Jiang Cheng shook his head to calm himself down. Yesterday, when he returned to modern times, he couldn't help but go crazy with Yu Na and Sun Ning. Now he felt a little weak. He opened the door of the warehouse. The guard guarding the door was already used to it.
Jiang Cheng saluted, Jiang Cheng nodded and walked out.
Chen Nan, who had been waiting for a long time, came over and said, "Master, you are here. The things you requested in the telegram are ready and can be shipped at any time."
Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "This matter is not urgent. I am going to stay here for two days. Please tell me first, what is the military technology exchange between Germany and Japan?"
Chen Nan sighed, asked Jiang Cheng to sit down, asked his servants to prepare tea, and said, "Boss, I have already asked those who are close to us about this matter, and I have basically figured it out. Germany and Britain and France
After the declaration of war, there was no actual exchange of fire between the two sides. Germany was not afraid of the British and French coalition forces in terms of its army and air force, but there was still a big gap in its navy."
"So Hitler decided to unite with Japan? He thought the Japanese could sail his combined fleet all the way to the Atlantic Ocean?" Jiang Cheng snorted.
Chen Nan said with a wry smile, "The Japanese are not stupid. They also know how powerful the British and French naval forces are. They only promise to contain the British and French fleets in Asia... However, many people in Germany think that they are not
will do so.”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Of course not, why would you do this? The reduction of Britain and France's power in Asia will give Japan an opportunity to take advantage of it. Hitler should also know this. Japan is trying to contain the Soviet Union in terms of the army of Germany.
In the navy, its symbolic significance is far greater than its practical significance."
Chen Nan said with admiration, "My boss is right. So Germany and Japan have not formed an alliance until now. They only exchange military technology with each other. Japan provides German naval technology, and Germany provides Japanese army and air force technology. But as far as I know, the Germans
It already feels a bit unworthy. In the eyes of the Germans, the most valuable Japanese naval technology is probably the aircraft carrier. However, there are still quarrels over the construction of German aircraft carriers. But for Japan, all German military technology
It’s all worth learning from, whether it’s airplanes, tanks or artillery.”
Jiang Cheng touched his chin, tugged on his beard and said, "In this case, the Japs' weapons will probably be upgraded soon, but they don't have many resources, so they shouldn't be able to equip them in large quantities so quickly... At least the Army
That's true, but there should be a lot of changes in the air force... How is Dönitz's submarine?"
Chen Nan replied, "Very good, it is developing very fast, but he had a big quarrel with other naval generals. The other naval generals asked him to stop building submarines and instead build battleships and cruisers."
Battleship."
Jiang Cheng chuckled, without commenting, and asked, "What about other situations? Britain, France and the Soviet Union."
Chen Nan took out his little notebook and said, "During this period, Britain and France began to recruit a large number of troops, especially France. The troops have doubled, and the Czech Division and the Polish Division have been established. It is obvious that they want to use them as cannon fodder.
But what’s interesting is that the French military is now very anti-war and they all say they don’t want to fight.”
Jiang Cheng asked in confusion, "Why is this? There is a feud between Germany and France."
Chen Nan said, "They feel that it is unnecessary to use their lives to protect a subjugated country. In fact, the casualties in World War I were so great that the French were unwilling to face such casualties again. On the contrary, the British were full of fighting spirit."
, they all believe that Britain has been deceived by Germany and want to teach Germany a lesson."
Jiang Cheng understood and said, "Don't we have an old saying that a biting dog never barks? France is usually tough, which just shows that it is unwilling to really go to war. Their troops should still be guarding the Maginot Line, right? I
I dare say that as long as the Germans don't attack, they can defend it for the rest of their lives."
Chen Nan laughed and said, "The British and French forces have now announced that they have one hundred divisions, and they are still increasing. In fact, from the book, there is not much difference between the two sides, but one side chooses to defend before fighting, while this side still takes the initiative
The party declaring war, I think it’s ridiculous sometimes when I think about it.”
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "It seems there will be no changes in the near future. What about the Soviet Union?"
Chen Nan continued, "The Soviet Union is continuing to increase trade with Germany. In addition, the intelligence we deliberately leaked has had an effect. The Soviet Union has once again begun a purge. It is said that the main targets this time are the border guards and scientists.
Even Zhukov has been locked up for investigation, but Stalin seems to trust Zhukov, so he is still alive."
"What about the other people?" Jiang Cheng asked in a low voice.
Chen Nan glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, "Kurchatov, Sakharov and half of the people on our list should have been arrested. The Soviet Union's censorship is very powerful, and our people have no way to know more.
I can understand a few fragments from newspapers and some public information."
Chen Nan expressed that he was ashamed, but Jiang Cheng understood very well that the Iron Curtain of the Soviet Union had fallen long ago, and I am afraid that even the Western powers may not necessarily know how much.
Jiang Cheng stood up and said to Chen Nan, "Okay, I understand the situation in Europe. Let's go, take me to see the goods we are going to transport this time..."
——Shaoguan Nanhua Temple
Nanhua Temple is located on the bank of Cao River, 7 kilometers southeast of Maba Town, more than 20 kilometers away from Shaoguan. It is a famous temple famous all over the world. At this time, Li Qian and Jin Shan were waiting with a group of guards in Nanhua Temple. As early as a few days ago,
A few days ago, Jiang Cheng asked them to secretly come south here to wait for news about him.
"Two donors, you can enjoy your meal." Monk Xuyun, the abbot of Nanhua Temple, came out and said.
Jinshan took out the compressed biscuits from his arms and said, "No, we brought our own dry food, but it disturbed the master and made us unable to open the temple to receive guests in the past few days."
Monk Xuyun said cheerfully, "At this time, the foreign tribes invaded and the war was chaotic. We outsiders could only chant sutras properly. Since the alien tribes entered Guangzhou, all the monks nearby have defected to our Nanhua Temple. I am still having a headache from my Nanhua temple."
There are not enough houses, but thanks to your donations, the poor monk can continue to expand Nanhua."
Of course, there are conditions for using Nanhua Temple as a warehouse. Jiang Cheng came to Shaoguan in advance and chose this place before going to Chongqing. Shaoguan has a complicated geography. Nanhua Temple is backed by mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Most of the people here are monks.
The strict discipline under the discipline of Monk Xuyun is a rare good place. Of course, Jiang Cheng donated 300,000 yuan for this charity at once, which made Monk Xuyun, who was already a hundred years old, happily recite several good words.
So good.
At this time, Xu Yun and others suddenly heard movement in the sealed courtyard. Jinshan and Li Qian looked at each other, and Li Qian said to Xu Yun, "Master, we have something to do, and we ask for your convenience."
Xuyun understood that he should not be here anymore, nodded and walked out. Jinshan knocked on the closed door. Jiang Cheng opened the door and walked out. Jinshan and others left and saluted and said, "Hello, boss!"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said to Jinshan, "Are the personnel and vehicles ready?"
Jinshan immediately replied, "Report to the boss, everything is ready. All the transport personnel are our people and Qinggang brothers, working in pairs, and the vehicles are all replaced with our rubber tires. We can't get too many horses."
, we didn’t dare to attract too much attention, so we didn’t go shopping heavily. Fortunately, there were many good names near the Huanan Temple, so we asked Xu Yun to borrow a lot of cattle, which was fine.
Once used, the speed will be much slower."
Jiang Cheng led the two of them into the compound and said, "There are a lot of things this time, but I have asked them to pack them. Come in and see if you can transport them all at once."
The two walked in and saw only boxes piled high like a mountain. Li Qian estimated and said, "It should be OK. There are many gangs in Guangdong, and the orders of Boss Du and others are also very useful here. We can
We have gathered a lot of people, including our own people, there are five to six hundred available."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng said with confidence, "Even if there are not enough people, when I fall in Shaoguan, I can directly send out the garrison there to help with transportation, so don't be afraid, then don't wait and start!"
——Guangzhou Pier
A man dressed as a scholar slowly put down his tea cup and looked at the flow of people and vehicles coming in and out of the pier. He couldn't help but doubt the accuracy of his intelligence. Is it really possible that a large number of weapons were transported from here to Shaoguan?
I don’t know where Boss Dai got the news from. Thinking about it, it seems unlikely.
The scholar looked at the sky getting dark and knew that he would be suspected if he continued to stay here. He could only say in a voice that was neither high nor low but could be heard by others, "Hey! He didn't come again, and he didn't say anything in the telegram.
Be clear...my brother is really..." After saying that, he left with a look of regret.
The scholar walked all the way back, observing the surroundings from time to time in the name of buying things or reading newspapers. After making sure that no one was following him, he carefully came to a restaurant and entered a room under the leadership of the waiter.
The room was already full of people, and a dozen or so people relaxed when they saw it was him.
"How's it going? What's going on here?" asked the middle-aged man sitting at the top.
"No...it's been a week. I wonder if the thing didn't leave from us at all? Or has it already left?" The scholar also said with a depressed look.
"Impossible! We are keeping an eye on all the roads in Guangzhou. Unless they are really sending them out in the name of Japanese military supplies, we will not know about it." The leader shook his head and said, knocking on the table.
This matter was personally ordered by Boss Dai, and we attach great importance to it from top to bottom. If so many supplies are transported out without knowing anything, our Guangzhou Station will never want to lose face again!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the man continued, "Okay, continue to send more manpower and keep an eye on all possible places! There must be no accidents!"
--Nanjing
Toushan Geming took Luo Junqiang into the original National Government Building, which is now used by the Japanese army and the puppet government. Luo Junqiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he looked at the familiar plants and trees.
Toushan Geming walked to a room, nodded to the guard and said, "Please inform me that Toushan Geming is here with Mr. Luo."
The guard saluted, walked into the room, and soon waved to Toushan Geming and said, "Come in."
Toushan Geming walked into the room with Luo Junqiang. He only saw a Japanese general reading a book in the room. When he saw the two people coming in, the Japanese general immediately put down the book and said, "Haha, you are finally here. I am waiting."
It's been a long time, Mr. Luo! Why are you here so late! I've heard of your name from Mr. Zhou a long time ago!"
Toyama Kakuaki introduced, "This is General Itagaki Seishiro, Chief of Staff of our Empire of Japan's China Expedition Force!"
Luo Junqiang was flattered and immediately took the hand that came up to him and said, "I'm confused. I realized it through Mr. Toushan's words. It's too late. In fact, I have always agreed with Mr. Wang's proposition. China and Japan are separated by a narrow strip of water. As long as we can
Sit down, what can't we talk about?"
Itagaki Seishiro nodded in agreement, sat down and said, "It's good that you're here. You are someone close to Jiang Jie. I wonder whether you hope to join politics or the army in the future?"
Luo Junqiang immediately said, "I still hope to do something for the people."
Itagaki Seishiro hummed and asked, "By the way, I want to know, what is Jiang's agent's attitude towards us now?"
Luo Junqiang knew that this was the time to reflect his own value, and he immediately said thoughtfully, "Chiang's intermediary political forces are actually centered on the military, especially his Huangpu clique and the Central Army, which are basically completely loyal to him personally, so
It was difficult for him to put down his arms, but he was actually shaken, especially in the period after the Battle of Wuhan. If the Northern Red Party had not won several battles, he might have come to sue for peace." Luo Junqiang said.
Then he said with some uncertainty, "I don't know about Mr. Jiang Zhongjie's secret peace talks with us. Are you serious?"
Itagaki Seishiro glanced at Toyamakaku Ming, smiled and said, "In this war, you have to have some legs to walk, it's not strange."
Luo Junqiang said clearly, "It's like this. I know Agent Jiang very well. What he is best at is sitting on the fence. In the past, when the Reds and Whites cooperated, he was the most famous pro-Red faction. But in fact? He secretly kept fighting with the anti-Reds."
At the end of April 12th, he immediately turned around and became the most powerful person against the Red and Rebellion forces! Now I think he just hopes to use negotiations to buy himself time!"
Itagaki Seishiro nodded and asked, "Then when do you think he will negotiate with us in good faith?"
Luo Junqiang thought for a while and said, "I think the most important thing is to let the Jiang intermediary see the threat of the Red Party, and the other thing is to understand the bottom line of the Chiang intermediary."
Itagaki Seishiro asked, "What do you think his bottom line is?"
Luo Junqiang hesitated and said, "The July 7th Incident..."
Itagaki Seishiro sighed and said, "Okay, you have worked hard all the way, go prepare for the reception banquet."
At this time, Toushan Komei said, "General Itagaki, there is one more thing. Mr. Luo gave us important information. The person who bombed our Shanghai headquarters in 1937 has been found."
Itagaki Seishiro shouted, "Found it? Who is it?"
Toushan Geming said firmly, "It's the current major general of the National Army and the big businessman Jiang Cheng!"
