Chapter 21 Yellow Mountain

The Scharnhorst disappeared into the South China Sea, but little was of interest to the ship except for a few merchant ships that recorded its S0S signal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Instead, the capture of the Gnaizenau by the Chinese Navy's Jiankang caused an uproar - the British Royal Navy, which rushed to the scene, stood by and claimed that the Chinese Navy was conducting a legitimate operation, and then accompanied the Jiankang to escort the Gnaizenau to A Coruña, Spain, for inspection.

The Gneizenau did not intend to go to Yokohama, it only intended to go to Italy, but the destination on the bill of lading was Yokohama, and the sulfur and pig iron on the ship exceeded half of the regulations, Lieutenant Colonel Qi Cuiying immediately announced the confiscation of the cruise ship, and then quickly escorted the cruise ship away from A Coruña.

The British added fuel to the whole thing, they provided everything for Qi Cuiying, and the cruise ship began to inspect the cargo on board and arrange for passengers and crew to disembark before even entering port. Upon learning of this, the Chinese chargé d'affaires in Spain, Liu Yujun, sent a series of telegrams to A Coruña, but Lieutenant Commander Qi Cuiying, the captain of the Jiankang, did not obey the instructions and sailed out of the port.

Deportivo La Coruna is south of the English Channel, more than 800 nautical miles from the German mainland, and nearly 10,000 nautical miles from China, the German Navy will definitely be able to recapture the cruise ship by pursuing the Jiankang, but the strange thing is that the German Navy did not send warships to pursue, but the Italian Navy sent two destroyers to make a symbolic pursuit - the capture of the Gneizenau was obviously a litmus test, and the German Navy's move made Britain and France confirm that Hitler did not want to solve the German problem of Danzig and Poland at the negotiating table, and war was imminent.

Li Kongrong never imagined afterwards that what he thought was unlikely would happen in such a delicate political situation, and it would be the best outcome, and he was extremely happy about it, but in the same continent, some people were very unhappy.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!! In the office on the second floor of the Huangshan Mansion, Chang Kaishen's eyes were red and crazy, he waved his two hands vigorously, and the pen in his hand was thrown against the opposite wall. He asked loudly in Ningbo dialect: "Do they still have this government in their eyes?!" And is there a party-state?! Is there still me as the chairman?!! ”

The leader's face contorted, and he slammed his fist one last time from the top of his head to the floor, and then he announced loudly: "I want to abolish the navy, abolish the navy, revoke the navy, revoke the navy ......; I'm going to shoot them, shoot them, shoot them, shoot them......"

The foreign minister Wang Chonghui standing in front of him was stunned by the leader's anger, he wanted to say that the navy did nothing wrong in this matter according to the law, but fortunately, this sentence did not come out, and the actual situation did not allow him to say it - this matter was only halfway reported, Chang Kaishen's anger began to attack, and began to gush endlessly, in the scolding, Wang Chonghui only understood that the leader was accusing the Fujian Yankees of doing anything for their own selfishness, and their actions were treason and betrayal of the party! They should all be pulled and shot!!

The leader's anger soared into the sky, and even the mist over Chongqing was reopened, and a group of Japanese bombers took advantage of the gap after an hour, and even so, Chang Kaishen cursed in his office and was unwilling to go to the bomb shelter. However, the bombing also calmed him down, and he quickly summoned He Yingqin, Xu Yongchang and others to a meeting, the purpose of which was to deal with the treacherous navy.

He Yingqin, who is known as He Mother-in-law, still has the previous view, claiming that the abolition of the navy will make the navy unstable, and most people will defect to Chen Jiliang and Lin Xianxin at that time. Xu Yongchang believed that the navy should be abolished immediately to set an example, otherwise other factions would follow suit, and when the time came, everyone would not obey the central government, and the war of resistance would not be maintained. During the two-hour meeting in the bomb shelter, the bombing over Chongqing quickly ended, but Ambassador to China Tao Deman, who had received a domestic instruction, came to ask for a meeting.

"Mr. Ambassador, I already know about the cruise ship Gneizenau, and I have decided to abolish the Admiralty and arrest all those involved in this matter, but this matter was carried out by the Navy in the name of legality, and it is directed against Japan, so I cannot publicly apologize to your government for the time being......"

Before Todman could speak, Chang Kaishen first stated his position with a sincere attitude, but before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Todman, "Your Excellency, I think we are talking about not only the cruise ship Gneizenau, but also the cruise ship Scharnholt and the submarine that disappeared in the Baltic Sea a few months ago are also within the strong protest of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

"The Scharnhult cruise ship and a submarine...... Chang Kaishen didn't expect that there would be a cruise ship and a submarine. Seeing that the leader was a little confused, Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui, who was standing on the side, immediately whispered: "The submarine is the one that Li Hansheng drove away four months ago; The Scharnholt is the sister ship of the Gneizenau, which is also a cruise ship of the North Deutsche Lloyds AG and is responsible for the Far East route. ”

"What happened to the cruises?" Chang Kaishen was still puzzled.

"Mr. Ambassador, since last year, traitors in the Navy have been acting on their own against the orders of the Supreme Military Council, and we have no idea what they have done." Wang Chonghui explained apologetically, "Mr. Ambassador, may I ask what happened to the Scharnhult cruise ship?" And that submarine? ”

"The submarine that disappeared in the Baltic Sea in April intercepted our cruise ship Scharnhott in the South China Sea four days ago, as she was about to sail to the port of Manila. According to the rescued passengers, the submarine fired a torpedo that damaged the cruise ship, and the captured cruise ship drove her away from the area. The cruise ship is now missing, as are more than 260 crew members and more than 300 passengers. "Taudemann received a report from Manila, which the rescued passengers revealed to German diplomats and journalists. If you want to sum it up in one sentence: it is that the Chinese Navy robbed a German cruise ship with a stolen German submarine.

"Is this true?" After listening to the German ambassador's description, Chang Kaishen was so angry that his tunic was trembling, and he stood up from his desk and bowed deeply to Todman: "I dare to be very sorry and sorry for this. My Government will make every effort to properly resolve this matter and compensate your country for all its losses. ”

Chang Kaishen's sincerity made Taodeman helpless. He knew that there was only a nominal leader of the country standing in front of him, and that many people did not obey him, and he knew something about the situation in the navy and the submarine incident in April, which was certainly not a plan of the Chinese government, let alone the instruction of the Chinese government, but was only the work of a group of radical 'anti-Japanese elements'.

"Your Excellency, as long as the safety of the passengers can be guaranteed, then this matter should be resolved commercially, and the North German Lloyds company will file a claim for compensation, but the submarine should be returned to our country immediately." Todman said the instructions from China, which made him think that the telegram had been sent by mistake, but his confusion was quickly dispelled by Song Meiling.

"Sir, Madam, please ...... if you have something" Song Meiling's secretary appeared at the door, and even showed half of Song Meiling's face, Chang Kaishen had to leave the office after apologizing.

"Darlene, Germany launched a war against Poland yesterday." Song Meiling was standing next to Dai Li. Dai Li came very early, and when he heard that Chang Kaishen was meeting with the German ambassador, he had to find Song Meiling.

"What?" Chang Kaishen's gaze shifted from his wife's face to Dai Li's face. "Is the news true?"

"Report to the principal, that's totally true." Seeing Chang Kaishen staring at him, Dai Li immediately stood upright, and his loudness made Chang Kaishen very dissatisfied, after all, the German was in the office.

"If Mr. Takano's intelligence is correct, Germany will occupy all of Poland." Song Meiling whispered a message from Rokuro Takano, who claimed that it was sent back to China by the Japanese Embassy in Germany. "Britain and France would certainly declare war on Germany because of this."

"I see, I know." Chang Kaishen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he understood why the Germans were going to keep a low profile about the cruise. "The German ambassador is inside, I'll finish talking to him first."

With the great changes in Europe, Germany's attack on Poland, and the imminent declaration of war on Germany by Britain and France, Chang Kaishen's first reaction was that Germany was isolated in Europe, and he needed friends more than before. With this thought, he found a trace of sustenance in the face of Todman, but when Todman left, he found another problem: why was the Navy's action so appropriate?

"Rector, the initiator of the naval reconstruction plan is the former Navy Colonel Li Hansheng, who has been in Germany for many years and has made friends with German dignitaries, so it is impossible for him not to know the news inside Germany." Dai Li said that he had heard the news from Tang Zong, "but this person is missing now, and the Germans say that he ......."

"He's not missing, he's coming back, he appeared in the South China Sea three days ago, and the submarine." Chang Kaishen said thoughtfully what Todman had told, but his heart was mixed - God forbid, China finally has a submarine.

"Really?!" Dai Li's body was shocked. He had never been to Germany, and he admired Germany but had no intimacy, and when he heard that the navy dared to steal German submarines, he was shocked with some admiration, but it was a pity that these people did not plan well and buried their bones in the Baltic Sea. Only now do I know that these people really drove the submarine back.

"What really? This is what the Germans said. Three days ago they torpedoed a German cruise ship, and now it is missing. Thinking of the navy's disobedience to military orders and disregard for the overall situation, some emotion in Chang Kaishen's heart turned into anger again.

"Yes, Headmaster." Dai Li said, "I will do everything I can to find them, and then bring Li Hansheng back." ”

"What did you bring back for?" Chang Kaishen looked at him very dissatisfied. Since the submarine has come to China, of course, it is impossible to send it back to Germany - the government has already compensated the Germans with tungsten sand for the sky-high losses. "You find him first and see if he still has the party-state in his heart? Is there still a leader? If he still believes in the Three People's Principles and still cherishes the party-state, the crime of treason is not unforgivable, it depends on the situation on the German side, but there will always be a chance to drop. He can be so bold and brave, and he will definitely use it in the future. ”

"Yes, Headmaster." Dai Li instantly understood what the leader meant, and admired it.

"But the General Command of the Navy can no longer be preserved." After saying Li Hansheng, Chang Kaishen's eyes turned cold, "The navy can do so many things, Li Hansheng alone can't be the master, the key is Chen Shiying and Lin Xiangxin in New York." Chen Shiying's reputation is not counted, but Lin Xiangxin is a ......, didn't you say that the Navy's activities in the United States were all actually presided over by him?! ”

The last sentence became heavier in vain, and Dai Li, who understood it, immediately nodded and said, "Principal, I understand, I'll arrange it when I go back." ”

"Where, after all, is the United States." Chang Kaishen nodded, he turned to the desk with his hand and reminded him again, the tunic was straight.

"Yes, Headmaster, the students are sure to be foolproof." Dai Li's head was lowered, but he was sketching out the assassination plan in his mind.

"Okay, you go out." At this time, Chang Kaishen was already sitting under the portrait of Sun Yat-sen's first officer, and he had become an upright national leader.

Cracking down on the upper strata and co-opting and bribing the middle strata is Chang Kaishen's consistent method, and the only way to do this is that the Whampoa system is invincible, and the only way to eat is where the Communist Party is, but the Fujian Navy is not the Communist Party after all. Dai Li is confident about this assassination, but he can't make up his mind about finding the submarine, where to find it in the vast sea?

"What does Mr. Fei think?" On the sixth floor of the Chater Daw Dow Ho Hotel in Central, Hong Kong, Xu Peipei smiled at Fei Mu, who had finished reading the script, and asked Fei Mu that Fei Mu had been invited to Hong Kong by a telegram from her, and the content of the telegram was to shoot a movie worth 100,000 yuan.

"This ......" Fei Mu gently put down the script in his hand, and he also smiled, "Miss Xu, I'm afraid this can't be filmed for 100,000 yuan, right?" ”

"It's really not 100,000 yuan that can be filmed." Xu Peipei slowly stirred the coffee in the cup, completely agreeing with Fei Mu's judgment, "But if I said in the telegram that I was going to make a movie with an investment of 20 million national dollars, Mr. Fei probably wouldn't come." ”

"Speculation of 20 million national dollars?!" Fei Mu's glasses almost fell into his coffee cup. He then got up and said, "Miss Xu, the investment in the movie is huge, and Fei feels that he can't shoot it well, so let's ask another Gao Ming......

"Mr. Fei," Xu Peipei put down her coffee, "can you please sit down?" ”

Someone invested 20 million national dollars to make a movie by himself, but Fei Mu not only didn't believe it, but also intuitively felt that this was some kind of conspiracy. He had a good impression of Xu Peipei, but she suddenly told herself that she wanted to shoot a movie with an investment of 20 million national dollars, which made him want to leave immediately and stay away.

"Mr. Fei, 20 million national dollars is only 2 million US dollars, and the Gone with the Wind in the United States will be filmed this year, with a total investment of more than 3 million US dollars." Xu Peipei took out a photo, "This is the original photo of the contract of the company that was going to make this film to invest in Gone with the Wind last year." Now that Gone with the Wind is finished, they judge that the movie will grossing more than $100 million at the box office after its release, which gives them the idea of investing in a big-budget movie on their own, which will be released in the United States instead of China, and they think they will definitely make back their investment.
