A foreigner suddenly moved south to Chongqing with his family and became a neighbor of Tangcheng. How could the bureau not investigate? Tang Cheng's half-truth and half-false explanation could barely be fooled. After all, the bureau chief valued Tang Cheng, not Hans, a foreigner. "How is this possible!" Faced with Ju Zuo's joking joke, Tang Cheng reacted with wisdom. "Hans' wife and children are still in Chongqing. If he dares to play tricks on me, his family will not have to leave Chongqing!"
Tangcheng used Hans' family members to talk things over, but it did not arouse the resentment of the bureau chief. The bureau chief who has been in charge of the military for many years is not a kind person. "In the final analysis, Hans is just an outcast abandoned by his country! After the war in Germany, Hans stopped trading in the intelligence black market while he was still in Shanghai because he was worried that the British and French intelligence agents in the intelligence black market would find out his background! Later, he stopped selling intelligence on the black market. When the Japanese took control of Shanghai, he also applied for transfer back to Germany many times, but the German intelligence agency never gave a reply!"
"When he took the initiative to contact me, the German intelligence agencies had already cut off contact with him. Hans still didn't give up, and even sent someone to Nanjing to contact the German Embassy! Guess what happened? The Shanghai Special Higher Education School almost Arrest him as an American intelligence agent! Fortunately, Hans didn't react slowly and escaped from Shanghai before the Special High School took action. Just like that, the German Embassy still didn't do anything!" Tang Cheng's words Among them, there were many people who were complaining about Hans' injustice.
"He is now a pure businessman. Hong Kong affairs are considered a partnership between me and him! You also know what kind of virtue the British are. Even if I take money to find cooperation with the British, they will not look down upon me. It's different when Hans comes forward. After all, he is an American openly, and there are several acquaintances of his in the Hong Kong Department of Justice. He is in the open and I am in the dark. I think this kind of cooperation is quite good. of!"
"Are you optimistic about Hong Kong?" The director heard something strange in Tang Cheng's words, and then interrupted Tang Cheng's words. Since the war in Myanmar resumed, and with the continuous victories of the expeditionary force, the Bureau has noticed that many people in the country are ready to take action. The bureau chief felt that someone of his own was involved in the assassination of the Chairman. Otherwise, how could those Japanese and puppet spies have the topographic map of the South Bank Villa in their hands? The bureau leader has been in charge of the military for many years and is most sensitive to changes in the situation, so during this period, he also had the idea of planning a retreat.
The question from the bureau chief seemed simple. It looked like he was just asking whether Tangcheng valued Hong Kong, but in fact, it was difficult to answer this question. If Tangcheng gives a clear answer and says that it is optimistic about Hong Kong, then Tangcheng is not optimistic about the battle between the national government and Yan'an. Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng just glanced at the bureau and immediately said, "Yes, I am very optimistic about Hong Kong! Although the British are not as good as the United States, once the domestic situation changes, Hong Kong, as a free port, will become extremely important!"
Tang Cheng didn't seem to worry at all that his answer would offend the bureau chief. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to soak in the tea and drew a map on the table in front of the bureau chief. "Hong Kong is not important yet, but if the situation I mentioned changes, Hong Kong's water transportation will become important. Because through Hong Kong, waterways can reach South Asia, Japan, Vietnam, and even India. The British occupying Hong Kong is actually For money, they cannot keep occupying Hong Kong."
Without waiting for the director to speak, Tang Cheng drew the location of Taiwan on the table. "There are only two of us here, so no matter what I say, I won't admit it as long as I leave this door. This is Taiwan. Once The domestic situation has changed greatly. I guess that the person living in the villa on the south bank will probably use foreign forces to retreat here. The Yan'an troops may be slightly better in ground combat, but they have no water power, so It cannot pose a threat to Taiwan."
Tang Cheng's words were already considered treacherous. Fortunately, the director didn't get angry on the spot. He just looked at Tang Cheng with an unpredictable look. But Tang Cheng just smiled and spread his hands in front of the bureau chief, indicating that these words were forced on me by you, the old man! Tang Cheng's deliberately rogue appearance made the director very angry, but he still suppressed the rage in his heart and patiently asked Tang Cheng for the reason for making such an inference. Tang Cheng also noticed that the director was really ready to open up to him today, so he continued to speak without hiding anything.
"You have dealt with Americans, and you should know that their so-called military assistance is not free! The man living in the South Bank villa now thinks that he can really pacify the country with the help of Americans. Before you I also said that the government originally only gave the designations of three divisions in Yan'an, but if you think about it, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have only been cooperating for so long. Yan'an already has the main force of ten divisions, not counting the second and third lines. The strength of the troops.”
"Don't underestimate their guerrillas. These guerrillas have all fought against the Japanese. As long as they are given regular designations, these guerrillas can transform into regular troops immediately. But as for the national army, After experiencing direct confrontation with the Japanese army in recent years, the elite veterans have almost suffered all casualties. The frontline war has reversed, because a large number of veterans in the Japanese army have been transferred to the South Asian battlefield! The one who knows the Eighth Route Army best is the Shanxi-Sui Army. You only need to ask the Shanxi intelligence station to go to the Shanxi-Sui Army to find out, and you should be able to get the current situation of the Eighth Route Army."
When Tang Cheng mentioned the Eighth Route Army, his expression did not change. Obviously, he knew a lot about the Eighth Route Army. "I say this just to compare the increasingly smaller differences between the National Army and the Eighth Route Army! I personally think that once the domestic situation changes drastically, the National Army will not have much advantage!" Tang Cheng said here, using the words Pointing his finger at the location of Taiwan on the table, he said softly, "Therefore, retreating to Taiwan will be the Chairman's last chance and choice."
Tang Cheng's analysis sounded very rough, but the director was shocked because it coincided with his suspicions. How can the government continue like this? Not counting the internal factional fighting, the only one who will benefit in the end is Yan'an. Since the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the bureau has frequently sent intelligence personnel to Yan'an. As the intelligence is transmitted back one after another, the bureau also has a clear understanding of the situation in Yan'an. Just as Tang Cheng analyzed just now, once the Japanese completely withdraw from China, the next step may be a battle between the national government and Yan'an.
As the controller of the military command, the director has a better understanding of the factional fighting and corruption in the national army. How could such an army be the opponent of the Eighth Route Army? Seeing that the boss was thoughtful, Tang Cheng stopped talking and just smoked silently. After a while, after the bureau chief signaled Tang Cheng with his eyes again, Tang Cheng spoke. "I don't want to go to Taiwan, so I must find a way out in advance! The moon in foreign countries is not rounder than in China, so I will not choose to go abroad. In comparison, Hong Kong and Macau are more suitable for me."
Tang Cheng has always given the impression to the bureau chief that he has outstanding abilities and does not like to get involved in irrelevant things, especially those related to politics. Now it seems that I really don't understand this boy who I have always been optimistic about. Especially Tang Cheng's previous analysis and sensitivity to the domestic situation. Among all the young people the bureau knows, there is absolutely no one who can compare with Tang Cheng. Even the two young masters from the Chairman's family only have an advantage in terms of status. When it comes to ability and vision, they are probably not as good as Tang Cheng.
"The land price in Hong Kong is not high now. Let's buy the land in advance. After the war subsides, we can build factories and buildings. It's actually not bad to become a rich man! If you have spare money, why not buy some land in Hong Kong with us? Even if you don't Build a factory, and when the land price rises in the future, just sell it and earn the difference!" Tangcheng knew that someone with a position like the bureau seat would not be able to withdraw from the government easily, but it was still possible to make some investment in advance.
It's a pity that the bureau chief is not interested in Tang Cheng's suggestions. "Just talk about these things here. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. Be careful to cause trouble for your family!" The bureau chief knows that Tang Cheng is not a talkative person. People, but he still gave Tang Cheng some advice. "That foreigner named Hans, tell him not to have too much contact with those robe brothers in the city! The Central Command has put a lot of nails around those robe brothers these days, and I don't know what he is going to do!"
Tang Cheng naturally accepted the friendly reminder from the bureau chief, but when he left the bureau chair's office, Tang Cheng's back was already soaked with sweat. Tang Cheng chose to confess something to the bureau chief after careful consideration. Now it seems that the effect is pretty good. At least the bureau chief did not have a fit and arrest him on the spot because of his remarks. From the reaction of the bureau leader just now, it is not difficult to see in Tangcheng that the bureau leader is a little confused about the current situation, especially not optimistic about some phenomena existing in the government and the army.
In any case, this can be regarded as another difficult time for him to overcome, and Tang Cheng also learned some of the views of the bureau. When he returned to Tangcheng in the military camp, he was called to the office by Zhang Jianghe. He did not hide it from Zhang Jianghe, but told Zhang Jianghe exactly what he had talked with the bureau chief. Hearing this, Zhang Jianghe immediately looked at Tang Cheng with an extremely strange expression. He did not expect that Tang Cheng was so bold and dared to say such words in front of the bureau chief.
Faced with Zhang Jianghe's suspicion, Tang Cheng just shrugged innocently, "The bureau leader is also an ordinary person. Since he is an ordinary person, he will do some things that others think are strange like us. He is the one who wants to I can say anything, I just answered his question, I didn't say anything outrageous!" Seeing Tang Cheng's stupid face made Zhang Jianghe feel angry, and he immediately grabbed the hand The book was thrown at Tang Cheng fiercely.
