Ma Qianzhu asked: "How much information do we have, Hale?"
"According to Lando, Hale was a temporary helper from Paul. Lando believed that he had been in the arms trade, a mercenary or a terrorist." Xu replied, "It is said that this person is very unfriendly."
"I've finished asking, please continue." Ma Qianxu said.
"According to the prisoner's confession, when Mr. Paul first arrived, he proposed to cooperate with the Zheng family to set up an arms factory on Gulangyu Island. To this end, he showed several firearm samples to the Zheng family - the display was confidential, and the prisoner did not know about the Zheng family.
What the leaders saw, but after this display, the Zheng family’s attitude towards him changed drastically. It is probably some kind of weapon with a subversive effect.”
"I have a question," Qian Shuiting raised a question. "I just showed some equipment that surpasses the average level of time and space in the ppt. I think this is something incredible. You must know that we can build such a large-scale industry because of manpower.
He is well prepared in terms of equipment and materials. If Hale was an individual, how could he have such great abilities?"
"I have consulted several veterans of the Manufacturing Directorate on this issue, and the answer they gave me was this," Xuancheng took out a document and read out: "Looking at the items and architectural photos currently handed over to us for study,
The technical content has certain advantages compared to the 17th century, but the overall level of application is very rough, and the materials and craftsmanship used in constructing these items did not exceed the level of the 1630s."
"Are you saying that Hale's technology is relatively rudimentary?"
"Yes, that's what the veterans of the manufacturing director department really mean," Xu Xu said. "I asked them to evaluate the subject of 'Can one person do this alone?' and the answer was: Yes. Prerequisite
There are enough manpower and material resources to drive it. Please allow me to continue reading some of the passages:"
"In terms of technical level alone, the technical details required to realize the windmill and reverberatory furnace are not complicated, but in terms of time and space technology and material levels, it will inevitably require more manpower and material resources."
"So, Mr. Hale is still an engineering and technical expert?" Qian Shuiting found it a bit incredible. For a "red neck" like him, he is already a very capable person in the United States, but his brothers are expected to use modern
It's okay to have the equipment to build a Kentucky rifle, but it's obviously beyond our capabilities to build a reverberatory furnace.
"It's very possible." Xu Xu nodded, "Although no products that reflect his true technical level have been seized so far. Judging from the materials at his disposal, what he can organize the manpower and material resources to produce should be far inferior to our industry.
The products manufactured under the system should have exceeded the technical level required by time and space."
"To put it figuratively speaking, he can make a useful flintlock gun. But he can't make a minigun. Is that what you mean?"
"Concerning this issue, the veteran of the industrial port said this. Please allow me to read out another relevant document." Xu Xu read, "In terms of manufacturing individual weapons, tools or equipment. We believe that this time traveler is not considering
With the investment of Cheng, it is possible to create a Mini rifle, but he does not have the ability to mass-produce it - there will also be big problems with the safety and durability of this Mini rifle..."
"Based on the above analysis, we can draw a conclusion that Hale did not die in the storm. On the contrary, he survived. And he became a Japanese Chechitan believer, Mr. Paul, and is now opposing us."
There was silence for a while, and then Tokuji asked: "Where is Hale now?"
"We haven't been able to get direct information from the Zheng family, so we don't know yet." Xu Xu said this and glanced at Jiangshan, who nodded slightly, "But we have a guess."
"Go on."
Xu Xu paused for a moment. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water.
"Not long ago, during our starvation operation against the Manila galleon, we discovered some relatively unconventional situations - the Spanish purchased large quantities of certain goods in the Americas that they did not purchase or rarely purchased in the past, and combined with
There are signs that Spain is recruiting Chinese craftsmen on a large scale through Macau, and we believe that Manila is probably doing the same thing as the Zheng Group."
"You mean, the Spaniards are improving their weapons?" He Ming, the military chief, asked.
Jiang Shan replied: "At present, we have not obtained accurate information in this regard, but based on the current situation, it is speculated that this possibility is very high."
"Do we have anyone in Manila?" Qian Shuiting asked.
"Lando is on his way to Manila and will arrive soon." Jiang Shan replied.
"Why did you send him?" Qian Shuiting asked.
"After Operation Hunger ended, we discovered anomalies in the cargo on the ship. We sent him to understand the situation, hoping to establish an espionage network in Manila. Senator Lando knew something about the situation in Manila, and he was a European-Spanish
People control the Chinese very strictly, and we don’t have much choice." Qian Shuiting did not ask further.
At this time, Zhao Manxiong asked: "In other words, even if Lando doesn't apply, we can only send him?"
"Yes, he is the most suitable candidate."
"This is a major threat to the Senate, and obviously something is going on there that is not recorded in history. The Spanish are improving their weapons - we don't know what they want to do, and it is very dangerous. We need to find out and discuss it as soon as possible
A countermeasure." Tokuji concluded.
"We can only wait for Lando's first report."
"But if Permit's inference is correct, then Lando's situation is quite dangerous. Hale and Lando are acquaintances: all the disguises we have made for Lando will be exposed. Therefore, I am prepared to suspend the operation in Manila and bring Lando back.
Withdraw and wait until we find out more about the situation before making any plans."
"Further investigation? How to find out if no one is there? This is not the 21st century. There are other means of investigation. Here, there is no other way except sending intelligence agents."
Jiang Shan retorted, "But this would put Lando in danger. After all, Hale knew him. He was an arms dealer who came from time and space. In a flash, he turned into something like Count Vananova and drove a modern-style yacht. Hale couldn't possibly
He is a fool, he knows what this means, he will kill Lando, and then hide deeper, and it will be difficult to find him again."
"Then let Lando keep a low profile and don't be a count. He is not 007."
"The circle of Europeans in Manila is very small, and a newcomer will attract attention no matter what." Jiang Shan used the professional expertise of the Foreign Intelligence Service.
Chen Haiyang spoke for the first time, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. There are dangers in fighting, and there will also be dangers in intelligence work. You can't just say that you won't do it if there is danger."
"But this is no longer dangerous, it is simply a matter of death."
"How could it be possible? Didn't I say whether Hale is alive and whether he is in Manila? These are just speculations. Maybe that is not the case. Or it may not be true that he is not in Manila." Chen Haiyang said.
"But if Hale is here, then we will send Lando to die. This discovery in Xiamen is very important, and I understand your worries. But this is not a reason to take unnecessary risks. Once Lando is exposed,
We will not give us a chance to rescue him. We can train a group of indigenous Filipino intelligence agents, and they will be better able to collect local intelligence. There are many difficulties, but there will always be a way. Every veteran is our precious asset
..." Jiang Shan concluded in an passionate tone.
"Lando and Hale were on the same boat, right?" Zhao Manxiong suddenly spoke.
The conference room suddenly became quiet, and the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
"After seeing the strength of the Senate, I don't believe Lando would make such a stupid choice." Jiang Shan said.
Tokuji said: "Then let him fully prove his loyalty."
"I repeat: This is a very dangerous action, and Lando will probably die as a result."
"In your opinion, Director Jiang, do you still want to suspend the operation?"
"Yes, we will temporarily suspend the operation. We will make the next decision after getting more information, otherwise we may alert the enemy." Jiang Shan insisted on his proposal.
Zhao Manxiong coughed lightly: "Everyone, it is meaningless for us to dwell on this issue here. Lando has been setting off for many days. He was on an ordinary merchant ship and did not have a radio. Even if we cancel the operation, we cannot notify him
.Even if we send a courier to catch him in 901, it will be difficult to catch him.
"Secondly, Lando's situation has its own uniqueness. It is an option for the Senate to conduct some tests on him. Now that there is a Hale in Manila that is giving us a headache, we should focus on the key points first. I think Lando
The operation should continue, but we should be properly prepared. As the saying goes, don't put your eggs in one basket. To this end, it is necessary to prepare a plan B. Send a second group of personnel to Manila to support him.
Make sure Lando's operation succeeds, or rescue him if it fails."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Zhao Manxiong continued: "I suggest that the Foreign Intelligence Service continue to be responsible for this work, and we can ask the Executive Committee to use the special reconnaissance team and the navy to support it."
"I don't have any objections," Tokuji said. "What other objections do you have?"
Jiang Shan asked: "What if Lando is really a traitor?"
Desi was silent for a moment: "If Lando rebels, we should take him to the special court of the Senate for trial in accordance with the law."
Everyone at the meeting felt that although this plan was not perfect, at least it considered all aspects. No one raised any objections.
Tokuji finally said, "No matter what is found in Manila, Hale and everything he brought must be purified."
