Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 61
Schultz walked into a special city park downtown.This small park with a size of only tens of mu is a good place for quiet in Harbin.

Stepping over the small bridge to the island in the middle of the lake, Schultz sat on a bench.Pretending to admire the scenery, Schultz observed the passing pedestrians.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a robe came over with a small suitcase.

"Sir, what time is it?" the middle-aged man asked.

Schultz raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and replied, "Five twenty."

He purposely spoke for an extra 10 minutes.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly to greet him and then sat beside him, placing the small suitcase between them.

He took out the metal cigarette case and opened it, and the middle-aged man handed the case to Schultz.

There were only three cigarettes in the pack, and Schultz said thank you and reached for the middle one.

Taking out the lighter in his pocket, Schultz first lit his own cigarette, and then hurriedly lit the cigarette for the middle-aged man as if he just remembered.

It is impolite to do so.

"Why hasn't the pianist arrived yet?" Schultz asked, taking a puff of cigarette and looking into the distance.

He meant the telegraph operator.

"The Japanese are too strict and blocked outside." The middle-aged man whispered.

"Now you can only operate it by yourself. The organization has found an old product from Connecticut for you to use." The middle-aged man said.

Schultz glanced at the small suitcase and said, "So small? If only I could put up an antenna 30 meters high."

"A simple antenna can only transmit tens of kilometers. It will be forwarded to you after being received by other intelligence stations. Pay attention to the sending time!" The middle-aged man replied.

Schultz could only nod helplessly.Having a transmitter by your side adds to the danger.

"There is still a sum of money in the box. The organization wants you to integrate into the expatriates in Harbin as soon as possible. The focus is on the Russian expats!" The middle-aged man said while looking into the distance as if admiring the scenery.

"In recent years, the Japanese have set up various anti-Soviet organizations among the Russians in the Northeast. I heard that they also recruited young Russians to set up three troops. The Harbin Army, the Hailar Army and the Hengdaohezi Army. The organization believes that this is not the same It’s just an ordinary unit, but an intelligence unit. You need to find out the situation of this unit as soon as possible. There must be someone among the Russians in Harbin who knows.” The middle-aged man continued.

"In order to carry out the work better, you can develop a few peripheral intelligence agents. Don't worry about this matter, take it slowly. The people you develop must be absolutely reliable!" The middle-aged man finally said.

After saying this, the middle-aged man stood up, smiled and nodded goodbye to Schultz, and then walked out of the park.

Schultz used his feet to bring the small suitcase closer to him, then looked around for a while, then picked up the small suitcase and walked out of the park.

Mrs. Genet took the account book for this month handed over by the translator Zhang Lixing and glanced at it when she was about to put it down, she suddenly froze.

She was stunned when she saw the summary figures at the end of the account book.

Madame Genet put down the account book and thought about it and asked Zhang Lixing: "How many receptions did we hold in May?"

"Four times, madam." Zhang Lixing replied.

Madame Genet nodded.The number of receptions is no different from other months.The scale makes no difference either.But why the aggregated expenditure amount is much less than the previous few months.

Although Mrs. Genet didn't care about money matters.But the amount spent in May was too small, and she could tell it at a glance.

"Bring over the account books of the previous months and last year," Madame Genet ordered.

Zhang Lixing promised to go out and came back shortly after holding a stack of account books.

Madame Genet just looked at the final sum totaled from book to book.These figures are significantly higher than the spending in May.

The only change in the French Consulate in May was the change of a buyer, which saved the French Consulate a lot of money!
Madame Genet made a rough calculation in her head.If she spent the same amount last year as in May this year, the money saved in one year would be enough for her and her husband, Mr. Jenet, to buy first-class tickets from Shanghai to Marseille for two round trips!
"Cucau!" Madame Genet couldn't help saying.After saying this, she hastily closed her mouth.

Swearing is very inconsistent with her gentleman image.

This account book is recorded by Zhang Lihang.He already knew what the problem was.The former consulate was too daring to buy old money.

This time it was replaced by Qian Xiaobao, and all the previous problems were immediately exposed.

Just now Mrs. Genet scolded Lao Qian in French as a greedy pig and a light pig.

"Has Lao Qian recovered from his illness?" Madame Genet asked.

"Not yet. I heard that he was seriously ill." Zhang Lixing replied.

"Even if he is well, let him go!" said Madame Genet.This is the second time she has scolded people today.

"Is that little guy here? Let him come to see me right away." Madame Genet said with another smile in a short moment.

This kind of smiling face Zhang Xing only saw Madame Genet when she met a handsome and handsome young man at the reception.

When Zhang Lixing found Qian Xiaobao, he was joking with two Russian girls who were servants in the French consulate.

The parents of these girls fled from Russia to Northeast China around [-].So they grew up in the Northeast since they were young. The Northeast dialect is no different from that of Qian Xiaobao and they can also speak Russian.

It is his pleasure that Qian Xiaobao comes to the consulate every day to chat with these two girls in the name of learning Russian.

"Natasha, how do you say handsome in Russian? For example, what should I say if I want to say that I am handsome?" Qian Xiaobao asked with a playful smile.

"It's very simple. I'll teach you now." Natasha said with a smile.

Then she said something in Russian: I am a toad.

As soon as Natasha finished speaking, the other girl couldn't stop giggling.

Qian Xiaobao looked at Natasha vigilantly and said, "You are very bad! You are a witch who lives in a big forest and rides a broom!"

At this moment Zhang Li walked in and said to Qian Xiaobao: "Mrs. Genet wants to see you now, hurry up and follow me."

Qian Xiaobao made a funny face at the two girls and followed Zhang Lixing out.

"What's the matter? Is there another reception?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"No. Madame Genet is very satisfied with you." Zhang Lixing said.

When Madame Genet saw two people coming in, she said to them, "Come with me." After speaking, she went up to the second floor first and opened the door of a room.

This room was a small living room outside the bedroom of the Genets.

Mrs. Genet pointed to the big box like a small square table one meter high in the corner and said to Qian Xiaobao: "This thing is broken, you can take it outside to have it repaired. Once it is repaired, it will be yours."

Zhang Lixing was astonished.It was a French Thomson radio, worth a fortune even if it broke.

Listening to Zhang Lixing's translation and looking at Zhang Lixing's expression, Qian Xiaobao knew that the big square box was a good thing.

He hurriedly nodded and bowed his thanks to Mrs. Genet: "Sell it! Sell it!"
