Germany's industrial base is very strong. Even after the so-called post-World War I sanctions, Germany has no shortage of engineers and high-quality mechanical technicians. However, Germany is currently a resource-poor country. Tangcheng, who comes from later generations, naturally knows that Germany actually has rich mineral resources, but the German government has not yet discovered these resources. After Tang Cheng got this map of the tungsten mine in Mittersill, Austria, which was drawn from the system, he was thinking about how to get benefits from it.
Mining is always an industry that can make a lot of money, but the Mittersill Tungsten Mine is in Austria. Tangcheng knows that it is impossible for him to get involved directly. He can use this map to exchange some benefits with the German government. After hearing that Tang Cheng said that the red dot marked on the map represented a tungsten mine, Hans's face changed drastically. He almost grabbed it and reached out to grab the map on the table. Tungsten metal is an indispensable and important substance in industrial manufacturing, especially military industry manufacturing. Hans knows how urgently Germany needs this kind of thing.
"Tang, are you sure that the red dot on the map represents tungsten?" Holding the hand-drawn map on the table tightly in his hands, Hans felt a little relieved, but he still needed Tang Cheng's personal confirmation. After all, this map was taken out by Tangcheng. Tang Cheng did not care about Hans's rude reaction. Instead, he showed Hans another map. On it, there was a place circled by Tang Cheng in pencil, which was the Alps.
"It's not true. Compare the two places yourself. Do you think they are similar?" After getting along with Hans for a long time, Tang Cheng knew what kind of character Hans was. At this time, even if what he said was ridiculous, as long as Hans still had doubts in his heart, he would not 100% believe what he said. The best way is to ask Hans to convince himself. Only then can he reap the benefits he deserves by handing this thing to Hans. Following Tang Cheng's instructions and instructions, Hans carefully compared the two maps, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.
"Wait a minute!" After confirming again and again, Hans, who was ecstatic in his heart, was about to put the hand-drawn map into his pocket, but Tang Cheng reached out to stop him. "We are in business, so we should agree on the price first. The thing is here, it can't grow legs, and it can't run away!" Tang Cheng deliberately showed his businessman's face, which made Hans frown secretly, but he didn't do it at the moment. It's easy to just grab your stuff and go. If this hand-drawn map is real, it's worth a lot.
"Hans, we are friends, this is undeniable!" Seeing that although Hans's face changed suddenly, he did not say that he wanted to leave by force, Tang Cheng immediately felt relieved. "Once the value of this thing is affirmed, it will be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Although the friendship between friends cannot be measured by money, the value is too great. There is an old saying in China, called brothers To settle the accounts, I need to tell you some things in advance to avoid any disagreements and conflicts between us."
Hans didn't think deeply about what Tang Cheng said, but after hearing what Tang Cheng said, Hans had to nod his head in agreement. "I gave this thing to you, and I only believe in you. Therefore, you must send this thing back to Berlin in person, and follow the exploration team to Austria for field exploration. If this thing is true, I want It’s not much, 2 million U.S. dollars or the equivalent in gold. If this thing is a forgery, the design drawing I just gave you will be considered my apology, and I won’t take any money from my side.”
Two million US dollars can be considered a huge fortune in this era. Hans's first reaction was to reject Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng was making a deal with the German government in a tungsten mine, so the price of 2 million US dollars was not actually high. Perhaps seeing the hesitation in Hans's heart, Tang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Hans, don't refuse it yet. If I were doing a private transaction with you, the price would indeed be high. But now I'm dealing with The German government made a deal, and what they brought out was a tungsten ore, so the value cannot be considered high."
Just as Hans was about to explain, Tang Cheng stood up again and walked to the safe, taking out another paper tube from the safe. "Guess what's in this paper tube?" Tang Cheng didn't open the paper tube immediately, but just reached out and tapped it gently. This is already the third paper tube that Tang Cheng took out from the safe. The first two paper tubes contained drawings and maps. Although this third paper tube has not been opened yet, it has already attracted Hans. attention.
Tang Cheng, the instigator, certainly knew what was in the third paper tube. Compared with the design drawings and tungsten mine maps he had taken out before, the contents of the third paper tube were equally valuable. "Hans, let me tell you this! The design drawings I gave you before can speed up the replacement of German infantry weapons. The discovery of tungsten ore is also enough to improve the production and quality of German military equipment. And this paper The contents of the tube, to a certain extent, are enough to make up for the German government’s fiscal deficit in recent years.”
Tang Cheng's words at this moment made Hans doubtful. Such a small paper tube could make up for the German government's fiscal deficit in recent years. Hans shook his head hard. He couldn't believe it. "Okay, since you don't believe it, let's not look at what's inside today!" Tang Cheng's reaction was beyond Hans' expectations. He didn't give Hans any time to react. Tang Cheng immediately stood up and prepared to put the things on hand The paper tube was put back into the safe.
"Tang, you can't tantalize people like this. Since you have already taken it out, you should show me the things!" Hans smiled with his face and stretched out his hand to firmly hold Tang Cheng's arm. "If you don't let me take a look, how can I confirm that the things inside are of great value? Unless the things inside are not valuable at all, you are kidding me! I understand, you are what is often said in China to indulge in lust. , right?" Hans had already begun to cheat, but Tang Cheng, who was secretly holding back a smile, still rejected Hans.
"Hans, I can only say that the things in this paper tube are absolutely valuable. If you want to see what's inside, you'd better get what I want first." Hans looked at his tall and strong body. But his strength was no match to that of Tang Cheng. He just gently broke away from Hans's pulling on his arm, and Tang Cheng slowly put the third paper tube back into the safe. "I will give you three days. You must first send the two radio stations to me. This is a prerequisite for our business to continue."
Tangcheng's request made Hans very speechless. Just now he said that the design drawing was a match, but in the blink of an eye, he asked himself if he wanted a radio station! However, Hans did not refute Tangcheng. At this moment, all he could think about was the tungsten mine in Austria. If the hand-drawn map provided by Tangcheng was true and valid, he would have made a great contribution this time! Tang Cheng insisted not to show Hans what was in the third paper tube, and Hans did not persist. He just chatted with Tang Cheng for a few words, and then left with the two paper tubes he had already obtained.
Hans's whole mind was focused on the hand-drawn map, and he completely forgot that he still wanted to ask about the New Asia Hotel. He waited until he returned to his restaurant office safely before Hans remembered it. I called Tangcheng, but found that the line was busy. At this time, Tang Cheng was calling Boss Yu. Compared with Hans, Boss Yu was much more difficult to fool. "You kid, don't tell me what's there and what's not. I'm just asking you, does the incident at Xinya Hotel have anything to do with you?"
Boss Yu on the other end of the phone learned that Tangcheng was safe and sound. Although the mental arithmetic that had been hanging on his mind came to an end, the rage in his words was undoubtedly evident. "I say you are too brave! When I received the news, I was almost scared to death. If you want to assassinate Shimakawa, you will have to think of other ways at worst. The New Asia Hotel is like a dragon's den and a tiger's den. You How dare you stick your head up and rush in!" Boss Yu gave Tang Cheng a hard lesson on the phone, and he didn't give up until Tang Cheng whispered.
"Now that you have withdrawn safely, please stop running around these days. I don't think the Japanese can swallow this breath. They will definitely send people into the concession to cause trouble. There are gangs in the concession that secretly help the Japanese. The power is not small. For those people on the street, you don’t know how many spies have been planted by the Japanese among them!" Boss Yu didn’t know if Tang Cheng could remember his advice. He still had to say what he should say. We need to inform Tangcheng.
"There is also news from the headquarters. The situation is not good recently. The Shanghai Station may have to be silent for a while. The headquarters means that there will be new tasks assigned to you recently. I think they mean to send you assistants to assist in the operation. , you should pay more attention to yourself recently." Boss Yu's last reminder sounded like gossip, but Tang Cheng's heart flashed. Zhang Jianghe had reminded him when he left Chongqing and came to Shanghai.
I am used to working alone, and I have completed the tasks assigned by the Intelligence Division Headquarters very well these few times. At this time, he specially arranged assistants for himself. It seemed that the Intelligence Division headquarters was preparing to control him. Tang Cheng hung up the phone, turned off the light, and then sat on the sofa, silently thinking about his own things in the dark study. Could it be that there are changes at the Intelligence Division headquarters that I don't know about? After thinking for a while, Tang Cheng only came up with this answer.
No matter what, I have done nothing to disgrace my conscience, and I have never done anything to disgrace my country! After thinking for a long time, Tang Cheng slowly stood up and stood in front of the study window and looked outside for a while. Tang Cheng suddenly missed his family members who were still in Chongqing, and even missed Zhou Hongzhuang, who had always been with his mother.
