Lost and Spy

Chapter 827 Sino-Italian Cooperation
"The disappearance of General Raleigh Gani and his wife, the former Commander of the Armandi Death Squad, there is still no clue..."

The report of the Italian "Citizen" is as follows:

"Italy's leader, prime minister, and minister of the interior...His Excellency Mussolini also expressed serious concern about this incident, and communicated with the Japanese government many times, demanding that this serious incident be resolved as soon as possible..."

Rolligani put down the newspaper and got up from the bed.

The spirit is much better today.

Well, the Chinese still take good care of themselves. They hired the best doctors for themselves, and then dispatched a few people to take care of themselves.

I heard that my wife is also very happy in Shanghai.

When she came to see her in the morning, Jobrina was still radiant, and her brows were full of pride.

Probably the Chinese bought a lot of luxury goods for her.

Nice trip to China.

He called the person in charge of taking care of him:

"Hey, I want to meet Charles."

"Okay, Your Excellency General, I will arrange it now."

……

The phone rang.

Just as Meng Shaoyuan wanted to answer the phone, he was hugged by Qiaobrina: "Leave it alone."

Can you believe it, Jobrina reluctantly got up early in the morning, went to visit her husband as a matter of routine, then excused herself to go to the street, and immediately slipped back to the suite next door.

That's right, it's right next door to His Excellency the General.

Meng Shaoyuan was about to get up, but Qiaobrina who rushed in immediately rushed to eat...

It's a crime, it's easy to be hollowed out like this.

Now when the phone rang, Meng Shaoyuan seemed to hear the voice of a savior.

"Hey, that's my job."

He tried every means to get rid of Jobrina, and connected to the phone that kept ringing non-stop: "Okay, I see, I'll be there in a while."

Turning around: "Ma'am, I think I have to leave, your husband wants to see me."

"You really know how to pick your time." Jobrina muttered dissatisfiedly...

……

"Charles, are you sick too?"

When he saw Meng Shaoyuan, Luo Lijiani was a little surprised: "Your face is a little pale."

"Ah, tired, tired." Meng Shaoyuan perfunctory: "Your Excellency, what is the rush to see me?"

"Please sit down, Charles." Rolligani asked the other party to sit down: "I have been in Shanghai for a few days. I was sick, but now I am much better. I think I can't stay here forever, Italy The people in the consulate may also be looking for my whereabouts, what arrangements do you have for this?"

Of course Meng Shaoyuan thought about arrangements.

The disappearance of the head of the visiting delegation not only put heavy pressure on the Japanese government, but also made the so-called international visit a laughing stock.

At the same time, the goal of using Raleigh Gani's pawn to disrupt Kenji Doihara's deployment and regain the initiative in Shanghai has basically been achieved.

In the past few days, taking advantage of the opportunity of Japan's large-scale dispatch, it took away more than [-] large and small contact points of Japanese intelligence agencies in the International Settlement.

At the same time, it has preliminarily completed the adjustment of its own contact points, safely evacuated more than a dozen exposed contact points, and established new contact points.

Even in the Japanese-controlled areas outside the public concession, the Military Command Shanghai Special Office took advantage of the emptiness of the Japanese special agency and established eight fixed contact points and twelve temporary contact points again.

Especially among the eight fixed points of contact, there are three armed points of contact.

The role of this in combating Japanese-controlled areas is obvious.

And now, it's time for the Raleigh-Gani couple to be successfully "rescued".

But how?

How to continue to play the role of Raleigh Garney?
According to Meng Shaoyuan's idea, it is best to leave it to Tian Qi to rescue the Roligani couple.

But the question is, how can it be seamless, so that the Japanese have no doubt that this is a game?

What is even more troublesome is that Meng Shaoyuan can't even contact Tian Qi at present.

"Your Excellency, I am arranging for your rescue." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while and said, "You will be free again in a few days, and I am sure that you will be sent out of Shanghai quickly and returned to Italy."

Raleigh Gani is not worried about these, what he cares about is what to do with the benefits that Daniel once promised?
Your Excellency the General wants to ask directly, but a General always has the dignity of a General. How can a dignified General, Your Excellency, talk about money with others without dignity?

"Your Excellency, you have done me a great favor." Meng Shaoyuan took the initiative to mention money: "But before you left Italy, I also asked Daniel to help you pay off all the debts. It stands to reason that we have already settled the debt. "

Raleigh Garney was a little embarrassed.

But yes, that check was enough to settle everything.

But it is far from enough to just pay off the debts. The retirement salary of His Excellency the General cannot satisfy Jobrina's life at all.

Moreover, Your Excellency the General has no other means of earning a living besides fighting.

"During my contact with Madam these days, I found that she is a woman who is very good at spending money." Meng Shaoyuan talked about the pain of Your Excellency the General: "Of course, a beautiful and charming woman has the capital to spend money. But Your Excellency General , please answer me a question honestly, can you meet her needs?"

Raleigh Gani shrugged.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "So, you need my help. I am rich, but my money is not given to others casually. My friends, or people who can help me, can get enough money from me. money."

"Tell me, what should I do." Rolligani no longer had any hesitation.

"First of all, what I want to talk about is the supply of weapons and equipment." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "There used to be good cooperation between my country and Italy. Our government imported a large amount of weapons from Italy, and Italy even assisted China in building A large number of military enterprises, including an aircraft factory, unfortunately, because of the strong protest of the Japanese government, the cooperation was forced to suspend.”

Italian weapons are very distinctive.

For example, the CV33 and 35 ultra-light tanks have thin armor and weak firepower, but they are cheap and perform well, especially suitable for the Chinese battlefield that lacks anti-tank weapons and has complex terrain.

还有百禄34型47毫米平射炮、布雷达35型20毫米高射炮、CR32战斗机、水雷等各种武器，无疑不是价廉物美，但却非常实用的体现。

The national government's air force advisers were mainly Italians.In order to express his friendship with China, Mussolini also presented a landline to the Chairman.

In addition, Italy also helped China build the Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. The aircraft factory was built with Italian advances, and Italy provided money and technology to produce Breda 25 trainer aircraft, Savoya S-81 twin-engine bomber and other models. , After being put into production, it will be redeemed by China in five years.Italy once stated that the Central Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant ranks first in the Far East in terms of equipment and scale.However, the Anti-Japanese War broke out as soon as the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory was put into production, and the aircraft factory was forced to move to the rear.

"I can't get the Chinese and Italian governments to cooperate again," Rolligani said hastily.

He didn't shirk this point.

Sino-Italian cooperation has played a positive role in China's modern national defense. China not only purchased weapons from Italy, but also learned a lot of Italian experience. China lacks such conditions.

In addition, the two countries have also carried out active cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, and politics. The trade volume between the two countries has risen sharply and the relationship has become increasingly close.

For the cooperation between China and Italy, Japan is very afraid and dissatisfied, and the Japanese government has repeatedly expressed protests to Italy.But Italy turned a deaf ear, and Italy's position is still very firm in the face of money.

However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the alliance of Germany, Japan and Italy, especially after Italy joined the "Anti-Global Production International Agreement" on November 1937, 11, Italy had to stop cooperating with China out of consideration of its own interests. This ended the close "revolutionary friendship" between China and Italy.

"I know you can't do it." Meng Shaoyuan finally stated his purpose: "However, you can secretly help me buy weapons in Italy, ship them to China, and then I will be responsible for the sales. The funds and sales channels are all I'll come, and you can get [-]% of the profits."

Meng Shaoyuan decided to become an arms dealer.

He wants to further develop his smuggling network.

A stable supply channel is essential.

"Ah, so." Rory Gani thought for a while: "I think I still have some friends who can help me. Of course, this requires a fee."

"I will pay all the expenses." Meng Shaoyuan agreed to him without hesitation: "I will let you take a sum of money with me, and at the same time, I will appoint an agent for me in Italy."

"Then there's no problem." Rolligani thought about it and felt that this was a completely viable business.

As long as they can make money, the vast majority of Italians don't care about their relationship with Japan. Besides, this is a secret business, and it is difficult for the Japanese to know.

"There is a second thing." Meng Shaoyuan became serious: "You have to find a way to send the people we sent to study in Italy back to China secretly and safely."

During the Sino-Italian honeymoon period, China sent many personnel to Italy to learn advanced technology, especially in the manufacture of weapons, the construction of arsenals and so on.

After the alliance between Italy and Japan, under pressure from Japan, all these people were detained in Italy and could not return home.

For Meng Shaoyuan, these people, without exception, are China's most precious wealth!
"This, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Rolligani became hesitant.

"Think of a way, rights, plus money, there is nothing impossible, use your relationship in Italy, plus my money, you will find a way."

Meng Shaoyuan said solemnly: "Your Excellency, I am full of expectations for you."

Meng Shaoyuan's idea is very simple, the precious talents in China must return to their motherland!
