In Tang Cheng's impression, Hans was a playboy who did nothing serious, especially when Hans put on his plaid coat. But he didn't expect that the playboy-like Hans had such keen observation skills and had discovered that someone across the street was secretly monitoring the restaurant. Tang Cheng was slightly stunned, but Hans thought it was because he didn't believe his own judgment, so he hurriedly explained.
"After you left, two of my men came in from the back door to talk to me. When I sent them away, I found an unidentified person appearing in the back alley. At that time, I was more cautious and asked the chef to A little handyman came out of the back alley, and what do you think happened?" There was a pause in Hans's words, and looking at Hans's expression at the moment, it was obviously a look that said you were about to praise me, and Tang Cheng couldn't laugh or cry.
"It turned out that outside the exit at the east end of the back alley, there were suddenly a few unfamiliar hawkers. Just now, before you came in, two of the strange hawkers went to the building across the street. Building. It’s not that I underestimate them, but based on their wealth, it’s probably impossible to live in the building opposite.” Hans’ words made Tang Cheng turn around suddenly and look through the glass of the restaurant’s street window. The building across the street.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. You said on the phone that you had something important to see me. What was it?" Hans didn't seem to care much about the watcher across the street. He just brought what he found to After showing off to Tang Cheng, he brought the topic back to the main topic. Tang Cheng did not answer Hans immediately, but followed Hans to the kitchen's office before explaining his purpose to Hans.
"Hans, you have to help me with this, because I can't find anyone else who can help me except you." Tang Cheng's first sentence made Hans smile with his mouth wide open, because he knew , more effort means greater returns. "As you know, the girl living with us will be returning to Nanjing soon. Due to family reasons, the Nanjing Intelligence Division headquarters may conduct an identity check on her."
"If it's just a normal identity information check, I'm not worried. But the Intelligence Department is an intelligence agency after all. I'm afraid they will secretly use some methods that I don't like, so I have to give her a way to make the Intelligence Department There are people who are afraid but can tolerate this status." Tang Cheng's words sounded a bit convoluted. Not to mention Hans, a big-nosed foreigner, even ordinary Chinese people might not be able to understand Tang Cheng's confusion for a while. What exactly does Cheng mean?
Seeing Hans looking at him with a confused expression, Tang Cheng, whose face was burning, could only cough lightly to cover up, and then patiently explained to Hans. "I know that you are not only a black marketeer. While seeking benefits for yourself, you also secretly work for the German intelligence agency." Tang Cheng gritted his teeth and pointed out Hans' identity, but Hans's reaction was beyond Tang Cheng's expectation. Not only did he not jump up to refute Tang Cheng immediately, but he sat comfortably on the sofa without even the slightest trace of panic.
"Tang, my friend, what you just said, I just thought you were joking with me!" Just when Tang Cheng thought that his judgment was wrong, Hans's eyes had changed, and his tone and tone of voice had also changed. Became cold. "I am an American. According to you, I am a person with status. How can I do things for the Germans? Who among the foreigners in Shanghai has not done black market business? Even those in the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Concession , not the same as me!"
Hans flatly denied that he had anything to do with the German intelligence agency. Tang Cheng was not in a hurry to continue arguing with the other party, but instead stated his conditions to the other party. "Hans, we are all smart people. If you feel that what I just said offended you, then I can apologize to you! But I hope you can help me with what I said before, because that woman may do it in the future. As my wife, I don’t want my wife to be the target of others’ random slander and frame-up.”
After more than ten breaths of silence, Hans, who had been thinking quickly in his mind, finally raised his head and looked at Tangcheng. "What exactly do you want me to help you with? Let's talk about it first. You don't have to tell me anything beyond my ability." Hans's statement made Tang Cheng's lips twitch. He was afraid that you wouldn't let go. As long as you are willing to let go, this matter will be easy to handle.
"Hans, it's not a big deal. I just want to give my wife an identity from you!" Seeing the confusion in Hans's eyes, the smile on Tang Cheng's face grew wider. "Then let me be more clear. I need you to add her name to your list of peripheral personnel. In other words, my wife was already a peripheral personnel secretly working for the German intelligence agency a few months ago... "Before Tang Cheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hans, whose expression changed greatly.
"God! Tang, you are so crazy! Do you know what you are talking about?" Hans, who had not reacted when Tang Cheng revealed his identity before, had already jumped up from the sofa. "Damn it, Tang, what are you thinking about? Tell me!" Hans pointed at Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng was now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but Hans's face had become twisted and ferocious.
However, Tang Cheng ignored the ferocious-looking Hans, reached out and took out a roll of paper from his pocket and handed it to Hans. "Don't get angry with me first, read this thing first, if you understand its value!" When the paper was handed to Hans, Tang Cheng also deliberately rolled his eyes at him. According to Hans's understanding of Tang Cheng, he knew that Tang Cheng was definitely not a person who talked empty words, so he took the scroll with hesitation, and then opened the scroll on the table and only took a glance at it. The original ferocious look on Hans's face disappeared. It immediately dissipated without a trace, and was replaced by shock.
"This is only half of the design. If you can't understand it or don't understand its value, you can take it to someone you trust to evaluate it. But judging from your reaction now, you should also see it. So, can we sit down and have a good talk now?" Tangcheng's calm look made Hans's teeth itch with hatred, and he wished he could just punch Tangcheng and beat him up to relieve his anger. .
Hans wanted to beat up Tang Cheng to relieve his anger, but he knew that he couldn't do that now because he had already seen the value of this design drawing. If he wanted to get the other half of the drawing, he must not talk to this annoying boy in front of him. Fall out. The furious Hans first carefully put half of the drawings on the table into his drawer, and then sat down opposite Tang Cheng again. Only at this moment did he finally understand Tang Cheng's intention.
"Tang, do you want to use this design drawing in exchange for the identity you just mentioned?" Hans calmed down and looked very calm, as if the person who overreacted just now was not him. "If this is the case, then I have to say that your bargaining chip may not be enough. After all, the things in this drawing still exist on paper, and their performance has not yet been verified. Therefore, as far as it is concerned, this thing is It should be considered worthless!"
Hans devalued this design drawing as worthless. This was just a common method in business negotiations, so Tang Cheng was not angry. If it were him, he might have done more than Hans. So Tang Cheng shook his head and refuted what Hans had just said, "Hans, I don't know if you have been on the battlefield or have been exposed to heavy equipment war weapons such as armored vehicles and tanks. The things on this drawing are specifically for tanks. For heavily equipped war weapons such as armored vehicles, the weapons produced by Germany are indeed excellent, but they are not without flaws and shortcomings."
"Hans, the high cost of weapons is one of the shortcomings of German-made weapons. You have to admit this! The thing on this design drawing is actually a kind of individual equipment. Hans, you can imagine the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles. It's coming with overwhelming force and will soon break into your position. At this time, when all infantry weapons seem to be ineffective, the only thing you can rely on may be the counterattack of artillery or armored units."
"But it is an anti-tank weapon that can be carried and used by a single ordinary infantryman. In other words, when the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles are rushing towards you overwhelmingly, you don't have to mobilize a large number of artillery or armored troops to consume a lot of money. Counterattack. You only need to send out countless anti-tank mobile fire teams of two people to completely destroy the enemy's armored offensive."
"The most important thing is that its launch tube can be used repeatedly, so the cost of this anti-tank weapon is very low. You can imagine that using a gun that costs only the same as an ordinary large-caliber artillery shell, Can destroying an opponent's tank save Germany a lot of unnecessary consumption and losses of heavy weapons? This will then save Germany more money and equip the army with more and better weapons."
Tang Cheng said so much in one breath, and it was not Lao Wang's trick, because this design drawing was obtained by Tang Cheng from the system lottery, and it was originally the design drawing of the German Panzerfaust anti-tank weapon. When Tang Cheng won this design drawing, he didn't understand why he had won such a thing. When he talked to Zhang Jianghe about Zhou Hongzhuang's identity in his residence, Tang Cheng suddenly thought that he still had such a thing in hand. , so he came to Hans again.
Hans was right. Tang Cheng was planning to use this design drawing as a bargaining chip to help Zhou Hongzhuang obtain an identity from Hans. Although what he wanted was just a peripheral member of the German intelligence agency in Shanghai, it could also confuse the intelligence agency's secret investigation. At least the intelligence agency would not associate Zhou Hongzhuang with the underground party.
