Chapter 1281 Resolution
Ma Qianju asked: "Hale, how much information do we have?"

"According to Lando, Paul called Hale to help him temporarily. Lando thinks that he has been in the arms business, a mercenary or a terrorist." Xu replied, "It is said that this person is very unfriendly."

"I'm done asking, please continue." Ma Qianzhu said.

"According to the prisoner's confession, when Mr. Paul first arrived, he offered to cooperate with the Zheng family to set up an arms factory on Gulangyu Island. For this reason, he showed several samples of firearms to the Zheng family—the display was confidential, and the prisoners did not know the Zheng family's What did the leaders of the Zheng family see, but after this display, the attitude of the Zheng family towards him has changed drastically. It is likely to be some kind of weapon with subversive effects."

"I have a question." Qian Shuiting questioned, "Just now in the PPT, some equipment that exceeds the average level of this time and space is displayed. I think this is quite incredible. You must know that we can build an industry of this scale in the Manpower and materials are prepared, if Hale is an individual, how can he have such a great ability?"

"I once consulted several veterans of the Manufacturing Director Department on this issue, and the answer they gave me was this," Xu Xu took out a document and read out: "Judging from the objects and architectural photos currently handed over to us for research, Compared with the 17th century, the technical content has certain advantages, but the overall level of application is very rough, and the materials and craftsmanship used in the construction of these objects did not exceed the level of the 1630s."

"Do you mean that Hale's technology is relatively crude?"

"Yes, that's what the elders of the manufacturing director department really mean." Xu said, "I asked them to evaluate the subject of 'if only one person can do this', and the answer I gave was: yes. The premise It is driven by sufficient manpower and material resources. Please allow me to continue to read some of the passages:”

"As far as the technical level is concerned, the technical details required to realize the windmill and reverberatory furnace are not complicated, but in terms of the technology and material level of this time and space, it is bound to require more manpower and material resources."

"So, Mr. Hale is still an engineering expert?" Qian Shuiting felt a little unbelievable.For a "red neck" like him, he is already a person with strong hands-on ability in the United States, but it is okay for his brothers to use modern equipment to build a Kentucky rifle, and it is obviously beyond their capabilities to build a reverberatory furnace .

"Probably yes." Li Ke nodded, "Although no products that reflect his true technical level have been seized yet. Judging from the materials he has mastered, the things he can produce by organizing manpower and material resources should be far inferior to ours. Products manufactured under the system, but it should have exceeded the technical level that should be available in this time and space."

"To put it bluntly, he can make a good flintlock gun, but he can't make a minigun. Is that what you mean?"

"Regarding this issue, this is what the veteran of the industry said. Please allow me to read another relevant document." Xu Xu read, "As far as the manufacture of individual weapons, tools or equipment is concerned, we believe that this traverser has With the input of cost, it is possible to manufacture the Minie rifle, but he does not have the ability to mass-produce it-the safety and durability of this Minie rifle will also have big problems..."

"Based on the above analysis, we can draw a conclusion that Hale did not die in the storm. On the contrary, he survived and turned into a Japanese Chechitanist, Mr. Paul, who is now opposing us."

There was a moment of silence at the venue, and Wen Desi asked, "Where is Hale now?"

"We haven't been able to obtain direct information from the Zheng family, so we don't know yet." When Xu Xu said this, he glanced at Jiang Shan, who nodded slightly, "But we have a guess."

"Go on."

Xu paused for a moment, picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

"Not long ago, during our starvation operation against the Manila Galleon, we discovered some unusual situations-the Spaniards purchased a large number of goods in the Americas that they did not purchase or rarely purchased in the past. Signs that Spain is recruiting Chinese artisans on a large scale through Macau, we believe that Manila is likely to be doing the same thing as Zheng's group."

"You mean, the Spaniards are improving their armed forces?" He Ming, Chief of Military Affairs, asked.

Jiang Shan replied: "At present, we have not obtained accurate information in this regard, but according to the existing situation, it is speculated that this possibility is very high."

"Do we have anyone in Manila?" Qian Shuiting asked.

"Lando is on his way to Manila and will be there soon." Jiang Shan replied.

"Why did you send him there?" Qian Shuiting asked.

"After the starvation operation ended, we discovered the abnormal situation of the cargo on board. We sent him to find out the situation, hoping to establish a spy network in Manila. Elder Lando has some knowledge of the situation in Manila, and he is a European—Spain People control the Chinese very strictly, and we don't have much choice." Qian Shuiting didn't ask further.

At this time, Zhao Manxiong asked: "That is to say, even if Lando doesn't apply, we can only send him?"

"Yes, he is the most suitable candidate."

"This is a major threat to the Senate, and apparently something unrecorded is going on there. The Spaniards are improving their weapons - we don't know what they're up to, it's very dangerous. We'll have to figure it out and discuss it as soon as possible A countermeasure." Wen Desi concluded.

"We'll just have to wait for Lando's first report."

"But if Permission's deduction is correct, Lando's situation is quite dangerous. Hale and Lando are acquainted: any pretense we put on Lando will be exposed. Therefore, I am going to suspend the operation in Manila and put Rando Withdrew at a certain speed. Make plans after further investigation of the situation.”

"Further investigation? How can no one go to find out? This is not the 21st century, there are other means of reconnaissance. Here, there is no other way than sending intelligence agents."

Jiang Shan retorted, "But this would make Lando very dangerous. After all, Hale knew him, an arms dealer who traveled through time, and turned into some kind of Earl Van Nova, driving a modern-style yacht. Hale couldn't possibly He is a fool, he knows what it means, he will kill Lando, and then hide deeper, it will be difficult to find him."

"Then let Lando keep a low profile, don't be an earl, he is not 007."

"The circle of Europeans in Manila is very small. A newcomer will attract attention no matter what." Jiang Shan played the professional expertise of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.

Chen Haiyang spoke for the first time, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Wars are dangerous, and intelligence work is also dangerous. You can't just say that there is danger and you don't do it."

"But this is no longer dangerous, it is simply death."

"How come, not to mention, whether Hale is alive, and whether he is in Manila, these are just speculations, maybe this is not the case. Or maybe he is not in Manila." Chen Haiyang said.

"But if Hale is here, then we will send Lando to die. This Xiamen discovery is very important, and I understand your concerns. But this is not a reason to take unnecessary risks. Once Lando exposes the fundamental We will not give us a chance to rescue him. We can train a group of Filipino indigenous intelligence agents, and they will be able to better collect local intelligence. There are many difficulties, but there will always be a way. Every elder is our precious wealth ..." Jiang Shan concluded passionately.

"Landu and Hale were originally on the same boat." Zhao Manxiong suddenly spoke.

The meeting room suddenly fell silent, and the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

"After seeing the strength of the Senate, I don't believe that Lando would make such a stupid choice." Jiang Shan said.

Wen Desi said: "Then let him fully prove his loyalty."

"I repeat: This is a very dangerous operation, and Lando could very well lose his life."

"Then Director Jiang, your opinion is still to suspend the operation?"

"Yes, temporarily suspend the operation. After getting more information, we will make the next decision, otherwise we may startle the snake." Jiang Shan insisted on his proposal.

Zhao Manxiong coughed softly: "Everyone, it is meaningless for us to dwell on this issue here. Lando has been away for many days. He is on an ordinary merchant ship without a radio. Even if we cancel the operation, we cannot notify him .Even if we send a messenger to catch up with 901, it will be difficult to catch him.

"Secondly, Lando's situation has his particularity. It is an option for the Senate to conduct some tests on him. Now that there is a Hale in Manila that is giving us a headache, we should focus on the key points first. I think that Lando The operation should continue, but we should be well prepared. As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. For this, it is necessary to prepare a plan B. Send a second team to Manila to support him, Make sure Lando's operation succeeds, or rescue him if it fails."

Everyone nodded and said yes, Zhao Manxiong continued: "I suggest that the Foreign Intelligence Bureau continue to be responsible for this work, and we can ask the Executive Committee to use special investigation teams and naval forces to support it."

"I have no objection." Wen Desi said, "Do you have any different opinions?"

Jiang Shan asked, "What if Lando is really a traitor?"

Wen Desi was silent for a while: "If Lando rebelled, we should take him to the special court of the Senate for trial in accordance with the law."

The participants felt that although the plan was not perfect, at least it considered all aspects.No objection was raised.

Wendez concluded by saying, "No matter what is found in Manila, Hale and everything he brought must be cleansed."
