Chapter Ninety-Five: Submarine 2

Gao Guangyou's sentence 'We have a submarine' made Li Kongrong stunned for a moment, and then his heart was shocked, but before he could ask Gao Guangyou why he said this, Tan Boyu, who left the police station building, called him out of the car, and he said: "The person you are looking for is very useful, and the matter is finally resolved safely." Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info However, the Germans are asking you to leave Berlin this week. ”

"This week?!" Li Kongrong smiled, "How is this possible, today is already Thursday, and many students are still studying in various factories, and they will not end their studies until at least next month, and we will leave at the end of this month at most according to domestic orders." ”

"But that's what the Germans demanded." Tan Boyu became serious, "Hansheng, don't you really want to fight those two submarines, do you?" ”

"Their demands are their demands, the cadets are now ...... torpedo factories, motor factories, diesel engine factories all over Germany, and even if I call them now, it will take several days for them to finish their studies, pack up and leave; And the ferry ticket, we always have to book the ferry ticket before we can go, right? Li Kongrong glanced at Gao Guangyou, and when he said this, he asked loudly: "Brother Fu Min, when should we leave Germany?" ”

"I ......" Li Kongrong suddenly asked, although Gao Guangyou understood the reason for his question, he didn't know how to answer, he shirked and said: "I don't know, can't you go back and discuss such a big matter?" ”

"Hey!" From lying and buying guns to deal with the Japanese to the idea of fighting the two unlaunched submarines, Tan Boyu felt that he couldn't hear a word of truth from Li Kongrong's side, and he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll try to buy you as much time as possible." Brother Hansheng, the matter has come to this, you can do it yourself. ”

After Tan Boyu finished speaking, he went back to the police station to reason with the Germans, and at this time Gao Guangyou had already gotten out of the car, and Li Kongrong immediately pulled him aside and whispered: "What did you mean by 'there is a submarine' just now?" ”

"There's a call from Lübeck saying that a German submarine has come into the shipyard for repairs." Gao Guangyou's face was slightly red, he was in a hurry to report the news after receiving a secret message from Lübeck.

"Didn't this happen before?" I heard that it was the German submarine docked for maintenance, Li Kongrong's hanging heart began to land, the Lübeck shipyard is next to the Neustadt submarine base, if some minor faults of the submarine base dock cannot be solved, it will naturally be driven to the Lübeck shipyard instead of going to Kiel, many of this kind of repair can be completed on the same day, or the next day, and he has no chance at all. Why did he suddenly write a letter this time, could it be that Lin Huiping also wanted to go crazy about submarines?

"Not this time." Gao Guangyou directly said the code words from Lübeck's side, he said. "This time it is said that it is a foot injury that is very important, I am afraid that I will have to stay in the hospital for several days, Brother Huiping said that he must find a doctor to see."

The foot is the propeller, if the propeller is seriously damaged, then it must be replaced with a new one, which is probably the reason why the submarine can only be towed to the Lübeck shipyard instead of the Kiel shipyard. Just, how long will it take? If you don't change the propeller this month, you won't be able to do it if you want to. And the Germans already knew their intentions to buy weapons, and if they learned about this, would they have laid a trap at the shipyard and waited for themselves to fall into the net?

Li Kongrong kept thinking about the current situation, he had always felt that he was decisive, but after the ridicule of the Japanese and the warning of the Germans, he now has palpitations, this is really a difficult decision, which makes people suffer from gains and losses.

In front of the Berlin police station, Li Kongrong pondered whether to do it or stop it, and Lin Huiping of the Lübeck shipyard was lying on the roof of his apartment building, carefully staring with his telescope at the German submarine in the outfitting dock in the distance. Because of the shelter of the house, he could only see the first half of the submarine, but only the first half made his eyes shine - Li Kongrong and others had already planned to abandon the two submarines in the shipyard dock because they were leaving Germany, but this active submarine towed back from the storm met all the conditions for operation, and if this submarine could be driven back, then everything would be complete.

Like other German submarines, the one in the outfitting dock was lean and straight, with a forward deck gun mounted in front of the conning tower, which was aimed at a non-existent enemy. At this time, the dock was pumping, and as the water level dropped, the harmonica-like vent was revealed along with the huge hull, and the rivets on it were revealed in the sunlight.

"It was said that there was an accident in the exercise." **** Ying and Xu Zhenqi, who went to the beer hall outside the shipyard to find out the news, came back after lunch, and they roughly figured out what happened. "It will take at least a week to repair, and we will have to install the propellers that were originally given to us."

"A week ......," Lin Huiping thought about the date, "that is after April 20th?" ”

"Maybe," Xu Zhenqi shook his head, "the foreman said that it would be repaired before Hitler's birthday holiday on April 20, but a few workers didn't do it, they said the time was too rushed." Why, do you really want to do it? ”

"That's before the People's Day holiday?" Lin Huiping said silently. People's Day is actually May Day, and the Nazis thought that Labor Day was a holiday advocated by the Bolshevik Party, so they changed the name of Labor Day to People's Day - after supervising the construction of the shipyard for more than a year, he was already well aware of the various holidays in Germany, between April and May. "After the 20th, before the People's Day, only the 22nd can be done on Saturday."

"What about the sailors? Where did those sailors go? "The operation must be carried out at night, preferably the next day off, so that the shipyard will postpone the time when the submarine has been stolen and the side will have a better chance of sailing out of the Skagerrak Strait into the North Sea. Lin Huiping thought about the date of the operation, and was worried about the guard of the submarine, which was an active submarine.

"I don't know." There are only workers in the beer hall, and no one talks about sailors, and **** Yao doesn't know where the sailors on the submarine went.

"Tell Hansheng about them?" Xu Zhenqi's hands trembled a little, it was Wang Guogui who he went to come overnight in the morning, and he knew that something was wrong in Berlin. If something happened, it was said that he should lie dormant for a while, but it can be seen that Lin Huiping meant to take the opportunity to start.

"Tell them." Lin Huiping glanced at Xu Zhenqi and **** Yao, and then nodded heavily. "In the end, whether to let Hansheng make up his mind, he is more sure than us, and we will inquire about the good news."

Lin Huiping made up his mind, and Li Kongrong also made up his mind, but it was time for him to have a headache. According to Tan Boyu's negotiations with the Germans, the naval cadets were to leave Germany before Hitler's birthday on April 20, not only Lin Zhun and the other nine, but all the naval cadets in Germany, only the three shipyard supervisors were allowed to stay in Germany because of the shipbuilding contract, and he, an embassy official.

If you get on the train on the afternoon of the 18th, get off the train that night and secretly go to Lübeck, and act the next night, it will not be a problem in time, but if the shipyard does not change the propellers on the 19th, you will be in danger - the Gestapo may really come up with a plan.

"You'd better go first." Li Kongrong weighed it in his heart, and finally spoke under Lin Zhun's expectation.

"Why do you want me to go first, isn't it okay?" After entering the police station once and coming out safely, Lin Zhun was much bolder, and he still wanted to personally participate in this long-planned operation.

"You're aiming too big." Li Kongrong said. "Of course, I have big goals, but I don't want to leave before the 20th. We still came according to the previous plan, you first took someone to the Netherlands to rent a boat to meet us, and brought the things that we had prepared earlier, especially the batteries. I can do my best to delay the day when the submarine is repaired, and if it really doesn't work, I'll let you know. ”

"So who stays?" Li Kongrong's tone was non-negotiable, and Lin Zhun twisted for a while and finally reluctantly asked other questions.

"If the shipyard doesn't fix the propeller on the 19th and we have to stay, the fewer people who stay, the better. Under extraordinary circumstances, an ocean-going submarine can be driven away by eight people - two people for diesel motors, two people for valves and high-pressure air pumps, one person for radio and listening, one person for helmsman, plus navigation officer, chief engineer, and I ......"

Li Kongrong said that he felt that there was one more person here, and he immediately corrected, "The radioman can be the helmsman when he is up, and I can be the helmsman when he dives, so that there are only eight people." The shipyard already has three people, Huiping, Zhenqi, and Rongying, and we only need to go to five more people, so that just one car can sit down. I think it's just me, Jinghu, Liu Yongren, Chen Ergong, and Xia Xin, so that the goal is the smallest, and the others who are willing to return to China will go to the Netherlands with you first, and I will send them on the bus for the rest. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Kongrong finally determined the list of personnel, and he didn't wait for Lin Zhun to answer, and said: "Zunzhi, you are very short of time, I think you will leave today, I am afraid that your ship will not be able to reach the place by then, so the eight of us will sit and wait in the Baltic Sea." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you at the joint." Seeing that Li Kongrong's words were serious, Lin Zhun stood up and said, "I will go to the Dutch embassy immediately to apply for an entry and exit visa." ”

Lin Zhun said that he was about to go out, but he didn't want Li Kongrong to stand up too, "Not only you go, but also the students in Berlin, so that the Germans know that we are really leaving." ”

After a day of silence, the Chinese all went to the Dutch Embassy in Germany to apply for transit visas and buy departure train tickets, and the Germans who had been keeping an eye on them naturally noticed it. After receiving the report, Eichmann, who had already written a report on the arms smuggling case of the Chinese, immediately laughed contemptuously, and this group of filthy rats was finally going to get out of Germany. "Did they buy a train ticket?" Eichmann asked.

"I bought it, seven people have already left, and I bought forty-one train tickets to the Netherlands, and the boarding time is 11:30 a.m. next Wednesday, the day before the deadline." The Berlin police chief, Director Hedolph, sensed that the case was closed, and wondered why Eichmann was holding on.

"To the Netherlands? Forty-one tickets? "Eichmann was a little strange.

"Yes, to the Netherlands. The Chinese counselor was angry that the colonel on the phone was arguing with the embassy as they were preparing to go to the United States instead of returning to China. "Colonel Lee, an embassy official, said he would leave Germany on the last day of the month, and he called Colonel Dönitz's office in the Admiralty, and he called the head of military intelligence, Canaris, all of them. Canaris was trying to keep him, saying that his departure was Germany's greatest loss. ”

"Germany's biggest loss?" Eichmann laughed, "We will suffer the most if he doesn't leave." Mr. Director, although they are leaving, you have asked your men to keep an eye on them twenty-four hours a day until they leave Germany. ”

"As you wish." Highdolph blinked, looking willing. In fact, he was of a higher rank than Eichmann, but because of the case, Eichmann could report directly to Heelem, and he had to obey him. "My men will keep an eye on them twenty-four hours a day until they leave Germany."

"Good!" Eichmann did not see Heildorf's reluctance, his mind was preoccupied with the report to Hillem two days after tomorrow, according to his wishes, it was better for him to stay in Berlin and not return to Hamburg, and he had no idea that the Chinese had reformulated their plans to finish off what he had described in his report as 'the conspiracy which had not been carried out because of his obstruction'.

On April 14, he decided to take action and went to the Dutch embassy in the afternoon to apply for a visa; On the morning of the 15th, Lin Zhun and the others left early, and at the same time, Li Kongrong bought a train ticket at half past eleven in the morning of the 19th, and the next few days were to wait for the students scattered all over Germany to rush back to Berlin and then return to China together. In the boring waiting, Tan Boyu and Xu Bozhou often visited, not reluctantly, but to persuade Li Kongrong and others not to go to the United States and turn back to China. Tan Boyu is a civilian official, and his speech is mainly persuasion, Xu Bozhou is a military attaché and a member of the Fuxing Society, and at the end of the conversation, he began to threaten Li Kongrong when he still did not change his mind.

"Brother Hansheng, President Kong has always appreciated you, and the chairman of the committee often mentions your name, you don't follow the orders of the Admiralty to return to China but go to the United States, are you really not afraid of military law?" It was the night of April 18, and this was the last time Tan Boyu and Xu Bozhou persuaded him. "Lin Xianxi, those people have been expelled from the army, aren't you afraid that my brother will escort you back to China?"

Xu Bozhou sang with a black face, and began to speak in a different tone, in fact, Li Kongrong said that he went to the United States to explain why he went to the Netherlands instead of Italy. He was told that he should go to Italy, and then take a ship from the Mediterranean, but he could not go to Italy—to go to Italy was to the south, and Lübeck was to the north, and the train was getting farther and farther away from Lübeck; To the Netherlands is different, to the east of the Netherlands, you can get off in Hanover, which is more than 200 kilometers from the German-Dutch border and more than 200 kilometers to Lübeck. This is still a big station, Su Jinghu and others will not attract attention when they get off the train with the flow of people, and after getting off the train, they can drive along the German highway for up to three hours to Lübeck, which is why he bought a train ticket for the 19th instead of the 18th.
