Chapter 232: Taking the Opportunity to Play Three
"The reason why I participated in the investigation of the murder case of the Second Security Regiment last time was because the victim had a background in the Military Commission, and the Military Law Section of the Security Department was a little brainless and was reported to the conclusion of the case. I happened to be in Shanghai at the time, and on behalf of the Military Police Headquarters, I expressed an attitude that the Second Division of the People's Investigation and Coordination Bureau had its own branch in Shanghai, and it was not the turn of the Military Police Headquarters to dictate the work of others. โ
"I came to Shanghai this time, purely to see the progress of the club's construction, during my absence, I have always entrusted Miss Tang Ying to keep an eye on the construction for me, I also want to express my gratitude to her, as for the meeting with Smith just now, just to talk about business matters, by the way to seek his help."
"Kagesa-kun may know that I have a trading company in Shanghai, and I have business relations with American businessmen and German businessmen, and I may have to come to Shanghai often in the future, so in addition to this club, I am going to find a place to live in the concession area."
"Smith has a wide range of connections in the British and American business circles, and he can provide me with suitable housing at a more favorable price, and the housing prices in the concession area are ridiculously high, and even I feel a little distressed." Han Lin said.
Talking about business? Buying a house? If I believe your nonsense, then I will see the hell alive!
"The relationship between Han Jun and Smith has developed very rapidly, and now it is getting closer and closer." Shadow Zuo Zhen Zhao said with something in his words.
"I know that Smith has a special status, and he didn't hide it, the intelligence officer of the American intelligence department in the consulate! But China is not a potential threat to the United States, on the contrary, the United States has huge economic interests in China, so the US government pays attention to the major events of the Jinling government, and does not pay attention to specific details. โ
"Kagesa-kun should be clear that the current political climate in the United States is one of isolationism, which is encouraged and promoted in both economic and cultural aspects, but strictly prohibits political, military, and diplomatic cooperation, and that the United States not only sells strategic materials to the Japanese Empire, but also supplies strategic materials to Germany in a steady stream."
"Some people may think that my cooperation with Smith is a kind of intelligence cooperation, which is very normal, and his identity is easy to trigger this kind of speculation. But to tell you the truth, I don't have much intelligence value to him, and the focus is different. โ
"What's more, the U.S. government's eyes are now mainly focused on the changes in Europe, especially Germany's recent big moves, and there is no time to be distracted by Asian affairs, and there is no need for Kage Sa-kun to interpret it excessively." Han Lin said with a smile.
On the surface, he was explaining that the relationship between himself and Smith was just a cooperative relationship of commercial interests, and the United States, unlike Japan, had always coveted China's land and resources, and also sent troops to invade China and forcibly occupy the Northeast, but Kagesa Zhenzhao certainly did not believe it.
The officers of the US intelligence services actually meddled in business matters, and also introduced a partner, Perez, an informant of the US intelligence services, which is very abnormal behavior.
Therefore, he brought the topic to the intelligence side, pointing out the recent changes in Germany, coupled with his contacts with German intelligence services, and trade cooperation with German businessmen, which further confirmed the existence of a deeper intelligence relationship between him and Smith, which in China is called more and more black.
"Smith and you talked about major events in Germany?" Kagesa asked.
"Yes, the U.S. government is very concerned about the Hitler government in Germany, which tore up the Treaty of Versailles, implemented universal compulsory military service, restored the establishment of the air force, strengthened the construction of the navy, expanded the army to 500,000 people, increased the number of armored units, and began to equip itself with long-range heavy artillery."
"How to say, the US government is reluctant to interfere in European affairs because of its own climate, but this does not mean that they do not attach importance to the rise of Germany, whether the Hitler government's goal is Europe or the Soviet Union, it will have a great impact on the world pattern."
"From the point of view of the Western countries, they would prefer a war between Germany and the Soviet Union, but often things change without their will. The current yoke around Germany's neck was not created by the Soviet Union, and the Rhine Demilitarized Zone under the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Convention remained a shame for Germany. โ
"After the German Fรผhrer Hitler came to power, the changes in Germany are obvious to all, and tearing up the "Versailles Peace Treaty" is a dangerous signal, listening to Smith's meaning, Britain and France and other countries are worried about the outbreak of war and have begun to prepare." Han Lin said.
Kage Zuo Zhenzhao looked at Han Lin's eyes, full of surprise, of course he knew a series of changes in Germany, but the conversation between Smith and Han Lin also gave two valuable information, one is that the US government will not meddle in European affairs, and the other is that Britain and France and other countries have begun to unite to deal with changes in Germany.
It seems that Smith's initial contact with Han Lin may not have been due to intelligence work, but Han Lin and the German Consulate in Shanghai had contacts later, and it was really incorporated into Smith's intelligence work, and the US government has increased its attention to the changes in the German government.
"Thank you Han Jun for your honesty, Han Jun treats me as a true friend, I salute you!" Kagesa Zhenzhao raised the ceramic wine glass and said.
"I have always admired the Japanese Empire, and I also hope to be able to become friends with military elites like Kage Sa-kun, Gao Pan, thanks to Kage Sa-kun not disliking me and treating me as a friend, it's nothing more than some chats, there is really no need to hide it." Han Lin also raised his glass and said.
After all, they are not professional agents, and they are also a little young, and they do not have a good understanding of the value of intelligence work!
Although it is a private conversation between Smith and you, the information in it is quite important to the intelligence department, and if I report these two pieces of information to the military department, I will definitely be able to get the appreciation of the bigwigs, this is the international intelligence of the United States and Germany, including Europe!
But Kagezo Zhenzhao's heart was very happy, Han Lin called him the elite of the empire's army, which was also the level he had always considered himself.
"Han Jun, let me give you a suggestion, you can talk to the people of the German consulate in Shanghai, what you just said, it is good for you, I know that you are not a professional intelligence officer, so you are not very sensitive to the value of information, but let me tell you, these words can be of great help to the German intelligence department, and they will recognize you as a friend for this." Kagesa said.
A very important reason why the spy agencies stationed in Shanghai want to develop Han Lin is that Han Lin has contacts with the diplomatic institutions of the United States and Germany, which is not something that ordinary people can do, so he believes that Han Lin must firmly seize the opportunity in front of him.
