"There are still no clues about the disappearance of former Armandi death squad commander General Roli Ghani and his wife..."

The Italian newspaper Citizen reported this:

"Italian leader, Prime Minister, Minister of the Interior...His Excellency Mussolini has also expressed serious concern about this incident. He has communicated with the Japanese government many times and requested that this serious incident be resolved as soon as possible..."

Roligani put down the newspaper and got up from the bed.

My spirit is much better today.

Well, the Chinese take very good care of themselves. They hire the best doctors for themselves, and then dispatch a few people to take care of themselves.

I heard that my wife is also very happy in Shanghai.

When she came to see her in the morning, Qiao Brina was still radiant, and her brows were filled with pride.

Probably the Chinese bought a lot of luxury goods for her.

Nice trip to China.

He called the person responsible for taking care of him:

"Hey, I want to see Charles."

"Okay, General, I will make arrangements right away."

…

The phone rang.

Meng Shaoyuan just wanted to get up to answer the phone, but Qiao Brina hugged him: "Don't worry about it."

You can believe it, early in the morning, Qiao Brina got up reluctantly, went to visit her husband as a routine, then excused herself to go out on the street, and immediately sneaked back into the suite next door.

That's right, it's right next door to His Excellency the General.

Meng Shaoyuan was about to get up, but was immediately attacked by Qiao Brina who rushed in...

What a sin, your body can be easily hollowed out like this.

Now when the phone rang, Meng Shaoyuan felt as if he heard the voice of his savior.

"Hey, that's my job."

He tried every possible means to get rid of Qiao Brina and answered the phone that kept ringing: "Okay, I understand, I'll be there in a minute."

Turning around: "Madam, I think I have to leave, your husband wants to see me."

"You really know how to pick your time." Qiao Brina muttered in dissatisfaction...

…

"Charles, are you sick too?"

When he saw Meng Shaoyuan, Luo Lijiani was a little surprised: "Your face is a little pale."

"Ah, I'm tired, I'm tired." Meng Shaoyuan said perfunctorily: "General, why are you so anxious to see me?"

"Please sit down, Charles." Roligani asked the other party to sit down: "I have been in Shanghai for a few days. I was sick, but now I am much better. I think I can't stay here forever. Italy

The people at the consulate may also be looking for my whereabouts, what arrangements do you have for this?"

Of course Meng Shaoyuan thought about making arrangements.

The disappearance of the head of the visiting delegation not only put heavy pressure on the Japanese government, but also turned the so-called international visit into a mockery.

At the same time, the goal of using the chess piece of Roligani to disrupt Kenji Doihara's deployment and regain the initiative in Shanghai has been basically achieved.

In the past few days, taking advantage of Japan's large-scale deployment, more than 20 large and small contact points of the Japanese intelligence agency in the public concession were eliminated.

At the same time, we have initially completed the adjustment of our own contact points, safely evacuated more than ten exposed contact points, and established new contact points.

Even in the Japanese-controlled areas outside the public concession, the Military Command Shanghai Special Office took advantage of the lack of strength of the Japanese special agencies to once again establish eight fixed contact points and twelve temporary contact points.

Especially among the eight fixed contact points, there are also three armed contact points.

The effect of this on the Japanese-controlled areas is obvious.

Now, it is time for the Roligani couple to be successfully "rescued".

But how to be rescued?

How to continue to play the role of Roligani?

Meng Shaoyuan's idea was that it would be best to leave the rescue of Roligani and his wife to Tian Qi.

But the question is, how can we make it so seamless that the Japanese have no doubt that this is a trap?

What's even more troublesome is that Meng Shaoyuan can't even contact Tian Qi at the moment.

"Your Excellency, General, I am making arrangements for your rescue." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a moment and said, "You will regain your freedom in the next few days, and I am sure that you will be quickly sent out of Shanghai and back to Italy."

Roligani is not worried about this. What he cares about is what about the benefits that Daniel once promised?

The general wants to ask directly, but a general always has the dignity of a general. How can a dignified general talk about money with others without dignity?

"General, you have done me a great favor." Meng Shaoyuan took the initiative to mention money: "But before you left Italy, I also asked Daniel to help you pay off all your debts. Logically speaking, we have already paid off both debts.

"

Roligani was a little embarrassed.

But yes, that check is enough to solve everything.

But just paying off the debt is far from enough. The retirement salary of His Excellency the General cannot satisfy Qiao Brina's life at all.

Moreover, your Excellency, General, has no other means of making a living besides fighting.

"In these days of contact with my wife, I found that she is a woman who is very good at spending money." Meng Shaoyuan talked about the pain of His Excellency the General: "Of course, a beautiful and charming woman has the capital to spend money. But Your Excellency the General

, please answer me a question honestly, can you meet her needs?"

Roligani shrugged.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "So, you need my help. I am very rich, but my money is not given to anyone casually. Only my friends, or people who can help me, can get enough from me.

money."

"Tell me what I should do." Roligani no longer hesitated.

"First of all, what I want to talk about is the supply of weapons and equipment." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "In the past, there was good cooperation between my country and Italy. Our government imported a large number of weapons from Italy, and Italy even assisted China in building weapons including A large number of military-industrial enterprises including an aircraft manufacturing plant, but unfortunately the cooperation was suspended due to strong protests from the Japanese government."

Italian weapons are very unique.

For example, the CV33 and 35 ultra-light tanks have thin armor and weak firepower, but they are cheap and have good performance. They are especially suitable for Chinese battlefields that lack anti-tank weapons and have complex terrain.

There are also various weapons such as the Bailu 34 47mm flat-fire cannon, the Breda 35 20mm anti-aircraft gun, CR32 fighter jets, mines and other weapons. They are undoubtedly not cheap and high-quality, but they are very practical.

The air force advisers of the Nationalist Government were mainly Italians. To show his friendship with China, Mussolini also presented a landline plane to the Chairman of the Generalissimo.

In addition, Italy also helped China build the Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. The aircraft factory was built with Italian advance funds, and Italy provided money and technology to produce Breda 25 trainer aircraft, Savoia S-81 twin-engine bombers and other aircraft.

, it was redeemed by China in five years after it was put into production. Italy once stated that the Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant ranked first in the Far East in terms of equipment and scale. However, the Anti-Japanese War broke out just after the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant was put into production, and the aircraft factory was forced to move to Da

rear.

"I can't do it to get the Chinese and Italian governments to cooperate again," Roligani said quickly.

He did not shirk this point.

Sino-Italian cooperation has played a positive role in China's modernized national defense. China not only purchased weapons from Italy, but also learned a lot of Italian experience. For example, there were Italian instructors teaching infant-tank coordination, multi-arms synthesis and other tactics in China, but at that time

China lacks such conditions.

In addition, the two countries have also actively cooperated in economic, trade, political and other fields. The trade volume between the two countries has increased sharply, and their relations have become increasingly close.

Japan is very afraid and dissatisfied with the cooperation between China and Italy. The Japanese government has protested to Italy many times. But Italy turned a deaf ear. In the face of money, Italy's position is still very firm.

However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the alliance between Germany, Japan and Italy, especially after Italy joined the "Anti-German International Agreement" on November 6, 1937, Italy had to stop cooperation with China out of considerations of its own interests.

This ended the close "revolutionary friendship" between China and Italy.

"I know you can't do it." Meng Shaoyuan finally stated his purpose: "But you can secretly help me purchase weapons in Italy and transport them to China. Then, I will be responsible for the sales, funds, and sales channels.

I'll come and you can take 20% of the profit."

Meng Shaoyuan decided to become an arms dealer.

He wants to further develop his smuggling network.

A stable supply channel is essential.

"Ah, so." Roligani thought for a while: "I think I still have some friends who can help me. Of course, this requires a fee."

"I will pay all the expenses." Meng Shaoyuan agreed to him without hesitation: "I will let you take a sum of money with you, and at the same time, I will designate an agent of mine in Italy."

"Then there's no problem." Roligani thought about it and felt that this was a completely feasible business.

As long as they can make money, the vast majority of Italians will not care about their relationship with Japan. Besides, this is a secret business, and it is difficult for the Japanese to know about it.

"There is a second thing." Meng Shaoyuan became serious: "You have to find a way to secretly and safely send the people we sent to Italy to study back to China."

During the Sino-Italian honeymoon period, China sent many personnel to Italy to learn advanced technologies, especially in weapons manufacturing, arsenal construction, etc.

After Italy and Japan formed an alliance, due to pressure from Japan, all these people were detained in Italy and unable to return home.

For Meng Shaoyuan, these people, without exception, are China's most precious wealth!

"This may be difficult." Roligani became hesitant.

"If you find a way, power, and money, there is nothing you can't do. Use your connections in Italy and my money, and you will find a way."

Meng Shaoyuan said solemnly: "Your Excellency, General, I have full expectations for you."
