Chapter 574, The world stage
"please."
"please."
Zhang Yong and Catherine made excuses.
His eyes were fixed on the other person. He makes no secret of his possessiveness.
The other party still owes him 3,500 pounds. Must take a few more looks. Considered interest. Since she is a peer, she definitely doesn''t care about other people''s opinions. Right?
“Captain Zhang, we can cooperate for a long time.”
“You should go and discuss cooperation with our boss Dai.”
"No. You misunderstood. We only want to cooperate with you personally. It has nothing to do with Boss Dai or the Fuxing Society."
“You mean, you look down on Boss Dai?”
"Yes."
Catherine admitted it bluntly.
Zhang Yong:…
All right. Sometimes British people talk like that.
Don’t know how to beat around the bush. Don''t show mercy to others either.
Especially for Chinese people. Even more so. They never felt that the Chinese could be equal to them.
One is an old capitalist empire with strong industry.
The remaining power of the empire that the sun never sets is still there. There are many colonies.
One is a weak agricultural country. There is almost no industry. There are no colonies.
The two sides are indeed completely different.
The British may look at you when they need you.
If he doesn’t need you anymore, he will never give you a second glance. It might even crush you to death.
(Du Yuming: I have something to say! @#￥%…)
“How to cooperate?”
“Intelligence sharing.”
“How to share?”
“You share information about the Japanese with us. We share information with you about the Germans.”
“The German intelligence seems to be of little use to us.”
“Don’t you want to buy arms?”
"think."
“Since you think about it, of course you need to keep abreast of the situation in Germany at all times! If I say this, is there no problem?”
"No."
Zhang Yong nodded.
It is Dickens who speaks now.
Obviously, this guy is very good at disguise.
At the same time, he is also very persuasive. A few words stuck on Zhang Yong''s neck.
Arms purchase.
Indeed, very important.
There are actually many people from the national government conducting inspections in Germany.
The so-called inspection actually means to see what is available to buy. Is there anything I can afford? It works for us.
Zheng Jiemin, Tang Zong, Song Ziliang and others were all there. There are also many officials from the Ordnance Industry Department.
Buying is worse than building, and renting is worse than buying. This was the mainstream in the Chiang Kai-shek era.
However, there are too many variables in arms procurement. No one is sure that it will be achieved.
Even if both parties have signed a contract and finalized the details. It is also possible to regret it temporarily. The Germans took the money and didn''t deliver the goods. It''s not impossible.
“I don’t have any influence on arms purchases. I’m just a very small person.”
“But you want the arms purchase to happen.”
“Not necessarily.”
“Mr. Zhang, the research materials we have for you are as thick as five Cihai volumes.”
“Cihai?”
“Yes. The first edition of Cihai just published.”
"Well…"
Zhang Yong was speechless.
?This Dickens is indeed difficult to deal with.
?These old imperialist agents, even young people, are not fuel-efficient lamps.
?However, Zhang Yong always firmly believed that the other party did not hesitate to reveal his identity and come to discuss with him, and it was definitely not for the topic he was talking about now. There must be something more important.
In this case…
Then calm down.
Just wait for the opponent to reveal his final trump card.
"please!"
"please!"
Continue drinking coffee.
?Bitter coffee doesn’t taste good. But it can be refreshing.
Lean back. Close your eyes and rest your mind.
You two, if you haven’t gotten to the point yet, then we’ll just go on like this.
finally…
Dickens said: "Zhang, how much do you know about the Thunderstorm Plan?"
“What’s the plan?” Zhang Yong pretended to be stupid.
“Plan Thunderstorm,” said Dickens, “a plan of Japanese origin.”
“What’s the content?” Zhang Yong continued to play dumb.
“Steal German technical data and improve Japanese weapons and equipment.”
"Yeah?"
“We have confirmed that the Japanese have such a plan.”
“How can we see it?”
"According to our intelligence channels, in the past few days, some eye-catching changes have taken place in Japanese aircraft manufacturing companies such as Nakajima, Kawasaki, and Mitsubishi. In cooperation with our allies, we have obtained some shocking news."
“Your ally? CIA?”
“What A?”
"nothing."
Zhang Yong immediately changed his tune. Take back your words.
It seems that there is no CIA in this era. I messed up the time myself.
The allies mentioned by the British must be the Americans. It can''t be French. The French were never allies of the British.
Although the British and French forces often appeared. But that was just to deal with the Germans.
“What shocking news?”
“The Japanese are accelerating the performance improvement of their aircraft. More powerful aircraft are being designed.”
"Yeah?"
“Now, it’s your turn to share the information you have.”
"I?"
"right!"
Dickens was young though. But he is very experienced in doing things.
Zhang Yong deeply suspected that this guy must have received relevant training since he was a child. Although he is only in his twenties, his work experience may be more than ten years.
They are all masters! The agent started with the doll.
“I have no information to share.” Zhang Yong shook his head.
There is currently no information about the British. Spain does have a little bit of that. But it''s not accurate either.
It’s still early. The prelude to World War II has not officially begun yet.
Spain is starting to warm up.
“Then let’s discuss the arms purchase.”
“I don’t have permission.”
“I’m not talking about Jinling procurement. I’m talking about Beiping.”
“Beiping?”
“Buy from us. Not from Germany.”
“Are you willing to sell?”
“Of course it’s not allowed to make it public in large quantities. But one or two shiploads of arms, no problem.”
“What is the specific quantity?”
“Five thousand Enfield rifles, five million rounds of ammunition.”
"How much?"
“Is this important?”
"certainly."
“You are responsible for contacting us. The specific price will be negotiated by someone from Peking.”
“Only a rifle?”
“Only rifles for now. If this trade goes well, we can consider increasing the types and quantities of arms.”
"good!"
Zhang Yong didn’t say much.
??The British are also people who can''t afford to be early if they don''t have any profit. They won''t make a loss-making deal.
Sell the military arms to the 29th Army and let the 29th Army fight with the Japanese invaders. Indirectly weakening the power of the Japanese. Then maintain British interests in the Far East.
????????????????????????????????????????
It’s an old routine.
?However, Zhang Yong had no reason to refuse.
Because I am weak. Therefore, a large amount of arms is needed. Even rifles and bullets are urgently needed.
Five thousand rifles and five million rounds of ammunition, enough to equip two brigades.
Although it may not have a decisive impact on the overall situation of the war. But it will definitely make the Japanese invaders pay a heavier price.
"When can the delivery be delivered?" "As long as it is agreed upon. Our ship departs from Singapore and it only takes ten days to reach Tianjin Wei."
"good!"
Zhang Yong nodded.
?The British Army’s Far Eastern Command is located in Singapore.
There is no doubt that the British have a large amount of weapons and equipment in their reserves here. Five thousand rifles and five million rounds of ammunition are completely small numbers.
?As long as the British are willing, there is no problem in adding a zero after each number.
In fact, in large-scale wars, it is no longer rifles that play a decisive role. Most of the time, rifles are of limited use.
“That’s it.”
"good!"
As for how to trade, that is other people’s business.
??He is just a little half-way agent, and he is already an outstanding person in charge of pulling strings.
“Zhang, don’t mind if we talk about something off-topic.”
"explain."
"Did you meet two White Russian women when you were at Fuli Palace? They are already dead."
“Let me think about it.”
Zhang Yong tried to remember. That''s right. There is such a thing.
At that time, I didn’t pay attention at all. Don''t want to cause unnecessary problems.
Confuse.
??What do the British want to do now?
"Yes."
“It’s a pity. You ignored a wealth code.”
"What?"
?Zhang Yong suddenly became energetic when he heard the word wealth.
The password to wealth? You mean, these two White Russian women have five million on them? sorry. I don''t quite believe it. real.
?At that time, there was nothing special about the two of them. Are you being alarmist?
“Their identities are not simple.”
“Want to hear the details.”
“Both of them are Safiya’s subordinates.”
"Yeah?"
“Of course. They are responsible for delivering information.”
“Since he was delivering information, why did he die?”
"Of course he was tricked. Someone took the information but didn''t pay the money. He killed the person and then ran away."
"who?"
“Safiya was asking the same question. So, she offered a reward.”
"How many?"
"Safiya''s bounty is not calculated in terms of money. It is calculated in Tarot cards. A special kind of Tarot cards."
“How much is a tarot card worth?”
“If you are new to the intelligence industry and have not yet started, you can buy a lowest-grade white tarot card for $10,000.”
“You mean, there are levels of tarot cards? The lowest is white, then gray, yellow, gold, purple?”
“No. There are only two higher-grade ones: gold and diamond.”
“Gold…”
“Under normal circumstances, ten white Tarot cards can be exchanged for one gold Tarot card.”
“And ten gold tarot cards can be exchanged for one diamond tarot card?”
"No. There is no fixed price. As long as both parties reach an agreement, any exchange can be made. But for some information, only Tarot cards with gold or above are eligible to enter the game."
"I see."
Zhang Yong tilted his head and thought for a while. This is easy to understand.
Not as complicated as the game cards of later generations.
It is estimated that Safiya, a woman, cannot come up with such a complicated system. Why not remind her yourself?
I can design the tarot cards to be level 100, and each upgrade requires krypton gold. If you don''t spend money, you can''t even beat a dog. Guaranteed to make a lot of money.
“She is a woman…”
“You are wrong. Safiya is not a woman. It is the abbreviation of a professional intelligence organization.”
"What?"
“The Safiya you see is a representative of the organization. There are many similar representatives. She is just one of them.”
“Well…”
Zhang Yong was silent.
Suddenly I felt like reading a fantasy novel.
It turns out that in the intelligence industry, there are also levels. Without corresponding levels, many things are inaccessible.
?What level are you at?
never mind. Don''t think about it. So as not to beat yourself up.
I am a newbie in the Fuxing Society. It''s only been eight months since I joined the company, what else do you want?
As for Fuxingshe, in the world''s intelligence industry, it is estimated that it is not even a newbie. The original purpose of the Fuxing Society was not for information.
Intelligence is actually a part-time job. Even if you are a Virgo, you are not even considered a young guy in the world''s intelligence industry.
A little frustrated…
But I’m still looking forward to it…
Even though we are all newbies, can we go in and have a look?
??If you rely solely on the resources of the Fuxing Society, you will definitely not be qualified. However, he is a time traveler! He knows about major historical events!
??Knowing that the Soviet Union and Germany were at war...
Knowing about Pearl Harbor…
?Just these two major events can attract a huge amount of wealth.
Imperialism has no shortage of money.
?Is the UK short of money? lack. But millions of pounds or whatever, that''s all trivial.
??Is the U.S. emperor short of money? No shortage. As an arsenal for world wars, the family''s coffers are almost full. It''s a small thing to make millions or tens of millions of dollars.
A Missouri battleship costs more than 40 million US dollars. Schedule dozens of ships at once. As a result, the war was over and the construction had not yet been completed. Had to cancel.
Not short of money!
real. Imperialism is not short of money!
?As long as you study hard, make progress every day, seize the opportunity, and make millions of dollars, you should be able to do it.
Our goals are not high either. Let’s set a price of 5 million US dollars first…
"in addition…"
"explain."
“The Red Tsarist Russia may have noticed you too.”
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong was indifferent.
This is to be expected. Our northern neighbors are not stupid.
In fact, the intelligence agencies of our northern neighbors are also very naughty. Its name became famous in the following decades, and people''s faces changed when they heard it.
They noticed themselves? There are good things. There are bad things too.
Anyway, this thunderstorm plan has already begun to stir up trouble.
What will he do now?
Prepare the cornucopia first. Get ready to pick up money in a sack.
At home, fighting Japanese spies and getting $100,000 is already top-notch. Too petty.
Look at Kurodao Ryuuzhang, a member of the Japanese royal family, he was only able to get three hundred thousand US dollars. It can be seen that blindly picking wool over the Japanese invaders will probably not be much better.
??????????????????????????????????????????
No matter which country they are from, they will not reject anyone who comes, but they will be disrespectful.
With the rapid development of telegraph technology, communication across the earth has become no problem at all. Shanghai Beach can definitely be called the world intelligence center!
longing for…
longing for…
The world’s big stage…
“Zhang, let me send you another piece of information.”
"What?"
“Wanshengwei.”
"What?"
“A lair belonging to Yoshiko Kawashima. There might be some good stuff.”
"oh?"
“A free gift. It’s our sincerity.”
"Thanks!"
ifies you.
ifies you.
Zhang Yong sent the two men away.
?Muttered secretly in my heart. Sincerity? I believe you are the only one who has ghosts.
Asking me to kill Yoshiko Kawashima is tantamount to weakening the power of the Japanese in disguise. Good for you Brits.
?You don’t take action yourself and encourage me to let go.
but…
If you encourage me, just encourage me!
?As long as it is beneficial, Zhang Yong doesn''t mind doing it.
He doesn’t know much about strategic awareness. All I know is that the Japanese killed them one by one.
The Japanese weapons and equipment were snatched away one after another.
The wealth of the Japanese people is also taken away one after another.
Wanshengwei…
He hesitated secretly.
Can’t move yet.
Because, he cannot leave the area around Elizabeth Hospital yet.
What if he leaves and Boss Dai is attacked. That''s tragic. For the time being, Boss Dai is also his golden thigh.
what to do?
Online and so on.
Very anxious.
