Chapter 153 Contact with the Intelligence Circle (Part 1)
Office building of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the public settlement.
Han Lin and Tang Ying walked into the hall arm in arm. To be precise, it was Tang Ying holding Han Lin's arm. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people. This is a very normal social etiquette.
The signal sent by people is that the two people came to the dance together.
After waiting at the club for Smith to send someone the invitation to the dance, Han Lin first invited Tang Ying to have dinner at a Western restaurant, then went home and changed 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 casually found a table to sit down. There was still an hour before the official start.
Tang Ying, a socialite and socialite, knew many heavyweights among the upper-class people attending the ball. Whenever she met familiar people in the financial or business circles, she took the initiative to introduce Han Lin, and Han Lin relied on
The background of the Han family will not be rejected.
Colleagues are enemies, but there are no salt merchants attending the dance, and anyone with some common sense knows that salt trading relies on relationships and connections. If you don't have some skills and abilities, you will never get quotas and sales rights. So, we know each other.
There's no harm in doing it.
"I must say sincerely that being able to be friends with you is a great gift from God!" Han Lin just finished talking to the owner of a textile factory and turned to Tang Ying and said.
This is what he said from the bottom of his heart!
The more than twenty well-known figures in Shanghai's industrial, commercial and financial circles that Tang Ying introduced to him tonight are a valuable asset. It's not impossible for him to make contacts deliberately, but it will definitely not be so smooth.
Relationship has always been a resource that money cannot buy.
"Your performance also impressed me. It is not easy for a person who graduated from the police academy and never went to college to talk about topics in the financial and industrial and commercial circles and be able to speak meaningfully and resonate with them.
, Oh, the Consul General of the German Consulate, Frederic, is here." Tang Ying said as she looked at the people entering the door.
Fred came 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 to you. This is my good friend Mr. Han Lin, who works at the Military Police Headquarters in the capital of Jinling Government."
"Hello, Mr. Consul General from the Third Reich, I am Han Lin. It is a great honor to meet you!"
"Mr. Han, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is Bratton Attaché from our consulate, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Imperial Army. Let's sit down and talk!"
Frederic had a preliminary impression of Han Lin. The other party was familiar with German etiquette. He looked at him when shaking hands, and the strength and time of the handshake were just right. He also waited for Han Lin to extend his hand before the other party extended his hand. This was a sign of status.
For taller people, necessary etiquette.
As for the term "Third Reich", it was first publicly used by the Nazi leader Hitler in 1933. It is still called Germany in other countries around the world. However, Fred prefers to hear the term "Third Reich", just because of the name.
His affection for Han Lin increased a little.
"Since Mr. Han works at the Military Police Headquarters in your country's capital, is this visit to Shanghai for official business or private business?" Bratton asked with a smile.
"I plan to open an international trading company in Shanghai. This time I attended the dance, mainly Mr. Smith from the U.S. Consulate, who wanted to introduce American businessman Perez to me. My company plans to import cigarettes, clothing materials, and luxury goods from the United States.
Chemical products, electronic products, machinery, tires, paper, medical equipment and Western medicines and other commodities are exported, and commodities such as bristles, tung oil, porcelain and tea are exported," said Han Lin.
"Our empire has always maintained good trade relations with China. Hardware products, chemical products, machinery, paper and communication equipment are all very popular in the Chinese market. If you are willing, I can introduce you to an empire businessman and the quality of the empire's products.
, we are still very confident.”
"As for the bristles and tung oil you plan to export, they are China's most important resources for military and civilian use. The empire is willing to purchase them at a price higher than the market price. We have a broader space for cooperation and will not let our partners suffer." Ferey
De said.
I haven't thought about how to get in touch with Han Lin, but now is a good opportunity!
The German intelligence agency in Shanghai has long known about Perez, an American ocean-going trading businessman who developed in Shanghai. He is actually engaged in smuggling business secretly, but he is not a full-time informant. Han Lin's cooperation with him may indeed be
Smuggling business.
The concept of smuggling is that the United States has a perfect tax system, but the current Jinling government in China is not good at it. It transports American goods to China for sale without paying taxes. This is smuggling!
In addition, even in the United States, Perez engaged in some shady smuggling activities that violated U.S. laws. However, he had the protection of the intelligence agencies and the government's law enforcement agencies were helpless against him.
"Of course I believe in the quality of the empire's products. The Jinling government's army includes military advisors sent by your country. It also purchased a large number of weapons and ammunition from your country to form the most powerful German armorers. This plan is gradually progressing
Under implementation."
"Thanks to the help provided by His Excellency the Consul General, I am of course very willing to cooperate with the imperial businessmen. Thank you for the opportunity. As the head of state becomes the highest 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 top military power!" Han Lin said with a smile.
When the three Germans present heard these words, they were greatly touched in their hearts, and the surprised expressions on their faces could not be concealed.
The three of them knew that the empire's military expansion plan had been released and would be implemented in the middle of next month. They announced to the world that this was the first step for the head of state and the empire to tear up the constraints of the "Contract of Versailles" and take the first step to expand the military and become a powerful nation.
As the empire's top secret information, how did Han Lin, who was far away in China, know about it?
But the problem is that Han Lin seems to have said everything, but also seems to have said nothing, using a vague wording.
"Mr. Han seems to have different expectations for our empire?" Fred asked.
"This is some private news I overheard while chatting with friends this afternoon. The head of the empire was elected and became prime minister. Politicians in Britain, France and other countries have great concerns and believe that the situation in Germany will produce unstable factors.
."
"President Hindenburg unfortunately passed away last year, and he took over as president and became the supreme head of the empire. The British and French intelligence agencies made this judgment when communicating with the American intelligence agencies." Han Lin "explained"
said.
