Obviously, it is not as good as Sun Dacang's grape juice to moisten his throat with boiled water, and after the meeting was adjourned, Chang Kaishen's voice was already hoarse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info In the lounge at the back, after listening to Wang Chonghui's report, he seemed to think of something, and said, "The news is from Li Kongrong?" Is it that Lee Kong-young from the Navy? ”

"Yes, Chairman, it's him." Wang Chonghui had already introduced this naval attache to Chang Kaishen, and he had always had a good impression of such a young military attache who was loyal to the party, patriotic, and had extraordinary ability, but of course his temper was a little worse, so that Jiang Baili called to complain, but after all, he was familiar with German dignitaries. He was invited by Göring to attend an evening at which Goering's cronies said that the current Minister of Defense, Field Marshal von Blomburg, was likely to step down in the near future. Previously, Goering had twice proposed to interrupt the arms trade between China and Germany, but they were all opposed by Field Marshal von Blomburg, Minister Niu Wright, and Minister Shatch. ”

"Is it really that coincidental?!" Chang Kaishen drank boiled water, but he was thinking about another problem—a few months ago, Rokuro Takano had warned Japan that there was a conspiracy going on, and he had sold a file. "Is Marshal von Blomburg married?" Chang Kaishen only remembered the joint of the matter at this time.

"This ......" Wang Chonghui thought for a moment and said: "Yes, the telegram mentioned this, he is going to the Mediterranean Sea for a vacation with his new wife, and Cheng Tianfang thinks that this vacation is a crisis ......"

"Don't say it, I know." Wang Chonghui wanted to say something, but Chang Kaishen waved his hand. Believing Rokuro Takano, he had already decided that the removal of von Blomburg was a German-Japanese conspiracy. It is quite possible that there is some evidence of the Nazis other than the Berlin police department's files.

Seeing that Chang Kaishen had already believed the report of Cheng Tianfang and others, Wang Chonghui said again: "Chairman of the NPC Committee, Berlin has judged that there will be great changes in the German political arena next month, Germany will take further pro-Japanese actions, and the arms trade is likely to be interrupted in a few months, so we should make plans as soon as possible." There are a few general comments from the Berlin side that need to be ......"

"You go and discuss it with Brother Yong." Chang Kaishen interrupted Wang Chonghui's words, Kong Xiangxi has always been responsible for the German arms order, and even the orders he placed were completed through Kong Xiangxi. "What happened to the USSR?" Germany has long considered that it will be unreliable, and now that it has reached this time, it can only count on the Soviet Union.

"Brother Lian is coming to Moscow soon." Wang Chonghui also doesn't know where Sun Ke is now, it's winter, and no one knows whether the Trans-Siberian Railway will be unimpeded and whether there will be delays on the road.

"You should first send the gist of this telegram to the embassy in the Soviet Union and tell him to negotiate with the Soviet side as soon as possible about the arms aid loan." Chang Kaishen said. He had talked to him in detail when Sun Ke left, and now that there is a problem on the German side, then the assistance of the Soviet Union is even more important. "Berlin should not give up, let Cheng Jiashi try his best to harmonize Sino-German relations, delay Germany's closeness to Japan, and find a way to transport more arms out before Germany cuts off and cuts off the arms trade."

"Yes, Chairman." Wang Chonghui once again remembered Chang Kaishen's instructions, and when Chang Kaishen thought that the matter had been discussed, he introduced another topic, "Chairman, there is another guess in Berlin, that is, ...... There is a high probability that the German advisers will be withdrawn by the German government. ”

"What?!" Chang Kaishen was about to put down the glass and go to the meeting, when he heard the news, his mouth suddenly opened wide. This is indeed very likely, since the arms are not sold, it is also very likely that the German military advisers will be withdrawn from the German government. "How can they do this?! These consultants signed us very early and in their personal capacity. ”

Chang Kaishen suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, the arms may be replaced by the Soviet Union, but the military adviser Soviet Union cannot be completely replaced - the Soviet Union and the Communist Party are in the same group, and it is a matter of party-state secrets, how can they know. In the summary report of the meeting just now, some of his remarks actually came from the article of 'railway experts with two blank spaces', which he had read, and except for this person's disrespect for the former prime minister, the rest was very good. His ridicule of Zhang Zhizhong is also realistic, he is not a qualified staff officer in the first place. Zhang Zhizhong's level is like this, which shows that the level of staff officers in the army is worrisome, and if the German military advisers are withdrawn, the situation will be even worse.

Chang Kaishen was aggrieved, Wang Chonghui could only be speechless, China was powerless to prevent the great changes in German politics, and could only accept this result and could not resist. However, he still said: "Let the Berlin side think of a way to see if it can ease the matter." ”

"That's all it can be." Chang Kaishen naturally knows the essence of Sino-German relations, but he can't come up with a way, so he can only agree with Wang Chonghui's opinion and let Berlin be a dead horse doctor.

The telegram from Wuhan was sent to Berlin the next day, and the phone call from Berlin reached Flensburg the next day, but what made Cheng Tian crazy was that Li Kongrong was not in Flensburg. "Where did Colonel Lee go without Flensburg? Lübeck? Cheng Tian crossed his hands and shouted into the microphone angrily and anxiously. He felt that Li Kongrong was really not interesting, since he had found out the problem, he had to think of ways to solve the problem, what was it to hide like this.

"Ambassador Cheng, the chief has already gone to sea, and he said that he wants to practice maneuvering the boat." The officer on duty on the phone was exalted, he didn't know what was going on, "Oh, yes, the chief said that if news came from Berlin, he said that he couldn't do anything about it,"

"Hey! He ......, "Cheng Tianfang is now pressed by the domestic order, if he can't do it, he will definitely make Chang Kaishen unhappy." "How is he ......, when will he be back?"

"Ambassador Cheng, maybe it will take at least half a month to go to sea." Holding the last sentence high made Cheng Tian so angry that he hung up the phone, he hated Li Kongrong to death, and after half a month, the daylily was cold.

The cold wind in the Baltic Sea is grinning, and a fishing boat of more than 100 tons is moored alone on the rough waves. In China, Li Kongrong has been on the ship several times, but it was at night, and the time was very short, and he had never stayed on the ship all day like now, and he had never had it in his life. The sea was cold and choppy, but the cabin was much better, but not much better, and after the novelty of the first two days wore off, he only found the voyage boring.

“！ (Prepare for it!) "It was Lin Zhun who went to sea with Li Kongrong, who not only helped rent a boat, but also volunteered to help Li Kongrong review his sailing course, probably to reflect the formality, and the passwords were all in English.

“！ (Prepare for it!) Li Kongrong repeated the order, ringing the bell and giving orders to the engine room through a virtual microphone.

“！ (Slow ahead!) After the engine room confirmed that the main engine was ready, Lin Zhun said again.

“！ (Slow ahead!) Li Kongrong repeated, and with his command, the stopped boat finally began to move forward slightly. Captain Jameson, who had been dozing off in the cockpit, was woken up by the bell, only raised his eyelids for a moment, and then fell asleep again. For him, as long as the ship does not capsize and the money is sufficient, the ship can be tossed by these Chinese.

“！ (Half-speed forward!) Lin Zhun, who acted as the captain, ordered again.

“！ (Half-speed forward!) Li Kongrong repeated the order, and the boat quickly broke the waves.

“！ (Left Rudder 5!) Lin Zhun began to give the rudder order.

“！ (Left Rudder 5!) Li Kongrong repeated, but the strange thing is that the rudder did not respond when he steered.

“！ (Rudder no response immediately report!) Lin Zhun turned to look at Li Kongrong.

"report, the.whee......" Li Kongrong tried hard to steer the rudder, but the rudder just didn't respond. He was anxious when the old captain Jameson, who had woken up, stretched out his big hand, and when he couldn't handle it, he immediately turned the rudder to the right, then to the left, and finally he didn't move and went straight to an iron rod ......, and finally, the rudder began to turn. He looked at the stunned Li Kongrong and Lin Zhun and threw the iron rod with a 'clang', clapped his hands and said, "Girls, you should use some force." ”

One sentence of the girl made Li Kongrong's face red, but fortunately, his next sentence made Li Kongrong less ashamed: "Now the sea is very cold, and sometimes the rudder will be frozen, so you have to work hard." ”

"Thank you!" Li Kongrong said to the owner of the ship embarrassedly, he suddenly felt that he should really practice more at sea, and the book will not teach you to use an iron rod to pry directly.

"This ship is so broken! Let's move on. "Lin Zhun didn't think this was any kind of experience, the rudder of a warship was different from a fishing boat, and besides, he found this dilapidated ship in order to save money." …… (Back to 5...... ）”

"Boating is a matter of practice making perfect." During the meal, Lin Zhun said his experience, "Isn't this the same as you driving, but it's bigger, it's nothing great." ”

"But you don't have two engines to drive." Li Kongrong is talking about the two orders, now he is still a beginner, Lin Zhun said are some simple things, what he feels most troublesome is that the ship has two sides, each has a full speed and half speed, etc., any combination has a change, plus the rudder order, which makes driving very complicated. In addition, there are wind speed, flow speed, hull attitude, etc., these factors are added, and driving is like playing Go, which is a bit varied.

"You can memorize it first, then it after you memorize it, and then think about it after you finish." Lin Zhun said his mental method, "When I was in school before, we all studied for two years before getting on the boat, and even if we got on the boat, we could only look at it and not touch it. At that time, I could only dream of sailing. I think that with Brother Hansheng's understanding, I can learn it in three months. It's just that learning is finishing, and it takes a year to be familiar with it, and it takes a year or two to be perfect. ”

"Don't encourage me if you obey it, I think I just can't finish learning in half a year, so I can only make up for it." Seeing that Lin Zhun overestimated himself, Li Kongrong immediately laughed, he knew his ability, that is, he was very slow to learn things, and it was also slow to forget things, the trick to good memory was here, and the reason for being stupid was also here.

"I'm afraid it's more than half a year......" Lin Zhun obviously thought of another thing when Li Kongrong laughed - Li Kongrong had roughly told him about the matter between China and Germany, and since that day on, Lin Zhun has been worried about the two submarines under construction at the Lübeck shipyard. Brother Hansheng, do you think Lübeck can go into the water in August? ”

"What are you worried about?" Li Kongrong smiled, in fact, the situation on Lübeck's side is not optimistic, and after Christmas, there will be half less workers in the dock. After the superintendent Colonel Wang Zhiguang negotiated with the shipyard, the shipyard meant that the steel plate was insufficient, and the delivery of the steel plant was delayed. This is very indicative of the attitude, next month is the time for Dönitz to deliver the training submarine, will he still keep his promise?

"How can I not be worried!" Lin Zhun immediately stood up, "We have suffered so much here and spent so much money, isn't it just to pick up the ship and return home to fight the Japanese?" If the Germans don't deliver the ship, won't we be ...... Isn't it a bamboo basket for water! Ay! Brother Hansheng, aren't you very familiar with Germany, why can't you think of a way? ”

"There's really no way to think of this kind of thing!" Li Kongrong was also helpless, "I have already sent a letter to Mr. Yongzhi, hoping that he can dig more tungsten ore, and then wait for Germany to interrupt the arms deal with our country and deliver thousands of tons of tungsten ore to Germany at one time, this is the only way, I hope the Germans can agree." ”

"What if the Germans don't agree?" Lin Zhun stared at Li Kongrong chasing, he still didn't know the importance of tungsten to Germany.

"They will agree, Germany needs tungsten. They need tungsten to make tungsten carbide knives, they need tungsten to make armor-piercing bullets, these are all closely related to the war, they abandoned us to get close to Japan, didn't they just start a war against the Soviet Union? ”

"But if the Japanese occupy our place, won't they be able to dig tungsten ore for them?" Lin Zhun was reluctant to hope to come to naught, and continued to study the idea of exchanging tungsten ore for submarines and ships.

"The Japanese have to dig Jiangxi and Hunan to dig our tungsten mines, and they are still far from there." Li Kongrong said.

"But if it'......" Lin Zhun is not familiar with tungsten ore after all, he can't say any other reason, so he is worried that this solution will not work. Why do I always think it's not safe, what if it doesn't work? ”

"In case it doesn't work out......" Li Kongrong has also been thinking about this possibility. According to history, Germany did not deliver ships, and the number of German submarines before the start of World War II was limited, in case Dönitz requisitioned these two foreign trade submarines with inferior performance. "There's a foolproof solution...... he concluded.

"What's the solution?" Lin Zhun asked.

"Steal it out!" Li Kongrong looked at him and smiled, as if he was joking and as if he was taking it seriously.

"Steal it?" Lin Zhun was stunned for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Don't say anything else, what if you can't steal it and get caught?" ”

"Since we've all been caught, are we still worried about when the submarine will be handed over for what? It's better to worry about when you'll be released from prison. Li Kongrong did not get his approval, and immediately turned this method into a joke. (To be continued.) )
