Chapter 43 Spy Game

Diplomats, officials handling foreign affairs, diplomats stationed in the country enjoy diplomatic privileges and preferential treatment. However, it is also because of the privileges they enjoy in the country of residence that the diplomatic officials often become the mainstream of espionage. On the one hand, because of their duties, and on the other hand, it is because of diplomatic, political and military Need.

Because of this, after the founding of the empire, there was a period when the Investigation Bureau conducted a close reconnaissance of the embassy and obtained a lot of diplomatic and even military information from it. In the process, of course, there were some diplomats who were expelled because they were involved in stealing China's state secrets. Out of the country.

Of course, in most cases, the semi-public intelligence activities of these diplomats will not be stopped. Of course, diplomatic considerations are one of them, and the most fundamental reason is that in international spy games, many times, many countries deliberately leak some confidential information through the special channel of diplomats, from And serve the political activities of the country.

China is no exception!

Nanjing, the French Embassy in China, as an allied state, the activities of French diplomats are more active than in the past. Almost every day, in this embassy, banquets are held to entertain envoys from various countries, but the real purpose is to invite Chinese political officials and parliamentarians, for France As far as the embassy in China is concerned, there are only two most important tasks now. The first is to lobby China to send their troops to the French battlefield, and the second is to hope that China's political axe can guarantee loans through some kind of political axe to buy China's war materials.

Of course, everything is not very smooth. For Fermir, the second-class counselor of the embassy, most of the time, he doesn't have to worry about these things. When others are there to deal with Chinese politicians, he lies comfortably, but this does not mean that he is very idle. In fact As an intelligence officer, he is not easier or even more nervous than others. To some extent, China is by no means a country suitable for intelligence activities. The counter-espionage system here is very effective.

What the hell are the British and Chinese doing recently?

Thinking of the information revealed by Ambassador Kant last night, the British seem to have reached some kind of political deal with the Chinese. Of course, it was made behind the back of France. Therefore, China's attitude of sending troops seems to have changed. Otherwise, Chinese public opinion will not oppose sending troops to France.

Although France welcomes the arrival of the [***] team, now France must find out whether their transaction involves France's interests, especially whether they will sacrifice France's interests.

Suddenly, a rapid phone bell woke up Fermir, who was thinking, and then a low and nervous voice told him at the other end of the phone that he hoped to meet him.

Although the person on the other end of the phone did not say who he was, Fermir still heard from his deep and nervous voice that the person on the other end of the phone was the insider of his development. He served in the State Council of China. No matter in any country, everyone is valuable, and in China, this is extremely virtuous of an official. The country, after proper activities, will get unexpected results. A French socialite can make a low-ranking but very critical official surrender.

As usual, Fermir, dressed in an ordinary suit, looked no different from those Western professors and experts working in China. After leaving the embassy, he even walked hundreds of meters deliberately. After a few intersections, he reached out to stop a taxi. China is the world's largest car producer. While exporting a large number of cars, it also makes the country have the largest number of city taxis in the world.

As an intelligence officer, he naturally knew that the embassy had always been the center of attention of anti-espionage agencies, so he deliberately chose to take a taxi to go outside the city, then got off the car, jumped on another taxi to Xiaguan, and then took another taxi and came to the old place to ensure himself. Especially the security of the insider, that person has provided too much valuable information in the past two years.

"Stop the car!"

Finally, after arriving at the agreed place, Fermir stuffed the money to the driver, and then quickly got out of the taxi. Then, instead of going directly to the park, he chose another road, and then strolled on the sidewalk, absent-mindedly looking at the windows of the nearby shops and passing through the bustling crowd. He seemed to be shopping. After several inspections, he returned to the park, and then walked to a remote corner in the park. In the distance, he saw a man sitting on a bench under the willow tree, and he was sitting there quietly.

"Old friend, long time no see!"

The man sitting on the bench looked up in surprise, looked at Fermir, and then answered softly.

"Please sit down!"

Then he deliberately emphasized.

"We are not friends!"

"All's it, old friend, at least I treat you as my friend!"

Turning his eyes, Fermir's voice added.

"We have known each other for two years, and we are also friends, aren't we?"

Fermir has always hoped that he could establish a friendship with this person, but he understood that this person would not accept him. If it hadn't been for his handle in his hands, he might not have been able to accept the current reality until now.

"How's it going? What's the matter?"

Fermir asked softly that every time he took the initiative to call, it often meant that he had very important information in his hands. At least in his opinion, what did he want? Of course, it's not money, but freedom.

"I think it's time for the relationship between us to end?"

The man smoked a cigarette and then took a deep breath.

"I have done too many wrong things for a mistake. In the past two years, I have given you a lot of things, so I hope this is the last time."

Is it another transaction? Fermir smiled secretly in his heart, but this made him curious about this information. Since he was so sure without any hesitation, then... "I think you must be very curious!"

The man sitting on the bench suddenly said, with a trace of cunning in his eyes.

"Curiosity?"

"Curiosity, what are the British doing!"

"British!"

Is it... Fermir couldn't help looking at him in surprise, which was exactly what he wanted to know.

"Do you have any information?"

"Of course."

"What's going on?"

"I hope this is the last time."

"Well, this?"

Fermir has become a little hesitant, and it is really difficult to choose.

"You have three hours."

The person sitting next to Fermir suddenly said.

"I need a negative and another 100,000 francs. If you want to get that information?"

Then he looked at Fermir and deliberately emphasized.

"In all of China, there are no more than fifteen people who know about this matter, and I am one of them. If you think it is possible to convince a certain cabinet minister himself, you may be able to get this information."

"What the hell, what is this?"

After the people around him left, Fermir said this sentence sullenly and suddenly took a dozen benches. Today, an insider actually took the initiative. Although he said so, he looked at the neatly manicured lawn and shook his head, and his whole body became extremely hesitant.

Only fifteen people know, which means that the confidentiality of this information is very high, the scope is so small, and the confidentiality is very high. This means that the British and Chinese must have reached an ulterior agreement in some aspects, and the content must be very important, otherwise he would not be so confident. It directly involves the interests of France.

"Would you like some beer?"

Sitting in the bar, Fermir shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

He came here to relax and make a choice in his heart. There may be a lot of 100,000 francs, but he is confident that he can persuade the ambassador to take out the money, but what is really difficult to choose is that person. The official rank of that person is not high, but the extremely special position allows him to access a lot of secrets, only However, he has never been willing to take the initiative to cooperate, otherwise, the vast majority of China's political secrets are not secrets to France at all.

It's really... When the second glass of beer in his hand was about to finish, Fermir finally made a decision in his heart. Since he had never really cooperated, there was no need to keep him.

After another glass of beer, he left the bar and went straight back to the embassy. Two hours later, he left the embassy again. Compared with the last time, he had a briefcase in his hand. This time, no one took a detour, but directly stopped a taxi to the joint park.

He was really there, sitting next to him. The other party blinked his eyes and looked at Fermir with a smile.

"How's it going? Have you thought about it?"

Fermir smiled knowingly and pointed to the briefcase in his hand.

"What you need is here, all of it! Have you brought the information? I don't have it with me now, do I?" Is it all?"

"Of course!"

In order to reassure the other party, Fermir specially added another sentence.

"Another time, this is something you never knew!"

With that, he took out a photo. When the man saw the photo, his whole face changed, quickly tore the photo to pieces, and then looked at Fermir and said.

"Did you bring the money?"

After getting the affirmative answer, he took the briefcase from Fermir's hand and said as he stood up.

"The copy of the file is glued under the chair!"

Sure enough, after touching the file bag, Fermir took it down. He pulled out a piece of the file. The whole body was stunned by the content of the file, and the curse suddenly spit out uncontrollably from his voice.

"Damn the English!"
