At the door of the store not far from the opening site, there were two guys standing with probes probing their brains, and the plainclothes gendarmes of the SWAT team naturally discovered them, but they didn't do anything else, so they didn't bother to take care of them.

However, a spy from the reconnaissance department sent by Ma Xiaotian in Jinling District was staring at the two people not far away, for a very simple reason, they were the eyes and ears of the Jinling Coal Federation sent to monitor the opening of the coal company.

"Now we are in big trouble, I really didn't expect that Mr. Song and Han Lin have such a close relationship, and they can come to congratulate in person, we hurriedly called to report, it is estimated that the method of asking Minister Kong to come forward to suppress it will not work!" The guy on the right whispered.

"Since people dare to set foot in the coal market, they are naturally not afraid of the small actions made by our Coal Federation, this time, the coal market in Jinling is going to change!" The guy on the left said.

Hearing that someone wanted to enter the coal market in Jinling, the people of the Coal Federation immediately became anxious and contacted the social bureau and chamber of commerce of the municipal government to prevent the other party from obtaining a business license.

However, the Social Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce could not withstand the pressure of the secret service at all, and were worried that they would be dragged into the water by the Coal Federation, so they obediently applied for the license, and the Coal Federation lost the first battle.

Immediately afterwards, the Coal Federation privately contacted Gu Zhenglun and wanted to ask him to intervene, but Gu Zhenglun refused, Han Lin was the deputy director of the Military Police Headquarters, and he had no reason to help outsiders suppress his own people, which would ruin his reputation.

Seeing that the coal company was about to be established, the Coal Federation had to take the last step and plan to ask Minister Kong for help, which was a killer weapon at the bottom of the box, and now it seems that it is useless!

Minister Kong and Mr. Song's status in the Jinling government is half a catty, no one can help anyone, for the sake of the coal federation of walnuts and jujubes, Minister Kong will not come forward.

Han Li made an enthusiastic speech on behalf of the coal company, and then invited Song Ziwen, Gu Zhenglun and others to cut the ribbon on stage, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers rang out, and Jinling Longsheng Coal Co., Ltd. was formally established.

This reception banquet was set in the most luxurious Capital Hotel, Han Lin chartered the entire banquet hall to entertain the guests, the expenses were naturally paid by Blue Ocean Spring, and the company also received an astonishing amount of gifts, calculated to earn tens of thousands, a model of killing two birds with one stone.

Song Ziwen also came to the hotel, sat for half an hour, drank a few glasses of wine, and then left early, and everyone present understood his style of doing things. The big figures of the Jinling government are already very good to be able to attend the banquet, and it is inevitable that the price will drop a little when they sit down from beginning to end.

The banquet held at noon, the guests who came to participate were all coping, and they did not dare to let go in the face of delicious food and wine, and it ended in an hour and a half.

"Han Lin, what news did you get from Japan?" Bratton asked.

After Han Lin saw off the guests, he drove with him to the famous Xuanwu Lake, and the two talked while enjoying the beautiful scenery, which was very safe.

"Two pieces of news, one from the United States, two days later, the League of Nations will condemn the Third Reich's unilateral tearing up of the Treaty of Versailles, which has no practical significance."

"The second piece of news is that I have received top-secret information from the Japanese side, that the Japanese North China Garrison Army Command in Jincheng will soon direct and stage a series of assassinations on its own, with the aim of blaming the intelligence department of the Jinling government and using this as a pretext for invading North China, and the situation in North China will soon undergo major changes." Han Lin said.

At present, the German Government and the Jinling Government are working closely in the military field, exchanging a large number of advanced German weapons and equipment for the Jinling Government's bristle tung oil and rare metals.

"What do you think will be the result of this assassination incident directed and staged by the Japanese side?" Bratton asked.

"The Jinling government is not ready for war, the advanced weapons and equipment of the empire have not been delivered, and the German armament division is not formed, in the case that the strength is inferior to the Japanese army, the Jinling government will choose restraint and retreat, and the entire Hebei Province in North China will be controlled by the Japanese, and such a result will also make the Japanese government's ambition to annex China further inflated." Han Lin said.

Germany's help to China, as well as related cooperation, all originated from its own interests, but it is undeniable that this kind of exchange, objectively speaking, played a certain role in the Jinling government after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance against Japanese aggression in the early stage of the war of resistance.

On the contrary, the British and American governments, on which the Jinling government had high hopes, chose to indulge Japan's aggression at this time, and on the premise that their own interests were not affected, Britain and the United States had no basis for cooperation with the Jinling government at all.

Although there is no fundamental conflict of interest between Germany in Europe and China in Asia, the changes in the situation in China are also the focus of the German government's attention.

Through cooperation with the Jinling government, the strategic resources that Germany has acquired are crucial to the development of the armed forces, so Germany's foreign intelligence department has the responsibility to grasp the information on the dynamics of the situation between China and Japan.

"The information you provided to the empire is undoubtedly accurate, and it has always been very timely, and it is not possible to grasp the changes in the current situation in time, this is my dereliction of duty, thank you for your efforts, I will send a message to the empire later." Bratton said.

"This time, if I invite you to Jinling, I will pay you a reward, and the intelligence will not be charged separately!" Han Lin said with a smile.

"Your thinking is completely wrong, the fruits of your labor must be reasonably rewarded, I came to Jinling for the mission of the empire, it is my job, and it is also for our friendship to be deeper, how do you think the Americans will react when they get this information?" Bratton said.

"If you pay attention, your vigilance will increase, the United States has a great interest in China, and they are afraid that the Japanese will damage this interest, but as for the actual actions, no, because the current transaction between the US government and Japan has also brought huge economic benefits!" Han Lin said.

It is a dream to expect that the Americans will be bound by sanctions because of Japan's actions!

Thirty-one members of the United States Congress once jointly pointed out to the Roosevelt administration: We say that Japan has two allies, Germany and Italy. In fact, we are Japan's best allies. Anyone would have no doubt that we are actively participating in Japan's war in China.

On May 4, 1938, at a gathering of 5,000 people in Los Angeles, US Congressman Nick said: Please note that when Japan is currently killing one million people in China, 544,000 people are killed by American capital as accomplices.

Regardless of the considerations of these congressmen's attitudes, it is confirmed from the side that the US government has always been an accomplice of the Japanese invaders in the early stage of the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance!
