Tonight's night was particularly long for Li Kongrong, and on the other side of the city, in the Japanese embassy in Germany, the Japanese with their eyebrows raised and their eyes were also sleepless all night. During the day, the intelligence officers sent to the railway station and the embassy in China to find out the news came back, and in the middle of the night, looking at those various photos, the embassy and the military attache office identified every person in China overnight - so that they could guess the purpose of the delegation of China, and then stop and sabotage their plan.

"Your Excellency, the members of the Chinese delegation are exactly the same as they were when they went to London, Geneva, and Paris, and the purpose of the Chinese is supposed to be to buy arms from the country." The first secretary of the embassy, Masayani Tadaho, reported the photo comparison to Ambassador Shigetoku Togo and others, and he continued: "With the agreement made before the independence of China, it is difficult for us to stop their deal. This was an agreement before the anti-communist pact, and it was difficult for the independent countries to give up the large market of China. ”

"That's because Hisch hasn't tamed the Wehrmacht yet." Army attaché, Major General Hiroshi Oshima, was the man who knew the political situation in Germany best, and was also a fervent admirer of Hitler, and it was in his positive response that the anti-communist pact was signed. "Only when the Hisch controls the Wehrmacht can the independence of the country be unanimous, and the arms deal with China can be stopped."

"How long will it take?" Shigetoku Togo asked Hiroshi Oshima that he, the ambassador, had to listen to Oshima, the military attaché, many times.

"I don't know." Hiroshi Oshima shook his head. "We don't know what Heath thinks, but I think it obviously won't take long."

"So what now?" "China is actively seeking aid from various countries, and London and Paris have both asked for large loans, and it is likely that they will go to Chilu and Rice next." The people of China are always like this: they never abide by the treaties they want to sign, and once they are sanctioned, they use the treaties to win over the powers against the empire, which is really a group of untrustworthy villains. ”

"So China can only become the fertilizer of the empire, and in the whole of Asia, only neon is the superior race, and China is an inferior race." Major General Hiroshi Oshima disagreed, saying that during his years in the country, he had the deepest understanding of the Nazi racial theory. After expressing his opinion, Hiroshi Oshima continued: "Please rest assured, your Excellency, only a small number of people in the independent country support China, and their plan will not succeed. ”

"Chen, Minister of the Chinese Navy, came to Germany, and Lin Xianxi, director of the Ordnance Department of the Chinese Navy." Rear Admiral Kojima, the naval attache Hideo Kojima, who was holding a photo of Chen Shaokuan and Lin Xianxi, began to speak, "Combined with the information from London, the China Navy should want to buy a submarine from the independent country, which is probably the reason why Chen Shi, the Minister of the China Navy, came to Germany. Oshima-kun, if Shina has a submarine, even if it is just a submarine, it is a threat to the lifeline of the empire. If they propose to the independent government to buy a large number of submarines, will we be able to stop it? ”

Of course, Japan could not ask Germany not to trade with China, but the naval weapons were different, and the ships were the embodiment of combat effectiveness. Although there had been contracts with Germany and a number of speedboats had been delivered, the submarines were not at all comparable to torpedo boats. From the point of view of the navy, it is better for China to purchase independent cruisers and battleships than for China to buy submarines - cruisers and battleships on the surface will always be wiped out by the Imperial Navy, but submarines for underwater operations are difficult to find, and once submarines are formed to carry out sabotage warfare, the situation of the Empire will not be better than that of Britain in World War I.

"If the China Navy orders a submarine from a single country, of course we will try to destroy it as much as possible." The Navy is the Navy, the Army is the Army, and Hiroshi Oshima is not too happy to help the Navy.

"Your Excellency, this can't be as much as possible, it must be certain!" They are all major generals, so Hideo Kojima can only glare at Hiroshi Oshima to express his dissatisfaction.

"Only delay!" Hiroshi Oshima was very uncomfortable by him, but he was all working for His Majesty the Emperor, and he had to give his own way. "And I'll let the Independence reduce the performance of submarines."

"The Navy cannot accept this result!" Hideo Kojima was still not satisfied, "Once the Shina Navy gets one submarine, it will find a way to get two. Shipping is the lifeline of the empire, and the more submarines there are in China, there is no way to guarantee the safety of the empire's shipping, and there is no way to achieve the strategy of the Raiders. Don't you know, the Kuomintang has already compromised with Chilu? Do you want to be cut off by the Shina Navy while the Empire attacks Chilu? ”

Hearing the threat from Kojima, Hiroshi Oshima stood up with a 'snort', and he said with disdain: "The Shina Navy only has 50,000 tons of ships, while the Imperial Navy has more than 1 million tons of ships, won't the Navy fight when it sees Shina and submarines?!" ”

"During World War I, Britain had 2.7 million tons of warships, but it could do nothing against the 300 submarines of the independent country. Could the Imperial Navy be better than the Royal Navy? Hideo Kojima looked up at Hiroshi Oshima and retorted.

"China is an inferior nation, don't compare the inferior nation with the superior nation of an independent country. The Imperial Navy, unable to defeat the submarines of China, do not look for an excuse to get away from responsibility. "Hiroshi Oshima still defies the navy.

"The people of China must be prevented from obtaining the Solitaire submarine!!" Seeing that Hiroshi Oshima was still uncompromising, Hideo Kojima also stood up, and the two looked at each other, looking like they were going to fight.

"Yaga!" Ambassador Shigetoku Togo, who couldn't stop the naval and land military attaches from fighting with his eyes, finally couldn't help but shout, and he also stood up, "If the army does nothing to the difficulties of the navy, it can only prove that Neon is also an inferior nation!" ”

One sentence hit Hiroshi Oshima in the key point, and he said stupidly: "The army naturally will not sit idly by and watch the difficulties of the navy, but the navy cannot push its own responsibility to the army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The independence is not as unanimous as the empire, and Hisch is now unable to control the Wehrmacht and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor can he interrupt the arms trade with China, so we can only delay, but if the delay is ineffective, the navy must face the fact that China has submarines. ”

"Since it can be delayed, then let the independent country keep delaying and never deliver the submarine!" Hideo Kojima insisted. "Although the navy is strong, the tiger can't stand lice, let alone a bunch of lice."

"It can only be as much as possible." Hiroshi Oshima, who sat down, once again stated his opinion, "But delay does not ultimately prevent the people of China from acquiring submarines, especially if there is no justification for the independence of the country." ”

When Hideo Kojima was about to say something, Shigetoku Togo interrupted, and he said, "Oshima-kun has promised to do his best to prevent the Shina Navy from obtaining submarines, and in view of the current political situation in the country, he can only promise like this. In addition, don't forget about the United States, if China cannot obtain submarines in the independent country, then it will naturally pin its hopes on the United States, and the Navy still has to be prepared to accept the fact that the China Navy has submarines. ”

"Hey!" As soon as Dongxiang Shigede mentioned the rice country, Kojima Hideo could only stop - in the independent country, it may still be destroyed, but in the rice country, it must not be destroyed at all.

"There are also air force generals in the delegation to Germany this time." Dongxiang Maode took a photo marked as the commander of the Air Force and said, this person is Shen Dexie, "Oshima-kun, do you want to order an independent plane?" ”

"Even if the people of China want to buy planes, the independent country will not sell them to them." Hiroshi Oshima laughed at this time, looking proud. "Any request they have from the Luftwaffe will only be rejected."

"And what about His's attitude towards the China delegation?" A thoughtful Togo Shigede asked. "Does he care about China's economic interests, or does he focus on strategic interests with the empire?"

"No one understands what Heath thinks, but I believe he will eventually take the side of the Empire. Because only the empire can help the independent country gain living space, the Chinese will only help the naked dew and the independent country and the empire to do the opposite. Hiroshi Oshima. He clearly knew more about Germany than Ambassador Shigetoku Togo. "The Kuomintang in China is now under the infiltration and control of the Communists, and as in the Nanking incident a decade ago, they are likely to take the initiative to attack the Empire and attack the Imperial diaspora when the Empire is fighting against Chilu. If Hisch could believe this, he would naturally abandon China. ”

"I see!" Shigetoku Togo glanced at Hiroshi Oshima and made a note of this in his heart. He then scolded Oshima Hiroshi and said, "Please leave the matter of the submarine to Oshima-kun." ”

Dongxiang Shide is like this, and Hideo Kojima on the side also bowed to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, "Everything is left to Oshima-kun." ”

The long dark night will finally end, and after Li Kongrong wrote more than ten pages of his diary and the letter to Kong Lingyi, the table clock in the living room rang again, this time no longer 'dang', but 'dang' five times. The sky was about to dawn, and Li Kongrong, who had been tossing all night, got up from his chair and waited for Qiu Zhongming downstairs.

Qiu Zhongming arrived on time, and just as he was about to knock on the door, Li Kongrong opened the door. "You're pretty punctual." Li Kongrong smiled.

"Yes, sir." Qiu Zhongming replied at a loss. He hadn't slept well all night, and although there was nothing wrong with helping to deliver the letter, since then, he has obviously sided with Li Kongrong. If Lin Zhun knew about this, he would definitely wear his small shoes, and it was even likely that he would not be allowed to get on the ship.

Seeing that Qiu Zhongming was a little tired under the light, Li Kongrong probably saw his worry, and he said: "The letter is just a farewell greeting, it's not a big deal." Lin Zhun has a prominent family background, and of course his temperament is a little arrogant, but his nature is not bad. He may be able to get more support from Minister Chen for leading you, which may be a good thing. ”

Thinking that the chief wrote to Miss Kong to ask for her help in speaking, and didn't want the chief to have such a heart at all, Qiu Zhongming hesitated for a moment before saying, "The chief treats people fairly and selflessly, and the lower officials would rather follow the chief." ”

"Hehe......" Li Kongrong smiled, but he was slightly moved in his heart, but he put away this emotion after a while, and he said: "You are still young, there is still a long way to go, many times the ideal and the reality are always very far away, but what can be done about this?" In the face of those unsatisfactory results, we did our best, and there is nothing to regret. ”

"But ......" Qiu Zhongming wanted to say that since he wanted to do his best, why didn't he ask Miss Kong to help him speak, but after all, he was an honor student, and finally swallowed the words. Although Minister Chen has not been in contact with him, he can ask the head of the Kong family to help him say something, I am afraid that Minister Chen and the chief will not be able to accept this method.

"Alright, you go down." Li Kongrong handed the letter in his hand to Qiu Zhongming, and then said.

"Yes, sir!" Qiu Zhongming took the letter and saluted solemnly, then turned around and quietly went downstairs.

The east was white, Li Kongrong fell asleep in a daze, and more than an hour later, the wake-up horn sounded, and Major Li Kongrong got up in a daze. There was no time to read the diary for a few minutes, and when the major got dressed and ran downstairs, Lin Zhun was already standing under the flagpole - in order to take over the entire cadets stationed in Germany, he did not sleep in the hotel last night, but slept here.

Seeing Major Li Kongrong standing in the queue, Lin Zhun smiled proudly, he didn't give the order to do the exercise, but said: "There is one thing I was going to announce later, but since everyone is here, it doesn't matter if you announce it now." Lin Zhun looked at everyone with a smile, and his posture was tall. Major Li is now Mr. Kong Yongzhi's adjutant, and in a few days. He's going back home......"

Most of the students thought that Lin Zhun was coming, and Major Li would retire as the second-in-command, and they didn't want him to return to China in a few days, so they were in an uproar, but Lang Jiancheng was snickering, and Han Zhaolin also secretly kicked Lang Jiancheng to show his excitement.

“…… Therefore, from today onwards, Major Lee will not be listed. Finish. Lin Zhun was very satisfied with the reaction of the students, and then said the following words. Otherwise, it will affect the delegation's official business. Major Li, you are out of the ranks. ”

It is obvious that he will stand out in front of everyone and suppress his prestige in front of everyone. Of course, the major who had accepted his fate didn't want to fight with Lin Zhun for anything, and he hadn't fought with him before, so he smiled bitterly and walked out of the queue gloomily, and went back to the room alone. Listening to the below, he had no choice but to pick up the diary to see what his other self had written last night.

‘…… If we don't do anything, then we can be sure that we will all die in the place where the shipwreck of Jiangyin is. Because once the war starts, the only strategy of the navy is to block the west and retreat, and Jiangyin is the narrowest part of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and there is no better place to block the Yangtze River......

…… I don't believe that after we die, there will be someone to take care of our women and your son - don't think that Fuzhou will be outside the war, it is also a port, and in the event of a full-scale war, the Japanese army will occupy Fuzhou and Xiamen and block all foreign trade routes on the mainland.

Your wife has a deep affection for you and will definitely go with you. Your son may be able to grow up ......, but he is more likely to die in a place that no one knows, and this is not a threat. Do you know why I'm so trying to hook up with the British? It is to let the people you love leave the continent, leave the battlefield, war, it is just a man's business.

We don't ask anybody to help us say something, all we have to do is seize the opportunity and use our own power to get those people to change their minds, but it takes an opportunity, a chance for me......
