Chapter 174: Sealing Fees
It was not until noon that the aftermath of the explosion of the warship basically ended, and the three infantry divisions from other places temporarily took over the three towns of Wuhan and erected barricades in various streets.
From time to time, a few gunshots rang out, needless to say, all the suspected Chinese or foreigners were taken into custody one by one, and if they dared to resist, they would be killed on the spot, and the Nanjing government, which was most afraid of foreigners, finally rose up this time, and the "killing order and search warrant" were signed by Lao Jiang himself.
Because Lao Jiang was in command in Sichuan to exterminate the Red Army, He Yingqin had something to delay in Beiping, President Wang needed to stay in Nanjing, and Zhang Shaoshuai was still far away in Xi'an, so he had to trouble Minister Kong, and just a few days after returning to Nanjing, he had to fly back to Wuhan again.
The advantages of Kong's airport are reflected at this time, Minister Kong got off the plane and saw Falkenhausen, but Major General Qin Guodong had a declining face, it seemed that he hadn't slept all night, Liu Yun didn't care, anyway, the responsibility was not him, Miss Kong cried when she saw his father.
Liu Yun also smiled slightly bitterly, last night was so dangerous, Kong Yuling's face was just pale, I thought it was okay, but I didn't expect it to be just a hard support, Minister Kong didn't blame him, but after a few words of comfort, he let Miss Kong go down first, because after all, there are still big things to talk about.
Liu Daguan wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but he was also left behind by Minister Kong, and Major General Qin Guodong, who was supposed to stay here, was sent out by Lao Kong with an excuse, and finally Falkenhausen and Kong Liu were left.
Liu Yun took a cursory look, most of them were the confessions of the bandits who participated in or caused the explosion last night, how did they get it, needless to say, as long as there is still a breath of air, there is absolutely no way to escape the confession, the Republic of China, which inherited the fine tradition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is only strong but not weak in terms of torture.
Looking at the bloodstains on the paper, you can know how many people died, how many died, Kong Caishen did not say, and Falkenhausen did not ask, but the casualties of the officers and soldiers on the German warship were listed one by one, and even a few sailors, whether they were suspected of participating in the explosion, were also marked.
Liu Yun suddenly found that Falkenhausen's face seemed to be very strange, red and white for a while, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility, fortunately, this guy has also cultivated at home now, even if he thought of something, he didn't show anything wrong, but looked the same as usual.
If you want to fight Tai Chi Kung Fu with Kong Caishen, Falkenhausen is still a little worse, and in less than half an hour, the German general can't stand it, stares at the blue eyes, shrugs his shoulders, and asks helplessly, "Mr. Kong, what do you want, please tell me clearly."
Only then did Kong Caishen raise his head, carefully look at Falkenhausen, clasped his hands, and asked to himself, "Is it really worth it for you to do this, not to mention the most advanced destroyer, the lives of nearly 100 German soldiers have been sacrificed in vain."
Liu Yun also knew what was wrong, last time it was a cruiser transporting tanks, but this time it was a good one, it was a destroyer transport, and several were ready to be transported at a time, and I thought it was strange at the time, but I couldn't say it, although the superficial excuse was also very sufficient, it was difficult for the cruiser to drive to Wuhan.
Falkenhausen also seemed a little helpless, and after hesitating for a while, he looked at Kong Liu and the others for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Please don't misunderstand, we are also forced to be helpless, you must know that in your entire Eastern world, all the tanks will not add up to more than a thousand."
"And this new tank, the German military intends to produce 10,000 to 20,000 tanks, if the enemy knows in advance, this loss will be great, far from the problem of a destroyer, or nearly a hundred German soldiers, so such drastic means are used."
Liu Yun knew the future process of Germany, and naturally thought deeply of Falkenhausen's words, but Kong Caishen was shocked, tens of thousands of tanks were enough to crush the Japanese devils to death several times, this is just the No. 4 tank, and suddenly gave birth to an idea, the Germans are really crazy.
Seeing that Minister Kong was silent, Falkenhausen was also relieved, so he was also generous and said very boldly, "Berlin has already thought about it, and just used this explosion as an excuse to accuse the Japanese of a sneak attack, and Germany's ocean-going submarine force has secretly sailed into the waters of China."
Kong and Liu were stunned for a moment, couldn't help but glance at each other, and secretly muttered what the German submarine was going to do when it came in, and whether it was difficult to declare war on Japan, but a little submarine, how much use it had, it would sink a few Japanese warships, and then destroy the Japanese army's transportation lines, and it would be up to the sky.
However, the truth is even more cruel than imagined, for the ideas of Kong and Liu, Falkenhausen just hehe, and explained Berlin's ideas in full, "In view of the friendly relations between the two countries, Berlin has decided to expand the Chinese submarine force to a complete fleet, which will have 16 submarines."
"Of course, taking into account the current situation of your country, the station of these submarine ships will be located in the area from Guangzhou to Hainan, consisting of four submarine bases, and as soon as a Sino-Japanese war breaks out, they can immediately block the Taiwan Strait and the Bass Strait, well, if there is still spare strength, they can attack their merchant ships."
I have to admit that this big pie of Germany is still very attractive, and the number of submarines has been directly increased from the initial four or six to 16, and the blueprint for the future Sino-Japanese war has also been conceived.
Kong and Liu glanced at each other, and had no choice but to give up on the explosion, as if it was a joint attack by the Japanese devils and the French, of course, the Nanjing government will also give appropriate compensation, isn't it just a hundred soldiers, a destroyer, a few million dollars can be done.
Wuhan gradually calmed down, but Nanjing and Lao Jiang were not soft on the attack on the enemy and special elements, and truly achieved "I would rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let go of one", and all suspicious objects were dragged to death row to serve, and many innocent people died, but who cares about this.
It wasn't until three days later that Lao Chiang appeared in Wuhan, where the destroyer sank, to pay tribute to the heroes, and then made an important speech, the words were sonorous and fierce, his face was black and thin, revealing a murderous aura, especially referring to Japan and France, of course, the consuls of these two countries had secretly negotiated with Lao Chiang, and Lao Chiang put the corpse, witnesses and confessions, and the consuls of the two countries were dumbfounded.
Just when the old Jiang Yizheng was speaking, a German officer sneaked into the venue and handed a telegram to Falkenhausen. ”
Falkenhausen's face collapsed suddenly, and when he saw that it was Liu Yun, he didn't say anything, but he just gave a look, and if he had anything to say, he chatted privately, so everyone was silent, and when Lao Jiang's warm performance came to a complete end, a group of reporters and officials went to Wuchang City.
Falkenhausen and Liu Yun eyebrows, secretly went to Kong's villa, what they didn't expect was that as soon as the two of them arrived at the door, Lao Jiang and Kong Caishen also arrived, and the four of them seemed to be surprised, and they stared at each other for a while, and they didn't know what to say, or Kong Yuling came out to greet everyone, so as to avoid each other's embarrassment, and after some courtesy, they still let Lao Jiang and Falkenhausen go first.
A group of four people sat down in the hall, Miss Kong took the servants to arrange the tea and snacks one by one, and then took the initiative to retreat, Liu Yun also wanted to take the opportunity to run away, but Lao Jiang was a little hesitant, or Kong Caishen loved his son-in-law, and let him stay with a smile, of course Falkenhausen didn't care.
Lao Jiang didn't speak with a gloomy face, but Kong Caishen smiled, and asked Liu Yun to say first, this guy was about to speak, but Falkenhausen was suddenly startled, and hurriedly interrupted someone, grabbing the right to speak, "Three gentlemen, I have received a call from Berlin, and the information of the Little Leopard Tank has arrived safely."
Liu Yun and Kong Caishen were expressionless, as if they had already expected it, but Lao Jiang had to talk, changed his gloomy face, squeezed out a reluctant smile, and congratulated repeatedly, "Okay, the materials have arrived safely, and it has also relieved me of a piece of my heart disease, which is conducive to the friendship between China and Germany."
Falkenhausen's face was a little red, this matter is indeed not authentic in Germany, it is said that Nanjing should be informed in advance, otherwise once they are really fooled, the Nanjing government will be embarrassed, not only to publicly apologize, but also to suffer a dumb loss, there is no bitterness can not be said.
Fortunately, these four people are all politicians, and it is their job to talk nonsense with their eyes open, and Falkenhausen soon returned to normal, shrugged his shoulders, and began to speak his official language, such as thanking Huaxia and Lao Chiang for their understanding, and the friendship between China and Germany will be further strengthened.
The clichés and were finally over, and Falkenhausen finally said the truth, if there were new cooperation results, he would no longer go to sea, but would go to the bottom of the sea instead, yes, it was transported by ocean-going submarines, and then Liu Yun really understood the true meaning of the so-called arrival of German submarines.
But for Lao Jiang and Kong Caishen, it is of little significance, in their impression, Germany is already very strong, just to transport something, whether to go to the sea, or to go to the bottom of the sea, in fact, it is almost the same, this is also the real reason why they are very angry about the explosion of the warship.
Falkenhausen also knew that the time was almost up, so he wanted to say goodbye, Liu Yun hurriedly took the initiative to send this guy out, just out of the gate, this guy just said in a thief's head, "Liu, help Huaxia train special forces, Berlin has agreed, and West Sichuan County is the first pilot object."
Liu Yun was also happy in his heart, this was the hush money given to him by Falkenhausen, don't want it in vain, so he asked in a low voice, "General Haosen, how long do you plan to lend me the group of special forces guarding the test building?" To train a qualified non-commissioned officer, it also takes three years for your country's military academy, right? ”
Falkenhausen was also stunned, and decided to look at Liu Daguan again, which was too greedy, so he said angrily, "Liu, don't be too greedy, at most half a year, this is already the limit, you must know that it is not easy for us, breaking the restrictions of Versailles, it is only a year."
Falkenhausen seemed to be really angry, and he didn't care whether someone agreed or not, he had stepped on his car and drove away, Liu Yun reacted at this time, but this guy is also telling the truth, Hitler only became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, and only became the president of Germany in August 1934 last year, so the German army really dared to engage in secret war preparations, and it was indeed only about a year.
