Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 569 Gao Yongfu who got his wish II

More than three years ago, De Bruyne was unwilling to be a military attache at the German Consulate in Harbin. He racked his brains to return to Germany, hoping to realize his dream of becoming a great general in the army.

But now he came back here again, looking tired and even in a trance.

The two old friends who hadn't seen each other for several years reunited and just looked at each other without any more enthusiastic actions.

"De Bruyne, you are much older than when you left." Schultz said with emotion.

"If you know what I've been through, you won't be surprised." De Bruyne replied with a wry smile.

"Let's go, I'll invite you out for a drink." Schultz invited.

De Bruyne nodded and followed Schultz out of the office.

The two sat down in a tavern not far from the German consulate.

Schultz was about to wave for a bottle of wine, but De Bruyne said first: "A bottle of vodka!"

"How did you get here from Germany?" Schultz asked curiously.

"In the submarine, I lay on top of the cipher machine and precision bearings for two months. These things are used to exchange the natural rubber of the Japanese." De Bruyne replied.

"In two months, I was only able to climb outside for a few nights to get some air, and the rest of the time I stayed in the stinking submarine. I was going crazy!" De Bruyne complained.

"But even this is much better than me staying on the battlefield. It's really terrible." De Bruyne continued.

"You have been promoted, from major to lieutenant colonel." Schultz said, pointing to De Bruyne's epaulettes.

"Yeah, this is the head of state's reward for hanging thousands of guerrillas." De Bruyne's tone was full of sarcasm.

"I led a regiment behind the army group to deal with the guerrillas who sabotaged the railway and attacked the convoy. All the guerrillas I caught were executed by me. In order to make an example, many people were hanged on trees by my order. A mummy," De Bruyne continued.

Schultz felt disgusted when he heard this, and he barely suppressed his hatred of De Bruyne.

"There were dead bodies everywhere on the battlefield. The Germans and the people from the northern powers overlapped. At first it was the smell of blood and then the stench of corpses. I was really going crazy!" De Bruyne said.

After saying this, he hastily poured a glass of vodka into his mouth.

"Who do you think will win in the end?" Schultz asked.

This is his biggest concern.De Bruyne had just come off the battlefield, and Schultz wanted to know his judgment.

Hearing Schultz's question, De Bruyne was silent.

He poured himself another glass of vodka and drank it with his head up, before replying in a low voice: "It's not April [-], and now the two sides are fighting a war of attrition. Even if one German soldier can exchange for four or five soldiers from the northern powers, we can do it." I can’t afford it. What’s more, these damn Russians are now fighting us desperately with aid from the United States. At least it doesn’t look as optimistic as it was in [-], and it is difficult for Germany to win.”

Schultz bowed his head and took a sip of his wine and did not speak again.

De Bruyne suddenly leaned in and whispered to Schultz: "We set up an intelligence station in Shanghai in [-], and there is also a monitoring team there. I want to send you there. You can go to Macau with your documents. There There is also our intelligence team. Go and see the situation first. If the situation is not good in the future, we can board a ship from Macau and go to South America. I also have many friends there.”

"Is this what your father arranged in advance?" Schultz asked.

"Yes, he told me when I said goodbye to him in Berlin. Of course, he was more pessimistic than me," De Bruyne replied.

"I'm used to living here, besides, I still have a wife and children, I don't want to leave here for the time being." Schultz replied.

"I know you have written several articles praising the Japanese and Manchukuo, so the Japanese treat you well now. But what if the war fails in the future? At that time, the Japanese will not care about you at all." Debrau En said.

"It seems that there are still a few years before the war will be decided. Let's talk about it then." Schultz replied.

The two drank and talked until the evening before breaking up.

Schultz came home and saw Hannah and said: "De Bruyne has finally arrived in Harbin. Today I chatted with him all afternoon. We will have another source of intelligence in the future."

If De Bruyne arrives half a year earlier, the search for spies lurking in the Red Army may find clues from De Bruyne.

"He wants me to go to Shanghai. If Germany fails in the future, let us escape to South America with him." Schultz continued.

"How did you answer him?" Hannah asked.

"Of course I can't leave here! It's impossible for my superiors to agree to my leaving here. Let's wait here until the final victory." Schultz replied.

Hannah hesitated for a while and said, "Schultz, don't you know? The superior is very dissatisfied with some of your behaviors."

"Of course I know, but how much valuable information have we provided to our superiors in the past few years? History does not judge winners and heroes." Schultz replied.

Hannah walked away silently without saying anything else.

Taro Hemoto was sent by Ono to find the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.

Taro Kawamoto was in charge of the accounts of the grain warehouse, and this was the first time he had never been recruited to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.

Kawamoto Taro walked into Ono Dahiro's office, and Ono Dahiro put a letter on his desk.

"Did you write this?" Ono Tahiro asked.

Taro Kawamoto looked at the handwriting on the envelope and shook his head, "No, how can I write in Chinese?"

"Who is it if it's not you? Qian Xiaobao and you should know about the things written in the letter. This letter is to report to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army that Qian Xiaobao accepted bribes in Shanghai. Naturally, he couldn't have written it himself." Then it can only be written by you." Ono Tahiro said.

"I really didn't write it, but I generally know who wrote this letter. The benefits Qian Xiaobao received from transporting medicinal materials to Shanghai in the past two years have been handed over to me after returning. Once in Shanghai, the price of medicinal materials has risen a lot along with the prices, and it has never caused the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department to suffer." Taro Kawamoto said.

Taro Hemoto listened to Qian Xiaobao's orders outside, but he also had the responsibility to secretly monitor Qian Xiaobao.

Then Taro Kawamoto told all about the envy of Fei Fei, the captain of the Neptune who saw Qian Xiaobao get the benefits from Zhang Xinzhai with a telescope.

"Now Manchuria is full of this kind of villain who is jealous of money! But he actually wants to go to the Pacific Ocean to make contributions to the Great Japanese Empire. This must satisfy him!" Ono Tahiro said.
