Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

"Perhaps you don't care about the changes in the situation in Western countries!" Lingzi raised her hand, her fingertips seeming to point out the mountains and rivers on an invisible world map: "In Germany, their chancellor's ambitions are no longer a secret.

Last year, German troops brazenly stationed in the Rhineland, a place bound by the Treaty of Versailles!

Britain and France watched helplessly as German soldiers crossed the red line without even a proper rebuke!

What surprised the world even more was that the Prime Minister shouted out in his thunderous speech in Berlin: Lebensraum!

The living space he mentioned was to swallow Austria as an appetizer and to dismember Czechoslovakia to build his imperial blueprint!

The veteran generals of the German General Staff were no longer able to stop the galloping German chariot.

After the Treaty of Versailles was torn up in 1935, Germany's military spending soared to 17% of its national income. The army expanded from 10 to 73, the air force had nearly 8000 fighter planes, and the navy launched "Plan Z" to build battleships.

Lingzi paused, then continued, "Look at Italy! After annexing Ethiopia last year, they continued to strengthen their military in North Africa and sent 10 'volunteers' to Spain to support Franco.

At the same time, the naval bases in the Mediterranean are being expanded. The Port of Venice, the Bay of Taranto, and Italian warships are constantly threatening the Mediterranean shipping routes that are the lifeblood of the British Empire!

At this point, Lingzi's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm: "And what about the British, who used to be the guardians of order?

Appeasement! Total appeasement!

Ethiopia was ignored by the gentlemen of London. Instead of jointly sanctioning Mussolini, they were busy signing the shameful "Gentleman's Agreement", handing over the dominance of the Mediterranean as a bargaining chip at a champagne party!

In Spain, the civil war became the focus of the world's attention. Franco's rebels were supported by German and Italian tanks and aircraft, while the Soviet Union aided the Spanish government forces.

The Germans provided Franco with the Condor Legion, about 200 fighter planes, and tank units, and intelligence indicated that they were testing a new tactic of rapid armored advances.

The "Non-Intervention Committee" led by Britain and France was ineffective, Germany and Italy continued to ship in weapons, and American oil companies supplied large quantities of fuel to the rebels.

Lingzi took a deep breath and continued while Zhou Zhengqing was stunned, "Master, all this shows that the appeasement policy of Britain and the United States has completely failed.

The war in Spain, the full-scale invasion of China by our Great Japanese Empire, and Germany's accelerated annexation plan.

The arms race is no longer a means of deterrence but a direct engine of war.

When countries expand their military forces in the name of "security," and military expansion outstrips diplomatic mediation, the collapse of the system is only a matter of time.

Lingzi's speech speed became faster and faster, and her eyes flashed with an almost fanatical light, as if the information that had been accumulated in her chest for a long time had finally found an outlet for release.

She fluently reported the secret military expenditures of various countries, the global resource stockpiling trends, and the market trends of oil and coal futures. . . . Her level of detail and accuracy made Zhou Zhengqing, who was sitting opposite her, feel dazed.

Reiko. . . .

Zhou Zhengqing subconsciously reached into his pocket to light a cigarette to dispel the doubt in his heart, but unfortunately, he came up empty-handed.

This is not the era of information explosion in later generations. Ordinary people basically use letters to communicate with countries around the world, and even radio requires signal relay.

But Reiko can clearly understand the situation in countries around the world. It seems that the intelligence network of the Takazaki family should not be underestimated.

Just as Zhou Zhengqing was surprised, Lingzi continued, "Western countries have all foreseen the coming of war, and their military spending has been increasing year by year, and they are buying up industrial raw materials and minerals everywhere.

The prices of oil and coal are rising year by year.

And we have a strategic material in our hands that only China can fully guarantee for them! ! "Her fingers clenched tightly, as if she were holding onto invisible authority. The demure facade on her face completely peeled away, revealing an excitement beneath, almost like a gambler putting all his chips on the line.

Zhou Zhengqing subconsciously opened the drawer of his desk, took out a pack of cigarettes and opened it.

Lingzi, with a sickly blush on her face, saw Zhou Zhengqing holding a cigarette in his mouth. Her expression changed and the madness on her face quickly disappeared.

Taking out matches from the small bag, Lingzi walked forward and carefully helped Zhou Zhengqing light the cigarette.

Seeing her acting like this, Zhou Zhengqing's troubled heart strangely calmed down a little.

Sakurako's perversion was already scary enough, but Zhou Zhengqing knew that Lingzi, who was suppressing her excitement, was even more...

The sense of absurdity drove away the initial shock, and he rubbed his chin, which had a light stubble, and asked tentatively, "Don't beat around the bush, Reiko.

You're so excited... Are you trying to tell me that the good stuff you're talking about that can influence other countries is the pig hair I heard you talk about before?"

There was obvious uncertainty in his tone, and even a hint of subtle mockery.

After all, the last time Lingzi introduced the products produced in Manchuria, among a large number of items, only this "pig hair" left a particularly deep impression on him. It was both strange and difficult to link it with "strategic materials".

"Puff..." Lingzi was almost choked by Zhou Zhengqing's smoke. The determined look on her face instantly cracked, and was stained with a helpless and mundane air: "Master! It's pig bristles! The bristles!"

Lingzi was so anxious that she almost stamped her feet. She stretched out her hand and gestured vigorously in the air, as if the pronunciation and shape of this word had to be engraved into the other person's brain: "It's not those limp hairs on a pig!

It's the hardest and toughest layer between the pig's neck and back, each bristle is as straight as a needle and can withstand boiling water and oil. It's hard bristle!"

Zhou Zhengqing watched Lingzi instantly fall from "international strategic analyst" to "a little maid fooled by her own young master."

This contrast made him laugh, and the solemn atmosphere just now dissipated a lot.

He waved his hand casually, with a hint of doubt: "Okay, okay, bristle, bristle! Even if it's hard.

Lingzi, we have to be practical.

I also know that foreigners eat cheese and steak, but don't like pork.

But just tell me, don’t they raise pigs in their own country?

Krauts, Gallic chickens, Uncle Sam... Are their pig pens just for decoration?

Is it worth traveling across the ocean and all the hardship to come to the Far East to buy this... hard hair?"

Zhou Zhengqing deliberately emphasized the word "hard hair", with the smile on his lips still not fading. He just thought that this was Lingzi exaggerating, praising an ordinary thing to the sky.

Zhou Zhengqing didn't believe it at all.

Last time Lingzi mentioned the importance of pig bristles, but he felt that no matter how important it was, it was just pig bristles. How could it catch the eyes of consuls from various countries?

He curled his lips, his face full of "Who are you trying to fool?"

Lingzi looked at Zhou Zhengqing's stubborn expression and took a deep breath: "Master, don't underestimate it!

Right now, the major powers in the world are frantically preparing weapons, including guns, tanks, planes and warships. Which of them can be separated from brushes?

But the best bristles for this brush are the ones from the countryside of China!"
