Because he was responsible for the entire transaction, he couldn't guarantee whether Ma Liang was a real special envoy, but these strategic materials definitely did not fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

At the beginning, it was to ensure that these strategic materials were really bought by foreigners, and not that the special envoy was deceived by Xiao Rizi's acting.

Wang Xingyun even took the risk to track the final destination of these strategic materials. He saw with his own eyes that these materials were transported by the people of Hans country onto a cargo ship flying the Hans flag as if they were treasures.

In order to dispel Wang Xingyun's concerns and suspicions, the special envoy even took Wang Xingyun to directly participate in the transaction and disclosed to Wang Xingyun the most important sales channels and export prices of an import and export company.

Wang Xingyun showed a mocking smile on his face and said disdainfully:

"I don't know if the special envoy is genuine, but he is definitely not a Japanese spy. I can guarantee it with my life."

Deputy Director Zhang was very puzzled by Wang Xingyun's "mysterious confidence" in the special commissioner who was confirmed to be a fake, and retorted:

"Your transport vehicles have never been inspected by the Japanese army, and there are still a large number of ordinary people in the company. Do you dare to say that these strategic materials are not sold to ordinary people? It's simply a fantasy! Do you think everyone is a fool?"

“Hahaha~…”

Wang Xingyun couldn't help laughing and said to Deputy Director Zhang:

"I don't know how the special commissioner did it. To be honest, I still don't understand why the Japanese army treated BAT so well. But one thing I am 100% sure of is that these strategic materials were definitely not bought by the Japanese army."

"Because the Japanese army simply can't afford it!"

Seeing the confused looks on Deputy Director Zhang and his men's faces, Wang Xingyun suddenly remembered that these noble intellectuals had no understanding of practical matters at all. They could only repeat dogma verbally. They had a lot of theories, but they were speechless when it came to the key points.

If the political commissar had not gone against the majority and agreed to his proposal to restart the tungsten ore trade, thus solving part of the military expenses for the troops, the initial establishment of the troops would have been even more difficult.

Seeing that Xingyun was showing disdain for him from head to toe, Deputy Director Zhang immediately became angry. At the base, he always looked at others like this, so how could he be looked at like this by others?

"How dare you talk to Deputy Director Zhang like that? Are you tired of living?"

Before Deputy Director Zhang expressed his opinion, one of his men beside him got angry first. He picked up the copper-headed belt on the table and deliberately grabbed the part without the belt tail and was about to step forward.

"Don't be impatient. We have plenty of time to listen to his excuses tonight!" Deputy Director Zhang quietly pulled this sensible subordinate and shook his head calmly.

The hard-working subordinate then sat down. Deputy Director Zhang was satisfied that he was in control of the whole situation. He then made a gesture to Wang Xingyun to continue, showing his magnanimity as a winner.

Wang Xingyun then explained in detail:

"Although our purchase price for these tung oil and pig bristles used for trading is not high, it is much higher than the price that Xiao Rizi Trading Company almost snatched at, and is basically the same as the price before the Anti-Japanese War."

"But the prices that our BAT companies pay for foreign transactions have increased several times compared to the prices before the Anti-Japanese War. In the past half month alone, the transaction volume of BAT companies has reached millions of US dollars. Do you think that poor people can come up with so much money to set up this trap for us? They have guns and cannons, so they will just rob directly."

Before Deputy Director Zhang could react after Wang Xingyun finished speaking, the Political Commissar and Minister Gao, who were smoking silently on the other side of the interrogation room, looked up and looked at each other thoughtfully.

"Nonsense! This is just your one-sided statement. The reason why Xiao Rizi wants to spend money to buy it is just to make it easier for you, a big traitor, to understand the true and false of each base. These days, you have taken almost all of them in the name of checking the quality of the goods..."

Deputy Director Zhang was not a stupid man after all. He immediately refuted after realizing what was going on.

Now the person sitting on the other side who was originally wavering in his heart continued to smoke silently.

No one dared to bet whether what Wang Xingyue, who had been captured, said was true or false. Even Minister Gao, Wang Xingyue's direct superior, who knew some details of the trade, did not dare to speak.

The background of the BAT companies that are now trading with the base is too heavy, and the special envoy who is an important middleman has been confirmed to be a fake.

No one can guarantee that these strategic materials were bought by Xiao Zi. If they were really bought by foreigners, even if this matter was exposed, everyone would at least have something to say.

But what if?

What if the Japanese army really bought it?

This is the big thing that will ruin the reputation of everyone here.

The current responsibility is too great and no one dares to shoulder it, not even to mention reporting it to the Northwest Headquarters.

All we can do is let Deputy Director Zhang continue the investigation and make plans after getting solid evidence.

Just as Deputy Director Zhang continued to exchange sharp words with Wang Xingyun, in the secret room in the backyard of Chunlaitang in Shanghai, the radio station started to turn on on time at the agreed contact time.

“Ding ding ding…”

As soon as the machine was turned on, the operator received an urgent secret order from the military. The operator did not dare to delay and immediately handed the telegram to the leader Guo Xiaoan after translating it.

Guo Xiaoan took the urgent telegram and was shocked to see that it said:

"Immediately arrest the special commissioner and transfer him to the base. After investigation, it was found that this person is a fake and is a major Japanese spy."

"Is there any translation error?" Guo Xiaoan asked the radio operator seriously.

"No! This is an urgent secret message. The military has sent it three times to ensure there are no mistakes." The radio operator was sure.

Guo Xiaoan couldn't believe that the special envoy was a Japanese spy. If the special envoy was a Japanese spy, and he had participated in so many contact activities over such a long period of time, wouldn't the entire underground party network be exposed?

This horrific consequence caused Guo Xiaoan, an old underground worker who had worked in enemy-occupied areas for a long time and had long been trained not to show his emotions, to show a rare panic on his face.

"Return the telegram to the military headquarters immediately. I will draft the message myself!"

Guo Xiaoan's voice trembled a little. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that other comrades would be implicated because of his own reasons.

The new radio operator sent by the military did not understand the current urgency, and whispered:

"According to regulations, we don't have an emergency, so we only receive but don't send."

Guo Xiaoan took out a pistol from his pocket, loaded it neatly, and said in a cold voice:

“This is an emergency!”

Soon all the guys in Huichuntang were gathered together, and pistols hidden in the dark began to be distributed. Even two grenades were distributed to each person and deployed in various places.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere enveloped the entire Chunlai Hall.

The verification telegram written in code by Guo Xiaoan himself was sent back to the base. Guo Xiaoan waited anxiously with a pistol in hand.

Soon, the base also responded to Guo Xiaoan using the code word agreed upon in advance.
