"It's good if you're back!" Lin Zhun felt a handful of sweat, and his military hat was also taken off. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info his voice was hoarse, and it was obvious that he was shouting too many slogans during this time. "The country has turned the world upside down...... what about Brother Depei, and Zhong Ming, they didn't come back together?"

The abolition of the Admiralty and the resignation of Chen Shaokuan stimulated Lin Zhun's nerves, and he couldn't figure out why the government didn't support the reconstruction of the navy -- for a maritime country like Japan, the importance of the navy is undoubted, so why didn't the government support it?

"They're back home." Li Kongrong heard him talk about the country, his expression was immediately serious, he gritted his teeth and said: "The Navy does not support the rebuilding of the national government, so ......" He looked at the young officers around him again, and then said: "After many fruitless negotiations with the Admiralty, Commander Chen and Director Lin have held a press conference in New York to solemnly announce that the Navy will begin to rebuild from now on!" ”

"Good ......" The students all applauded, only Gao Guangyou and other old men looked weird and bowed their heads before echoing the applause.

"The first thing the fleet needs to rebuild is submarines, everyone has to study hard, and soon we will have submarines." Li Kongrong waved everyone quietly, and then his words made people cheer again. It was only when he arrived at the conference room upstairs and was alone with Lin Zhun that he asked, "How was the contact with the other party?" They say they've given you everything. ”

Li Kongrong originally planned to come back at the end of July, but he was delayed and delayed, and he didn't come back until now, during which he delayed a lot of things, and the handover of the materials required for stealing the boat was one of them, and he had to let Lin Zhun accept these things.

"Got it, you wait." After Lin Zhun finished speaking, he went back to his room and brought a stack of things, he spread out one of the charts and said: "This is the hydrographic map of the Telavi River estuary, this is the river channel, this is the shipyard, this is near the submarine base, and this is the ...... of the entire bay after going to sea."

Lin Zhun had a stack of charts in his hand, and if Japan had measured the map of all of China, then Britain had measured the charts of the whole world. Looking at this incomparably detailed chart, Li Kongrong said with peace of mind: "Very good! What about the weather? ”

"Yes, but it's not too detailed." Underneath the chart are some documents in English, "It's a trouble to check the border post at the mouth of the sea, where there are two platoons or so of the Wehrmacht." During this time, I also went to the shipyard a few times, and the width of the river at the checkpoint was only about 170 meters, and there was also a searchlight, so we had to dive to the periscope depth if we wanted to go there, but fortunately, the water at the mouth of the sea was deep enough......"

It is not difficult for the submarine to leave the shipyard dock, the premise is that the submarine is intact and has oil, and the battery also has electricity, Lin Zhun is now worried about how to leave Germany and how to run out of the Baltic Sea. But Li Kongrong didn't think about this question, he interrupted him and said, "Is the shipyard starting now?" How much has the submarine finished? ”

"......" Lin Zhun was excited when he talked about how to get out of the Travi River, but as soon as he talked about the construction period of the submarine, his face became bitter, and he waved his hand and said: "It will definitely not be completed this year, at least next spring." ”

"What's going on?" Li Kongrong looked at him deeply. "It's not like it hasn't started in the past few months, has it?"

"Almost." Lin Zhun sat down, "There is no problem with the shipyard, and they don't want the submarine to occupy the dock, the problem is in all kinds of parts factories." We signed a contract with the shipyard, but we didn't sign the contract with the shipyard and other factories, and those factories didn't deliver, and the shipyard couldn't get started. ”

"Yes." Li Kongrong no longer looked at him, and smoked and lit the fire by himself, but he couldn't turn on the lighter, so he changed the match and lit the cigarette.

"Isn't it all rebuilt that you can't buy a submarine?" Lin Zhun tossed the pile aside and talked about the idea he had been thinking about recently. "Don't ...... that way"

"Why?!" Li Kongrong, who was smoking with his head covered, replied after half a sound.

"Why can't we get back what we paid for?" Li Kongrong glared at him and asked, leaving Lin Zhun speechless. "Besides, who will sell us submarines at this joint now?" Li Kongrong no longer looked at him. "The Ninghai is sinking, the cruise ship that the fleet needs needs a submarine to capture, and we have so much money to build an aircraft carrier without a cruise ship?"

"Isn't there a Jiankang number?" Lin Zhun was stared at by Li Kongrong for a while before muttering. After the Battle of Jinshanwei, the Huying and other torpedo boats returned to the Yangtze River via Taihu Lake by water, but the nearly 400-ton Jiankang could only take advantage of the night to quietly sail to Sanmen Bay. Fortunately, it was a small ship, and there were many islands along the way, which the Japanese did not discover, and this was the only ship of the Navy in the open sea.

"Jiankang said it was a destroyer, but it was actually a torpedo boat, can a torpedo boat break the relationship?" Li Kongrong asked rhetorically.

The real name of Jiankang is 'Fubo', and in 1909, the Manchu Qing Dynasty prepared for the German destroyer ordered by the Minister of the Navy after Zaixun went to Germany, the first ship Changfeng, and two ships were renewed, namely Fubo and Feiyun. After Xinhai, the three ships were renamed 'Yuzhang', 'Jiankang', and 'Tong'an'. The prototype of the ship is a German-style S90 torpedo boat, equipped with two 75mm main guns, four 47mm secondary guns, two eighteen-inch torpedo tubes, with a horsepower of 6,500 horsepower and a speed of 32 knots, and the range, after all, is a small boat of less than 400 tons, only a pitiful 2,000 nautical miles.

Now that the ship has dismantled its weapons and nominally sold it to an American company, in fact, the Admiralty means that the Jiankang will go to the American shipyard to replace the original coal-fired power system and replace it with an oil-fired boiler to increase its range, so that it will be able to go to sea as an accompanying ship of the aircraft carrier in the future -- it is certainly not possible for an aircraft carrier to go to sea alone, and it is common for a few people to be dropped into the water during the voyage, and in order to save people, the 20,000-ton aircraft carrier will not reverse on the spot and turn around. That's all the mission of the Jiankang is, and it is not possible to let it break the relationship. What if the range was doubled? The sinking of the Ninghai has proved that unless there are surface ships or underwater ships that can resist the Japanese, the mistakes of the past will be repeated.

Lin Zhun only knew that there was such a ship in the open sea, and he didn't know that this ship had crossed the Pacific Ocean and was about to reach the United States, and Li Kongrong didn't want to explain the situation of the Jiankang. He asked rhetorically and then pondered: "It is impossible to negotiate with the government, it depends on when that guy Goering comes to me." ”

Lin Zhun didn't know that Li Kongrong had lost a hook with Goering, but when Li Kongrong talked about Goering, he said: "By the way, when you were away, a German colonel came to look for you." ”

"Dönitz?" When Li Kongrong heard that it was the colonel, he immediately thought of Dönitz -- he was thinking that he had made a radar early warning plane, and it was time to remind Dönitz that he would not be defeated so quickly.

"No," Lin Zhun shook his head. "It's a colonel, it's called ......, yes, it's called Paulus. He also left a phone number and said that please contact him when you return. ”

"Paulus?" When Li Kongrong heard this name, he thought of Marshal Paulus, who surrendered in Leningrad, but he felt that it could not be this person. "Did he say anything?"

"Didn't say anything. I left a phone number telling you to contact him. ”

Of course, Lin Zhun was not familiar with the German Army, and Li Kongrong did not ask any more questions after hearing him answer like this. He instead asked, "How's the training going?" Morale seems to be high. ”

"It's fine. Everyone who taught me a few months ago has learned that there are no submarines, and it would be great if there was a submarine to go to sea for trial sailing now. Lin Zhun said regretfully.

"We lack training, so we have to memorize by rote." Li Kongrong said. "But more important than the training is our lack of combat experience, when I leave, let you find the old captain of the First World War......"

"Don't you say I forgot, I found it." Lin Zhun smiled and flipped out an old newspaper: "We found Lemont Weissbach, does Hansheng know who he is?" Remember the Lusitania cruise ship? Lin Zhun patted this old newspaper, "In 1915, it was sunk by the German submarine U20, and more than 1,200 people died. Weissbach was the captain of the U20 submarine, and he sank more than 30 merchant ships. ”

"It's him." The Lusitania cruise incident was the trigger for the United States to fall to Britain, and Li Kongrong certainly remembered this tragic ship. "He was not recalled to the submarine forces?"

"Nope." Lin Zhun shook his head. "He lived in Hamburg, and the result I asked was that he didn't like the Nazis, and the Nazis didn't like him. But now there is a small problem, which is that he did not agree to our invitation. ”

"He doesn't like the Nazis?" Li Kongrong didn't expect that there would be such a person, that is, he was a dissident in Germany.

"Yes. That's what Hamburg inquired about. Lin Zhun said, "He doesn't seem to have any interest in money, and my offer has reached five thousand marks, but he is still indifferent." ”

"Let's take our time." When it comes to Hamburg, Li Kongrong thinks of Chen Shunqing of the Hamburg Mariner Restaurant.

"One more thing," Lin Zhun hesitated for a few moments before saying, "The one you sent in Shanghai to telegraph that she wasn't coming......

There was only Xu Peipei in Shanghai, and Li Kongrong wanted to go to Germany with Xu Peipei from the Pacific Ocean via Hong Kong, and arranged Xu Peipei in a Swiss research institute before stealing the boat. But things have been delayed, and he didn't take the Pacific route, so when he was in the United States, he sent a telegram to Shanghai, asking her to come directly to Germany with her daughter. When he left New York, Xu Peipei called back and said that he was preparing, and he didn't want to say that he wouldn't be able to come back after ten days.

"What about the telegraph?" As soon as Li Kongrong stretched out his hand, he was about to read the telegram.

"I'll get it." The telegram was clearly coded, and Lin Zhun naturally saw the content when he signed it, but these contents could not be taken seriously until Li Kongrong confirmed it. After he brought the telegram, Li Kongrong was immediately dumbfounded when he saw it-Xu Peipei didn't come because she didn't want to come, she didn't come because she was about to go back.

"What is this?" Li Kongrong said inexplicably.

"Doesn't that mean you're going back to China soon?" Lin Zhun pointed to the telegram and said. "I saw it the day before yesterday and I don't know if it's true. Hansheng, is this true? Does the country really want to transfer you back? ”

"I don't know." Li Kongrong read and read the telegram, and his little wife was full of joy on the telegram, because the other day Miss Kong told her that Dean Kong said that he would transfer him back. Get back? What should I do when I go back to Germany?

"Report!" When Li Kongrong was thinking about who was going to mobilize him, a report was made outside the conference room, and Liu Yongren said: "Sir, the embassy's phone number said that it was looking for you." ”

"Embassy?!" was talking about transferring back to China, but I didn't expect the embassy to call, and Li Kongrong and Lin Zhun were taken aback.

"Yes, it's Ambassador Cheng." Liu Yongren said.

"He didn't say what it was?" Li Kongrong asked as he went out.

"Nope." Liu Yongren shook his head.

Li Kongrong's mind was heavy, he walked quickly downstairs and picked up the microphone, Cheng Tianfang was waiting there, and when he heard Li Kongrong's voice, he only smiled and said: "Brother, this time you have to return to China before me." Li Kongrong sighed in his heart when he heard that he had returned to China, but Cheng Tianfang on the other end of the phone still said to himself: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called, asking you to return to China immediately to report on your work." Hey..., hey, hey......"

There was no sound in the microphone, Cheng Tianfang thought it was disconnected, and Li Kongrong said: "Return to China immediately to report on work?" It's ......"

"Yes. That's what the telegram says, the country will send someone to replace you. Cheng Tian said. As soon as you take the telegram, your brother will prepare it immediately, and I will have someone book a plane ticket for you immediately......"

Cheng Tianfang said what Li Kongrong didn't know anymore, he felt that this was much worse news than the revocation of the Admiralty and the resignation of Chen Shaokuan. In the United States he had a British passport, but in Germany he had to have an official status, if not an embassy attaché, then he had to be the head of the naval cadets to keep the boat theft program out of action. But what does it mean that the country is in such a hurry to go back to report on his work? What should I do?

"Brother Yong thinks that the initiator of the reconstruction of the navy is that Li Kongrong?" Thousands of miles away in Wuhan Jialuo Mountain, looking at Kong Xiangxi's chubby face, Chang Kaishen was very reluctant to believe that a colonel could stir up such a big momentum. "Is this possible?"

"Brother Jie's brother has not been in contact with this person." Kong Xiangxi's eyes flashed, "Before the war started last year, this person predicted the situation after the war, and he was really extraordinary and intelligent. I asked him to come to the Executive Yuan again and again, but he said that his ambition in this life is to gallop across the ocean and protect the sea, and since he can open up the situation in Germany, I can only do it. ”

Kong Xiangxi sighed that after seeing Chang Kaishen, he still didn't believe it, so he had to say it again. "Brother Jie, I think this person is very much like an old man, especially those eyes, they are really similar."

"The deceased?" It was rare to see Kong Xiangxi speak like this, Chang Kaishen was a little surprised, and he said, "Who is it?" ”

"Mr. Changqing." Kong Xiangxi looked at Chang Kaishen's eyes and said word by word, although his tone was calm, Chang Kaishen was shocked when he heard it.

"Is that really the case?" Chang Kaishen paused for a moment before asking. Among so many deceased people, he is the most reluctant is Yang Yongtai, not to mention the others, just in Xi'an, if Yang Yongtai is here, with his prudence and wisdom, he will definitely persuade himself not to go. I don't go to Xi'an, the country. The army is afraid that it will be the same as in the previous suppression of the Communist Party, driving the Communist Party to run around, and it is right to run, and whoever runs to the territory will be unlucky, so that the northwest will be returned to the central government, and the only worry is Xinjiang. It's a pity that he still went to Xi'an, so the civil war ended and the foreign war began, and the government was not well prepared, so that now it has lost thousands of miles.

"When he comes back, my brother will know when he sees him." Kong Xiangxi said with a smile, "But this person is young and vigorous, and he has to hone and hone before he can be useful." (To be continued.) )
