Because of its proximity to the Baltic Sea, Neustadt in February is still cold, but compared with the previous two months, the temperature is rising, the sun rises during the day, about three or four degrees, and the coldest at night is minus five or six degrees, which is much better than Florence in December, where the snow is knee-high.

A 600-ton ocean-going submarine would normally have four officers in the crew of the German submarine force: the captain, the deputy captain, the second duty officer, and the chief engineer.

In addition to assisting the captain in managing the crew and taking over command in the event of the captain's illness or death, the deputy captain is also responsible for the operation of weapons and observation systems, so he is also known as the chief duty officer. The duties of the second duty officer are basically the same as those of the deputy captain, and his existence is to make it easier for the submarine to go to sea to fight in three shifts, and the captain, deputy captain, and second duty officer take turns to be on duty. Of course, in an engagement, the captain will naturally take over the command. The chief engineer, who is the chief engineer of the boat, is responsible for the maintenance and overhaul of all mechanical equipment on the boat, including the engine, motor, battery pack, etc., and even the self-destruction operation of the submarine in an emergency.

This is true for officers, and non-commissioned officers are generally divided into senior sergeant major and sergeant major. The senior sergeant major is basically composed of four people: navigation officer, senior boatswain, diesel engine sergeant major, and electrical sergeant major, these four people are responsible for the core work of submarine operation, and the submarine must sail normally, these four people are indispensable; The sergeant major generally has five positions: helmsman, torpedo mechanic, motor mechanic, radio operator (and sonar man), and boatswain, and each post is arranged with two to three people on duty, and the number of people is generally ten to fifteen.

Except for the four officers, four senior sergeant majors, and ten to fifteen sergeant majors, the rest of the people are sailors, some of them are responsible for torpedoes, some are responsible for deck guns, some are responsible for conning towers or deck watchouts, and some handle submarine housekeeping such as drinking water, cooking, .......

If three sergeant majors are assigned to each post, then there are a total of 23 officers and non-commissioned officers in the entire submarine, and two ships are 46 people, which is almost the same as the personnel now stationed in Germany, but after all, there are two ships, and how to distribute the personnel is a problem. And after that deep conversation at sea, Li Kongrong had to choose some people who might follow him to arrange on his side.

"Brother Hansheng, let's pick first." The list was full of names according to positions and qualifications, and Lin Zhun knew that Li Kongrong had no choice but to take risks, so he asked Li Kongrong to pick first.

"I ......" Li Kongrong was not polite, he directly circled his name on the paper, and the first circle he circled was his classmate Su Jinghu, who was born in an engineer, and will naturally be his chief engineer in the future; Then there is Chen Ergong, who is also from the engine engine, he is the twelfth graduate of the wheel tube, one year later than himself, he will be the diesel engine sergeant, and then Cheng Jing, the fourteenth graduate of the wheel tube, the motor sergeant.

Lin Zhun was originally kind-hearted, but it can be seen that Li Kongrong picked out all the three most experienced chief engineers, leaving only a bunch of sea school cadets for himself, and suddenly had some opinions, "Can't you leave Chen Ergong to me, I also want the chief engineer?" ”

"Do you need it?" Li Kongrong smiled and despised him. "If the Germans are willing to deliver the ship, then naturally give it to you."

When he said this, Lin Zhun felt that it was right, if the Germans did not hand over the ship, it would be useless for him to ask for Chen Ergong. After Li Kongrong smiled, he began to choose the deputy captain and the second duty officer, but in fact, the only people who could be selected were Gong Dongli, Xue Kuiguang, Chen Qingjia, Liu Yongren, Gao Ju, and Chen Zhaodi, who were transferred from Italy; Lang Jiancheng, Han Zhaolin, and Huang Tingshu, who were waiting for orders in the Netherlands; and Gao Guangyou, Chen Cuichang, Lin Xiangguang, and Cheng Fakan from China.

Lang Jiancheng, who came from the Netherlands, had married Liang Zi at the beginning, and Li Kongrong didn't have a deep relationship with them after that, and they didn't talk much with Li Kongrong, they were only close to Lin Zhun, so he didn't want these three. The remaining ten people, Gao Guangyou graduated in 1924, and the others graduated after 1927, plus the majors are different, Li Kongrong doesn't know much at all, the only thing he remembers is that Gao Guangyou's second brother Gao Guangqu died in Jiangyin, and he graduated early, so he was selected as the deputy captain, but the second duty officer was a little undecided.

"How is Xue Kuiguang?" Lin Zhun saw that he was embarrassed, and immediately recommended Xue Kuiguang with a smile - if Li Kongrong married the eleventh sister of the Zeng family, the two would be brothers-in-law, and they would be regarded as their own people, and Xue Kuiguang was also very enthusiastic about this matter.

"This ......" Li Kongrong really didn't know what to say, he hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, the second duty officer is an officer, Xue Kuiguang graduated from the third class of aviation, or Lin Xiangguang." ”

Lin Xiangguang actually did not graduate from Mawei Maritime School, he was the eighteenth session of Yantai Maritime School, and graduated from Mawei Maritime School after the revocation of Yantai Maritime School. He is like this, Lin Zhun, Gao Guangyou, Chen Cuichang, and Cheng Fakan are all like this. During the naval reconstruction period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and during the Beiyang period, the focus of the national naval school was Yantai, the so-called 830,000 sailors - in May of Xinhai year, 83 people graduated from the sixth driving class of the Yantai Naval Academy, known as the 830,000 sailors - so these people with backgrounds went to Yantai, did not want Beiyang to collapse, and finally could only transfer to Mawei to complete the rest of the courses. Li Kongrong chose Lin Xiangguang and felt that this person was quite capable of doing things, and there were few princes of the family. The party's atmosphere was later learned to be a thunderbolt.

"Lin Xiangguang is okay too." Lin Zhun didn't know Lin Xiangguang's background, but he, who graduated in 1928, was always more qualified than Xue Kuiguang, who graduated in 1931. "Then let Xue Kuiguang be a senior sergeant major." He retreated.

"Okay!" Li Kongrong had to nod, Xue Kuiguang would be favored by the Zeng family, naturally he had two brushes, and he couldn't say it if he didn't choose it. "Let him be a senior boatswain, the navigator will let Liu Yongren come, I have seen his results, he can do it."

Deputy Captain Gao Guangyou, Second Duty Officer Lin Xiangguang, and Chief Engineer Su Jinghu, these are officers; Senior Sergeant Major Navigation Officer is Liu Yongren, Senior Boatswain is Xue Kuiguang, Diesel Engine Sergeant Major is Chen Ergong, and Motor Sergeant Major is Cheng Jing. The remaining sergeant posts were easy to arrange, Jiang Jing, Qiu Zhongming, He Shuduo, Lu Ruping, Wang Guogui, the ten cadets who came to Germany first in the early days were all circled by Li Kongrong, and six more cadets came later, so that a total of twenty-four people were gathered.

Li Kongrong finished the election, and the rest naturally belonged to Lin Zhun. Lin Zhun was born in navigation, he didn't need to think about an experienced old man in the navigation department like Gao Guangyou, the most experienced marine engineer he cared about was selected by Li Kongrong, but Li Kongrong promised Germany that if the ship was successfully delivered, Chen Ergong would be transferred to him, so he had no opinion. In addition to the engineer officer, he is close to Lang Jiancheng's people, and Li Kongrong doesn't want these people.

The list was redrawn in two copies, one was Li Kongrong's group, and he named it Wolf; The other is Lin Zhun's group, and he named it Dragon. After the two chief officers divided up, Li Kongrong said again: "There is only one submarine, I think you should get on the boat first." ”

There are 24 people in each of the two groups, but the Type 2 submarine is only 25 people when it is fully manned, and there are at least eight instructors on the boat during training, and 24 people will definitely not fit it, so posts such as torpedoes and motors must be diverted to shore training. Even so, the two groups took turns to get on the boat, and the general arrangement was one group for a week.

"Hansheng is worried that something is wrong with him?" Lin Zhun saw that Li Kongrong was humble, and immediately guessed the reason.

"Hmm. I can't disgrace the Navy. Li Kongrong said with some concern, after all, he was born in a marine engine, and he is still not very familiar with the operation of ships, so this thing needs to be practiced more.

"Okay." Lin Zhun was glad that he could get on the boat first, and if the Germans withdrew from the ship, he might be able to use it for another week. "There is another matter," Lin Zhun reminded: "Qiu Zhongming, He Shuduo, and Lu Ruping have joined the Fuxing Society, and the last time you said that Xu Bozhou was spying on the Navy Attache's Office, you have to be careful that he reaches out to us." ”

"I'll talk to them." Li Kongrong nodded, and it was the sacred responsibility of every Fujian navy to defend against the party-state.

"The Germans have sent a training boat this time, and there is hope for the ship." Lin Zhun turned to ask about the delivery of the ship.

"It's hard." Li Kongrong didn't want to talk about it.

"Didn't you send a telegram to Dean Kong?" Lin Zhun asked.

"I went to the telegram, but the tungsten mine was under the management of Secretary General Weng of the Resources Committee, and Mr. Yongzhi only promised to negotiate with Secretary General Weng as much as possible." Li Kongrong said, "This matter has taken a turn several times, and I don't know if I can dig it out yet......

"Can't the minister go directly to the chairman?" Lin Zhun obviously didn't know much about the high-level affairs of the party-state.

"Tungsten ore is munition!" Li Kongrong said: "Some people say that the Germans sell arms expensively, and it is indeed expensive, and there is a lot of corruption in them, but apart from Germany, who else will sell arms in barter?" At present, the arms trade between China and Germany has not been interrupted, and only when the arms trade is interrupted can tungsten sand and antimony ore be accumulated. But this thing is still munitions, the Soviet Union gave us arms loans, we have no foreign exchange, so he can only collect these mineral specialties and go back to pay off the debt, the Resources Committee can expand the production of tungsten sand, it is good, if it is not expanded, it is ......"

"If you can't expand, it's no fun?" Lin Zhun looked at him, worried that he would scare himself, and then said, "Is this true?" ”

"I also received a telegram a few days ago, the Resources Committee said that it is impossible to exceed 10,000 tons of tungsten sand this year, and it will be difficult to reach 15,000 tons next year." Li Kongrong said this with annoyance, the output is not something that can be increased by his mouth.

"Then there is only ...... stealing" Lin Zhun said the word with difficulty, but in the end he shook his head, "This thing can't be done." ”

"There's nothing we can't do, we're afraid we can't do it." Li Kongrong said: "The shipyard is only six nautical miles away from the sea, and there is a border checkpoint in the middle. ”

"No way!" Lin Zhun still shook his head. "I thought about it later. Soldiers can't be indiscriminate, not to mention that when it comes to diplomatic relations between the two countries, the matter is so big, how can it be child's play! ”

"It's okay, it's good that the well water doesn't interfere with the river water." Li Kongrong was no longer disappointed, and the object after him was twenty-four people in his group, as long as these people agreed, twenty-four people could also drive the submarine out.

"Hansheng, you should also think about it, is it really right to act so recklessly?" Lin Zhun kindly persuaded him, he really didn't want Li Kongrong to suffer misfortune.

"We are the navy, and now Japan is fighting us, not to mention the rest, soon Xiamen and Fuzhou will be occupied by the Japanese army. Why don't we find a boat to fight back right away, worthy of this uniform? Li Kongrong said, "There is nothing reckless or reckless in the soldiers, what we do is to kill people, and only the Japanese who die are the best Japanese!" ”

"......" Lin Zhun was speechless, he left the list when Li Kongrong lowered his head and smoked, got up and left. After he left, Li Kongrong finished smoking and immediately notified the people on the list to hold a meeting, and fifteen minutes later, twenty-three people arrived.

"I'll start with a roll call." Li Kongrong looked at the twenty-three faces in front of him and did not smile.

Inexplicably called over by Li Kongrong, he picked up the list without saying anything, and the twenty-three people were a little happy, they knew that they were in Li Kongrong's group.

"Gao Guangyou." Li Kongrong's first point was his deputy captain.

"Here!" Gao Guangyou stood up, he was the only colonel-level officer outside Li Kongrong and Lin Zhun, he was generous, but he was not stupid, his eyes were often squinted, as if he hadn't woken up, but when he opened it, it was extremely clear.

"Sujing Lake." Li Kongrong did not call Lin Xiangguang's name, but called his classmate Su Jinghu.

"Here!" Su Jinghu stood up. Seeing his rank of captain and looking at himself again, Li Kongrong was very unworthy of him.

"Lin Xiangguang." The third is Lin Xiangguang, Xue Kuiguang and the others are hot.

"Here!" Lin Xiangguang got up, his voice was not as loud as Gao Guangyou, but it was louder than Su Jinghu, who had always been calm.

"Liu Yongren." It was still not Xue Kuiguang's turn, this time it was Liu Yongren, the navigation officer.

"Here!" Liu Yongren stood up, the son-in-law of the provincial finance director, with some romance in Swen, he can't forget to go to the dance hall when he comes to Germany, but unfortunately, German women only love the blonde and blue-eyed Aryan species.

"Xue Kuiguang." It was finally Xue Kuiguang's turn. He stood up and shouted the loudest 'to', as if he had nothing to do.

"Chen Ergong." Li Kongrong looked at his junior, who was also an honest person who didn't matter.

"Here." Chen Ergong stood up, his voice was not loud, but he smiled.

"Cheng Jing." Li Kongrong called the next one, his electrical sergeant major.

"Here." Cheng Jing responded, as if he was supporting me.

"Louder!" Li Kongrong shouted.

"Here!" Cheng Jing's whole body was shocked, and he shouted again, his chest straighter.

"Zheng Ang." Li Kongrong began to call the lieutenant by name, he was the first to graduate in the fifth class of navigation in 1934, one year higher than Qiu Zhongming and others. This time, in order to be fair, I arranged to study abroad according to my grades. In line with the principle of younger subordinates, Li Kongrong selected the youngest ten people in the sixth session and six people in the fifth session.

"Here!" Zheng Ang stood up, and sure enough, he was a young man, and the way he stood up and his voice were different from those before him.

"Willow Crane Diagram." Li Kongrong thought about the next one.

"Here." A Svenven man stood up.

"Chang Xiangqi." Li Kongrong read it again.

"Here."

"Sashihong."

"Here." Li Kongrong took a special look at him, this is Sa Zhenbing's relative.

"Highlights." is another child of a family, Gao Guangyou's third brother.

"Here!"

"Wei Xingjian."

"Here." The Hunan accent impressed Li Kongrong every time. (To be continued.) )
