Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

Ma Liang immediately showed a painful expression. Mrs. Zhang gloated to Mrs. Li and whispered:

"See, you feel bad about the money! Why are you pretending to be rich in front of us? If you have the ability, just buy a car yourself! Why are you pretending to be rich when you can just rent a car?"

Mrs. Zhang's voice was a little loud, and even Lin Er wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

On the other hand, Ma Liang seemed to be temporarily deaf and was counting the dollars one by one.

Then Ma Liang pretended to be generous and put ten silver dollars on the hood of the car, and said loudly:

"I've ordered it, a total of ten dollars. If you say it's not enough, I won't admit it!"

This funny scene made the boy and girl who followed Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li cover their mouths and laugh.

Ma Liang hummed a little tune as if nothing had happened and walked straight back home.

The next afternoon, Ma Liang changed his equipment and came to the Hans Consulate in Shanghai.

I followed yesterday's process again, but this time it was a little different from yesterday at the American Consulate.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but we can't give you the price of two million dollars."

After looking at the intelligence samples provided by Ma Liang, Counselor Brad, the public intelligence officer of the Hans Consulate, directly rejected Ma Liang's offer of two million US dollars.

The reason why Brad rejected Ma Liang's offer was simple. Xiao Rizi and Hans signed the "International Anti-Supply and Production Agreement" in Berlin on November 36, 11.

According to the agreement, the two countries must "exchange intelligence" and "work closely together" in opposing international trade.

Although Hans and Xiao Rizi had not yet entered into further in-depth cooperation and signed the infamous Tripartite Pact at this time, they were already potential allies.

Secondly, the army and navy posed no direct or potential threat to Hans who was far away in Europe.

Unlike America, which was always worried about Xiao Ri's challenge to its dominance in the Pacific Ocean, Hans naturally was unwilling to pay a high price to buy Xiao Ri's code book.

This is also why Ma Liang offered America a sky-high price of 10 million US dollars, but he directly discounted it to a "low price" of 2 million US dollars with Hans.

There is no fixed price for the value of intelligence. The same intelligence is priceless to those who need it, but to those who don't need it, it's too difficult to even use it as a waste.

However, by listening carefully, Ma Liang could tell from Brad's words that the other party still wanted the code book, but his price was too high and the other party was just waiting to bargain.

After all, being able to clearly understand the specific developments of his allies' daily lives is not as urgent for Hans as it is for America, but at least it can help him gain the upper hand in internal cooperation, which is also necessary.

"I wonder how much you think he is worth?" Ma Liang is now the weaker party in the negotiation.

Brad was silent for a moment, then made a quote:

"Two hundred thousand dollars!"

After hearing Brad's offer, even Ma Liang, a top agent, couldn't help but get a little anxious. This was a discount that hit his cell!

"50 US dollars, not a penny less!"

············

After several rounds of verbal battles, the two sides finally reached a deal of US$300,000, but the additional condition was that the payment should be made in arms. The specific list is as follows:

G98K狙击步枪 200支 （带准星版本，4倍瞄准镜100支，6倍瞄准镜100支）毛瑟G98K狙击型　　FN公司勃朗宁大威力手枪（M1935） 500支 （要求定制，枪管突出枪口1.2公分，可外接消音器）勃朗宁大威力手枪（M1935）　　消音器（可安装在九毫米手枪上型号） 1000支

············

Looking at the various equipment listed by Ma Liang, Brad, who was originally happy about the low price of the intelligence, suddenly became serious.

Because he had never seen many of the weapons and equipment above, he had only heard of them.

For example, the MP38 and its improved model, which later became the famous MP40 submachine gun, were only equipped in small batches by Hans' elite troops at that time.

It can be said that there is not even one in the whole of Asia. Only Brad's identity as an agent gives him a certain understanding of these things, and the rest of the people have never even heard of them.

How did this mysterious Asian man know this?

"Sir, can I ask you a question?" Brad took the initiative to test.

"cannot!"

Of course Ma Liang knew what the other party was going to ask. Many of the things on the list were products that had not yet been mass-produced and were only produced in small quantities for trial use.

He is an Asian, and he listed a lot of confidential weapons and equipment right at the beginning. Anyone would be suspicious.

Brad was not angry, he just said:

"Sorry, many of the equipment on your list are still trial versions, and the prices need to be recalculated! I need to ask my superiors for the specific prices!"

More than an hour later, Brad walked into the reception room with the consulate's professional accountant and said apologetically:

"Sir, according to calculations by our professional accountants, the total value of this batch of equipment is 100 million US dollars. Your reward is not enough to cover the price of this batch of equipment."

The equipment that Ma Liang wants are all high-tech equipment, so the price will naturally be very high.

For example, the seemingly common G98K sniper rifle, strictly speaking, Hans does not specialize in producing sniper rifles.

The so-called 98K sniper rifle is nothing more than a high-precision rifle selected from the mass-produced G98K conventional rifles, which is then equipped with a sniper scope.

In this case, you may not be able to pick out one out of ten guns, so the price will naturally rise.

In addition, since it is sold to foreigners, the price has to be doubled. This is why arms have always made huge profits since ancient times.

Brad thought he had Ma Liang under control. No matter what era it was, 100 million US dollars was not a small sum of money.

Just when Brad was about to use this batch of equipment as a threat to get a share of Ma Liang's intelligence channels, Ma Liang spoke.

"One million is one million, but I need this shipment to arrive as soon as possible!"

"Are you sure?" Brad was a little surprised that Ma Liang talked about one million as if it were 100 yuan.

"Of course! Cash on delivery, pay in cash!"

There was a reason why Ma Liang was so anxious.

In another year, the Japanese army will occupy all coastal ports and block all of China's sea routes for foreign aid.

Moreover, Hans will soon adjust his policy toward the Celestial Empire, completely stop interacting with the Celestial Empire, and return to a more peaceful life.

It can be said that once this time window is missed, Ma Liang may not be able to buy this batch of Hans' latest equipment even if he takes out 500 million US dollars.

What Brad didn't know was that the one who was anxious now was Ma Liang.
