Chapter 360: Huge Grassroots Team
Now that things had come to this, Bartel told it all.
He struggled again and sat up. "Give me a cigarette."
Lin Ze smiled, deliberately took out a pack of Big Cannon from his pocket, slowly opened it, and handed it to him, "What a coincidence, I saw cigarettes when I searched the grocery store, and took two boxes. Kitahara-kun, this doesn't count as embezzlement, right?"
After he said that, the atmosphere eased a lot and it was no longer so tense.
Before Kitahara Ransuke could speak, Kanai Shoji said, "Mr. Lin likes to smoke this kind of cigarette. I'll have someone find a few boxes of it later. This kind of cigarette is not easy to buy in Zhangjiazhuang."
Bater said nothing, glanced at Lin Ze, took the cigarette, and Lin Ze lit it for him.
Kitahara Ransuke urged, "Okay, Mr. Bartel, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us what's going on."
"Looking at the way Kitahara-kun and Kanai-kun are acting, we should be considered to be in the same boat now. I will also speak frankly. Although Zhangjiazhuang may look rustic, the amount of money that passes through it every year is also quite terrifying. What are we doing here for? In the final analysis, it is all for four words: promotion and wealth. From Kanai-kun's secret service agency, to the Administrative Committee, to the Public Security Army and the police station, all these well-known people have several shops behind them. Whether they are doing business or collecting money, it is always the same way."
At this point, he took another puff of his cigarette. The fat man had a large lung capacity, so after this puff, the cigarette was basically burned to the end.
"Zhang Fuzhi has people with guns under his command, so naturally he also does business. Gradually, I figured out that this guy, in addition to dealing in furs, also smuggles medicines, cloth and other things. He originally had no share in the trading house set up by the Osaka people, but he was willing to use several large fur shops as a replacement and squeezed in. Jin Jing-kun also knows about this, right?"
Kanai Shoji nodded, "You mean, he has other purposes?"
"That's when I started paying attention to him. To be honest, Zhang Fuzhi is a Han Chinese and doesn't get along with us. I collected those things with the intention of bringing him down. I didn't expect that I would find something incredible during this collection. Zhang Fuzhi has a radio station!"
Kitahara Ransuke asked anxiously, "Are you sure?"
Bater said in a deep voice: "How can you not be sure? I sent people to sneak into his house and saw it with my own eyes! This guy is most likely a member of the Renaissance Society. The supplies he got might be transported south through Suiyuan Station, and then transported to Shancheng or somewhere else through the people of Sanjin. Isn't the big brother in the north now in the same boat with Shancheng? Maybe there are still arms supported by them here!"
Kitahara Ransuke said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me before?"
After talking so much, Battelle felt a little tired and lay down again. "Tell me, what do you mean? Ask Jin Jingjun. We are all of the same mind. Zhang Fuzhi even got involved in the affairs of the Trade Office. If I say he is collaborating with the enemy, will the Osaka Division agree? If Zhang Fuzhi is collaborating with the enemy, doesn't that mean the Osaka Division is collaborating with the enemy?"
Kitahara Ransuke was silent.
Damn, I didn’t expect there were such complicated relationships involved.
Needless to say, Zhang Fuzhi is definitely a fine horse!
The reason why he has been lurking for so long without any trouble is that it turns out that this guy is related to the Osaka Division!
"So what do you say now?" asked Kitahara Ransuke.
Battelle did not answer, but looked at Kanai Shoji.
Kanai Shoji rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, "Well, Kitahara-kun, you also know that the Osaka Division has been transferred to the south..."
In the past, outside the border, the power of the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army checked and balanced each other, but the Osaka Division relied on doing business and actually became the dominant force in this area. Everyone made a fortune quietly, so naturally no one would take the initiative to expose this matter.
But now the Osaka Division is gone, and General Terauchi of the North China Front Army has revealed his intention to take the outer areas into his possession. If we don't rush to curry favor with them now, we will have no chance.
So selling out Zhang Fuzhi and letting him take the blame alone would be good for everyone.
Damn it, Kitahara Ranjie now suspects whether Zhang Fuzhi wanted to escape on his own because he saw that the situation was not right, or whether he had discussed it with these people before escaping.
"Lieutenant Colonel Kitahara, I know your doubts, but I can assure you that we only have a loose interest relationship. You can understand it as business partners. We absolutely had no involvement in what Zhang Fuzhi did, and most people were not even aware of it. Even I only know a little bit. Maybe Zhang Fuzhi realized that I was investigating him, so he came to shoot me in the back." Bater took the initiative to explain.
Lin Ze looked at the fat man and thought that this guy was not simple, with a flexible and insightful mind.
Now, everything can be explained.
Why was the Military Control Commission in Chahar and Suiyuan able to remain safe and sound for such a long time? The Inspector General of the Zhangjiazhuang Police Station was the Military Control Commission's biggest spy chief outside the border. How could this be justified?
After leaving the hospital, Kitahara Ransuke and Lin Ze went back in the same car.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Kitahara Ransuke suddenly asked: "Lin-san, do you believe what he said?"
Lin Ze said: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, Kitahara-kun, please forgive me for being blunt, but General Terauchi will believe it."
Kitahara Ransuke sighed, "Yes, I understand now. Chahar Station is not important, and the horse is not important either. The wealth that keeps flowing in this place is what General Terauchi is interested in. The horse is just a trigger. What General Terauchi really wants is Kanai Shoji and the community of interests around him to join the general's camp."
"You have accomplished this. The general will be very happy. Chahar Station suffered a devastating blow. Fan Kangcheng was arrested. Although Junma ran away, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that Kanai Shoji and others have returned to the team. Kitahara-kun, the result is still very good!"
Kitahara Ransuke was silent for a while, then smiled slightly, "Who said the horse ran away? He was killed in our raid, and Fan Kangcheng can prove it."
"I think Kitahara-kun is great!"
Kitahara Ransuke adjusted his posture to make his back less sore. He hadn't rested for several days and was indeed exhausted. "If it weren't for the liaison team leader at Suiyuan Station who accidentally learned that there was a senior intelligence officer named Junma lurking outside the border for a long time, we wouldn't have had this opportunity. Fate will always give you some gifts."
Lin Ze looked out the window.
It seems that there is no problem with the headquarters, but something went wrong with Suiyuan Station itself.
The world is a huge makeshift team, and spy organizations are no exception. Many times, some inadvertent small mistakes can lead to destructive consequences.
Why an ordinary liaison team leader was able to learn about Junma's news may never be answered.
wrong.
Lin Ze suddenly remembered that the damn liaison team leader was in Zhangjiazhuang and was still alive and well!
