Chapter 41: The Second Son

"That is, it is difficult to find a ship, otherwise I would have been able to transport at least 50,000 rifles back to China at one time, and Britain and France have already coexisted with Germany on the surface, but in fact they have been secretly suppressing Germany by various means. If we hire ships from Britain and France, we may be exposed to the Japanese by the British and French, which is dangerous for us and Germany, so I can only hire ships from the United States to complete the transportation of these firearms. ”

Chen Jie proposed to increase the number of ships to increase the transportation of these weapons, but Zhuo Fei directly gave such an answer, and while sighing secretly, Chen Jie also had to nod his head in surprise at Zhuo Fei's careful arrangement and thoughtfulness. "Boss Zhuo, have you thought about it, what if the Japanese attack Guangzhou? Our coastline is all under the control of the Japanese, what about the remaining weapons? ”

"Quite simply, as I said earlier, Westerners value profit. As long as enough benefits are given to the British, I think the British are willing to use the spirit of humanitarianism to allow these Jewish refugees to go ashore in Yangon Harbor and be diverted to China. Zhuo Fei did not show any panic in the question raised by Chen Jie, but immediately gave the answer, but his answer made Chen Jie frown.

"Boss Zhuo, I guess your method will not work, the British have been forced by the Japanese to threaten and have closed the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Some of the materials donated by overseas Chinese in Nanyang are still in Yangon Port, and the British took the benefits of those overseas Chinese, but did not let those materials be transported to China by land. This topic is obviously not pleasant, Chen Jie's face gradually darkened, and his words revealed his dissatisfaction with Britain.

"I naturally know that without the support of Britain and the United States, the Japanese would not have been able to develop the situation in which they would not have existed. China's territory is so vast that an established empire like Britain is more willing to treat China as an imaginary enemy than the Japanese, who are biting everywhere but living on islands. The Japanese had a war with China, but it did not endanger the interests of the British along the Yangtze River, and the interests of the Japanese who lost their interests in China were at odds with the Japanese, or whether they joined forces with Japan to contain China, I think such a question, let alone the British, is not difficult for any country to make a choice. ”

Chen Jie didn't think too much about the British's closure of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, but after listening to Zhuo Fei's explanation, Chen Jie suddenly realized that there were still so many ways hidden in it. Receiving a glimmer of gaze from his side, Chen Jie immediately lowered his voice and said to Zhuo Fei, "Boss Zhuo, do you have a relatively safe place here, I brought the special envoy of the chairman of the committee, and there are some things that need to be discussed with you by the special envoy of the chairman in detail." ”

Special Envoy of the Chairman? Chen Jie's words stunned Zhuo Fei, calculating the time when he met Chen Jie last time, Zhuo Fei was somewhat vague, according to the time plan, it was impossible for the people sent from China to rush to Germany so quickly, could it be that Chen Jie wanted to borrow such a name and had something else to talk to him? With such doubts, Zhuo Fei took Chen Jie and the others to his temporary residence, and motioned to Bowman to guard their surroundings, so that Zhuo Fei could concentrate on the upcoming conversation.

"Boss Zhuo, hello, I'm Jiang Weiguo." Everyone walked into the tent where Zhuo Fei lived, and the young man who had been very suspicious of Zhuo Fei stretched out his right hand to Zhuo Fei and took the initiative to introduce himself to Zhuo Fei. "I am currently studying at the Army Munich Military Academy, the chairman is my father, I am the second in the family, I think the two of us should be about the same age, you can also call me the second brother." ,

Zhuo Fei was really dumbfounded this time, Jiang Weiguo (October 6, 1916 - September 23, 1997), young name Jianhao, Hao Niantang, Chiang Kai-shek's second son (later said to be his adopted son, the actual biological father is Dai Jitao, and his biological mother is the Japanese nurse Shigematsu Kaneko), successively served as the director of the Kuomintang armored corps unit, the head of the chariot regiment, the chief of staff, deputy commander, and commander of the armored corps command, the vice president of the Army Command and Staff University, and the "secretary general of the National Security Council"; He has made great achievements in the study of military strategy, and has been regarded as a "military strategist" by the Taiwan military.

Such a great god stood in front of him alive, and seemed to be affectionate to call the other party's second brother, Zhuo Fei hated to pinch his thigh on the spot, to see if it was a dream. Secretly took a deep breath, Zhuo Fei, who tried his best to keep his expression as usual, stretched out his hand and shook Jiang Weiguo together, and smiled at the other party, "Welcome to the second son to visit me, the conditions here are simple, but let the second son laugh at you." ”

Jiang Weiguo did not let go of Zhuo Fei's right hand immediately, but stretched out his left hand and slapped the back of Zhuo Fei's right hand a few times, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Boss Zhuo, this is your fault, I have just said it, we are of the same age, you can just call me second brother." If you've been seeing me like this, I'm embarrassed to tell you what my father has told me. ”

Jiang Weiguo's reaction and actions made Zhuo Fei shout that this guy was worthy of being from a political family, and there was no hint of wooing between his words, but it could make people feel a burst of warmth from the bottom of their hearts. It's just that Zhuo Fei is no longer the time when he will be excited when he sees a guerrilla leader, since Zhuo Fei has seen Hitler and many German magnates, he is no longer so enthusiastic about historical celebrities, not to mention that he is already in this era, and there are too many opportunities to meet historical celebrities.

Zhuo Fei smiled at the moment, "The second son is a lover at first glance, Zhuo is just a businessman, second son, don't force me anymore." Zhuo Fei's answer made Jiang Weiguo's face change, but he immediately returned to normal, and his expression did not show the decadence and impatience after being rejected by Zhuo Fei. Jiang Weiguo's reaction also made Zhuo Fei more and more cautious between words, dealing with such a young and old person is really a very hard thing.

Zhuo Fei was secretly wary of Jiang Weiguo, but after a brief conversation with Zhuo Fei, Jiang Weiguo also had the same idea in his heart. "Brother Zhuo, there are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the order from China directly." signaled the two men and two women he brought to go out to guard, and Jiang Weiguo informed Zhuo Fei of the content of the telegram sent from China in front of Chen Jie.

"Brother Zhuo, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in China is very bad, after experiencing the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, the elite troops of the national army suffered heavy casualties, especially the several German armoury units formed by the chairman of the committee have almost scrapped the old foundation. At the end of March, Taierzhuang won a great victory, although the national army killed more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, but Xuzhou was still lost. When I learned that Brother Zhuo had a batch of German-style weapons ready to be shipped back to China to support the Anti-Japanese War, I asked my father for this errand, first, because I wanted to meet a patriotic businessman like Brother Zhuo, and secondly, to discuss with Brother Zhuo how to transport these weapons back to China. ”

Jiang Weiguo's words made Zhuo Fei laugh secretly in his heart, and said that Jiang Someone's family is all human spirits, and he speaks so cleverly. "I believe that the second prince has already seen the Jews here with me just now, right? The fleet I hired in the United States is coming here, and humanitarianism is recognized internationally, and the second prince must know about it, and when the time comes, he will hide his weapons in the cabin and use these Jews as cover on the surface, even the Japanese will not dare to openly intercept the ships transporting refugees. ”

Zhuo Fei's plan had already been told to Chen Jie, and Zhuo Fei also believed that Chen Jie must have his own channels to inform the national government of this matter, if it weren't for the fact that Jiang Weiguo was sitting in front of him, Zhuo Fei would not have repeated this so-called plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea again. "If it weren't for the Japanese blockade of our open seas, I might have been able to ship them all back to China in one go, but now, even with Jews as cover, I am afraid it will not take a short time."

Zhuo Fei did not tell Jiang Weiguo about his subsequent moves, and he would not tell the other party that he had concealed 200,000 Mauser rifles, and he wanted to do this for mutual benefit, rather than blindly paying for his own side. Seeing that Jiang Weiguo was just bowing his head and muttering about the delivery of weapons, Zhuo Fei took the initiative to say, "Second son, since the country already knows about my plan, what I want to know is, how does the country plan to settle these Jews?" This is very important to me. ”

"Brother Zhuo, if you don't ask, I will also talk about it." Jiang Weiguo smiled at Zhuo Fei. "Domestic means respecting the Jews' own choice, there have always been Jews settled in Shanghai, according to your plan, Brother Zhuo, there will not be more than 200,000 Jews covering these weapons, I think the Shanghai concession should be enough to accommodate these Jews." Jiang Weiguo's words made Zhuo Fei shake his head again and again, although he didn't want to make Jiang Weiguo's face, but this matter was related to his follow-up plan, so Zhuo Fei had to put forward a contradictory opinion.

"Second son, this can't be done, Shanghai is now under the control of the Japanese, and the Japanese and Germany have the intention of forming a private alliance. If these Jews were to be placed in Shanghai, the Japanese would inevitably poison these Jews in order to cater to Germany. I don't want to just treat these Jews as a disposable tool, and if I can, I'd like to ask the second son to convince the chairman. I don't want any prosperous place, even if it's barren mountains and mountains, as long as the chairman allocates me a county territory, I can settle these Jews myself. ”

Zhuo Fei's words made Jiang Weiguo feel stunned, he didn't expect Zhuo Fei to make such a request, the territory of a county, is this guy trying to make a country within a country? Jiang Weiguo was immediately ready to reject Zhuo Fei, but saw that Chen Jie, who had not spoken, was squeezing his eyes at him.
