"Chief Kojima, I'm sorry, I took care of some personal matters at noon, so I came back a little late..."
"Zhou Sen, you are seconded from the Secret Service Division. Logically speaking, I am not your direct supervisor, but if you are helping me now, you must obey my arrangements. No matter how important you are, you must do it. In your own position, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, Chief Kojima taught me that I must pay attention next time." Zhou Sen quickly bent down and nodded in agreement.
The first level of official rank is overwhelming. Kojima is the head of the European and American section of the Foreign Affairs Section, and the police rank is still sergeant. He is just one level higher than himself, and he is Japanese, so he is invisibly one level higher.
Manchus like Zhou Sen would naturally look down upon him, if not for the fact that Zhou Sen was a student of Saburo Shibuya.
I'm afraid Kojima wouldn't even look at him.
"Zhou Sen, you and your assistant Anna are responsible for liaison with Poland and Denmark. On the Polish side, it is Counselor Walensky..." Xiaodao threw Zhou Sen a document, which recorded this in detail. Walensky's age, preferences and many other information.
The Japanese are really good at collecting intelligence, and they do it very solidly. Even Walensky's situation at home in Poland is recorded in detail.
It seems that the cooperation between Japanese intelligence agencies and Poland has reached an unimaginable depth.
"This is the tentative procedure for the New Year's Ball. You are responsible for communicating and explaining with the Polish side. This is your job today." Xiaodao threw another procedure to Zhou Sen.
"today?"
"Yes, today is the day. This process must be delivered today, otherwise it will affect other people's work." Xiaodao said.
"Understood, I'll go now..."
"First make a phone call to confirm, and then go to the Certificate and Licensing Section of the Foreign Affairs Department to get a letter of introduction. They won't see you without a certificate."
"yes."
Zhou Sen really didn't know much about diplomatic matters. Although Xiaodao spoke to him in a harsh tone, he didn't get angry at all.
This can be regarded as a small experience. It is difficult for most people to have such an opportunity.
The information contained the phone number of the Polish Consulate in Ice City. Zhou Sen returned to his office, used the phone on his desk, and dialed the number above.
Soon, the call was connected, and the person who answered the phone was a young woman who spoke with a hint of Central Asian accent. She must be an immigrant.
After some communication.
It was agreed to meet with Counselor Walensky at the Polish Consulate at four o'clock.
Zhou Sen looked at the time and saw that there was still an hour left. It would take up to half an hour to drive from the Police Department Road to Ashea River Street where the Polish Consulate Office was located. However, he could not rush to get there in advance. He had to go there in advance.
As for the information in hand, it’s time to find a tea shop, ask for a cup of coffee, study it, and then go there when the time is up.
Just leave.
Zhou Sen called Anna, told her about Xiaodao's arrangements for him, and then handed her the information at hand.
While Unn drove, Zhou Sen closed his eyes and fell asleep, while Anna was in the car looking through the information Xiaodao had given her about the Polish Consulate and Counselor Walensky.
Although Zhou Sen has never studied diplomacy, as an agent, observing people's emotions is the most basic skill, as well as analyzing the character of the target person based on his preferences...
"Zhou Sen, judging from the information, this Walensky is not easy to deal with. He is from a noble family, arrogant and conceited, and also has a very serious moral disorder..."
"This kind of old antique should have been swept into the relics of history long ago. It is really unimaginable that it can still hold a high position."
"But life is difficult for them. The Polish government-in-exile is in the UK, and although the UK also has a consulate in Ice City, the UK does not recognize Manchukuo. That is a continuation of the past..." Anna continued.
"They have already gone through one layoff and are now relying on selling the consulate's belongings to make ends meet."
"So, they still want to save face and suffer the consequences?"
"Yes, so it is difficult to do it. The relationship between the empire and Poland still needs to be maintained. After all, we had an extremely good relationship with them in the past, especially in terms of intelligence. The Poles have given us a lot of help, so we have to let They were satisfied," Anna said.

"They don't have money, and they ask me to contact and communicate with them. Does that mean we have to pay for them to take care of all the things they need to do to attend the fraternity party this time?"
"Yes, this is our real mission."
"This diplomacy is really deep. It turns out that one wants money and the other wants to give money, but how to negotiate can't be brought up. How can we negotiate?" Zhou Sen said, "Is there anyone who has experience in this area that I can ask for advice?"
"No, even if there is, others won't tell us."
"This small island really posed a problem for me." Zhou Sen clicked his tongue. He really didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns here. If Anna hadn't reminded him, he would have run over to kill him today. Meeting Walensky probably won't accomplish anything.
"Anna, can you estimate how much they will cost?" Zhou Sen said.
"No less than 50,000 yuan."
"Fifty thousand, let's hold a social party, invite them over to eat and drink, give them gifts, and give them money?"
"The carriage fees, clothing fees, appearance fees, etc. are all customary."
"Routine, why have I never heard of such a practice?" Zhou Sen asked strangely.
"This is in Manchukuo. It's different in other countries. If you need to support the scene, you can only spend money." Anna explained, "I have done my homework. Unlike you, you can't do anything without a black eye." Know."
Zhou Sen sighed: "It's true, thank you for having you, otherwise, I would definitely fall down hard today."
"Since it's a price negotiation, it's much easier to handle. It's nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money on the ground. This is similar to business negotiation." Zhou Sen said, "Anna, since you have done your research, then help me judge, this Warren What’s Ski’s psychological price point?”
"I think if he asks for 50,000 yuan, the psychological price is around 20,000 yuan." Anna thought for a moment and said.
"How much can the superiors give me?"
"No more than 10,000 yuan at most." Anna said.
"Ten thousand, the distance is too big, it's not easy to talk about." Zhou Sen reached out and rubbed his temples, feeling a little headache.
"It's not easy to talk about. It depends on how you talk about it." Anna said.
"Let's meet the person first before talking."
…
It turned out that there were more than one foreign consulate in Poland on Ashea River Street, some stayed and some moved away.
The location of the Polish Consulate is quite good, at the corner of Ashe River Street and Shan Street, a really good location.
The two-story European-style brick-concrete building facing the street has been built for nearly twenty years. Zhou Sen is not sure what it was originally built for.
But now it is the Polish consulate in Bingcheng, Manchuria.
The appointment was for four o'clock, and it's only a little over three o'clock now. I'm afraid that if I go there, people may not receive me.
This Walensky has such a temper. Zhou Sen doesn't want to be hot-tempered and cold-hearted. The Europeans are arrogant in their bones. Even if Poland has already perished, they still have to fight for their pitiful self-esteem. Put the shelf up.
There were many tea shops on Ashe River Street, so Zhou Sen asked Wu En to find a location close to the Polish Embassy and park the car.
Then he and Anna got off the car and found a tea shop.
After ordering twice as much coffee and a few plates of snacks, Zhou Sen took the information and read it carefully.
After reading it, his impression of Walensky was basically not much different from Anna's analysis.
But at this moment, at that moment, Poland has long been the Poland it was before. Walensky's arrogance is no longer useful. If he continues to persist, I'm afraid it will become a joke.
A Polish government-in-exile was established in Britain. They were now a member of the Allies. Although they hated Soviet Russia, which had also invaded their own country, they hated Germany even more.
Germany and Japan are the Axis powers.
The Polish government-in-exile still has diplomatic relations with Japan and Manchukuo, but it is unclear whether such relations will exist in the near future.
Both Germany and Soviet Russia had consulates in Manchukuo, and Germany even had formal diplomatic relations with Manchukuo, while Poland had enmity with both countries...
And both countries are invited to participate in this social dance. If Poland participates (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 290: Beat the dog to see its owner
If so, there might be some unpleasantness at the meeting.
The private relationship between Poland and Japan is much better than the relationship between Japan and Soviet Russia, and Poland has provided a lot of support and help to Japan. If Poland is not invited to this diplomatic ball, it will probably affect the relationship between Japan and Poland in the past. Friendly relations, and Japan is also thinking of poaching some talents in code deciphering from Poland.
In particular, Poland has been researching the secret code systems of Soviet Russia and Germany, which Japan desperately needs.
There are complex historical relationships and calculations of interests here.
Logically speaking, the liaison and explanation work with the Polish consulate should be left to a senior diplomat who is familiar with the relations between the two countries.
But everyone from Chief Yataro Yasei to Chief Kojima unanimously assigned such a task to Zhou Sen, a person who was seconded from the Special Service Division and had no experience in diplomacy.
There's just so much malice here.
I don't know if there is Yamamoto Satoshi in this. Regardless of whether there is, just assume that there is, and he has no intention of letting him go anyway.
After a cup of coffee, Zhou Sen had read almost all the information in his hand, called the waiter, paid the waiter, and called Anna: "Let's go."
"Zhou Sen, are you going to use these materials to dance with the sword Walensky?" Anna asked.
"Of course, this is the knife I will use for the next meeting and negotiation." Zhou Sen chuckled, "A European homeless dog, what can you be proud of?"
Anyway, no one told him about the secret cooperation between Poland and Japan, so he simply pretended not to know.
Even if things get messed up in the end, who cares? As long as the person in charge is not a fool, or wears the same pants as Da Cheng, Kojima and the like, they will naturally understand.
What's more, there is Saburo Shibuya behind him. These people take advantage of Shibuya's absence in Ice City to plot to exclude him.
Isn't this a slap in the face to Saburo Shibuya?
It depends on the owner when it comes to beating a dog, right?
