The place where Lin Shi entertained guests was near the Qinhuai River, an elegant and high-end restaurant.
Chu Yuan led people to check the room, and then stood guard outside the door.
Lin Shi arrived early and was waiting inside, with fine wine on the table.
He was able to make so much money only because of Chu Lingyun's help. It would be unreasonable to go to ordinary places to eat. A meal here, wine and food together would cost at least a dozen yuan.
"This Fenjiu is quite old."
After sitting down, Chu Lingyun took the initiative to open the bottle of wine. The aroma of the wine overflowed. Just by smelling the aroma, he knew that the wine was good and that it was fine wine.
"I don't know much about wine, as long as it tastes good."
Lin Shi smiled. Chu Lingyun took the initiative to pour the wine. He had no airs in front of Lin Shi. Lin Shi was his only friend in Nanjing.
The remaining people are either subordinates or get along with each other for a purpose.
"Here, cheers."
Chu Lingyun raised his glass, and Lin Shi immediately picked up the glass in front of him and drank it first.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the two of them were a little tipsy.
"Ling Yun, I'm grateful to you for what I have now."
Lin Shi took the initiative to raise a toast. Now he is the unit chief and has the trust of his superiors. His military rank has been promoted. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he can continue to be promoted.
Without Chu Lingyun giving him so much sulfa, he would indeed not be where he is now.
This thank you was indeed sincere. He really thanked Chu Lingyun.
"Brothers, please don't be polite."
Chu Lingyun picked up the cup and went on a patrol some time ago. He experienced a lot of intrigues and battles of wits and courage with those old foxes.
Although the result was not bad, Chu Lingyun was still very tired.
It was only with Lin Shi that I could rarely relax.
During the whole banquet, Lin Shi didn't ask anything, except to say thank you and tell some interesting stories from the past.
But Chu Lingyun felt keenly that Lin Shi had undergone great changes.
Although, like before, what he said was not important, when Lin Shi spoke, he obviously went through his head and didn't say everything.
Lin Shi before had the courage to say anything.
Especially when I was in school, in the words of later generations, the whole
He was an angry young man, but he was not much better at that time. The two of them even made an agreement to see who would be the first to become a general in the future.
Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. At that time, their biggest dream was probably to become a general.
Now that Chu Lingyun is a lieutenant colonel, he is very close to his dream of being a general.
However, since he was in the Military Intelligence Department, it was almost impossible for him to become a leading general.
Lin Shi still has a chance. Although he has not led troops, he works in the Department of National Defense. If there is a war, he may not have the opportunity to lead troops.
"Ling Yun, when will you be promoted to colonel?"
Lin Shi suddenly asked, while Chu Lingyun raised his head, shook his head and said: "I am too young, and my seniority is my biggest shortcoming. There is basically no possibility of being promoted to colonel in the short term."
In the Military Intelligence Department, promotion is easy in the early stage, but the shortcomings are also obvious, and it is very slow in the later stage.
"Qualifications can be gained slowly. With your ability, you will definitely become a general earlier than me."
Lin Shi said, Chu Lingyun glanced at him and raised his glass again: "Cheers to our previous dreams."
Something is wrong with Lin Shi. His self-confidence has improved a lot than before. In the past, he would not have said this. At most, he would be envious of him for becoming a general, and he would have to go a long way to complain about himself.
What made his confidence increase so quickly? Money?
There are certain reasons, but Lin Shi himself knows that money is only an aid. If you want to become a general, ability and connections are indispensable. These two points are equally important.
Lin Shi wasn't that confident before. What made him suddenly change?
"Cheers, I wish you success as soon as possible. I will work hard, but whether I can succeed or not depends on God's arrangements."
Lin Shi raised his cup, and as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the flaw in his words.
After receiving the training, his self-confidence has indeed improved a lot, and his abilities have also improved significantly, but these words are a bit abrupt when he says them as a lieutenant.
Lin Shi made immediate remedial action, but he didn't know that in Chu Lingyun's eyes, his remediation was just a cover-up.
After eight days of study, Lin Shi indeed made rapid progress.
But theory and practice are different. If he really wants to grow into an ace agent, he needs more effort and more practice.
Chu Lingyun was different from him. He had solved so many cases, and with his own acumen, every word he said could be captured by Chu Lingyun.
After the banquet was over, Chu Lingyun sent Lin Shi home.
The gift is a new home. The house is nice. Coming here today can be regarded as acknowledging the door. At least I know where Lin Shi lives.
Lin Shi, who was lying drunkenly on the bed, suddenly stood up.
Originally, he wanted to test today to see if Chu Lingyun helped him burn out the fuse.
But after drinking, he gave up the idea.
Chu Lingyun's ability is much stronger than him, and random testing will make him doubt himself. If Chu Lingyun hadn't done it, he would be in danger.
Now the organization relies on him for all its sulfonamide supply. Without him, the organization would not be able to obtain the supply. Even if it could be purchased, it would be a high-priced supply like what they sold.
This supply channel is very important and there cannot be any mistakes.
After carefully recalling the process of getting along with Chu Lingyun, he didn't say anything wrong except that he was a little anxious when talking about the general.
He immediately made up for that sentence afterwards, and Chu Lingyun probably wouldn't find out.
Chu Yuan drove, and Chu Lingyun sat in the back seat with his eyes closed and meditative. He drank a lot today, but his head was sober. He was currently engaged in intelligence work, and he would never let himself get really drunk at any time.
What's more, he holds so many secrets.
Something is wrong with Lin Shi. Chu Lingyun knows him well enough. What has he experienced during this time?
First of all, it must be a good thing. If it is a bad thing, Lin Shi will only be depressed instead of being as energetic as he is now.
Lin Shi is a member of the Red Party. What happened within the Red Party?
Chu Lingyun did not speculate in detail, but got to the bottom of it. It was good that Lin Shi had changed. The work behind enemy lines was too cruel and very dangerous. With his previous temperament, it was only a matter of time before something happened.
Lin Shi is indeed much stronger now than before.
Realizing that he had said something wrong and immediately making amends, Lin Shi would never have been able to do this before.
Shanghai, super high school.
"Section Chief, all four teams have sneaked into Nanjing, but they need to lurk temporarily and cannot gather information immediately."
Hasegawa stood in front of Mitsui Amu and reported softly.
Hasegawa is Mitsui Amu's confidant who was transferred from Tohoku. He takes over as the head of the intelligence team. The intelligence team is the most important. Mitsui Amu cannot feel at ease if he is not one of his own.
After taking office, Hasegawa immediately conducted an internal investigation of the Super High School, and selected some experienced agents to form a new intelligence team and re-enter Nanjing.
He planned this matter secretly and handled it alone. Except for reporting it to Mitsui Amu, he did not tell anyone else.
Mitsui Amu did not trust the original old people, so most of the people Hasegawa chose were people who had been lurking before, such as people who had been evacuated from Suzhou and other places.
By changing their identities and names, they can break into Nanjing again.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work, Hase-kun."
Mitsui Amu nodded slightly. It was the responsibility of the previous section chief, Kitagawa Naru, to wipe out the lurkers in Nanjing. He took over the mess. As an intelligence department, they must find ways to find useful information.
Without results, nothing can be said.
After replacing the intelligence team leader, Mitsui Amu asked Hasegawa to do his best. After this period of hard work, four intelligence teams were sent to Nanjing one after another.
Although it is not as good as the previous dozen intelligence teams who were there at the same time, at least there is a start.
There has been progress.
"Section Chief, this is my mole development plan. I plan to make all four intelligence groups into mole groups."
Hasegawa handed over another document.
The four members of the intelligence team have no problem lurking in Nanjing, but because they have no foundation, it is difficult to actively detect intelligence and it takes a long time to operate.
But the rebellion mole is different. With the mole, as long as they are responsible for communication, they can continuously obtain all kinds of useful information.
The exploration team needs to be rebuilt, but the time is too slow, and it is not as fast as the achievement of directly instigating the Mole's rebellion.
Mitsui Amu took the plan and looked through it carefully. His expression did not change, but his head hurt a little.
Hasegawa is determined to achieve results, and his attitude deserves recognition, but his plan consumes a bit too much money.
According to his plan, if he wants to instigate rebellion, he should instigate those who have access to important information. Such people have identity and status. A small amount of money cannot seduce them. They must spend hard money.
Chinese people are greedy and have a persistent desire for money.
Spending more money will allow them to serve the empire. There are some specific goals in the plan, and it can be seen that Hasegawa has really put his heart into it, but the money to be sent for these goals together is an astronomical figure.
This is just the early stage of bribery. They will also have to pay them a lot of rewards for obtaining information later.
If there is no benefit, who will take the initiative to provide them with information? "I can understand your mood. Write a new plan. We don't have enough financial resources to support your plan."
Mitsui Amu could not provide that much funds and could only shake his head.
"Section Chief, we can get more useful information from them."
Hasegawa hurriedly advised that it took him a long time to select representatives from the previous files, not to mention all of them to instigate rebellion, if they could successfully instigate one third of them, their results would be better than before.
"I know, but the intelligence work cannot be rushed. Let's replace it with someone else."
Mitsui Amu's eyes flashed. He also knew that these people were very suitable, but why did Kitagawa Naru investigate them before but didn't instigate rebellion?
The reason is very simple. If there is no money, who among the people here can’t get ten or twenty gold bars? With so many people, even selling the Shanghai Extra High School is not enough.
As for applying for funds, it is even more impossible.
They are not the only ones in the intelligence department. They are very strict. If you ask for more, others will ask for more. The Ministry of War will not support their behavior of spending money to bribe unless it is a particularly important person.
But they are not responsible for people like that. The chief section chief and others will take care of it themselves.
"Hai."
After being glared at by Mitsui Amu, Hasegawa did not dare to persist anymore. He could only take back the plan and go back to find suitable personnel to instigate rebellion.
Although the goal was not fully achieved, at least the section chief agreed to set up all four groups as mole groups.
- Kaitian Talisman
His mole team will adopt a completely different layout from that of Kitagawa Naru's era.
Hasegawa studied Kitagawa's failure and thought that he was so stupid that he even used remittances to send money to the mole.
Although a layer of insurance is provided at the post office, the more remittances involved, the more traces will be left.
In the end, the cunning Chinese used the remittance method to find his mole, and the mole team was completely destroyed.
Moreover, in Hasegawa's eyes, collecting information at a fixed time is not advisable.
Once the time is fixed, there will be a pattern. They have no contact with the mole, but once the mole is targeted, the Chinese can find the person who obtained the information through the dead mailbox, and then find more intelligence agents.
In short, he will change everything so that the Chinese can't be traced to obtain more intelligence.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of January of 1937. This winter was very cold, and it snowed heavily in many places. The New Year's Eve was getting closer and closer, and the work of various departments was relaxed a lot.
At the train station, Chu Lingyun was wearing a thick military coat and waiting for someone on the platform.
After Wang Yuemin got off the car, Chu Lingyun immediately greeted him.
"teacher."
"Ling Yun, you don't have to come to pick me up."
Wang Yuemin said there was no need to answer, but his face was filled with joy. Chu Lingyun's current status was not inferior to him at all. His level and position were not as good as his, but they were similar.
Chu Lingyun could come to pick him up in person, and he was on the platform, which greatly satisfied Wang Yuemin's vanity.
"When the teacher comes to Nanjing, I will definitely come to pick him up."
Chu Lingyun smiled and took Wang Yuemin into the car. Wang Jialiang followed behind and could only look at Chu Lingyun with envy and jealousy.
Chu Lingyun, who used to be polite and proactive in greeting him, now has completely surpassed him in status, much higher than him.
"Lingyun, do you still have sulfa?"
After getting in the car, Wang Yuemin immediately asked. The sulfonamide business made him a lot of money, but the supply of goods was always insufficient. Even Wang Yuemin often couldn't get the goods.
"I'll find a way to give you another $10,000 in goods."
Chu Lingyun had no choice but to respond first. The second batch of sulfonamides had arrived, and the third batch could be sent to Shanghai before the year. Smith kept urging pharmaceutical companies in the United States to produce more goods. They were in urgent need. The impatient Smith even
I went to inspect pharmaceutical factories and wanted to build my own factory for production.
The production line is not difficult, but he can't get the formula, let alone the patent.
The pharmaceutical company was willing to sell the formula and patent rights, but the price offered was too high, a full two million U.S. dollars. This price scared Smith away.
Now, because they are provided with a large supply of supplies, the price of sulfonamides in the United States has increased again, and the supply is still in short supply. The pharmaceutical company has added a lot of production lines for Lilan and promised to provide more sulfonamides next year.
Unable to obtain the source of goods, Smith looked at other goods, as long as he could make money. Even if he did not have an exclusive monopoly, he could still earn several times the profit by shipping many goods to China.
