Chapter 100: Chips
In Tang Cheng's mind, Hans was a playboy who didn't do anything serious, especially when Hans wore his plaid coat. It's just that he didn't expect that the playboy-like Hans had such a keen sense of observation that he had already discovered that someone across the street was secretly spying on the restaurant. Tang Cheng was slightly stunned, and Hans thought that he did not believe his judgment, so he hurriedly explained.
"After you left, two of my men came in through the back door to talk to me, and when I saw them off, I noticed that an unknown person appeared in the back alley. At that time, I had an extra mind, so I let a little guy in the back kitchen go out of the back alley, and guess what? There was a pause in Hans's words, and then looking at Hans's expression at the moment, it was obviously an expression of you praising me, and Tang Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
It turned out that outside the exit at the east end of the back alley, there were suddenly a few more vendors with fresh faces. Just now, before you came in, two of the strange vendors went to the building across the street. It's not that I underestimate them, but with their net worth, if they want to live in the building opposite, I'm afraid it's impossible. Hans's words made Tang Cheng turn his head sharply, looking through the glass of the restaurant's street window to the building across the street.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, you said on the phone that you have something important to look for me, what is the matter?" Hans didn't seem to care much about the watchman across the street, but after showing his findings to Tang Cheng, he brought the topic back to business. Tang Cheng did not answer Hans immediately, but followed Hans to the back kitchen's office, and then explained his intention to Hans.
"Hans, you must help me with this, because I can't find anyone else who can help me but you." Tang Cheng's first sentence made Hans laugh wide-mouthed, because he knew that more effort meant greater reward. "The girl who lives with us, you know, we are about to return to Nanjing, because of family reasons, the headquarters of the Nanjing Intelligence Department may verify her identity information."
"If it's just a normal identity check, I'm not worried, but the Intelligence Department is an intelligence agency after all, and I'm afraid that they will secretly play some tricks that I don't like at that time, so I have to give her an identity that can make the Intelligence Department feel jealous but tolerated." Tang Cheng's words sounded a little twisted, not to mention Hans, a big-nosed foreigner, that is, ordinary Chinese listened, I am afraid that for a while, I can't figure out what Tang Cheng meant.
Seeing Hans looking at him with a confused expression, Tang Cheng, who had a hot old face, had to cough lightly in disguise, and then patiently explained to Hans. "I know that you are not only a black marketeer, but you are also secretly working for German intelligence while profiting for yourself." Tang Cheng gritted his teeth and broke Hans's identity, but Hans's reaction was beyond Tang Cheng's expectations, instead of jumping up immediately to refute Tang Cheng, the old god sat comfortably on the sofa, without the slightest panic at all.
"Don, my friend, what you just said, I'm just thinking you're joking with me!" Just when Tang Cheng thought that he had made a mistake in his judgment, Hans's eyes had changed, and the tone and tone of his voice had become cold. "I'm an American, and according to you, I'm a person of status, how can I do things for the Germans? Who is a foreigner in Shanghai who has not done a black market business? Even those in the Ministry of Industry of the Concession are not the same as me! ”
Hans flatly denied that he had anything to do with the German intelligence services, but Tang Cheng was not in a hurry to continue to fight with the other party, but told the other party his conditions. "Hans, we are all smart people, and if you feel that what I just said offended you, then I can apologize to you! But what I said before, I also hope you can help me, because that woman may become my wife in the future, and I don't want my wife to become the target of others to slander and frame me at will. ”
After being silent for more than a dozen breaths, Hans, who had been thinking quickly in his mind, finally looked up at Tang Cheng. "What exactly do you want me to help you do? Let's talk about it first, you don't have to tell me about things that are beyond my ability. Hans's statement made the corners of Tang Cheng's mouth slanted, and he said in his heart that he was afraid that you would not let go, as long as you were willing to let go, this matter would be easy to do.
"Hans, it's not a big deal, I just want to get my wife an identity from you!" Seeing the puzzlement in Hans's eyes, the smile on Tang Cheng's face became even bigger. "Then I want to make it clearer, I need you to add her name to your list of peripheral personnel, in other words, my wife was already secretly working for German intelligence a few months ago..."
"Oh God! Don, you're crazy! Do you know what you're talking about? "Hans, who had not reacted to Tang Cheng's identity before, had already jumped up from the sofa at this moment." Damn, Don, what the hell are you thinking? You tell me! Hans stretched out his hand and pointed at Tang Cheng, this time Tang Cheng sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, but Hans's face was already distorted and hideous.
Tang Cheng directly ignored Hans, who had a hideous face, and reached out to take out a scroll of paper from his pocket and handed it to Hans. "Don't get angry with me first, look at this thing first, if you understand its value!" When the paper roll was handed to Hans, Tang Cheng deliberately rolled his eyes at the other party. According to Hans's understanding of Tang Cheng, he knew that Tang Cheng was definitely not a person who spoke empty words, so he took the paper roll in disbelief, and then opened the paper roll on the table and only glanced at it, and the original hideous color on Hans's face immediately dissipated without a trace, replaced by full shock.
"It's only half the story, and if you don't understand it, or don't understand its value, you can take it and go to someone you trust to evaluate it. But judging by your reaction now, you should also see its value, so can we sit down and talk about it now? Tang Cheng's calm appearance made Hans's teeth itch, and he couldn't wait to directly punch Tang Cheng to relieve his anger.
Hans wanted to beat Tang Cheng to relieve his anger, but he knew that he couldn't do that now, because he had already seen the value of this design drawing, and if he wanted to get the other half of the drawing, he had to not turn his face with the nasty boy in front of him. The angry Hans carefully put the half of the drawings on the table into his drawer, and then sat down opposite Tang Cheng again, and it was only at this moment that he understood Tang Cheng's intentions.
"Tang, do you want to use this design drawing in exchange for the identity you just mentioned?" Hans, who had calmed down, looked very calm, as if the person who had overreacted just now was not like him. "If that's the case, then I'd say, maybe you don't have enough of that leverage. After all, the things in this drawing still exist on paper, and the performance has not been verified, so this thing should be of no value at the moment! ”
Hans devalued the design drawings as worthless, it was just a common method in business negotiations, so Tang Cheng was not angry, if it were himself, he might have gone even more too far than Hans. So Tang Cheng shook his head and refuted what Hans had just said, "Hans, I don't know if you have ever been on the battlefield, or have you ever been in contact with heavy equipment weapons such as armored vehicles and tanks. The things on this drawing are specifically aimed at heavy weapons of war such as tanks and armored vehicles, and the weapons produced by Germany are indeed excellent, but they are not without defects and deficiencies. ”
"Hans, the high cost of weapons is one of the shortcomings of German weapons, and you must admit this! The thing on this blueprint is actually a piece of individual equipment, Hans, you can imagine that enemy tanks and armored vehicles are overwhelmingly driving over, and they are about to enter your position. At this point, when all the infantry weapons seem to be ineffective, the only thing you can rely on is artillery or armored counterattacks. ”
"It's an anti-tank weapon that can be carried and used by ordinary infantry alone, in other words, you don't have to muster a lot of artillery or armor to fight against you when enemy tanks and armored vehicles are overwhelming. You just need to send an infinite number of teams of such anti-tank mobile fire in pairs to completely destroy the enemy's armored offensive. ”
"The most important of these is that its canister can be used repeatedly, so the cost of this anti-tank weapon is low. You can imagine that with a *** whose price is only equivalent to an ordinary large-caliber shell, you can destroy an opponent's tank, can you save Germany a lot of unnecessary heavy weapons consumption and losses? In turn, it will save more money for Germany and equip the army with more and better weapons. ”
Tang Cheng said so much in one breath, it was not Lao Wang's set of selling melons, because this design drawing was obtained by Tang Cheng from the system lottery, and it was originally the design drawings of the Iron Fist anti-tank weapon belonging to Germany. When Tang Cheng won this design drawing, he didn't understand why he would draw such a thing, and when he talked to Zhang Jianghe about Zhou Hongxiang's identity in his residence, Tang Cheng suddenly thought that he still had such a thing in his hand, so he would come to Hans again.
Hans is right, Tang Cheng is going to use this design drawing as his bargaining chip to get Zhou Hongxiang an identity from Hans. Although he only wanted the status of a peripheral member of the German intelligence service in Shanghai, he could also confuse the secret investigation of the intelligence department, at least the intelligence department would not link Zhou Hongxiang with the underground party.
