Tang Cheng, who had not received any training in demolition, originally intended to detonate the weapons in the underground warehouse just to anger the Japanese army and slightly cover up the whereabouts of the gold. But he did not expect that the holes he made in the floors of the rooms on the first and second floors happened to provide the best vent for the impact of the explosion. After the munitions in the underground warehouse were detonated, the energy generated by the explosion erupted directly upwards along the hole at the top, causing half of the Military Police Headquarters Building to look like a shaft had been dug out.
Half of a building that was in good condition suddenly collapsed. Even though the Japanese army immediately blocked the entire Hongkou District, the news spread quickly in the concession. Shanghai is the largest intelligence agent distribution center in Asia. Intelligence agents from almost all over the world are present here. A big explosion occurred at the Japanese military police headquarters in Shanghai. Half of the building collapsed due to the big explosion. Because of this big news, the intelligence agents of various countries in the concession became busy again.
Although the Juntong Shanghai Station was seriously harmed by the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course, the appearance of Tangcheng had successfully diverted the attention of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course. Although the Juntong Shanghai Station, which had a chance to breathe, has not yet recovered its previous ability to collect intelligence, people at the Juntong Shanghai Station still know some inside information about the Hongkou District explosion that has been rumored in the market. "Inside sources say that the Military Police Headquarters building was deliberately blown down. There should be suspicions at the Special High School."
The Shanghai Station, which has received human and material support from the Military Command Headquarters, can currently do one thing: collect and analyze the news circulating on the market, and select the ones it thinks are valuable and send them back to the Military Command Headquarters. The other is to collect as much needed materials as possible from the rear and use smuggling channels to transport them back to the rear. The big explosion in Hongkou District attracted the attention of intelligence personnel from various countries in the concession. The Shanghai Station, which was eager to perform, was also unwilling to lag behind.
They not only took the risk of recruiting a senior insider lurking in Hongkou District, but also used a silver bullet offensive. Fortunately, they got more inside information about the explosion in Hongkou District from an Osaka-born Japanese military police second lieutenant. The Shanghai Station, which was unaware of the existence of Tangcheng, initially believed, like many intelligence personnel in the concession, that the collapse of the Military Police Headquarters Building was due to the Japanese army's own operational errors, which triggered the explosion.
After they first learned about the situation through insider information, coupled with the information revealed by the military police second lieutenant, the people at the Shanghai Station knew that someone had sneaked into the military police headquarters and then arranged bombs, which caused a big explosion and made the military police The headquarters building collapsed. This is a master! After learning that the attacker had not been caught, the few insiders at the Shanghai Station all sighed secretly in their hearts. They all believed that if there were such masters at the Shanghai Station, their lives would be much easier.
Due to the collapse of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters building, Shanghai Station is destined to have a difficult life in the future, but Tangcheng, the initiator, is enjoying a delicious meal at this time because Hans is back. "To be honest, I have adapted to living in China, the climate here, and the food here. After returning to Germany, except for my family, I was very uncomfortable with everything else, so I came back early. ”
Hans, who was sitting opposite Tang Cheng, was in a state of chattering. Maybe it was because he hadn't seen Tang Cheng for a while, or maybe Hans was really suffocated and he had a lot to say. Tang Cheng was busy dealing with the delicious food in front of him at the moment. He just picked up and listened to what Hans said. In order not to make Hans feel embarrassed, while Tang Cheng was busy stuffing food into his mouth, he would nod slightly in agreement with Hans from time to time.
"The situation in Berlin looks very good, but some of my friends feel that the Führer's stall is too big." Although there were only Hans and Tang Cheng in the office behind the restaurant at the moment, Hans mentioned When it came to the situation in Berlin, he still lowered his voice subconsciously. "The idea of the head of state is good, but although Germany has a good industrial base, its military reserve force is insufficient. I have conducted simulations with several friends. If we want to realize the idea of the head of state, even if the entire population of suitable age in Germany is recruited to serve as soldiers, I am afraid that There will still be consequences of insufficient troops.”
When Tang Cheng heard this, he didn't speak. He just took a piece of beef from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. He gave Hans an encouraging look and signaled the other person to continue talking. Hans paused, lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and then continued. "The Germans dream of getting back everything they lost in World War I. This is the dream of all Germans, which also includes me and my family. But if Germany faces the situation after World War I again, I think I will madly!"
When Hans said the last words, his tone was very low. Tang Cheng had to stop what he was doing, reached out and grabbed the cigarette case in front of Hans, and lit a cigarette for himself. "I have long said that your head of state is a qualified social activist and a semi-qualified politician, but he is definitely not a qualified military strategist. If I were a high-ranking German military officer, I would only give Your head of state holds the position of a squad leader because he only has the military ability to command a squad."
Tang Cheng's words made Hans, who looked bitter, couldn't help laughing. It was indeed like what Tang Cheng said just now. Tang Cheng's words had already been told to Hans a long time ago. "You are right, he is indeed not a qualified military strategist!" After laughing out loud, Hans seemed to be much more relaxed. At least the bitter expression just now had disappeared. "You and I are both small people. Since there is no way to change the environment we live in, we have to plan for ourselves first!"
"I came back early this time. To be honest, it was you who gave me the two design drawings. They attached great importance to those two drawings. I just took this opportunity to send my family to France. According to their schedule, there is another In a week's time, they should arrive at the Shanghai dock on a French merchant ship." After chatting, Hans finally got to the point. "If you hadn't come to Shanghai, maybe I would have sent someone to Chongqing to contact you as soon as I came back."
Tang Cheng, who saw Hans's intention, went straight to the point, "Are you planning to send your family to Chongqing for me to take care of?" Tang Cheng hit the nail on the head, and Hans gave a thumbs up with sincerity. Hans mentioned his family in front of Tang Cheng. He was really trying to trick Tang Cheng. He secretly sent Hans' family to France. If he stayed in Shanghai after coming to China, the secret might be exposed. . It would be different if they were sent to Chongqing. Hans knew that Tang Cheng was doing well in Chongqing. Compared to the chaotic Shanghai Concession, Hans preferred that his family live in the relatively safe Chongqing.
"Tang, we are good friends! Shouldn't it be a gentleman's duty to help take care of a good friend's family?" Hans, who originally put his interests first, uncharacteristically played shameless tricks with Tang Cheng, and even used himself to pry. The news threatened Tangcheng. "Don't think that I didn't know that what happened in Hongkou District is related to you just after I came back! Now I dare to pat my chest and confirm 100% that what happened in Hongkou District was your fault. Do you dare to swear like me?"
Just as Tang Cheng was about to retaliate, he suddenly thought that the guy in front of him had many insiders in Hongkou District. He must have accurate information about the military police headquarters building. Regardless of whether Hans was 100% confirmation or deceiving himself, Tang Cheng had a dull look on his face and did not respond immediately. Tang Cheng silently expressed his disapproval, and Hans wisely did not continue to ask questions. The two people who had not seen each other for a while actually had some tacit understanding.
"The incident in the Military Police Headquarters building is a bit big. The news I got here is that both the Military Police Headquarters and the Special High School have mobilized a lot of experts to investigate this matter." Even if there is no such thing as family, Han Si was also willing to share the information he had obtained with Tang Cheng, but he had just returned and the information he had obtained was not much. The news revealed by Hans did not go beyond Tang Cheng's expectations, but he didn't really care.
"I will stay in Shanghai for a while. When your family comes, I will personally escort them to Chongqing. However, we brothers will settle the score. The current land price in Chongqing is not low. You have to bear the cost of resettling your family!" Tang Cheng picked up the wine glass in front of him, signaled to Hans, and drank all the wine in the glass. Tang Cheng openly asked Hans for money, but the latter was overjoyed. His attitude towards money was almost the same as that of Tang Cheng. Hans also felt that as long as money could solve the problem, it was nothing at all.
"I am returning to the United States this time. The situation in the United States is very good. I asked someone to bring back a batch of medicines. Are you interested?" Hans reciprocated and informed Tangcheng about the medicines he brought back. . As the Japanese army's control of Shanghai intensified, it was difficult to obtain sufficient quantities of drugs, let alone the market, even on the black market. The news that Hans revealed at this moment was no less than giving timely help to Tang Cheng. Of course he was interested.
"I'll cover all of your medicines! But you have to be responsible for transporting them out of Shanghai! I will arrange the residence of your family after they go to Chongqing, and the money will be deducted from the money for the medicines. My family occupies a small street in Chongqing, and an entire Every street is full of people. If your family lives there, at least there will be no problem in terms of safety." Tang Cheng didn't have enough money on hand to pay Hans, so he took the initiative to mention to Hans that his home was in Chongqing. The situation is just to reassure Hans that at least he has the ability to pay.
