Public Concession Ministry of Industry Office Building.

Han Lin and Tang Ying walked into the hall holding their arms, to be precise, it was Tang Ying holding Han Lin's arm, and the appearance of the two immediately attracted the attention of many people. This is a very normal social etiquette, and it sends a signal that the two are coming to the dance together.

After waiting for Smith to send an invitation to the ball, Han Lin first invited Tang Ying to a Western restaurant for dinner, and then went home to change his clothes, and then drove to the office building of the Ministry of Industry.

Han Lin took two glasses of red wine from the plate held by the waiter, handed one to Tang Ying, and sat down at a table very casually, there was still an hour before the official start.

Tang Ying, a socialite and courtesan, knows a lot of heavyweight characters among the upper-class people who participate in the ball, and whenever she meets familiar people from the financial or business circles, she takes the initiative to introduce Han Lin, and Han Lin will not be rejected by relying on the background of the Han family.

Peers are enemies, but there are no salt merchants who participate in the ball, and people with a little common sense know that salt trading depends on relationships and connections, and if you don't have some skills and ability, you will definitely not get quotas and sales rights, so there is no harm in getting to know them.

"I must say from the bottom of my heart, being able to be friends with you is a great gift from God!" Han Lin had just finished talking to the owner of a textile factory, and turned to Tang Ying and said.

These are his heartfelt words!

The more than 20 well-known figures in the industrial and commercial circles and financial circles of Shanghai introduced to him by Tang Ying tonight are a valuable asset, and if he deliberately communicates, it is not impossible to do it, but it is absolutely not so smooth, and personal connections have always been a resource that is difficult for money to buy.

"I am also impressed by your performance, a person who graduated from the police academy, who has not studied in college, talks about the topic of finance and business, and can say something and resonate with them, which is quite difficult, oh, the consul general of the German consulate Fred is here." Tang Ying looked at the person who entered the door and said.

Fred had arrived with his secretary, Yulia, and he was accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Bratton.

"Good evening, Mr. Consul General!"

"Good evening, dear Miss Tang!"

"Let me introduce you to you, this is my good friend Mr. Han Lin, who works in the military police headquarters in the capital of the Jinling government."

"Hello, Your Excellency the Consul General from the Third Reich, I am Han Lin, and I am very honored to meet you!"

"Mr. Han, it's a pleasure to meet you, this is the Bratton military attache of our consulate, with the rank of lieutenant colonel of the Imperial Army, let's sit down and talk!"

Fred had a preliminary impression of Han Lin, the other party had an understanding of German etiquette, looked at him when shaking hands, and the strength and time of the handshake were just right, and when he stretched out his hand first, the other party stretched out his hand, which is a necessary etiquette for people with relatively high status.

As for the term Third Reich, it was the first time that Nazi Führer Hitler used it publicly in three or three years, and it is still called Germany in all countries in the world, but Fred prefers to hear the Third Reich, just because of a name, his favorability towards Han Lin has increased a little.

"Since Mr. Han is working in the capital gendarmerie headquarters of your country, is this time in Shanghai for official business or private business?" Bratton asked with a smile.

"I am going to start an international trading company in Shanghai, and this time I will attend the ball, mainly Mr. Smith from the American Consulate, to introduce me to the American businessman Perez, and my company is going to import cigarettes, clothing, luxury goods, chemical products, electronic products, machinery, tires, paper, medical equipment, and western medicine from the United States, and export goods such as pig bristles, tung oil, porcelain, and tea." Han Lin said.

"Our empire and China have always maintained good trade relations, hardware products, chemical products, machinery paper and communication equipment, are very popular in the Chinese market, if you want, I can introduce you to an imperial businessman, the quality of imperial products, we are still very confident."

"As for the bristles and tung oil you intend to export, they are China's most high-quality military and civilian resources, and the empire is willing to buy them at a price higher than the market price, and we have a broader space for cooperation and will not let our partners suffer." Fred said.

I hadn't thought about how to get in touch with Han Lin, but now is a good opportunity!

Perez, an American ocean-going trader who was developing in Shanghai, and the German intelligence department in Shanghai had long known his details, but he was actually secretly engaged in smuggling business, but he was not a full-time informant.

The concept of smuggling is that the tax system in the United States is perfect, but at present, the Jinling government in China does not do it, and it does not pay taxes when it transports American goods to China for sale, which is smuggling!

In addition, even in the United States, Peres has some shady smuggling activities that violate American laws, but he has the protection of the intelligence department, and the government's law enforcement agencies are helpless against him.

"Of course, I believe in the quality of the imperial products, and in the army of the Jinling government, there are military advisers sent by your country, and a large number of weapons and ammunition have been purchased from your country, and the most powerful German armor division has been formed, and this plan is being gradually implemented."

"Thanks to the help of His Excellency the Consul General, I am of course very willing to cooperate with the merchants of the Empire, thank you for the opportunity, as the Führer becomes the supreme decision-maker and guide of the Empire, I believe that the Empire will soon break its own shackles, tear up those unequal treaties, and become the world's first-class military power!" Han Lin said with a smile.

When the three Germans present heard these words, their hearts were immediately greatly touched, and the expressions of surprise on their faces could not be concealed.

The three of them knew that the empire's military expansion plan had been released, and it would be implemented in the middle of next month, and announced to the world that this was the first step for the Führer and the empire to tear up the shackles of the "Versailles Treaty" and take the first step to expand the army.

But the problem is that Han Lin seems to have said everything, and he doesn't seem to have said anything, using a vague wording.

"Mr. Han seems to have different expectations for our empire?" Fred asked.

"This is a little personal news that I overheard this afternoon when I was chatting with friends, that when the Reich head was elected and became prime minister, there was a great deal of concern among politicians in Britain and France that the situation in Germany would be destabilizing."

"The British and French intelligence services made this judgment when they communicated with American intelligence when they communicated with American intelligence when they passed away last year's tragic death of President Hindenburg and assumed the presidency as supreme head of the Reich." Han Lin "explained" and said.
