Chapter 22: The Lion Opens His Mouth
The people in the café left, and the two men who followed Shiga Shinichi stood at the door, always paying attention to Chen Xu's movements, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you could see dozens of men in black suits standing outside, faintly encircling the café.
Chen Xu had to wait for Shiga Shinichi's reply, no matter how long it took to wait at this time, it was not uncommon for negotiations to last dozens of days in history, so he was not in a hurry, and asked the back kitchen to send over a few plates of dried fruits and desserts, and slowly eat them to kill time.
Chen Xu was at ease here, but he didn't know that the list he took out had made the chickens and dogs jump on the Japanese side, especially the technical analysts. The Japanese prime minister soon got the list, and aides explained that the technology on the list could really be realized, and that Japan's conventional submarines would crisscross the Pacific Ocean, and no sonar would be able to detect it.
All the intelligence agencies in Japan acted quickly, using all the internal lines that could be mobilized to collect information related to Chen Xu as quickly as possible.
Japan is a big country that started with intelligence infiltration, and the efficiency of the intelligence department is naturally no joke, and only half an hour later, Chen Xu's personal information has been placed on the desk of the prime minister's official residence.
"Chen Xu, his grandfather Chen Hu is a military veteran and a typical middle-class family. At the age of 16, he went to the Soviet Union to study as a government student, and stayed in Moscow for five years until he returned to China in June this year. According to the latest information, three days ago, the Soviet Union's intelligence network in China was uprooted, and as many as 5,000 people were implicated and arrested, and the pro-Soviet faction in China was almost wiped out. It is very likely that Chen Xu was the direct planner of this operation, and his father flew to Beijing on a special plane of the Air Force on the night of his return, and has been under the supervision of the Beijing Military Intelligence Bureau since then, which is the most obvious evidence. ”
Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda lay on the leather sofa with his eyes closed, quietly listening to the staff report to him about Chen Xu.
"In this way, on the first day of his return to China, he destroyed the Soviet intelligence network in China, and his five years of studying abroad did not make him have even the slightest affection for the Soviet Union, what a ruthless young man!" Takeo Fukuda stood up with difficulty, the busy official business made this seventy-year-old man age rapidly, in front of the public he was in good spirits so that the people were full of trust in him, but as soon as he left the realization of the public, he would immediately reveal his true form, into a hunched old man.
"Judging by the evidence now, it is!" The young subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to hold the old man's arm, and continued: "Perhaps in his eyes, the country is the most important, and no matter how much kindness the Soviets have, they can be lightly discarded in the face of national interests." ”
"Now what should we do, can the fact that this young man has in his hands the blueprints of the design of Soviet submarines be confirmed? Whether his action was intended by Beijing or planned by the military alone. With the Chinese head of state coming to visit in five days, I have to get as much information as I can to determine whether this is a probe on the part of Beijing or a conspiracy by the anti-Japanese faction in China. Takeo Fukuda walked slowly to the huge desk, picked up the text that recorded Chen Xu's information, and looked at it casually.
Even he did not dare to make any kind of deal with Chen Xu without even knowing it, fearing that his current decision would affect the most important diplomatic activity in Japan's history five days later.
If Chen Xu has a longer memory, he should not forget that October 22, 1978 was an important day for President Deng's visit to Japan. As the victorious power, China has never signed an armistice agreement with Japan, and the agreement signed between Japan and Lao Chiang in Taiwan does not count at all, and China and Japan are still in a state of war, and if this de jure issue is not resolved in a nutshell, it will affect the future economic ties and government-to-government exchanges between the two countries.
For Mr. Deng, black cats and white cats are good cats, whether it is Japanese businessmen, Taiwanese businessmen, or even businessmen from European and American countries, as long as they can invest in China, it is a good thing. As for the opposition and prejudice on the political zhì can be put aside temporarily, this kind of open-minded and confident attitude, Mr. Deng's eloquence and strategy is exactly the bearing of the Ming monarchs of the past dynasties.
In order to dispel the last concerns of Japan, a wealthy man, Mr. Deng personally arrived in Japan to sign the "Sino-Japanese Friendship and Peace" treaty, ending the hostility between China and Japan and solving this historical problem, and then returned to China to convene the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee in November, officially starting the great cause of reform and opening up. Immediately after that, he went to the United States for a business visit and signed a scientific and technological cooperation and cultural agreement with President Carter, which eliminated Americans' investment concerns.
However, Chen Xu wanted to die or not, but he carried out his plan to pit the Japanese five days before President Deng's visit to Japan, so that the Japanese cabinet could not grasp the real thoughts of the Chinese government at all.
This is dark under the light, if Chen Xu thinks about it, he will definitely run back to China to hide at home as soon as possible. At this juncture, engaging in such a shady deal with Japan is very easy to escalate to the political level, and if it destroys Mr. Deng's founding plan, his grandfather will not be able to cover him.
Many things in history are pieced together by coincidence. Soon Japanese intelligence learned an important piece of information:
During the war of aggression against China, a Japanese logistics soldier was captured by the Eighth Route Army, because this person knew how to repair artillery, and was sent to the rear of the **** to be reformed by the political commissar. After being brainwashed, this Japanese officer became a Japanese eight-way, stayed in Chen Hu's arsenal to cooperate in the development of weapons in order to atone for his crimes, and returned to China after the war and became an important supporter of the pro-China faction of the Japanese cabinet.
This information is so important to the Japanese intelligence department that even Takeo Fukuda did not expect that there was a Japanese government official who had direct contact with Chen Xu under his nose, and that Japanese Yalu happened to work at the Prime Minister's Office.
This Japanese Eighth Route was a sixteen-year-old young fitter repairing artillery, and his cultural skills were not high, he was basically a child, and he was brainwashed by the political commissar of the Eighth Route Army after being captured on the Chinese battlefield. Staying by Chen Hu's side during the war did not forget to learn cultural knowledge, being a prisoner was similar to going to university, and after returning to China after the war, he became a member of parliament because of his cultural process, until he became a cabinet member.
As soon as he heard that Chen Hu's grandson had actually come to Japan, he also carried important military intelligence with the intention of exchanging benefits with Japan.
Of course, this goods helped Chen Xu speak one-sidedly, and the hesitant Takeo Fukuda finally made a decision to trade with Chen Xu under the persuasion of this person.
Chen Hu never thought that a small Japanese soldier he had pitted back then would become Chen Xu's big helper after a few decades!
At the same time, it also proves that the pit day is the family tradition of the Chen family, and the Japanese are not aware of it at all, and they help count the money when they are sold.
Chen Xu didn't know anything about it, his plan walked around the edge of the cliff, and he was back on track dangerously.
"Mr. Chen has kept you waiting!" At some point, Shiga Shinichi returned to the café.
Chen Xu waited until the middle of the night, and he couldn't stay asleep in boredom, so he fell asleep on the sofa chair in his clothes. was woken up by Shiga Shinichi, Chen Xu was not angry and went to the bathroom to wash his face first, and then returned to his seat and took a posture of negotiation.
I was instructed by the Prime Minister's Office and the Mitsubishi Foundation to win the deal no matter what the cost. With the affirmation of his superiors and the right in his hands, Shiga Shinichi was determined to win this transaction, so he took the lead in speaking: "I wonder how Mr. Chen is going to trade with us?" In particular, does the Chinese side send professionals to teach these submarine technologies, or does our side send people to China to learn the technology? ”
"I can come up with ready-made design drawings of the submarine technology on the list, and I believe that with your scientific research strength, there is no problem with the above technology." Chen Xu was secretly happy in his heart, the Japanese side should have negotiated and decided to carry out this transaction. However, he still looked unmoved, and responded indifferently.
"According to your list, there are a total of 39 technologies related to submarines, and we have decided to acquire all of them. I don't know how much Mr. Chen intends to bid? Shiga Shinichi was not in a hurry, took out a box of cigarettes and handed one to Chen Xu first, then put one in his mouth, and finally took out the lighter to light Chen Xu, and at the same time lit a fire for himself.
Chen Xu took a deep breath of smoke, and only after half a sound did he squirt out two bundles of smoke from his nose, licked his lips and said, "Since the Japanese side has covered the entire list, I will give you a preferential price!" ”
"Thank you very much, as long as the price is reasonable, we can accept it to the greatest extent." Everyone carried the sedan chair, Chen Xu was polite, and Shiga Shinichi was naturally happy to sell favors.
"Japan needs to establish three complete sets of NC metal cutting machine tool production lines for China, including lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, milling machines, CNC special machines, CNC machining centers and EDM machines, as well as supporting research and development technology, to help us train professional CNC machine tool operators. At the same time, the Japanese side needs to give China 300 sets of finished machine tools within three years, and each machine tool needs 300 sets!
Japan needs to build a comprehensive chemical center for China, including plastic processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, synthetic ammonia, pesticides and fertilizers, daily chemical processing, etc., in short, all the chemical technologies you have in Japan, we in China need all.
The most important thing is that Japan should help China build a university that is inclined to chemical research, and send 300 professors from chemical engineering universities to teach, and at the same time accept 30,000 Chinese students a year in the next ten years. ”
Shiga Shinichi felt that his chin was not his own, his eyes were round, and he didn't know how to answer Chen Xu's question, this was no longer a lion's mouth, this was simply a frenzied whale swallowing the sea.
In the end, Chen Xu shook his head and continued: "Japan still needs to build home appliance production lines in China, including color TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines, and the number will be five!" ”
