain, France and the United States. This is
The empire definitely doesn’t want to see that.” In front of Tang Cheng, Hans talked about the Japanese’s attempt to fully occupy China. If it had been anyone else, he might have turned against Hans and started a quarrel, but Tang Cheng
No response.
Tang Cheng just lowered his head and smoked, not because he needed help from Hans at this time, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart. He did not react, because Tang Cheng judged that what Hans just said was actually a test by the other party.
.Seeing that Tang Cheng's expression remained unchanged and he was just smoking without saying a word, Hans showed a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He knew that his test had failed. But even so, Hans's tone of voice did not change, because he had just
What he said was not made up out of thin air by himself.
After Tang Cheng finished smoking a cigarette, he asked Hans, "What can I do for you? What you just said makes me dizzy. Why don't you just tell me what you want me to do? You know me
What am I good at? I'm not good at things that use my brain!" Tang Cheng pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, then looked up at Hans, with no trace of emotion in his eyes. Hans, who originally planned to continue testing,
There was nothing he could do now. Judging from Tang Cheng's appearance, he was not affected by his words at all.
After a slight hesitation, Hans decided to tell the truth, "What I just told you is really what Berlin meant. The situation in Shanghai looks weird right now. Most of the experts I have contacted in private have this kind of attitude."
Opinion." Hans said implicitly, but Tangcheng knew that the insiders Hans just mentioned were referring to those parties involved in the Shanghai Concession.
Intelligence personnel, perhaps including intelligence agents from Britain, France and the United States.
"If you are asking me for my opinion, I don't know that the Japanese have any private agreement with the British. If I were Japanese, I would avoid antagonizing Britain, France and the United States at this time. After all, it will take time to end this war." Tang
Cheng's view is somewhat novel to Hans. "Japan is just an island country, and its own resources are not enough to support them in completing this war. If they provoke Britain, France and the United States at this time, their way of obtaining resources from the outside will be interrupted."
Already."
Britain, France and the United States have been selling so-called waste materials to Japan. This is not a secret. Even Hans, who lived in Shanghai in the last issue, knew it. When Tang Cheng reminded him, Hans immediately reacted and just followed Tang Cheng.
As he continued to ponder his thoughts, Hans truly understood what Tang Cheng wanted to express. "Tang, do you mean that the current attitude of the Japanese is just a temporary measure?" Hans quickly came to an inference.
, but he is still not sure about this inference.
"Yes, it is a temporary measure!" Tang Cheng nodded in agreement with Hans's conclusion. "The war has just begun. Although the Japanese army has already taken control of Shanghai and mobilized troops to besiege Nanjing, the Japanese army has also seen China's courage and bottom line in fighting to the end.
, Japan is too small, China is too big, Japan is preparing to fully occupy China, it can only be an idea. In this kind of thing, if the Japanese offend the interests of Britain, France and the United States in China, it will definitely be counterproductive. The Japanese are familiar with the Three Kingdoms and Sun Tzu's Art of War.
, how could we not know this truth?”
Tang Cheng's words mentioned that the Japanese were familiar with the Three Kingdoms and Sun Tzu's Art of War. This was obviously not a compliment. Hans thought about Tang Cheng's words carefully and felt that they were not unreasonable. "Then what do you think I should do in reply to Berlin?"
?" Hans, who had never grasped the point, took the initiative to ask Tang Cheng what he meant. Tang Cheng didn't find it strange, because Hans looked more like a businessman than an intelligence agent.
"The Japanese may appear to be cruel and cunning on the surface, but they actually have low self-esteem deep inside. They worship the strong, but they often have crazy thoughts and actions that overwhelm their superiors. I would say that the Japanese can take advantage of them, but they cannot give them complete trust.
Because once the Japanese become crazy, everyone in the world can be wiped out and sacrificed except their emperor." Tang Cheng's comments about the Japanese made Hans even more confused, but he also felt that the Japanese were
