The bureau chief was excited. He paced back and forth in the room a couple of times, waving his hand as he walked, and said, "I was planning to send another telegram to urge the intelligence department, but I didn't expect Zhiheng to act so quickly and have already purchased it. It's just in time! Oh! By the way, has it been checked? Is it confirmed to be genuine? We can't afford to buy counterfeit goods and make a big joke of ourselves."
He then realized that with Ning Zhiheng's temperament and caution, how could he be wrong? He had been overly concerned and had been worrying unnecessarily.
Wei Liangbi also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director. This has been personally verified by Zhiheng and is confirmed to be correct. However, the intelligence department spent a full million US dollars to purchase this. That's quite an expense!"
"Not expensive, not expensive at all, even two million would be worth it!" the bureau chief said repeatedly.
Upon hearing this, Wei Liangbi couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself, thinking, "It's easy for you to talk when you're not in the same boat. Even if the intelligence department is very wealthy, spending such a large sum of money at once will probably be a huge financial blow."
The director looked at Wei Liangbi and smiled, "I know what you're thinking. The country is facing difficulties right now, and I don't have any extra funds. Besides, I know Zhiheng's financial situation. You don't lack this money. But don't worry, I won't let your Second Division suffer. This time, I will reward the meritorious personnel handsomely. If there are any people who need to be commended, just report them. I won't hesitate to do it."
At this moment, he was in high spirits and in a great mood, so he was easy to talk to and immediately made a promise to Wei Liangbi.
Upon hearing this, Wei Liangbi was overjoyed. To be honest, their Second Action Division was not short of money, but rather of military merits and opportunities for promotion. Now that he heard the Director say this, he quickly stood up straight and said loudly, "Thank you, Director. I will go back immediately to write a report on my merits and ask you to review it."
The director waved his hand and said, "Don't rush. Let me ask you, since the blueprints were purchased, the British can also produce them. If they succeed, then this move will be ineffective. Didn't Zhiheng explain this?"
The director was extremely meticulous in his considerations. If he wanted to use these two blueprints as a surprise attack, he had to cut off the British's access to the blueprints.
Wei Liangbi quickly explained, "Zhiheng has also considered this point. The blueprints were purchased by Huo Yueze. The other party was very cautious during the transaction, and Huo Yueze had no opportunity to make a move, so the uniqueness of the blueprints cannot be guaranteed. Considering that the other party defected from the British intelligence agency, it is unlikely that they are trading with the British. However, it is hard to say whether they are trading with other forces. But Zhiheng can guarantee that we are the first party to trade with this person. Therefore, Zhiheng suggests that we hand over the blueprints to the British as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid things might get complicated if we wait too long."
Upon hearing this, the bureau chief knew that things could not be perfect. The fact that the intelligence department was able to purchase the blueprints in time had already exceeded his expectations. Asking them to guarantee the uniqueness of the blueprints was indeed asking too much.
Now we must use it before the British get their hands on the blueprints. With that in mind, the Director could no longer sit still. He immediately ordered, "There is no time to lose. Send capable people to meet the personnel delivering the blueprints as soon as possible and get the blueprint film as quickly as possible. There must be no accidents along the way."
Wei Liangbi quickly stood at attention and replied, "Yes, please rest assured, we have made ample preparations, and there are absolutely no safety issues!"
"Alright, I'll go see the Chairman now. Report any new developments to me immediately!"
"yes!"
Eager to curry favor with the Chairman and reverse the negative impact of the day, the Director couldn't wait any longer. He quickly left his office, departed from the Bureau headquarters, and headed towards the General Headquarters.
