Jiang Weiguo was not in the café on the back street of Kangde Road, and he did not come for three days. Li Kongrong, who learned the news, was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it. Although he had been in Germany for more than a month, he still did not know the city, and the only person he could assign and who was familiar with Berlin was Susan Esposito, but on the fourth day the woman finally found someone, in an unexpected place.

"Hey! Hans, give it to me! Hans ......" Jiang Weiguo, who was running on the court, shouted loudly, covered in sweat. And in an unnoticed corner tower, Li Kongrong, holding a telescope, was watching him play basketball with a group of German teenagers. couldn't help but shake his head, he couldn't have imagined that Chang Ergongzi would have such a hobby, if he knew this, he could also go to fight.

Jiang Weiguo is not alone, there are several other Chinese standing by the court, Li Kongrong only thinks that Dai Jitao's son Dai Anguo, Ju Zheng's son Ju Baiqiang, Zhang Jiaxuan's son Zhang Guokui, and a few other men in ordinary clothes, it is estimated that Jiang Weiguo's bodyguards. In the binoculars, the Italian woman dressed in fancy clothes slowly approached the court, and then stood on the sidelines to watch Jiang Weiguo, who was running on the field, applauded unexpectedly after he scored.

"It's really ......" Li Kongrong put down the binoculars, he was ashamed of the Italian woman's actions, and he was even more dissatisfied: he had told her before that she was going to slowly approach Jiang Weiguo, but now it is good, it is simply a big fanfare, but I am afraid that the world will not know.

Suddenly, a fancy lady came to the street court and applauded herself. Jiang Weiguo, who did not refuse to give birth, smiled at her and gave a hasty salute, which made Dai Anguo and others who were watching the game laugh more than once. They also began to look at the woman suddenly, speculating whether she had come by accident or on purpose.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Weiguo was off the field, Susan stepped on high heels and walked over, she smiled and said, "Weiguo, I have an urgent matter to find you, and I need to delay you for a few minutes." ”

Jiang Weiguo's bodyguards looked at Susan with great vigilance, and even deliberately blocked between the two, but Jiang Weiguo, who was lively and lively, didn't feel any danger in this. He was just a little curious as to why the woman knew her name, and he could hear that the woman had an Italian accent – something that made him very affectionate, and he had lived with an Italian couple when he first came to Berlin.

"Beautiful lady, may I have anything important to discuss with me?" Jiang Weiguo looked at the woman, and the woman looked at him: another handsome yellow man, and a real big man: the son of the Chinese head of state.

Susan only regrets that she is too old and has lost the opportunity to marry a big man. She said a little bitterly: "I am entrusted by Mr. Takano of Japan, and I hope that you will convey a piece of information to your father: the Japanese Army will plan an incident in Beiping, China, within three days. ”

"Really?!" Jiang Weiguo was still smiling before, she thought that this woman just knew herself, but she didn't want her to say such a big thing. "Who is Mr. Takano? Where is he? ”

"Mr. Takano is Japanese, so it's inconvenient for him to come forward and tell him." Susan sensed Jiang Weiguo's nervousness and began to be proud. "He said there was an assassination plan against your father going on, and that he and his friends in the Japanese government wanted your father to be safe."

"Thank you!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't tell from the woman's look whether what she said was true or not, but he still thanked him very gentlemanly.

"He wants you to tell your father this information right away, he is now in Lushan, China." Susan once again tugged at Jiang Weiguo's heartstrings: since this sudden woman knew that her father was in Lushan at this time, it was unlikely that she was joking.

"But why should I tell my father right away? What is the connection between the assassination plan and the Peiping incident? Jiang Weiguo asked.

"Mr. Takano hopes to gain your father's trust through this incident and prove that he can provide accurate information to your father." When Susan saw Jiang Weiguo enter the Gu, the smile on her face was even worse, "He spent a lot of money to obtain this information, so if he provides information again next time, he will ask for a fee." ”

"Charges?" Jiang Weiguo also smiled, he thought that this Mr. Gao Ye was a friendly person between China and Japan, but he didn't want to be an intelligence broker. "What shall I call you, beautiful lady?"

"Yes, for a fee!" Susan looked at Jiang Weiguo as if she saw 20,000 pounds, and after thinking about it for a day, she finally decided to devote herself to this career. "Mr. Takano has many friends in the Japanese government and the Japanese army and navy, and they do not want war with China, but they need to be paid for obtaining information, and not everyone thinks the same way as him. You can call me Mary! ”

"Maria? Is this your real name? Jiang Weiguo's eyes flickered, and he even looked back. He was guessing that this woman's real purpose might not be as simple as money.

Jiang Weiguo looked back, and his bodyguards immediately slowly surrounded him. Susan didn't care, she even lit a cigarette herself, "The name doesn't really matter, the important thing is whether the information is really true." In the event of a war between China and Japan, Mr. Takano would be the only channel for China to learn about Japan's battle plans. It's totally worth paying a small amount of money to get valuable intelligence. The Peiping incident will be a verification of Mr. Takano's intelligence. The woman said, a piece of paper with Takano Rokuro's account number and her phone number, and handed a letter to Jiang Weiguo, "If your father trusts Mr. Takano, you can call me!" ”

Jiang Weiguo hesitated for a moment before taking the woman's things, and he suddenly quipped: "What if I don't do this—don't tell my father what you told me?" ”

"Then Ms. Yao Yecheng will be very, very disappointed in you, she will lose her husband!" Susan smiled, then took her leave.

Jiang Weiguo wanted to make things difficult for this woman, but he didn't want a woman to say the name of his adoptive mother and point out her relationship with his father, which made him even more surprised. This is by no means a joke, people who know him well would not dare to make such jokes, and foreign friends who are not familiar with him will never know the full name of their adoptive mother, and they will know the relationship between their adoptive mother and father.

Open the piece of paper given by the woman, on which is written an unfamiliar name in Romanization: Rokuro Takano, followed by a string of digital account numbers, and the Union Bank of Switzerland written in English; Below is a Berlin telephone number, signed Maria.

"Weiguo, what's the matter?" Seeing Jiang Weiguo standing there stunned, Dai Anguo walked over, he was the most familiar with Jiang Weiguo.

"Nothing." Jiang Weiguo chuckled, and quietly put away the pieces of paper and letters in his hands. "I'm going home and take a shower."

Jiang Weiguo is the son of the leader, and everyone revolves around him, and he says that he wants to go home and take a bath, even if the show has been arranged in the evening. Soon, Jiang Weiguo's car disappeared into the streets, and half an hour later, Tang Zong of the Military Attaché Office received a call and rushed to Jiang Weiguo's apartment.

"Brother Naijian, I want to ask, is there a Japanese named Rokuro Takano in Berlin?" On the way from the stadium to the apartment, the first person Jiang Weiguo thought of was Tang Zong, who had been engaged in intelligence work, and the purple lamp and secret writing potion he bought two months ago were sent to his apartment for him to visit. [note 12]

"Rokuro Takano?" Tang Zongchang is white and pure, and his voice is also harmonious. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "As far as I know, no." Second son, is something wrong? ”

"Yes. Something happened. Jiang Weiguo did not elaborate on what happened on the court in the afternoon, he only asked: "Is there a celebrity named Kono in Japan?" ”

"I don't know anything about Japan." Tang Zong said regretfully, "But I can let the country check whether there is such a person." ”

"Forget it, I don't have to." When Jiang Weiguo heard about the country, he thought of Dai Li and Xuyi. It's just that after thinking about it, he thinks that his father will still hand over this matter to Dai Li, so he said: "Today, someone helped this Kono Rokuro spread the word that the Japanese had an assassination plan against my father, and he wanted to provide information, but there was a fee. ”

"Ahh Tang Zong looked at Jiang Weiguo gratefully, such a secret and important thing would tell him, it was definitely a real trust, and he said with concern: "This is a good thing, but I am worried that this may be a conspiracy of the enemy, or just to cheat money." ”

"Yes, I have the same idea, but the other party first provided a piece of information for verification." Jiang Weiguo thought about it, then turned to look at Tang Zong again, and said solemnly: "The other party said that within three days, the Japanese Army will create an incident in Beiping!" ”

"Beiping?!" Tang Zong took two steps forward, his waist was bent, and his face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said, "Beiping is an eventful place!" We should tell the chairman of the committee as soon as possible, and we should make preparations as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely that there will be another September 18 incident. ”

"Okay, you draft the message," Mr. Jiang said. He did have a close telegraph connection with his father before, but the two basically didn't talk about current affairs, after all, he had an older brother above him. Helplessly, this matter involves his father's safety, and he has to care, even so, he feels that this matter should be sent back to China with Tang Zong, and the eldest brother of the province cares.

Jiang Weiguo is smart, he understands his role in the Jiang family very well, everything is measured, what should be said and done, what should not be said and done, and never more than half a step. That night, this telegram jointly signed by him and Tang Zong was sent to Lushan Meilu.

The time in Berlin is six hours slower than Lushan, which is late at night and Lushan is early in the morning. In the mountains of Dayue Mountain, the stone-built English villas sleep sweetly in the night. The bright moon bends, the cool mountain breeze blows through the bamboo forest, rustling, and then the mountain breeze blows the pine forest next to the villa, the needles sway, and the pine waves are gusting.

Chang Kaishen, who has always required himself to be a soldier, had already fallen asleep, and the light in the room of Song Meiling, a night owl who had always slept late, had also been turned off. Colonel Wang Shihe, who had the telegram in his hand, patted his head - he could not decide whether to call the chairman immediately. In terms of importance, it was a telegram sent by the second son, which involved the plan to assassinate the chairman of the committee, and also involved the Beiping conspiracy deliberately created by the Japanese army. But this was a warning from a Japanese Rokuro Takano who appeared rashly, and the telegram said that this person was probably an intelligence broker, and the purpose of informing him of this information was money: he said that future information would be charged.

There was a change in Beiping within three days. Wang Shihe looked at his watch, three o'clock. Thinking that there would be a change in Peiping within three days, he finally decided to wait for the chairman to get up before making a report.

'Within three days' was a qualifier that Li Kongrong said on July 3, but it was already July 6 when he found Jiang Weiguo, and the telegram was sent to Lushan on July 7. Chang Kaishen, who got up at six o'clock, couldn't deny it after reading this telegram, and he asked: "Is there such a person as Rokuro Takano in Japan?" ”

"Report to the principal, the lower official has already asked people to check, there is no news for the time being, only that there is no surname Gao Ye among the celebrity dignitaries." Wang Shihe replied cautiously, only saying that it had been confirmed.

"Rokuro Takano?" Chang Kaishen read the name, "I'm afraid this is another Japanese bluff." However, after he put down the telegram, he said: "Immediately draft a telegram and send it to Beiping, let Qin Shaowen pay attention to his vigilance in the past few days, and don't be like the Northeast, lose it without firing a shot!" ”

"Yes, Headmaster!" Wang Shihe nodded, but he didn't leave, he knew that Chang Kaishen still had something to say.

"I also sent a telegram back to Wei Guo, asking him to stabilize this Kono Rokuro and tell him that as long as the information is credible, I will never treat him and his Japanese friends badly, and I also very much hope for peace between China and Japan." Chang Kaishen commanded. "Also, you call, and ask Yunong to come to see me immediately."

"Yes, Headmaster." Only then did Wang Shihe nod and turned away. Half an hour later, Dai Li, who got up early, stood downstairs in Meilu, where he happened to attend the graduation ceremony of the first phase and the opening ceremony of the second phase of the officer training corps in Lushan.

"What do you think?" Jiang Weiguo's telegram was all about official business, so Chang Kaishen showed the telegram to Dai Li.

"Students think it's better to believe what they have than what they don't have. Three days is not long, three days can know the truth or falsehood, since the other party dares to say such a thing, it is naturally certain. In addition, the students also heard that there is a popular saying in Japanese political circles: it is said that there will be changes in North China during the Tanabata Festival. Dai Li's words are endless, and he is very respectful.

"Hmm." Chang Kaishen said that since February this year, the situation in North China has been on the verge of breaking out, and if the Japanese come over again, then North China will definitely have to become independent. Thinking about this, he asked again, "Do you know who this Kono Rokuro is?" ”

"The student didn't know it yet, but the student thought that the name was probably a pseudonym." Dai Lidao.

"But the Swiss bank account he gave is real, and he wants us to send money over in the future." Chang Kaishen said.

"Students heard that Swiss banks can set up accounts under a pseudonym." Dai Li replied carefully, "Even if it is not a pseudonym, it is very likely that the other party will open an account with someone else's identity, and once the money is remitted to this account, it will be transferred immediately." It's so cumbersome, he probably is afraid that the Japanese will track it down. ”

"Let's wait three days." Chang Kaishen felt that what Dai Li said made some sense, but he was thinking about how he would deal with it if the incident in Beiping really happened. Touching his bald head in annoyance, he sighed: "Time is not waiting for me!" ”
