Chapter 101: Untitled
Xie Ziyao didn't know that it was hopeless for her to find the person who rescued her at that time, because Tang Cheng's face was disguised at that time, and what Xie Ziyao saw at that time was not Tang Cheng's original face. According to the news transmitted by the photo studio and Xie Ziyao's report afterwards, the Shanghai underground party also became interested in this mysterious person who rescued Xie Ziyao, and privately suspected that Xu Huanshan, who had come to Tang Cheng, did not expose his relationship with Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng secretly wrote down the hiding location of the handbag woman, originally thinking that he would go over the next day and try to continue to follow the handbag woman, but he didn't want to change this decision because of Hans's arrival. "Don, I've received a message from Berlin that you gave me a hand-drawn map, which has confirmed that there is indeed a large tungsten mine in the Mithill region of Austria." Hans, who had arrived in a hurry, rarely asked if Tang Cheng had anything to do with the attack that had taken place in the concession a few hours earlier, but directly mentioned the hand-drawn map that Tang Cheng had given him.
The hand-drawn map has been confirmed by Germany, which is undoubtedly good news, but Tang Cheng, who heard the good news, did not seem very happy. Pouting at Hans, Tang Cheng's face showed a look of contempt, "Hans, I remember that hand-drawn map, I have been giving it to you for more than 10 days. You can't have sent the map back to Berlin specifically, I guess you sent the coordinates on the map back to Berlin via radio. β
"If so, you Germans are too inefficient in pretending, and it took so long for you to confirm the authenticity of the map and the location of the mining area! I thought you'd already started mining! Tang Cheng's words sounded strange, and there was clearly a taste of contempt, but Hans was not annoyed when he heard it, but instead approached Tang Cheng with a more mysterious expression.
"Don, things aren't what you think!" Although there were only two people in the study, Hans and Tang Cheng, Hans still deliberately lowered his voice. "When the FΓΌhrer learned of this, he expressed great interest, and the expedition team received my telegram and set out for Austria the next day. It's easy to determine the mining area, as long as you follow the coordinates I sent back, you can find it, and the real trouble is how to take the mining area openly, and the various preparations required to open the mining area. β
Tang Cheng originally didn't have much interest in Hans's explanation, but the more he listened, the more wrong it became, and Hans's words obviously meant something in his words! Tang Cheng unconsciously looked up at Hans, who smiled, and then told Tang Cheng a confidential piece of information that was still in strict secrecy. "As you told me, the mine is very large, and there are definitely a lot of proven reserves. However, the mining area was in Austria, and it was impossible for Berlin to allow such a reserve of tungsten ore to get out of their control, so Berlin decided to send troops to Austria. β
Germany's return of Austria to the arms of German Germany was true in the original course of history. Tang Cheng couldn't remember exactly when this happened, but he knew that this incident would definitely not happen now. Could it be that it was because of his own appearance and his own information about the location of the tungsten mine to Hans that the time of this historical event was brought forward? Tang Cheng was faintly uneasy in his heart, he didn't know if the changes in the course of history and time would have an impact on the world pattern in later generations.
Hans didn't know what Tang Cheng was thinking at the moment, but when he saw Tang Cheng looking thoughtful at the moment, Hans asked the reason with a suspicious expression. "It's okay, don't think about it, what I think has nothing to do with tungsten ore." In the face of Hans's suspicious questioning, Tang Cheng's answer seemed a little dry, but Tang Cheng immediately thought of a topic to divert Hans's attention. "Now that Berlin has confirmed the authenticity of the map, will we continue the deal we have agreed with in advance?"
When Tang Cheng handed over the hand-drawn map to Hans before, he asked Hans for a price that he had no way to call the shots, and since the map had been proven to be true, Tang Cheng, who made the provider, was naturally qualified to ask Hans for payment. This time, Hans didn't shake his head and refuse as before, but the answer he gave didn't meet Tang Cheng's requirements. "Don, you must know that it is a lot of money, and even if I promise you now, I will not be able to come up with such a large amount of money." As Hans spoke, he paid attention to Tang Cheng's reaction, and seeing that Tang Cheng was not angry, Hans immediately said what he meant.
"Don, we're friends, I've already told Berlin about the price you requested. After the mining area was found, Berlin initially agreed to your request, and together with the design drawings of the Garand rifle, Berlin hoped to invite you to Germany. I guess Berlin is very interested in how you got those drawings, because the map shows the area in Austria and you're in Shanghai. Hans's words were tactful, but Tang Cheng was already alert, and what he least wanted to happen finally happened.
It is impossible to go to Germany, this is the first reaction in Tang Cheng's mind, after all, those drawings are from the system lottery, once you go to Germany, you have no way to explain the way to Germany. Thinking of this, Tang Cheng shook his head lightly at Hans, "Hans, I'm sorry, I can't go to Germany, especially at this time. To tell you the truth, just a few hours ago, I attacked a special high-tech operation team in the concession, and from now on, I am going to carry out a series of attacks against the plainclothes of the special high-tech in the concession. β
Tang Cheng did not hesitate to blow up his recent course of action in order to divert Hans's attention and explain why he could not go to Germany. "Hans, I am a Chinese, and my father died in the battle against Japanese agents. As a descendant of a martyred soldier, I must do everything in my power to fight all Japanese spies and spies in China. I'm in Shanghai now, so I have to deal with the Japanese spies in the Shanghai Concession first, and then the whole of Shanghai. β
Tang Cheng's words did not surprise Hans, after all, Tang Cheng appeared in Shanghai twice, and he carried out many actions against the Japanese side, especially the previous attacks on the Japanese army hospital and the New Asia Hotel, which are the source of the current chaos in Shanghai. If Tang Cheng found other excuses to refuse to go to Germany, Hans would definitely have doubts in his heart, but Tang Cheng is now using the street corner that adheres to his father's will, and Hans, who used to be a soldier, naturally has nothing to say.
Tang Cheng found a good excuse for himself, no matter how eloquent Hans was, he could not find a reason to continue to persuade and lobby Tang Cheng to go to Germany. However, regarding Tang Cheng's remuneration, Hans immediately gave a guarantee, "Don, don't worry, I will pay you part of the remuneration first." As for the rest, I will urge Berlin to settle it as soon as possible, and if I can, I will ask Berlin to deposit the rest directly into a Swiss bank in a special account for you. β
The Swiss bank, even in the afterlife, has a good reputation, but Tang Cheng did not intend to agree to Hans's suggestion. Both now and in the future, many Swiss banks have been proven to have inextricably linked and complicated ties to the Nazis. Tang Cheng felt that if the money was deposited in a Swiss bank with the help of Berlin**, some of his own situation would be paid special attention to by Germany**, and it might cause unnecessary trouble.
"It's too troublesome to deposit in the bank, you better give me cash, if you feel troublesome, you can also pay with gold." Tang Cheng's decision not to consider Swiss banks made Hans a little embarrassed, and he was not sure if Berlin would believe that he would sell it to Tang Cheng with such a large sum of money. Tang Cheng himself didn't feel that he was embarrassed by Hans, he only wanted to avoid exposing more information about himself to Germany, as for other things, he didn't care about it at all.
Tang Cheng's choice made Hans a little embarrassed, but he was not too out of line, and Hans had already benefited from this hand-drawn map, and Hans could not refuse Tang Cheng for both public and private purposes. Before dark, Hans, who had returned to the restaurant, sent someone to send 30 gold bars and 30,000 US dollars in cash to Tang Cheng, although these were only part of the remuneration, but Tang Cheng was very satisfied with Hans's attitude, but these gold bars and US dollars had not been warmed by Tang Cheng, and he received a call from Xu Huanshan.
Xu Huanshan asked Ah Jiu to post a contact signal on the window of the apartment house, but he didn't wait for Tang Cheng for a long time, and waited until it was dark, and Xu Huanshan, who was anxious, finally called Tang Cheng's residence. "What's the matter with you? I waited for you all afternoon! There are some words that can't be said clearly on the phone, and Xu Huanshan, who is holding back his anger, can only hint at Tang Cheng with words. Tang Cheng was confused about Xu Huanshan's words, he didn't know that Xu Huanshan was waiting for him.
"If there is something to say, if there is nothing to do, then I will hang up the phone!" Tang Cheng on the other end of the phone was not interested in accompanying Xu Huanshan to play a game of guessing, especially since he hadn't had time to put the gold bars and dollars on the table into the safe. Tang Cheng's answer made Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone not know how to answer for a while, and was silent for a few breaths, Xu Huanshan had to ask Tang Cheng on the phone about what happened in the street of the photo studio.
"Ahh You mean that! Yes, I happened to be down that street. Only then did Tang Cheng understand the reason why Xu Huanshan called, but he didn't want to hide it from Xu Huanshan. You know what I came to Shanghai for, and I happened to meet a few high-tech plainclothes people arresting people, so I helped the woman, but then I left the street. Tang Cheng was on the phone, deliberately concealing that he had followed the handbag woman all the way.
