Although he knew that there was no hope for the submarine, Li Kongrong still felt that he should not give up until the last moment, and the most important thing was that the plan should not be exposed, otherwise the mutton would not be eaten and cause a commotion, which would be really bad for the reputation of the navy and the country. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the next morning, after calling the embassy and not getting an updated news about Hamburg, he subconsciously came to the German Admiralty to find Dönitz.

At this time, some goods in Germany were sold in limited quantities, but there was not the slightest atmosphere of war among the people, and the officers who came in and out of the Admiralty were not even more nervous, and they were still old-fashioned and elegant. When Li Kongrong, who was familiar with the situation, showed his ID and said that he was looking for Colonel Dönitz, the doorman did not stop him as before, but unfortunately Dönitz was not in Berlin.

"When will the Colonel return to Berlin?" Li Kongrong was received by Dönitz's aide-de-camp, Captain Loyratt. Li Kongrong couldn't help but be happy to see him, he thought Dönitz was in Berlin.

"I'm sorry, sir, but it's likely that the sir's return won't be back until the end of the month." Mr. Loillat is also familiar with Mr. Li, who has not been here for months since Mr. Dönitz refused to transfer submarines to Chinese naval cadets last October.

"At the end of the month?" Li Kongrong muttered, and forced a smile: "The fleet is exercising, right?" ”

"I have no comment, sir." Seeing Li Kongrong's speculation about the fleet's exercises, Captain Loirat's expression immediately became serious, and when he was about to ask Li Kongrong why he came, Li Kongrong smiled and said: "******, I didn't ask Mr. Colonel to send us a training boat this time, I wanted to tell Mr. Colonel that one of the submarines we ordered will be launched and outfitted soon, and I hope Mr. Colonel can give some advice, that's all." ”

"Really? That's great, sir. I'll tell you sir. Loirat's expression finally relaxed, and the experience of more than a year made him understand how difficult the Chinese in front of him are.

"When will you tell him?" Li Kongrong asked with a smile.

"I think maybe ......, I'll tell you as soon as possible, as soon as the chief contacts me." Loylat replied very seriously, although Dönitz was at sea at this time, he often communicated with Berlin.

"Tell him, please." Li Kongrong got up and said goodbye. Feeling that he would never return, he couldn't help but glance at the large portrait hanging on the wall of the reception room, and his gaze skimmed over Count Spee, who sank with the ship, and finally fell on Tirpitz, who had gone back to the old ways of the First World War despite all the painstaking efforts to rebuild.

"******, I'm going to return home soon, and I have one last piece of advice for the colonel before I leave." Li Kongrong gazed at Tirpitz's portrait and sighed, which made Loirat a little strange. "Really? Sir, I'll tell you sir. ”

"In the last war, the German Navy's codebook was picked up by the Russians shortly after the war began, and then the British always knew the German Navy's communication code, but the British were clever enough to use deciphered telegrams only at the most critical moments." Li Kongrong turned around and looked at Loirat with a smile, "If there is another war, when Mr. Colonel thinks that no one else but himself, even the person he trusts the most, can be trusted, then it means that the enemy has once again deciphered the communication code of the German Navy." ”

"Really?" Loirat stood for a while, and then felt that Li Kongrong was alarmist, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Sir, thank you for your advice, I will turn it on to the chief immediately." ”

"No, not right away." Li Kongrong walked out of the reception room with steps, "If you tell him now, he may forget it later, and you can tell the colonel when no one trusts him, and the advice will be useful." ”

Li Kongrong said some incomprehensible words, and when Loilat was still thinking, Li Kongrong had already reached out to shake his hand, "Goodbye, ******." Also, tell Dönitz that my promise to him will always work. ”

After Li Kongrong finished the last sentence, he left the German Admiralty without looking back. Loiratt said that Dönitz would be back at the end of the month, and that when he returned, he would find a way to get the Lübeck shipyard to work and the submarine to be launched, which should be two months later, when he should already be in New York.

He did not spend much time at the German Admiralty, and when he saw that the time was less than half past nine, Li Kongrong, who had nothing to do, found a familiar café and spent time until after lunch before going to the embassy to inquire about the news of the hamburger. The Elector Avenue is still lively, far away Li Kongrong saw the blue sky and white sun flag floating on the roof of the fourth floor of the embassy, because it came from the east, he had to turn at an intersection in front of him to stop at the entrance of the embassy, but when he passed by the embassy, he subconsciously looked at him and shook his whole body - the door of the embassy was full of German police.

Li Kongrong unconsciously slowed down and let the car behind him keep honking its horn, but fortunately, he quickly reacted, stepped on the accelerator and drove straight through the intersection in front of him, and then went to the naval quarters on Spann Road. Like the embassy, there were also policemen at the door of the Navy quarters, and he drove straight through again, but there was something disillusioned in his heart. Although a countermeasure was arranged last night, it is difficult to predict whether the countermeasure will be effective. And Wang Guogui, that kid left Berlin last night, and the Germans are now searching the naval quarters, and maybe he will be searched in Lübeck as well.

Need to leave Germany right away? Li Kongrong thought about it and denied it, and now he is leaving without self-infliction; Do you want to ask the British about their current situation? After a moment he dismissed the idea again. The Germans would search the naval quarters, most likely determining that it was a Hokkien who received the guns based on the accent, but there may also be Hokkien among the students and overseas Chinese. As for the most critical Lin Zhun and Jiang Jing, the two were already on the train to Poland at this time, and they had probably left the country - Berlin was too far away from the Netherlands, but it was very close to Poland, in order to be sure, the two went to the Polish embassy early in the morning to apply for transit visas, and changed the route to Poland first and then to Denmark.

Li Kongrong, who was circling around the city, kept watching the time, and at a quarter past three in the afternoon, he found that the police outside the embassy had left. He found a telegram on the side of the street and dialed the embassy, and it took two turns of the phone before Tan Boyu's voice came out of the receiver: "God! Where are you? Something big is wrong, you know?! ”

"Something big? Something big. Li Kongrongxin mentioned his throat, but his tone was not slow.

"Did you Navy buy guns?" Tan Boyu asked in a low voice. "Just now, the German Foreign Office came and asked us to provide us with a copy of the information of Fujian expatriate students studying in the navy, saying that someone was smuggling firearms from Hamburg and preparing for a riot."

"What does the Navy buy guns for?" Li Kongrong, who was worried that someone would eavesdrop on him, was afraid that Tan Boyu would say that he had inquired about Hamburg, so he immediately said: "Don't say it yet, I'll go to the embassy right away and say something to your face." ”

After hanging up the phone, Li Kongrong's face was cloudy, and it took him a while before he made up his mind to hurry to the embassy, thinking that if he was unlucky, the Germans would be waiting for him there.

"What the hell is going on, how did you pull out the riot?" Ten minutes later, Li Kongrong arrived at the embassy, and at this time not only Tan Boyu was there, but also Xu Bozhou, the military attache in Germany.

"Dude, Hamburg found out yesterday that there were overseas Chinese smuggling firearms, and said that a batch of firearms had been sent to Berlin, and the person who took over said that it was a young man with a Hokkien accent." Tan Boyu grabbed Li Kongrong's sleeve, not like he was questioning, but like complaining. "Today the Germans came and said that someone was preparing a riot in Berlin in an attempt to disrupt the Führer's birthday parade."

"Birthday parade?" Li Kongrong was stunned, but after a while he understood that Hitler's birthday was April 20, and there was a parade in Berlin at this time of year, and the scene became grander and grander every year. "How is this possible? What good is it for us to disrupt the parade when we are full. Li Kongrong asked rhetorically. Brother Boyu, what does this have to do with the navy? Besides, the one with a Hokkien accent must be a naval cadet? ”

After Li Kongrong finished speaking, he glanced at Tan Boyu, Tan Boyu still looked complaining, but Xu Bozhou was skeptical. He continued: "But I have moved out of the navy dormitory in the past six months, and I rarely care about the affairs of the navy, but unfortunately Zunzhi has returned to China today, otherwise I have to ask him carefully." But it doesn't make sense, what is he doing with a gun? I'm going to go back to Japan too. ”

Just in case, Li Kongrong took himself out again, but he was a little worried that Lin Zhun had not left the country yet, but it was already afternoon, and even if he got on the train at ten o'clock, he should be out of Germany at this time.

"What an eventful time!" Tan Boyu saw that he couldn't ask anything from Li Kongrong's side, so he had to retreat to the chair and sit down, while Xu Bozhou asked strangely: "Brother Zunzhi returned to China today, this is not a ......"

"Zunzhi's return to China was ordered by a domestic telegram." Before Li Kongrong could speak, Tan Boyu explained. "Yesterday, Brother Han Sheng called me and told me that the navy was going to arrange a group of people to return to China first."

"yes. The Navy came to Germany for submarines, and after waiting for so long, there was not a single rivet for the submarine, and now the shipyard has not yet launched it. Li Kongrong continued Tan Boyu's words. Instead of waiting endlessly, it is better to return to China to fight devils. ”

Tan Boyu proved that the return of naval cadets to China was caused by the military order, and Xu Bozhou relaxed his vigilance. Although he was good friends with Li Kongrong before, after the Navy announced its reconstruction in New York last year, China began to ask him to pay close attention to the movements of the Navy cadets.

Li Kongrong's words fell Tan Boyu's office was silent for a while, but the abrupt phone ringing broke the silence, Tan Boyu picked up the microphone and listened to two sentences before changing color in vain, and when he put down the microphone, he looked at Li Kongrong and said a word. "Something's wrong! When he left the country, he was detained by the German border police. ”

"What?! They didn't ......" Li Kongrong stood up suddenly, but fortunately, he found that Xu Bozhou was looking at him, and immediately changed his words: "What are they holding Zunzhi for?" How could such an honest person ......?"

"Anyway, it's deducted, and the call just now was from Zunzhi." Tan Boyu also stood up, he looked at Li Kongrong, and said weakly: "Hansheng, what are you doing in the navy?" ”

"The Navy didn't do anything!" Li Kongrong held back the tremor in his heart, "You say, what's the use of the navy asking for guns?" ”

"But now ......" Tan Boyu didn't know what the navy wanted the gun for, but it had happened, and he was very puzzled.

"Now it's just one side of the story of the Germans." Li Kongrong argued. "Zunzhi's departure was discussed yesterday, since the country wants the trainees to go back, then go back part of it first, if the submarine is really hopeless, then all of them will return to China next month."

"Let's wait for the Germans' notice." Seeing that Li Kongrong couldn't ask anything, Tan Boyu sat down helplessly.

"I'll go to the cadets and inquire." Li Kongrong didn't want to stay any longer, "Let's see if they do such a thing." ”

"There you go." Seeing Li Kongrong's farewell, Tan Boyu stood up again. "Notify me as soon as there is any news."

"Understood, farewell." Li Kongrong hurriedly said hello and left the embassy, and as soon as he left Xu Bozhou, he said: "Brother Boyu, this Hansheng must know something." ”

"It's still hard to say, didn't Hansheng move out of the naval quarters a long time ago?" After Ambassador Cheng Tianfang returned to China, Tan Boyu, the commercial counselor, took charge of various affairs of the embassy, and he knew a little about the situation in the navy.

"It doesn't matter if you move out." The identity of the head of the German head of the Renaissance Society made Schüberzhou a little suspicious of anyone. "Don't forget, those people in the navy are all looking at Li Hansheng."

"Hey! The affairs of the Navy are also not communicated with the embassy. At this time, Tan Boyu thought that he might have said the wrong thing when facing the Germans at noon. The German Foreign Ministry personally came forward to ask for information on Fujian nationals, students, and military cadets, and it was normal for the embassy to provide it, after all, under Sino-German relations at this time, he had to give it, but when the Germans asked Lin Zhun and others when they would leave, he didn't think much at the time and answered truthfully that he was leaving today.

There was an accident in Hamburg yesterday, and Lin Zhun and others went through the departure procedures today, which is indeed a little suspicious, and the Germans should have notified the border checkpoint to intercept Lin Zhun and others at that time. If he had known what the navy was doing at that time, he would definitely hide Lin Zhun and their situation, so that maybe they would have left the country.

Tan Boyu in Berlin regretted that he had told the Germans the truth, and on the train back to Berlin, Lin Zheng, who was handcuffed, called him unlucky. He now hated the clerks at the Polish embassy, and if they had obtained a transit visa for him half an hour earlier, he would have left Germany an hour earlier, and perhaps he would have arrived in Warsaw. Bad luck is bad luck, he is glad that he discussed countermeasures with Li Kongrong last night, at that time he thought it was a superfluous move, but now he remembers those confessions.

It's nothing more than buying and selling firearms, and it's a big deal to deport from the country. Lin Zhun swept his gaze over the German policeman with a serious expression, and turned his head to look out the window. He continued to think: Even if this thing is said, it will not be ashamed, everything is for the sake of fighting devils.

Lin Zhun still had a smile on his face, and Cheng Jing, who couldn't help but tremble slightly, looked at him a little sluggish, although Lin Zhun said before going out in the morning that he would admit it all if something happened, but he still had an unspeakable worry, and now that something happened, returning to China was in vain.
