Chapter 31: A Mysterious Meeting

It turns out that despite the fact that now the aviation industry of Germany is at a low ebb, it is still superior to the USSR.

The last time Lyon returned to Germany from the Soviet Union was on a Soviet plane, which stopped for fuel during the 1,500-kilometer journey and took eight hours to return to Berlin.

This time, I took a transport plane produced by the Bavarian Aircraft Factory without a pause and only took more than five hours.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the transport fleet of the German delegation landed at the airfield under the escort of the Soviet Air Force, and this was the second time that Lyon had come here.

Same as last time, this German visit was also secret, the difference is that Lyon only accompanied the tour last time, and this time he led the team.

After getting off the plane, it was Lyon's old acquaintance, Marshal Tukhachevsky, who greeted Lyon and the others.

When he met, he gave Leon a Russian-style hug, and almost Lyon's breathlessness.

"Haha, Colonel Leon! No, I'll have to call you General Lyon. Long time no see. Tukhachevsky greeted warmly.

Leon breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Marshal Tukhachevsky, long time no see!" You're still so fit. ”

Tukhachevsky glanced at the German transport plane parked not far away and said: "General Leon, I didn't expect you to be so fast, this plane is really good!" ”

These German transport planes have a single wing and two engines, which is really eye-catching compared to the two-wing multi-engine model that is popular today, and today's flight has also made Tukhachevsky realize that these planes are not only beautiful in appearance, but also far superior in performance to his own aircraft.

Leon waved his hand, sighed, and said, "No matter how good the plane is, we can't build an air force." ”

Tukhachevsky glanced at the other German soldiers who were looking greedily at his fighter and said, "Didn't you come here today to solve this problem?" The two looked at each other and smiled.

After the greetings, it was time to get down to business, and Tukhachevsky instructed the officers accompanying him to arrange accommodation for the other German pilots who had come to study, and then took Lyon, Sofia, and a number of other Wehrmacht troops to the Kremlin to discuss the specifics of the cooperation.

Located in the heart of Moscow, the Kremlin is as prosperous as ever.

The talks were not as competitive as the last time, because the general plan was almost worked out on both sides, the specific content was that the German side would contribute one-third of the money and all the technology to build a huge railway network for the Soviet Union from the Soviet-Polish border to Leningrad to Moscow, and send engineers to upgrade their existing tanks and planes for the Soviets, and the Soviets would provide a venue for Germany to train tank troops and at least 3,000 pilots for Germany in return.

Among the 144 people who came with Lyon this time were engineers from the Wehrmacht, and they would provide technology to the Soviet Union, so the meeting was actually to talk with the Soviet Union about how good Soviet-German relations were, and how the two sides should strengthen military exchanges in the future.

The Soviets were so pleased with the deal that they paid almost nothing for the money and technology needed to build the railway.

And Lyon was very satisfied, because he was given the coveted space to expand the tank force and secretly experiment with new tanks, and also solved the problem of air force development.

But the most important thing that most people don't know is that five of the dozen or so Wehrmacht engineers he brought this time are specially trained spies, who will look for Soviets who are dissatisfied with the Bolsheviks in this country, secretly bring them back to Germany for training and brainwashing, and then they will return to the Soviet Union and take root, planting the first seeds for the development of German espionage in the Soviet Union in the future.

This operation is not only carried out in the Soviet Union, more spies are taking root in various powers such as Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Italy, etc., and their destructive power and role will gradually be reflected in the future.

"You understand, Marshal Tukhachevsky, I personally have a good impression of the Bolsheviks, and we all admire the achievements of your party and your country over the years, especially your contributions, Marshal Tukhachevsky." Lyon was smiling and praising the Soviet Union and the Bolsheviks on the surface, but in fact, he was silently assessing the Soviet Union's national strength and combat strength based on what he had seen, thinking about how Germany could defeat this red monster.

"Hahaha." Tukhachevsky laughed heartily and praised Leon: "General Leon is amazing, it's only been a few months since I last saw you, and you have become a general." Young and promising, young and promising! Like Leon, he thought to himself that he would be sure to submit a report to the National Defense Committee when he returned, and raise his vigilance against Germany.

Both of them show mutual admiration for each other and each other's countries on the surface, but in fact, they both have their own ghosts in their hearts.

Just as the two were complimenting each other without smiling, a Soviet major officer walked in and said to Leon in fluent German: "Major General Leon? Someone wants to see you. ”

Leon was confused and looked at Tukhachevsky suspiciously, hoping that he could tell him why a major could come in at will and interrupt such an important meeting, and asked him to go with him by name, but Tukhachevsky did not tell him the answer, but only looked at the officer with jealous eyes.

"Major General Leon, please hurry up." The major urged.

Lyon was on their turf, and Marshal Tukhachevsky did not stop him, so he had to stand up, and Sophia, who had been interpreting for Lyon, and several German officers also stood up with him, wanting to go with him.

"No, no, no, I can only go to Major General Lyon, you don't have to worry about security, as for the translation, I think my German is not bad." The major stopped the others from wanting to follow and headed for the door. Leon gave Sophia and the others a look in one direction, and then straightened their somewhat wrinkled clothes and followed.

The Major led Leon to a small yellow building, which was not tall and inconspicuous, but there were many guards at the door.

"General, please hand over your weapon and cooperate with the inspection, thank you!" The Major stopped at the door and said politely to Leon.

Leon pulled out the pistol on his waist and handed it to the major, and then the two soldiers checked his body, which made Leon more and more puzzled, who wanted to see him with such strict security?

After the soldier checked it, he signaled to the major that it was okay, and the major nodded, and led Leon into the mysterious yellow building.

The hall behind the door was magnificent, and the major saw that Leon was attracted, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously leaked a proud smile, and then began to patiently explain the history of the building to Leon, completely without the eagerness he had when he first walked this way.

Leon looked at the hall and the objects in the hall, and couldn't help but think of the tour in the Forbidden City in his previous life, which was much more beautiful than this.

"Haha, General Leon, I've admired my name for a long time." Pure German came from the staircase next to the sound.
