Sun Guoxin's luck was good or bad, although Carl Garcia was not in the Consulate General. But after Sun Guoxin confirmed his identity, the other party informed him that Carl Garcia had attended a reception hosted by a high-level official of the government.
Sun Guoxin put down the phone and looked a little unkind, and said: "Did you see it? Our soldiers are fighting life and death at the front, and our agents are walking on thin ice every day behind enemy lines. But some people are drunk and dreaming every day. This is really a irony."
"Be careful what you say." Fan Keqin said, "You must never say this again."
In fact, does Sun Guoxin have any problems? Of course there are, for example, he also collects money, but he does not accept the hard-earned money of his subordinates. He only collected money from espionage elements.
What's the meaning? That is to say, after the spy was uncovered, a large amount of money was found in the spy's home. The people below pay him filial piety, and he takes this kind of money. But he didn't deduct even a cent of the money that the people at the bottom should get.
This can only be said to be a product of the general environment. Even looking at Sun Guoxin in this environment is very contradictory. Fan Keqin actually does the same, and he also charges this kind of money.
He won't make any excuses, saying that if he doesn't accept the money, the people below won't dare to take the money. Just accept it, what are you afraid of? Anyway, it's all the little devil's spies' funds, and they haven't poached their own people, so charging a little money is nothing. Robbery is still illegal, but he personally planned many robberies. As long as the banknotes he robbed were from the banks of the little devils or the banks of the puppet government, the more he could steal, the better.
Sun Guoxin took a breath and said, "Well, if I complain like this again in the future, please remind me in time."
Fan Keqin was happy and said: "Okay."
Sun Guoxin thought for a moment and said, "Since they went to the reception, we can go too. I'll give you five minutes to put on your military uniform, and then wait for me downstairs."
"Yes." Fan Keqin stood up and answered, turned around, opened the door and walked out.
When you look at old photos of the Republic of China, you will find that almost everyone in them has a unique military uniform, local, central, American, and old Republic of China. Almost everything. In fact, the original military uniforms of the national government were very messy. Even the local army uniforms were mixed, and very few of them also wore American style.
Although the government has not yet completely changed its appearance at this time. However, the central government, especially Chongqing, has basically completed the work of changing the uniforms, especially for officers from the school level up, so it must have been completed.
Fan Keqin himself is a clothes hanger. After putting on the military uniform, his temperament can be said to be very good. The golden star on the shoulder seemed to be brighter.
After waiting for Sun Guoxin downstairs for a while, the latter also came out in full military uniform. Two people rode in a car, followed by two security vehicles at the front and rear. We drove directly to the guest house in Huangshan District.
It's called a guest house, it's just a different name. This is just like the original Tangshan Hot Spring. It covers a large area and has various activity rooms, healing rooms, entertainment rooms, banquet halls, etc.
This cocktail party was held by a direct descendant of an old man from the Jiang family. Although this man and the old man were a bit at odds, everyone still wanted to give him face. No matter what you say, the blood relationship is there.
As for the name of the reception, neither Fan Keqin nor Sun Guoxin were very interested. The two people's car stopped at the entrance of Huangshan Guesthouse, asked the guard to wait outside, and then showed their IDs and walked in.
Soon they found the hall where the reception was held. All buffet-style food, all kinds of cold food, soups, pastries, everything. And the variety of drinks is very complete, and there are even three huge champagne towers arranged in an isosceles triangle on the two dedicated drink tables.
On the opposite stage, there is a band, currently playing a more soothing and gentle song. On the dance floor in the center, pairs of men and women were dancing with each other.
There were also some people around, sitting or standing opposite, talking in high spirits. This scene is really full of the flavor of the Republic of China.
It's a pity that Fan Keqin doesn't like it and is half a step behind Sun Guoxin. Standing aside, he started looking around for people. There were quite a few people in the entire banquet hall. They were all wearing cheongsams, suits and ties, and some were in military uniforms. Regardless of Chinese or foreign, you can see them all at a glance.
The two people slowly walked around the field, and finally found the target man, Carl Garcia, in a small booth. I have never met Fan Keqin, but Sun Guoxin has had several interactions with him, so he naturally knows him.
Fan Keqin stopped a waiter carrying a wine glass tray, took two glasses of wine from it, and handed one to Sun Guoxin. The latter took a sip and said, "It seems that Karl is communicating with Chief Wang. Let's wait for a while."
Fan Keqin followed Sun Guoxin's eyes and saw two men in suits talking inside.
One of them, Fan Keqin, did know that there was a senior official named Wang in the Ministry of National Defense. Another foreigner with a high nose and blue eyes seemed to be listening to something, sometimes frowning, sometimes seeming to ask a few questions. Obviously these two people were talking about something serious.
After about ten minutes, the topic between the two people should have become less serious, because there is obviously a difference between talking and laughing and having a serious conversation.
After another minute or so, the two of them clinked their glasses and drank at the same time. Then he walked out of the card room. Sun Guoxin glanced at Fan Keqin, then stepped towards him and said, "It's great that Mr. Karl is there too." Then, as if he had just seen him, he looked towards the chief officer named Wang next to him. , said: "Sir Wang, Sun Guoxin is polite in his humble position."
The man surnamed Wang nodded and said, "Well, okay, do you know Karl?"
This time, before Sun Guoxin could speak, Karl spoke first and said, "Yes, Sun and I have had several exchanges, and they were very pleasant. Why, Sun, aren't you busy today?"
Sun Guoxin said: "Today I have something serious to discuss with Mr. Carl. Can Mr. Carl be free for a while?"
Karl seemed to be quite talkative. He glanced at Commander Wang next to him and said, "Wang, I'll talk to Sun first, and I'll go to you later to discuss the follow-up details."
"Okay." Commander Wang said, "Then you guys talk, I'll go have another drink." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Sun Guoxin said: "If possible, let's find a cleaner place. How about going outside to taste a cigar?"
"Ha." Karl said, "That's great, let's go."
