Chapter 39: Routines
Lin Zhun, who had no way out, actually changed his mind, but Li Kongrong had no way out at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info that night everyone chartered a hotel in the town of Neustadt, and after arranging the naval cadets, he went directly to the Admiralty in Berlin with Lin Zhun. Unfortunately, however, Colonel DΓΆnitz was not in Berlin or Kiel, and the Secretary of the Admiralty, Raeder, did not want to meet with the Chinese Navy, even though Li Kongrong was still acting as Navy attachΓ© at this time, and his replacement was never replaced. In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Goering, and after waiting for more than a week, after all the naval cadets had moved back to the old dormitory in Berlin, Goering agreed to see him.
"What a great prophet you are." This was the first thing Goering said when he saw him - the day before yesterday, his child was born, and he was really a daughter, which is why he was willing to see Li Kongrong.
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency Marshal!" Li Kongrong greeted him politely, he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt. "Your Excellency, I would like to know what has happened recently? The submarines we ordered were shut down, and after three months the shipyard was about to exceed the contracted delivery deadline, and the Navy's promised courses were abruptly interrupted, and my men were kicked out of the base with nowhere to stay. Is this the hospitality of the noble Aryans? β
Cheng Tianfang, who did not resign, and Tan Bo and Lin Zhun, commercial counselors, accompanied Li Kongrong to see Goering, they had already touched many walls at Ribbentrop, so they hoped to rely on the friendship between Li Kongrong and Goering to open the situation, and they didn't want Li Kongrong to be angry as soon as they met, and the two were immediately shocked.
"Quack ......" Goering habitually mocked, but this time he was not laughing at Li Kongrong, he said: "Li, do you want me to fight with the duel?" Why can't China have more soldiers like you, perhaps, Nanjing will not be occupied by Japan, and Xuzhou will too. β
"It was too late for us to get rid of the enslavement of the Qing Dynasty, but sooner or later, China will have its own Kaiser Wilhelm." Li Kongrong angrily said something that made Goering continue to laugh, but soon he restrained his smile, because Li Kongrong said loudly: "If fate does not change, the German soldiers will never be able to occupy Moscow!" β
"Moscow?" Goering no longer laughed, and through the prophecy of his own children, he believed in Li Kongrong's witchcraft, but it was also possible that it was a mistake, just a coincidence. Now that Li Kongrong mentioned Moscow, of course he had to ask for details.
"I don't want to say anything about Moscow, I just want to say that God was Aryan for all three years, and the operation this September will be very successful; Next year too, next September will be very successful; The same will be true for next year, and next May will be very successful; But in the future, ......" Li Kongrong didn't say anything more after he spit out these words, and everyone around him looked at him.
"What's going to happen in September of this year?" Goering looked at him suspiciously, "What will happen next September?" And May 1940, so what will happen? Three years from now, what will happen in three years? β
"Your Excellency, you will know when the time comes. I just want to remind you that after three years God is no longer an Aryan, and without doing something, it will be difficult for Germany to change its long-ordained fate. Li Kongrong was silent after speaking, giving Goering enough space to imagine, and then he said: "Your Excellency, I now ask you to urge the German government to abide by the previous agreement, lift the arms ban, not recall military advisers in China, and remind the navy and shipyards to continue to complete the previous contracts. β
"I don't want to talk about these things until you explain these prophecies clearly." Goering continued to be suspicious, his face displeased.
"Me too!" Li Kongrong did not show weakness, he was not here to solve the problem today, but to throw the bait.
Goering stood, and so did Li Kongrong. The gazes of the two men met in the air, like two sharp swords fighting fiercely. Goering was old after all, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze, but his words were very unkind: "Lee, you have offended me, and you have offended the great Germany, and I am very unhappy about it!" β
"Nope! This is just a reminder that I have always had a good impression of Germany and I don't want her to end up that way. Li Kongrong said. Then he glanced at Cheng Tianfang, Tan Boyu, and Lin Zhun who were at a loss, got up and said, "I sincerely hope that the arms trade issue, the recall of military advisers, and the naval issue can be satisfactorily resolved, and Mr. Ambassador and I will wait for your news at the embassy." β
Li Kongrong got up and said goodbye, and the marshal's staff that Goering was holding waved it, probably trying to stop Li Kongrong and the others, but he didn't say anything after all, and the marshal's staff finally changed to an outward movement, signaling Li Kongrong and the others to leave.
Cheng Tian didn't speak until he was inside, and when he was outside, he stomped his feet and said, "Brother Hansheng, you made Goering unhappy, how can we meet in the future?!" β
"Brother Hansheng did the right thing!" Li Kongrong hadn't answered yet, Tan Boyu said first. "Otherwise, it will be a meeting in the future, and nothing will be gained, but it is better to let Goering think every day about what will happen in those months!"
Tan Boyu reminded Cheng Tianfang when he said this. You must know that the routine of the scribes to sell their studies is like this--first, they are crazy and say, 'Ah, it's not good, your national pill'; the monarch was inexplicable, and asked, 'Why did the gentleman say this?' βοΌ The scribe was even more arrogant, and shook his head and said, 'No, it's still a pill,' and the king was at last in a hurry, and stood up and bowed down and pleaded, 'Please teach the widow!' Widow must xxx'
Thinking of the scenes in the Warring States Policy and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cheng Tianfang suddenly realized: "This ...... Does this really work? β
"If it's useless, it's useless." Li Kongrong said indifferently, Chang Kaishen had already agreed to the carp plan, and his situation among the Jews had been opened; To the Nazis, he wanted nothing more than to steal submarines. Ge Pang believes it, and if he doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe it.
"But this is about the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War!" Cheng Tianfang lamented from the bottom of his heart, he has lost a lot of hair in the past few months, and he has lost more than a dozen pounds. Fortunately, last month, China won a big victory in Taierzhuang, Xuzhou.
"Now I can only use dead horses as live horse doctors. Goering was fooled, so he made some less drastic demands. If Goering is not fooled, then we will wait for the final severance of diplomatic relations with Germany. Li Kongrong said. He felt that Cheng Tianfang was really too cowardly, even if the country is weak and the diplomatic pattern is limited, there may not be no way to improve relations, diplomacy has two levels, both on the open and in the dark, China and Germany have a solid foundation for goodwill, the work is not difficult to do, and the government is not hot and the economy can be hot.
"Brother Hansheng, you can't say that. Now all the methods that can be thought of have been considered, and the great victory of Taierzhuang made the Japanese determined to ask Germany to recall its military advisers in China. Cheng Tianfang sighed, his eyes fixed on Li Kongrong. I'm counting on you now! β
The great victory of Taierzhuang was last month, because of the investment of the 88th Army, the Japanese did not only kill more than 2,000 people and wounded less than 10,000 people as in history, this great victory was bounded by Zaozhuang advanced by the 88th Army, and the southernmost 10th Infantry Wing was completely wiped out, and most of the 63rd Infantry Wing that was rescued was annihilated, and only a few scattered Japanese troops who hid in the mountains survived -- the 88th Army attacked quickly and retreated quickly, and after making a symbolic attack in the direction of Tengxian on the third day of the assault, it was transferred along the railway to Lanfeng on the same day. At that time, Hitler was visiting Rome and heard from the Japanese representative that German military advisers had gone directly to the front line to direct the Chinese army in armored warfare, and he immediately ordered Goering to ban the Sino-German arms trade, recall military advisers in China, and stop training military personnel in Germany.
"Then I can only count on Goering to be fooled." Li Kongrong said. "If he doesn't go to me, there is no way, and I can't go to see him in the future, so I can only wait for him to beg me, and I won't see him if he begs me, unless he shows sincerity."
Li Kongrong had the face of a lawyer ruffian, Tan Boyu and Lin Zhun wanted to laugh but were not funny, Cheng Tianfang looked at it for a while, and finally turned around helplessly and went back to the embassy.
"Brother Hansheng, couldn't you have predicted earlier?" After Cheng Tian let go, Tan Boyu handed Li Kongrong and Lin Zhun a cigarette.
"Earlier? I want to be sooner, but who will let ...... Who told the fortune teller to count that time? Li Kongrong saw that the embassy's car was actually gone, so he said to Tan Boyu: "Brother Jassi is really angry this time, I'll send you back." β
"Brother Jasic is already anxious about the Germans, this thing is really ......" After the ban on the arms trade, China can no longer order arms in Germany, and the arms originally ordered can only be shipped out through a third party, but fortunately, Li Kongrong reminded early and prepared early, and the arms were rushing to transport arms in the past few months, and these arms greatly supported the domestic war of resistance.
"Don't worry, there will be a turnaround around October." In the smoke, Li Kongrong spat out a message.
"October?" Tan Boyu didn't have the heart to smoke, and looked at Li Kongrong like Cheng Tianfang - he had long been an expert on German issues.
"Yes. Germany has invested 400 million marks in China and has a huge market for industrial products in China, but after Japan occupies most of our country, it will not spit out these markets, and they will even squeeze out the capital of other countries. Therefore, Sino-German relations will still turn around, but not anywhere, and at least the arms trade will not be as blatant as before. Li Kongrong said, which made Tan Boyu a little disappointed. I have written a report to Dean Kong, so please pay attention to it when you report to China. β
"Understood, understood." Tan Boyu saw that Li Kongrong's cigarette was almost finished, so he took out a cigarette case and smoked one for him. This is a good cigarette brand in Germany, Juno, because of the high tobacco tax, a pack has to be sold for 1.5 marks (the Nazis actually called on the whole people to quit smoking, it is really hateful, how can such a regime not be overthrown!). But what caught Li Kongrong's attention was not the cigarette case, but the match that Tan Boyu was holding, with an auspicious cloud on it, which was not a German product.
"Imported matches?" Li Kongrong took the box of matches, which is a common pattern in China every year.
"Tianjin Hotel customized, it happened at the end of last year." Tan Boyu said with a smile: "Brother Hansheng hasn't been back to Berlin for a long time, and today the younger brother will be the east and go to the Tianjin Hotel for a small spoon." β
Unexpectedly, Tan Boyu still had something to worry about eating, Li Kongrong shook his head and said: "It's free to eat, I still have dozens of people there who don't know how to settle down, I'm settling down first." β
Li Kongrong wanted to leave, but Tan Boyu didn't let him, he said: "It's all big men, what is there to settle down." The younger brother still has some things to ask, just so you can talk while eating. β
What can Tan Boyu do, his thing is to be close to Li Kongrong. Li Kongrong scratched his head and was still relieved, he said: "It's still not good, everyone just arrived in Berlin, and the people are very confused, and I, the chief officer, have to go and see." Otherwise, if something happens at this time, we won't be able to go around. In this way, the next time the younger brother is the east, he will be at the Tianjin Hotel. β
After Li Kongrong finished speaking, Lin Zhun also spoke, and the two of them sent Tan Boyu away with a smile. Back at the old dormitory on Spandau Street (the Jewish house was not rented), the trainees who had nothing to do after getting off the bus gathered around, and these people knew that he and Lin Zhun had gone to see Goering today.
"Sir......" Jiang Jing wanted to ask him about the outcome of the matter, but it can be seen that there are other chiefs, and it is not easy to ask.
"Brother Hansheng, did the Germans agree?" The final questioner was Gao Guangyou, who was a major, second only to Li Kongrong.
"Let's go to the classroom." Li Kongrong couldn't say anything, so he had to let everyone go to the living room earlier.
"I've been to Goering today, and he's still the same virtue." Li Kongrong looked at the students present and said. "The Nazis were all pro-Japanese, so he didn't promise anything." Speaking of this, the dozens of people present were all disappointed, but Li Kongrong continued: "But things will take a turn for the better, probably in four or five months." However, I can't guarantee whether it will be able to go to sea for training at that time, but the shipyard should start construction, and it may be able to be launched by the end of this year. β
Li Kongrong said his guess, which made the students sweep away the decadence and unconsciously applaud. This made Lin Zhun on the side smile bitterly, he was also in the Air Force building just now, Goering didn't say anything, he really didn't know where Li Kongrong got his confidence.
"In the past few months, this is mainly arranged, the most important thing is that everyone will find a way to make the wooden model of the submarine in the base, and with the wooden mold, the students in Group B can act according to the model, so that the students in Group A can complete the following courses. The students in Group A should also organize their previous notes, take out what you have learned from Group B, and teach each other to complete the lessons in the past few months.
In addition, in Germany, it is not only the German Navy that understands submarines. Don't forget that in the last World War, Germany had hundreds of submarines at sea. Of those captains who did not die, there were always some who were not accepted into the German Navy because of injuries and illnesses and for political reasons. We can find a way to find these people and ask them to be our instructors, and let them teach us that if we fly submarines to fight, they all have actual combat experience. β
"Sir, where is such a person?" I didn't expect that there would be such a way, and several students became excited.
"Where?" Li Kongrong smiled, "Do you still have to ask this?" In the old newspapers. The captain of the submarine who sank the most enemy ships will definitely report the honor, you go to the library to find the old newspapers from the past, turn out everything related to the submarine, and then call one by one to find people, those who have not served, I and the honorable general will go back and please.
