It was Wednesday, January 12, 1938, and before that, Li Kongrong, who was stranded in Berlin, had not received a notice from the stationmaster Frank Foley, which was tantamount to saying that MI6 did not want to intervene in the marriage of Field Marshal von Blomburg, of course, this was only a superficial phenomenon, and the most fundamental reason was that Britain and France had acquiesced to Germany's annexation of Austria. On this day www.biquge.info Lee Kong-wing went to the War Department on Wilhelm Street, where the wedding was said to have taken place, and he wanted to confirm whether Field Marshal von Blomburg was married on this day. It's a pity that when he saw Hitler's motorvoy driving on a BMW motorcycle, Li Kongrong, who was outside the Ministry of War, couldn't help but shake his head, von Blomburg is finished!

"Sir, do we need to go in?" When Stern, the young Jewish man in the car, saw Li Kongrong like this, and his expression became a little uneasy: under the advice of Ms. Susan Esposi and the Jewish elders of the diocese, Li Kongrong had already been boasted as the savior of the Jews, who could help countless Jews to obtain visas and escape from this sea of suffering.

"No, you don't!" Li Kongrong opened the car window and threw the cigarette butt out. "Hans, don't you want to go to school?" He lit a cigarette and asked boringly.

"Sir, we weren't allowed to go to class for a long time." Hans Stern replied, with some sorrow in his eyes. He was about sixteen years old, and his eyebrows and face looked like those of a Caucasians, but his black hair and brown eyes made him a second-class race. When Lee Kong-wing conceived the Miscellaneous Fish Project and asked Susan for a Jewish attendant, Hans Stern, who could drive, was immediately introduced by the Jewish elders of the diocese. He had long since stopped studying, and learned the trade of driving from his father, a veteran of the German Fourth Army during World War I. If he didn't care about his ethnicity, he was a good boy, like the bicycle student of the beautiful Sicilian legend.

"And what are you usually doing?" Li Kongrong asked with a smile, and handed him one: "Do you smoke?" ”

"Thank you, sir. …… No, sir. Hans wanted to take the cigarette but hesitated, and finally chose to refuse.

He didn't take Li Kongrong or give it, he wanted to wait for Hitler's motorcade to come out again, and he was also reflecting on what he had done wrong this time - he was fully convinced that it was a trap for the Nazi Party to prompt von Blomburg to marry a female secretary with a criminal record, because von Blomburg opposed the annexation of Austria - and the action was still not enough! This is the first conclusion of Li Kongrong's reflection.

"You have ...... Like the girl? In the meaningless waiting, Li Kongrong, who summed up his problem, seemed to be squatting on the toilet so at a loss, he wanted to chat with Stern at the moment, even if it was some nonsense.

"......" Hans Stern was very restrained by Li Kongrong's question, his hand moved a few times on the steering wheel, and his face turned red, and it took him a while to pluck up the courage to say, "Yes, sir." ”

"Oh oh......" Li Kongrong laughed, and he asked, "Are you in love?" ”

"No, sir. She said she didn't like me and liked another person. Hans Stern gradually became less nervous.

"Why?" Li Kongrong asked curiously, "That person is more handsome than you, or richer than you?" ”

"I don't know sir." Stern lowered his gaze and touched his nose at the same time, he was not confident.

"Didn't you ask him to his face?" Li Kongrong's eyes swept over the gates of the War Department, where there were only rows of cars and guards, and it seemed that von Blomburg's wedding was going on, and it was under Hitler's auspices. "Haven't sent her flowers, haven't written her love letters? You wouldn't have done nothing, would you? ”

"No, sir, I kissed her." Stern's astonishing answer made Li Kongrong laugh, it turned out that the family had already gone further.

"And then?" Li Kongrong smiled and asked, "Did she give you a slap?" ”

"No, sir. She said she hated me. Stern said helplessly. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. ”

"Hate you?" It's hard to guess what the girl was thinking, and with words alone, Lee Kong-young couldn't conceive the story of Stern and his girlfriend.

"Yes, that's what she said at the time. Sir, I want to know, will I get pregnant by doing that? Stern looked at Li Kongrong with a very worried look, it seems that the German students have not taken physiology and hygiene classes.

"Is it just kissing?" Li Kongrong smiled, feeling very interesting, "What else have you done?" ”

"I ......" Stern's head began to blacken, and he stammered, "I don't know what else I did at the time, I just remember kissing her, but...... But, there may be something else being done. ”

"She's Jewish?" Li Kongrong smiled and couldn't help but think of his past.

"Yes, sir. She was a tailor, no, her father was a tailor, and in the past, there were many decent gentlemen who would ask him to make clothes, but now there are none, and everyone hates Jews. Stern looked at Lee Kongrong, waiting for his answer.

"You ......" Li Kongrong thought about whether he should tell the truth, he was very worried that his driver was not serious about driving every day, but thinking of the law of retribution summed up a few days ago, he finally said truthfully: "Pregnancy is not so simple, pregnancy must be stripped naked and go to bed, if it doesn't happen to you, then you won't get pregnant......"

In the midst of a pointless exchange, an hour later, Hitler's motorcade finally exited the gates of the War Ministry and headed back to the Chancellery. Later, Li Kongrong saw Goering in the convoy behind him, as well as von Blomburg and his new wife in a black Mercedes. Through the window, Göring, dressed in medals, sat in the back seat of the car, leaning proudly on his head, probably glad that he was finally going to kill von Blomburg; Von Blomburg saw no human figure, only a silhouette of a woman in a white wedding dress.

"Let's drive!" Li Kongrong extinguished his cigarette and said to his little follower.

"Yes, sir." Stern started the car, and when the car was on the road, he asked, "Sir, where are we going now?" ”

"Go to ......" Li Kongrong wanted to say that he would go to the military attaché, but when he thought that Xu Bozhou's bastard actually eavesdropped on him, he changed his words and said: "Let's go to the embassy." ”

Von Blomburg's wedding took place in the morning, and it was already off work when Li Kongrong arrived at the embassy in Germany. Only Tan Boyu, the commercial counselor, was there, and when he saw him, Li Kongrong said: "I have something urgent, what about Brother Jasic?" ”

"Brother Jasic has gone home for dinner." Tan Boyu has been in Germany longer than Cheng Tianfang, and he is the second-in-command of the embassy, he saw Li Kongrong coming in a hurry, and said strangely: "Brother Hans is in a hurry?" After speaking, he sighed again: "Do you know, Nanjing has fallen!" ”

"The fall of Nanjing?" Li Kongrong had long forgotten about Nanjing, and in his opinion, the fall of Nanjing was a matter of time. On the contrary, he was concerned about the Nanjing Massacre, but as far as he knew, even if it was a massacre, it would not be as tragic as history. The defenders had more time to calmly mount their defenses, and the residents of the city were evacuated early.

"Yes, just received the telegram!" Tan Boyu lamented. "It is said that the soldiers defending the city are fighting in the streets of the Japanese army, vowing to live and die with the capital."

Chang Kaishen put integrity and righteousness first, believing that spirit and flesh and blood can defeat steel, compared with them, the Japanese army, who often talked about broken jade, became a calm and realistic materialist, and rarely took the initiative to make rash moves. But like Song Ru, it is useless to have just one breath, war is steel and explosives, and flesh and blood, especially those that have not been fully trained, are just food delivery.

"Things ......" Li Kongrong sat down a little tired, he really didn't want to think about the war in the country anymore. The pattern has been formed, and it is impossible to change the overall situation just by exerting force from the country, otherwise he will jump around in the cage like a monkey. Interesting? It's not interesting at all! In the end, the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is still to wait for the Soviet army to occupy Berlin, the US army to defeat Okinawa, and finally send two atomic bombs.

Therefore, his value and his choice are particularly important, but unfortunately, he is a man with almost no resources, and even less executive ability, even von Blomburg's female secretary can't handle it, so he decides: this situation must be changed!

"Is there anything wrong with Brother Hansheng...... Li Kongrong came in a hurry, but he was talking about the fall of Nanjing, Tan Boyu was a meticulous person, and he felt that Li Kongrong must have something.

"Brother Boyu, I just got a piece of news that Sino-German relations are about to change dramatically!" Li Kongrong said, "Let's invite Brother Jasic and Colonel Xu right away to discuss how to deal with it." ”

"What! Changes?! Tan Boyu was shocked, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, the capital had just fallen, and there was a problem in China and Germany.

Cheng Tianfang and Xu Bozhou arrived within 20 minutes and listened to Li Kongrong's finished speaking. Even more anxious is Xu Bozhou, who in Germany is to ensure that there will be no problems in arms sales. He couldn't sit still and wandered around the room, and said hurriedly: "Brother Hansheng, this is not child's play!" This is related to the great cause of the War of Resistance! As soon as Germany does not sell arms, we ......, hey!! Xu Bozhou stomped his feet.

"Brother Hansheng, can't you think of a way?" Cheng Tianfang was wearing a casual suit, he didn't want to come to the embassy in the afternoon, he didn't think that a slap in the phone would be earth-shattering news, or the sky would fall.

"What can be done!" Li Kongrong smiled helplessly, he could not complain that Chang Kaishen could not be ruthless, and it was not easy to say that von Blomburg was about to step down, he could only say that he had received news that the German political scene would change greatly, and in view of the inability of China and Japan to mediate, Hitler was determined to cut off the arms trade between China. "We have to prepare in advance, at least with the Wehrmacht. And what about Mr. Crane? ”

"Mr. Crane is in Berlin." Tan Boyu said: In business matters, especially the arms trade, he is the actual operator of the account negotiations, and Xu Bozhou is the assistant and supervisor -- supervising the quality of the arms and the delivery time.

"Then find him right away, the sooner we prepare, the better." Li Kongrong then asked, "How many arms are still to be delivered in the next two months?" ”

The Sino-German arms deal was originally a secret, but at this time the situation was urgent, Tan Boyu no longer concealed it, he said: "There was an order of 190 million marks before, and last month the country added 30 million marks of arms, all of which were urgently ordered, and some of them were even directly allocated from the Wehrmacht's arsenal. ”

"Brother Hansheng, is your news accurate? When will Hitler break the arms trade? Goering had done this kind of thing before, more than once, but wasn't it also pushed back by the Wehrmacht and the Ministry of Economy, how did it come true this time? Cheng Tianfang, who had been sitting for a while, finally regained some composure, and he suddenly suspected that Li Kongrong was alarmist.

"Brother Jasic, this time it's real!" Li Kongrong looked at him with great sincerity. "Mr. Chiang Barry's departure a few days ago shows that the peace talks brokered by Germany have basically come to an end, and the Japanese have even begun to say that 'they will not negotiate with the chairman's government.'" If the situation in the Far East had been fine before, and the Japanese did not resist Japan and the Germans sold arms once or twice, each time they were pushed back by the Wehrmacht and the Ministry of Economy, but this time it was really different...... I attended the New Year's reception that day and heard something......"

"What's that?" Cheng Tianfang asked. "What's at stake?"

"When it comes to the Wehrmacht, one of Goering's cronies said that next month Goering will become defense minister." Li Kongrong made up a plausible lie, and everyone couldn't sit still.

"It's true?!!" Cheng Tianfang's face turned pale again, and his glasses almost fell off when he got up.

"Yes. That's what I heard, through the door. Li Kongrong looked at Cheng Tianfang sincerely. I thought about it later, the German defense minister was indeed going to change, Field Marshal von Blomburg was not the kind of combative soldier, and Germany had to merge with Austria in the way of Britain and France, and the time was only a few months away. You say, do you want to change people? ”

Cheng Tianfang, who Li Kongrong said, had to nod, and he continued: "Marshal von Blomburg stepped down, and there will be many people who will replace him, but if Marshal von Blomburg can be taken by Hitler, then why can't Goering go up?" The Nazi Party was only a Nazi Party, not the Wehrmacht, and the situation was that the Nazi Party was gradually taking control of the Wehrmacht, which was a prerequisite for Germany to wage war. Our problem now is that the Nazis are pro-Japanese, the Wehrmacht is pro-China, and the so-called fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond, and once there is a change in high-level personnel in Germany, Sino-German relations will certainly fall to the bottom. ”

"Brother Hansheng, is there no way to turn around?" Xu Bozhou is a layman, and when Li Kongrong talks about this, he still wants to turn around.

"There's really no way to turn around. Hitler's mind was not so easy to change, at least I could not change it. Li Kongrong shook his head. We can only rush out some more arms before Germany stops the arms deal, and then try to do third-party trade, order German arms in the name of a third country, and then ship them back to China in their name. Finally, the country must make arrangements and formulate a strategy as early as possible, otherwise it will be caught off guard and will definitely be involved in the war. (To be continued.) )
