Chapter Forty-Six: Knocking on the Soviet Bamboo Pole
"Oh?" Sorge's eyes lit up, his eyebrows raised, and even the old Chelov next to him couldn't help but straighten his waist.
"It turned out that you did it.... I remember that Jiro Ono died of a violent illness, but I didn't expect you to do it! ”
Old Chelov looked at Geng Chaozhong with a surprised expression on his face.
Then, he set his eyes on Zhu Muyun again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said:
"Comrade Zhukov also applied to his superiors several times to strike at the Japanese spy heads in the island city, but he never found the opportunity. I didn't expect you to do it! ”
Zhu Fatzi was slightly embarrassed, but soon his face returned to normal, and even with a hint of pride.
I can't do it myself, but my students can do it, doesn't this just prove that I have a good way of teaching!
"There is an old Chinese saying that the afterlife is terrible, and it seems to be true." Sorge couldn't help but nod his head.
"Yes, there is also a saying that blue is better than blue." Old Chelov added.
It seems that old Chelov is in love with Zhu Fat Man today, and he has to pull Zhu Fat Man's face.
Zhu Fatzi didn't care, he and Chelov hadn't been arguing for a day or two, he didn't care that Chelov took advantage of it verbally, and "making a fortune in silence" has always been the purpose of Zhu Fatty.
"Let's talk about the process! Youngster. Sorge ignored the fight between the two black-bellied middle-aged people, and set his eyes directly on Geng Chaozhong.
The Aoyama Mansion has always been the base camp of the Japanese spies in the island city, and since the Germans occupied Qingdao, the Aoyama Mansion has always existed, and Sorge, as a Chinese expert who has traveled all over China, is of course very clear about this.
Moreover, Ono Jiro, the head of the Qingshan Mansion, has always been a dragon without seeing the end, and Geng Chaozhong can kill him quietly, which is really not an easy task.
Geng Chaozhong looked at Zhu Fatzi, Zhu Fatzi nodded, and signaled that Geng Chaozhong could talk - in fact, he was also very curious about how Geng Chaozhong did this during his absence.
Sorge couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, Geng Chaozhong's move was obviously to guard himself as an outsider. He didn't want to think about it, Zhu Fat had invited him to his house, what else could he hide in such a trivial matter?
Over there, Geng Chaozhong has already begun to tell what happened:
"That's right, this has to start with the residence left to me by the teacher, this residence can eavesdrop on the second floor of Baihuaju, a certain time, I overheard the collusion between Zhang Haogu, the boss of the Youth Gang in the island city, and the Japanese, knowing that Zhang Haogu is controlled by the Japanese, but he is very unwilling. So I took advantage of Zhang Haogu's betrayal of the Japanese to bring out Ono Jiro, and then when Ono Jiro regained Zhang Haoguzhi's complacency, and relaxed his vigilance at the door of the Aoyama Mansion, he pretended to be a rickshaw driver and fed it the poison pills prepared by the Japanese themselves. ”
Sorge nodded while listening, and Zhu Fatzi and Chelov next to him also heard about it for the first time, and they also opened their mouths from time to time next to him, asking for some details, and Geng Chaozhong answered all the questions.
There is nothing unseemly about this matter, I didn't use a sniper rifle, nor did I use any special functions, I purely used my brain power, and I was able to add fuel to the fire because of the situation, and now that I think about it, it can be regarded as my own proud work.
"So, now that Zhang Haogu is our man?"
Sorge asked another question, and Zhukov and Chelov next to him also stared at Geng Chaozhong tightly.
This is what the three of them value the most.
Now that Jiro Ono is dead, how to maximize the benefits of the Soviet Union or the Cheka is what they value.
Zhang Haogu is the leader of the largest underground force in the island city, and if he is mastered, it can be said that he will play a decisive role in the strategic intelligence of the Soviet Union in the whole of East China.
To put it more seriously, Jinan and Qingdao, the two major cities in Shandong, getting one is equivalent to mastering half of the civil intelligence community!
Looking at the eager eyes of the three people, Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but smile slightly.
Zhang Haogu is the biggest trump card in his hand, of course, he can't hand it over so easily. However, if you don't give them a little sweetness, then this trump card will lose its effect.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Haogu is indeed my partner now, but it is not so simple to really make him useful to me, you know, Zhang Haogu is not a person who can be subservient, since he can betray the Japanese, of course he can also betray us, so we must give him a little sweetness and hang his appetite, which is very important. Unfortunately, I don't have any resources, and although I have made a lot of bad promises, I have cashed very little.
I reckon he's running out of patience. ”
"What blank check did you promise him?"
Chelov was the first to stand up, his thin face unusually focused.
Geng Chaozhong was secretly amused in his heart.
I'm afraid that you won't be tempted, as long as you are tempted, then my benefits are indispensable!
"I think he promised the Soviet arms deal, the timber business in the Far East, the ginseng and mink antler velvet in the Northeast, and radio communications. Now I only have the radio station, and I still use the equipment and personnel of the Party Investigation Section. My head hurts and I don't know what to do with it now......"
Geng Chaozhong said with a sad face.
"How can you promise so much?!" Chelov was in a hurry, and even Sorge opened his mouth in surprise.
Just kidding, arms, timber, mink and deer antlers, in addition to drug trafficking, basically the most profitable business is accounted for, so many benefits, even Chelov is not qualified to promise, Geng Chaozhong actually dared to speak!
"No way, I don't promise so much, how can Zhang Haogu betray Ono Jiro?! We have an old Chinese saying, called: reluctant children can't trap wolves. ”
Geng Chaozhong spread his hands and said helplessly.
"That's too much! One munition alone is enough! I still have a way to do this, wood or something, I need to negotiate with the Red Army Command in the Far East, the relationship is too complicated, do you know, now we are building the Trans-Siberian Railway, how much wood will be consumed in a year? It's too hard, no! ”
Chelov shook his head repeatedly, as if the matter was very difficult.
Geng Chaozhong frowned and glanced at Zhu Fatzi quietly.
Zhu Fatzi's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood Geng Chaozhong's intentions, he was ripping off bamboo!
Knocking on the bamboo pole of the Soviets, neither Geng Chaozhong nor Zhu Muyun will feel distressed!
"It's not impossible."
The fat man next to him spoke.
He glanced at Sorge next to him and spoke:
"Sorge has good relations with the command of the Red Army in the Far East, and if he intervenes, there should be a possibility of coordination in this matter. The Trans-Siberian Railway consumes so many sleepers every year, as long as it leaks a little, it is estimated that it can be used to pass the time. ”
The corners of Chelov's mouth curled slightly, and he finally controlled his emotions.
So the eyes of all three people focused on Sorge.
Sorge didn't know what they were up to, this was a naked rip-off!
Needless to say, that Geng Chaozhong is understandable that he asks for resources, but that Chelov is just pulling himself into the water nakedly!
Otherwise, where there is no timber, why do you have to mention Siberia, what is the Soviet Far Eastern Command ?!
However, although Sorge was uncomfortable, he was still seriously considering the issue.
He came with a mission.
If the Soviet Union now wants to move westward into Europe and annex Poland, it must ensure strategic security in the east. And China in the east is big but not strong, and the real strategic opponent is the Japanese. After the Japanese annexed Korea, they already had a stable springboard on the East Asian continent, and they could implement the mainland policy and annex China; You can also hold North Korea if you retreat, and slowly try to do it.
And once the USSR moved westward, then it absolutely cannot be ruled out that the Japanese would take advantage of the emptiness in the rear of the Soviets to further occupy Mongolia and threaten the borders of the USSR!
Japan and Russia have been fighting for decades in the Far East, and strategic mutual trust does not exist at all!
The Soviet Red Army Command had a great appetite and wanted to integrate the intelligence services of the Far East to serve the Soviet Union's Far Eastern strategy, and the Kwantung Army had an equally great appetite, and they had established the Special High Branch as early as two years ago, which had already integrated the extremely scattered intelligence forces of the Japanese Empire, which was also to serve the overall situation of the Far East!
Of these, only China was the slowest to respond, but Commander-in-Chief Chiang had also begun to establish the Renaissance Society, intending to establish a unified, iron-blooded, and highly executed intelligence organization.
There is no shortage of strategists in any country, even if it is as decaying as China, at the strategic level, it still has a think tank that is not inferior to any world power!
It's just that the current state of the division of the country and the weak industrial capacity limit the means at the strategic level. Therefore, the Chinese can only win the support of the United States in the Americas through continuous diplomatic efforts.
But if the strategic capabilities of a country can only depend on diplomacy, then there is no doubt that the country's development is a failure.
This is exactly the case in China now!
Of the three people present, it seems that all belong to Soviet intelligence.
But in fact, Geng Chaozhong's heart has always been on China's side, and although Zhu Fatzi's situation is complicated, he still doesn't want China to be hurt.
As for Sorge and Chelov, they were both internationalists in the Soviet intelligence services, one of them was Jewish, the other was of mixed Russian-German descent, and their ideal in their hearts was world harmony.
Strictly speaking, Zhu Fatzi is of mixed Chinese and Russian descent, and he is also an internationalist.
This is also an important reason why these few people can talk about a piece.
Several people stopped talking and looked at Sorge quietly.
Since Sorge wanted to unify the intelligence services of the Far East on behalf of the Red Army Command, it was impossible not to have a little blood.
This is also the Cheka and the Red Army Command Fourth Bureau There are still a lot of personnel exchanges, relatively speaking, the problem is not very big - like the merger of the Central Military Command in the future, how many tragedies have occurred, Geng Chaozhong has a lot in his heart.
"Alright! I can figure it out....." Sorge finally nodded.
Although the Soviet Union is now short of timber, the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway is nearing completion, and the production capacity is actually facing overcapacity.
"And what about mink, ginseng, deer antler?"
Geng Chaozhong continued to ask unrelentingly.
"Ahem, ahem." The fat man next to him coughed a few times.
This kid is too much!
Ginseng, mink, deer antler, no in the Northeast?! Do you have to use the Red Army in North Manchuria? Isn't this a cannon to fight mosquitoes!
Sure enough, Sorge's face showed an impatient expression, and he spoke:
"These things, it's good to find Zhang Xue!"
Geng Chaozhong was stunned by Sorge, and couldn't help but shut up stupidly.
If I can find Zhang Shaoshuai, what are I looking for you?!
Chelov couldn't help but smile next to him, and changed the topic:
"Okay, okay, don't embarrass Sorge for this little thing. As for the question of guns, it is very simple, when we were suppressing bandits and eliminating white bandits, we seized a large number of Mosin Nagant rifles, and now they are all waiting to be disassembled in the warehouse, I can contact the logistics support department to sell you a batch, 1 dollar a piece, how about it? ”
Geng Chaozhong nodded, thinking carefully.
The current German Mauser gun is 5 to 7 dollars a piece, and the Mosin Nagant rifle, which is the water bead, is about 3 to 5 dollars a piece, and now Chelov is bidding 1 dollar, which is really cheap to grandma's house. Although it is second-hand, it is also second-hand! The warlords and bandits in the country are absolutely not picky!
When it comes to Mosin Nagant, Geng Chaozhong can't help but think of the model of the Mosin Nagant gun, the old one is called M-1891, and the new one is called M1891-30, which is equipped with cats and improves the ammunition feeding system.
Right! M1891-30 Mosin Nagant, exactly 1930 equipped the Soviet army!
This old guy must have a lot of resources in his hands now! Not only the white bandits were captured, but also the original Soviet troops were eliminated, it is estimated that there are several million!
Counting the disassembly and reinstallation of reasonable transformation, there should be at least hundreds of thousands!
Geng Chaozhong suddenly understood, why did this Chelov agree so happily!
He looked at Chelov and smiled:
"$1 is expensive! My dear Comrade Chelov, these guns, remanufactured into molten iron, will only cost more. What's more, I heard that our Red Army has already begun to replace it with new rifles, and the price of old rifles will only be lower. ”
Chelov was stunned for a moment, he understood, he still underestimated the little guy in front of him a little.
In fact, he had already tried his best to think highly of Geng Chaozhong, but he didn't expect that this guy was far away in China and knew everything about the Soviet Red Army's costume change!
"Alright! 90 cents a piece, it couldn't be lower! This is the lowest price I can contact! It's still up to you to serve us. We can give that guy a little sweetness, but it's not free! “
Chelov babbled.
Geng Chaozhong ignored him at all, turned his head to look at Sorge, and said with a smile:
"I'll say another Chinese proverb: one guest doesn't bother the other. It is better to find Mr. Sorge for both rifles and wood, which will also avoid a lot of trouble. I believe that the Red Army in the Far East will also change its outfit, but it may take a little longer. However, I believe that at that time, the price of old guns should be lower. ”
"75 cents!"
Without waiting for Sorge to answer, the old Chelov over there slapped the board.
"It couldn't be any lower! This is the rifle that our Cheka Social Security Department has inventoried! It must be 200,000 at a time, otherwise the optical path fee will be more than this! ”
"Deal!"
Geng Chaozhong nodded with a smile.
