Even the midnight talk meeting has to chirp crookedly at Chen Shaokuan, how much the boys from the Electric Thunder School should hate the Fujian system! Approaching May, the window was open at night for coolness, and Li Kongrong listened to what the students of the Electric Thunder School said in the room.

As far as he knew, the Fujian department's resentment against the Electric Thunder School was nothing more than the capture of the ship in Guangzhou. At that time, dozens of Fujian people were killed and wounded, and many people were imprisoned in the Guangzhou class room, and the rest were driven back to Fujian like lost dogs. The reason why the ship was seized was because Sun's position was unstable at that time, and Beiyang and Gui wanted to support others to come out against Sun, and Cheng Biguang was assassinated because of this. Of course, Cheng Biguang deserved to die, and if it weren't for the 500,000 marks sent by Sun Wen (this mark was given by Germany to sabotage Duan Qirui's declaration of war on Germany[Note 8]) and some promises from artillery, he would not have led the navy to rebel against the central government to the south.

The seizure of the ship was caused by the secret talks of Wen Shude, Ouyang Ge, Chen Ce and others. Chen Ce was originally a member of the Guangdong Navy, but Wen Shude and Ouyang Ge were completely for speculation. After seizing the ship, Wen Shude, who took control of the navy, collected money and betrayed Sun Wen again, and Ouyang Ge failed to become the captain of the Zhongshan ship after scaring away Ouyang Lin, the cousin of the captain of the Zhongshan ship in the name of corruption, but he failed to become the captain of the Zhongshan ship as he wished, and it was Li Zhilong, a Communist Party member, who succeeded the Zhongshan ship. After waiting for Chang Kaishen to take the position for several years, seeing that Chang Bald did not like the Fujian Navy, Ouyang Ge, who was good at speculation, came out to run a lightning school, planning to replace the Fujian system in the future.

The grievances of the lightning mine against the Fujian system are so far, and the Fujian system has two blows to the electric thunder, one is that it is difficult for people from other provinces to get on the ship, and it is even more difficult to be promoted. Then there was a certain encounter between a foreign warship and the gunboat Tongxin of the Electric Mine School, the foreigner was full of naval style, and it was a guard of honor and a military trumpet, but he did not want the other party but was indifferent and looked at each other, and then the foreigner dropped anchor to visit the Tongxin, and even ate a closed door, so the note was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and finally transferred to the Admiralty.

Chen Shaokuan immediately pushed the boat along the river and demanded that the Executive Yuan abolish the Thunderbolt School, but because the school was under the direct jurisdiction of the military government, the Executive Yuan finally only ordered that in the future, the Thunderbolt School should not wear naval uniforms, and the school and ships should not fly the navy flag and the Thunderbolt School. After operation, the electric mine school finally retained the navy uniform, but the left arm was embroidered with a mine, and the flag of the school and the ship was also printed with a mine logo. The punishment for this incident was very small for the Lightning School, but the Lightning School believed that it was a conspiracy of the Fujian faction to eradicate dissidents.

In Li Kongrong's view, the grievances and grievances between the lightning and Fujian systems are nothing more than dog-eat-dog and hair-filled -- they are all just competing for limited resources, and there is no such thing as a good person or a bad person.

The naval cadets in the room called the Minister of the Navy an old turtle, but his own commander seemed to be smiling, and Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong suddenly felt inexplicable, as if someone said bad things about the Standing Chairman, and the glorious Kuomintang members were indifferent. He touched Li Kongrong with his hand, and when he saw him nodding, he immediately looked at the steward of Zhonghua Building, so the prepared guy immediately opened the door and turned on the light, and the little lightning bolts in the room were immediately startled.

"Stand up! The chief inspects. Zhong Qiangong, who was dressed in a second lieutenant uniform, entered room 302 first, then drank a word, and then stood on the inside of the door and waited for Li Kongrong to enter.

At this time, Li Kongrong is no longer dressed as before, he is dressed in a navy uniform, with a heroic posture and an angry face. The naval cadets inside were immediately startled when they suddenly opened the door and turned on the lights, and then heard Zhong Qiangong shouting 'stand up' and claiming that there was a 'chief patrol', and immediately got up with a roll. After an army lieutenant and a few guys came in, the boots clicked... Da... ......, a naval major with a gold bar and silver star on his shoulder walked in.

This person is definitely not an instructor of the Electric Thunder School, and he is not an instructor, and when he thinks that several people have said about Chen Shaokuan's old turtle just now, everyone thinks that this person may be a Fujian. Thinking of this, these people are even more uneasy; It was only when I looked at it again that I found that this person didn't look like a Min person at all, at least his nose was neither short nor short.

After the students from room 303 also came, the eight students from the Electric Thunder School stood in a row. Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong and the shopkeeper stood in the room and didn't speak, but Li Kongrong walked back and forth in the room, the floor of the military boots clicked, and he scanned the students with substantial eyes in silence. All of them were young people in their twenties, not very tall, and one of them had a baby face. Of course, since they can send them abroad, most of them are naturally excellent in character and learning, so these little young eyes are rolling when he is not paying attention, and they don't know what this naval major is up to and what he will do with himself.

"Humph!" Li Kongrong was silent for more than two minutes, and when he saw that the eight people were sweating on their heads, he snorted and said angrily: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, but I have the spirit to slander Shangguan, I think you are full of food!" The purpose of sending you abroad is to learn your skills, so that you can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to the party and the state. You're just students, and you should care about political right and wrong?!

Second Lieutenant Zhong, I took their passports and documents, and told them all to get out of here and run twenty laps around Chinatown! ”

"Yes! Sir. "The passports and documents of the eight people have already been handed over to Zhong Qiangong, and he very much agrees with Li Kongrong's words, and now that the enemy is present, these naval cadets are still discussing how to bring down the Minister of the Navy Chen Shaokuan, which is really hateful.

A few people in room 302 knew that they were wrong, and they hurriedly went out with a panicked face, but a few people in 303 hesitated, and one of them said boldly after twisting: "Report to the chief, we are just sleeping, and we are not slandering Shangguan." ”

"You still have a point!" Li Kongrong was full of majesty, "The eight of you belong to the same class, and you are like brothers." If one person makes a mistake, all of them sit together. If you are dissatisfied, you can complain to the Ministry of Military Affairs, get out of here now, and don't come back until you finish twenty laps! ”

Whether it makes sense or not, Li Kongrong moved out and didn't even have anything to say about the four innocent people who sat down, and the other few glared at this question. After they left, Li Kongrong took off his military hat and wiped a handful of sweat -- the eight trainees were sweating on their heads, and he was sweating too.

Chinatown is not long, but running around Chinatown for 20 laps in the middle of the night is really hard, but fortunately, no one sees it except for the barking of dogs in the middle of the night. Half an hour later, eight disheveled and panting people returned to the Zhonghua Building, and at this time, Li Kongrong and Zhong Qiangong were already waiting on the first floor, and the passports and documents of the eight people were all on the table.

Seeing that the eight trainees who were tired like dogs reluctantly stood in a row, Li Kongrong, who was holding their documents, turned around twice in front of them before saying: "Let me introduce myself, my brother's name is Li Kongrong, and his name is Hansheng." This time I went abroad as an adjutant to Mr. Kong Yongzhi, the special envoy of the delegation to the United Kingdom, and the purpose of my visit to Germany is confidential for the time being, so I have no comment. This is Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong, who is a confidential officer of the Military Attache in Berlin, and his mission is also classified. ”

When introducing himself, Li Kongrong kept staring at these eight people, and when he said Kong Haha, these students' unconvinced eyes stopped, and a few of them looked arrogant again, which was also deliberate to cover up their own weakness.

"Originally, I heard that you came from Kiel, and I wanted to ask you about something, and then return to China tomorrow for you to complete your studies and practice, but I didn't expect it, but I ......couldn't think of it," Li Kongrong shook his head and lamented: "It's really disappointing! ”

The eight finally nodded. After a deliberate silence for a while, Li Kongrong loudly announced: "From now on, the eight of you will be under my jurisdiction for the time being, and the purpose is to assist the delegation in completing the confidential mission, and only after the matter can you return to China." I will ask the delegation to call to explain the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Electric Mine School, and I will also inform the embassy to postpone the trip back to China for a few days. ”

Li Kongrong, who was walking back and forth in front of the students, undoubtedly said his arrangement, and after speaking, he turned his head to glare at the students and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"Listen... I see. Basically, the eight people who surrendered all answered, after all, they were still students, and they were not frightened when they saw little.

"Louder!" Li Kongrong said again, "Call me sir!" ”

"Got it! Sir! The eight people finally replied loudly, Li Kongrong was extremely comfortable to listen to, he liked this feeling!

"Alright, Second Lieutenant Zhong, the following work is yours." Li Kongrong looked at the clock in the room, it was already half past three, he should go back to write a diary and go to bed. And today's diary must be long, otherwise Major Li will get up stupidly the next day and mess up everything, so how can it be good?

"Yes, please rest assured, sir!" Zhong Qiangong came together in the middle of the night and found that the chief was different from the daytime, and he liked the current chief's style of doing things very much. There is no need to communicate or anything, run twenty laps first, it's really simple and rude! (In the previous discussion, the commander was ready to find out the place where the military regulations did not comply with the military regulations and punish these students, and did not want these students to die to slander the officials)

After a night's work, when Major Li Kongrong woke up to read the diary, he found that the eight students of the Electric Thunder School had been 'tamed' by another self, and now they were writing a report under the supervision of Second Lieutenant Zhong Qiangong. This really surprised the honest Major Li, who had never been so calculating. However, when Ensign Zhong Qiangong, who had been busy all night, told him with a smile that the Electric Mine School had also secretly ordered these people to pay attention to the German submarine fleet (which was also the reason why they postponed their return to China), he was a little happy, not to mention that this information was equivalent to picking up in vain, that is, blocking Ouyang Ge's way on the electric mine side, as a Fujian man, he was extremely happy.

In the morning, Hu Lijian, who had played mahjong all night, struggled to get up after resting for only two hours -- after learning about last night's incident, he immediately avoided this Adjutant Li. In his opinion, this person does not like to be reasonable, he likes to seize the handle of others, and then call to death. What's the matter?! If he was caught gambling (the Fuxing Society prohibits members from gambling), he would run around Chinatown twenty times, not to mention that this old bone couldn't stand it, and even if he could, he would lose all his face. Of course, if he gets up, it is not his responsibility whether Chen Shunqing of the Sailor Hall can also get up.

The Hamburg Sailor's Pavilion is in the port area, but Chen Shunqing is not only the owner of the Sailor's Hall, but also the president of the Hamburg Chinese Association, so the bloodshot Hu Lijian, Hu Mazi, the boss of Hu, took Major Li Kongrong to the place not at the wharf, but the Chinese Association at No. 24 Daliberty Street. He thought that Chen Shunqing was sleeping, but who knew that Chen Shunqing was in good spirits, and he didn't sleep at all.

"In the Lower Navy Lieutenant Commander Li Kongrong, I have met President Chen." In the Chinese Association Hall, where the statue of Guan Gong was placed at the door, Li Kongrong saluted Chen Shunqing, and then showed a letter of introduction from the embassy.

After all, Chen Shunqing was the leading figure, and he was not too surprised after reading the letter, only the smile on his face was even worse, and he said: "As long as I, Chen, can help, Adjutant Li will give orders." ”

Chen Shunqing did not reassure Major Li by saying this, he said: "I want to know about the construction of submarines by German shipyards in Kiel, Bremen, and Hamburg, at least to know which shipyards have built submarines and how much they cost; And then there is the German submarine fleet, where are they generally deployed and what is the training? Finally, there is the submarine force training camp, and the one I know is in Kiel, the naval anti-submarine school, but I don't know what is going on inside, and I don't know if there are similar submarine schools in other places. ”

Major Li Kongrong finished his request in one breath, and then began to reason, "After 918, Japan became more and more aggressive, and in order to defend the country and resist foreign humiliation, the chairman of the committee has now decided to purchase a batch of submarines in Germany, while Mr. Yongzhi and Minister Chen of the Navy hope to collect as much information as possible related to German submarines. President Chan has been in Germany for a long time and has a deep relationship, and President Chan must help in this matter, so please ask President Chan for help. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, the brothers will report it to Mr. Yongzhi and Minister Chen of the Navy, and if the chairman of the committee also asks about the matter, the brothers should also inform Chairman Chen...... There is also Boss Hu's kindness today. ”

"Well said, well said." Chen Shunqing laughed, his eyes blinked, he couldn't see the attitude, but Hu Lijian's eyes were shining, he felt that it was really worth getting up so early, he knocked on the side: "Brother Chen, this kind of thing can only be helped by you, the Japanese have invaded me for many years, and the chairman of the committee is also determined to resist foreign humiliation, brother, don't ...... it"

"Brother Hu's words!" Hu Lijian was interrupted by Chen Shunqing before he could finish speaking. Not to mention anything else, the chairman of the Standing Committee is from Fenghua, and Fenghua and Yinxian are next door. Now that the party-state of the Standing Committee has come to Germany to buy submarines in order to defend against foreign insults, how can he, a small countryman, ignore it and stand idly by? Not to mention that the reputation is not good, even if his own people hear it, they will point fingers at him and slander him. His property in Germany is the Sailor's House, so why can he be the owner of the museum and others cannot? It's not that the Chen family talks about 'profit' and the word 'righteousness' at the same time.

After Chen Shunqing interrupted Hu Lijian, he turned his head to look at Li Kongrong again, and he said: "Since Adjutant Li trusts and values him so much, then wait for me Chen someone for three days, and I will find someone in three days, you can ask, and you can let them take you to see it." ”

"President Chen is refreshing!" Major Li Kongrong was overjoyed, and he immediately took out an envelope and said, "This is ......."

"No need!" Chen Shunqing knew that it was filled with money, but he waved his hand and said no. "Scholars say that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, although I am a rough person, but I still understand this truth."

"Then donate this money to the brothers in need in the guild hall." Major Li Kongrong was not greedy, and his words suddenly made Chen Shunqing look at him a few times - the two were actually the same age, so he suddenly had the idea of worshipping him.
