Tang Cheng asked Zhou Hongzhuang to keep an eye on Zhang Jianghe. The latter naturally knew what Tang Cheng was worried about, so he uncharacteristically just hummed and stayed at home with peace of mind. Tang Cheng went out early in the morning and went to Joseph's leather shop first. "I will leave Nanjing and go south to Chongqing soon. What are you and Hans going to do with that little Jewish girl? Is it possible that Yao and I will take her with us?" Going to Chongqing? If that happens, you may not be able to see each other for a long time."
Tang Cheng would come to Joseph's place from time to time, so Joseph was not surprised by Tang Cheng's arrival early in the morning. However, when he heard that Tang Cheng said that he was leaving Nanjing, Joseph still couldn't help but have a hint of surprise on his face. Come. "Are you really going to Chongqing?" Joseph looked at Tang Cheng's face without blinking. When he first heard that Tang Cheng said he was leaving Nanjing, Joseph thought Tang Cheng was joking with him. Now he would look at Tang Cheng. His expression didn't seem like he was faking it.
Tang Cheng took out a cigarette, lit one and started to smoke. He blew the smoke from his mouth towards Joseph who was looking at him. Tang Cheng said calmly. "I annoy you guys who think you are smart the most. I have told you a long time ago that I am leaving Nanjing for Chongqing. But look at you, I guess you always thought I was testing you or joking. Right? Don’t you think you can be more sincere? Or do I look like a liar? "
Tang Cheng's words made Joseph feel embarrassed, but the expression of shame on Joseph's face only flickered, and Joseph's expression instantly returned to its previous state. "Will the Intelligence Department let you leave? Don't they know your ability in counter-espionage? If I were the director of the Intelligence Department, I would never let you leave Nanjing!" Joseph's words sounded like he was speaking for Tang. Cheng was aggrieved, but he was actually testing Tang Cheng. He still didn't believe that Tang Cheng was really leaving Nanjing.
"Bullshit ability!" Tang Cheng heard this and immediately looked at Joseph sideways, "Don't give me a high hat. There are many talents in the Intelligence Department, and there are a lot of people like me. Besides, my father has already lost his job for the Intelligence Department. I am the only child of my family. The Intelligence Department cannot forcefully recruit me. From now on, let’s call me the Tang family!” Tang Cheng’s words suddenly reminded Joseph that the young man in front of him had become a descendant of martyrs last year. The Intelligence Department Tang Cheng must not be forcibly recruited to join them.
"Then why did you go to Chongqing? You still have family to take care of!" Although Joseph knew that Tang Cheng looked young, he was a little fox who was used to taking every step he took. But he still asked. If Alice was handed over to Tang Cheng for temporary care, Joseph would have to know what Tang Cheng did for a living after going to Chongqing. At the same time, he also suspected that Tang Cheng mentioned Alice just now in order to take the opportunity to blackmail him for a sum of money and goods.
There is a saying that the eyes follow the heart. Joseph's eyes at this moment made Tang Cheng frown and said, "Lao Yue, you can do it! Don't look at me with that strange look!" When Joseph leaned back, he pretended to smoke to hide himself. After thinking about it, Tang Cheng continued to speak. "After I went to Chongqing, I naturally continued to work in my old profession! With the salary of a police sergeant and doing some small business, I should be able to support my family and myself. Prices in Chongqing should be much lower than here in Nanjing. "
After Joseph's expression calmed down and he raised his eyes to look at himself again, Tang Cheng finally revealed that Zhang Jiang and Kazuya were transferred to Chongqing. "Not only am I being transferred to Chongqing this time, my uncle, Zhang Jiang and the captain you met last time will also be transferred to Chongqing this time to serve as the deputy station director of the Chongqing branch. You name it, I have it all With such a backer, is it still a problem to support the family?”
Joseph's expression had hardened. It was only now that he finally understood that Daqing Tangcheng came to him early in the morning, not to rip off Qiu Feng, but to show off to him! Joseph naturally knew Zhang Jianghe and had met Zhang Jianghe once. He even knew the relationship between Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe. If Zhang Jianghe was transferred to Chongqing together and served as the deputy chief of the Chongqing Station of the Intelligence Department, wouldn't Tangcheng be able to run away in Chongqing!
Tang Cheng, who was smoking, seemed to appreciate Joseph's dull look at this moment. After Joseph finally came to his senses, Tang Cheng continued to speak. "I came to you early in the morning just to ask you, do you want to go to Chongqing with us? I have thought about it carefully. It is best for you to take care of that little Jewish girl by yourself. Leave her here with me. There is really a lot of inconvenience, and I believe you yourselves should understand the path involved."
"I was transferred to Chongqing to continue to be the police chief, and my uncle was also promoted to be the deputy station chief there. With our status as our support, you can go to Chongqing to do business with us. You may not be rich and powerful, but you can support yourself It should be more than enough with that little Jewish girl. Hans naturally has no choice in a place like Shanghai. Can't a small character like you make a choice for yourself?"
Tang Cheng described Joseph as a minor player, which sounded unkind, but Joseph did not refute it, because Tang Cheng was not wrong. In fact, Joseph came to China earlier than Hans. The German intelligence agency believed that Nanjing was the capital of China. Although the embassy was located in Nanjing, it was better to have an external intelligence system in private. Under this premise, Joseph was sent to Nanjing and lurked under the cover of a businessman.
But after a period of time, the German intelligence agency suddenly discovered that the intelligence market in Shanghai seemed to be more active, so Hans was sent to China and based in Shanghai. Joseph, who was not valued, gradually fell into the trap of no one. As early as two years ago, the German intelligence agency stopped allocating activity funds to Joseph, and the two original assistants were also transferred to Shanghai to assist Hans. If Joseph had not been struggling with the funds obtained from leather goods stores and intelligence transactions, Support, he may have been transferred back to Germany long ago.
"Tang, do you have to base your happiness on my pain?" Joseph responded with a sentence that Tang Cheng often said here, but he did not refute what Tang Cheng said just now, because he knew that Tang Cheng did not Say something wrong. Joseph's words, coupled with his resentful expression at the moment, finally made Tang Cheng unable to hold back and grinned.
"Lao Yue, I really regard you as a friend, that's why I gave you the idea just now. You were present at the time and you should have heard what I told Hans last time. Hans also had a few words when he returned to Shanghai. Damn it, I believe there must be a connection between you. Hans should also investigate and find out some clues about what is going on with the Japanese. Do you think that once the Japanese take action, will Nanjing, the capital of the country, still be safe?" Tangcheng gradually He lowered his voice and his expression became slightly distorted.
Tang Cheng knew that the war would definitely break out, and he also knew that Nanjing would fall sooner or later, because with the current combat effectiveness and weapons configuration of the national army, they would never be able to defend Nanjing. Moreover, before they could garrison Nanjing, they had to go through three months of Shanghai. fighting. But Tang Cheng can't tell more people about this, because even if he tells it, no one will believe it. Instead, Tang Cheng will be slapped with big hats. Then not only Tang Cheng will be in trouble, but his family will also be in trouble. will also be implicated.
This kind of contradictory mentality has been plaguing Tang Cheng for a long time. Especially after learning yesterday that Zhang Jianghe had received the transfer order to go south to Chongqing, Tang Cheng couldn't sleep a wink all night. After thinking about it all night, Tang Cheng couldn't find a solution. He came to Joseph early in the morning because he wanted to avoid Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jianghe. Knowing that many people would die in Nanjing but having no way to solve the problem, Tang Cheng felt embarrassed to face Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jianghe.
Tang Cheng didn't know whether Joseph could get the latest trends of the Japanese from Hans, but what he said just now was not to deceive Joseph. He really wanted Joseph to live in Chongqing with him. There will be big changes in Chongqing in the future. Zhang Jiang and the deputy webmaster may not be able to continue to be prosperous, so Tangcheng needs to take precautions and find another supporter for himself and his family in advance. Although Joseph was almost an outcast, he was still a member of the German intelligence agency after all, and Tang Cheng felt that this was a good backer.
Joseph did not give an answer on the spot. Tang Cheng was slightly disappointed, but he did not show it on his face. "Lao Yue, I have to go to other places to meet some people today, so I can't stay here for a long time. I'll give you a day to think about it. Before dark, I will stay by the phone, hoping that you can make the right choice. ." Tangcheng gave Joseph the opportunity and time to choose, then got up and left the leather goods store.
Watching Tang Cheng leave, Joseph felt very heavy in his heart. It is human nature to be selfish, and Joseph was no exception. What Tang Cheng said just now made Joseph, who had been muddle along, begin to examine himself, and he vaguely felt that Tang Cheng must know something. Now thinking back to Tang Cheng's expression when he mentioned that Nanjing would be in danger, Joseph's expression became more and more serious, and he finally began to take Tang Cheng's suggestion seriously.
Tang Cheng, who was slightly disappointed, left the leather goods store and did not go home. Instead, he found a place to make a phone call and then drove straight to the bank. Half an hour later, when Tang Cheng walked out of the bank, he already had a black leather suitcase in his hand. The suitcase contained two pistols and some bullets, as well as some US dollars and oceans. This was Tang Cheng's return to Nanjing from Shanghai. On the third day, I came to this bank and deposited it in a safe.
Tang Cheng prepared these things originally just to prepare for a rainy day, but now that he has received the transfer order to Chongqing, these advance arrangements are of no use. Tang Cheng came to this bank to take out the suitcase, intending to give the suitcase to Xu Huanshan, as a gift to Xu Huanshan before he left Nanjing.
