Chapter 37: Heart-to-Heart (3)

Under Tang Cheng's inspiration and guidance, Hans immediately understood what Tang Cheng wanted to convey, and Tang Cheng was quite satisfied with it. "You're right, but then your head of state is going to fight against some of the most powerful nations in the world at the same time! I don't know how strong your German army has become, but I don't think it's a wise decision to fight with all the great powers in the world at the same time! Especially the USSR and Great Britain are still in two directions! ”

There were many things that Tang Cheng wanted to tell Hans, but he couldn't go into too much detail, because he couldn't find any reason or explanation to support them. So he could only try his best to guide Hans to figure it out for himself, even if what he said didn't sound very reliable, but Tang Cheng's serious expression didn't show the slightest timidity. When Hans heard this, he looked at the map on the wall with a somewhat stunned expression, although what Tang Cheng said had not yet happened, but as a member of the German intelligence service, he also knew a little about the thoughts of those big men in Berlin.

A few years earlier, the Führer had already clamoured to return to the glory of the German Empire, and for the glory of the Empire, it would be a matter of time before he would take over all of Europe. What Tang Cheng said just now sounds unreliable, but if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable. The British still stubbornly believe that they are still the same empire on which the sun never sets, so they are absolutely qualified to dictate the affairs of Europe that are close at hand.

Britain and France were still the biggest black hands in sanctioning and suppressing Germany after World War I, and once Germany was ready for war, these two countries would definitely not be able to escape the attack of the German army. Thinking of this, Hans didn't dare to continue thinking, if the development of the situation was really as Tang Cheng had just said, a world war like World War I would appear again. "Don, how sure are you that what you just said will happen?" Hans, who didn't dare to continue pondering, had to seek answers from Tang Cheng.

When Tang Cheng heard this, he was secretly proud in his heart, he had finally fooled Hans! With a light cough in his mouth, Tang Cheng spoke, "Hans, what the upper echelons decide, how can a little person like us have a chance to change!" If I were you, I would first contact a friend in Germany, preferably a friend with some power. Through them, you will definitely know the current state and movements of the German army, and if they are ready for war, there will definitely be signs. ”

Germany's annexation of Austria can be regarded as the first step towards foreign countries, and Tang Cheng can no longer remember when Germany and the Soviet Union practiced to take Poland, but as long as the German army makes moves abroad, there must be signs in advance. Although Hans said that he had been in Shanghai for a long time, how could he not have close old friends in Germany, Tang Cheng's words were a reminder to him, and in front of Tang Cheng, Hans immediately wrote a telegram and asked his men to send it to Berlin immediately.

"Hans, I've just told you so much, but in fact, what happened in Europe has nothing to do with me. I'm telling you so much just to show that the world is about to be completely chaotic. All I did was to find a place for my family and friends to stay before the real chaos came. Tang Cheng knew very well that when dealing with an old fox like Hans, he must not keep telling lies, and only half-truths can make the other party believe them.

According to Tang Cheng's understanding of Hans, showing a little bit of philistine in front of Hans will make Hans believe what he said before. Sure enough, as Tang Cheng expected, Hans, who heard Tang Cheng's words, just rolled his eyes at Tang Cheng, but didn't say anything. "Hans, we are old friends, I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to watch you die in vain. I would like to remind you that once what I said does happen, you must find a reason to stay in China. Personally, I feel that China is safer than Europe, and the Japanese in particular do not dare to hurt foreigners like you. ”

If he wanted Hans to help, Tang Cheng naturally had to show some sincerity and benefits, no matter whether Hans could listen to his advice or not, Tang Cheng still said what he wanted to say. "The German army may be the strongest in Europe, but the German army also has a fatal flaw, that is, the reserve army is insufficient. Once the other countries that were enemies of Germany united, they would be able to masse much more troops and logistical supply than Germany. ”

"The most important thing is that the big men in Berlin have picked the wrong allies, and Italy's performance in the First World War is a good example of how effective they were. And the Japanese only want to annex Asia, and your Fuhrer's attempt to use the Kwantung Army to contain the Soviet forces in the Far East may be wishful thinking. If I told you that once the Japanese found out that they would not be able to take all of China in a short period of time, they might turn their attention to South Asia, which was much easier to control, what do you think the British and American countries would do if they had too many interests in South Asia? ”

Since the world map was hung up, Tang Cheng has been talking non-stop, but Hans's reaction is only half-convinced, when Tang Cheng said what he just said, Hans subconsciously looked up at the map, and his face was shocked. What Tang Cheng said just now, if it was heard by others, they might only think that Tang Cheng was joking, after all, this was still something that hadn't happened. But Hans was different, only a week ago, he found out some top-secret information from a special channel, and when the Japanese were actively waging war in China, they also organized a group of special scholars to go to South Asia.

According to the information obtained by Hans, this special group of scholars included not only geologists and hydrologists, but also a large number of intelligence officers. When Hans got the news at the time, he didn't take it to heart, because everyone, including him, thought that the Japanese were targeting China. But thinking about what Tang Cheng just said, Hans suddenly realized in his heart that the Japanese were preparing in advance, because they also had a crush on the resource-rich South Asia.

Thinking of this, Hans looked at Tang Cheng thoughtfully, and at this moment, he was even more convinced that Tang Cheng had a secret source of information. "Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?" Tang Cheng, who was stared at by Hans, reached out and rubbed his nose and chuckled. The suspicious look on Hans's face made Tang Cheng smile in his heart, he knew that Hans had begun to believe what he said. "The news from Berlin may not come so quickly, why don't you help me find someone first, and I'm going to take them back to Chongqing with me."

Tang Cheng, who succeeded in fooling Hans into a cripple, put forward his own request in a timely manner, regardless of whether Hans agreed or not, and then talked about other things after getting his own benefits. There are many foreigners living in China, but not every foreigner living in China is doing well, and there are no less than two slums in the Shanghai Concession where a large number of foreigners are gathered. The slums in the concession are different from the slums outside the concession, and most of the foreigners who live here have a job, but this job is enough for them to support their families.

Hans has been in Shanghai for many years, whether it is in the concession or outside the concession, there are a large number of informants, Tang Cheng just wants to use his channels to find a few foreigners to help, which is not difficult for Hans at all. However, like Tang Cheng, openly recruiting foreigners as Chinese, not to mention Shanghai, even in the whole of China, is rare, and Hans is still suspicious of this.

"Hans, you must believe me, I really recruited these people just to find a way out for my family!" Hans's hesitation forced Tang Cheng to tell the truth, and he also approached Hans and spoke to Hans in a smaller voice. "Man, I'm doing it for you, too! If things do develop as I said, Germany will be the losing side. Thinking about the sanctions you received after the First World War, perhaps this idea of mine can also be your last resort. ”

Tang Cheng's words made Hans hesitate again and again, and finally nodded in agreement, as a senior intelligence veteran, Hans never trusts others easily, even if Tang Cheng has cooperated many times, Hans can't trust 100%. This time, however, Hans was going to make an exception, and he chose to trust Tang Cheng for the time being. Compared with Hans's complex psychology, Tang Cheng was very calm, as long as Hans agreed to help, Tang Cheng immediately chose to give Hans trust.

"Hans, we're friends, that's why I'll remind you! Don't tell Berlin what I just told you! Let's not talk about whether the big names in Berlin will believe what you say, even the Führer will definitely not change his decision easily. If you don't get it right, maybe you will become the target of extermination, don't tell me, you have never done black work for your **! ”

Tang Cheng didn't know that his last kind reminder was purely superfluous. Hans was able to work in the intelligence department for more than ten years, relying not only on the ability to collect intelligence, but also on the secret beware of targets and arrows from the upper echelons when he was willing to serve the country. Hans was willing to serve the country, but he didn't believe in the upper-level people in charge of the intelligence department, and Hans already knew what Tang Cheng reminded him.

Tang Cheng, who left from the back door of the restaurant, stretched his waist with a soothing heart when he detoured to the alley. Hans promised to get the results in three days, which made Tang Cheng feel that this trip to Shanghai was not a waste of time. As long as the person Hans helped find can be successfully in place, the thing he has been planning can begin, and I believe that no one would have thought that he could start the layout a few years ago.
