After receiving a call from Tang Cheng, Hans dropped what he was doing and rushed over immediately. Hans was not slow. When he arrived at Tang Cheng's residence, Tang Cheng, who had just taken a shower, had not even had time to dry his hair. The attack on the Xinya Hotel had already spread in Shanghai in just one night. A guy like Hans, who had great hands and eyes, obtained first-hand information through his own insider connections. Hans's first reaction when he saw Tang Cheng was to stare at Tang Cheng without blinking. He suspected that the incident at Xinya Hotel was related to Tang Cheng.
"Where have you been these two days? I called several times and they all said you were not here." Hans did not directly ask whether Tangcheng was related to the attack at the Xinya Hotel, but deliberately asked in a nonchalant tone. Tangcheng spoke. Tang Cheng knew Hans' intention, but seeing that Hans didn't want to make it clear, Tang Cheng pretended to be confused. He just told Hans that he went to Suzhou for business.
Tang Cheng replied that he had temporarily gone to Suzhou for business, but Hans did not doubt him, especially since he did not see any flaws in Tang Cheng's expression. "You don't know yet? Something happened again at the Xinya Hotel last night. I asked someone for information. It was said that two colonels and four lieutenant colonels from the Military Police Headquarters all died in the Xinya Hotel. In addition, there were Dozens of military police and plainclothes policemen." Hans, who still wanted to see the flaws in Tang Cheng's expression, secretly paid attention to Tang Cheng's reaction as he spoke.
Hans wanted to see the flaw in Tang Cheng's reaction, but unfortunately, the expression on Tang Cheng's face had not changed much. Hans secretly muttered in his heart, could it be that the incident at Xinya Hotel really had something to do with Tang Cheng? Not relevant? Before Hans had any conclusive evidence, Tang Cheng would certainly not admit that what happened at the New Asia Hotel last night was related to him. Tang Cheng believed that Hans would not betray him, but it was better to do less than to do more.
"Let's not talk about the Japanese for now. I came here to tell you something good." Tang Cheng took Hans upstairs to the study. After locking the door with his own hands, Tang Cheng opened the door in the study. took out a paper tube from the safe. "This thing took me a lot of thought. I went to Suzhou this time just to get this thing." Tang Cheng suddenly had a whim in his mind and simply used the paper tube in his hand to dispel Hans' suspicion that he and Xinya Hotel Thoughts related to the attack.
The paper tube that Tang Cheng took out from the safe looked ordinary. Before Tang Cheng opened the paper tube, Hans stared at it for a while, but he didn't see anything. Tang Cheng opened the paper tube and took out a rolled-up drawing. "This is the design drawing of the American Garand rifle. I gave you a Garand rifle last time. If you just design it according to the finished product, it will be reversed." Pushing it will definitely take a lot of time, but with this design drawing, I think it will definitely save a lot of time."
The Garand rifle Tangcheng gave to Hans last time had already been sent to Berlin by Hans through his own channels. Although the engineers at the arsenal must be able to reverse the design principles based on the finished product, if there is this Garand The design drawings of the rifle save not only time. "This design drawing is the design drawing of the Garand stepper type. The original gas guide device will make the connection between the piston barrel and the gun mask unstable, and the bayonet assembly will be unstable, which will cause the movement of the rifle's sight and affect the accuracy. Now the The gas guide has been changed to open a gas hole under the barrel.”
The design drawings of the Garand rifle that Tangcheng drew from the system are indeed the result of an improved gas guide. However, according to the historical process, the defective gas guide of the Garand rifle was not developed until 1939. Improve. Hans knew nothing about weapon design at all, but after hearing what Tang Cheng said made sense, Hans could no longer control the smile on his face. Tang Cheng could call him and take out this drawing as soon as he came, indicating that this drawing must be given to him.
The joy on Hans's face had already been noticed by Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who was laughing secretly in his heart, didn't wait for Hans to reach out for the drawing on the table, rolled it up and put it back into the paper tube. "This thing must be yours in the end, but I have to make it clear first. I can't give this thing to you for free this time. Either you spend money to buy it from me, or you can exchange it with me. In short, you can’t get something for nothing, and I spent a lot of effort to get this thing.”
Tang Cheng actually didn't know whether the design drawing of the Garand rifle was worth anything. He chose to make it clear at this moment, just to pave the way for what would happen next. Sure enough, Hans, who was originally in a good mood, heard that he had to pay or barter to get the blueprint, and the smile on his face froze instantly. "Tang, we are good friends! The friendship between us cannot be measured by money. How can you be like this? We haven't seen each other for just a few days, why are you like this!"
Hans' crying performance did not make Tang Cheng change his decision. While Hans was chattering, Tang Cheng lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely. Hans was so angry that he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart. "Okay! You're awesome, tell me, how much do you want this thing?" Hans originally wanted to continue to stay with Tang Cheng, but he accidentally saw the weird smile on Tang Cheng's face, and then he reacted Come here, I have been tricked by Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to Hans' deliberately vicious face. He just reached out and knocked on the paper tube on the table, smiling as if Hans was convinced. "I know you have a lot of gold in your hands. Anyway, with so many gold bars, you are tired of hiding them all day long. Why don't you give me some. I only want 20 large yellow croakers from you. If you feel If I want more, you can trade the radio with me. If you bring me three military radios, this thing will be yours."
After Tang Cheng came to Shanghai, he had only been to Shanghai's black market twice, so he didn't know the price of military radios in Shanghai. As soon as he finished speaking, Hans was already jumping and shouting. "Tang, you are so open-mouthed! Do you know how many gold bars can be exchanged for three military radios? And this blueprint, is it worth 20 gold bars?" Hans pointed to the table with a painful look on his face. paper tube. "Ten gold bars, or a military radio, your choice!"
Hans was already engaged in black market business, and he was very familiar with radio stations, a banned product on the market, especially what Tangcheng wanted was a military radio station. Hans's answer made Tang Cheng shrug indifferently, "Business is all about bargaining. Since you have already made an offer, I will show some sincerity. 15 gold bars or two radio stations, if you can accept my offer At this price, let’s continue with the next thing!” After finishing his words, Tang Cheng deliberately showed a meaningful smile on his face. Hans’s heart skipped a beat, and then he nodded in agreement without thinking.
Tang Cheng laughed happily when he saw this, and then handed the paper tube in his hand to Hans, got up, opened the safe, and took out another paper tube of the same size from inside. "Let me tell you first, the contents of this paper tube cannot be exchanged for a dozen gold bars or two or three radio stations." Tang Cheng took the paper tube and sat back at the table without opening it. Before removing the tube, Tang Cheng looked seriously and asked Hans to promise that he would not leak the information to anyone.
Tang Cheng's pretense of seriousness made Hans also become serious. After all, Tang Cheng had never joked with him about serious matters. After receiving Hans's assurance, Tang Cheng still did not open the paper tube immediately, but spoke to Hans solemnly. "Hans, we are friends, and because we are friends, I need to make something clear to you first. If you take the contents of this paper tube back to Berlin, your head of state will definitely give you a sufficient A position that many would envy.”
"As a friend, I have only one request for you. You must not have anything to do with the source of this thing. And I have another piece of advice. If I were you, no matter what new position the head of state gave me, I would They will all choose to stay in Shanghai." Tang Cheng's words contained two meanings. Hans only understood the first meaning, but was confused about Tang Cheng's kind reminder in the second half. Before Hans could react, Tang Cheng reached out and opened the paper tube, took out a map and spread it on the table.
"This thing came by chance. I don't know the channel from which this thing first came out, but I am certain that this thing must have something to do with Britain and France." As he spoke, Tang Cheng handed Hans a magnifying glass. , following Tang Cheng’s instructions, Hans took a magnifying glass and looked at several locations on the map, and sure enough he saw traces of marks written in French and English. After Hans turned to look at him in confusion, Tang Cheng took out another map of Germany and handed it to Hans, instructing him to find the connection between the two maps.
Hans is a qualified intelligence officer and a good restaurant owner, but he is not a professional who is familiar with maps. Seeing that Hans had been fiddling with it for a while but couldn't figure out the mystery, Tang Cheng patiently explained it. "The hand-drawn map I first took out from the paper tube was actually a map of Austria. I checked it against the Austrian maps I could find on the market. The red dot on this hand-drawn map should be southwest of Vienna. The small town of Mitterscher in the Alps.”
"The English abbreviation mark under the red dot is an internationally accepted element abbreviation, representing tungsten. So according to my inference, this hand-drawn map should be a geological and mineral exploration record map. As for why this thing is circulated Now that I have left China, I don’t have the time or ability to find the answer, but I want to take a gamble on the authenticity of this thing.” The hand-drawn map that Tangcheng called out at this moment cannot be a fake. The red on the map The point is the future famous Mittersill Tungsten Mine in Austria, which is the second largest tungsten mine in the world.
