The performance parameters of submarines, the price and duration of shipyards, and the training courses of submarine schools, the latter is the most important in Li Kongrong's opinion, after all, he has long known the former. But in the view of Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong, who often translates German weapons and equipment, performance is the most important thing, and if a submarine that is not suitable or backward in performance is procured, it will be fatal.

It may not be unreasonable for him to think so, but the problem is that most of the army weapons can be purchased, and not only one can be bought and sold, and the performance comparison is extremely important, but the submarine is in the current situation, it must be Germany, and other countries will not have the money to buy it even if they will sell it. Moreover, Li Kongrong had long been familiar with the approximate performance parameters of German boats, and he was worried that the Germans would not sell them and would not worry about buying defective products.

Since the night in Hamburg, the two of them have changed their schedules, and the two get up in the middle of the night every day to discuss the specific actions of the day, and then go back to sleep again, and the next day at dawn they observe the German military port or submarine school as planned, and in the afternoon, Zhong Qiangong will drive around the school and the port, and go to bed after eating after dark.

After the initial enthusiasm faded, Li Kongrong felt that it was not a wise move to kidnap the German navy, in case something happened, such as accidentally slaughtering the Germans, not to mention whether the Gestapo could find him, and the country would also transfer him out of Germany when he learned of it. There is also a submarine school to steal courses is not very feasible, and if you are caught, it is an act of espionage, and you will be deported and repatriated. Major Li finally came to Germany to learn submarines, how could he be driven back like this.

In the sunrise and sunset, time passed day by day, looking at the calendar on the wall that had passed the 12th, Li Kongrong was worried that he would not be able to obtain more information before the delegation went to Germany, and the news from Berlin gave him some hope - Zhou Yingcong, who estimated that the delegation would not be able to arrive in Germany this month, sent him a telegram, saying that he wanted him to receive the ten students from China, who would arrive at the end of the month; And Kong Lingyi, who participated in the coronation ceremony of the British king, also had a rare call, saying that she would come to Germany to treat his eyes before her father in a few days, and she also joked that she would never force him to drink whiskey, let alone pour him down.

For now, Li Kongrong is extremely satisfied with his body, but the most regrettable point is that he can't drink alcohol as a man. Kong Lingyi's joke hit his man's self-confidence, thinking that he couldn't drink a woman, it was really a wretch.

Li Kongrong was ashamed of his drinking, and Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong, who saw the telegram, glanced at his commander with some envy (not only Mr. Kong Yongzhi's adjutant, but also has a close relationship with Miss Kong, this is a prelude to being promoted and developed, no wonder the chief is so desperate to engage in intelligence), and then began to scratch his head, Kiel's matter is not over, but the chief is going to Berlin to pick up Miss Kong to accompany her to see a doctor. It's a total of 700 kilometers back and forth, and although Germany has convenient transportation, things always have to be delayed.

"Sir, how is this good?" In the middle of the night, after discussing the plan for the next day's observation, Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong asked.

"What else can I do," Li Kongrong really didn't expect Kong Lingyi to come to Germany to see a doctor and pull herself, doesn't she have so many girls. "You continue to observe, I will go back to Berlin to receive Miss Kong, and I will rush back as soon as she is settled."

"Understood." Zhong Qiangong seemed to be smiling, he felt in his heart that Li Kongrong was afraid that he would not be able to come back.

Li Kongrong didn't see the smile of Zhong Qiangong, the Hubei Yankee nine-headed bird, he was still entangled in how to get the submarine training course. Whether he is or Major Li Kongrong, these two rural leopards who have never seen a real submarine attach great importance to this thing. On 17 May, the day before Major Li Kongrong was to leave for Berlin, a turning point occurred.

"What's that?" Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong, who had been observing the submarine school attentively, suddenly pointed in another direction and said in surprise. Following the direction he pointed, Major Li Kongrong also looked over - the main street near the harbor was now facing the rising sun, and the major noticed that something was shining there.

"It seems to be...... Something reflective. Li Kongrong said subconsciously, but after a while, he woke up to the fact that it was the hotel that the old sailor Lin Rugui said he couldn't go to. Now it's good that some prey jumped into the trap of the Germans.

"It's supposed to be a reflection of a telescope." This was also confirmed by Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong. The reason why I only observe in the morning is because I am worried about the reflection caused by the direct sun, and I don't want the secret service on the other side to be so careless.

"Hmm!" Major Li Kongrong's telescope was silent for a long time, and finally decided, "I should go and meet this person!" ”

"Will it be?" Zhong Qiangong was taken aback, and he didn't know which country's agent it was, so the chief said that he was going to the meeting.

"Of course it will." Major Li Kongrong said. "I'll send a telegram to the embassy in Berlin and delay my return for a day or two."

"Sir, is this appropriate?" Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong was still puzzled, and he thought it was very dangerous to contact the agents of other countries.

"Of course it is." Major Li Kongrong nodded. "We can't see anything here for a year, Cao Akun picks up garbage over there, that's a matter of luck, and we can't get any valuable information in a year or two. But we don't have submarines, and other countries have submarines. If we can exchange information, many things can be solved. ”

After Li Kongrong finished speaking, Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong only felt that the commander was whimsical, after all, he didn't have too valuable information in his hands, how could he exchange it with the agents of other countries? The Major didn't explain this, he believed that the other self had something good in his hands. "Go down and let Cao Akun find Lin Rugui." He finally commanded.

Half an hour later, Lin Rugui arrived. After he sat down and lit a dry tobacco pouch, Major Li Kongrong said, "I asked Brother Lin to come this time to ask Brother Lin to help find someone." After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Rugui nodding, so he continued: "Last time, Brother Lin said that the hotel in the port was a trap, and now someone has fallen into it, I mean to go and see what kind of person this is, as long as it is not Japanese, we can contact him and rescue him before he is arrested by the German police." ”

Major Li Kongrong said it mysteriously, but Lin Rugui understood what he meant. He smoked several cigarettes before he spoke, and the content surprised Li Kongrong and Zhong Qiangong: "This thing is okay." That is, in case of death, is there a bereavement pension? ”

Probably thinking that he scared the two chiefs by asking for money as soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Rugui's old face was a little hot, and he said: "The family is all waiting to send money here, in case someone dies ......, there must be a bereavement pension." Not more, one or two hundred marks will always be ......"

"I know!" The Major interrupted him, agreeing in his heart. Sailors who sailed across the ocean to Germany to beg for a living were to send money back to China to support their families. He thought of the wartime pension for a first-class soldier, and he didn't calculate the exchange rate, so he said: "If someone dies, I will give a pension of 100 yuan in national currency first, and I will also apply to the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Military Affairs for the families of martyrs, and if I can apply for it, I will have a pension of 50 yuan in national currency every year in the future." ”

The conditions are so generous that Lin Rugui, an old sailor, is dumbfounded, of course he knows what the martyrs are, it is said that many of them are martyrs in Shengzhou, and the families have pensions every year, and their children are also given preferential treatment when they are admitted to schools. He put down the dry tobacco pouch in his hand and said, "Then follow the orders of the chief, I, Lin Rugui, will find someone to ensure that everyone is used." ”

"There's no hurry." Li Kongrong was relieved to see that he was willing to cooperate. "We don't know how to save people yet. In fact, saving people does not mean that they will die, the key is to plan properly. ”

"You can go and inquire about the situation first." Zhong Qiangong saw that the chief insisted on going to the trap to catch people, and he also began to cooperate.

"Yes. Find a way to inquire about the situation first. "Major Li Kongrong is completely in favor." If the other party is Japanese, then leave it alone. ”

said that in case the other party was Japanese, Zhong Qiangong suddenly smiled. According to the reports of the students of the electric mine school, the Germans were most wary of the Japanese, and often followed them wherever they went, worrying that they would steal intelligence and secrets, but they were relieved to the Chinese, probably knowing that they could not read and understand, and the level was too inferior.

"It's easy to inquire about the situation. The bedding of that inn was also washed with the help of our compatriots. In the past, the two stores grabbed business, and I came forward to make peace. Lin Rugui's dry tobacco pouch smoked again.

"So our people can get into the inn?" Unexpectedly, the old sailor was so powerful, and Li Kongrong also began to follow him and say that the inn was not a hotel.

"Hmm. When you change the bed, you can go into the corridor to collect it, but you can't enter the room, saying that you are afraid of stealing things. Lin Rugui explained. I'll tell [them] to take a look when they go in......"

"Don't confess." The Major shook his head, "Just take us to collect it." ”

His words surprised Lin Rugui and Zhong Qiangong, of course it was good to go by yourself, but it would be bad if something happened. Zhong Qiangong said: "Let's go, I'm older." The chief's skin is too tender, not like he was born in a bitter family. ”

"I'm soft-skinned?" The major touched his face meaningfully, and after smiling, he felt that this was just to investigate the situation, there was really no need for two people to go together, and there was no danger besides, who would care that a few laundry workers who collected sheets were changed. "Alright then, you can go, but be careful. If you find out which country it is, come back and don't come into contact with him. ”

"Xia Guan understands." Zhong Qiangong smiled, and the cigarette in his hand was being snuffed out by him.

The next day, Zhong Qiangong put on the clothes of the laundry, and after calling the laundry at the hotel named Christine, he went with the laundry owner to collect the sheets and quilts to be washed. And Li Kongrong struggled to get up after the major took a small half of the sleeping pill, this is the second time he has come out during the day, and the most important reason for coming out to do activities is that he can drive, but the major can't--if something happens, Li Kongrong, a driver with inaccurate marksmanship, must be more effective than the marine engineer.

The hotel is located on the pedestrian street of the coastal wall, which is directly opposite the narrow and long inlet of the Swenting River, and it is easy to stand on the roof of the hotel not only to observe the submarine school with the anti-submarine school sign on the other side of the bay, but also to see the entire Germania shipyard.

What a good trap! On the side of the road near the hotel, Li Kongrong, who was sitting in the cab of the Ford Model A, couldn't help but admire. Then he was very glad that if it weren't for Lin Rugui's reminder, he was afraid that he would have been caught by the Gestapo and then sent back to China.

'Click, click, click, boom, ......' he was very excited when he thought of this, and as soon as he twisted the car key, the car began to ignite. Unexpectedly, Ford's big road goods were also ignited by the battery after improvement, and when he saw that the car was actually started by himself, he unconsciously laughed again. This car was driven from Hamburg, 90 kilometers away, and was given by Hu Lijian's old fellow, I really don't know if it was a black car, but of course it was more likely to be a smuggling car -- Hamburg is the largest commercial port in Germany, and as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be obtained.

Li Kongrong was thinking nonsense in the car, and after observing the uncertain pedestrians on the street and a few disguises that seemed to be surveillance posts, a lot of 007 plots popped up in his mind, but 007 has beautiful women, he has been in Germany for so long and lonely every day, and he woke up in the middle of the night but couldn't find a woman. It's not that he can't find it, there are prostitutes on Concord Road and Chandihou Avenue as commercial streets, but he still doesn't feel safe, besides, he has a wife.

Thinking of his little wife, his head stuffed with messy things finally calmed down, and he and Xu Peipei's wedding photos were in his hands again. Looking at the photo, he suddenly remembered that there were probably several letters she had written, and he could see them when he returned to Berlin, and his heart was really hot. Who would have thought that he, who has long been accustomed to EMAIL, QQ, and mobile phones, is so looking forward to postal letters.

An hour later, seeing Zhong Qiangong, dressed as a laundryman, walking out of the back door of the hotel with a few bags of things, Li Kongrong put the photo back in his arms and hurriedly started the car to rush to the meeting place. He waited there for a while, and Zhong Qiangong, who had changed his clothes, arrived.

"How's it going?" Li Kongrong's eyes sparkled, and he hoped that person was not Japanese.

"It's British." Zhong Qiangong sat down and whispered. It's a café with few people, and the two talk in Chinese, which is not too noticeable.

"British?" Li Kongrong smiled, and he asked, "Are you sure?" How do you know? ”

"I went up to the third floor to collect the sheets, and when I saw a guy on the fourth floor, I deliberately hit him, and he fell to the ground and said in English: 'Oh! MY，GOD’。 Zhong Qiangong smiled, "The accent is British." ”

"But he may not live alone on the fourth floor!" Although Li Kongrong was satisfied with Zhong Qiangong's wit, he was worried that he had made the wrong person.

"The owner of the laundry said that the hotel was not doing well, and that he only collected quilt sheets twice a week, and even more so on the fourth floor - when we collected quilt sheets, we were standing in the hallway, and the waiter threw out the things to be changed, and he said that he rarely went up to the fourth floor, and it was rare to go back once a month." Zhong Qiangong explained his inference, and then said, "So I judge that this person is the one who took the telescope yesterday." ”

"It's not very flat on the streets." After Zhong Qiangong finished talking about what happened in the hotel, Li Kongrong began to talk about what he had just seen in the car. "I saw that there were surveillance posts in several places in front of the hotel, and a few people with newspapers and nothing to do, I am afraid they were all Gestapo."
