Chapter 842
Pete handed Cheng Qianfan a glass of red wine, and the two touched the glass.

"The mighty France has a rock-solid Maginot Line. The Germans have no space at all. They are like a trapped beast. All their actions now can only show the strong anxiety in their hearts." Peter talked eloquently.

"If that's the case, why do you keep giving in to the Germans?" Cheng Qianfan couldn't help asking, and then he took a sip of his wine a little irritablely, "What the people see is that Germany is pressing forward every step of the way, France is retreating step by step, and Western Europe The cloud of war is looming, and our business has also been greatly affected."

Now the freight rate of the goods shipped from Marseille to the Far East has risen sharply, and the purchase price of the goods has also risen a lot. Some materials are in short supply and even have no market.

Although Jiujiu Trading can also change hands and increase the price to try to maintain the amount of profit, it will still be greatly affected in the end.

Seeing Cheng Qianfan's bored look, Pete didn't want to reveal the secret at first, but, after all, it was related to their business, so he said something to comfort his friend, "The war will not affect France."

He raised his glass, "Although the Japanese are a little over their own strength, their reckless behavior may lead to an expected chain reaction."

"Japan..." Cheng Qianfan was stunned first, then surprised, "Soviet Russia? Have they made up their minds?"

Previously, he had been instructed by Imamura Heutaro to bring the test message from the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai to the high-level French Concession, and what happened after that had nothing to do with him.

Although Cheng Qianfan had certain guesses about the strategic intentions of the Japanese, they were only guesses. Such a vital military strategic intelligence involving countries could only be confirmed with solid evidence.

Cheng Qianfan didn't know exactly what the Japanese and the French were talking about, let alone how it was going.

In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Imamura Heutaro and other interested people, Cheng Qianfan absolutely restrained his desire to obtain further information from Imamura Heutaro.

He put the gap to obtain this further information on Pete.

And choosing to spy on intelligence under the pretext of caring about business is very in line with his greedy characteristics, and it is a very good entry point.

……

"You guessed it too?" Pete glanced at Cheng Qianfan and nodded. Yes, Cheng Qianfan has a close relationship with the Japanese. The Japanese deliberately chose to establish contact with the French side through the French Concession relationship secretly through the pro-Japanese Cheng Qianfan, so Cheng Qianfan should also have a certain understanding of this matter.

"You have an old saying in China called the mind of a dead horse, butchers know it, Japanese, hehe." Pete said.

"It's Sima Zhaozhi's heart that everyone knows." Cheng Qianfan said, his eyes flashed with excitement, "Are you sure?"

"Who knows." Pete shrugged, "The free world acquiesced in the Japanese attacking the red polar bear. Now it depends on the Japanese's guts."

Cheng Qianfan looked pensive.

Pete seemed to be in good spirits, "If the Japanese really dare to attack the Soviet Union and achieve initial success, it will be difficult for the Germans to resist the temptation to bite the red polar bear."

Cheng Qianfan understands that this is the reason why Britain, France and other European countries have been tolerant to Germany step by step. They do not want to have a direct war with Germany, but are trying to "direct the disaster" to lead the German army to attack the Soviet Union.

Britain and France are naturally happy to see Japan trying to provoke a war with Soviet Russia.

Japan's attack on Soviet Russia in the Far East, once Soviet Russia does not perform well, it is likely to cause a chain reaction, and the chain reaction that Britain and France are most looking forward to is——

Germany launched an attack on Soviet Russia on the western front, and joined forces with Japan to attack Soviet Russia.

……

Pete invited the chef from Mr. Ferguson's home to cook an authentic French meal, and the guests and hostess enjoyed themselves for a while.

Linda invited Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao to stay for a while, and Cheng Qianfan had nothing to do. He left a car and several bodyguards to protect Ruolan and Xiaobao, and then pretended that he had business to deal with and left.

About two hours later, Cheng Qianfan appeared in Imamura Heutaro's study.

"teacher."

Looking at Miyazaki Kentaro with excitement in his eyes, Imamura Heitaro couldn't help being curious, and motioned his students to sit down and talk.

Cheng Qianfan thanked him, sat down first, and then couldn't help standing up, "Teacher, the empire has decided to take action against Soviet Russia?"

Imamura Heutaro's expression changed drastically, and he immediately asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

"It seems to be true." Cheng Qianfan took a deep breath, his eyes glowed with excitement, and then he suddenly noticed the serious look of Imamura Heutaro, and quickly explained, "Pete is hosting a banquet at home today. Heard it from Pete."

"These damn French!" Heitaro Imamura's face turned cold. The French's sense of secrecy is too bad for such an important military event. What's more, Pete is only a middle-level French official in the French Concession. .

As clever as Cheng Qianfan, he immediately understood what Heutaro Imamura was worried about, and hurriedly said, "Master, Pete is not an ordinary French military officer, he is the nephew of Chairman Neng of the Political Department, and he has also won the trust of Ferguson, so he can have opportunity to gain access to such secrets."

Imamura Hyoutaro nodded slightly, and then looked at Miyazaki Kentaro with scrutiny:

How did you know this information, or why Pete disclosed such important information to you?

"Students and Pete chatted about Germany's annexation of Austria and Italy's occupation of Albania, worried that a war in Europe would affect, affect..." Cheng Qianfan carefully glanced at Imamura Heutaro, and lowered his voice.

"Are you worried that it will affect your business?" Imamura Hyoutaro still doesn't understand the temperament of his student. If Miyazaki Kentaro is good at everything, he just pays too much attention to yellow and white things.

"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan nodded with shame on his face.

Heitaro Imamura snorted coldly. It was obvious that Pete and Kentaro Miyazaki were business partners. According to Kentaro, Pete was even more of a greedy guy.

In order to reassure Kentaro Miyazaki, Pete disclosed the confidential information such as the empire's preparation to attack the Soviet Union and the acquiescence of Britain and France.

"Since you already know, I don't need to hide it from you." Imamura Heitaro said seriously, "However, Kentaro, you must remember that it is a matter of military and national importance and must be kept strictly confidential."

"Teacher, the students understand." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "After leaving this door, the students will forget about it."

Heitaro Imamura nodded, he was quite relieved about this student.
