After everyone dispersed, the naval quarters on Spandau finally calmed down. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the moon is like a hook, except for the sound of cars and train whistles, the whole East End of Berlin is peaceful. Li Kongrong did not return to the apartment, he lived in his former room, this silent night, he once again carefully looked at the plan formulated with the assistance of the British Royal Navy Staff, and the notes left by Lin Zhun next to the plan: the location of the dock, the map of the shipyard, the depth of the water in the estuary, the location of the scheduled round...... And so on and so forth.

The Royal Navy considered the entire program to have a fifty percent success rate - the difficulty was not in the shipyards and the Telavi estuary, but in the Skaggerrak Strait. It was less than sixty nautical miles wide, and if the Germans discovered that the submarine had been stolen, the destroyers patrolling the North Sea would immediately rush to the strait to prevent the submarine from entering the North Sea, and the Luftwaffe would also reconnoiter over the Baltic Sea. The submarine was only a diving ship, not a real 'submersible', and failure was doomed if it did not dive into the North Sea before the Germans effectively blocked the Skagerrak Strait.

Even if it is a straight route from the Telavi mouth to the Skagerrak Strait, there are 330 nautical miles, and the fastest speed of the submarine is only 18 knots per hour, which means that the submarine needs 18 hours to sail at full speed to break through the blockade without taking detours. The original plan was made in the winter, with twelve hours at night, but no more than nine hours at night in the spring, minus the time to leave the shipyard and the Telavi River, and the maximum time to sail in the Baltic Sea was only seven hours.

No matter how much time is calculated, the only hope is that the Germans will be negligent - Lin Huiping reported that the submarine will be repaired tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, in order to celebrate the birthday of the great leader Hitler, the whole country will have a holiday parade, and it is not known whether there will be anyone in the shipyard in the morning, and it is not known whether the workers will report it immediately after discovering the disappearance of the submarine. Thinking of this, Li Kongrong, who was tired of coming up, couldn't help but say to himself, 'Everything depends on luck', and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Most people in Berlin are asleep, but in Lübeck, a few hundred kilometers away, Lin Huiping and Xu Zhenqi are still outside. In order to make it to the outfitting dock the night after a quiet day, they had to find a path free of wolfdogs, and after much tossing and turning, they decided that the only way to cross the Travi River was to swim through. On the dark and dull river, after more than 1,000 meters of hard rowing, the two finally touched the shore near the dock, there was no dog barking, only the faint street lamps of the shipyard at night and the sound of insects everywhere in spring.

"Climb in and see?" Xu Zhenqi, who came out of the water, squatted on the ground to gasp, this is the river bank, and the section of less than half a meter above the ground is the dock gate of the dock. At this time, the submarine was still being repaired, and the swarthy gate was naturally closed.

"Look, look." Lin Huiping gasped and nodded. He also had to confirm whether the news Rong Ying heard in the beer hall was true, and if the submarine could not be repaired before the end of work tomorrow, the operation could only be postponed.

Lin Huiping took a few breaths and half-lay down to the dock entrance, walked through the curtain that blocked the view, and when he arrived at the dock entrance, he saw the submarine half-exposed dock command tower, and some of the people standing at the gate in front of him saw the black dock bottom. At this time, the water in the dock had been drained, and the bow of the whole submarine was facing inwards and stern facing outward, and it was padded on the keel piers and side piers. Lin Huiping climbed down cautiously as soon as he bent down, there was no wind in the dock, and he smelled a strong smell of lubricating oil as soon as he entered the dock. Standing and looking at nothing, he simply squatted down, and by the twilight of the moon, he finally saw the submarine five meters away from him.

"I can't see clearly." Xu Zhenqi also came down, and there was actually a hint of excitement in his tone, he didn't expect to come in so smoothly.

"Touch it and take a look." Lin Huiping touched the bottom of the dock with his hand, and while touching it forward, finally, he touched the stern of the boat, which was more than one person high, then the ordinary rudder outside the two windows, and finally the two propellers.

"Come here, block out the light." Lin Huiping greeted, and when Xu Zhenqi approached, the two of them formed an arc with their bodies, and he turned on the flashlight he had been carrying, but the flashlight didn't light up no matter how he pressed it, so he had to pat the barrel with his hand, and it was useless to pat it with his hand. "It's flooded." He said in annoyance.

"I have matches, so I don't know ......" Xu Zhenqi said while touching the matches in his pocket, fortunately, the matches did not enter the water, he scraped the first match and spewed flames, which was the fire of the medicine head, and then the light dimmed until the stalk began to burn.

The bottom of the submarine was painted with red paint, and after the match was lit, Lin Huiping found that the submarine was very new, and it was estimated that the time to launch would not be more than half a year, otherwise the bottom of the ship would not be so clean. Looking at the bottom of the boat, he found that the submarine propeller had actually been replaced, but it was not only the propeller that was damaged, but also the rudder had been replaced, as well as some steel plates on the bottom of the boat.

Judging by the damage and abrasions on the paint, the tail of this submarine should have collided with other submarines, and the entire second half of the submarine was lifted due to the impact, and the propeller, rudder and steel plate at the bottom were damaged in this situation.

"No wonder it took so long." When the match was burned, Lin Huiping muttered, he finally had a bottom about the situation of the submarine.

"Do you want to see it?" Xu Zhenqi wanted Lin Huiping to look at it for a while, but he didn't extinguish the match until his finger burned just now, and now his finger hurts faintly. "Can it be fixed tomorrow?"

"I see that the outside has been repaired, and now I am probably waiting for the paint to dry, so I don't know what it looks like inside." Lin Huiping is most worried about the propeller, everything is fine from the outside, but I don't know what is going on inside.

"If the propeller is installed, the hub inside is generally pressed as well." Xu Zhenqi pinched his fingers, he didn't want to climb into the submarine. Not to mention that when you enter the submarine, you have to climb the tall, easy-to-see command tower, and if you want to enter the command tower, you have to unscrew the hatch that enters and exits. Unscrewing the hatch in the dead of night would have made a noise, and there were several dogs in the shipyard, which might have alarmed them at the first sound.

"No, you have to take a look, otherwise you won't have a bottom tomorrow." Lin Huiping also knew that entering the submarine would make a noise, but if he didn't understand it today, he would find that the wheels inside were not installed when he got on the boat tomorrow, and it would be over. "You wind at the dock, I'll go in and have a look."

"Okay." The dock mouth is the Telavi River, and thinking that he can jump into the river immediately if something happens, Xu Zhenqi immediately agreed.

"Give me matches. If something really happens, you run away immediately, leave me alone. Lin Huiping explained.

"And what do you do?" Xu Zhenqi handed over the match, probably thinking that it was very unrighteous to run, so he asked.

"At most, I was arrested for espionage, and it was a big deal to send me back to China and go to prison for several years." Lin Huiping took the match and handed the broken flashlight to Xu Zhenqi at the same time. "If we all get arrested tomorrow with the guy on our bodies, then we won't be in jail. Remember waiting for me at the dock, and if there is a situation, throw a stone over, I can hear it. If you are found, you run. ”

Lin Huiping explained again before he touched the submarine's amidships, and climbed onto the deck like a cat along the wooden frame for maintenance. Because he was swimming from the Travi River, he wore no shoes, and the deck was cold and cold under his bare feet. Carefully bypassing the steel cable, leaning against the handle on the enclosure, he climbed up the command tower little by little, and at the top of the command tower, he looked around vigilantly. The shipyard was still quiet, and not half of the guards were missing under the dim streetlights, and they all seemed to be asleep.

"Mazu bless." Lin Huiping muttered to himself in his heart, and then he went down to the bottom of the command tower. There was no worry that unscrewing the hatch would make a noise, and the hatch at the bottom of the command tower to enter the submarine was open, but he was worried that there would be sailors stationed in the submarine, and this concern made him squat by the hatch cover and hesitate for a long time. After about ten minutes, Lin Huiping, who couldn't hear the snoring inside, decided to go down to take a look, and something happened as soon as he moved, and the box of matches that Xu Zhenqi gave him just now fell somehow.

The sound of the match falling was slight, but it also made Lin Huiping break out in a cold sweat, and after waiting for a few more minutes, he finally entered the submarine along the ladder. It was pitch black and silent in the submarine, and something happened that made him break out in a cold sweat again - he couldn't find the box of matches that had just fallen on the ground.

The darkness of not being able to see your fingers is suffocating, and not being able to touch a match is creepy. Fortunately, he was sure that this was a new submarine, otherwise he would have thought that the collision had happened to hell. After reciting the phrase 'Mazu bless', Lin Huiping, who felt that he had never done anything evil, comforted himself before slowly walking to the tail of the submarine. Although he couldn't see clearly, he was familiar with the submarine drawings and knew that there were those compartments inside the submarine, and little by little, step by step, he finally touched the torpedo room at the very end. Along the propeller shaft connected to the power room, he carefully touched the two impeccable shafts.

Only one propeller was not installed - he felt the tool next to the gearbox on the left, but the hub and gearbox were connected, which meant that the replacement of the propeller shaft that had been inserted into the hull from the outside had been replaced, but the gearbox had broken teeth during the impact, so it needed to be replaced. Perhaps some gears do not need to be replaced, so the repair method is not to replace the gearbox but to replace the gears one by one. Tomorrow the shipyard will replace all the damaged gears, and the whole repair will be completed after replacing the gears.

Xu Zhenqi climbed out of the dock and lay in the depression, Lin Huiping went in for more than an hour and didn't come out, when he couldn't help but get up, a hand was on his body, which scared half of his soul, but fortunately it was Lin Huiping's voice after that, "It's me." ”

"Scared the hell out of me." Xu Zhenqi spit out, and then he asked, "Are you all right?" ”

"It's all right." Lin Huiping replied with some excitement, "Let's go back and talk." ”

The trumpets of the navy dormitory sounded at six o'clock on time, and when Li Kongrong was giving a lecture, he found that most of the people had swollen eyes, and it seemed that everyone had not slept well last night. In fact, he didn't sleep well, and at three o'clock he was awakened by a nightmare, and it was the dream of the car accident again. It seems that the ghost of Major Li Kongrong has been haunting him, but he asked himself that he had not treated the Li family badly, and as for the ...... of his son Li Shizheng's death, in this era without penicillin, wound infection and disease anti-corruption after trauma are common.

"Stand - right! At ease. Looking at the twenty-one students in front of him, Li Kongrong hesitated for a moment before speaking. He said: "It seems that everyone has been thinking about it all night, and they have a bottom in their hearts about how to go." I still say the same thing, you choose your own path, you must return to China, you can report to Cheng Jing when you arrive in the Netherlands, he will arrange for you to return to China, and others will have other arrangements when they arrive in the Netherlands. As for how to arrange it, everyone will know when the time comes, and it will be a good thing anyway. ”

Speaking of good things, Li Kongrong couldn't help laughing, before the assembly, he received a call from Lin Huiping, and the code words showed that everything was normal over there, and they even dived inside the submarine for a walk. Lin Huiping can enter and exit the submarine smoothly, which means that his people can also enter and exit the submarine smoothly, and the only remaining problem is whether the gate at the dock entrance can be opened quietly.

Li Kongrong laughed, and those young students also laughed, they were not tormented this night, but excited.

"They are all colleagues, and I still have to say to those who want to return to China: from yesterday to the day after tomorrow, don't report what you see and hear. Although the roads are different, but everyone is in the navy, you can't look down and don't look up, you can get a lot of benefits if you report back, but this offends us. I, Li Hansheng, have always been good at doing things, but last year, Wang Zhiguang hid from me to make a small report, and I was almost beaten later. I don't want to mess with anyone, but don't mess with me, if you really want to provoke, it's to never die. Don't think I'm talking about fun, you have to remember that last year I was alone, and now I have a group of people. ”

Li Kongrong's eyes were blazing, and he swept the old captains one by one, glaring at them so much that they all lowered their heads before he withdrew his gaze. Then he shouted, "Stand up! Salute - salute, raise the flag! ”

The blue sky and white sun flag was raised in Berlin for the last time, and looking at the higher and higher flags, Li Kongrong thought in his salute that this was probably the last time he saluted it - according to military law, he would be a traitor after tomorrow. Since he is treasonous, then this national flag drawn by Sun Yat-sen should not be wanted; Moreover, in his mind, this national flag did not solicit design proposals from the people of the whole country, and second, it was not submitted to the representatives of all provinces across the country for discussion, and this was only the national flag determined by the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang on June 30, 1924 at the behest of Sun Yat-sen, and it was essentially a party flag. For it to be truly legitimate, it would have to wait seven years later, in December 1946, when the Constituent National Convention adopted the constitution of the Republic of China, which explicitly stated that the national flag would be blue and white.

Real him. the Kuomintang! Looking at the blue sky and white sun flag waving in the wind on the flagpole, Li Kongrong sighed heavily in his heart.

"Sir, I want to ...... with Sir" The flag was disbanded as soon as the flag was raised, but Jiang Jing ran over, who did he probably get the news from.

"No place." The car in Hanover has long been prepared, and there are five people in one car, and there is no place for Jiang Jing.

"Sir, but I'm small, I'll just hide my suitcase." Jiang Jing guessed that she was about to do something big, so she came to intercede.

Jiang Jing was indeed small, and thinking that the Mercedes-Benz she borrowed was extremely wide, Li Kongrong finally nodded and said, "Let's see the situation later." (To be continued.) )
