My years of espionage

"What's the matter?" Cheng Qianfan came to the investigation team office of the political department on the third floor, and seeing Pete's serious expression, he couldn't help asking.

"The war has begun," Pete said.

"War has been declared?" Cheng Qianfan took out the cigarette holder from his pocket, maintaining the motion of picking up the cigarette, "Are you sure?"

Pete didn't speak, he picked up a piece of paper on the desk and handed it to Cheng Qianfan.

Cheng Qianfan took it over and looked at it, and found that it was a photo facsimile of the "Paris Evening News" on September [-]th:

The headlines on the front pages of the evening papers read "WAR IS DECLARED!"
Reports of Britain and France declaring war on Germany.

"Britain has entered a state of war with Germany since [-]:[-] this morning, and France has entered a state of war with Germany since [-]:[-] this afternoon."

"The faxed picture is really good." Cheng Qianfan put down the faxed document in his hand, stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, and lit the cigarette with the kerosene lighter, saying.

Although it was not the first time to see fax pictures, Cheng Qianfan still couldn't help but marvel, saying with emotion that technology has changed people's lives.

It was three years ago that fax pictures really entered the lives of Chinese people.

From August 25st to [-]th in the [-]th year of the Republic of China, Berlin, Germany hosted the Olympic Games.

China sent a sports delegation of more than 200 people, including more than 140 athletes and coaches, which is the largest since China participated in the Olympic Games.

For this competition, Chinese people have high hopes and hope to win something.

This incident became a hot topic in international news reports that domestic newspapers competed for. The major national newspapers such as Shenbao, Ta Kung Pao, Yishi Bao, and Central Daily competed to publish special editions of the Olympic Games, and the photo reports competed for splendor.

At that time, the national big newspapers "Ta Kung Pao" and "Shenzhen" did not send reporters to interview, but the full-time photographer Luo Gusun took a lot of pictures for "Shenzhen"'s "No. 11th World Games Pictorial" and "Ta Kung Pao" daily The "No. 11th World Games Special" published in the pictorial column provides a lot of picture materials.

The most important thing is to make full use of fax photos to make up for the shortcomings.

In this Olympic reporting competition, "Ta Kung Pao" won because of its rich and detailed background introduction and rapid use of photos.

……

Pete was a little silent, his face was serious, and he reached out for a cigarette.

"Didn't you always look forward to this day?" Cheng Qianfan handed Pete a cigarette, and asked suspiciously, "Now that war on the Germans is officially declared, you don't seem so happy?"

"Too fast." Pete lit the cigarette, took a few deep breaths, and said.

"What?" Cheng Qianfan didn't understand.

"It's too fast, the Germans are advancing too fast." Pete looked serious, and he looked at his friend, "Qianfan, I don't understand how the Germans fought in Poland, but I feel very scared intuitively. "

With a cigarette in his mouth, he brought Cheng Qianfan to the inner room of the office, picked up the map stick, pointed to the map of Europa on the wall and said, "Armored vehicles, motorcycles, the Germans are frantically advancing along the Polish corridor."

The war has been going on for the fourth day, and the information about the Polish battlefield has been captured by more 'observers', including the French police officer Pete from the French Concession Patrol House as far away as Shanghai, and even this former lieutenant of the French mercenary regiment is more involved than many soldiers in France. People on both sides are concerned about this war.

From the beginning of the war, the German army showed a different war to all followers.

The Germans had 2800 tanks, and in addition, they had 7 armored divisions, 4 lightly armored divisions, and 4 motorized divisions.

Now, the Germans are also taking advantage of this advantage.

"From the moment the war started, the Germans were advancing into the hinterland of Poland at a rate of 120 to [-] miles per day." Pete tapped a spot on the map with a map stick.

"According to the latest information, the Germans have advanced to the front line of the Vistula River. Do you know what this means?" He looked at Cheng Qianfan, but did not wait for his friend to answer, but asked himself, "This means The people have completed the encirclement of the Pomeranian Army in the 'Polish Corridor' area."

"Wait a minute, as far as I know, the Poles..." Cheng Qianfan thought.

"Army Pomerania," Peter reminded.

"Yes, the Pomeranian Army actually has a lot of troops. Let alone whether they can defeat the Germans, at least they can slow down the German army's attack speed." Cheng Qianfan said.

"A massacre, a massacre." Pete shook his head.

The German army had already fought with the Pomeranian Army, and at the cost of only a few hundred people killed, but less than a thousand, they wiped out 3 infantry divisions and a cavalry brigade of the Pomeranian Army.

"This is a complete massacre." Pete said with a serious face, he looked at Cheng Qianfan, "My friend, the Germans are engaged in a brand new war."

"Armored vehicles, armored vehicles." He said to Cheng Qianfan, "The Germans are desperately equipped with armored vehicles, but we, do you know how many armored vehicles there are in France?"

"I don't know." Cheng Qianfan shook his head decisively.

"I don't know, but what I want to say is that maybe there are many, maybe there are not many, it doesn't matter, what matters is people's thinking." Peter said, "Compared with not having, having but not paying attention to it is more exciting. Can not accept."

His expression is so serious.

Cheng Qianfan had never seen such a serious expression on his friend's face.

"Did you know? Those old generals even thought the new weapons were different." Pete smiled wryly.

As a prodigal son who has always been proud of being an officer, Pete has actually kept in touch with his former comrades-in-arms who are still serving in the French army. Therefore, he is even more knowledgeable about some situations in the French Defense Force than many military insiders. To understand and see thoroughly.

Now the French army still pursues the defensive strategic thinking during the European War.

Based on this thinking, the veteran generals of the military completely ignored, even rejected, and condemned those aliens who began to study new weapons and tactics.

Pete picked up a military book on his desk, and he handed it to Cheng Qianfan.

Cheng Qianfan took it, flipped through it casually, and found that it was a book written in the 25th year of the Republic of China, and it had the words of the internal teaching materials of the French Defense Forces on it.

"Too lazy to read, tell me, what are you talking about?" he said.

Pete lit another cigarette, "War horses are more useful and reliable than armored vehicles, because war horses don't need to drink expensive gasoline, they only need to eat grass, and they won't break down on the road and don't need maintenance."

He looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Also, the Air Force is just a vassal of the Army."

"There will be no air battles in the future, only land battles." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said.

"You also know this sentence?" Pete glanced at Cheng Qianfan, then smiled wryly.

This sentence was said by the commander-in-chief of the French army when he inspected the army. It was regarded as a standard by the French army, and it was even reported in newspapers to show the importance of the army.

Cheng Qianfan nodded. He heard this from Imamura Heutaro. The Japanese side even took the words of the commander-in-chief of the French army as a joke, and often ridiculed them.

Pete raised his forehead. He felt that the commander-in-chief of the strongest army in Europe was really ashamed to be thrown in China.

"Peter, my friend." Cheng Qianfan looked at the frowning Pete, patted him on the shoulder, and asked in an exaggerated tone, "You haven't lost your confidence in the war, have you?"

"Of course not." Pete shook his head resolutely. He emphasized that he was only worried that the French army would be more difficult in the early stages of the war.

But he firmly believed that "victory will belong to the mighty France."

"That's it." Cheng Qianfan chuckled, walked to the window, looked out, and saw a newsboy waving newspapers for sale, and then many passers-by flocked to grab the newspapers.

He knew that this was the news that Britain and France had declared war on Germany, and it had officially spread all over the world.

"The war broke out." Cheng Qianfan murmured, and suddenly, he turned his head to look at Pete, "Peter, we need to adjust the price of the supplies we have, and increase the price by [-]%."

As he said that, he shook his head first, "No, no, at least double the price, twice..."

"I think you should keep the clip in your hand and plan." Pete sneered.

Cheng Qianfan pointed to Pete and said, "Do you know what I hate most about you? You are obviously happier than me every time you collect money, and you don't want to take less than a franc, but you still despise my dedicated work."

He snorted coldly, rolled his eyes, and said happily, "Good idea, you're right, it's up for grabs!"

What he thought in his mind was that there was a batch of medicines in the warehouse, which had to be short-sold and transferred immediately. With the outbreak of war in Europe, the shortage of medicines would inevitably become more and more severe.

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if the sun had pierced his eyes.

He built a gazebo with his hands and went to see again:
From the window, he saw a familiar person passing by the door of the patrol room.

Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat.

"Now that war has been officially declared against the Germans." Cheng Qianfan turned to look at Pete. The morning sun shone through the window and cast on him. The whole body of this greedy man seemed to be shining golden, especially his eyes. As if flashing golden light, "What do you plan to do with the Germans in the French Concession?"
