Chapter 18: Secret Talks

Successfully persuaded Sun Xin to go south, Tang Cheng's heart was full of joy, but after leaving Sun Xin's residence, Tang Cheng immediately called Zhang Jianghe and said that he wanted to go to Zhang's house for dinner. Rubbing rice was just an excuse for Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng's real purpose was to pull Zhang Jianghe into his plan to go south. Sun Xin has many students in Chongqing, but most of them do not serve in the government, and if they want to not be oppressed in Chongqing, they must hug Jiang He's thighs is the best policy.

Zhang Jianghe has already married, his wife is from Sichuan, and there is a son and a daughter in the family. Since he got in touch with Zhang Jianghe two months ago, Tang Cheng has not come to Zhang's house a lot, and according to the habit, Tang Cheng, who came to the door under the pretext of rubbing rice, just brought some fruits and cooked food. "Xiao Wu, your family is not rich, next time you come, don't bring any more things!" Zhang Jianghe's wife was kind-hearted, and when she saw that Tang Cheng had brought so many things, she couldn't help but persuade her.

"Auntie, it's all worthless things, but my Uncle Zhang helped me get promoted to sergeant, so I can collect it empty!" Tang Cheng laughed, didn't care about Zhang Jiang and his wife's nickname, and didn't forget to make a grimace at Zhang Jianghe's two children. Tang Cheng had already eaten at home, so he just said that he was full after a few bites, Zhang Jianghe knew that Tang Cheng had come to find him something, so he took Tang Cheng to his study.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Jianghe doesn't smoke, and he doesn't get tired of others smoking in front of him, waiting for Tang Cheng to light the cigarette, and then he asked Tang Cheng slowly.

"Uncle Zhang, you are a member of the Military Intelligence Department, and you should be able to access a lot of information that ordinary people like us can't reach. Let me ask, do you think there will be a war between Japan and China? I've always been a little restless these days, Nanjing is too close to Shanghai, and if something happens, I'm afraid that I'll be left alone. Tang Cheng squinted his eyes by the action of smoking, but he was actually paying attention to the change in Zhang Jianghe's expression.

As Tang Cheng expected, Zhang Jianghe's expression immediately changed when he heard these words. "You kid is living too well, aren't you? I didn't tell you, don't talk about the situation, you can't talk to anyone. Whether you will fight or not, there will naturally be people above to worry about, you are just a little sheriff, just do your own thing, don't always think about those salty radishes and worry about it. Zhang Jianghe's expression suddenly became a little hideous at this moment, and the faint anger in his eyes made Tang Cheng's heart beat wildly.

Tang Cheng didn't answer, just lowered his head and smoked, and the study instantly screamed, and after a while, Zhang Jianghe coughed a few times as if to break this embarrassment, and then spoke softly. "The current situation, no one can say, some people in the city government have secretly sent people to Wuhan and Changsha to buy land. This week alone, the Military Intelligence Department has secretly arrested a number of officials, all of whom are preparing to go to the southwest to purchase property. Zhang Jianghe's voice sounded a little empty, but Tang Cheng couldn't help but look up at the other party.

"So, Uncle Zhang, the people above have already begun to arrange their backs, and we still need to plan ahead for a small role like ours!" Tang Cheng reached into his arms and took out a passbook from his previous inner pocket. "At the beginning of the year, I opened an account with Citibank, and I was going to go to the black market to exchange all the money I could move into dollars and pounds and deposit it at Citibank. I heard that Citibank has a very hard brand, and there is also a branch in Chongqing that can be accessed at any time, so it will be safer. ”

has had a lot of contact with Tang Chengjie, Zhang Jianghe has long known that Tang Cheng is a decisive person in trouble, and when he sees Tang Cheng, he has taken out all the passbooks of Citibank, so he naturally understands Tang Cheng's intentions. "Your family is going to Chongqing? Are there any relatives over there? Why not go to Wuhan? The people of the city government are all buying industries in Wuhan, what is good about Chongqing? Zhang Jianghe already had an idea in his heart, and when he heard Tang Cheng's words mention Chongqing, he couldn't help but persuade Tang Cheng to go to Wuhan to settle down.

"Uncle Zhang, the reason why those people in the city government chose Wuhan or Changsha is because these two places have developed commerce and convenient transportation, and I heard that the prosperity of Wuhan and Changsha is not weaker than Nanjing. People like them have always been accustomed to enjoyment, so they naturally want to find a place suitable for them to enjoy life. But I personally think that it is precisely because Wuhan and Changsha are both places with convenient transportation and developed commerce that once a war starts, this will become a fatal weakness. The convenience of transportation was conducive to the Japanese army transporting troops, and they would concentrate their forces on attacking it more quickly, and the development of commerce showed that these two places were influential cities in China. This is the best choice for the Japanese army, both in a military sense and in the sense of deterring and destroying national resistance. ”

"But Chongqing is different, Chongqing's geographical location is special, surrounded by mountains, the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, it is an easy to defend and difficult to attack. In particular, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River was a natural barrier, and although the Japanese navy had strong ships and good guns, their large ships could not attack Chongqing through the Yangtze River. More importantly, Chongqing is located in the southwest, so it naturally has enough strategic depth, and if Japan mobilizes its army to attack, Chongqing's geographical location will be regarded as lengthening the supply line of the Japanese army to the maximum. ”

Tang Cheng's eloquent talk at this moment made Zhang Jianghe see that Tang Cheng was extremely confident in his judgment, and after a while, Zhang Jianghe sighed lightly. "Xiao Wu, I understand what you said. To be honest, even I can't be sure what will happen to Nanking in the event of a war. Just a few days ago, someone was discussing this matter with me, and I heard that some people around the chairman of the NPC National Committee had proposed to move the capital, but they were all inclined to move the capital to Wuhan or Changsha. ”

Tang Cheng didn't find it strange that Zhang Jianghe was vacillating, and if he were Zhang Jianghe, he might be the same. "Uncle Zhang, you are a soldier and have no choice, but no matter what, my aunt and two children are innocent. Even if you are a soldier, it is not a wrong thing to think about your family for the sake of your family, I just said that I moved my family to Chongqing, but I didn't ask Uncle Zhang to be a deserter!" Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe react instantly, yes, if he just sent his family to Chongqing first, even if his boss or colleagues in the department knew about it, I am afraid that he would not be able to say anything.

"Uncle Zhang, I don't dare to say that my judgment must be right, but if I had to choose, I would definitely choose Chongqing, after all, it is not wrong to be safe. Besides, my aunt was originally from Sichuan, and when she went to Chongqing, she could be regarded as returning to her hometown, so she should not be uncomfortable in life. Playing the family card is the only way Tang Cheng can convince Zhang Jianghe at the moment, and sure enough, when Tang Cheng mentioned Zhang Jiang and his wife, he obviously found that Zhang Jianghe's expression relaxed.

"But we are not from Chongqing, and we are also blind to the situation in Chongqing, and your aunt has not been back to Sichuan for more than ten years, and she has long cut off contact with her relatives over there. So many people go to Chongqing, they want to buy a house, and they need to have a livelihood to make a living, we don't know the situation in Chongqing, I'm afraid things will not be easy!" Zhang Jianghe had a lot of worries, but in Tang Cheng's opinion, these worries were not a difficult thing.

"Uncle Zhang, you are an indecisive character, no wonder you have been pressed by others for so many years, and you can't stand up." Tang Cheng immediately dragged the chair under him, bringing himself closer to Zhang Jianghe. "I know an old professor in a university, this old man is from Chongqing, especially in Chongqing, there are many students who can come in handy. Besides, I didn't say that I want you to lose your current identity, I don't believe that your military intelligence department has no plans to arrange it in Chongqing in advance, it's a big deal, Uncle Zhang, you can take the initiative to apply for a transfer to Chongqing to play the front station. ”

"You kid, you've thought of everything." Zhang Jianghe grinned, he had only been the captain of this action team for only 2 months, and if he wanted to leave from the military intelligence department, Zhang Jianghe would definitely be reluctant. Tang Cheng's proposal to take the initiative to apply for a transfer to Chongqing to fight the front station was in line with Zhang Jianghe's wishes, as long as he still had the identity of the head of the operation of the Military Intelligence Department, even if he went to Chongqing, he would still be a good person.

"Uncle Zhang, in your military intelligence department, there should be no fewer people who can see the situation clearly like you, but there should not be many people who dare to take the initiative to apply for transfer to Chongqing. You are only an action captain now, once you are transferred to Chongqing and make some achievements, maybe the section chief and stationmaster are also capable. Tang Cheng didn't say all the words, and seeing that Zhang Jianghe's expression softened, Tang Cheng said with a smile. Uncle Zhang, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, the opportunity is coming, but you have to seize it. ”

"You kid worked hard to encourage me to go south to Chongqing, what good do you have? Don't tell me any big truth, I don't know you yet..."Zhang Jianghe, who was a little pleased to be touted by Tang Cheng, finally came to his senses, and then looked at Tang Cheng with contempt on his face, and that look obviously said that Tang Cheng was a product who could not afford to be unprofitable.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng immediately laughed a few times, "Hehe, Uncle Zhang, why can't I ask you to transfer to Chongqing alone." The two of us have cooperated well in the past two months, you have a name and I benefit, do you think that there will be no Japanese spies in places like Chongqing? Isn't your military intelligence department still in charge of the police department, I went to Chongqing with you, why don't you give me a police sergeant? When the time comes, the two of us will continue to work together, and when you become the stationmaster, remember to give me more reward money to support my family. ”

In front of Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng rarely hides his thoughts, but the more he is like this, the closer Zhang Jianghe is to him, and this time is also the same. Tang Cheng and the two stayed in the study for a long time, until the moontop treetops, Tang Cheng finally said goodbye and left, and Zhang Jianghe rarely sent Tang Cheng out of his own door. "This kid is amazing!" Seeing Tang Cheng go away, Zhang Jianghe sighed secretly.
