Yao Dingchen greeted Major Li Kongrong and introduced him into the embassy, and Cheng Tianfang greeted him with a smile when he came, and then gave him a document, which was Kong Xiangxi's main itinerary in Germany.

Tomorrow, June 9, at 8 a.m., Kong Xiangxi will arrive in Berlin, and in the morning there will be nothing to do except stay in a hotel, except for the award of a doctorate at the Technical University of Berlin at noon, and a dinner party for the Minister of Economic Affairs Schacht in the evening; The next day, at noon, he will go to the German Foreign Office to meet with Foreign Minister McGensen, followed by a luncheon, and in the evening the embassy will welcome Kong Xiangxi.

On the 11th, the delegation will visit Goering, the second leader of the National Socialist Party, and the other party will have a banquet for him at noon or in the evening; On the 12th, he went to Dessan to join the Junkers Aircraft Company, and in the evening departed for the town of Berchsgaden to meet Hitler the next day; On the 13th, he met with Hitler in the afternoon; On the 14th, he returned to Berlin, met with Defense Minister von Blomburg, rested after luncheon, and planned to leave Berlin in the evening or the next day.

From the 9th to the 14th, it was a total of six days, and Li Kongrong counted the days silently. Six days later, his adjutant mission was complete. Now everyone treats themselves because they are Kong Xiangxi's adjutant, but six days later, they are not. If he returns to the Admiralty, what if the minister still listens to those people......

Major Li Kongrong looked at Kong Xiangxi's itinerary and was very thoughtful, and only now did he recall the contents of Zhou Yingcong's telegram, and he had a lot of feelings in his heart -- Zhou Yingcong said in the telegram, 'Leave a line in everything, and we will see each other in the future,' and even said, 'You are a member of the navy after all.'" Indeed, Ren Kong Xiangxi's adjutant was only for a while, and he was still a member of the navy.

Major Li Kongrong's face was wrong, which made Cheng Tianfang look at him several times, afraid that there was a problem with this itinerary, he smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with Adjutant Li's itinerary?" If there is anything wrong, I will do my best to adjust it. However, the meeting with the German Führer Hitler had already been decided, and it would not be polite to change it halfway, and it was not easy to change it on the side of Air Force Commander Goering, who ......"

Cheng Tianfang held his gold-rimmed glasses and talked eloquently, he had been in Germany for more than a year, had experienced the German-Japanese anti-communist agreement, and was still relatively clear about the political situation in Germany. For the time being, the foreign service, the commercial system, the Wehrmacht, and the National Bank or the Ministry of Economy are all pro-Chinese, while the National Socialists, represented by Air Force Commander Goering, are completely pro-Japanese. Therefore, a meeting with the pro-China faction is a good change, but a meeting with the pro-Japanese faction is not a good change.

Of course, Major Li Kongrong didn't think there was a problem with the itinerary, he just felt that he seemed to have handled yesterday's incident recklessly. Even if Lang Jiancheng and the others are spreading rumors to slander themselves, they should also be encouraged to change their ways, and after Chen Shaokuan arrives in Germany, he will explain the situation to him, and now he is locked up and confronted, such a fierce tone will definitely cause the unhappiness of the minister and others.

"Adjutant Li......" Cheng Tianfang saw that Li Kongrong was silent and did not speak, and called out in a low voice.

"Oh......" Li Kongrong finally came back to his senses, he smiled reluctantly, and said: "There is no problem with the itinerary, but it would be more appropriate if I could spare some time for Mr. Yongzhi to visit Miss Kong......"

Miss Kong is Kong Xiangxi's baby, her nickname is baby, and the Chinese translation is Pepe. After getting along with Kong Lingyi for a long time, Li Kongrong of course knows how precious Kong Xiangxi is this daughter, but Cheng Tianfang doesn't quite understand this, and now after Li Kongrong reminded him, he immediately stood up with his hands rubbed his hands, and praised Li Kongrong and said: "It's still your brother who thinks about it thoroughly, and I will immediately ask people to adjust the itinerary and adjust the itinerary." Then he took a few steps before sitting down.

After being happy, Cheng Tianfang said again: "Brother Li, take a look again, what else do you have to adjust?" ”

'Adjutant Lee' became 'Brother Lee', the major just smiled helplessly, and he said: "Then the situation in Germany has been introduced, and at present, it seems that Hitler is playing a big game of chess." The next pawn to move is likely to be Field Marshal von Blomburg of the Ministry of Defense, and we have to do ......"

"What?!" Cheng Tianfang jumped up, and then closed the door of the living room again, and he said, "Brother speak slowly, speak slowly." And what about Marshal Blomburg? Hitler was going to move him? ”

"Of course." The Major nodded solemnly and began to memorize the diary—the main purpose of his visit to the embassy today. "The situation in Germany today is called militarism. It looks prosperous, but in fact it is taking out all the money to expand the armament, as the saying goes, not butter but cannons. After the defeat of the German people after the last war, the family was very limited, and now the National Socialist Party is struggling to support itself. Sir, think about it, what if one day he can't support it?

Step?! This is absolutely impossible, and even if the National Socialist Party wanted to step down, they would rather die than quit when they thought that Germany would be occupied by the Bolsheviks as soon as they came out of power. There was no money at home, and his hands were full of cannons, and the gentleman said that with Hitler's madness, what would he do? ”

Cheng Tianfang went to Germany in 1936, and although he did not see the whole process of the Kuomintang Socialist Party's rule, his experience as ambassador for more than a year still gave him a deep understanding of Germany. After Li Kongrong finished speaking, he was silent for a while, but after nodding, he looked at Li Kongrong's eyes and said, "Brother Li is right, but Marshal Blomburg and those who are familiar with him are not removed if they are replaced. In the army, the National Socialist Party, that is, the Air Force, occupies a place, which is why Hitler wants to build the Guards and the Brown Shirts, can he ......?"

Cheng Tianfang probably watched too much of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and when he said this, he made a cutting action with his hand, his eyes flashed, but his face was a little dark. When the Chinese people mention the coup d'état, they are real and real, but this is obviously not the case in Europe.

"The Prussian officer corps regarded honor as its life, and if it was damaged, even if Hitler asked Field Marshal Blomburg to continue his work, he would not do it." The major continued to carry the diary on his back. "The National Socialist Party has done everything it can, and it could not be easier to look for an opportunity to discredit and tarnish Marshal Blomburg, but we must be prepared.

This is by no means as simple as Marshal Blomburg stepping down and someone else taking over. Hitler must have seized the opportunity to purge the uncooperative senior generals from the Wehrmacht. Honour was of great importance to the Prussian soldiers, and faith was always of great importance to them, and now that Hitler and the National Socialist Party as a whole had held the public opinion hostage, if they wanted these officers to step down in the name of the people, they would have no way and would not resist. Only in this way will there be no more obstacles to waging war.

The war in Europe has nothing to do with us, but once Blomburg, Schacht, and Niu Wright all come out of power, and all the pro-Japanese elements come up, it will be ...... to our country."

Li Kongrong had read the history of the Third Reich, while Cheng Tianfang had spent more than a year in Germany and was well aware of the internal political struggles in Germany. While Major Li Kongrong was still speaking, he was already walking in the living room with his hands behind his back -- if there was really a situation like the one Li Kongrong had said, he would be the ambassador at the end of it.

He turned around for an unknown number of times, and only stopped at the end and asked, "Brother Shaosheng, how can I mediate this matter?" ”

"It was useless to mediate, because war was inevitable, and the economic and political situation in Germany dictated that the National Socialist Party had no other way to maintain its power than war. That's why I said it was important to let Mr. Yongzhi understand the seriousness of the political situation in Germany, so that we could pursue the short-term rather than the long-term in our negotiations with the Germans, because there was no longer a long-term term, and if it continued in the long run, Germany would go to war, and then the contract would be equal to zero, no matter how good it was. ”

"This ......" turned so many times, Cheng Tianfang finally calmed down, he sat down and said: "How does my brother judge the trend of German politics?" ”

"How can you tell?" Major Li Kongrong looked a little embarrassed, and he said with some embarrassment: "If it were other countries, the government gazette would still be able to read it, but many of the figures published by the German government were fake, so they could only be used for divination." ”

"Fortune telling?!" Cheng Tian was so surprised that his glasses almost fell off.

"Yes." Despite the stiffness of the scalp, the Major had to reply. "I think Marshal Blomburg's fortune is only one year, and after a year he will definitely be squeezed out of power by Hitler; And Germany's fortunes are ......, and within three years there will be a war. ”

"Brother, this is an international event...... Cheng Tianfang was still stunned, he didn't believe that the young Major Li Kongrong was proficient in plum blossoms, if fortune telling could decide international affairs, then what did the ambassador do......

"That's the general trend, if you don't believe me, I really don't have anything to say." The major didn't know how to defend himself, so he had to make up his mind. "Anyway, it's only a matter of a year or two, so sir can wait and see."

"Well said, well said." Cheng Tianfang was stunned for a while before speaking, but he didn't know what to say next, and after thinking for a while, he said: "When Mr. Yongzhi comes, I will suggest that Mr. consider the change in the political situation in Germany." ”

"That's good." Looking at Cheng Tianfang's reluctant look, the major knew that he had messed up the matter - he only remembered at this time that he had made a mistake in the order on the diary. If this matter is known to another self, it is inevitable that he will have to ridicule a few words, but now his mind is full of things about the six-day adjutant and the confrontation, and he has no intention of saying anything about international affairs. After sitting a little longer, and having said that the cadets would be greeted tomorrow morning, he took his leave and left the embassy.

As soon as he returned to the apartment, he asked Wang Guogui, the official on duty, to release Lang Jiancheng and the others who were in confinement, and then everyone lined up on the grass. His gaze swept over the three people who were nervous, and he said: "The flag-raising ceremony will be canceled tomorrow morning, and everyone will go to the train station in ceremonial clothes to greet the special envoy Mr. Kong Yongzhi, the minister, and other party-state dignitaries. I got up at six o'clock, had breakfast at half past six, and left at seven o'clock. Do you understand everything? ”

"Understood, sir." A cadre of students replied loudly that they had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"That's good. Disband. Li Kongrong said and turned around and went back to the room. The other students are okay, but Lang Jiancheng and a few others don't understand the situation, yesterday Li Kongrong was violently locked up with the confinement of himself and others, Han Zhaolin almost confessed frankly, but fortunately, Lang Jiancheng didn't say a word, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation

According to the rules of the Navy: Falsely accusing others of committing a crime is a serious crime, and the worst offense is a serious offense. There is still a glimmer of life if you don't admit the false accusation, and once you admit it, the gods can't get it back. Because of this, Lang Jiancheng would rather be confined than speak. Of course, fortunately, it is abroad, if it is in China, the matter may have been stabbed to the Military Balance Division, once it is troubled by the Military Balance Division, then the Military Balance Division will thoroughly investigate in order to get the matter to the bottom of the matter.

The punishment was one of the reasons why Lang Jiancheng gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, and the other was that the telegram he found was not sent to Minister Chen Shaokuan, but he was only invited by Lin Zhun to introduce the situation in Berlin to him, which can be said to be purely a private exchange between colleagues, without any intention of false accusation. As for who informed the minister of the matter, and how the minister punished Li Kongrong, it is not for him to know.

As the sun set, the three of them did not immediately go back to the room to eat and wash, they just watched the sun sitting on the grass in front of the villa. At this moment, the heaven and the earth are quiet, the birds and birds are flying high in the sunset, and the sky is completely indigo except for the red glow, and they only feel that this time is incomparably beautiful after a day of confinement.

"Hey! I really don't know what the minister will do with us when he comes. Han Zhaolin was the first to break the silence, and the sentence on the telegram was actually added by him, which was also the reason why he was most uneasy before.

"What else can I do?" Before the confinement, Lang Jiancheng was unmoved, and now that he has been released, he doesn't take it seriously. "We didn't spread rumors and false accusations, and we are not qualified to make false accusations."

"What do you mean......" Huang Tingshu understood the reason. His telegram was just a call to Lin Zhun, this is not a false accusation, at most it can only be said to be a joke, as for how it got to the minister's ears, it is not something he can know.

"I didn't mean it." Lang Jiancheng didn't look at him. As far as he is concerned, he does not want to get involved in the internal entanglements at a higher level, nor does he intend to falsely accuse anyone. "Since the ministers are here, what are we worried about, everything will wait for the ministers to be released."

"The minister is notoriously hard-......hearted," Han Zhaolin heard him say this, and was even more worried at the moment, "The fourth class of the year before last was just named for violations, but the minister ordered that all thirty people in the class were expelled, and there were only three of us ......"

"What do you know!" Seeing that Han Zhaolin was scared of himself, Huang Tingshu, who heard some news from his father-in-law, said: "That is the Fuxing Society secretly developing its power in the fourth class, and the minister happened to hear that the fourth class violated the rules when he saw this, so the whole class was expelled." ”

"Is that so?" Han Zhaolin looked at his head, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Of course it is. Isn't it obvious that the expelled students are not all Fujian people who have entered the Electric Thunder School? Huang Tingshu said: "During the Great Revolution, the navy made an agreement with the chairman of the committee, and the navy did not have a party department, but the navy joined the Kuomintang, and then set up a special party department......

Huang Tingshu said the internal secrets of the navy, which only made Han Zhaolin gradually breathe a sigh of relief, but at this time, the sun completely set, the brilliant glow passed, and the sky and the earth were dark.
