Chapter 113: Mutual Distrust

"Forget everything you just heard and saw, remember that you are a Chinese, all foreigners, can't believe it! At least until they prove that they are with us and have no conflict of interest, they can't be trusted! Leaving Hans's restaurant, Ma San was still reminiscing about what he had just seen and heard, but he didn't want Tang Cheng to say that he couldn't believe the big-nosed foreigner just now, Ma San only felt that his mind was in chaos.

"Do you think I had a good conversation with him just now, and it looks like I have a good relationship?" Tang Cheng, who suddenly stopped, turned to look at Ma San, and after Ma San nodded subconsciously, Tang Cheng suddenly laughed. "Master Ma once told me that among all his apprentices, you are the kindest one. Do you know why Ma Ye has to take you with him every time he goes out? He doesn't just want to train you, but to take you to see the world and let you know that people are sinister, and he wants to show you that you are easy to trust others. ”

Tang Cheng's words made Ma San stiffen and freeze in place. He originally thought that the master would take himself with him every time he went out, because he was the master's most trusted apprentice, but he didn't want to have this kind of intention in it. "The relationship between me and the big-nosed foreigner just now is just a simple relationship of interests, if one day I get in the way of the other party, or the other party feels that betraying me can get better benefits, maybe he will not hesitate to betray me to the Japanese."

Tang Cheng's words made Ma San feel a chill in his back, seeing that Tang Cheng and the big-nosed foreigner got along just now, almost like his own brothers, he didn't expect that Tang Cheng had been watching out for the other party, was it because the other party was a big-nosed foreigner? "That's right, just because he's a foreigner and we're Chinese." As if seeing what Ma San was thinking at the moment, Tang Cheng straightened his face and continued. "The only people who can make me willingly hand over my back are Chinese, foreigners, no."

Tang Cheng is a nationalist at heart, and too much news discriminating against Chinese people on the Internet in later generations, and the take-off trend of China's growing power, have made countries around the world, especially European countries, spare no effort to contain China. Younger generations like Tang Cheng are not as eager to live abroad as the previous generation, and they are more willing to stay at home, believing in the great revival of nationalism. In this era, although there were a lot of foreigners in Tangcheng, it was just a simple use and exchange of interests.

Tang Cheng successively handed over some design drawings of new weapons to Hans, and even informed Hans of the location of tungsten mines in Austria, which was not just a simple desire to obtain monetary benefits from Germany. The mustachioed Führer of Berlin is currently only in a dormant state, and sooner or later this Führer with dreams will start a campaign against Europe and the whole world.

If the war of aggression against China was only a local war in Asia, then the Second European War provoked by Germany would completely turn into a world war involving the whole world. Anyway, the German army could not defeat China, and Tang Cheng did not mind providing some help to the Germans selflessly, hoping that in the upcoming world war, the German army could kill more Europeans, thereby consuming the national strength of all countries except China. Tang Cheng didn't know what kind of role his advance layout could play, but he knew that he was willing to shed the last drop of blood for the country.

Coincidentally, just when Tang Cheng told Ma San not to have too deep contact with foreigners, Hans was also talking about Tang Cheng with his cronie Karnay at this time. Karnay was Hans's old subordinate when he came to Shanghai a few years ago, but after Hans came and went back to Tangcheng, Karnay rarely appeared in restaurants according to Hans's instructions. Hans arranged this because he didn't want Tang Cheng to know about Karnai's existence, and after living in Shanghai for a long time, Hans also learned to arrange the way back.

"Don't underestimate Tang, among the Chinese I know, Tang is a very mysterious person, and he is still very young." The longer he spent with Tang Cheng, the more Hans would not underestimate Tang Cheng, even though Tang Cheng's age seemed to be two years younger than his eldest son. Therefore, when Karnay underestimated Tang City, Hans gave advice, not encouragement and connivance. "Tang has a close relationship with China's ** intelligence department, although we can't prove that he is a person from China's ** intelligence department, but the things he did before are more than 100 times stronger than any person in China's ** intelligence department."

At this point, Hans sighed with some regret. "It's a pity that he is a Chinese, otherwise I would have tried everything to get him to Berlin, and the German intelligence services would lack agents with strong operational capabilities like him." Hans's regret is only for Tang Cheng, who has outstanding ability to act, although he can't agree with Hans's attitude 100%, but Karnay also knows that after Tang Cheng came to Shanghai, he specially targeted the actions implemented by Tegaoke. After all, the casualty figures on the side of Tegaoke are real, and Hans's other insiders in Hongkou District have also confirmed the authenticity of those casualty figures.

Hans took a fancy to Tang Cheng's ability, but because Germany had secretly formed an alliance with Japan, he had to hide some things from Tang Cheng, so he was not in a very good mood. When Karnay reminded Hans to beware of Tang Cheng just now, Hans did not reprimand Karnay, because he knew that in the face of national interests, private friendships can only exist on the surface. "Forget it, I'm just casually saying that what you just said is very right, if the Japanese side knows that we are secretly in contact with the person they are looking for, the consequences will be very troublesome."

Although there is no specific evidence on Hans's side to prove that Tang Cheng is the attacker of many assassinations in the concession that intercept and kill the plainclothes murder of Tegaoke, according to Hans's understanding of Tang Cheng and the information from the inside, Hans still believes that these things are inseparable from the elusive Tang Cheng in the recent period. "I arranged for you to avoid meeting Tang Cheng from the beginning, the purpose is to prevent him, in case one day his identity is known by the Japanese side, you are the scavenger who specially cleaned him up."

"Tang hasn't seen you, let alone know the relationship between you and me, and there is a good chance that you will solve him. But right now, we can't touch him yet, after all, there are still a lot of places to use him. "Like Tang Cheng, Hans is also secretly guarding against Tang City, if it weren't for Karnay mentioning today that he wants to guard against Tang Cheng, Hans would definitely not tell Karnay about his plans. As an intelligence officer sent to the Far East, from the moment he left Germany, Hans was destined to trust only his men, and as for the others, Hans was careful.

Tang Cheng and Hans formed an alliance because of interests, and they were wary of each other because of interests, but Hans didn't know that Tang Cheng had already known that he still had some people scattered outside the restaurant. Returning to his residence with Ma San, Tang Cheng waited for Hans's call while reading and studying the intelligence materials provided by Hans. Ma San was very puzzled by this, so he asked Tang Cheng for the reason, but Tang Cheng's answer made him even more confused.

"As I told you before, Hans and I have formed a temporary alliance because of interests, that is, to use each other. The thing he mentioned today couldn't have been done by his own channels, so he found me. In the restaurant's office, I had already made it clear to him that if he wanted to get me in, he had to tell me everything. What I'm waiting for now is his final reply, and if he refuses, we'll do it ourselves. ”

Although the intelligence information provided by Hans was not comprehensive, Tang Cheng had already had a general understanding of this matter after carefully reading and reading these intelligence materials. In his opinion, as long as he found the Kwantung Army officer named Miyamoto Jingichi, all problems would be solved. Even without Hans's help, Tang Cheng at least had the certainty of retreating, and even if the action failed and the matter was revealed, he would not be involved in the end.

Ma San didn't expect that Tang Cheng already had the idea of acting on his own, and after waiting for it to disappear, Tang Cheng finally waited for a call from Hans. "Hans, it's settled, I'll be involved in this matter, but you and your men will be at my disposal during the operation. And once the purpose of the action is achieved, you will be responsible for sending my share by water to Chongqing, and I will arrange for someone to take over in Chongqing. ”

Tang Cheng deliberately mentioned Chongqing on the phone, which made Hans on the other end of the phone even more convinced of his previous suspicions, Tang Cheng should be a person from China's ** intelligence department. After making a simple agreement with Hans on the phone, Tang Cheng hung up the phone, but Ma San was a little worried about Tang Cheng's behavior of mentioning Chongqing on the phone, he used to follow Ma Ye to the north and south, but he would never tell anyone the location of the nest.

"I did it on purpose!" Tang Cheng didn't intend to hide everything from Ma San, he chuckled when he put down the phone. "I know Hans won't really trust me, and the things I did after I came to Shanghai would make people think that I was the first intelligence officer. You don't look at Hans as harmless to humans and animals, in fact he is the head of the German intelligence service in Shanghai, and to deal with this kind of person, you can neither tell all lies, nor all tell the truth, and you have to be true or false to make him make wrong judgments. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying!" What Tang Cheng said at the moment made Ma San frown secretly, but he didn't understand it at all, but he knew that the young man with a chuckle on his face in front of him would never harm himself. Because from the time when the master took them out of Nanjing and went south to Chongqing by water, they were already a family on the same boat.
