Chapter 40: Chen Jie's Visit

Chen Jie has been working in Germany for many years, but it is the first time he has come to Bremerhaven. Flying all the way from Berlin by plane, Chen Jie felt that the bones on his body were about to fall apart, but the SS soldiers on the airport with loaded guns made Chen Jie, who had to step off the plane and was about to move his body, instantly stiffened, he didn't expect that Zhuo Fei's relationship with the SS would be so good, and he would actually ask the SS commander here to personally send a car to send him to the Jewish camp to meet Zhuo Fei.

As the speeding military sedan left the airport and drove westward for more than ten miles, Chen Jie saw through the window a continuous array of wooden fences, behind which there were countless tents and wooden houses. As he got closer to the fenced area full of tents and wooden houses, Chen Jie began to see people in his sight, and Chen Jie knew that the Jews who appeared behind the fence were Jews.

"Gentlemen, I think you should already know your mission and mission. The working environment here can be very boring or even boring, but I want you to know that you are not working here for me, but for yourself and your fellow Jews who are still stranded in Austria. This is the fourth time that Zhuo Fei has carried out brainwashing remarks for these Jewish craftsmen in the printing house.

The printing of counterfeit money did not go very smoothly, except for the successive printing of some counterfeit one-dollar pound bills, the more than 100 Jewish craftsmen and counterfeiters who were selected by Zhuo Fei to come here have no achievements. Zhuo Fei could not tear his face with them until he moved them to China, so he could only take a soft attitude towards these Jewish craftsmen, hoping that they would come to their senses and re-examine the situation they were facing.

"Gentlemen, this is Bremerhaven, or German territory. I know that some of you are ready to flee here, and I would like to ask, where can you go? Do you have a boat? Even if you can find a boat to leave here, how can you guarantee that you will be able to get on board? And after the ship leaves the port, it will be inspected by the German Navy, and I am sure that the German Navy will not treat you like this. I would like to remind you that once you are captured by the military, your visas will be invalidated, and you will no longer be able to get my help, because I cannot fight against the German military. ”

"I said you and your family are safe here, but that doesn't mean you don't have to do anything here. It is impossible for all people to work without work, and in this camp, except for the elderly over 60 years old and children under 10 years old, all other people, both men and women, need to work in exchange for daily necessities. It is up to you whether you want to have such a life, whether you live with dignity and respect from others or live like a dog, it's up to you. ”

The Jewish craftsmen who were gathered together had long since split into two groups, and the first Jewish craftsmen who came here were obviously still a little dissatisfied with Zhuo Fei's words just now, while the craftsmen who were sent here by the SS or Vivien were silent. "Sir, I have a suggestion." Moryanko, who had a pair of slender eyes, squeezed out of the crowd and shouted to Zhuo Fei, and after receiving Zhuo Fei's signal, Moryanko slanted the corners of his mouth with disdain at the Jewish craftsmen opposite.

"Sir, I would like to say that it is better to divide the work here into groups, and I am willing to take on the work of printing pounds with some people, but I need to be paid a reward commensurate with our efforts, including beer and cigarettes, and of course bacon and eggs." Moriyanko did not hesitate to put forward his idea, and the Jewish craftsmen present were instantly dumbfounded, no one would have thought that Moryanko would make such a suggestion.

Zhuo Fei is no stranger to this Moryanko, the first finished product in the printing house is one yuan and 5 yuan face value of pounds, Zhuo Fei knows that in the middle, Moryanko has played a great role. Glancing at Vic Albert, who was in charge of the daily work of the entire printing house, Zhuo Fei immediately agreed to Moryanko's request, "Mr. Moryanko, as long as you can come up with what I want, the conditions you put forward are not a problem." I promise you'll get cigarettes and beer, bacon, eggs and of course, and I'll even get you poker and whiskey. ”

The matter of the printing house was quickly resolved, and at the suggestion of Moryanko, Vic Albert divided the printing of the British pound, the dollar, the franc and the Deutsche mark, which would not only avoid hostility among the craftsmen, but also effectively improve the efficiency of the work. finally solved the matter here, and before Zhuo Fei could breathe a sigh of relief, Bowman came over and told Zhuo Fei that Chen Jie had come from Berlin with a few young men and women with him.

"Ambassador Chen Jie, welcome to Bremerhaven." Zhuo Fei, who sighed secretly, heard that Chen Jie was here, and had to cheer up and treat it carefully, while greeting Chen Jie, Zhuo Fei was also secretly paying attention to the young men and women brought by Chen Jie. Chen Jie naturally brought Chinese, three men, two women and five people, but Zhuo Fei looked at their clothes and standing postures, and he already understood what these people roughly do.

Among the five young people of three men and two women, the young man standing at the back obviously has a different temperament from the other four, although the other party is wearing civilian clothes, but Zhuo Fei always feels that the other party is wearing civilian clothes as military uniforms. Looking around at the five people out of the corner of his eye, Zhuo Fei smiled slightly, this is Bremerhaven, even if Chen Jie wants to be unfavorable to himself on this trip, I am afraid that the SS and Bowman stationed here are not vegetarians.

"Ambassador Chen, since you're here, I'll take you on a tour of the containment site first." Seeing that Chen Jie didn't mean to introduce those young people to himself, Zhuo Fei didn't ask much, just took Chen Jie and a few people around the containment point, and personally introduced some arrangements in the containment point to Chen Jie and the others. The Jews in the shelter all had visas signed by He Fengshan, but this shelter was established by Zhuo Fei, so the Jews in the shelter all showed a kind smile to Chen Jie and the others.

"Boss Zhuo, what are they laughing at us?" The Jews who took off their hats and bowed down to Zhuo Fei along the road did not arouse the curiosity of Chen Jie and the others, they only thought that this was a sign of politeness on the part of the Jews, but Chen Jie showed curiosity about the Jews to a few of them for no reason, so he whispered to Zhuo Fei who was walking beside him.

Zhuo Fei waved his hand to greet the old Jewish people who saluted him, and answered Chen Jie's inquiry with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just to show their gratitude to the Chinese, thank the Chinese for giving them a chance to live." Seeing that Chen Jie still seemed to be puzzled, Zhuo Fei continued to explain, "The way of thinking of Westerners is different from that of us Easterners, and Westerners value interests more. ”

"In other words, because you and Dr. He are both Chinese, these Jews will smile at us?" After listening to Zhuo Fei's explanation, Chen Jie immediately understood, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these Jews were really snobbish enough. Because the containment site had just been set up, there were mostly tents in the wooden fence, and there were not many wooden houses, but Chen Jie and the others saw that a large number of young Jews were using various tools to build wooden houses.

"More and more Jews are coming here, and the camp is facing a shortage of supplies, and all Jews who enter the camp must trade their labor for food and necessary supplies, and no one can violate it except the elderly and children." Regarding the incomprehension of Chen Jie and others, Zhuo Fei gave such an explanation, seeing that those young Jews in labor did not show the slightest expression of reluctance, Chen Jie and others were immediately relieved.

"Boss Zhuo, after the last time we met, I have already sent a telegram to China. Chairman Jiang is very interested in that batch of weapons, and the main purpose of my visit this time is to take a look at the batch of weapons you mentioned. After walking around the containment site, Chen Jie finally couldn't hold his breath and said the main purpose of his trip.

"No problem, now I can show you the weapons." Knowing that Chen Jie's trip was instructed by the national government, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and immediately took Chen Jie and the others to a row of wooden houses in the detention center. "This is where the weapons are disassembled, maintained, and repaired at the containment site, where all the Jewish artisans who have come into contact with the firearms are here, and they have to complete the maintenance and repair of 2,000 Mauser rifles every day. At this rate, by the end of July, I will be here to complete the repair and maintenance of this batch of 100,000 Mauser rifles. ”

Looking at the Mauser rifles on the long wooden case that were disassembled into parts by the Jewish craftsmen, Chen Jie's breathing couldn't help but become heavy, looking at the speed of these more than 200 Jewish craftsmen, not to mention the maintenance of 2,000 rifles a day, even 3,000 can complete the repair and maintenance process. "These are some of the guns that we have already maintained and repaired, about fifteen thousand or so, and as soon as I arrive from the American hired fleet, these guns will be taken by sea with the first batch of Jews to the port of Canton."

"Great, great." Chen Jie suddenly grabbed Zhuo Fei's right hand and shook it incessantly, and there was already a little moisture in his eyes. As long as 15,000 Mauser rifles that have been maintained and repaired are shipped back to China, the Nationalist Government will be able to immediately pull up a German armament division, and as long as the Nationalist Government has such a few German armament units in its hands, the situation in the country will be turned upside down.
