Chapter XXVIII

The telegram was transferred from Chen Jiliang to Lin Xianxi, and finally to Lin Guogeng, director of the Military Balance Department. www.biquge.info Although Lin Guogeng is the director of the Military Balance Department, he can be handed over to him to deal with it, but he is Lin Xianxi's younger brother, who has been in Xiamen for 14 years, and was only transferred in January of the solar calendar this year.

Since it is in Xiamen, of course it will have some intersections with the Japanese on the other side of the sea, and in order to protect Xiamen's interests, it will even have some contacts with Japan. It is precisely for this reason that at the end of August last year, Huang Taobu, a newly transferred commander of the 157th Division of the Guangdong Army, pretended to invite Lin Guogeng to the division headquarters for talks, seized him as soon as he arrived at the division headquarters, and then disarmed the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Marine Brigade.

Although the matter was coordinated and handled by the Nanjing Supreme Command, the 157th Division was transferred out of Xiamen, and Huang Tao himself was removed from his post, but for some gestures, Chen Shaokuan also transferred Lin Guogeng out of Xiamen, and then became the director of the Military Balance Department and a researcher in the combat training room.

Wang Zhiguang's telegram finally reached Lin Guogeng, and he looked at it a few times and did not speak. Chen Shaokuan glanced at him, then at Chen Jiliang and Lin Xianxi, and then took out Li Kongrong's telegram and said, "Let's take a look at this one again." ”

The matter reported by Wang Zhiguang is very important, and the matter reported by Li Kongrong is very small, but the background in the telegram is completely different, Li Kongrong has been involved in the British Secret Intelligence Bureau, and his relationship with the Secret Intelligence Bureau is the foundation of Ninghai's survival.

"What provides intelligence on the Japanese Navy? I think it's about the same as providing German naval intelligence. Lin Xianxi's words made Chen Shaokuan's expression a little ugly, he never thought that Li Kongrong would engage in espionage activities in Germany.

"He can't withdraw." Chen Jiliang also said, "He withdrew, and we can't contact the UK." Now that the situation has been opened in Germany, he should be left there. ”

"Stay in that robber submarine?" Lin Xianxin smiled. He had said before that Li Kongrong would cause trouble, and he didn't want to really cause trouble, and this telegram was proof of this. "This matter ......" Lin Xianxin thought of the current naval revival plan, and wanted to say anything more but couldn't say anything.

"The theft of submarines will definitely shake the national government, and the reputation of the Navy will also be damaged internationally, which country will be willing to accept our cadets in the future?" Chen Shaokuan saw that Lin Guogeng, director of the Military Balance Division, did not speak, so he spoke by himself. He also threatened to kill whoever stopped him, which was simply a lack of military discipline and a harm to his comrades. Xiang Ling, according to military regulations, what kind of punishment should be imposed? ”

Lin Guogeng had been presiding over the government in Xiamen before, and within a few months of arriving at the Military Balance Division, he couldn't answer Chen Shaokuan's question at once. Seeing that his younger brother was embarrassed, Lin Xianxi coughed and said, "According to military regulations, he should be arrested first, and then tried by the Military Heng Division, Brother Houfu, do you really want to transfer him back?" ”

"If you don't transfer him back, he will make trouble in Germany sooner or later." Chen Shaokuan said angrily, "I want to shoot my colleagues, this is simply lawless!" If he makes such a fuss, how can the Admiralty and Navy discipline be maintained? ”

Chen Shaokuan's voice was yelling, and although Li Kongrong worked very hard, he always had a taste of being out of tune, as if this was not a strict and disciplined naval officer, but a soldier who could do whatever he wanted, as evidenced by his private friendship with the British Secret Intelligence Bureau. This is unbearable for Chen Shaokuan, after all, he is a person who is strict with himself, does not smoke, does not recruit. Prostitute, not corrupt, and extremely decent. As for whether it will be dereliction of duty, the matter of mines has been clearly proven, but everything was a mess in a big war, and who remembers that the Admiralty did not have a single usable mine before the war.

Chen Shaokuan was very angry, but Chen Jiliang, Lin Xianxin and Lin Guogeng did not immediately echo, but chose to remain silent. In addition to Lin Guogeng's ignorance of the naval reconstruction plan, the other two knew the importance of Li Kongrong's role in the naval reconstruction, and as the drafter of the plan, he maintained the plan everywhere, as evidenced by the British Royal Navy's implicit support for the Ninghai.

"It's better to change the ......" Chen Jiliang originally wanted to say that he would change the military attachΓ©, but thinking of the relationship between Li Kongrong and Goering, DΓΆnitz and others, he couldn't say it anymore. Instead, he said, "We should send more people over, at least, to keep him under control in his position." ”

"This will not work, Germany has already refused to accept military personnel." Lin Xianxin said. "I think it's better for me to go over."

"Can you go?" Chen Jiliang was surprised, "Didn't you say that military personnel are not accepted?" ”

"I'll go as a diplomat, and I'll be there when the contract is signed, and I'm going for business affairs, not military personnel to be trained." Lin Xianxin said. "I'm going to go to Switzerland once and see what he's doing everywhere."

"What do you say about the robbery of submarines?" Chen Jiliang felt that what Lin Xianxi said was also reasonable, and asked another thing.

"I don't think it's better not to talk about this." Lin Xianxi looked at Chen Shaokuan this time and replied, "The submarine has not been built, and it is impossible for him to steal it." Besides, it is really unsafe to exchange telegrams for such a thing, and once it is detected by the Germans, the consequences will be unimaginable. I'll tell him about it when I get to Germany. ”

After Lin Xianxin finished speaking, Chen Shaokuan did not nod, he thought in his heart that this matter should be punished strictly and quickly. But Chen Jiliang on the side held the same view as Lin Xianxi, and he said: "I think it's okay to deal with it like this." Besides, it's not impossible to drive back after the submarine is built, this is a submarine that we ordered, can this be considered a robbery? In my opinion, it may not be, at most it is just driving away without authorization, but this is a decision, which will inevitably affect Sino-German diplomatic relations, and the chairman of the NPC committee will inevitably be furious. ”

The Navy has a saying very early on, called 'Chen Shaokuan is respectful, an old man, a foreigner, and Chang Zhongzheng'. Many times he knew that Chang Kaishen had bad intentions, but on the scene, Chen Shaokuan still had to try his best to protect Chang Kaishen's face. Not to mention, the transfer of Lin Guogeng from Xiamen is a concrete embodiment of this idea. Whether the German submarine was forcibly stolen or forcefully opened, it violated Chen Shaokuan's psychological bottom line - this is something that makes both foreigners and Chang Kaishen unhappy.

"This must not be done!" Chen Shao waved his wide hand vigorously to show his determination.

"If this thing is not done, then with the current situation, there is almost no possibility of the submarine being delivered." Chen Jiliang reminded. "The Japanese navy in the eastern Pacific searched for it, and Ninghai had to be trapped in South America and hide in Tibet. In the absence of submarines, what will we take to capture Japanese cruise ships later? ”

"The reputation of the Navy is priceless, even if we can only get the day when Japan and the United States go to war, we can't do anything to steal!" Chen Shaokuan insisted.

If Sausheng's report is correct, soon the three countries of Germany, Italy and Japan will form an alliance, and within two years Germany will also start a war in Europe, and the Second European War will begin. Stealing the submarine that belongs to us will not tarnish the reputation of the navy, and when the time comes, Britain and France will say that we have the courage to do a good job, so that the Germans have lost two submarines for breaking diplomatic relations in the Atlantic. Chen Jiliang's voice was high, and even if his back injury had not healed, he still stood up and spoke. Brother Houfu, there is only one big ship left in the navy now, and the Japanese offensive is aggressive, is it the reputation of the navy that matters, or is it important to resist Japan? ”

"A report is a report, and facts are facts. Even if the situation is exactly what the report says, I don't agree. Chen Jiliang's voice was high, and Chen Shaokuan's voice was also very loud. If he wants to do this, then retire first, and don't have anything to do with the Navy! ”

"You ......" Chen Shaokuan's temper is extremely stubborn, and he can't get back the eight cows that he believes, Chen Jiliang's temper is hot, he was already suppressing his temper just now, and now seeing that Chen Shaokuan wants to be stubborn to the end, he immediately retorted: "The navy must be rebuilt, and the sooner the better!" Those two submarines will drive back no matter what, killing people and setting fires! Without submarines, what are we going to do with it? When will it take for Japan and the United States to go to war? According to Shao Sheng, it will be at least four years. Now the Ministry of Military Affairs is going to run some kind of training regiment, and by that time, will the navy still be the navy? ”

Chen Jiliang was telling the truth, and Lin Xianxin on the side also nodded in agreement. The Central Training Corps is actually Chang Kaishen's trick to annex dissidents, previously the Army, and now it is the Navy's turn. Although the matter was rejected by the navy, when Japan and the United States go to war in the future, it will depend on the Americans to help the navy rebuild, and this training regiment will definitely really do it.

"I just don't agree!" Chen Shaokuan said toughly. "The Navy would rather not rebuild than lose face internationally." After Chen Shaokuan said this, he wanted to leave with his sleeves up, but this was his office, and he didn't remember it until he walked to the door, and he had to go back and sit down heavily on the chair, without saying a word.

"If the Navy is not rebuilt, then write a report to the Ministry of Military Affairs to apply for disbandment, I will be the first to retire!" Chen Jiliang waved his hand, and what he said was even more outrageous, and he sat down angrily.

"As for it?" Lin Xianxin had to speak on the side. "The submarine is only a third of the work done right now, and even if you want to, you can't steal it, so why be angry about this? Shao Sheng wants to do this, but he also hates the Japanese to the core. His wife died, his son died again, and his husband couldn't have beaten him to Tokyo. I don't think I'll fight over this matter, I'll make a decision after I go to Germany. ”

Lin Xianxin gave both of them a step, and after a while, Chen Shaokuan said, "Then when will you leave?" ”

"I'll be on my way right away." Lin Xianxin said, "But things are not in a hurry, I want to go to Switzerland first to have a look, and then go to Germany, and I will have a good talk with him when I get there." Houfu, I always feel that things over there are not so simple, Shao Sheng has not paid off for stealing submarines, we don't know a lot of things, do you think, since Shao Sheng can persuade the British Secret Intelligence Service to provide information to Ning Hai, doesn't he have the ability to persuade the British Secret Intelligence Service to help him steal submarines? ”

Lin Xianxin is very shrewd, as soon as he said this, Chen Shaokuan and Chen Ji's conscience jumped, and the more they thought about it, the more reasonable it became - they used to secretly support the Ninghai by selling German naval intelligence in exchange for Britain, and now it is likely to sell German submarines in order to get more ......things. Thinking of this, Chen Shaokuan sighed, he couldn't figure out how such a restless person came out of the dignified navy. (To be continued.) )
