Chapter 1107 Suspicion (please vote)

“Mr. Cheng asked me to go over and report to him.” Chang Xiaoyu hung up the phone and said to Su Zhe.

"It's Vice President Cheng." Su Zhe frowned and corrected, "Cheng Qianfan wants to be President Cheng, just wait."

Chang Xiaoyu chuckled lightly. He had just taken up his duty to patrol the police ward. Uncle Shi analyzed the complex relationships within the patrol ward for him, and mentioned that the relationship between Assistant Su and Vice President Cheng was very bad.

 Later he became friends with Su Zhe, and he clearly felt his bad attitude towards Cheng Qianfan from Su Zhe.

"Yes, Vice President Cheng." Chang Xiaoyu nodded, "Okay, you can study it yourself first, and I'll be back as soon as I can."

"I just passed by the door of the deputy chief inspector's office, and he was not in the office." Su Zhe said.

“The call came from the investigation team office of the Political Department.” Chang Xiaoyu said.

"No need to ask, it must be Cheng Qianfan who mentioned this matter in front of Peter to please the French." Su Zhe sneered and said sarcastically.

 Chang Xiaoyu smiled but said nothing.

 Vice President Cheng ordered him to patrol Masinan Road just to please the French. This is a fact.

He Chang Xiaoyu took the order and went to Masinan Road non-stop. This was also to please the commander Cheng Qianfan.

 Watching Chang Xiaoyu put on his police hat and leave, Su Zhe opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing:

He wanted to ask the two suspected Japanese spies where they were caught, but he finally stopped in time when the words came to his lips.

His seemingly unintentional inquiry just now could be regarded as a cover-up. If he asks this question again in this situation, with Chang Xiaoyu's intelligence and astuteness, it is inevitable that he will not notice anything.

Deputy Inspector Chang has a good way with people. He never offends people easily and greets everyone with a smile. This kind of person may seem harmless, but in fact Su Zhe has always been vigilant about this good friend based on principle. .

“The telegram from Marseille said that the domestic people are actually not positive about declaring war on Germany.” Peter and Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses and said in a low mood.

“After experiencing the cruelty of the European War, no ordinary people want to fight again.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.

Previously, Britain and France adopted a policy of appeasement towards Germany and made concessions step by step. In Hyoutaro Imamura’s small class, Imamura once analyzed Britain and France with him, especially focusing on France, the largest country in Europe.

The French people do not want to go to war, and are even afraid of war.

 This is the view that Imamura came to through joint analysis with him.

 The European War lasted for more than four years, with more than 30 countries participating in the war, and 1.5 billion people involved in this war, which caused huge damage to the human spirit and the entire world.

Especially in the many famous "meat grinder" battles in the European War, such as the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme, both sides suffered heavy casualties. From the charge attack to the trench defense, from the beginning, large areas of infantry died. Later, when poison gas, airplanes, and artillery were used in turn, the European War subverted everyone's understanding of war.

 For the French, even if they were the victors, the horror of the meat grinder at Verdun was like a nightmare.

Even as victorious countries, Britain and France were riddled with holes.

  After all, this war left a terrible impression on everyone.

 Hence, the Germans, as the defeated country, mobilized their troops and vowed to take revenge.

  On the contrary, people in Britain and France, as the victorious countries, became tired of the war.

 Furthermore, after the economic crisis broke out in the 'Showa Year 3', both the British and the French were plunged into the quagmire of economic crisis.

 Domestic conflicts have intensified, and ordinary people are more concerned about livelihood issues rather than horrific wars.

This is why when the Munich Conference ended and Czechoslovakia was betrayed, the people of Britain and France celebrated instead of being sad.

 For them, as long as there is no war, they can sacrifice any country.

For now, Germany invades Poland. As far as France is concerned, they do have an alliance with Poland and must fulfill the agreement to protect Poland and declare war on Germany. However, for ordinary people, the war in Poland is too much. Being far away doesn't matter to them.

"The big guys in the country have good ideas." Peter sneered, "The Germans have occupied Poland, and the aggressive Germany is bordering the Soviet Union. This is a good thing."

"To a certain extent, it is indeed a good thing." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Evil red is the enemy of the free world. If there was a war between Soviet Russia and Germany, the world would be wonderful."

Peter glanced at Cheng Qianfan. He knew that his friend had an extreme hatred of red. Therefore, if there was a war between Germany and Soviet Russia, Cheng Qianfan would be happy to see it.

Pete is not the case. He is not close to the color red, but he also has no hatred.

On the contrary, Pitt’s ancestors were workers who bravely fought to defend the Paris Commune. In a sense, Pitt’s ancestors were revolutionaries.

 Therefore, compared to the red Soviet Russia, Pitt was full of vigilance and hostility towards the Germans who were eager to rise and take revenge.

“Before signing the contract with Germany, the Soviet Russians tried to reach a more friendly relationship with us.” Peter suddenly said.

Cheng Qianfan looked at Peter in surprise, as if he was confirming that the "we" in Peter's mouth meant Britain and France?

 Pitt nodded, "Mr. Madiel participated in the Soviet Russia tour group in June."

 He said it in a self-deprecating tone.

 “Tour group?” Cheng Qianfan showed a puzzled expression.

“Three months ago, some of us were invited by Soviet Russia to visit them,” said Peter.

 In June, British and French organizations jointly sent a delegation to St. Petersburg to negotiate with Soviet Russia to discuss bilateral relations and tensions in Europe.

Soviet Russia attached great importance to this meeting and sent a military delegation of the highest standard to negotiate with the British and French representatives who came.

However, what the Soviet Russians did not expect was that Britain only sent a few air force major generals.

 France went even further and sent several generals who were about to retire and some generals from the logistics department to negotiate.

 Furthermore, during the negotiation process, Britain and France had always remained wary of Soviet Russia.

 Of course, there are historical reasons for this.

 Russia believes in the Orthodox Church and has had numerous religious conflicts with Western European Catholics.

 In history, the East Slavs launched more than thirty wars against Europe, and almost every time they were extremely cruel wars aimed at destroying the country.

 It is worth mentioning that Poland and Soviet Russia both belong to the East Slavs, but their hatred between them is deeper than the hatred between them and Germany.

 Historically, Russia divided Poland three times, and the Polish national anthem regards Dombrowski, who fought against Russia, as a people's hero, which shows how deep the feud with Russia is.

It is precisely because of this that the Poles learned that there was such a joint British and French delegation visiting Soviet Russia. They made a solemn protest to Britain and France and firmly stated:

Poland will absolutely not accept any agreement similar to an alliance between Britain, France and Soviet Russia!

 Hence, this negotiation was destined to be difficult to reach consensus from the beginning.

What surprised the Soviet Union the most was that these elderly French generals adhered to the principle that if they don't do something, they will not make mistakes, and in order to ensure that they could retire smoothly, they told the Soviet delegation when they entered the door: We can't do this. host.

This made the Soviet Union very angry and unable to make the decision. Are you here for tourism?

This delegation really came for a trip and visited Leningrad and Moscow.

Peter’s father-in-law, Mr. Madier, is also in the sightseeing tour group. He can be said to have gained the most among this group of people:

 Mr. Madiel negotiated a deal with the Soviet Russians and successfully sold the "mouldy and discarded" blankets in the French military warehouse to the Soviet Russians.

"Mr. Madier is also among that group of people?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised. After receiving the confirmation, he couldn't help but be happy, "Very good, public expense travel, cross-border travel, very good."

 He was really surprised.

If Peter hadn't accidentally told it this time, he really didn't know that Britain and France had such a secret negotiation with the Soviet Union three months ago.

Of course, judging from the traveling nature of this negotiation, the Soviet Union should have a certain degree of sincerity. However, the British and French sides seemed to be just going through the motions.

Peter then glared at Cheng Qianfan.

Cheng Qianfan was thinking. He was wondering whether he needed to report this information to Imamura Hyoutarou. Although it was only outdated information, every piece of information related to the exchanges between countries was very important, or in other words , whether the intelligence is out of date depends not only on the time when the intelligence occurred, but also whether it is first-hand intelligence that has never been obtained before!

“Don’t you always say that I am close to the Japanese?” Cheng Qianfan smiled half-heartedly, “Aren’t you afraid that I will tell the Japanese about this?”

 “It’s up to you.” Pete sneered and said.

Cheng Qianfan took a sip of red wine, looked through the goblet, and squinted at Peter.

  Why Peter told him about this incident, I'm afraid it was because he intended to inform the Japanese side about it through his mouth:

Of course, Peter didn't know that he was Kentaro Miyazaki, but he was close to the Japanese, especially Hyoutaro Imamura of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. This was no secret in the patrol room.

So, Peter deliberately told the matter to tell Imamura Hyōtaro through his mouth.

Of course, the French will not only send signals to Japan through this channel. He believes that his channel may be the most inconspicuous one among many channels.

 In short, it is a multi-pronged approach.

 As for why the French do this?

 What signal do the French want to send to Japan?

 Cheng Qianfan had some vague guesses in his mind.

He believed that by giving this intelligence message to Hyōtaro Imamura, the counselor would be able to give the most reasonable analysis of the matter from the perspective and perspective of a senior diplomat.

 Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded.

He likes to do this kind of thing the most. He can not only convey information to Imamura to show his value, but also take the opportunity to gain something from Imamura. This gain can be the knowledge of Imamura's small class, or it can be more trust in Imamura. In case of inadvertent disclosure of information.

Seeing that Cheng Qianfan understood what he meant, Peter raised his glass and clinked it to express his gratitude.

In fact, he has always been dissatisfied with the fact that his friend, who is Chinese, is very close to the Japanese. In other words, he looks down on Cheng Qianfan to some extent. However, Peter also knows that Cheng Qianfan's pro-Japanese attitude For the French Concession, it was actually quite useful, but I didn't expect that Cheng Qianfan could also play a role in matters involving countries.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the investigation team’s office.

“Second patrol deputy inspector Chang Xiaoyu was ordered to report on the work.” Chang Xiaoyu said loudly outside.

"Come in."

 …

“Very good, quick in action and powerful in doing things.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and said to Chang Xiaoyu, “He has the same demeanor as I did back then.”

 “Mr. Cheng is overly praised.” Chang Xiaoyu said happily, “How can the light of my subordinates’ fireflies dare to compare with the bright moon?”

 Speaking, Chang Xiaoyu offered cigarettes to Cheng Qianfan and Pete respectively, "However, Mr. Cheng is so complimentary, and my subordinates are so happy."

 “Hahaha.” Cheng Qianfan took the cigarette and laughed.

  He pointed at Chang Xiaoyu and said to Peter, "This is a slippery man."

Chang Xiaoyu was scolded by "Mr. Xiao Cheng". Not only was he not sad, but he looked proud.

"Check to see if there are any other crimes." Cheng Qianfan let Chang Xiaoyu light his cigarette for him, took a puff of the cigarette and said, "If it is a repeat offender, the fine will be doubled."

 “Understood.” Chang Xiaoyu said.

 In the patrol room, or especially in the central patrol room, arresting people is not the purpose, but just a means.

 Watching Chang Xiaoyu salute and leave, Cheng Qianfan blew out a faint smoke from his nose.

Chang Xiaoyu did not report the discovery of the "strange instrument" to him. He did not know for the time being that this was because Chang Xiaoyu did not know what the thing was and did not pay attention to it, so he forgot to report it.

Or maybe Chang Xiaoyu deliberately pretended to have forgotten to report?

 Cheng Qianfan prefers the latter.

He had already received a secret report from his subordinates. As soon as Chang Xiaoyu came back, he called Su Zhe to go to the office of the deputy inspector of the second patrol:

It was not that he was monitoring Chang Xiaoyu, but that the conflict between him and Su Zhe was well known to everyone. Regarding Su Zhe's movements, there were many people in the patrol room who were willing to secretly inform "Mr. Xiao Cheng".

 Cheng Qianfan knew that Su Zhe had studied at Shanghai Telecommunications College and was proficient in radio.

So, you can guess what happened when Chang Xiaoyu quietly called Su Zhe to his office.

This Chang Xiaoyu is dishonest.

Cheng Qianfan chuckled. There was no simple person among his men, or to be precise, in the entire patrol room. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Chang Xiaoyu didn’t mention it, but Cheng Qianfan was blissfully unaware of the existence of that ‘strange instrument’.

 …

“No. 62, Masinan Road.”

Back to the deputy chief inspector's office, Cheng Qianfan had a solemn expression, holding a cigarette between his fingers and thinking seriously.

 The reason why he was so cautious about this address was because No. 62, Masinan Road, had previously been the residence of Comrades Peng and Ou.

 After Comrades Peng and Ou evacuated Shanghai, the bungalow here changed to three tenants.

Who is currently renting this house?

 Cen Xu.

A man in his thirties wearing gold-rimmed glasses. This man is the Chinese manager of a German company.

Cheng Qianfan’s mind immediately came to mind about the current owner of No. 62 Masinan Road.

Nohara was caught by the patrol under the back window of No. 62, Masinan Road.

So, Nohara has locked No. 62, Masinan Road through the radio locator?

Or is Nohara still searching based on the radio wave locator, but he just happened to come under the rear window of No. 62 Masinan Road. In fact, it only means that the radio wave is nearby, and it does not mean that No. 62 Masinan Road is targeted?

 Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought.

 …

 Ma Sinan Road.

 A car drove slowly down the street.

"No. 62, Masinan Road?" Kikube Hiroo's eyes passed over this bungalow and the surrounding houses, and he fell into thinking.

Nohara and the two of them were arrested by the patrol room. This incident was seen by other special agents of the Special High School. They did not dare to say anything and immediately called Kikube Kano to report.

Hiroyuki Kikube was in Xiafei District at this time personally directing a group of people to use radio wave locators to search. When he learned that something happened here, he immediately came to the nearest place.

PS: It’s the last day of the month. Do you still have monthly passes? Thanks.
