Chapter 871 He Seems to Have Misunderstood
"Minister Chen, do you want to see Major General Peter?" Mogeev's face obviously became a little solemn.
"He has a lot of things to do right now. With the war coming, his International Military Department needs to access a lot of intelligence. Where does he find the time?"
"Major General Peter?" Chen Yang asked in surprise: "According to the intelligence last month, Mr. Peter was still a colonel..."
Mogeev said calmly, "It's normal that you don't know. Mr. Peter was promoted to the position of Minister of the Military Department just a week ago. The former Minister of the Military Intelligence Department, Major General Vagtorev, was shot by Minister Moloto because of intelligence errors."
"The Military Intelligence Department had clearly received news of Germany's massive attack on the Soviet Union, but was unable to confirm it, which made the minister very angry."
"If they had been more efficient, perhaps our border would not have been captured by the Germans so quickly."
"Under the current situation, the head of the intelligence department naturally needs to bear the responsibility."
"So, I think that Major General Peter will definitely not come to China to see you at this time."
"Besides, from what we know about you, it seems that your No. 76 does not have the ability to access German intelligence."
"Am I to understand that the Japanese want you to hand over the information?"
"Do you think our Ministry of Internal Affairs will believe the intelligence given by the Japanese?"
Chen Yang picked up the red wine and said, "It turns out that Mr. Mogeev is worried about the authenticity of the intelligence."
"It seems that Your Excellency is still somewhat suspicious of Mr. Chen's identity."
Mogeyev was silent for a moment and said, "It's not suspicion, but I don't understand why Minister Chen did this?"
"You are now working for the Japanese. Although you have traded medicine with us, intelligence is not medicine."
"Every piece of intelligence has a time limit. We don't want to waste time verifying the authenticity of intelligence after we obtain it."
Chen Yang laughed and said seriously: "Mr. Mogeev, don't you know that Chen is not only the Minister of the Joint Transportation Department, but also works for the Jinling government."
"You can cooperate with Shancheng, why can't you cooperate with us?"
"Jinling government?" Mogeyev looked Chen Yang up and down and asked in confusion, "Minister Chen, do you mean that the Jinling government will cooperate with us?"
As soon as the words came out, Mogeev subconsciously shuddered all over as if he felt something incredible.
What Chen Yang implied in his words was that the Jinling government wanted to cooperate with the Soviet Union and share intelligence.
What was their purpose in doing this? Could it be that the Nanjing government's goal was to gain recognition from the Soviet Union?
This request may sound a bit absurd, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible.
The Nanjing government has always been using the name of saving the country through peace, claiming that it is respecting the legacy of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. It is indeed understandable that their regime wants to gain recognition from other countries.
Under current international law, one must be recognized by other countries in order to have the status of an international legal person.
Not to mention anything else, just like Mongolia, if it wants to separate from the Republic of China and become independent, it needs to obtain recognition from other countries.
The same is true for the Nanjing government. Although countries such as Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union now only recognize the Nationalist government in Shancheng, the Nanjing government is also trying to find suitable partners through the influence of the Japanese.
At present, only Japan recognizes the regime of the Nanjing Government. Other countries basically have no connection with the Nanjing Government. Simply put, they do not send ministers, agents, or even offices.
This made the position of the Jinling government very embarrassing.
When Chen Yang said that they hoped to cooperate with the Soviet Union, did he mean that the Soviet government also wanted to recognize the status of the Jinling government?
No wonder he had to look for Peter Suvalevsky. With Moguyev's status and position, he really couldn't make this decision.
"Minister Chen, what you said is of great importance. I don't know how to answer you." Mogeev showed a complicated look on his face.
He was just a small intelligence officer in the International Economic and Trade Department, and even the transaction of Penicillin had to be approved by his superiors.
How could he be qualified to represent his superiors in recognizing the status of the Jinling government?
Chen Yang was slightly stunned. It was just information sharing. How could it be of great importance?
At this moment, even he himself did not expect that a casual remark would cause such a big trouble.
"So, I hope to have Major General Peter come to China so that we can discuss the issue of cooperation in depth."
Mogeev nodded and said, "If everything is really as Minister Chen said, then Major General Peter really needs to come to China."
"But I'm still a little confused. This kind of thing should be discussed by the Ministry of National Defense or the Jinling Military Commission. Why would you come forward?"
Chen Yang was a little confused, but he still said calmly: "Chen is a member of the Military Commission, and will soon serve as the deputy mayor of Shanghai."
"I think I am qualified to discuss cooperation with Major General Peter."
Mogeyev suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect Minister Chen to have multiple duties."
"This is not surprising. According to our intelligence, there are not many powerful people in the Jinling government. Those who hold great power basically hold multiple positions."
"For example, that leader is the president of both houses of parliament, and the president of the Legislative Yuan, Chen, also holds several positions."
"However, if you want to meet with Major General Peter, I feel like something is missing..."
Chen Yang understood what Mogeev meant, opened his briefcase, took out an envelope that had been packed long ago, and said, "This is the latest intelligence we have obtained from Germany."
"This information is a gift. I hope that Major General Peter can see our strength and sincerity."
"It seems that Minister Chen has been prepared for this," Mogeev took the envelope and said, "Please rest assured, I will tell Major General Peter exactly what you meant."
"However, with all due respect, Major General Peter still needs to consult his superiors before making a decision on your request."
"By the way, regarding the medicine matter, Minister Chen, can you give us an accurate time? This will increase your superiors' favor towards you."
For some reason, Chen Yang felt that there was something else behind Mogeyev's words.
Doesn't he just want to cooperate with the head of the intelligence department? Why does he need his superiors' approval?
Have their processes become so complicated now?
Looking at Mogeev's solemn expression, Chen Yang silently calculated and said, "The earliest time will be around July 20th."
Mogeev seemed relieved when he heard this: "That's great. Headquarters estimated that it would take one or two months to wait, but I didn't expect it would only take more than twenty days."
"Minister Chen, with your efficiency, I believe Minister Moloto will also be willing to cooperate with you."
"Just wait for good news."
"Farewell."
