His father actually objected to his marriage, and after listening to the old driver's narration, Xu Peipei shed tears on the spot. The last time Mr. Li smiled and gave her a jade bracelet, she had a shadow hidden in her heart at that time, her father was tall and upright, and it was very likely that he would not agree with his daughter marrying someone else as a concubine, and politely refused to propose marriage to her Li family, not wanting everything to be guessed by her. Thinking of this, Xu Peipei wanted to cry, but her stomach churned, and she hurriedly ran to the inner room to vomit.

"I can't do that." The old driver said to Jiang Xiuyu. He is from the past, of course he knows that Xu Peipei is happy. He lit a cigarette with an old knife - this was part of the gift to the Xu family, and Xu Peipei gave him a cigarette when the Xu family returned the gift. "At least we must get married first, and then let Mr. Li rush back to get married once, otherwise things will not be easy to do."

She ......" Jiang Xiuyu also knew that Xu Peipei was not a way to do this, and her belly would always get bigger and bigger. It's been three months soon, and at four months it will definitely be impossible to hide. She once came up with the idea that it was better to abort the child, but Xu Peipei didn't want to. "Mr. Wang, does Mr. Xu really disagree? Did you tell him about the situation of the Li family......"

"Allah's talk is coming. Yiya (her father) was very hard-tempered, and almost ......, no, no, he had already kicked me out of the house. The old driver shook his head vigorously, he was also extremely disappointed that the marriage could not be negotiated. And the wife of the Li family has a son, and it is impossible to divorce his wife, and if things don't work out, it will really be so deadlocked, unless Mr. Li comes back.

After talking about what happened to him at Li's house, the old driver said, "Does Mr. Li know about this?" ”

"Mr. Li doesn't know." Jiang Xiuyu knew that the old driver said that Xu Peipei was pregnant, and immediately shook her head. Pepe said that Mr. Li was very busy with official business in Berlin, and the official business was not very smooth, so he did not plan to tell Mr. Li. She... She intends to give birth to herself. ”

"All sorts of looks?!" The old driver's head shook like a rattle, and he objected: "If this matter is known by Yi Ya, I'm afraid it will ......" Thinking of Xu Peipei's father's sick and tuberculosis appearance, the old driver was worried that if the old man knew that his daughter had a child out of wedlock, he would definitely be angry.

"Can't you really say yes?" Xu Peipei was still vomiting in the house, but Jiang Xiuyu wanted to take advantage of this gap to persuade the old driver to try his best to settle the family affairs, "Mr. Wang is well-informed and capable, there will always be a way, if you want money, ......"

"It's hard." The old driver shook his head when he thought of Xu Peipei's father, "Allah still sends a telegram back to Mr. Li first, and then goes again every other month." It's the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and it's not good to go out in July, so Allah will go again at the end of next month, and if it doesn't work, then go again before the Mid-Autumn Festival in early August. Go a few more times, and Yi Ya may change her mind if she changes. ”

When the old driver spoke, Xu Peipei had already come out, and seeing that he was so optimistic, Xu Peipei just chuckled. "It's hard work, Mr. Wang." She said, pouring tea for the old driver.

"It's a good thing, and the hard work is worth it." The old driver smiled dryly with a teacup. "It's not too strong...... It's okay that Mr. Li doesn't know about this, Mr. Li always knows, right? This is the blood of the Li family, Mr. Li said that Mrs. Li had a difficult birth when she gave birth to a villain, and I am afraid that she will not be able to give birth in the future. ”

"Ahh Xu Peipei was a little surprised, she didn't expect such a thing, and she felt a little pity for Mrs. Li.

"You must not be sloppy when you are a villain, you must not be sloppy." The old driver didn't notice Xu Peipei's thoughts, and only nagged his kindness, "The child belongs to Mr. Li, that is, the Li family's species, Mr. Li knows that it is too late to be happy, of course he will find someone to take care of Nong." How good it is to live here, if Mr. Li knew, he would definitely blame me for not doing things well......"

The old driver said that Xu Peipei just didn't agree to tell the Li family about the pregnancy, and the old driver didn't say anything after saying it, in fact, he also felt that it was not good to live in the Li family without a name or a point, but he was worried that Xu Peipei and this little girl surnamed Jiang would have an accident if they lived here, neither of them had ever given birth to a villain, and they didn't understand anything. His last suggestion was to let his wife come over to take care of him for a while, and Xu Peipei agreed to this proposal. Out of Xu Peipei's place, the old driver hurriedly went to the telegraph office to make a telegram, he didn't listen to Xu Peipei's want to hide this matter, and the telegram to Berlin began with the words 'Xu is pregnant'.

Since returning to Berlin from Switzerland, Li Kongrong has been busy. The first thing is to have a deep talk with Huang Minglong, he feels that although this person is too conservative, but when no one is available, he can only appoint Huang Minglong as the head of the laboratory, start recruiting researchers, leasing research institutes, and buying research equipment, but he asked the laboratory to only recruit Chinese, which made Huang Minglong very opposed, after all, compared with Chinese, it will be easier to recruit German researchers, but Li Kongrong insisted on recruiting all Chinese.

The second thing was the submarine negotiations, during which Li Kongrong and Dönitz met twice, one of which was specifically about the two training submarines, but Dönitz still pushed off the matter on the grounds that the submarine force was training intensively. This means that if you want to get a submarine, you can only order it at the Lübeck shipyard. Custom-made and custom-made, but after several urgings, the Hebulou company has not sent the drawings and performance parameters of the submarine for a long time, which makes people very uneasy.

The third is to contact Jiang Weiguo. Even though he will become the naval attache of the Republic of China government in Germany next month, Li Kongrong still hasn't found any information about Jiang Weiguo, his German studies at the University of Berlin ended a few months ago, and now I heard that he lives in a countess's house in Berlin, but no one knows where he lives except for a limited number of people, and the phone number is even more unclear. Funnily enough, Li Kongrong remembered Hitler's phone number: 120050, which was from his later memories, but he didn't dare to make this call, and the Gestapo came to the door as soon as he called.

When waiting for Chen Shaokuan and others at the airport, Li Kongrong was summarizing these things in boredom. He had no idea that his beautiful little wife was three months pregnant, and his eyes were only fixed on the calendar in the airport waiting room: June 30, seven more days would be the July Seven Incident, which meant that minus the time to send a telegram back to China, he had to get Jiang Weiguo's phone number within five days, so as not to lose the first opportunity to gain Chang Kaishen's trust.

If he misses it this time, according to the intelligence sales table he listed, the next intelligence is that a Japanese ship in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River escaped pursuit because of Huang Jun's whistleblowing before the navy closed the river. If history does not change, the next piece of information is that the 3rd and 11th divisions of the Japanese army landed in the area of Xiaochuansha and Lion Forest to outflank the country. Army left rear. But it's August, if he can gain Chang Kaishen's trust through the 77 Incident, even a little bit of trust, it will be beneficial for him to prevent Chang Kaishen from fighting in Shanghai.

It's really laughable to say - looking at the history of the Anti-Japanese War in the national government always makes people laugh and cry! The reason why Chang Kaishen decided to start the attack in Shanghai was because he saw that there were only more than 3,000 Japanese marines in Shanghai, so he agreed to Zhang Zhizhong's attack, with the aim of completely annihilating the Japanese marines and making a big news. However, I did not expect that the Japanese would soon come with reinforcements, second, I did not expect that the Japanese fortifications in Shanghai were extremely strong, and third, I did not expect that the 87th and 88th German divisions were incompetent, and they besieged for ten days but found nothing.

If the Japanese marines could not afford to retreat at that time, it was nothing more than to let the Japanese occupy Shanghai, which could be regarded as a stop loss. However, in order to provoke the mediation of the foreign people, Chang Kaishen ordered the troops to hardtop in Shanghai, and in the face of the Japanese naval guns, heavy artillery, and carrier-based aircraft, he actually asked the troops to carry out an anti-landing operation on the swampy land where there were no fortifications and no dangers. In the end, the order to retreat was issued, and it was heard that the League of Nations would meet in Brussels, so he forced the troops to return to their original positions and hold out for another week, so that Shanghai would still resist during the meeting in Brussels. As a result, the order was repeated, and the army was routed all the way to Nanjing, which made Nanjing undefendable and occupied by the Japanese army.

The whole battle perfectly interprets what it means to 'move a stone to shoot yourself in the foot' and what it means to 'steal a chicken does not make a warehouse of rice'. Li Kongrong is only a pity for those Chinese warriors who died in Shanghai and Nanjing due to Chang Kaishen's cleverness and chaotic fate! Of course, in the eyes of the national government, except for a few German armor divisions, other troops, especially miscellaneous troops, are just cheap cannon fodder. Think about the regimental commander of the Gui army who shouted and charged under the muzzle of the Japanese artillery, think about the 1,000 arms of the people cut off by the Japanese army after the landing of Jinshanwei, and think about Nanjing, he always can't ...... himself. Li Kongrong was immersed in his memories, but Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong told him that Chen Shaokuan's plane had arrived, and he had to extinguish his cigarettes, pack up and go to the airport runway to greet him.

"How's the submarine going?" Chen Shaokuan, who has gone around in various countries and wants to purchase more than ten submarines, has received the highest level of treatment, so he is now full of spring breeze, and everyone is a few years younger.

"The Navy is still reluctant to sell those two training boats." Li Kongrong shook his head bitterly, "It seems that we can only hope for the Lübeck shipyard." ”

"How's that going with the shipyard? Have the specific contracts been negotiated? Chen Shaokuan also expected this result, so he asked about the contract.

"I've personally visited the shipyard, there are eight docks, it's not difficult to build two large and six small, and the shipyard has no orders recently, so these docks can just be used by us." Li Kongrong first talked about the shipyard, "The price of the other party bites to death of 10 million and 5 million, and does not agree to reduce it, and it is estimated that the minister will have to personally go out to reduce some of it." The construction period was negotiated, but the other party did not dare to fully guarantee it, even if we paid in full. Another tricky thing is the drawing and performance parameters of the submarine, the other party has been reluctant to provide them for a long time, and the parameters I wrote have been sent to them, and they have not replied for a long time. I guess this is probably the reason why the officials are slight, and they don't want to talk to me. ”

Cracking, belittling, buying, and even sowing discord between buyers and professionals are all common tricks used by large customers of industrial products to sell, after all, professionals are difficult to be fooled, and sellers cannot get any benefits. It was precisely in this way that Li Kongrong was disgusted by Hans Crane, the operator of the Hebulou Company, so Crane, who was known as the little radish head, simply did not conduct in-depth negotiations with Li Kongrong, who was proficient in submarines, on the grounds that he did not have the authorization of the Chinese Admiralty.

He knew that the Chinese needed submarines very urgently, and at the same time they could only buy them in Germany, and instead of discussing everything with Li Kongrong now, it was better to seize the eagerness of the other party and delay until the last few days to determine the matter. At that time, the Chinese navy was faced with two choices: either accept his conditions – including bizarre prices, uncertain construction periods, and low-end performance; Or go home empty-handed and lose nothing.

Sure enough, Chen Shaokuan, who heard that Li Kongrong had done these things in the past ten days, immediately did not look good, he had told Li Kongrong before he left that he wanted to negotiate all the contracts, but now he has nothing to do except visit the shipyard, and he still has to wait for him, the minister, to personally negotiate and make a decision. He wanted to return home as soon as possible, so how could he stay in Germany for too long?

Chen Shaokuan's color changed, but Lin Xianxin chuckled: "Germany will also look at people!" I think it's better to let Shao Sheng continue to talk about this matter, he understands, the Germans are afraid to talk to him, and it is not good for us to talk about the change in the middle. ”

Hearing Lin Xianxin speak for himself, Li Kongrong immediately looked at him gratefully, feeling that he was not as hateful as before. Lin Xianxin didn't look at him, but said: "Remember the Ninghai ship, it was also talked about at that time, and it was the most unfavorable to change people halfway." ”

"Minister, do you look at this matter, ......" Lin Xianxin finished speaking, Zhou Yingcong also spoke, he also thought that the submarine contract should be negotiated by Li Kongrong, if the Germans look down on people in the crack of the door, then the minister should express his full support, and when he finally took out the negotiated contract, the minister will agree again, and it will definitely be inappropriate to negotiate by himself.

"Good. Then let Shao Sheng talk about it, but what to talk about must be reported to me every day, talk about it, and report when it can be finished. Chen Shaokuan also remembered Ninghai's negotiation, and finally nodded.

"Minister," Li Kongrong was not moved by Chen Shaokuan's continued trust, he knew how angry Chen Shaokuan would be once the negotiation could not be reached, in order to prevent it in advance, he smiled bitterly: "That little radish head is looking at us to buy submarines in Germany, so we ignore it, if the matter is really negotiated, we must first make plans that we can't buy it." ”

Li Kongrong said so, Lin Xianxi nodded slowly when he heard this, but Chen Shaokuan's face was even worse. The submarine dream has been done for decades, and now it is on the lips, how can there be any plans to buy it? He immediately glared at him and said, "It must be negotiated!" ”

"Minister, if the result must be negotiated, it is very likely that the negotiation will not be successful, and even if the negotiation is completed, the price, performance, and delivery time will be very unsatisfactory, and the gains will outweigh the losses." Li Kongrong was covered in sweat on his back, and he had to insist on his opinion.

"Then buy it back!" Chen Shaokuan waved his hand. "This time it won't work, we'll all be old if we wait."
