Chapter 33 Dedication
Seeing Li Kongrong dashing away with Kong Xiangxi, Du Yuming did not move at all. He was worried that as soon as he left, he would not be able to remember what Li Kongrong said just now, and only after he recalled all the main points did he ask Hou Teng: "Have you written them all?" ”
Hou Teng is a native of Lishan, Hubei, and the sixth phase of Huangpu. He used to take a notebook to record the parameters of the tank, but he didn't want Li Kongrong to talk about the establishment of armored forces and the principles of operation. Fortunately, he was clever, not only remembering the main points, but also drawing ghost talismans in the notebook and memorizing most of the things. At this time, seeing Du Yuming asking, he was relieved: "The main points have been written down." Guangting, I think what Adjutant Li said is better than the Germans, if he can be in the armored regiment......"
"People are navy, how can they come to the armored regiment?" Du Yuming asked rhetorically, he actually wanted this Li Hansheng to join the armored regiment.
"But he ......" Hou Teng is actually not good at saying that Li Kongrong is just a naval lieutenant, and Du Yuming, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, is of course not easy to mention, but compared to him, a lieutenant colonel, it is still far behind.
"The Central Navy is all Fujianese, and he is also Fujianese, so will people leave the Navy and come to the armored regiment?" Du Yuming understood what Hou Teng meant, but he felt that it was impossible. "Aren't we all in Germany during this time, as long as we have time, we will go to Brother Hansheng for advice."
"It seems that this is the only way to go." Hou Teng muttered, and he began to worry about how to improve his note-taking ability.
Li Kongrong accompanied Kong Xiangxi back to the hotel, he was originally going back to the naval dormitory, but the Luftwaffe arranged a program in the evening, and he had to wait at the hotel. At eight o'clock, when everyone rushed to the National Center for the Performing Arts, Goering's guy didn't come, only Milch, deputy commander of the Air Force, came, Kong Xiangxi changed color on the spot, and he felt that he, the commission, and the party-state were once again insulted by Goering.
Kong Xiangxi is like this, but after all, there is a deputy commander, so everyone enters the box. What made Kong Xiangxi feel a little better was that the German side arranged for him to be the Führer Hitler's box, and the opera was also the famous Arabella. Kong Xiangxi felt comfortable, but Li Kongrong felt that this bird place was not as good as the broken Internet café that stayed up all night in college, although the boss didn't open the air conditioner, but at least there was a big fan, there was no refrigeration and ventilation equipment in this box, and it was hot in the opera house at night, and the sweat was like rain.
After the first act of the opera was sung, he wanted to flee to the toilet, not wanting to be crowded outside, and Goering actually limped with his cane. He first apologized to Kong Xiangxi, Chen Shaokuan, Cheng Tianfang and others, and when he saw Li Kongrong, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he smiled extremely gentlemanly. Goering's arrival made Kong Xiangxi happy, and he was still smiling after the opera was finished and sweating. At nine o'clock the opera ended, and Goering invited everyone to dinner at the Bristol Hotel.
After talking with Kong Xiangxi for a while, Goering actually talked to Li Kongrong from four positions, and he spoke in German, "Major Li is from the navy?" ”
The navy's large-brimmed hat is an iron anchor under the daylight, and you can tell at a glance that this is the navy. Li Kongrong saw Goering asking himself, he first glanced at Kong Xiangxi cautiously, and when he saw Kong Xiangxi nodding, he said, "Yes, general, I am from the navy." ”
"I'm surprised that you can actually recite the Führer's "Mein Kampf." Goering smiled, he was a little interested in Li Kongrong.
"Yes, I have great respect for Führer Hitler." Li Kongrong said politely. "But I have more respect for you!"
"To me?" Goering smiled even more, he knew it was a compliment, but it pleased him.
"Yes. I am sincerely amazed at your bravery in the last great war, the Richthofen Wing is a heroic unit, it is the Eagle of God. Li Kongrong recalled Goering's past and looked excited, "However, I am more ......" Li Kongrong pretended to be a little sad, "I admire your love for your wife more, I have always thought that a hero who knows how to love is a real great man, so ...... I love my wife dearly, too. ”
Unexpectedly, this Chinese knew so much about his past, Goering's eyes contracted, but when he thought that many people knew about his love for Karin, he let down his guard. "Come, to our wife!" Goering picked up his glass in a bit of a gaffe.
"To my wife." After Qi Yan's translation, a group of people raised their wine glasses and drank them immediately.
"Mr. Yongzhi asked you to come to the hotel early tomorrow." After toasting, Zhang Pingqun passed the word for Kong Xiangxi.
"I'll be on time." Li Kongrong knows what this means. In the past, only a limited number of people visited the Junkers company, but now seeing that Goering was not only speechless to refute him, but also had a friendship with Goering, Kong Xiangxi asked him to go to the Junkers together tomorrow morning.
Goering, who was touched by Li Kongrong's heartstrings, had no intention of talking more after toasting, and he politely said goodbye at about half past ten. And Li Kongrong, who was sent back to the dormitory by the embassy car, although he drank alcohol, his brain was extremely fresh. When he was blowing the wind on the road, he was thinking: what can he do in the war of resistance.
Providing intelligence on the Japanese army is one, and using submarines to fight the Japanese is the second, but this is completely insufficient. He wanted to go to Nanjing to see Chang Kaishen a long time ago, but due to his mobility difficulties and lack of a way, he stopped thinking about it for a few days. But the conversation with Du Yuming reminded him of the tragic Battle of Songhu, mocking the country. At the same time that the army could only climb when he arrived, he felt extremely uncomfortable - the resentment that made people vomit blood and die began to emerge for a long time, but fortunately, he was no longer in secondary school after all, and he only thought of a cigarette and began to write a diary.
Judging from the previous plan, all he had to do now was to get Jiang Weiguo's contact number—he was now living in the house of an elderly German noblewoman, supposedly to learn the etiquette of the German nobles; Then, take the British passport to open an account in a Swiss bank to collect money. Because Nazi agents seduced female employees of Swiss banks and obtained a large amount of rich Jews who had saved money in Switzerland. In 1934, Switzerland enacted a bank secrecy law, and in order to prevent the Nazis from obtaining Jewish information through real-name remittance (i.e., the account designated to send money to Mr. XX, if the bank accepts it, then it is certain that XX opened an account in a Swiss bank), so it is stipulated that the account name can be filled in arbitrarily, numbers and letters.
However, this is still unsafe in Li Kongrong's opinion, after all, the account opening requires the information of the head of the household, what if the female bank employee is seduced by someone? But now that he has David Robert Lee's passport in hand, he can naturally sit back and relax. In this era, you don't need to provide a copy of your passport to open a bank account, you just need to sign it.
Open an account with a British passport, but the name of the account is another question. Sun cannon? An empty space? Thinking of this, Li Kongrong smiled. After a while, he felt that since it was to provide information on the Japanese army, he should take a Japanese name, but who should be the better one? Hideki Tojo? Kuniaki Koiso? Matsui Ishine? Kenji ...... Tohihara. Thinking about it, he gradually fell asleep.

Kong Xiangxi went to the Junkers company to buy planes, and the HS123 biplane bomber that appeared in the Spanish Civil War was something that the Air Force was optimistic about. Li Kongrong did not comment much on this, the model he saw may not be sold in Germany, and it is about to resist the war, and no matter how many planes are ordered, it is very likely that it will eventually be canceled. Li Kongrong was cautious in his words and deeds, but Kong Xiangxi talked to him in his spare time. On the way back, Kong Xiangxi deliberately asked him to sit beside him.
"Hansheng is still young and vigorous." Kong Xiangxi started like this. "The army is not a navy, and the party-state is also aware of the current situation in the country. Things have to come little by little, and industry has to be built step by step, and it's useless to complain. ”
"Yes, that's what Mr. Yongzhi said." It must have been Gui Yongqing who sued, but Li Kongrong could only relent. "I will reserve my opinion next time, and I will definitely not cause chaos to the party-state."
"It's not that you have reservations, it's that you don't complain." Kong Xiangxi felt that Li Kongrong's words were inappropriate, but fortunately, his expression was gentle, and what he said did not seem to be angry. "Last time, I only told you about Germany, and I forgot about Japan. Today I want to hear from you, that ...... in Japan" Kong Xiangxi suddenly forgot the words, and Li Kongrong had to remind: "The unification faction. ”
"Yes, the Dominators." Kong Xiangxi nodded, and his cigar was smoked. "Tell me about the Japanese rulers."
The history of the "......" unification faction has a long history, and Li Kongrong thought for a while before saying: "The unification faction is the new military officer who has seen the whole war in Europe, and the so-called unification is to control everything in the country like the European countries did during the war." Many of these officers who studied in Europe in the twenties, such as Nagata Tetsuyama, Okamura Ninji, and Kenkawa Miji, hit it off with Hirohito, who was visiting Europe at that time, and Hirohito needed a new army force to crowd out the Choshu Domain, and Nagata Tetsuyama needed Hirohito to be his backstage ......"
Li Kongrong suddenly stopped, because according to his current statement, he couldn't finish talking in a day. When he stopped, Kong Xiangxi was listening with relish, and Li Kongrong said that he actually knew some things, but he didn't sort them out like this. "Well, why don't you say it?" He asked.
"It's too long-winded." Li Kongrong laughed dryly. "Let's put it this way, the ruling faction is the warlords controlled by the chaebols, they are not brainless and enthusiastic to expand the territory, everything is based on money; The Imperial Daoist faction, on the other hand, wanted to overthrow the chaebol, transform the country, and find a living space for the survival of the Japanese nation. The pro-Dominist faction won the coup, but the lower-ranking officers, especially the junior staff officers, preferred to act on their own initiative. For example, in the September 18 Incident, the cabinet did not have such an idea at that time, but the Kwantung Army did so, and as soon as this evil result opens, there will be more lower-level officers and low-level staff officers in the future who will act as usual. ”
"Well," Kong Xiangxi responded, and he suddenly asked, "How do you know?" ”
"I ......" Li Kongrong began to sweat on his back, and he said: "I have studied the arbitration document of the League of Nations, and combined with the information revealed by the Japanese newspapers and government gazette at that time, I deduced it. ”
"Good!" Glancing at Li Kongrong again, Kong Xiangxi motioned for him to continue.
"The political situation in Japan is now that the pro-establishment faction is in power, and the whole country is unanimous. Many in the Army hoped that Japan would unite with Germany and flank the Soviet Union. But this is only interested in pure martial arts, and the original intention of the upper echelons of Liande is only to keep the Northeast. If the USSR is easy to fight, then it will be flanked, and if the USSR is not easy to fight, they will definitely aim at the South Seas if it is unprofitable. ”
"Is Nanyang easy to fight?" Kong Xiangxi asked again. "Nanyang is the interests of Britain and France, and Japan really dares to fight?"
"In order to attack the Soviet Union, in addition to occupying the necessary resources, Germany also had to completely defeat France, and once France surrendered, then Japan would enter Annam, spy on Malaya, Singapore, and Indonesia's oil fields. Britain's strategy had always been to maintain a balance of power on the continent, so he did not agree with the German occupation of all of Europe, and a war between the two countries was inevitable. If Britain was pinned down by Germany, and France was defeated by Germany, then Japan would naturally dare to invade and occupy the South Seas. ”
"But in the last war, Germany fought for four years and did not occupy ......Paris," Kong Xiangxi thought about the situation Li Kongrong said, feeling that this was not possible.
"Mr. Yongzhi, the last war was trench warfare, this method of warfare is a static war, as long as the manpower and materials on both sides can be supplied, there will never be a winner. But the next big war is no longer a static war, but a war of movement, to be precise, armored sports warfare, Europe has convenient transportation, France is small, especially the French tactical thinking is no different from before, morale is also insufficient, once the war starts, Germany will soon be able to occupy France. ”
"Then what will Japan do to me?" Kong Xiangxi was not convinced by Li Kongrong's speculation, but he still wanted to know Li Kongrong's other judgments.
"Recognize the puppet Manchurians, submit to their so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and then work with them to expel the whites and build an Asia for Asians." Li Kongrong said. After he finished speaking, his heart tightened, and he added, "During this period, the lower-ranking officers were fanatical, and they would definitely go off the rails—they didn't regard us as human beings at all, but only thought that they were conquerors. ”
After Li Kongrong finished speaking, Kong Xiangxi was silent, and cigar smoke filled the entire cabin. He understood the meaning of Li Kongrong's last sentence, but he knew the situation in China better. The chairman of the NPC National Committee is a hard bone, hating all foreign colonizers, and the war against Japan has been planned for a long time, and last year's change in Xi'an set the anti-Japanese policy. The Soviet Union fully supported this, which was also the original intention of the Soviet Union to stop the Red Party and rescue the chairman of the committee, and this time he went to Europe to make material and financial preparations for the future major war.
"You go back and write a detailed report to me, and I'll write about the Sino-Japanese issue." Kong Xiangxi was silent for a long time and gave a task.
"Do your best." Li Kongrong said, "It's just this ......, do you only do factual analysis?" ”
"Analyze the facts, and write down your thoughts." Kong Xiangxi said, "But the two reports should be separated." ”
"Understood." Li Kongrong nodded. It seems that Kong Xiangxi is going to hide the strategy part privately.
"Who else is in Hansheng's family?" After finishing the business, Kong Xiangxi began to shush and ask for warmth.
"Humble ......" Li Kongrong thought of the complicated family, and said bitterly: "There are parents and grandmothers at home, a wife and son in Shanghai, and a ...... who is engaged but has not passed the door."
"Hehe......" Kong Xiangxi immediately smiled, "Don't let General Goering know about this, he thinks you are as dedicated as him." ”
