Chapter 66: Handover

Even in Germany's best hospitals, formalin, alcohol, and screams are still in the clean and tidy wards. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor Li Kongrong, who is half of his body in a plaster, the two most profound things are: every morning the nurse opens the window and opens the curtains, and the smell of grass in the garden makes him extremely intoxicated;

Another thing was that in the afternoon, the nurses, especially the blonde nurse named Xenia, helped him wipe himself - according to a nickname among the international students, it was called 'Berlin Land) (this person has been in Germany for several years, and is very familiar with the laws of Berlin streets and alleys, public opinion, people's food and lodging laws, and he is extremely kind, and it is said that he has come forward several times to help his compatriots fight lawsuits for free, so he is called Berlin Land by his compatriots, Few people know their real names)', the ratio of men and women in Berlin is seriously imbalanced, and the data he calculated is that eight and a half Berlin women rob a Berlin man, and the nurses in the senior ward seem to be unmarried except for the head nurse, and of course Xenia, who is in charge of Li Kongrong's ward, is also among them.

Although Li Kongrong has never ridden a Yanpo, the blonde chick in front of him has to touch his whole body through a towel, help him urinate and urinate, and sometimes even help him take out his little brother and 'straighten it'! This really flattered him. He suddenly began to worry about the hospitalization fee, and he really didn't know how much he would have to pay after three months.

On this day, Kesenia had just finished wiping her body when Major Lin Zhun came. He always came every few days, and usually there was something to do - although Li Kongrong couldn't speak for the time being, he could barely write.

"Domestic calls, capture plan has already begun!" Lin Zhun suppressed his excitement, he was only allowed to know part of the plan after Li Kongrong was hospitalized. Although he didn't know what the whole plan was, he felt that he was devoting himself to a great cause, and the minister, Colonel Lin, Zhou Yingcong, Li Kongrong, and him were all part of the whole plan.

Lin Zhun said a word, Li Kongrong blinked his eyes in pain, he could have fallen asleep after taking morphine, but he didn't like that thing. Seeing him blink, Lin Zhun said again: "The sneak attack on the Sunrise Cloud by the Electric Thunder School on the night of the 16th was unsuccessful, and it is said that it only hit the dock. ”

Li Kongrong blinked his eyes again, he didn't care about the Izumo Izumo at all, he only cared about three things now, the first is whether the Ninghai can capture the Japanese merchant ships without revealing its intentions, at least the Japanese should feel that Ninghai is carrying out the task of breaking diplomatic relations, not to explore the clever tricks they played earlier, and are ready to use these ships to convert them into aircraft carriers.

The second thing was whether Jinshanwei's torpedo boats and mine arrays could delay the Japanese landing. If the time is still pressed on the Brussels League of Nations meeting, Chang Kaishen's cowardly bag will order the troops in Shanghai to hold out for another week or more. I just hope that the great rout in history will not happen.

The third thing is the desperate assault of the Gui army, the Gui family originally wanted to have a white-knuckle assault at night, and did not want to repeat the tragedy of the British army killing 60,000 people in one day - six brigade commanders were killed in one night, and the whole army was scattered. The Gui army is the most warlike of the factions, and it would be a pity to run out overnight. If most of this force can be preserved, it is a very suitable choice to retreat into the southern mountain and forest areas to fight mountain warfare with the Japanese army, send troops to Burma to fight jungle warfare, or even transfer to the Pacific Ocean as a marine. The Navy does have marines, but Lee always feels that they are too weak. The technical soldiers are okay, and the army that fights for blood is still the best in the Gui system.

Lin Zhun, who was sitting on the side of the bed, of course didn't know Li Kongrong's plan, and he continued to say some other priorities.

“…… Now the number of submarines has been reduced to two, and the number of officers sent to Germany has also been reduced. China sent people last week: Su Jinghu, Chen Ergong, Cheng Jing, Chen Yaoping; There are Gao Guangyou, Chen Cuichang, Lin Xiangguang, and Cheng Fakan; You are familiar with the ones who went to Lübeck Shipyard to supervise the construction: Wang Zhiguang will come over, as well as Lin Huiping, Xu Zhenqi, Wang. Rong Ying and the three also came. Wang Zhiguang came over to supervise the production, and he was in charge of the students studying in Germany before you were discharged from the hospital. So, we're in Germany, and I'm thirty-three with you. ”

After Lieutenant Colonel Lee Kong-rong's soul disappeared, the memories he left behind began to become readable. At this time, Li Kongrong of course knew who Wang Zhiguang was, he was a close confidant of Chen Shaokuan like Zeng Guosheng and Zhou Yingcong, and had previously served as Chen Shaokuan's adjutant and the deputy captain of the Ninghai (in the navy, most of the deputy captains were pro-Chen Shaokuan, and most of the captains did not like Chen Shaokuan because of the restrictions on public funds). However, Wang Zhiguang was not sent to seize power, and when the Ninghai was built in Japan, he was also one of the supervisors.

Thinking that there were actually thirty-three people, Li Kongrong smiled at the corner of his mouth, it seems that he, the naval attaché and the head of Germany, is not fake, and there are still some people under his hands.

"Japanese?" After laughing, Li Kongrong grabbed a pencil and wrote a few words on the paper, Lin Zhun was a little puzzled when he saw it, and he asked, "Where are the Japanese?" Is it the current war in the country? Li Kongrong didn't blink his eyes after hearing this, and he asked again: "The Japanese in Germany?" At this time, Li Kongrong blinked: he was a little worried at this time that while he was in bed, the Japanese would go around wreaking havoc.

"The Japanese didn't hear anything." Of course, Lin Zhun, who was learning German in the dormitory every day, couldn't hear any movement, but fortunately, Li Kongrong was a little relieved by his words, "There is no news from the embassy and the military attaché, and there is no news from Lang Jiancheng, who is now temporarily supervising the construction at the Lübeck shipyard, and the shipyard is still working every day." However, I heard from Ambassador Cheng that the Japanese are spending money everywhere to publish newspapers saying that we provoked the Sino-Japanese war, and that we violated the original armistice agreement to attack the Shanghai Concession or something......"

"? Haha......" Li Kongrong wrote the word 'fart' on the paper, and Lin Zhun immediately laughed when he saw it. He said: "Anyway, the German newspapers are basically on the side of Japan, accusing us of not keeping our credibility, brutally provoking war, and so on. By the way, Mr. Yongzhi has returned from the Czech Republic, and it seems that he came back today, and if he hears that you are awake, he may come to see you. ”

Since Kong Xiangxi has slipped back again? Li Kongrong was a little surprised, he thought that Kong Haha was going to return to China immediately, but he didn't want him to turn back. This person is really ......, he knows that Chang Kaishen shouldn't start a war in Shanghai, but he is procrastinating abroad, and he doesn't even return to the country, I really don't know what kind of mystery he is playing.

Lin Zhun said that Kong Xiangxi would come, and he didn't want him to come the next morning. He only took his secretary Zhang Pingqun with him this time, and Kong Lingyi, who was also treated for his eyes in this hospital, was nowhere to be seen.

Many people know that they are awake, so it is not good for Li Kongrong to close his eyes when Kong Xiangxi comes; And his secretary Zhang Pingqun felt that Vice President Kong came to the hospital twice to offer condolences, and he already looked up to Li Kongrong.

In the ward, at the beckoning of Li Kongrong's adjutant Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong, Kong Xiangxi sat down on the sofa next to the bed, and he first said a word of condolence, and then pressed an envelope in his hand -- this was the air force's condolence money for the accidental bombing of Lieutenant Colonel Li Kongrong's wife and son. Li Kongrong did not know how much money was in the envelope, but he vaguely remembered that the bomb in the Great World was deliberately dropped by an angry young pilot of the Air Force named Lei Tianjun, and it is said that he ruthlessly threw bombs into the Huahua Concession because of his hatred of imperialism, and as a result, more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded.

Li Kongrong wanted to laugh: the government has always carried out anti-imperialist education on national humiliation, but the final result is that the soldiers killed their own unarmed civilians because of their hatred of imperialism - throwing bombs on the heads of the people; Chang Kaishen, who called on everyone to oppose imperialism, bet all his family money in Shanghai in order to obtain imperialist mediation, and then lost everything. I always feel very bitter when I want to laugh but can't laugh, and the injuries on Li Kongrong's body begin to hurt again.

Seeing that Li Kongrong's face had changed greatly, Kong Xiangxi helped his eyes, and had to ask Zhong Qiangong, "Is this ...... You okay? ”

"Report to Mr. Yongzhi, it should be fine." Zhong Qiangong glanced at Li Kongrong a few times, but did not find anything abnormal.

"It's okay, it's okay." Kong Xiangxi laughed dryly. He immediately said: "Hansheng's injury has not healed, he shouldn't be tired, but the country's situation is worrying, I just want to know if there is a chance for a turnaround between China and Japan?" ”

Kong Xiangxi finally asked his own question, and Zhong Qiangong put a pen and paper on the side of the bed. Li Kongrong sighed in his heart and wrote: "If you can win, you will have a chance." ”

"Win the war?" Kong Xiangxi smiled bitterly when he saw the words, if he could win, he would not stay in Europe and not return to China, and now the domestic situation is that he can't win. Less than a month after the start of the war, Pingjin was lost, and then Baoding was about to be lost. The Shanghai side could not persuade them to start a fight, saying that they wanted to 'sweep the whole of Shanghai (Zhang Zhizhong)' to ensure the safety of Beijing and Shanghai.

But now it's been 'sweeping' for so many days, it's 'sweeping' uneven. Not only did it not sweep away the peace, but Japan had already dispatched reinforcements to Shanghai in a hurry, which was tantamount to saying that the war in North China was not over, and Shanghai would have to fight a special battle again, and the national government would fight on both sides. Two days ago, they were counting on Britain to mediate, but the Japanese refused to mediate at all. At this time, Kong Xiangxi remembered Li Kongrong's original report, what the situation would develop, and what the report said was clear, and he really regretted that he did not let people send the report back to China.

"What if I can't win?" Kong Xiangxi had to bite the bullet and ask again, even if Zhong Qiangong was present. "Give up Shanghai?"

Kong Xiangxi's line was a complete failure, and Li Kongrong did not want to provide him with accurate information, so he only wrote in general terms on paper: "Then we can only wait for change." Hold on until Germany goes to war and Japan goes south, and the situation will turn around. ”

This time, the answer was quite in line with Kong Xiangxi's intentions, but he always believed that peace talks with Japan should be held. A full-scale war between China and Japan is tantamount to removing the Soviet Union from the crisis, and China signed the "Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact" with the Soviet Union and took the arms given by the Soviet Union. Change.

"What will happen between China and Germany?" Kong Xiangxi asked again. "Now that we mainly rely on Germany for arms, and the German National Socialist Party is completely pro-Japanese, we are worried that one day Germany will be persuaded by the Japanese government to cut off our source of arms."

"The pro-Chinese faction, that is, the Wehrmacht, must first subdue the Wehrmacht in order to start a war, and the day Marshal Blomburg steps down is the time when China and Germany are at loggerheads. There must be other sources of arms. Li Kongrong wrote with difficulty, this line was so long that his face was a little pale and his head was dizzy after writing.

Reading the last sentence, Kong Xiangxi shook his head and sighed, of course he knew what 'other sources of arms' meant. At this time, Chang Kaishen had also called to ask him about his views on signing a contract with the Soviet Union, but his reply was a mouthful of rejection, believing that this was just a drink to quench his thirst, and that the Sino-Soviet treaty could never be signed -- with the Soviet Union as the rear to fight Japan, no matter whether he won or lost, the Soviet Union won in the end.

"Hansheng have a good rest." Kong Xiangxi, who had something in his heart, saw Li Kongrong's face was not good again, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

Kong Xiangxi was leaving, Li Kongrong immediately looked at Zhong Qiangong, Zhong Qiangong took out an account book, and he said: "Mr. Yongzhi, the chief is unwell now, and the things he was in charge of before will be handed over here." ”

Since he is not confused with Chang Kaishen, Li Kongrong immediately wants to draw a clear line with Kong Xiangxi, the penicillin project is to be handed over, and he will also state that he will not care about the shipwreck. Now Zhong Qiangong is holding the earlier expenses and accounts of the two projects.

Kong Xiangxi, who has a lot of opportunities, naturally would not personally ask about such a trivial matter, and seeing that he was concentrating on refusal, Zhong Qiangong said again: "Mr. Yongzhi, it will take several months for the chief to be discharged from the hospital. Besides, the people who have been discharged from the navy have come, and they are busy with negotiations with Germany, so it is better to hand over the matter at hand first. ”

Glancing at Zhong Qiangong and then at Li Kongrong, Kong Xiangxi finally nodded and asked Zhang Pingqun to take over the accounts, and then he said: "Take care of your illness, don't be too angry." ”

Hearing the words of indignation, Li Kongrong smiled in his heart, he was already angry, and now he wanted to start anew. After Kong Xiangxi left, the ward was quiet, but Li Kongrong, who was supposed to rest, wrote two words in the notebook: 'date'.

"Today is the 20th." Zhong Qiangong took down the calendar at the head of the bed, and the black Arabic numerals read '8.20'. Looking at this date, Li Kongrong couldn't help but think of Shanghai: If history does not change, the Japanese 3rd and 11th divisions will soon land in Xiaochuansha and Lion Forest, I really don't know what preparations Chang Kaishen has made!

Li Kongrong of Berlin was in a daze when he looked at the calendar of 20 August, and Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi, who was at the headquarters of the 9th Army in Shanghai, was also in a daze at the calendar of 20 August -- according to the secret letter sent by the chairman of the committee, the Japanese reinforcements would soon land on the side of the Yangtze River, and once they landed, the plan to besiege the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps would be tantamount to failure. No matter from that point of view, he is unwilling to do this, but time is limited, and he has to be willing if he is unwilling.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizhong rubbed his face vigorously, he couldn't eat or sleep for a week, and he was worried about the war every day, but the chairman of the committee gave several orders to stop the attack. If he had really followed his plan and started the attack on the 12th, without a pause in between, and the air force and artillery could keep up, the Marine Corps headquarters would have been occupied by his own side long ago that day.

Zhang Zhizhong still cared about his previous plan, complained that Chang Kaishen ordered the attack to be suspended, and blamed the air force and artillery for not cooperating - he didn't want to think about what he had done earlier? Do the Air Force and artillery say that it is good to cooperate with each other? From last year to the present, not to mention air-ground coordinated combat training, there has not even been coordinated infantry and artillery training, and training in tackling tough problems is only a formality, and the entire combat plan is completely superficial and has not been implemented at all. However, Zhang Zhizhong didn't study these in detail, he suddenly came up with an idea after rubbing his face, and immediately said: "I'm going to find Du Guangting!" ”
