Chapter 51: Hesitation
"Uncle Bai, I have a great good thing here, but if I want to operate this matter well, I still need your help here. But I promise, there will be a big surprise when this thing is done well, and it will surprise you even more than our previous case. Bai Zhanshan hurried to the place where he had made an appointment with Tang Cheng, but found that Tang Cheng was the only one in the entire private room, and when he received the look from Tang Cheng's envoy, Bai Zhanshan immediately withdrew from his entourage, but the first sentence of Tang Cheng's opening made Bai Zhanshan feel frightened.
"I have another clue now, it's about a batch of medicines, sulfonamides, Uncle Bai, do you know?" Tang Cheng's next sentence shocked Bai Zhanshan even more, he worked in the military intelligence department known as the Jinyi Guard of the Republic of China, and he was also a middle-level officer, so he naturally had far more ways to get information than ordinary people. Although sulfonamides are still only under clinical observation in Europe, in fact, many large hospitals in Europe have begun to use this new anti-infective drug, and the military intelligence department, as an intelligence agency, has not received information about it.
Suddenly, hearing Tang Cheng say that such a batch of drugs appeared, Bai Zhanshan's first reaction was incredible, and then a burst of ecstasy rose in his heart. "Little Five, is the source reliable?" As soon as Tang Cheng's words fell, Bai Zhanshan couldn't wait to ask. Although the young man in front of him has just passed his 18th birthday, Bai Zhanshan knows that this son is not a person who likes to talk about it, but this matter is quite related, and Bai Zhanshan needs a definite answer.
"Uncle Bai, don't worry, my sources are very reliable." Tang Cheng's answer was simple, Bai Zhanshan waited for Tang Cheng to continue, but saw that Tang Cheng had stopped talking, and instead picked up the teacup in front of him, as if he didn't want to continue. Bai Zhanshan couldn't help laughing, he only thought about confirming the reliability of the news, but he forgot that the kid in front of him was a dead money-hungry person, and this look looked like he was going to rip off the bamboo.
"Okay, you can say it, whatever the conditions, say it all, as long as you Uncle Bai and I can promise you, there is absolutely no second word." Bai Zhanshan smiled and handed out a cigarette, seeing Tang Cheng reach out and take the cigarette he handed over, the smile on Bai Zhanshan's face looked even stronger.
"Uncle Bai, these goods can't be eaten by the two of us!" Bai Zhanshan did not mention the Military Intelligence Department from the beginning, and Tang Cheng understood that the other party wanted to buy this batch of medicines, but Bai Zhanshan's idea did not conform to Tang Cheng's plan, or it was not in Tang Cheng's interests. "Uncle Bai, this drug will really be put on the market soon, and personally, I feel that this drug may be sold at a sky-high price in the future. Moreover, the quantity of this batch of drugs is not small, and there are many problems involved in it, and your position as the captain of the operation may not be enough. ”
Tang Cheng deliberately bit the pronunciation of the words position and weight, he knew that Bai Zhanshan should understand the meaning he expressed, and sure enough, when Tang Cheng's voice fell, Bai Zhanshan's face showed surprise. "Xiao Wu, no wonder when Captain Zhang left, he told me to take care of you. You're a bold boy! What's up? I'm not qualified as the captain of the operation, and you kid started to beat the attention of our director? I think your kid is too long, can our director bite casually? ”
"Uncle Bai, don't worry, after I finish speaking, you will understand my thoughts." Bai Zhanshan's almost roaring reprimand, but instead of causing Tang Cheng's face to panic, he took out a lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth and smoked it. Tang Cheng was silent for a moment, as if he was concentrating on smoking, and then seemed to be thinking about a problem, and then slowly and leisurely said to Bai Zhanshan. "Uncle Bai, the reason why I will tell you this news is because this batch of drugs is likely to be related to the Japanese."
"What?" When Bai Zhanshan heard that this batch of medicines might be related to the Japanese, he finally couldn't control his emotions and stood up from his chair. "Something to do with the Japanese? How sure are you? Boy, don't play tricks with me, be honest!"
Seeing that Bai Zhanshan finally got serious, Tang Cheng was no longer covered by clouds and mountains, and directly told the situation he had mastered one by one.
"I have an American friend who knows a guy who works at the Shimonoseki pier, and according to him, a batch of sulfonamide powder came ashore from the Shimonoseki pier a week ago. I dispatched most of the investigation team and secretly visited more than half of the people in the city and pharmacies, but I found no trace of sulfonamide powder. In addition, I also sent someone to inquire in the black market, and no one knew the news related to this batch of medicines, Uncle Bai, do you think this is normal? ”
A batch of drugs of a large scale entered Nanjing, but there was no trace of this batch of drugs in either the market or the black market, which in itself was abnormal. Bai Zhanshan naturally knew this truth, so after Tang Cheng finished speaking, Bai Zhanshan's eyes immediately showed doubt. "Uncle Bai, my American friend said that the quantity of this batch of medicines is not small. Think about it, why hasn't there been a little bit of news about such a large batch of drugs entering Nanjing City? That's because someone doesn't want to be known that there is such a batch of medicines in the city. ”
"Could it be the Red Party? I heard that they have been pulling supplies from various channels to transport them to the northwest, and the Central Union has been busy with these things for a while. Bai Zhanshan's words are very unconfident, if this batch of medicines is related to the Red Party, they are busy smuggling all kinds of materials to the northwest, why bother to work hard to transport the medicines into the city first, it is better to directly transport them across the river to the northwest.
"It won't be them, sulfonamides, a new type of drug, not too many people in China know about it. It is impossible for them to get such a large amount of sulfonamides, but I think this batch of medicines has something to do with the Japanese. My American friend said that the Japanese have received a lot of help from the German company Bayer, and that the Americans do not recognize money but not people, and that the Japanese are absolutely not weaker than those of Europe and the United States. You should know better than I do!"
"The Japanese? But why did the Japanese ship such a batch of medicines to Nanjing and put them in the market to make money!" Bai Zhanshan's words blurted out subconsciously without going through his brain, but after he finished speaking, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, and then looked at Tang Cheng, who was already holding his stomach and laughing at the moment. "Don't laugh, you kid, tell me why you think this batch of medicines will be related to the Japanese." Bai Zhanshan shouted with a straight face, and Tang Cheng rubbed his face and held back a smile.
"Uncle Bai, come and see..."Tang Cheng spoke, stretched out his hand to dip some tea, and drew a very simple map on the table. This is Shanghai, this is Nanjing, do you think these two places are far away? Nanjing is our capital, once the Japanese come from the sea and attack Shanghai, do you think Nanjing is still safe? In a war, there will always be people injured and some people will die, even if the Japanese army is powerful, they are not copper-headed iron arms will not be injured, do you understand the effect of this batch of medicines in Nanjing now? ”
In fact, Tang Cheng's words were just his own conjecture, but Tang Cheng's words just now didn't sound too bad, Bai Zhanshan, who was born in the army, had forgotten everything at the moment, and was staring intently at the abstract map on the table. Bai Zhanshan is a veteran who has really been on the battlefield and fought, he is not one of those cutting-edge staff officers in the Ministry of Defense who has never been on the battlefield, thinking carefully about what Tang Cheng said just now, Bai Zhanshan does not think that Tang Cheng's words are alarmist.
"You're a good kid, you didn't lose your father's face, but what you said is very important. Give me two days, and you and your people must not make a fuss until I contact you. Bai Zhanshan, whose thoughts were already a mess, didn't stop long, but after telling Tang Cheng, he left in a hurry with his subordinates. Bai Zhanshan took people away, Tang Cheng didn't stay long, and a few minutes later, Tang Cheng, who had checked out and left, carried a few bags of dishes that had not touched the chopsticks, and slowly walked towards home.
"Are you sure of what he said?" In the heavily guarded military intelligence department, Bai Zhanshan could still sit in the director's office with his back straight, and the person who spoke at the moment was the director who didn't like to smile. "Such a big horse of medicine entered Nanjing City, but there was no news outside, which shows that many people will be involved. It is true that our military intelligence department is highly regarded by the chairman, but if the information is wrong, so that we will return the people who have offended all sides in vain, then we will not be in a good situation. ”
The director's forced questioning caused beads of sweat to gradually appear on Bai Zhanshan's forehead, and the director who had been paying attention to his reaction couldn't help but sigh secretly, saying that this Bai Zhanshan was really not as good as Zhang Jianghe's atmosphere. I knew that this would be the case, and I shouldn't have transferred Zhang Jianghe to Shanghai in the first place, if Zhang Jianghe was here, I would definitely give a satisfactory answer at this moment. Bai Zhanshan, who was thinking about it repeatedly, naturally didn't know what his director was thinking at the moment, and after some repeated thinking about the battle between heaven and man, Bai Zhanshan finally gave a satisfactory answer in front of the director.
"Director, while I can't guarantee anything right now, I believe in that kid. Even if it is found out afterwards that this batch of drugs has nothing to do with the Japanese, I have a way to get them to get in touch with the Japanese, not to mention such a large batch of new drugs for the treatment of infections, even if we keep them, it is not a bad thing. Bai Zhanshan's answer sounded very rough, but he had a good sentence, even if the intelligence department did not enter the market after seizing this batch of drugs, it would be a good thing for the military intelligence department itself, which was facing danger all day.
