51. Wiretapping
Han Jiang's refusal to hand over the person completely annoyed the British. Originally, Han Jiang relied on his good relations with the British and applied for a lot of technical assistance from the British. Of course, this technical assistance lags behind Britain's own technology, but in China, it is enough to put Han Jiang ahead of the Bai and Zhang families. Now, the enraged British withdrew all their aid and declared that they would not export any more weapons to Han Jiang in the future.
Han Jiang really felt a headache at this time, and he realized that because of this incident, he had completely lost the favor of the British.
It's hard to build a good impression of yourself, but it's so easy to drain it.
Without the support of the British, many of the projects that were underway would have been immediately bottlenecked. No matter how powerful that foreign engineer is, he only specializes in one aspect in the end, and it is impossible to help Han Jiang fill all the gaps.
Han Jiang once again felt the resentment and helplessness of being held in his hands by others.
No, he can't get into trouble with the British yet, at least not now!
Han Jiang began to try to redeem this qiΔ.
In the past few days, under his coercion and temptation, the foreign engineer has already handed over a lot of technology, and Han Jiang also felt that it was enough, so he asked someone to sort out the technical data, carefully preserve it, and then send someone to invite the foreign engineer to prepare to return him to the British side, so as to ease his relationship with the British.
When he was pushed to get into the car, the foreign engineer's expression was still a little confused, and when he found that the car finally stopped in front of the British Embassy, he immediately knew what was happening! He roared angrily at Han Jiang, accusing him of not keeping his word, deceiving and framing him.
Han Jiang also stayed in the ocean when he was young, and his English is good, so he can naturally understand it, but he gave full play to his cheekiness at this time, looked ahead without squinting, and pretended to be ignorant of the accusations of the foreign engineer.
Han Jiang straightened his tie, and saw that the people at the embassy did not entertain him as before, but turned a blind eye to his arrival, and felt a little annoyed in his heart. However, he quickly suppressed his annoyance, smiled and showed his ID to the guard behind the door, and walked into the embassy. Behind him, followed by two bodyguards who pressed the foreign engineer.
The ambassador to China, Mr. Smith, came out, a middle-aged man with brown-yellow hair and a somewhat bald head. This is a slick and sociable diplomat, but after so many years in China, he has become more and more impatient and short-tempered.
At this time, he was looking at Han Jiang with displeasure on his face, and said in a cold tone, "You disturbed my lunch break, sir." β
He spoke English. Although Han Jiang also understands English, he still brought a translator. At this time, the translator's expression was a little embarrassed, and he paused before conveying Smith's meaning to Han Jiang.
Han Jiang's pupils shrank slightly, and then he said to Smith casually: "That's really sorry, but I came this time and I have something important to tell Mr. SΓΉ Smith." Maybe you'll forgive me for my faux pas? β
Han Jiang clapped his hands and let the two bodyguards behind him take the foreign engineer in front of Mr. Smith.
In fact, from the moment Han Jiang and the others entered the door, Smith noticed the existence of the foreign engineer, and he deliberately ignored these, not wanting to embarrass Han Jiang, who knows, Han Jiang actually held back.
"You should have done it a long time ago, sir." Smith nodded reservedly at Han Jiang, his tone still cold.
"I'm sorry, sir. Because this James has done something illegal in my territory, I must punish him before I can return him to you. Han Jiang had some apologies on his face. In Mr. Smith's eyes, he felt more and more that his acting skills were excellent and his scheming was deep.
As a seasoned diplomat, it was naturally impossible for him to be deceived by Han Jiang's words. Han Jiang deliberately detained the purpose of the foreign engineer, and they both knew each other. Unexpectedly, Han Jiang was able to show such sincerity in front of him today, almost with a fake and real side. In Smith's heart, he has increased his vigilance against Han Jiang, and he has begun to consider reporting to his country, Han Jiang is not credible and needs to be guarded more.
At this time, the foreign engineer who was detained by Han Jiang, that is, James, may have known that he was in a catastrophe, so he simply broke the jar and broke it. He glared at Han Jiang with hatred and said to Smith, "Honorable sir, you must not be deceived by this person!" He promised to protect me, but after getting the technology from me, he betrayed me for profit in the blink of an eye! He can betray me today, and tomorrow he can betray you for the greater good, and betray Great Britain! I am a sinner, but I also love my country! I am willing to accept the punishment for the sins I have committed, and I only ask you not to be deceived by this man into making decisions that are detrimental to the interests of Great Britain! β
James completely looked like he was going to pull Han Jiang into the water.
Han Jiang listened to his words, and his eyes sank: "Because I want to maintain friendship with your country, I will come here today." I didn't expect to hear this person's gibberish. Mr. Smith, we should get rid of anything that would hinder our friendship, right? β
Who knows, Smith just frowned and glanced at him when he heard these words, and then turned to James, the foreign engineer: "How much technology did you teach him?" β
"All!" There was a hint of madness in James' eyes: "I'll take what I'm going to ...... Sue him all! I have no use for him anymore, that's why he betrayed me! β
"You are a fool of your word, what you taught us is obviously only ......" Han Jiang couldn't help but retort.
"That's enough, sir." Smith's expression was a little gloomy: "This is not a court, you are not prisoners waiting for trial, and I am not a judge!" That's all for today. I will truthfully return a qiΔ to my country, and leave it to the adults above to judge. β
Smith waved his hand, and immediately someone came up and took James away. He glanced at Han Jiang: "Mr. Han, I'll give you a word from your Huaguo - do it yourself." The tone of his speech was still a little awkward, but the meaning conveyed was very clear.
Han Jiang and his entourage were almost half-driven out of the British Embassy.
Looking at the closed door of the British Embassy, Han Jiang's face was very ugly. He knew that after this incident, he had completely lost the trust of the British side. sent the foreign engineer, but the results were far from expectations, which made Han Jiang very angry.
Originally, he wanted to use this incident to regain the trust of the British side and look for an opportunity to ask the British side to resume technical assistance to his side, but he did not expect that he did not achieve any of these two goals.
Recalling his humble appearance in front of Smith, the sense of humiliation in Han Jiang's heart was even worse - he had lowered his posture to this point, and the British envoy still refused to buy his account, what did he want, did he really want him to kneel down and beg him?
Han Jiang shook his head and decided to go back and reorganize his thoughts and then adjust his countermeasures. In any case, there is no way to go, isn't it?
Unbeknownst to Han Jiang, after he left, Smith had talked to another envoy about the incident.
"Although Han Jiang's actions are indeed hateful, the person who passed the information to our headquarters is not at ease." Smith's face was full of solemnity. Although he was annoyed by Han Jiang's behavior of prying the corner, he was more concerned about the force lurking in the shadows and not knowing whether it was friend or foe.
"Near the studio, we found this." His companion agreed with his words and pulled out a small bug: "That man, has already started to beat our minds. β
Smith saw the small bugging device and snorted coldly: "This is a new product from the United States?" β
"That's right. I think that the person who passed the news to the headquarters was probably the one in the northwest of China. This person has always been Han Jiang's opponent, and it should be in his interest to see Han Jiang lose our support. Moreover, at present, he is the only one in the whole of China who has the opportunity to get this information -- everyone knows that he is the only one in the whole of China who is closest to the Americans. His companion said.
Smith thought about it carefully: "Although that Miss is the most suspicious, he can't ignore the others. Take, for example, the south side. That Miesgu, but there is someone who has the ability to do business in England, I heard that she is also doing business with the Americans, will it ......?"
His companion laughed, "Old man, you're thinking too much. The Americans' export ban to the south is still there, and the Yankees can only take things from Mies, and not bring new products to her. There's no way her factory could have made something like that. She currently only makes products such as weapons, raw materials and components, bugging devices? This is not her specialty. β
"That's right. She's just a businessman, not an almighty God. Smith quickly agreed with his companion's words.
"You take that Chinese woman and the factory she runs too seriously." His companion said.
"Now, then, we can target Miesto." Smith stood up: "I'll go get a coffee, and then we'll sit down and talk about it......"
As the eyes of Great Britain here, they must carefully consider and make the judgment that is most favorable to Great English.
Little did they know that outside the bright window, a cute little bird had landed on a branch, tilting its head to listen to them.
