Chapter 26: Don't Get in the Way

Lee Kongrong's request was reported the next day by Major Lyman-William Bullock to Lieutenant Commander Slevogt, the director of the Submarine Academy. Nothing related to the Chinese Navy is www.biquge.info trivial, especially during the period of deterioration of Sino-German relations. Lieutenant Colonel Slervogt quickly reported the situation to Dönitz, but the two did not discuss the matter until Dönitz returned to Berlin.

"Are the Chinese crazy?" The lieutenant colonel looked at Dönitz, who had returned from a business trip, "I think they are crazy." ”

"No, the Chinese are smart." Dönitz looked at Slevogt and turned his gaze to the ship model sent by Li Kongrong, but the position of the ship model was empty, and the ship model had been handed over to the submarine designer for verification. After receiving the news of the radio surface detector, Dönitz began to attach importance to real 'submarines', but only to them, and at present he has no plans to build real 'submarines', which is only to make technical reserves for the future.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed China that it is refusing to accept new Chinese military personnel for training in Germany because of the treaty of friendship between China and the Soviet Union." Dönitz said that this was the news he got in Kiel, from the Admiralty.

"Really?" Slevogt finally understood why the Chinese were shortening the course, which was simply a precaution. "Should we cancel the training of the Chinese Navy?" He asked suddenly.

"We have not received this notification." Dönitz's eyes flashed, and he replied. "In fact, they can't get submarines at all, and now the Lübeck shipyard has slowed down the pace of construction, and the submarines will not be launched at the specified time, let alone delivered to the Chinese on time, and more likely, never delivered."

Dönitz talked about the trouble of the Chinese, and at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Zhiguang, who was at the Lübeck shipyard, looked at the empty dock and took off his military hat on his head. At this time, Lieutenant Colonel **** ran over from the shipyard office in a hurry, and he said: "The factory department said that the high-pressure pump did not arrive, and it can only be stopped today." ”

"It's all excuses!" Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zhenqi said hatefully, "They just don't want to build it at all." ”

"Call Shao Sheng." Lin Huiping, the deputy superintendent of the building, said that he was also a graduate of the 12th Mawei Engine and was in the same class as Li Kongrong.

"It's good to call him over." Wang Zhiguang nodded, Neustadt was more than 20 kilometers away, and everyone would gather for dinner on weekends. Despite the bad relations between China and Germany, Li Kongrong's activities always seem to have worked.

During the day, he trained at the naval base, and at night, Li Kongrong asked his little follower to drive over. At this time, it has been nearly two weeks of training on the boat, and he was worried that he would not be able to do it, but the actual situation is not the case, the things taught by the German side are still very basic, and some operations have procedures, as long as they are handled in accordance with the regulations, practice makes perfect is a matter later.

In the apartment in the shipyard, Wang Zhiguang and Lin Huiping were playing chess, and Lieutenant Colonel **** Ying was fiddling with the camera - he was transferred directly from the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute for the purpose of recording in detail all the steps of the German side in building the submarine, and taking pictures of the submarine and various drawings without being discovered by the factory side. These things will be brought back to China to prepare for the imitation submarine of the Jiangnan Shipyard.

"Hey...... "Hey" took out the film from the camera and put it in the pillow where he was sleeping. Ying grinned, he patted the pillow with great satisfaction, and said, "Half of the submarines are inside." ”

"Put it away, put it away!" Wang Zhiguang watched as he took out the film from his camera. The drawings were explained above, which was also caused by the fact that the contract with Germany was too anxious to negotiate, and the idea of the ministry at that time was to buy a few submarines and then build one or two under the guidance of the Germans. However, with the current Sino-German relations, it is in vain to talk about it.

"What's going to be put on?" As soon as the door opened, Xu Zhenqi led Li Kongrong and Lin Zhun in, they had just arrived, and the car was parked outside.

"Some ......" Wang Zhiguang and Lin Huiping stood up, Li Kongrong was his own person, Lin Huiping lowered his voice and said: "Some photos of technical drawings took a lot of effort. The camera is too big, and several people have to cover it each time. ”

"Technical drawings, cameras too big?" Li Kongrong looked at the camera in the **** Ying's hand, it was very big, he suddenly thought of the miniature camera given by MI6, and said: "I can sponsor one, the size of a lighter." ”

"Really? Brother Shaosheng, no, no, Brother Hansheng ...... "**** Yao threw the camera and hurriedly ran over. He also graduated from Mawei, but he graduated from the third class of the flying diving school, five years later than Li Kongrong and one year later than Xu Zhenqi, who was the second class. And Wang Zhiguang, the chief governor, also graduated from the ninth year of the People's Republic of China, but it was not a horsetail, it was Wusong Naval School.

Ying ran over excitedly to flatter, but Lin Huiping said, "Hansheng really has that kind of miniature camera?" ”

"Hehe, you're fake when I'm the section chief!" Li Kongrong's pretended gesture made everyone laugh.

A few people laughed, and Wang Zhiguang said: "Hansheng really has a miniature camera? Where did you get it? ”

"Don't ask where you got it, I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow." Li Kongrong is giving out cigarettes to everyone, here he has the highest military rank, and he is a military attache in Germany, so naturally there are some big brothers, that is, Wang Zhiguang, the chief governor, can barely sit on an equal footing with him. "What's going on? Is it a grinding worker, or is it really that the equipment is not there and cannot be built? He sat down and asked.

"It's a grinder." Wang Zhiguang lit a cigarette on the side of his head and took a deep breath before saying. "At first glance, the equipment has not arrived, but the problem is that no matter which equipment has to arrive a long time late, what is this not a foreign worker? The shipyard is easy to talk to, and the work starts as soon as things come, and there is usually little delay, which should be a problem at the top. ”

As soon as the above questions were mentioned, including Lin Zhun, everyone's eyes were on Li Kongrong. Compared with them, who don't know anyone, Li Kongrong is very comfortable in Germany, and he can only come up with a way to solve this problem.

"How much has been built now? Almost in the water? Li Kongrong was silent for a moment and asked, and as soon as he asked, Lin Zhun immediately twisted and moved his ass before sitting down again.

"Into the water? It's early. "Thinking that I can get a lighter-sized camera tomorrow, **** Ying's face is full of smiles." I grinded foreign workers a year ago, and I grinded even more after the year, and at the whole speed, I am afraid that I will not be able to get into the water next year. ”

"So slow?!" Li Kongrong thought that the submarine was about to be launched, and he didn't want to be able to launch it next year because the Nazis sent troops to Austria last week, and the British, who were provoked, informed him that the report on stealing the submarine was basically approved, and the specific details needed to be interviewed. Now everything is ready, all that is left is the water.

"It's so slow. Although we have never built a submarine, I look at the drawings and the whole project is only a little more than a third of the way. Wang Zhiguang added. At this rate, it will not be launched until the end of the year at the earliest, and with outfitting, the ship will not be delivered until the beginning of next year. ”

"Early next year?" Li Kongrong shook his head, Germany will attack Poland in September next year, although it is September, but the ship will be delivered in March or April? In the event of a delay, as soon as Poland starts fighting, these two submarines will definitely be requisitioned by Dönitz. "The daylilies will be cold at the beginning of next year, so it will definitely not work like this."

"Isn't that looking for you to find a way? The original contract was negotiated between you and Shuchun, and you and Shuchun were also approached by Hebulou and the German Admiralty, can you think of a way to urge the progress, try to launch before October, and complete the outfitting by the end of the year. "Wang Zhiguang said." Whether the ship is handed over or not is another matter, it must be built first. ”

"What time is it next week?" Li Kongrong asked Lin Zhun that the training had been ten days, and Major Lehmann would arrange for the cadets to go to sea.

"Wednesday. My group went to sea first, and then yours. Lin Zhun said.

"Then I'll go to Berlin once on Wednesday." Li Kongrong smoked hard, thinking about who to go to for this matter.

After he thought for a while, Wang Zhiguang said: "What is going on, are you sure?" ”

"The thing must be that the Nazis are playing tricks, and most likely it is Goering, who is ready to stop the arms trade between China and Germany," Li Kongrong said of Goering, extinguishing his cigarette. "Behind Goering, of course, is the Japanese Oshima Island, they are all like-minded Nazis, and the Japanese ambassador is simply a cover."

"Then you ......" I heard that the matter involved Goering, and the faces of the people in the room were even more ugly, Goering was basically the second-in-command of Germany, holding a lot of real power, and Hitler also asked him to deal with many things.

"I don't know if he'll listen to me." Li Kongrong lit another cigarette and frowned. "He and the Japanese are national interests, and I don't know if I have a friendship with ......, but everyone knows each other."

"Don't we have a contract?" Lin Huiping was still relatively naïve, and mentioned the shipbuilding contract signed at the beginning.

"It's useless to have a contract." Wang Zhiguang replied, "It's useless to hold the contract on other people's territory. France is also run by the Nazis, and this country, in my opinion, is ...... than we are."

The domestic judiciary is not completely Kuomintang, and judges in some places may not completely stand on the Kuomintang's position in adjudicating cases, but in Germany, Wang Zhiguang has been here for more than half a year, and this country has become as unanimous as the Japanese.

"Let me tell you something, everyone can listen to it, and if you don't hear it, you will treat it as if you haven't heard it, but don't say it." After being silent for a long time, Li Kongrong suddenly spoke. Several people looked at him, but Lin Zhun was the only one who knew what he was going to say.

"Hansheng, you say." Wang Zhiguang nodded to Li Kongrong, wondering what he was going to say.

"From what I know, the Germans are not ready to deliver the ship." Li Kongrong bluntly told him, although Wang Zhiguang and others had been mentally prepared, they were still taken aback. Ying wanted to speak, but Wang Zhiguang stopped her, "Han Sheng, you go on." ”

"I have also told Zunzhi about my previous plan, if the Germans really refuse to hand over the ship, then we will see the opportunity and sail the ship out." After Li Kongrong finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zhiguang and the others, wondering how they would react.

"Drive out?" Wang Zhiguang looked at him, his mouth was extremely long. Lin Huiping, Xu Zhenqi, and **** Ying were stunned.

"Yes. Only then will the submarine be able to return home. Li Kongrong looked at them, and his eyes swept over their faces.

"This ...... Is this an order from the Ministry? Wang Zhiguang asked. Germans, Germans will agree? ”

"It's not an order from the Ministry, it's my personal opinion. Of course, the Germans will not agree, and when the time comes, the Germans will hunt us all over the ocean, and it is estimated that they will hunt us down all the way to Singapore. Li Kongrong looked at everyone with a smile.

"Shao Sheng, this is not a trick." Lin Huiping still confused Li Kongrong's words, and when he was unconscious, he called him 'Shaosheng'. "Even if you die and sail the ship back, you still have to be sentenced, why bother?"

"That's right." Ying also agreed, and he thought deeper. "You drove the boat away, so what about us?"

"You guys?" Li Kongrong smiled, "You go with the ship, you can be safe when you get out of Germany." If you don't want to go together, you can apply to return to China in advance, and the matter will not fall on you. ”

Li Kongrong's smile was a little sarcastic, which made **** Ying bow his head. At this time, Wang Zhiguang, who was silent for a while, said, "Hansheng, your approach is absolutely not good, and it will not work." This matter also involves diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the submarine sails out, and maybe once the diplomatic negotiations are made, it will eventually have to drive back. Hansheng, if you insist on doing this, I can only report to the minister. ”

"Really?" Li Kongrong looked at him with a smile, he knew that Wang Zhiguang was once Chen Shaokuan's adjutant, and he was also one of his cronies, and he and Li Shijia supervised the Ninghai in Japan. "If we don't like what we say, we should never hear it, and don't talk about it."

"This matter is related to the reputation of the navy, and it also involves diplomatic relations between the two countries, if you really want to do this, I have to report it to the ministry." Wang Zhiguang was a little righteous and awe-inspiring, and he looked at Lin Zhun again, "You want to do this too?" ”

Before Lin Zhun could speak, Li Kongrong pulled out his pistol and slapped it on the table with a 'snap' - he was a naval attaché and had the right to carry a gun, and he had also obtained a certificate in Germany and could take him out of the embassy.

"Shao...... Shao Sheng, what do you mean by that? Everyone present changed color, and Lin Huiping stood up and looked at him in shock.

"I'm not interesting." Li Kongrong glared at the few people in front of him. If you don't agree, just report to the ministry, damn it!

"Hansheng, it's all his own people, why do you show the gun." Lin Zhun also came over to speak, he picked up the gun from the table and stuffed it back into Li Kongrong's hand.

"I don't want to get involved in it, so I open up and say, if you have bad intentions and things come out, you will be arrested by the Nazi police one by one, then I am not interesting enough. I said that it was for your sake, and I didn't want to bother you, but if you don't agree, I can arrange for you to leave Germany before then, and if you want, you can go together. Hehe, I'm thinking about you, but someone wants to report to the ministry, is this a good person who doesn't have a good report? Li Kongrong first stared at Wang Zhiguang, and then at Lin Huiping.

"It's a joke, and I'm just half-joking. In the future, if the submarine is really going to be launched, and the Germans will not hand over the ship, I will definitely notify everyone to leave before I do something, and I will not bother you, but if anyone gets in my way, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"You dare!" Li Kongrong's eyes were as hot as fire, Wang Zhiguang only felt that his face was hot, and now that Li Kongrong let out cruel words, he stood up trembling all over, and he didn't know how to say these two words in his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.

"I don't dare to do anything, I only owe one death now! I'll kill whoever stands in my way, it's as simple as that. Li Kongrong also stood up, his eyes glaring at him. The gun in his hand was also loaded, and he said word by word: "Don't get in the way!" (To be continued.) )
