Chapter 351: Brothers I Haven't Seen in Twenty Years VII
Bogdanov paced back and forth in the room, restless. He was convinced of the competence of Soviet intelligence officers. And the only sentence on the note he saw was that your brother Seryosha is now in Harbin, and there was not a single word else.
At a very young age, Bogdanov filled out the file and explained to the organization that his brother Seryosha had not heard from him after joining Kolchak's White Bandit Army. This time Yavchenko handed the note to himself, and there were reminders and warnings.
But anyway, the superiors still trust him. Otherwise, they would not tell him the news, but would have told the other negotiators around him to spy on him or simply transfer him to another person as the chief negotiator.
Thinking of this, Bogdanov's mood calmed down a lot. He was just waiting now, waiting for what the Japanese would do to him using his brother.
Hideko Kono is also restless these days. She was mainly responsible for surveillance, including recording all the contents of the Quad negotiations. Such recordings are almost semi-public, with a low level of secrecy. Because even if they do not record the talks, the representatives of the Quartet will write down the content of the negotiations with their own pens.
The reason why Hideko Kono was upset was that the bait she threw at Qian Xiaobao seemed to be ineffective.
In order to make the outcome of the negotiations favorable to their own side, the negotiators of the four parties have done everything in their power to come up with all kinds of geographical and documentary materials that are favorable to them.
But the Soviet negotiators have so far not produced that early printed copy of the Manchurian Iron Company.
Could it be that his suspicion of Qian Xiaobao is wrong?
Hideko Kono became more and more skeptical of her original judgment.
When Hideko Kono is suspicious of Xiaobao, she can still smile at Xiaobao hypocritically. But when she began to deny her judgment, Hideko Kono became more and more cold to Xiaobao.
The change in Hideko Kono's attitude towards herself made Xiaobao a little baffled.
The Japanese struggled with the Soviet negotiators. Let them drink good wine and eat good food, and hope that these people will be immersed in it and enjoy themselves. They wished that the Soviets would be able to make some excessive demands in private. No matter what kind of request they wanted, they would happily agree, and then try to satisfy the selfish desires of the Soviets.
The Japanese were eager to soften the Soviet negotiators in concentrated sulphuric acid. It would be better if they could be dissolved.
At present, there are four main groups of people in Harbin who are engaged in intelligence work. Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army, Military Police Command, Manchurian Railway and the Consulate General of Japan in Manchukuo.
This time, except for the Military Police Command, the other three groups of people participated in the border territorial negotiations.
The negotiators were diplomats, and naturally there was the intervention of the Japanese Consulate General in Manchuria. The Yamato Hotel is now an industry of the Manchurian Railway, so naturally the Manchurian Railway cannot be excluded. Of course, there is also about the intelligence department of the Eastern Army.
They are both cooperating and fighting each other.
Late at night, Oki Enichi came to the Yamato Hotel again. He wanted to hear the detailed report of the operatives, but it was somewhat inappropriate to let the operatives report to the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army at this time. He also wanted to see the scene with his own eyes to rest assured.
Oki Enichi quietly checked and left Hideko Kono and Koho behind. He wanted to discuss with the two of them how it would be better for the two brothers Seryosha and Bogdanov to meet.
"There were eight Soviet negotiators, and I don't know if they would spy on each other. They also live relatively close to each other. The representative of Mongolia should also pay attention. How can you be unaware and still have enough time to meet? Ohi said.
"How about sending Seryosha to Bogdanov in the middle of the night?" Hideko Kono suggested.
"Do you think you'll be safe in the middle of the night? If the other Soviets were awake, he would probably have heard which one had opened and someone had entered. You can't take such a risk. Da Hee Yan shook his head and said.
"At dinner time in the evening. How about putting some sleeping pills in the wine? Hideko Kono suggested again.
Da Xiyan thought about it for a while, and shook his head again: "We can't guarantee that everyone will drink the same amount of alcohol. People who drink a lot are prone to accidents. This is likely to be exposed. Those who drink less have no effect. ”
There was silence in the room.
"Sir Daiki, I was sick and went to the hospital once two days ago. The doctor said I had food poisoning. Or we'll get them to the hospital. Xiaobao suddenly broke the silence and said.
"No! If only a few Soviets were allowed to get food poisoning, it would raise suspicions. Hideko Kono said.
"Why are only a few Soviets poisoned, and let more than 30 people be hospitalized?" Xiaobao replied.
"There are nine of our Japanese representatives. How does this work? Besides, they won't agree to it. Hideko Kono retorted.
"Why tell them before you poison them? Besides, what does it have to do with us if we eat a bad stomach? This hotel is owned by the Manchurian Railway, so it is naturally the responsibility of the Manchurian Railway. We don't know anything. Xiaobao said.
When Da Hee Yeon heard this, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"It's so much easier to get to the hospital. They can be sent to different wards, different floors. Even different hospitals. There is no way, there are too many patients. Daxi Yanyi said with a smile.
It seems that Daxi Yanyi agrees with Qian Xiaobao's suggestion.
Hideko Kono turned her head and glanced at the little bastard standing beside her with a bad stomach.
"It's still that problem, how to grasp the quantity?" Daxi Yanyi said with a deep groan.
"It's not good to put it in wine, some people drink more, some people drink less. You can't say that there is no alcohol, right? That's too fake. Xiaobao said.
"I recommend putting it in mashed potatoes. One serving per person. If anyone still wants it, tell him he's sorry. But there are other things like bread and fruit. Xiaobao continued.
Oki nodded approvingly.
"When I go back, I'll have to discuss it with Director Yanagida Motozo. Of course, there is a need to consult with the medical staff in the Ministry of Intelligence. Ohi said.
When Oki was about to leave, Hideko Kono suddenly said, "Chief Oki, since this afternoon, some hotel service staff have emptied the tables and chairs in a conference hall. When I asked them what they were going to do, they said that the Japanese chief negotiator, Nobu Morita, was going to hold a ball tomorrow night. I want to find a few ** babies from Harbin song and dance halls to dance with the Soviet guests. ”
Da Xiyan frowned when he heard this.
** Wa is the Chinese name for those Russian girls in Harbin.
"I think the Soviet negotiators were in a bad mood when they saw the Russians living here. I even feel like it's humiliating. Hideko Kono said.
"Since it was arranged by the consulate, we don't care. Nor is it our responsibility to go wrong. As soon as Da Hee Yan finished speaking, he walked out.
