Chapter Ninety-Three: A Serendipitous Encounter

Tan Boyu was really speechless to Li Kongrong's gang, in his mind, if Li Kongrong told the truth yesterday, things would definitely not come to this point, at least he could delay a moment or two; In Li Kongrong's view, the arrest of Lin Zhun and others was really unexpected, and Debord was only three or four hours away, so why didn't he leave the country by more than three o'clock in the afternoon? The two of them have their own hearts at this time, Tan Boyu has been doing anger all day, the Germans don't give him a good face, and he is also blamed a lot in China; Li Kongrong hoped that Canaris would be the talker, and Lin Zhun would come out of the police station early tomorrow morning, and then he would leave immediately after arranging the things to be arranged.

After sitting in the office for a while, the secretary outside sent another telegram, Tan Boyu looked at it with a wry smile on his face, he handed the telegram to Li Kongrong and said, "Brother Hansheng, we are all unlucky." ”

Seeing Tan Boyu's expression, Li Kongrong guessed that it was a reprimand telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, but it was Chang Kaishen who took it to see the payment, he also smiled bitterly, and then read the telegram, Chang Kaishen scolded Tan Boyu as soon as he came up, "Supervision is not good, causing the reckless cadets of the navy to cause a big disaster, undermining the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and affecting the reputation of the country", after scolding Tan Boyu, the telegram also said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had canceled his position as acting military attachΓ©, so he asked Tan Boyu to report to the German Foreign Ministry immediately, and at the same time he wanted to return to China immediately to report on his work.

Last year, Li Kongrong retained the post of naval attache stationed in Germany only because Canaris secretly came forward to persuade the German Foreign Ministry to save it, and now that the naval cadets have an accident in Germany, Chang Kaishen took the opportunity to ask for the abolition. Li Kongrong returned the telegram to Tan Boyu, and he said: "My brother has been in Germany for two years, and he has not accomplished anything, but he has caused a lot of trouble, and it is time to leave." ”

Li Kongrong said that he would be suspicious if he left Tan Boyu, and he knew that Li Kongrong had a deep relationship with some German dignitaries. Li Kongrong saw that he didn't speak and said: "But I always have to bail out Zunzhi and the others before leaving, I will leave now, what should I do with them?" ”

"Brother Han Sheng, if Zunzhi really only targeted the Japanese, and didn't do anything in the end, it would be easy to do." Tan Boyu said: "But it's better not to have such a thing." ”

"Nothing like that?!" Li Kongrong was immediately stunned, and Tan Boyu's reminder made him realize that he had made a serious mistake, that is, Lin Zhun and others might be able to refuse to admit that they were related to the firearms case in Hamburg, anyway, the Germans only had human evidence and no physical evidence. He demonized the Nazis, believing that Lin Zhun and the others would recruit anything once they were tortured, but Lin Zhun and the others were Chinese naval officers, not ordinary people, and the Nazis always had to pay attention to the influence for the sake of international perspective.

"Yes. It's better not to be like that. Tan Boyu said his thoughts, "If something really happens, the country's reputation will not be good-looking, which country will dare to accept our military cadets in the future?" There are also a lot of people in the army in Germany, and the second son is in Germany. ”

"It's ......, but we can't see anyone." Li Kongrong pondered for a while, he didn't expect Tan Boyu to come up with this idea.

"Tomorrow morning, someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take me to the police station to meet people." Tan Boyu said, "You go with me." ”

"Okay." Li Kongrong nodded with a heavy mind. Tan Boyu said again: "Brother Hansheng, after this matter is over, you can go back to China to report on your work, you have a lot of opinions if you don't go back to China last year." ”

"I know that last year someone in Germany asked me to stay, and I couldn't do anything about it. With that done, I'll be leaving Germany this month. Li Kongrong did not nod, nor did he say that he would return to China, his plan was to leave Germany and go directly to the United States with a British passport.

"Okay, Brother Hansheng will go back first." Tan Boyu was tired for a day, and after the matter was discussed, he sent off the guests. Li Kongrong said hard work before leaving, and now he is worried that Lin Zhun and Jiang Jing will not be able to make up tomorrow morning to confess.

Li Kongrong is only worried about tomorrow, Lin Xianxin of the New York Navy Office has been worried about the safety of Lin Zhun and Li Kongrong since he received a telegram from Berlin, one is his cousin, although the blood is far away, but after all, the surname is Lin; The other is the chief planner of the rebuilding of the navy, and although the Xinzhong Defense Company has $20 million in its account and a shipload of Tang Dynasty porcelain has been fished up in Nanyang, it is far from enough to rebuild the navy with this money.

What to do with the stock market, how to run shipyards, aircraft factories, steel plants, and how to configure the fleet? These things are planned in advance, but the plan also needs to be arranged. The Chinese Navy, which had experienced the Battle of Jiangyin and the Battle of Holland Harbor, completely agreed with Li Kongrong's view that the aircraft carrier was supreme, but how the aircraft carrier fleet should fight, except Li Kongrong, was afraid that no one knew clearly.

Neither of them can have an accident. With this thought, Lin Xianxian did not sleep all night, and when the eastern sky turned white, he received a telegram from Li Kongrong from Berlin, which briefly described the matter, and said that Lin Zhun and others were only suspected of buying and selling firearms, and they would soon be able to leave Germany without accident.

Li Kongrong understands the relationship between Lin Xianxin and Lin Zhun, he said things very easily, but he didn't dare to conclude that Lin Zhun would be fine. After reading the telegram, Lin Xianxi knew what was going on, and most of his heart was naturally relieved overnight, but he was relieved that Chen Jiliang was not at ease, and he rushed from the apartment early in the morning to ask for news.

"That's about it." Lin Xianxin handed the telegram to Chen Jiliang and forced him to say it easily.

"What is this Chinese headquarters?" Li Kongrong sent a secret telegram, which mentioned that it was the 'Chinese headquarters', which was the news provided by the British.

"The Germans are xenophobic, I guess it is not my race, their hearts will be different." Lin Xianxin said. Most countries in the world have Chinatowns, but why not in Germany? This is all thanks to the Nazis and this 'Chinese headquarters'.

"They're too careless." Chen Jiliang put down the telegram, and his tone was a little reproachful. "The submarine thing should not have been carried out in the first place, and Hansheng and Zunzhi can't personally command it, what if something really happens?"

"We're all old, if this young man doesn't have the courage to go again, how far can the navy go?" Lin Xianxin used to be quirky and silent, but the reconstruction of the navy pushed him to a high-profile stage, and although some of his words were ugly, there was also a lot of truth. After Lin Xianxi finished speaking, he felt that his tone was too choked, and he said in a long tone: "Hansheng said that there is no cruise ship without submarines, and there is no aircraft carrier without cruise ships." The Navy has no money, so we can only take the road of capture and modification. ”

"He's a robber!" Chen Jiliang couldn't help but smile when he thought of Li Kongrong's evil expression last year when he emphasized that he must grab the cruise ship and grab the cruise ship.

"Robbers are robbers, at least we have boats, and only with ships can we fight the Japanese." Lin Xianxin also smiled.

"And now?" Li Kongrong had already made it clear in the telegram that he would abandon the submarine, so Chen Jiliang had this question. "Do you really want to buy a high-speed merchant ship refit? The Japanese were already vigilant at this time, and intelligence said that there were many civilian soldiers on Japanese cruise ships. If we really want to take the ship again, the Japanese will definitely open the sea valve. ”

The U.S. industry is doing well, and under the rough guidance of MI6 and the military commanders, the Republic of Korea's intelligence service, which Kim Koo is responsible for, has also opened in a low-key manner. Because Britain and the military commanders did not attach importance to it, the means of the intelligence network were extremely rudimentary, and the personnel were not capable, and the Japanese took down two radio stations in less than half a month after they opened. This incident scared MI6 into a cold sweat, but fortunately, the reporters of the sticks were all dead, and the Japanese police rushed to open the door before they could trigger the explosives and the code book to die. After this incident, MI6 refused to contact the North Koreans again, but the reaction of the military commander was the opposite, and Dai Li, in front of Jin Jiu, directly praised the North Koreans for their backbone and intelligence materials, and immediately opened a training course for North Korean intelligence officers, and the content of the course was much more advanced.

Korea has been annexed by Japan for a long time, and the Koreans have penetrated deep into Japan, even if there is no systematic intelligence organization, Jin Jiu and others have a deeper understanding of Japan than Dai Li. According to Li Kongrong's request, North Korean intelligence officers have been collecting intelligence on Japanese industry, navy, ports, and other aspects since last year, and cruise ships are naturally among them, so Chen Jiliang knows about the situation of Japanese cruise ships.

"Let's wait for Hansheng to come over and talk about this matter, he will always have a way." Lin Xianxin said with a smile. Chen Jiliang saw unfavorable factors, but what he saw was a naval intelligence network from scratch, although this intelligence network was all Koreans, but at least, before the Japanese surrendered, the Koreans were still reliable.

"You're really relieved." Chen Jiliang was not very satisfied with Lin Xianxi's optimism, "I don't know what happened in China." Granny He of the Ministry of Military Affairs, as well as the chairman of the Standing Committee, may have some ideas. ”

"What can they do if they come up with ideas?" He was not happy when he mentioned the domestic Lin Xianxi, he didn't want to mention the domestic mess, so he said: "Wait for Aizhou to come and talk about the acquisition of the bankrupt automobile factory, do you want to go and see?" ”

Chen Jiliang is a signboard in the United States, and the specific affairs are handled by the people below, while the general direction is decided by Li Kongrong, and the strategy is Lin Xianxin in charge, he just provides some advice. Helicopter companies were about to buy factories, and Jackson, Michigan, in the Great Lakes region, happened to have an automobile-airplane company that went bankrupt. Buying a factory building is the quickest, Zhi Bingyuan wanted to buy it after learning about the situation, but buying a factory is not a trivial matter, Lin Xianxi will definitely have to take a look, and Chen Jiliang will also have a look if he wants to.

"The car factory?" In the past six months, Chen Jiliang has seen many shipyards and steel plants, but he does not know much about automobile factories.

"Yes, in what Michigan. It is said that the car was built, and the airplane was also built, but the work has been stopped for several years, and no one has bought it. Lin Xianxin said. We bought it just enough to build a helicopter. ”

"Then let's go check it out." Michigan is on the Great Lakes, but the Navy bought a Douglas airliner and hired two pilots for convenience, and it won't take much time to fly over from New York.

Chen Jiliang promised to go to see the car factory, but when he arrived at the place, he was suddenly stopped in Chinese. "Hello Commander Chen and General Lin!" Li Guoqin of the New York Antimony Company looked at Chen Jiliang with a smile, he was not alone, there were several people next to him. "Come, come, come! To Brother Ben and Brother Jiurong, let me introduce these two ......"

"Do you need to introduce this?" Hou Debang, who was standing beside Li Guoqin, glanced at Shi Jiurong, and he smiled: "This is the mighty Commander Chen of the Navy and General Lin Lin, the pillar of the Navy Reconstruction. ”

"Commander Chen is good, General Lin is good." Shi Jiurong is young, no more than Hou Debang and Chen Jiliang Lin Xianxi are fellow villagers, but he and Zhi Bingyuan know each other, he worked as an engineer in Shanghai Meitong Company a long time ago, and he did not leave Shanghai until he was kidnapped in the French Concession and escaped.

"Mr. Binglin, why are you here? Is it also to buy a factory? "Zhi Bingyuan is sociable, and he opened up the situation not long after he came to New York, and he was extremely strange why Li Guoqin and Shi Jiurong were also here.

"This," Li Guoqin first smiled at Chen Jiliang and Lin Xian, and then said: "To my brother, I heard that there was a bankruptcy of an automobile factory in the United States, so I told the country, and the general office of the Central Machinery Factory asked Brother Jiurong to come and take a look, and if it was okay, he would buy the factory's machinery back. General Lin, you are here to buy a machine......"

"We buy factories." Lin Xianxi's words were short, and he was not shy about outsiders, he said: "Don't want the machine." ”

"That's good, that's good!" Li Guoqin's original worries were reduced to nothing, he did not come to W.F. Stewart to join in the fun, he came because he could get a 1% commission for the sale.

"Gentlemen, this is Stewart Motor Company." The more the two Chinese talked, the more lively it became, Samuel Sidney Stewart, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but interrupt, he pointed to the huge factory behind him and said: "This is a great company, it was founded in 1881, it was founded in the hands of my father, it used to produce the body ...... of Pontiac and Buick cars."

The Americans began to talk about the glorious history of the factory, and indeed, the factory was extremely large, and the factory building was connected to the factory building, and the chimney used to be a chimney. However, the effects of the Great Depression persisted, and it was precisely because of its size that it could not compete with the small factories and had to close down. Samuel Stewart introduced the Stewart Motor Company in a very exaggerated tone, but before he could finish bragging, his face turned purple.

"Samuel, we are against it!" More than a hundred white men dressed in various colors burst in angrily, some of them armed with shotguns. "We are against selling the factory!" The red neck at the head glanced at the Chinese present, then curiously looked at Chen Jiliang and Lin Xianxi in navy uniforms, and finally glared at the changed Stewart.

"Marcus, this is a private factory, you have no right to ......," the local white lawyer standing next to Stewart was about to warn the trespassers, but when he saw the factory guards standing next to Marcus and the shotguns in their hands, he immediately kept silent.

"Gentlemen, this is a complete misunderstanding, a misunderstanding......" Stewart's forehead was covered with sweat, and he could not explain it at all between the unpaid workers and the big buyers.

"Chinese, this is not a misunderstanding." Marcus, who was in his forties, was bald and bearded, as if he hadn't woken up from alcohol, and he waved his hand to stop the workers behind him and shouted: "Mr. Stewart told us that the factory will be reopened soon, but he is lying, he is going to sell the factory and the machines will be shipped away, and we will not allow him to do this!" ”

"Yes, he's lying, he's been deceiving us, we won't allow the factory to be sold......" Marcus finished speaking, and the crowd immediately chimed in. (To be continued.) )
