Chapter 808: Master Lin is about to ask for a huge sum of money again!
Peking, pharmacy.
Mao Wanli sat by the stove and warmed himself by the fire.
The door opened and a middle-aged man in a cotton robe walked in. His clothes were not very neat and there were some oil stains on the cuffs.
Seeing a guest coming, Mao Wanli, who looked like a doctor, stood up quickly.
"What medicine should I get?"
The visitor looked outside and then stretched out his arm. "Please feel your pulse first."
Mao Wanli put his hand on it and asked in a low voice, "Is everything arranged?"
"It's all arranged. Our people have already entered Qingfenglou as waiters. A Japanese from the General Staff is having a birthday, and they have reserved a banquet at Qingfenglou."
"Do we want to eat there or have the waiter deliver it?"
"We should go there to eat. Several Japanese soldiers have visited there several times."
Mao Wanli nodded, "Cut off the contact, and don't show up again. Tell them that no matter whether the matter is successful or not, they should leave immediately after the banquet and go to Baocheng. Got it?"
The middle-aged man nodded heavily, "I understand. Don't worry, I will make arrangements."
The two then talked for a few more words, and Mao Wanli went to get the medicine. The middle-aged man left with the bag of herbs.
After the people left, Mao Wanli sat by the stove and warmed himself by the fire.
Since last year, the headquarters has had less and less contact with the Peking Station.
For those in this line of work, it’s not good to have too much contact with those above you, and it’s even worse to have too little contact.
There was no way. The Peking Station had been bad at everything before and was the first to be exposed. The headquarters gave it money and guns, but in the end, it achieved very little.
Mao Wanli understood that Boss Dai had no confidence in him.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh. Can I be blamed for this alone?
But I am in Peking, the location of the Japanese army's headquarters. There are military police and military police everywhere. It is good enough that I can hide there. I think about achieving results every day. Is it so easy to achieve such results?
Then again, although not every task assigned by the headquarters was completed well, some of it was completed, right?
Does Boss Dai look down on me so much?
To be honest, although the situation of Peking Station was very embarrassing, it did do some things.
Compared with other stations, it's about the same. Being a spy is like this. It's hard to make a big splash. Most of the time, you have to lurk day after day. Regardless of whether the operation is successful or not, it's good enough if you don't get caught.
The Shanghai Station was uprooted several times!
So Mao Wanli felt that he was very wronged.
There is no way around it, the golden Buddha is too dazzling.
This time, in order to restore his image, Mao Wanli planned a poisoning operation. If it went well, he might be able to kill several important Japanese officers in one fell swoop. Then he could report to the headquarters and have something to say.

Tianjin, Military Police Headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Lin’s office.
In the big fish tank, goldfish are swimming happily.
This is the advantage of raising this traditional goldfish: it is not afraid of cold and does not need heating in winter. As long as the water is well maintained and the environment is stable, there will generally be no problems.
If the water is not maintained well, it’s simple, just change the fish once a week.
There is heating in the office, so the temperature is not too low, but of course it is nothing compared to the situation in later generations where people have to wear short sleeves indoors.
Generally speaking, goldfish will eat much less when the temperature drops below 20 degrees.
But the fish raised by Lin Ze are different. They eat so happily and their size has changed a lot. When he first raised them in Peking, they were only a few centimeters long, but now the big ones are as big as a palm.
Lin Ze was just slacking off when Niu Saner came to report, "Master Lin, Dominic is here."
"Have him come directly to my office."
Dominic was wearing an American-style overcoat that reached down to his ankles.
He exhaled hot air from his mouth from time to time and followed Director Niu into Lin Ze's office.
He felt a little awkward.
As the head of American intelligence, he actually reached a deal with the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Gendarmerie Command.
This time, the situation was reversed and the meeting place was directly in the office of the gendarmerie headquarters.
Can you be more arrogant?
"Lao Duo, have some hot tea. It's cold outside, right?"
Dominic was more polite than usual, "Master Lin, it's okay, it's not too cold."
When he learned that Lin Ze was appointed commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Gendarmerie, he was offline for several minutes.
He then reported the matter to his superiors immediately.
This is both a notification of the situation and a way of showing off: Look, the person I’m working with has now climbed to this point, how much valuable information this can provide us!
Sure enough, the higher-ups took this matter very seriously, and some even analyzed that Lin Ze definitely had a hidden identity, otherwise how could a Chinese be promoted so quickly?
Maybe this person has a lot of connections and even has a certain influence in Tokyo!
A deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau asked Dominic to maintain a good relationship with Lin Ze!
Niu Saner brought Dominic a cup of tea. Dominic stood up and thanked him politely.
Niu Saner nodded kindly and then went out.
"Lao Duo, what have you been busy with recently?"
"Master Lin, I'm working for you. What I'm focusing on most right now is not trade, but the logistical support for the port construction site. Your traditional festival is coming soon, and I've coordinated a batch of meat, which will definitely be delivered before the festival!"
He knew what Lin Ze was concerned about and how to please Lin Ze.
Sure enough, Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you are thoughtful. Not only meat, but also cooking oil, flour, and some side dishes, you can get some!"
Lao Mi is so rich now!
While Europe was in a fierce war, the United States was selling supplies out. From the United States' ability to mobilize supplies after it joined the war, we can see that supporting the Allied logistics on its own was no joke.
There seem to be a lot of people on the construction site, but it’s only tens of thousands. Even if they eat as much as they want every day, how much can they eat and how much can they use?
For the wealthy American intelligence department, this is just a drop in the bucket.
But it’s different for Lin Ze. He has money, but where can he get so many things in North China?
Not to mention him, even the supply level of the Japanese front-line troops has been declining again and again.
Later, some old people recalled that when the Japanese invaders first came in, there was no such thing as catching chickens and sheep. Later, such incidents became more common. Even many Japanese invaders stationed in the county town would go down to the countryside to raid the area, risking being ambushed, just to find something delicious to eat and improve their lives.
Therefore, the Japs' subsequent crazy actions were an inevitable result. They really could not hold on any longer. If this million-strong army continued to be so hungry and hungry, they would be in chaos before they were defeated.
After a long exchange of pleasantries, Dominic asked cautiously, "You mentioned last time that there were negotiations with the Japanese..."
Lin Ze pretended to be surprised, "You guys don't want to talk about it anymore, what's the point of having that thing?"
Dominic smiled bitterly. When he heard this, he knew that Master Lin was going to ask for a huge sum of money again!
