The negotiations with Susan lasted three days, and two and a half of them were spent struggling with the shares of the New China Defense Company -- the woman's insistence on calculating her stake in the New China Defense Company according to the standard of 8 percent of the intelligence dividend made Li Kongrong extremely unhappy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But the problem is that he can't change people halfway, he also needs her to go to Europe to get information, especially German technical intelligence, and in the end, Li Kongrong signed the certificate, admitting that she holds 4.08% of the shares of New China Defense. The Italian woman who got her wish was happy and paid out of her own pocket to invite Li Kongrong's family to Manila for dinner, but Li Kongrong politely declined, knowing that many people were looking for him at this time.

"It's up to you to carry out an escort mission." In the evening, Li Kongrong called Wang Guogui over and asked him to go to Switzerland once. "Give this thing to Professor Ye Zhupei of the metallurgical laboratory, and this secret letter will also be handed over to him. This is the boat ticket, three hours after the boat. ”

"Yes, sir." Wang Guogui once escorted five pistols to Lübeck, but this time he escorted two palm-sized round aluminum pieces.

"Good." Seeing that Wang Guogui didn't ask why, Li Kongrong was very relieved. "These aluminum sheets are related to the combat effectiveness of carrier-based aircraft, you must keep them well, and you would rather throw them into the sea than hand them over to others."

"Yes, sir." Wang Guogui took the things in Li Kongrong's hand, saluted and went out to prepare. After he left, Li Kongrong sandwiched the remaining piece of aluminum in his diary, in case Wang Guogui's escort was lost. Looking at these pieces of aluminum, his dissatisfaction with Susan disappeared a lot. This money-obsessed woman is still good at stealing, these three pieces of aluminum are what she got from the Mitsubishi Nagoya factory, it should be the holes that the main beam of the aircraft has been laid for weight reduction, these round aluminum sheets should have been disposed of as scrap, but Li Kongrong regards it as a treasure, if it is really the main beam of the zero prototype, this is Igarashi aluminum alloy.

For this alloy, Li Kongrong originally prepared two sets of plans: the first was to violently rob and let the North Koreans storm Sumitomo Metal or kidnap Dr. Igarashi, who was developing the alloy; Second, it is also very violent, and it will directly shoot down the Zero fighter in the air over Bishan next year to obtain the wreckage. Neither solution worked, and Susan used a lie (she claimed that she could get her hands on the most advanced high-precision lathe in the United States) to enter the Mitsubishi Nagoya factory and visit the prototype of the Zero. In this way, the naval aviation does not have to cut the time to enter the country to fight, and if Chang Kaishen does not agree to the flight team returning to China, it does not matter if he stays in Burma.

Li Kongrong was thinking about returning to China to fight, but Xu Peipei tried on the wedding dress of the Western wedding with the help of his sister. The white wedding dress does have a beauty effect, and Xu Peipei, who is already a mother, becomes extremely beautiful when she wears a wedding dress.

"Brother-in-law!" Xu Xiaoxin rushed over and pulled Li Kongrong over, she pointed at Xu Peipei, who was shy, and said, "Look." ”

"It's just you." Xu Peipei blamed, blushing with shame. As she became plump, she put on a white wedding dress, which was not only charming but also pure, Li Kongrong's eyes immediately straightened, and people were in a daze. "Beautiful." He was stunned for a moment before he said, "It's really good-looking." ”

"Haha, brother-in-law is crazy......" Xu Xiaoxin laughed, and Xu Peipei couldn't help laughing.

"My sister sleeps with me these few nights, and you sleep with your little girl, this is the rule before marriage." Before Li Kongrong could react, the sister-in-law pulled the woman away, closed the door, and the two sisters were laughing.

"Lord, we come to you to witness the blessing of this man and woman who have entered the temple of holy marriage. According to the main idea, the two became one and married for life...... "The day before leaving Manila, in the Christ Church at the U.S. Army base in Cavite, under the watchful eyes of the families of the U-38 crew and other friends, Father Robert began his pre-wedding prayers. In order, prayer is followed by questioning, "When the marriage contract is about to be consummated, if there is any obstacle to their union, please bring it up immediately, or remain silent forever." ”

Father Robert looked at the Chinese and white people present, and he did not notice that Xue Kuiguang and his wife bowed their heads slightly. Seeing that no one questioned it, he said to Li Kongrong and Xu Peipei: "I command you to confess in the presence of the Lord any reason that hinders your union. ”

Hearing this, Li Kongrong and Xu Peipei, who were standing on both sides of the priest, looked at each other and smiled, and the serious priest also smiled at this time, and he gently asked the bride on the right: "Do you want this man to become your husband and enter into a marriage contract with him?" Love Him, care for Him, respect Him, accept Him, and remain faithful to Him to the end of your life, whether it is sickness or health, or any other reason? ”

"I... I do. The woman staring at her husband choked and lost her voice, tears as if they were about to fall.

"Do you want this woman to be your wife and enter into a marriage contract with her? Love her, care for her, respect her, accept her, be faithful to her until the end of her life, whether she is sick or healthy, or for any other reason? The priest asked again.

"I do." Li Kongrong saw his wife crying, and after answering, he wanted to come forward to comfort her.

"Don't be in a hurry, my child." Father Robert hurriedly stopped Li Kongrong, and everyone watching the ceremony immediately burst into laughter, and the most laughing was Colonel Wilkes, who was already leaning forward and backwards.

"Are you all willing to testify to their marriage vows?" The priest asked the crowd again.

"Yes!" In the midst of laughter, everyone present shouted yes.

"I have witnessed you swear to love each other, and I am glad to announce to all of you here that you are husband and wife, and now the bridegroom can kiss the bride." After tedious questions and answers, vows, and prayers, Father Robert, who officiated at the wedding, finally declared the two husband and wife. After saying this, Li Kongrong, who was anxious to comfort his wife just now, was a little overwhelmed, but at this time, the crew and the Americans below had begun to coax, and they shouted loudly in Hokkien and English: "Kiss the bride!" Kiss the bride! Kiss the bride!! ”

"Oh!" In front of everyone's eyes, Li Kongrong suddenly lifted Xu Peipei up, lifted him higher than him, and then raised his head and kissed her. The brutal kiss greatly stimulated the men and women present, and the photographer took the picture at the right time.

"Congratulations, Lee." Admiral Thomas Hart, the commander of the Asian Fleet, was the first to come forward with his wife, who was not among Li Kongrong's invitations, and after learning that Li Kongrong was going to be married at the base church, he asked Colonel Wilkes to convey his goodwill, so he became the highest-ranking officer present, followed by Huang Baitao.

"Thank you, General." Li Kongrong didn't understand what the Americans had in mind, but he obviously should be grateful for coming to the wedding.

"No, kid, I should thank you." Admiral Thomas Hart thought that it was not convenient for him to talk about business, so he stopped talking. "Tell me about your honeymoon, I think I might be able to help."

"I guess I'm going to Europe and then to New York and then back from San Francisco." Li Kongrong said that in the past few days, he has confirmed that he will go to Europe once, which means that he will miss a U-38 cruise.

"Good. I have detailed your last heroic deeds to the Admiralty, and I hope they will pay attention to the information you provide. Your men don't have to worry either, Colonel Wilkes will be cruising with them. Admiral Hart laughed. Good luck, Lee. ”

"Good luck too, General." Li Kongrong responded with a smile, he was not worried about the safety of his subordinates.

"Lee, congratulations." After Admiral Hart left, Colonel Wilkes came up to bless him, and Lin Xiangguang and Liu Yongren joined him.

"I'll leave the submarine to you." Li Kongrong looked at the three of them, and his eyes finally swirled on Lin Xiangguang and Liu Yongren's faces. "Cruising to the north, this is considered to be a way for future attacks, be bold, but not too reckless."

"Understood." Lin Xiangguang nodded, and then he took out a red envelope and said, "This is a little bit of everyone's heart." ”

"I will accept my heart, but the extra money will be returned." In the past few days of rest, Li Kongrong also discussed with everyone to formulate a code of conduct within the navy, and the amount of wedding gifts was one of them.

"It's all in accordance with the rules, and no one gives more." Liu Yongren said with a smile.

"In addition to Lin Lianfan, Jiang Jing and Lu Ruping, I will take these people away." Li Kongrong said another thing, "The rest of the places are supplemented by Americans and students from Hong Kong." ”

Li Kongrong had already said that he would take the sixth class away, and Lin Xiangguang and Liu Yongren were not surprised by this. Lin Xiangguang also smiled, "When are you going to take me away?" ”

"You'll be transferred when I get back. We don't have the money to buy submarines, the surface fleet is the point. After Li Kongrong finished speaking, he said to Wilkes: "Mr. Colonel, I will take away some of the crew, and I hope you can send a competent officer to take over the next cruise." ”

"No problem." Wilkes was full of promises, and he took his participation in the next cruise very seriously. "Lee, is there really a problem with our torpedoes?"

"Yes, I think so." The Americans not only wanted to participate in the next cruise, but also to test their own new torpedoes, but Li Kongrong was not optimistic about American torpedoes. "But Washington will definitely say that we are not doing it properly, and if you really want to solve this problem, you can record the whole process with a camera, and you will also need a torpedo tube to fire an imperial torpedo and a torpedo tube to fire your torpedo, so that you can compare ......"

"But how can I tell which torpedo sank the poor Japanese ship?" Upon hearing of Lee Kongrong's suggestion, Colonel Wilkes immediately pointed out the problems with this approach.

"You can float and launch." Li Kongrong smiled, "One after another. Nos. 2 and No. 4, as well as the torpedo storage rack on the right, all store American torpedoes, and No. 1 and No. 3 on the left hold British torpedoes. ”

"It's unbelievable." Wilkes shrugged, he stopped talking about business, and after greeting Xu Peipei, he walked aside with his wife.

"Kuiguang." Li Kongrong grabbed Xue Kuiguang, who also wanted to leave, and said solemnly: "No matter what, they are all brothers." ”

"Brothers, of course." Xue Kuiguang grinned, he couldn't see any helplessness, he looked at Xu Peipei again, and said, "Hello, sister-in-law." ”

"You're okay too." Xu Peipei held Li Kongrong's arm and looked at Xue Kuiguang and his wife, she didn't know why her husband said that. Only Li Kongrong whispered in his ear: "Fuzhou is about to turn the sky upside down." ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Peipei doesn't know why, she finally got married today, and her IQ has dropped very much.

"Nothing." Li Kongrong said that he hugged the daughter in Xu Xiaoxin's arms, looked at the photographer and said, "Take pictures, take pictures." ”

In Fuzhou, his nominal father and the Zeng family have already made a marriage, and it is not impossible for Xu Peipei to marry, but he can only be small. But Li Kongrong talked to Zeng Yiding in Hong Kong last time, and frankly admitted that such a marriage was not beneficial to his sister, and suggested that the marriage contract be cancelled. Now that Li Kongrong is marrying Xu Peipei despite his father's opposition, the Zeng and Li families in Fuzhou will definitely make trouble. In all fairness, what he did in this matter was very inauthentic, if the navy wanted to be united, then he should marry the eleventh sister of the Zeng family, but he really shouldn't marry an outsider for his own selfishness.

Navy, marriage, brothers, unity and ......, Li Kongrong can't control these things anymore, he just wants to cut first and then play, and focus on me. Although he was ready to be criticized by everyone, there were many congratulatory telegrams from the United States and China, and his father Li Zhaohe also sent telegrams, of course, the telegrams were certainly not sent by Li Zhaohe. When he came to Hong Kong, Zeng Guosheng also sent a congratulatory gift, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face.

"Mister Lee." The cruise ship is still in quarantine, and Drech, the head of MI6's Hong Kong station, got on the cruise with Zeng Guosheng, and according to London's instructions, he will be responsible for Li Kongrong's safety in Hong Kong and arrange his trip to Europe.

"Hello, Mr. Dredge." Li Kongrong shook hands with Dreige cordially and introduced his family to him: "My wife, and my daughter, this is General Huang, this is ......."

"Beautiful lady, it's an honor to meet you." Drech performed European etiquette and kissed Xu Peipei's hand.

"Let's go ashore." Li Kongrong looked at the customs boat under the cruise ship, believing that he would not have to wait for the quarantine to end before entering Hong Kong.

"Of course, sir." Dreich made a gesture of please, and led Li Kongrong and his party to the side of the boat and down to the dinghy. Although the dinghy with the customs flag is neat, it is quite old, and its engine is 'bang bang bang', carrying Li Kongrong and his party to the dock.

"The British can't do it anymore." Looking at this old dinghy, Li Kongrong sighed to Huang Baitao beside him.

"......" Li Kongrong sighed inexplicably, Huang Baitao couldn't answer at all, but Zeng Guosheng said: "The Japanese army really wants to attack Hong Kong, and with Hong Kong's current defense, I'm afraid it will take less than a month." ”

"How can she have the strength to strengthen her defenses?" Li Kongrong shook his head. "You say a month, I think it's only half a month, and once the war starts, Hong Kong will fall in about half a month."

"So what do we do?" Zeng Guosheng turned his head to look at Li Kongrong, he knew what Li Kongrong was talking about.

"Retreat early, what else can I do?" Li Kongrong smiled and lit a cigarette.

"But where can you retreat?" Zeng Guosheng asked--he knew less than Huang Baitao. "Singapore? Didn't you say that Singapore can't hold it either? ”

"If Annan is lost, Singapore will not be able to defend it." Li Kongrong said, "This can be regarded as the sequelae caused by the collapse of France, but it is not easy for the Japanese to take Singapore, and it must be enough blood." (To be continued.) )
