After the rain, the sky in Shanghai is as blue as a wash, and the dust from the chimneys is washed away. ^//^ [On the Huangpu River, a former German 10,000-ton ship used to exchange sulfonamides before the war slowly approached the wharf. When the sailors lowered the gangway, hundreds of white Europeans who had fled the war began to disembark, with Austria-Hungary, Russians and French being the most numerous. The relaxed visa policy and the stable environment have prompted many Europeans to try their luck in the Far East, and freighters between China and Europe have become the main force of transportation, with nearly 1,000 people arriving in the Far East every day, and most of them do not have a clear goal before departure.

However, when they got off the boat in confusion, they immediately got the opportunity to realize their value! A group of young people wearing the logo of the National Youth Association held up billboards in various languages such as "Physics first", "Rumors of hiring a high-paying Chapter 394 Kasabraka, asking for skilled workers", "Military technicians provide long-term housing", and even many female students joined in the fun, and most of their slogans were recruiting teachers of all kinds. This is one of the actions launched by the National Youth Association to recruit talents from the country, mainly recruiting all kinds of technical personnel among the refugees. At first, everyone thought this little trick was very ridiculous, but after two years, they turned around and found that these young people from the customs of the country have recruited no less than 20,000 people through this way of ant moving, including several scientists who are well-known in Europe! And the promises and benefits are real, as long as you pass the skills assessment at the reception, the YMCA can quickly help you find a job with a salary almost equal to that of the United States.

What's more, if you have a skill and are willing to cooperate with the Chinese to build a factory, then they will also recommend suitable partners and provide commercial guarantees. According to incomplete statistics, in the past two years, more than 300 factories of various types, ranging from food to metal processing, have been built through such joint ventures and small loans, and there is even a "Balaton Internal Combustion Engine Company" jointly invested and built by three shareholders in Chongqing: Austria-Hungary, China, and Italy. And because of the rumors of Chapter 394 Kasabraka at the beginning of the year, it received an order for 198 military gasoline generators and became the first joint venture factory to receive an order from the National Defense Force, which once crowded the front pages of major newspapers in the Republic of China. Every time I think about it. Traun in the Mercedes sedan admired Yang Qiu's five ways to enhance his own strength, from a single point of view, these chaotic means are not very effective, but all add up to a very amazing thing.

The driver honked his horn vigorously to disperse a dozen young people who were distributing leaflets calling for an end to the war in Europe as soon as possible and the restoration of world peace. This kind of picture sometimes makes people feel like the world is turned upside down! When will it be the turn of the young people of China to care about peace in Europe? But then again, with Yang Qiu's rise and leadership of these young people, the country is just as restless but energetic as they are. The bureaucracy that inherited the Manchu Qing Dynasty but was suppressed more obediently, the industrial clique composed of Westernists and overseas technicians, the YMCA clique that began to emerge two years ago due to the rumors of land reform in Henan, and, of course, the military clique that only listened to the orders of one person.

These groups have the right to speak in the current Republic of China, containing and competing with each other. Taking advantage of the European war, this ancient country is gradually being pushed on the road of rebirth. Although no road is inherently smooth. Conflicts, quarrels, and insults occur every day, but even he envies the situation in which the Kuomintang is the dominant party, and as the ruling party and the current largest interest faction, no matter how big the differences within them, it is impossible for them to destroy the party, after all, no one is willing to give up the ruling power.

Not far away, the clearly visible sentry boxes at both ends of the manufacturing bureau road made him frown even more. Since it was rumored that the United States helped China build battle cruisers and lay the keel, the defense level of this shipyard has been greatly improved, and it is no longer an area that can be accessed casually. And more recently, German technicians in shipyards have also begun to be restricted from going out on the grounds that they are preventing military leaks.

When did the Germans equate with whistleblowers ?! This is a precursor, a terrible precursor! The car pulls into the German Embassy in the Public Concession, and the American Stars and Stripes can be seen fluttering in the wind in the distance. As soon as he got out of the car, Traun grabbed Pizarao in a hurry, and asked, "Where has he been?" ”

Pizarao was a former civilian member of the Qingdao Governor's Office, and because he was not on the list of soldiers who needed to be supervised, he helped the embassy after the war, and when he saw Traun, he immediately stopped: "Yesterday morning's news, he was still in Lyon. It is said that there was a great deal of interest in the tank factories there. "This mouth of him is naturally Yang Qiu, who is currently visiting France for almost a week, I heard that people are still in Lyon and have not gone to Bordeaux, and the uneasiness between Traun's eyebrows~~-Update the starter~~ is deeper.

Unless it is a fool, diplomats all over the world now know that Bordeaux is the center of power of the French Provisional Government, so going around like this can only show that some peripheral negotiations have not yet been completed, so they immediately asked: "The people around him can." Is it all in Lyon? ”

"I heard that two young diplomats went to Lyon the next day, and most of them are now surrounded by officers and staff sent to Europe." Pizarao was also a little surprised why he had not gone to Bordeaux for a long time, and asked, "Your Excellency, what do you think he is waiting for?" ”

"Waiting for the bid!" Pisalaau's words strengthened Traun's conjecture! Although Yang Qiu is still vice president, because of his special status, and he unmistakably told the world at the National Social Congress that he would become president at some point, so the world has regarded him as the core brain of China's rights in the next 20 years! Any diplomat would be willing to deal with someone who has been in charge of the country for twenty years and has a good Westernization mindset, which can bring a long-term benefit.

Precisely because he was optimistic about his future political prospects, it was not surprising that the French government received him with a high level of grandeur in Lyon. Since it is the Führer's specifications, then he must have reached most of the agreements before the meeting with the French president, and now wandering around like this only means that the conditions have not been negotiated yet! Of course, there is another reason for the delay in borrowing! A loan that is enough to convince the population and mobilize the troops.!

But Pizarau did not believe it, and exclaimed: "God, does he not see that now is the time when we are at the strongest in Germany?" Isn't he afraid of the triumphant revenge of our country after the war? This is also the strange thing about Traun, he is not like the outside world who thinks that Yang Qiu has been carried away by a series of victories, and is a madman who interferes in Europe and tries to dominate the world before it is completely resolved at home. On the contrary, dealing with him for a long time made him understand that in that young body is an extremely utilitarian but extraordinarily calm brain! But the problem is that Britain and France can give loans. It is even possible to pay a sky-high price for sending troops, but the core colonial interests with the power of the Republic of China are impossible to get after the war! So why is he even involved in this war? To dismantle the Anglo-Japanese alliance? It's possible. But will Britain agree to dissolve this extremely important Far Eastern Alliance?

While the fog haunted Traun and the German diplomats in China, they did not know that a bad news had quietly spread in Casabraka!

Deserts, camels, oases, *brown and black tea make up the streetscape of Casabraka in Morocco, but the brutal European war has led to the extraordinary prosperity of the African continent, and the white people who have fled or stranded on the continent have poured into the city, and nearly half of the wealth and resources looted by France from various colonies need to be transferred from here in order to win the war, so the trade volume here has been increasing for more than two years. What's more, in the absence of a strict European-style social regulatory system, it has become the front line of the espionage warfare of the two major military blocs, and no one can tell how many secret deals are going on in the busy crowd every day.

The Harbour Tavern is the place where sailors gather the most. It is also the most mixed area. There are not only Europeans here. Americans, South Americans, and even a lot of Japanese themselves. Due to the rise of several major shipping companies in the Republic of China, the transportation industry in Japan has completely shrunk, so after the war began, many Japanese sailors who wanted to make a fortune joined the Entente fleet. These cheap laborers effectively alleviated the problem of tension among European sailors, and some people even described it as "the land is Chinese" after the Chinese workers entered France in a big way. The sea belongs to the Japanese himself. ”

Unlike the European sailors, who were noisy and even fought at every turn, the diminutive sailors preferred to huddle in groups and drink cheap beer in the corner, and then look at the world with the eyes of a mouse.

"Yamazaki-kun, it's been a long time, you're running that route?"

In the corner, Bonn was holding a cup of coffee, pretending to be limited and afternoon tea, but in fact his ears had already stretched out into the conversation of the sailors next door. As an officer of the German Ministry of Intelligence, he worked at the German Embassy in Japan for five years, so he was very good at dictating Japanese. It's different from other partners who put their minds on white people. He liked to listen to the conversations of these dwarfs, because he found that as more and more of them joined the Allied fleets, and because there were very few people who thought they knew Japanese, they often revealed very useful information, and through their information alone, the German submarine forces sank no less than 70 merchant ships.

This time he didn't pounce on the air, because these Japanese sailors who spoke in Japanese brought big news!

"Foreman Shipping, UK. Those damn white ghost beasts don't treat us as human beings at all! I'm going back to China after this time, and I don't want to work for them. ”

"Returning home? Yamazaki-kun, listen to me, although I am bullied here, it is better than going home and starving. You don't know that in the first half of the year, there was another grain harvest failure in our country, and the Korean guerrillas took this opportunity to deliberately burn the grain that had just been harvested in the country. ”

"That's better than here. You don't know, we've been in charge of transporting ore from South Africa lately, but it's just too dangerous! Last week I saw two ships explode next to me. ”

"Isn't there a warship escort?"

"Warship? They were all on the Anglo-American Atlantic route, and we had only two torpedo ships smaller than the Combined Fleet on our side. Damn, next Wednesday we're going to have seven ships from here to Nantes, France, and then to London, I really don't want to take this route, it's too dangerous! I'm scared. ”

"Hey."

Seven ships! Bonn didn't care about the nagging and pessimism about Japan later, and took a sip of black tea. Like an elegant gentleman, he calls the Indian waiter to settle the bill in a London accent. But he didn't know that not long after he left, the sailors also came out of the tavern and into the labyrinthine alleys.

"Where next?"

"Finland, then to St. Petersburg."

"Take care."

The dialogue is in Chinese! ……！！！
