"Margaret, stop playing, come back and wash your hands, it's time for lunch." Angela, who was badly injured, shouted out of the window, and Margaret, who was newly dressed and had two pigtails on her head, jumped in from the courtyard, followed by Zhuo Yan, who was smiling and squinting. Squeezed his eyes at the little girl who turned back frequently, Zhuo Yanjing, who was holding a leather ball in his hand, went upstairs to Zhuo Fei's room, and the former had been taken by Angela to wash his hands and prepare for dinner.

"Brother, it's time to eat, there is braised pork at noon today." In Zhuo Yan's place, he has never had the habit of knocking on the door, not to mention that he will enter Zhuo Fei's study, even if it is Zhuo Fei's bedroom, Zhuo Yan has always pushed the door and entered. Zhuo Yan accompanied the little girl to play in the yard all morning, and she would have been hungry for a long time, so when she heard Angela say that she was going to have lunch, she hurriedly took the ball and called Zhuo Fei downstairs.

"You kid, every day you either play around or only know how to eat." was interrupted by Zhuo Yan's sudden intrusion, Zhuo Fei was not angry, just knocked Zhuo Yan with a smile, and then followed Zhuo Yan down from the stairs with a smile. Han Sen has recruited seven or eight foreign men and women one after another these days, but every time it is time to eat, only Zhuo Fei and a few of them gather in the dining room on the first floor, and everyone else is only willing to eat in the covered dining room.

"Eat, eat." When Zhuo Fei and Zhuo Yan came down, Hansen and Angela had already sat down at the table, and made a grimace with the little girl sitting next to Angela, and after getting the other party's response, Zhuo Fei happily sat at the table. It has been two days since Zhuo Fei and the others came back, and the little girl's adaptability is not bad, at least after seeing these big-nosed foreigners in the courtyard, she is not as frightened as she was when she first saw Huffman.

"Boss, Mr. Rabe is back, do you want to come with me to meet him?" Motioning to Zhuo Yan to push the plate of meat chops on the table to himself, Hansen suddenly remembered something, so he turned his head and asked Zhuo Fei. When Zhuo Fei first came to Nanjing, Rabe was not at his residence in Nanjing, and Hansen often went to Siemens these days to wander around, and when he learned that Rabe had returned to Nanjing, he just suddenly forgot to tell Zhuo Fei.

"Mr. Rabe has returned?" Zhuo Fei, who was sandwiching the meat steak from the plate, couldn't help but be overjoyed, he came to Nanjing to make so many preliminary arrangements, and he had to arrange his residence on Guangzhou Road, in order to get close to Rabe. Japan and Germany secretly formed an alliance, no matter how arrogant and domineering the Japanese army was, they did not dare to offend Rabe, who worked in Siemens.

After taking a bite of the meat chop and chewing it a few times, Zhuo Fei suddenly remembered another thing, and immediately asked, "Since Mr. Rabe has returned to Nanjing, Mr. Hansen, please go and make an appointment with Mr. Rabe, and I will visit in person." Hearing this, Hansen nodded in response, but Zhuo Fei lowered his voice and continued to ask, "Mr. Hansen, is the American passport I mentioned ready?" Without a Western identity, I'm afraid that some things will not be easy to do. ”

Hansen smiled, "Boss, don't worry, I have already found someone to do the American passport for you and Shishi." Not to mention that Mr. Rabe did not have any professionals around him, even if he took those two passports to the people of the United States Immigration Bureau for inspection, they would say that the passports were genuine. The person I found can even make counterfeit money, and two passports are much easier than making counterfeit money. Zhuo Fei knew that Hans was not a big talker, and since Hans dared to guarantee that the forgery of the two fake passports was seamless, Zhuo Fei was relieved.

Zhuo Fei didn't have a rule of not saying anything here, the long dining table was already convenient for people to talk, Zhuo Fei and Hansen got together and whispered, Angela greeted the little girl and talked quietly with Vivian, only Zhuo Yan and Huffman were concentrating on dealing with the steak and braised pork on the table. In the restaurant, people discuss things, talk quietly, and concentrate on dealing with food, and they seem warm and happy for a while.

John? Rabe was a German businessman born in Hamburg, Germany, on November 23, 1882, to a ship captain father. After losing his father at an early age, Rabe worked as a clerk in an export firm before working for several years for a prestigious British company in the Portuguese colony of Mozambique in southeastern Africa. In 1908, he was hired by Siemens China to do business in Shenyang, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places in China.

In 1931, Rabedan, who joined the Nazi organization, served as the deputy head of the Nanjing branch of the German Nazi Party, and in 1937, on the eve of the Japanese attack on Nanjing, he rushed back to Nanjing from Beidaihe as the manager of the Nanjing branch of the German Siemens company. With the changes in the situation in Shanghai and the continued expansion of the Japanese army in North China, foreign people in China feel that the current situation in China is worrisome, and Rabe, who has the background of being the deputy head of the Nanjing branch of the German Nazi Party, is no exception.

Rabe, who had returned to Nanjing from Beidaihe, immediately went to meet the German consul in Nanjing, but was told that it was better to leave Nanjing, because the Chinese army in the Shanghai area was already showing signs of retreat. Once the Nationalist army in Shanghai retreated, the Japanese army might follow north and attack Nanjing, and then Nanjing might not only be affected by the flames of war, but also maybe a fierce battle, the official answer given by the German consulate was very clear, they believed that in this case, the best option was to leave Nanjing.

In order to cope with the upcoming war and the safety of the Chinese personnel in the consulate, the German consulate has contacted the British consul to prepare to leave Nanjing on a British merchant ship before the Japanese army besieges Nanjing. Rabe is a German, so naturally he will not go against the decision made by the German consulate, but Siemens has many things in Nanjing, and it is impossible to withdraw at once.

Dehua is a newly listed company in Nanjing, and the manager, Hansen, is also a German and had already met Rabe once a few days ago. Although there were other things on his mind, Rabe did not turn Hansen away, and it was a comfort for Rabe to be able to meet his compatriots living abroad. "Mr. Hansen, why did you think you came to me?" Before the person walked out of the house, Rabe's angry voice entered Zhuo Fei's ears first, and Zhuo Fei couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard the sound, and he could hear that this Rabe was an energetic person.

Like many people, Zhuo Fei saw Rabe for the first time, and he felt an inexplicable feeling from the bottom of his heart. Rabe, who was born in Hamburg, gave a hard and cold first impression, and the slight upturned movement of his chin when he spoke also showed a standard Germanic taste, and when he looked at Zhuo Fei, a hint of curiosity flashed behind Rabe's round lenses. "Mr. Rabe, this is my boss, Mr. Zhuo Fei, a Chinese-American, you can also call him Zhuo." After greeting Rabe, Hansen took the initiative to introduce Rabe and Zhuo Fei.

"Hello, Mr. Rabe, I heard that you have authentic German beer here, and Mr. Hansen and I have come to drink." After shaking hands with Rabe, regardless of the inquisitive look on the other side, Zhuo Fei took out the cigar he brought. "When I smoke a cigar, I should have drunk red wine, but unfortunately I can't find a good red wine in Nanjing. Mr. Rabe, if it weren't for the war going on in Shanghai, maybe the red wine I put in Shanghai would have been delivered to Nanjing, damn the Japanese. ”

Japan and Germany have secretly formed an alliance, and it is impossible for Rabe, who is a German, to speak ill of the Japanese in front of Zhuo Fei, but in front of Zhuo Fei's little temptation, Rabe also nodded lightly with deep sympathy. Zhuo Fei's intention to visit Rabe today was just to get acquainted, and the three of them chatted for a while while drinking beer and smoking cigars, although they didn't talk about any sensitive topics, but Zhuo Fei heard from Rabe's words that Rabe, who was born in Germany, didn't have much of a good impression of the Japanese.

"Boss, why don't you tell Mr. Rabe about our custom German flag? Mr. Rabe is the deputy head of the Nanjing branch of the German Nazi Party, and his authority is equivalent to that of the vice consul in China, and if he knows that we have ordered the German flag, we may be very passive at that time. Leaving Rabe's residence in Xiaofenqiao, Hansen, who was in charge of driving, started the car and asked Zhuo Fei the questions in his heart.

"Mr. Hansen, Mr. Rabe was a mid-level Nazi cadre, and he was also a German. Germans are world-renowned for their rigor, but there is another characteristic of Germans that is seriousness, whether you admit it or not, you Germans are rigid to the extreme. We can't explain the reason to Mr. Rabe for the custom-made German flag, and it is better not to tell him at all than to find those inconsistency reasons to weave lies. ”

Zhuo Fei also knew that Hans was suspicious of his order to customize the German flag, but he also knew that Hans would not spoil his own affairs, since Hans had already asked this question, Zhuo Fei also planned to take this opportunity to reveal his heart to Hansen, so he motioned to Hans to drive the car directly to the Shimonoseki dock. "Mr. Hans, this is the Xiaguan Wharf, once the Japanese army attacks Nanjing and the defending army is defeated by the Japanese army, this will be the only way for the people of Nanjing to survive. Although a large number of people have been evacuated to the other side of the river, hundreds of thousands of people are still stranded in the city, and the Xiaguan wharf is too small. ”

Turning his head to look at Hansen, Zhuo Fei's eyes were full of sincerity, "Mr. Hansen, I am a Chinese, when I am in danger, I just want to do what I can for the people in Nanjing City, if there is a change in the Xiaguan Wharf, the only person who can help me may be Mr. Rabe, do you understand what I mean?" ”
