Li Kongrong promised to send the forecast to the Chancellery the next morning, not wanting that the next day would be the Christmas holiday, and when he called the Chancellery to look for Goering, he was told that he should go to Goering's apartment. As a result www.biquge.info he had to go to the suburbs and take the gifts that Kong Xiangxi had left in Germany earlier to give to German dignitaries.

"Oh, it's a girl?" After coming to the suburbs, Li Kongrong realized that this was not an apartment at all, this was a noble castle. After passing through more than a dozen doors, in the luxurious living room, Li Kongrong saw Goering dressed casually. Seeing the result of Li Kongrong's 'prediction', he was a little regretful. "If that's wrong......" he asked, his eyes narrowing.

"Let your punishment be punished." Li Kongrong is still confident in the face of Goering, after all, he is not a ghost like Hitler.

"And what month will she be born?" Goering asked, not sure if it was because he was suspicious or wanted to know more.

"The first week of June, Your Excellency." Li Kongrong sweated in his heart. Fortunately, he still remembered that someone had teased Goering's little Lori daughter in the military arena, and he was still arguing about the age of this little Lori.

"Amy, this prophet from the East says that our child will be a girl, and that she will be born in the first week of June." Goering called his wife, Amy Goering, an opera actress who had married Goering in 1935.

"Is this true?" Amy Goering looked at Li Kongrong suspiciously, and Li Kongrong immediately got up and bowed when he saw her coming, and then gave his follower Zhong Qiangong another look, and Zhong Qiangong immediately brought the gift.

"Merry Christmas, beautiful lady." Li Kongrong said a lame honorific and carefully gave gifts: one was an ancient landscape painting in the early Qing Dynasty, and the other was embroidery from Suzhou, which was given to Hitler without being eliminated.

It is the habit of foreigners to open gifts in front of them, and when they see delicate flowers and birds embroidered on colorful silks, Amy Goering is full of smiles, and she also compares them to her body, which feels very appropriate, and the problems of boys and girls are immediately forgotten. Goering, on the other hand, likes antiques, but has no concept of oriental landscape painting, and he cares that his wife has a favorite gift.

"Lee, your leader doesn't seem to want peace talks?" After Amy Goering left, in the luxurious and classical living room, Göring began to speak.

"Maybe." Chang Kaishen's attitude can't hide from smart people, let alone Goering and his ilk. "The government can't afford to lose the public opinion of North China, and our leaders have a lot of concerns about that, and Japan, they want China to be their India."

"It's better than being a republic of the Soviet Union." Goering smiled, not knowing whether it was kindness or warning.

"Your Excellency, I will convey your kind advice to our leader." Li Kongrong didn't know how to answer, so he had to accept it first. "But I have to reiterate that my Government, both in its leaders and in its soldiers, has a good impression and sincere goodwill towards His Excellency the Führer Hitler, His Excellency, and to the ordinary people of Germany. We hope that with the help of Germany, China will be able to change the current situation and become a great power in East Asia, and that both countries will have closer interests, both economically and geostrategically. ”

"But that was after the end of the Sino-Japanese War." Goering nodded slightly, "You and Japan are our friends, and we hope that there will be no war between the two friends, because then there will only be one result, and that is the Soviet Union." ”

"If Japan agrees to the terms we have relayed, we may be able to end the war." Li Kongrong talked about yesterday's response, but to Goering's surprise, he added: "But I don't think it's possible. Even if the Japanese government wants to cease the war, the officers of the Japanese army may not necessarily cease the war, and more specifically, the Japanese government cannot control its army, as evidenced by the September 18 incident. ”

"If so, then I will order the Ministry of Economy to stop arms sales to China." Goering brought it up again, and it seemed that it would always be this deadlock. Between China and Japan, Germany will inevitably choose Japan over China.

"Your Excellency, our country was originally a friend of Germany, and even if it did not help the Soviet Union in its strategy, it provided indispensable raw materials for German industry. It's really unwise to force your friends and then make them rely on their enemies. After Japan occupies our country, it will not take into account Germany's interests, especially its economic interests, because Japan will desperately hope to make up for the war losses by squeezing our country, and Germany will only gain nothing in the process. Your Excellency may not think that these economic interests are important, but in fact they are extremely important, and the lack of sufficient non-ferrous metals will only affect the German army's operations. ”

"Germany is not going to war." Goering repeated Hitler's lies, but they did not seem to him to be lies, and he was opposed to war by advocating only military threats.

"Your Excellency, war is not the result of whom, but the natural product of all kinds of contradictions." Li Kongrong did not want to find out who started the war, he just wanted Goering to know the importance of non-ferrous metal reserves in the event of a war. "Non-ferrous metal reserves are critical to the role of the war effort. If your country stops exporting arms to China, then China will naturally stop exporting minerals to Germany. However, Japan will not be able to occupy Hunan and Jiangxi, which are rich in tungsten, tin, and antimony, in the short term, which is very detrimental to your country. ”

"China is not the only one in the world that is rich in these minerals." There was some displeasure in Goering's words, which he felt was a threat. "We can look for these minerals in other countries."

"Yes, but the countries that are rich in these three metals are the British colonies and the Soviet Union, and other countries may have some small amounts of mining, but they need foreign exchange to buy." Li Kongrong patiently explained, without a trace of anger. "The loss of China is very bad for German industry. It is not impossible for China and Japan to have an armistice, and when Japan feels that the war is meaningless one day, and the officials under it are also famous, China and Japan will have a substantial armistice. Now it is the Japanese who are attacking aggressively, and we are just tired of defending. ”

"A substantial armistice......" Goering muttered the phrase.

"Yes. To stop the war is actually very simple, that is, our army resists the offensive of the Japanese army, and at the same time the Japanese government is tired, which is impossible to achieve in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but can be achieved in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. At that time, there will be an armistice between China and Japan, and your country will still have two friends. Japan, after withdrawing from the naval treaty, is isolated in the whole world, no matter how much they protest against your country's support for our country, it will still be a friend of your country, and it cannot be an enemy of your country, can he form an alliance with the Soviet Union? What is in his interest in doing so? Can he form an alliance with Britain and the United States? What are the interests of Britain and the United States in doing so?

He can only be a helper for your country to attack the Soviet Union, but this helper is not reliable, they hate the inhabitable Siberia, and they like the Anglo-American South Sea colonies full of oil, rice and rubber. There are many examples of small countries commanding large countries and small countries controlling large countries in international politics, and you must not repeat the mistake of Wilhelm II more than 20 years ago, and involve yourself in a war against the whole world because of your allies. ”

Germany naturally chose a stronger Japan between China and Japan, and Li Kongrong's view was that Germany was right to choose Japan, but it should not accommodate Japan, but should oppress Japan, so that he could accept the reality that Germany supported China, and then control Japan, because Japan had no choice. This is a novel statement, Goering looked at Li Kongrong and pondered for a while, and said, "Is this really the case? ”

"Exactly." Li Kongrong nodded, "Japan is not Italy, even if Japan betrays, it will not have much stake in Germany, and the hatred between Japan and the Soviet Union has been condensed as early as several major wars; It was the Americans who opened the door of Japan, so they were hostile to the United States; Britain had been an ally for a long time, but at the Washington Conference, Britain abandoned Japan in order to curry favor with the United States, and they hated Britain for it.

Perhaps hatred can be masked by interests, but what Japan now wants to build is an Asia led by Japan, and in this regard, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union are its enemies. It is not your country that wants Japan, but Japan wants your country. The situation they most wanted was similar to the previous war: the last one was the defeat of Germany by Britain, France, and the United States, and then Japan accepted to inherit the German colonies in Asia; This time they wanted Germany to defeat Britain and France in Europe, and Japan to accept the Anglo-French-Dutch colonies in Asia. ”

Li Kongrong spoke very slowly, and at the same time he thought about the impact of these words on Goering, on Germany, and even on the course of World War II, but thinking that the occupation of the LinkedIn French and Dutch colonies was the inevitable result of the Axis powers' declaration of war on Britain and France, and Japan's occupation of the LinkedIn French and Dutch colonies added to the problem -- worried that the United States would use the Philippines as a base to cut off the connection between Japan and the South Seas, so it used an aircraft carrier formation to surprise attack Pearl Harbor in a vain attempt to promote peace with the United States. As long as this does not change, the course of World War II in the Asia-Pacific region will not change at least.

"I'll consider your suggestion carefully." Goering was not proficient in diplomacy, or rather, none of the Nationalists were proficient in diplomacy, including Hitler. After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes: "But you have to be clear that in the case of a war between China and Japan, it will be difficult for Germany to deliver submarines to China." ”

After Goering finished speaking, he asked the housekeeper to send off the guests, and Li Kongrong's back was cold. Previously, he was worried that his words would interfere with history, and his vest was sweating, but as soon as Goering's last advice came out, those hot sweats instantly turned cold. He went out to the outside of the castle and was shivered by the wind, and when he sat in the car, he quickly lit a cigarette and took several puffs before he felt a little warm.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Qiangong said uneasily: "Ge Fat is not happy? ”

Ge Fatzi was the first to be called out by Li Kongrong, and then everyone followed. Hearing Zhong Qiangong say Ge Fat, Li Kongrong smiled and shook a few times, "Ge Pang is very happy, he finally gave me a piece of advice, which can be regarded as a reward." After he finished speaking, he took another puff of his cigarette and said: "Actually, as long as you are not a Jew, except for Hitler, such Nazis are still very easy to deal with." ”

Li Kongrong trembled badly, Zhong Qiangong heard that everything was going well with him, and he put down his worries and drove quietly. Li Kongrong sat in the car and smoked all the time, and then slowly pondered the meaning of Goering's last sentence. It seems that Germany has been persuaded internally by the Japanese not to deliver the two ocean-going submarines ordered to the Chinese Navy in the event of a war between China and Japan. This was what he had guessed before, but now that he had been confirmed by Goering, his heart skipped a few beats, and he was at a loss.

Is this message to be reported to the Admiralty? Even if Göring was true, would it not be able to change this decision of the Germans? How will this affect the training of naval officers and non-commissioned officers in Germany? Could it be that if you really want to steal those two submarines, how can you steal them? These questions were swirling in Lee's mind until he saw off Chung and Susan Esposi from Munich.

"I have to take a vacation, I have to have a new Christmas!" The Italian woman, who had become a probationary employee, complained at the sight of Li Kongrong that she had spent the entire week in Munich in order to talk to Schmidt about the acquisition.

"What do I want?" The black-hearted boss only cares about the results of his work, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the employees.

"The railway company has been commissioned to transport it to Berlin, and there is all the information." Susan continued to complain. "I have to take a vacation to go back to Florence."

"How much did it cost?" Li Kongrong still didn't hear her request for leave.

"Sixty-five thousand marks." Susan replied, "In addition, I need to support him with 20,000 marks a year." ”

"Sponsor him?" Li Kongrong didn't expect to talk about it or funding, but when he thought that the funding could be missed, he had nothing to say. "You can take a vacation and you can go back to Florence, but you have to be prepared to go to Japan once."

"Japan?" Susan's eyes widened, she had always thought that her sphere of activity was Germany, and she did not expect to go back to Japan.

"Of course it's Japan, Japan has a very interesting thing, and I need to find a way to buy it from the Japanese Naval Technical Research Institute, or steal it back." Li Kongrong said. "But it's obviously more troublesome than the last thing, before you go to Japan, you have to meet a few dignitaries in Italy, and then ask them to introduce you to Japan, so that the Japanese will value you and believe in you. Of course, you should also find an assistant or two, preferably one who knows radio shortwave, but you don't need to know too much. ”

"The Japanese Navy? This is an act of espionage. Susan had no objection to going to Japan, and she wouldn't come to Germany if she was afraid to go out.

"Perhaps, but the Japanese Navy doesn't take this project seriously, you can first get to know the Japanese man in charge of research and development, who speaks German and studied at the University of Dresden. If you don't have a chance, then stay friends with him until the Japanese abandon the project, and then when your friend is full of disappointment, you show up to him again, tell him that he didn't fail, and find a way to buy it. Li Kongrong roughly introduced the routine of obtaining a Japanese multi-cavity magnetron, and felt that this matter was not difficult.

"Then I ......" Susan didn't know why Li Kongrong knew everything, she hesitated and nodded: "Then what reason do I buy it?" ”

"What reason?" This is a problem, Li Kongrong thought for a while, and said with a smile: "You said that you want to build a microwave oven." (To be continued.) )
