Chapter 231 Useful(2/2)
But with respect.
"National war"
Thinking of those two words, Yu Tao's eyes showed some longing. The country has been raising troops for thousands of days, but they can finally be used for a moment.
Use, every person, in every special period, has a specific use.
Russian Empire, St. Petersburg. Like most cities in Russia, St. Petersburg at this time is filled with strong patriotic passion. You can see slogans posted everywhere on the streets. Those slogans are undoubtedly advocating war.
The slogan, the Austro-Hungarian Empire invaded Serbia, which also belonged to the Slavs, aroused the nationalism of the Russians. For the Russians who believed in the "Great Slavs", this war was just and inevitable, and it was also what they wanted.
desire.
Of course, most of these people are Russia's middle-level elites. For ordinary people, although war has just been declared, the rapid rise in prices has really made some people angry. Although many people have silently accepted it under the encouragement of nationalism.
Rising prices, but on the other hand, after the war broke out, because precious metals were banned from flowing out, an underground foreign exchange black market appeared in Russia. At any time, someone needed foreign exchange.
As early as the early 19th century, Barings Bank in St. Petersburg became one of the first foreign banks to enter the Russian market. Barings Bank in St. Petersburg was considered one of the largest foreign banks. A carriage slowly stopped in front of the steps of Barings Bank.
Ouyang Shujun, who was sitting in the car, first glanced at the bank outside the car window, and then glanced at Peter Rokovsky opposite. He was one of the first batch of intelligence agents developed after Ouyang came to St. Petersburg last year.
one.
"Remember your mission?"
After handing the portfolio to Peter Rokovsky, Ouyang Shujun asked in fluent Russian that in fact he entered the Security Department purely by chance. He grew up in Harbin and attended a Russian school.
Russian, after graduating from Vladivostok Business School, he originally went to Lianyun to look for new opportunities, but in the end he joined the Security Department by accident.
However, he personally enjoys this kind of challenging work. Just like a week ago, he spent a lot of effort and finally got an order for one thousand tons of smokeless propellant. Of course, the most important thing was to use it to communicate with Russia.
Contact was established with the munitions department.
"certainly"
Peter Rokovsky smiled. Wearing a custom-made suit, he looked like an aristocrat, or at least a rich man. He put the portfolio into his bag, put on his top hat, and held the "Civilization" in one hand.
"Zhang" got off the carriage with his briefcase in one hand.
As he walked towards Barings Bank, he acted very relaxed. In fact, he didn't think this was a task. It was just a telex of tens of thousands of pounds to the United States. As an employee of Jiaxin Company, he could realize that
Jiaxin Company is not just a Chinese company, maybe it is a, um, spy agency, but what does that mean? For him, the most important thing is his monthly salary of 320 rubles and the completion of every mission.
Later bonus.
As for things like bribing military officers to buy military maps and collecting Siberian Railway information maps, that is just a job. He is not Russian, so why should he consider Russia's interests?
"...the area occupied by the dominant purely Russian Slavic people is only a small part of Russia. The people of Finland, Poland, the Caucasus and other conquered and annexed areas are dissatisfied with the oppression from the center and demand independence whenever they have the opportunity.
"
Looking at the back of Peter Rokovsky, Ouyang Shujun came up with a sentence in his heart. The reason why the development of intelligence agents in Russia is smooth is precisely because there are a large number of people and dissidents in Russia who are dissatisfied with Russia.
Although he needed their help, Ouyang Shujun was very disgusted with these people in his heart, especially those dissidents. In order to oppose their own government, they would even sacrifice the interests of the country and cooperate with foreign countries.
"The ** parties really have something in common"
Thinking of the so-called second revolution last year, in which the Kuomintang launched a riot to overthrow the central government and even tried to sell Longhai to Japan in order to raise military funds, Ouyang Shujun felt full of contempt deep in his heart.
In his view, no reason can be used as an excuse to betray the country and collude with foreign countries.
However, he also knows that strategy is the crime of the country being targeted. However, as an expatriate security guard, he hopes that the host country will be filled with unpatriotic people, so that it will be more conducive to his work.
"Please check carefully. I got this money from the black market."
Sitting in front of the lobby manager, Peter Rokovsky said seriously. At this time, his face was full of a sincere look unique to nobility, as if he was really a very elegant aristocrat.
“Thank you for your honesty”
The lobby manager quickly said, in fact, he can tell the authenticity of these banknotes just by looking at them. It is true that many people are counterfeiting pounds, but no one can imitate the special cross pattern of pounds.
Not to mention the extremely exquisite watermark.
However, since the other party reminded that the pounds were obtained from the black market, he had to take it seriously. After all, this was a huge sum of fifty thousand pounds.
While Peter Rokovsky was waiting for the banknotes to be inspected in the bank, Ouyang Shujun, who was sitting in the carriage, was holding one or two pound notes in his hands and comparing them repeatedly. Out of professional sensitivity, when yesterday
After the first batch of a box full of half a million pounds arrived, he realized that these pounds may be counterfeit banknotes. If they were just activity funds, there would be no need to disguise them as "paper" and send them to St. Petersburg via the railway, let alone
He was instructed to remit 300,000 pounds of it to the United States, 100,000 pounds to Shanghai, and the rest was to fund the activities of the Russian intelligence station of the Ministry of Security.
"Is it really counterfeit?"
Although he was not a banknote examiner, no matter how much Ouyang Shujun compared it, he still couldn't find out that the money looked like a counterfeit banknote. Instead, it looked genuine everywhere. If it was a real banknote, why was it so troublesome?
Just as he was thinking, the car door opened, and in came Peter Rokovsky with a smile on his face.
"Manager, this is the remittance order"
When he handed over the remittance order in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the ten-pound note in the manager's hand. Sensing where the other person's gaze was, the European bookkeeper took the remittance order and held the domestically issued note in his left hand.
The banknotes were handed to him.
