Chapter 347: Pontianak Spy

The city of Pontianak, located in the western part of Kalimantan, was the capital of the Republic of Lan Fong in the 18th century. The city is crisscrossed by canals, and most of the houses are built on the water. The proportion of the Chinese population is extremely high, accounting for more than 40%.

During the red wave that swept through China in 1935 and 1936, a large number of wealthy people from China fled China and took refuge in Southeast Asia for fear of "communism".

In 1939, the "Red Axis" of China, the Soviet Union and Germany went to war with Britain and France, and the British then launched an anti-Chinese campaign in their Southeast Asian control areas. A large number of Chinese fled the East and West Malay Peninsula, and a considerable part of them were picked up by ships sent by the Chinese side, while the other part of the Chinese fled to the nearby Indonesia, and Pontianak was also one of the regions that received the largest number of overseas Chinese in addition to New China after the British colony began anti-Chinese activities. And this process has also further increased the proportion of Chinese in Southeast Asia.

In addition to the local Indonesian vernacular, Hakka and Teochew are also commonly used lingua franca. In Pontianak today, the largest Chinese power is the Wu family.

Ten years ago, the Wu family was a small local family. Although the expenses are scattered, there are more than 100 people in the whole clan, but they have farms and rubber plantations in the local area, which are only more than 100 acres.

The rise of the Wu family lies in the fact that the old lady Wu gave birth to a grandson, who met a noble man when he was studying in Germany, hugged his thigh, and in the past few years, the Wu family has developed rapidly in the local area with the help of the "nobleman". Ten years later, the area of farms and oak gardens owned by the Wu family in the suburbs of Pontianak has already exceeded 10,000 acres, and many plots of land in Pontianak City are the Wu family's shops, so that the current Pontianak people mention the Wu family every time. It is all called Wu Bancheng.

On 7 December, when news came from Europe that the Soviet Union and Germany were going to hold a joint naval exercise in Iceland, the Wu family was "proud." Wu Xiaoyu, the owner of the Wu family, is bringing his German wife to a dinner party for the local mayor.

The Wu family had a good relationship with the Dutch mayor of Pontianak, Van Kerm. Wu Xiaoyu was even the guest of honor in the mayor's family -- the relationship between the two sides could not be bad. During the war in Europe last year, Britain was blockaded by the German navy, and smugglers who were able to smuggle supplies to Britain could make a fortune and make huge profits afterwards as long as the matter was successful. The family power of Van Muck City in the Netherlands itself, thanks to Wu Xiaoyu's blessing, was able to take the line of the German naval blockade fleet. During the war, their smuggling ships always crossed the German blockade in the English Channel to Britain without any danger. Even if it is intercepted by the German Navy, as long as the special pass issued by the German Navy is displayed, it will always be released.

One of the things Wu Xiaoyu learned from the "Xuanwu Emperor" is that bribery alone cannot form a stable alliance, and only the establishment of a long-term interest chain can ensure the stability of the alliance.

After the dinner, Wu Xiaoyu accompanied the mayor and two other senior foreign officials in the city, one of whom was the local Dutch police chief. The four of them played mahjong, the quintessence of China. And his German wife took the young mayor's wife to watch the American blockbuster released this year - "Toulon Spy".

"Toulon Spy", the prototype of which is the Swedish actress Ingrid. Bergman's famous work "Casablanca". Historically, the film was not made until 1942. And now it's 1941, the war ended early, and the female lead became Lin Han's plaything even earlier.

But in order to make more money. also for "fun", Lin Han asked people to revise and modify the original script, changing the heroine's husband and wife's escape from North Africa to fleeing from Toulon, and the rest of the plot was also copied from the original. Just for the needs of future Oscar actresses, two irrelevant female characters were added to act as tricks, and a few more lines.

The film was released in the United States in September this year, and the anti-socialist atmosphere in the United States is growing day by day. The film is on the official taste of the United States and is very likely to win this year's Oscar. Tonight, Wu Xiaoyu took his wife to the mayor's house. His wife and the mayor's wife and daughter have a very good relationship. After the meal, the men meet friends with "hemp", and the women run out to watch movies together.

Mahjong table. Wu Xiaoyu accompanied the three foreigners, talking about business while rubbing hemp, discussing world events, and trying to set each other's words, crackling and rattling mahjong sounds, time passed little by little.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, when Wu Xiaoyu's German wife and the mayor's wife went home after watching the movie, the mahjong of the four men also came to an end.

As usual, Wu Xiaoyu lost again, a full thousand dollars in one night, but he smiled indifferently and said goodbye to the mayor with his wife.

Standing at the window, watching Wu Xiaoyu and his wife leave in a Rolls-Royce car, the third stranger who played mahjong with him for a night said coldly to the mayor.

"There must be something wrong with this Chinese Wu."

Mayor Van Chem said: "I know that he is either a Chinese spy, a German spy, or both. ”

The strange man, Hettum, was from the Dutch security services and flew from the Netherlands to Indonesia last month, and one of his missions was to carry out a "cleansing" of the local Chinese. The Wu family has developed too fast and too fast in Pontianak in recent years, and has done too much "private work" to help Lin Han and New China, which has long attracted the attention of the Dutch official.

It's just that because Wu Xiaoyu has a dual background of China and Germany, when the European war started, the Dutch were worried about offending China and Germany, so they could just put it aside for the time being and did not deal with him.

The police chief said: "In the past six months, the Wu family's forest farm has accepted more than 1,000 Chinese workers. I have seen the workers, and many of them have traces of being soldiers, and they are not refugees, as he said, but they should be related to *. ”

Heitenham said, "Not only the Chinese, but also the Japanese. During the year, there were also a large number of Japanese immigrants, and they were also very dishonest. Last month, we also seized hundreds of smuggled Japanese rifles in Sumatra, and although we did not find the owner of the goods, they must have something to do with the Japanese. ”

The so-called quilts, China and Japan have taken a fancy to Dutch Indonesia, these two have been in Indonesia in recent years, and the scene has become bigger and bigger, and the results have gradually exposed some dangerous factors. Although the Dutch government was slow to react, when too many forces set their eyes on the area, the sluggish government gradually began to be vigilant.

The mayor asked, "When will we do it and clean up these yellow-skinned monkeys?" ”

Heitham shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, the Soviet Union and Germany will conduct military exercises in Iceland in a few days." Those Bolsheviks are now shouting the slogan "* without borders", and now they are doing it, it is easy for them to use the topic to play"

Speaking of this, Hettum, a Dutch patriot, felt very embarrassed. The number of countries in Europe that are becoming reddish is becoming more and more. The Netherlands, a small country with a dangerous neighbor close to Germany, is not easy to maintain its "neutrality." During the war in Europe last year, in order to protect itself, the Netherlands agreed to the "harmless transit" of the German army at the key point, so it allowed the mainland to escape the baptism of war, but afterwards it offended the British, and the relationship between Britain and the Netherlands was very bad after that. This is exactly the sadness of this era of the jungle, where "giants" fight, and small countries caught between them.

"And when will you be able to deal with these yellow-skinned monkeys?"

"At least after Christmas! It's Christmas just around the corner, and most of the U.S. Navy is out of Manila, so they won't be able to help us if something happens. ”

After the armistice in Europe, the Dutch government also faintly felt the strange atmosphere in Southeast Asia, and the way they handled it was to secretly collude with the United States, make overtures to the United States, and hug the thighs of the Americans -- this kind of "self-preservation" behavior of the Netherlands was also an important reason why the British made up their minds to abandon this old ally and prepare to divide up their colonies with the Japanese.

When Mayor Fanchem and the commissioner from the Netherlands discussed when to take advantage of the contradictions between the locals and the Chinese to clean up the Wu family, the largest Chinese force in Pontianak, Wu Xiaoyu, who left the mayor's house, did not return home directly, but drove to the beach by car.

At the beach, he boarded a small runabout that had been waiting for him all day, and was then sent to a nearby freighter anchored offshore.

It was an American-flagged cargo ship, and on the yacht, he met with some of Mr. Lin's favorite students, Xiao Bailang and Ding Ying, as well as several delegates from New China.

Although the yacht is registered in the United States, it is actually the "master" of the Sephiroth Sect, and using it as a cover is an excellent tool for espionage and infiltration.

As soon as they met, Ding Ying asked, "How is tonight?" ”

Wu Xiaoyu said: "They are starting to suspect us!" ”

"What's that saying?"

"The correspondent from Holland is called Hettum. When he was chatting with me tonight, he kept deliberately bringing up some sensitive topics in an attempt to pique my interest. But I could feel that he was trying something. ”

Wu Xiaoyu looked at the two people in front of him, shook his head and said, "Fortunately, you reminded me in advance, I smelled the smell and didn't fall for him." ”

After sending Wu Xiaoyu off, a comrade from the Chinese side said to Ding Ying: "The patience of the Dutch will not last long, and it seems that we will also speed up our actions." ”

Ding Ying asked, "When will the Japanese do it?" ”

"December 10th! Five days to go! ”

Xiao Bailang sighed: "Five days? Five days to wait, that's the longest five days! ”

"We have the Sea Serpent to help, and if there is an abnormality, he will provide us with the most accurate information in a timely manner."

Ding Ying and Xiao Bailang glanced at each other, although they wanted to ask "who the sea snake is", but the two of them who had been trained as agents knew that they should not ask such laymen's words.

Two days ago, it was this mysterious figure named Sea Snake who provided the Chinese side with information that the Dutch side had sent a security commissioner to Pontianak in a timely manner, and even found out his identity. It is precisely because of this timely information that Wu Xiaoyu did not fall into the chat trap set by the opponent tonight.
