Chapter 213: Nuoya's Shadow
Jilinsi wasn't a fool either; knowing the Japanese had some scheme, he laughed it off to smooth things over, and the conversation among the few people paused temporarily.
"I knew those German guys wouldn't sell the cipher machine." Seeing Jilinsi and his group off, Tufeyuan Er was displeased.
"In that case, we'll buy more blueprints."
"Rifles, machine guns, tanks, aircraft—we must thoroughly study their weapons, find their weaknesses, so we can deal with them later!"
"Wait a moment, then continue talking with them, so they don't try to raise the price on us."
Tengyuan Jintai's expression was solemn; he stood straight and bowed deeply.
The German guys A Ren't stupid either.
It's quite clear what little Japan has in mind.
"A bunch of greedy fellows, short in stature but with huge ambitions," Jilinsi said coldly.
"They still want our weapon data; we must not let Japan win this battle easily—we must find a way to make their fight harder!"
"Best to leave them half-dead, forever stuck in the war mire of China!"
"At least before we conquer Europe, the Asian theater must be like this."
"Have the identities of the remaining SS members been arranged properly?"
Nuoya said: "Please rest assured, everything has been arranged. They will appear in Songhu as merchants; their identities are absolutely safe, with no problems whatsoever."
"We've learned that the Huamao Hotel is the largest intelligence exchange hub in Songhu."
"The agents will go and monitor all intelligence appearing inside the hotel."
Jilinsi nodded satisfactorily: "Very good, Nuoya; you must remember that here we must act cautiously, and our actions must not be ostentatious."
"Grasp the Japanese's movements as much as possible!"
"I understand!" Nuoya nodded.
Suddenly.
A puff-puff-puff sound rang in Nuoya's ears.
Again?
Nuoya's face changed; he furtively touched his own buttocks.
None?
The puff-puff-puff sound rang again,
Following the sound, he saw that several deflated plastic balls were flying wildly in the air, then fell to the ground.
It scared me half to death.
I thought it had started again!
"Nuoya, your complexion looks off and your voice is weak—are you sick?" Jilinsi sized him up and asked.
Recalling yesterday's embarrassment, Nuoya hurriedly said: "Nothing, I just arrived in a new environment and am a bit unaccustomed to the local conditions."
Jilinsi no longer paid attention to it.
Nuoya quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at Jilinsi with lingering fear.
He dared not say that he had developed a shadow over the puff-puff-puff sound.
"Good thing nothing went wrong today."
"Otherwise I would surely be secretly executed."
"It's all that damned guy's fault; if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this!"
Compared to Nuoya's inner ruthlessness, Chen Yongren was more interested in those SS agents.
When he had free time, he would go to the Huamao Hotel to grasp the specific actions of the German agents.
Both countries harbored their own ulterior motives.
Even as allies, they each thought about how to trip up the other.
Once they each resolved their own troubles, they would surely fall out again over interests.
The enemy's enemy is a friend.
Chen Yongren felt this was an opportunity that could be exploited.
Who knows, there might be some unexpected surprise.
……
"Chen Sang." Tengyuan Linai patted Chen Yongren's hand on the back and said, "Their talk is over; let's go greet them quickly."
Chen Yongren nodded.
"Father!" Tengyuan Youzi quickly walked to Tengyuan Jintai's front, then said to Tufeyuan Er, "Uncle Tufeyuan."
Chen Yongren said: "General, Director Tengyuan!"
"Youzi, you've come?" Seeing his daughter, Tengyuan Jintai smiled happily; upon seeing Chen Yongren, he startled, obviously not expecting to meet Chen Yongren here.
"Father, Chen Sang was invited by me to attend the ball." Tengyuan Youzi blushed.
Tufeyuan Er wore a smile; he could tell that Youzi's feelings toward Chen Yongren were different.
Tengyuan Jintai also realized his daughter seemed to have taken a liking to Chen Yongren?
Upon further thought,
"If it's Chen Yongren, that wouldn't be so bad."
"This guy is quite capable, loyal to the army, and has saved my life."
"If nurtured, Chen Yongren will surely become my right-hand man."
"Most importantly, he's good at making money!"
"Besides, his appearance isn't bad either; he could just be used to improve the family genes."
"Just give him a Japanese identity, and he'll be Japanese, right?"
Damn.
Still improving genes?
This old devil thinks he's breeding?
Chen Sang. Fujiwara Kinta looked at Chen Yongren.
Director Fujiwara! Chen Yongren stood up.
Your task today is to make Yuko happy and satisfy all her demands. Fujiwara Kinta joked, "If she's even a little unhappy, I'll hold you responsible."
Father. Fujiwara Yuko lowered her head, blushing.
After hearing that, she felt relieved; her father didn't oppose her being with Chen Yongren, and even showed some support.
Chen Yongren was straightforward, standing up and saying, "Yes, I understand!"
Go have fun, you young people; you don't need to keep me company anymore. Fujiwara Kinta said.
Mm, goodbye Father, goodbye Uncle Tsuchihara. Fujiwara Yuko waved her hand.
Chen Yongren nodded slightly and left with Fujiwara Yuko.
Not long after, Chen Yongren saw Jilin Si and the others gathering again.
Chen Yongren took Fujiwara Yuko's hand, pretending to stroll around the banquet hall, while actually paying attention to their negotiations.
Finally.
Germany and Japan reached an agreement.
Japan and Germany will engage in military cooperation.
Germany provided Japan with some important weapon, aircraft, tank design drawings and ideas.
Japan likewise.
And Japan is qualified to purchase Germany's latest weapons and equipment; Germany is also qualified to access the weapons Japan is secretly developing and to give suggestions for improvement.
Germany and Japan will strengthen military and technical exchanges to help improve the military technical level of their allies.
After the agreement was reached.
Chen Yongren then saw them heading toward the back of the consulate.
They had already walked out of the range of the wind-favoring ear.
Through insight, Chen Yongren learned that Jilin Si was preparing to take out some weapon drawings to share with the Japanese, letting them have a taste of sweetness.
At the back of the consulate, Chen Yongren had been once; there were devil guards stationed, and regular means definitely couldn't get in.
Chen Yongren was thinking when he heard a voice coming from behind him.
Chen!
A woman, speaking German, with just a surname.
Aside from Diane this German lass, there was no one else.
Turning around, Diane, wearing a beige dress, quickly walked up to Chen Yongren: "Chen, what a coincidence, I never expected to run into you here!"
Fujiwara Yuko beside him, like a small wild cat guarding its food, blocked Chen Yongren's front, warily watching Diane.
The two women met again; although they couldn't understand each other's language, their eyes were about to spark.
