Chapter 34: Timely Rain in America

Under Zhuo Fei's tossing and turning to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, he finally got what he wanted from the Germans, but unfortunately he also tossed all his funds. After visiting Gustav, Zhuo Fei took Lin Biao and others to Bremerhaven non-stop, and under Zhuo Fei's emphasis, a large number of hired ships were rushing to Bremerhaven, and Zhuo Fei was ready to transport the arms assembled in Bremerhaven out of Germany at one time.

The number of Jews assembled in Bremerhaven had plummeted to less than 5,000, and if it weren't for Zhuo Fei's desire to borrow these Jews, perhaps they would have been sent to China long ago. "Organize people to change the livery of the heavy equipment at once, and don't let the Jews sit idle until the ship reaches the shore." The captain of the guard who remained in Bremerhaven immediately organized the manpower, and the scene of thousands of people working together appeared in the refugee camp on the outskirts of Bremerhaven.

"Jews are people who are born to pursue interests, and although they have faith, when they are asked to choose interests and beliefs, almost all Jews will abandon their beliefs and choose interests. The Germans would not have hated the Jews so much if they had not been wounded too badly in World War I, and the Germans have always believed that in World War I, it was because the Jews manipulated the market to inflate prices that the supplies in the rear were delayed from reaching the front. Lin Biao and others didn't understand why the Germans were so disciplined by the Jews, and Zhuo Fei could only give such an explanation.

"Of course, I didn't help the Jews in vain, they had to work for the Umbrella Company for five years, and after five years, maybe this damn war would be over. They can choose to continue working for me, or leave China and return to their holy land, and I think that as long as I give them enough benefits, many of them will choose to stay and continue to work for me. Population, sometimes a burden, but more often than not, it is opportunity and strength, especially when there are many skilled workers and technicians among these Jews. ”

When Zhuo Fei said these words, the expression on his face was very calm, but Lin Biao heard an unusual taste from Zhuo Fei's words. "Give me time, give me a chance, and I can build a desert into the most prosperous city in the world." Zhuo Fei smiled confidently and turned his head to look at Lin Biao and the others, "I'm not bragging, you don't know the power of science and technology, as long as I have a large number of skilled workers, technicians and scientists in my hands, I dare to say such things." ”

Before the topic of Jews was over, the guards came to report to Zhuo Fei that someone from the United States had arrived. Zhuo Fei thought it was Andy, but after hurrying back to the camp, Zhuo Fei learned that it was an old acquaintance from the United States, Rabbi Dustin. "Hello Big Rabbi, I didn't expect you to be here, welcome to Bremerhaven." Not caring about Dustin's outfit at all, Zhuo Fei opened his arms and hugged the other party.

didn't introduce Lin Biao to Dustin, Zhuo Fei just took Dustin to his cabin, "Zhuo, I'm really sorry, the funds promised to you have not been in place." When Zhuo Fei closed the door, Dustin had already bowed deeply to Zhuo Fei, "There are some problems on the American side, and the committee thinks that directly providing you with financial support may attract government intervention, so after our research, we decided to use that money to order the materials and equipment you need directly in the United States." I came this time to play the front station, and the materials and equipment ordered arrived later. ”

Zhuo Fei didn't say much about Dustin's apologies, the funds promised to him by the American Jewish Committee had not been in place for a long time, and Zhuo Fei had already known that something might have gone wrong. He had already lost all hope, but he didn't expect Dustin to suddenly appear in Bremerhaven and bring good news. After receiving the material items handed by Dustin, Zhuo Fei only glanced at them a few times, and then he was already gasping for it, these American Jews are not small, is this the rhythm of sweeping away the industrial products of the United States?

1 million tons of high-quality steel, 2,000 crawler tractors, 3,000 wheeled trucks and a large number of seamless steel pipes and special steel that Zhuo Fei urgently needed. Especially when he saw that there was a batch of competitive shooting equipment marked under the entry, he couldn't stop laughing, and the competitive shooting equipment could only be munitions.

Sure enough, when Zhuo Fei asked about this batch of competitive shooting equipment, Dustin's answer was exactly what Zhuo Fei thought, "The U.S. government does not allow arms exports, especially large-caliber heavy machine guns, so we have to disassemble the purchased firearms and ship them out in a batch of short-barreled shotguns, and only say that they are competitive shooting tools." Zhuo Fei was amazed by the ingenuity of the Americans' minds, and at the same time secretly called the American customs all pigs' heads, how can military guns and short-barreled shotguns be the same?

20 Browning large-caliber heavy machine guns, 1,000 M1 rifles, 1,000 Thomson submachine guns, 50 walkie-talkies, and matching ammunition and parts, these were the first munitions that Dustin and his team brought for Zhuo Fei. According to Dustin's rhetoric, from now on, the United States will send the same amount of arms every month, and the American Jewish Council has prepared more than a dozen of the latest P40 fighter jets to be sent to China.

Dustin's trip did not bring a lot of ammunition, but Zhuo Fei thought that these weapons were enough to equip a regiment, as long as he could receive so many American munitions every month in the future, in only nine months, Zhuo Fei would be able to equip an all-American armored infantry division. "Big Rabbi, it may seem a little raw to say that I am grateful, although our umbrella company has provided some small help to the Jews, but I am personally very grateful to the big rabbi for your hand of friendship to China."

The arms brought by Dustin were originally intended to equip the newly formed Jewish Legion, but Zhuo Fei had the cheekiness to secretly change the concept and take this batch of American-style arms into his own hands, which made Dustin have something to say but couldn't speak. "Small, you dare to play tricks with me, you can't kill you." Paying attention to Dustin's expression at the moment with the corner of his eye, Zhuo Fei secretly had fun, wanting to let himself work for the Jews for nothing, there is no such reason in the world.

Dustin can be regarded as having learned Zhuo Fei's methods, and when he was sent out of the wooden house by the guards around Zhuo Fei, Dustin didn't come back to his senses, and then Lin Biao and others, who learned about it, also laughed and said that Zhuo Fei was indeed a person who loved to take advantage. "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I like to take advantage, I help the Jews, not only by taking risks, but also by paying the Germans a certain amount of money, and the cost of hiring ships, which are all the money of our umbrella company."

"It is indeed a tragic thing that the Jews are desperate to be persecuted by the Germans, but why should we help the Jews because our umbrella company and the Jews are not related to each other. If it is about helping people, I might as well use all this money on the Chinese, even if I buy all the arms and send them back to China, I can also help the war of resistance. I had an agreement with the Jewish Council that for every time the Umbrella Company transferred a Jew out of the country, they would pay me a portion of the cost, which was equivalent to their travel expenses. ”

"There was also a Jewish committee in the United States, and they had contacted me on their own initiative, offering to give me some money to help these Jewish compatriots who had the opportunity to leave Germany, and I certainly could not stop their kindness. But these months have passed, and I haven't even seen a piece of paper from them, and this time it happened that these Yankees not only sent a large number of supplies, but also brought a batch of American-style munitions, so of course I have to accept it, otherwise what will happen to the deficit of my umbrella company? ”

When Zhuo Fei said this, Lin Biao and the others understood the entanglement between Zhuo Fei and the American Jewish Committee, and after thinking about it carefully, it could not be said that Zhuo Fei was greedy for money, after all, Zhuo Fei had spent a lot of money and goods for those Jews who left Germany. Two days later, more and more ships appeared in the port of Bremerhaven, and with the help of thousands of Jews, the arms that Zhuo Fei had obtained from the German government were secretly transported into the hold.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say anything more. Each of these ships you are on has munitions in its holds, and everything along the way is decided by my guards and captains, and you don't have to worry about anything. When the ship arrives in Myanmar, my people will pick it up at Yangon Port, and you can just take the train back to Ruili Training Camp. Remember, if something happens on the way, you are just Chinese businessmen who are returning home on a hitchhiker, and don't put yourself in it. ”

Zhuo Fei's strategy was to load a ship and release one, and there would be 4 search boats in a batch, and Lin Biao and the others were arranged by Zhuo Fei to take the second batch of ships to leave the port, and he himself took the last ship to leave the port to be responsible for the finish. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer Jews and munitions in the camp in Bremerhaven, the stone that Zhuo Fei had been pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground, as long as these ships loaded with heavy equipment were not surrounded by the British and French fleets, he could be relieved.

"Vivian, keep this camp for now, once Poland is taken by the Germans, more Jews will be sent to concentration camps. Your main task in keeping these people behind is to select and screen the various types of people I need from the concentration camps everywhere. I am afraid that the printing house will not be able to hide it for long, and you will decide for yourself when to inform the Germans of the news of the counterfeit banknotes, but all the Jews in this printing house will be sent to China, which is what I promised them. ”
