Chen Tian thought about it, he hadn't seen this person for a while, and the special tone of the Oriental people speaking German still made him hear at once that it was her, the Korean princess who had broken the country and the family.

Chen Tian took Lisa and turned around, and what he saw was the face of the Oriental classical beauty, her skin was still fair and delicate, her face was a little baby fat, her black and bright hair was coiled back of her head, and she was wearing a pale green Western-style dress.

It was true that Chen Tian did not invite her, but the young German officer standing next to her was the reason why she was able to come here.

"Your Royal Highness, Madame Prince, Major Jebel, Staff Officer of the 1st Tank Regiment of the 104th Tank Division of the Panzer Corps of the East Prussian Regiment, salute you!" This corps captain Svenwen looked to be no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and being a major regimental staff officer at this age was enough to prove his ability, not to mention that he was still wearing the black officer's uniform of a tank unit, which was a very promising unit.

"I am a graduate of the sixth class of the Königsberg Junior Military Academy, and later entered the Königsberg Armored Academy for further study, and I am very honored to be your alumnus!" The major gave a serious salute.

"I'm honored too!" Chentian didn't have much thought about this, he believed that the officers of his legion were very good, and it was not surprising that this declining Korean royal family was with his own officers.

"Oh, Lee, I think you and your companions are about to graduate!" Chentian turned to the Korean princess again, he didn't want to call her princess title in front of the others, not to mention that her royal family no longer existed.

"Yes, Your Highness. Our graduation exams and graduation ceremony are scheduled for next month, after which some of our companions will be back home! ”

The North Koreans said very calmly, but Chen Tian heard something, "So you have other plans?" ”

"Your Highness, I and two other companions have applied for the Königsberg Armored Academy, and I hope that your country will not reject us because of nationality!" Li replied lightly.

"Armored Academy? The environment inside the tank isn't for ladies, at least that's what I think! Chen Tian could even imagine the scene of this beautiful woman coming out of the tank with a dark face, and that kind of noisy environment is not something that ordinary people can endure.

But Lee didn't think so, "Tanks are huge, and my country needs them very much without numerical superiority!" ”

Tank! It's tanks again! Chentian now gritted his teeth at those Japanese when he thought of tanks, what if the Koreans had a small number of tanks, the Japanese would most likely use multiple tanks to encircle and suppress them. However, it is not a bad thing for the North Koreans to enter the armored academy, not to mention that by the time they graduate, tanks should also be popular in major countries.

"That's a lot of courage, and if you're sure you're going to do it, I'm not against it! So what about you and the other two North Koreans who applied for the armored academy and went straight back to the country for activities? ”

"Most people want to stay here for further study, and it would be great if they could enter your army and fight, we need a group of fighters with actual combat experience, not people who can only manipulate weapons and command soldiers in formation!" Lee was very blunt in making his request.

Chen Tian glanced at the major, he didn't have a strange expression, it seemed that Li had already told him about his background, "However, the battle mode in Europe is very different from the struggle that your country will fight!" Here, battles are mostly fought between well-trained and well-numbered troops, while in you, I am afraid, poorly trained and equipped militias engaged in guerrilla warfare with the enemy's regular army! ”

The North Koreans hesitated for a moment, "Your Royal Highness, you care so much about the revolutionaries of our country, how can we leave alone when you need it most?" We are willing to fight for your country without compensation until your country is victorious! ”

For this stubborn Korean princess, Chen Tian didn't know how to persuade her, but if the Korean national independence struggle was to be completed by their own people, I am afraid it would take a long time, after all, the Japanese army was too strong compared to them.

"Okay, we'll talk about that after you graduate! But I want your warriors to stay of their own free will! ”

Li finally showed a lovely smile, "You can rest assured that my soldiers will sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country, and their grades in the military academy are very good!" ”

Chen Tian nodded slightly, then looked at the major next to Li and said, "Major, we will be going to open again soon, seize the time to accompany your lover in the past few days!" I think she applied for the Armored Academy, to a certain extent, she also hoped to have more opportunities to be with you! Don't let her down! ”

The Major nodded earnestly, and then walked away with Li in his arms.

"She was completely like a child when she first arrived, and now she's a lot more mature, right?" Lisa said from the side.

"Yes! My dear, you are here to greet everyone! I have something to talk to Hoffman and Matthew about first! Chen Tian saw that the atmosphere of the dinner party had become lively, and he could also take a break and leave.

"Alright! But don't drag Matthew away for too long, or his beautiful lady will feel lonely! Lisa said with a mischievous smile.

Chen Tian walked up to Matthew and his wife, "Mrs. Matthew, can I borrow your general?" ”

Soon after, Madame Hoffmann and Madame François received the same question, and finally, with Thomas, the four of them followed him to a lounge next to the hall.

Just as he was opening the lounge, Chen Tian noticed that someone not far away was looking at this side. Seeing that Chen Tian had discovered himself, the man owed a little, and had no intention of dodging.

"It's nothing, that's my new butler, old Zach's son, we'll call him Little Zach!" Tatsuten explained to the others, then nodded to Zach Jr., and then Zack left quickly.

"New butler! Is it reliable? Matthew asked cautiously.

"According to our investigation, there is no problem!" Thomas replied for Chentian, "Old Zach's son, graduated from the University of Berlin, has excellent grades in school, and is introverted and unsociable!" ”

"What's more, he was personally recommended by Old Zack, and I don't have to worry about Old Zack's personality! Little Zach is also my childhood friend, and we get along very well! Chen Tian added.

The layout of this lounge is very simple, the space is not very large, a few soft sofas occupy half of the space, a small coffee table is placed in the middle of the sofa, and an oil painting depicting a forest scene hangs on the wall, and the green picture gives a fresh and relaxing feeling.

After a while, there was a soft knock on the door of the lounge.

"Please come in!" Chen Tian said as he sat on the sofa with his back to the door.

When the door opened, little Zach walked in with five coffee cups and a pot of hot coffee.

"Everyone, please use it slowly, it's absolutely safe to talk here!" Little Zach said calmly, and after saying sorry to everyone, he gently closed the door and withdrew.

"Like your old Zack, he is very well organized, and he is almost the same as not smiling!" After little Zach left, Thomas quipped.

"That's true!" Chen Tian took a sip of the coffee cup in front of him, the temperature and taste were his favorites, while the others added sugar or milk to the cup according to their own taste, although there were no servants present, but everyone felt very comfortable.

"Thomas, tell us about the problems we had this afternoon!" Chen Tian continued to take small sips of coffee and handed over the responsibility of explaining to Thomas.

"Alright! Here's what happened...... "Thomas told the others about the Japanese throwing tanks into battle, and the others listened as they flipped through the report he provided.

After about 5 minutes, Thomas finished his explanation and took a sip of the coffee in front of him.

"Looks like there are spies!" Hoffman made his own inference, but this is the only conclusion that is certain at the moment, even if the Japanese did have genius inventors, there was no reason for their tanks to be the same as the Stone I.

Matthew nodded in agreement, "The spy is still targeting us!" But I didn't expect it to be a spy for the Japanese! If it were British or French, I would be more receptive! ”

"Your Royal Highness, you summoned us to do so in the hope that we would conduct an internal audit within your own troops?" François's thinking is more straightforward, he has never liked to delve into problems, and what he wants to know more than anything else is what he should do. However, as one of his cronies, Chen Tian didn't plan to hide anything from him, and of course he didn't expect him to come up with anything.

"This kind of thing should have been handed over to Thomas's spy and counterintelligence agency to find out the cause, but this matter is really significant, and if it is not found out as soon as possible, I am afraid that more and more information about weapons will fall into the hands of the enemy, including the weapons we are secretly developing!" Chen Tian always held the delicate and small coffee cup in his hand when he spoke, "While we still have a few days to leave, we will try our best to find out the hateful Japanese spy!" ”

"The problem is that our speculation is always full of holes!" Thomas recounted a series of speculations he had made with Tatsuten that afternoon, and looking at the expressions of the others, they almost all walked around.

"After all, it was the Japanese who developed the tank! General Thomas, can we send spies into Japan to find out? Hoffman breathed a sigh of relief, his high-speed brain couldn't stand the spiral analysis.

Thomas shook his head in denial, "Sending spies to infiltrate important departments of a country is not something that can be done overnight, not to mention that I had a telephone conversation with the head of the intelligence office of the General Staff, and he promised to help us use the German intelligence points in Japan to find out, but there is little hope of success, and our intelligence network in Asia is still very imperfect!" ”

"If the Japanese make one, we'll kill one!" François's advice was very straightforward.

"The later anti-tank weapons are used, the better, after all, after we use them, the enemy will soon learn to create similar weapons against himself!" Chen Tian knew that François was referring to anti-tank guns, this kind of weapon was the same as sonar and depth charges, although it had been developed, but in the case of the superiority of Germany's armored forces and submarines, the use of these weapons suffered the most, so Chen Tian did not plan to put them into actual combat for the time being, but stayed in the stage of continuous development and improvement of the laboratory. Once these weapons leak out, the consequences are very serious.

Matthew thought carefully for a while, "I agree that the spy is not in our weapons research institute, the engine is actually not the most critical technical point, the layout of the internal parts of the tank and the design of the transmission device are!" ”

"If the Japanese are here to steal tank information, they will definitely pay attention to it! Therefore, I think they inadvertently discovered our tanks and sent information about this weapon back home without paying attention to it! Hoffman also helped sort out one.

"As for the armored car, it is likely that the Japanese spies did not pay attention to it, or there was no idea of developing it in Japan!" Chen Tian found that his thoughts had gradually become clearer, maybe this was the principle of three stinkers against one Zhuge Liang.

"And the spy shouldn't be a native of Japan, otherwise this would be too conspicuous!" François sipped his coffee and uttered his simple and reasoned guess.

"In other words, it is likely that the Japanese government's strange weapon orientation or the Japanese spies are suspicious, and we have a dead knot in the process of reasoning!" Thomas frowned, "It's entirely possible, too!" ”

"Alright then, let's start speculating from the beginning, let's all think about it together!" Chen Tian took out the pen on his body and drew a long horizontal line on the blank space on the back of a report paper, "At the beginning, an ominous number of Japanese spies infiltrated East Prussia, which should have been at least half a year ago!" Well, he or they may come to a tank factory, or it may be our army, and there is no problem with that! ”

Tatsuten drew an origin point at the far left end of the horizontal line and marked it with "Japanese spies infiltrated", and everyone else nodded.

"Since there is no such weapon as a tank in other countries, it will only be a Japanese spy!" Hoffman added.

"The presence of Japanese in East Prussia will receive our special attention, so they are not native to Japan!" Thomas also added.

"If you dare to infiltrate our army, they will die when I find out!" François waved his fist.

"Half a year ago, only these two places could see our tanks, and the residents near the training ground were relocated!" Matthew's statement adds to this initial point.

"Well, aside from the fact that the number of spies is uncertain, that's no longer a problem!" Chen Tian nodded with great satisfaction, and then drew a second dot to the right of the horizontal line, marked "Spy found target".

"From the current point of view, the Japanese spies at least probed the external form of the tank from us, and they did so after very careful observation and even personal operation!" After Chen Tian finished speaking, he waited for everyone to add.

"It's important to look closely or do it yourself! However, it still does not say whether they are in the factory or in the army, and the factory assembly workers have this opportunity, as well as the armored troops and the infantry who practice together! Matthew rubbed his temples in pain.

"Whether it's a factory or an army, they can generally see armored vehicles when they see tanks, and armored vehicles are much easier to make! Well, the Japanese spies or the Japanese army will not take a fancy to this weapon, so they did not follow up on the research and development! Hoffman can be considered to have some valid reasoning, and it is true that not all countries want to be heavily equipped with such weapons, which use easily destroyed tires and thin steel plates, and only machine guns, and the Italians are a good example, they developed the original armored car several years ago, but did not develop it much until the outbreak of war.

"The same goes for the 'Firebird' machine gun and motorcycles equipped with machine guns!" François's words always seem to be on the sidelines, but sometimes they can give unexpected hints.

"Ahh Chen Tian jumped up suddenly, "Do you remember a report at the beginning of the Qingdao War?" In the battle of Laoshan, our army found that the Japanese army was equipped with a very small number of machine guns, and the Japanese army greatly admired the use of bayonet charging tactics! Armored cars, motorcycles and 'Firebirds', it's all about machine guns! It is likely that the Japanese spies sent all the information about these weapons back home, but the Japanese army only used tanks, and abandoned machine guns and other equipment with machine guns as their main weapons! ”

"That's right! The Japanese Army did have such a tendency to worship only artillery and bayonets! Thomas also patted his thigh and stood up, "So the mystery is here!" ”

"It seems that the Japanese have made a lot of mistakes, but who can be sure if these weapons are toys without actual combat tests?" Hoffman said with a smile, "I didn't believe that planes could pose a threat to the British fleet!" ”

"It's good that the Japanese spies didn't have access to our plane!" Chen Tian said as he added a few lines to the second point on the paper: The spies may have collected all kinds of land weapons of our army, but for various reasons, only one tank was left after the Japanese Army screened.

"Then the third point is that the Japanese spies transmitted the information back to Japan! How do they pass on information, then leave it to our intelligence experts! Chen Tian drew a third point on the horizontal line, and Thomas nodded in agreement.

"Fourth, research in Japan! Since they did not get the detailed design drawings of the tank, their design was very slow, and there were many detours, and when the tank showed its power on the battlefield, they were in a hurry to put the imperfect tank into the battlefield for actual combat tests! Chen Tian drew the last point at the end of the horizontal line, and the whole inference was completed, and everyone breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"Although we have deduced the whole course of the matter, how did we catch the spy in such a short period of time? Factory and army raids? François was a little dissatisfied with his question.

"We're about to go to the front, and a big search is unrealistic!" Matthew disagreed, "But now the scope of suspicion is too great, and there are hundreds of thousands of factories and army units in East Prussia!" ”

"Narrow down the investigation!" Thomas said according to common sense.

"Japanese spies, even if they are not Japanese, should be able to speak Japanese!" As soon as Hoffman spoke, he was almost startled by several pairs of eyes staring at him.

"It's very unlikely that a Japanese spy doesn't know Japanese, so we can give it a try! There must be very few people in the military who know Japanese! Seeing the hope of finding the spy, Thomas's eyes lit up.

"But Japanese spies wouldn't be so stupid as to say they knew Japanese!" François was puzzled.

"Japanese spies will always want to enter the more critical departments of our legion to get more information!" Chen Tian looked at Thomas and smiled knowingly.
