"Why did Xiao Xu suddenly think of summoning him? There is something that can be said just now, anyway, Tolistan, the German Yankee, can't understand a few words in Chinese. After a simple explanation to Tolistan, Tang Zhidao followed Gong Weijian to re-enter the War Department, where he had worked for more than half a year.

"Catch up with me?" This idea flashed by, and was immediately denied by Tang Zhidao, the relationship between himself and Xiao Xu is at most the kind that I know you, but you don't know me, otherwise Xiao Xu would not have been stunned for a long time and didn't remember who he was.

"Let me be a spy and spy on the Germans?" Another thought flashed through Tang Zhidao's mind, but even if he wanted to be this spy, he probably wouldn't be able to get any useful information. Although Colonel Tolistan admired him very much, and the other Germans, especially the German soldiers, respected him very much, but there was no right for him to participate in any confidential matters.

"Xiao Xu shouldn't have much interest in the so-called secrets of the Germans at the moment!" After a brief thought, the idea was rejected again.

In this way, it was only five or six minutes from the gate of the War Department to the back building, and Tang Zhidao felt that a long time had passed. Fortunately, Gong Weizhuang didn't let him be in the hall downstairs this time, and led him upstairs into Vice Chief Xu's office.

Different from the solemnity and solemnity of receiving Tolistan, Xiao Xu was much more relaxed and casual at this moment, half-lying in the leather single sofa in the living room, the style and discipline button of the military uniform had been unbuttoned, a half-burned cigar was between the fingers of his right hand, and he was holding a copy of the latest Shuntian Times in his left hand to read it energetically.

"Deputy Chief, Tang has translated!" Gong Weijian left Tang Zhidao in his office and came over to report.

"Let him in!" Xiao Xu said casually.

"Xu Cichang is good!" Tang Zhidao saw Xiao Xu again, and he simply said hello.

"Sit on your own!" Xiao Xu didn't raise his head, and said coldly, his eyes still staying on the newspaper in hand.

"Tick, tick, tick......" As Gong Wei stiffened out, the entire living room suddenly fell silent, only the sound of the Western-style pendulum clock on the wall and the sound of Xiao Xu flipping through the newspaper from time to time.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Xu finally finished the last page of the newspaper, stood up, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and said slowly: "If the water doesn't come to harm!" ”

"Vice Chief Xu, you recognize me!" Tang Zhidao pretended to be surprised and stood up and said, since Xiao Xu wants to summon him, of course he will do a little bit of the necessary homework, and it is relatively simple to ask the adjutant Gong Weijian to know everything.

"Sit, sit!" Xiao Xu dropped a cigarette and said lightly: "When you came back from Germany, I wanted to keep you in the ministry, but unfortunately Li Xiushan took the lead!" ”

"Thank you Vice Minister Xu for your love!" Tang Zhidao took the cigarette and sat down opposite Xu Shuzheng and said.

"Later, I heard that you were ostracized by Qi Fuwan in the Gandu Governor's Mansion, and I also plan to transfer out to Beijing!" Xiao Xu lit a cigarette and threw the match to Tang Zhidao and said: "Our senior Qu Weiqing is ahead of me again, and I, as a junior brother, naturally can't compete with seniors for talents." ”

"Second Chief, I'm ......" Tang Zhidao pretended to be moved and said, in fact, Xiao Xu is purely blind here, and what he likes with Xiao Xu's personality will never be given to others.

"When you study and fight Japanese instructors in the Baoding Army, Qu Wenqing won't be able to protect you." Xiao Xu took a puff of cigarette and said, "At that time, I wanted to transfer you to the General Affairs Department of the War Department, but unfortunately the Japanese had too much pressure there, so I could only put you in the Military Pastoral Department." ”

"Second Chief, you're bothered!" Tang Zhidao also lit the cigarette in his hand, the taste was more rushing, not the one he liked.

"By the time something happens to you, I can't help it!" In the end, Xiao Xu sighed and said: "In the end, you and I are the end of the world!" ”

"How can Tang dare to compare Xu Ci's appearance!" Tang Zhidao hurriedly said modestly, Xiao Xu Yang said so much, which made him even more confused. …,

"Now that the country has gone through calamities and is waiting to be rebuilt, it is the time for you and me to show our talents!" Xiao Xu said impassionedly.

"Vice Minister Xu can rest assured that although Tang is only an interpreter for the German Embassy, he will do his best to improve the relationship between China and Germany!" Tang Zhidao was afraid that Xiao Xu would really let himself be a spy, so he hurriedly took the initiative to say.

"The state spent a lot of money to send you to the German General Staff for internship and a visit to the German factory, is it just for you to work as a translator for the Germans!" Xiao Xu's face changed as soon as he said it, and he stood up violently and reprimanded: "Besides, Germany is currently in the midst of a European war and it is difficult to protect itself, what can you do with a small translator, is it true that you really think that the Germans will listen to your plan!" ”

"Vice Chief Xu, what are you ......" Xiao Xu's sudden frenzy made Tang Zhidao a little at a loss, but he was still calm, after all, Xiao Xu wouldn't be much of himself for a while.

"Hey, I'm a little out of shape!" Xiao Xu sat back on the sofa dejectedly, and said leisurely after being silent for a while: "I just think it's a big loss for you to be this translator for yourself and the country!" ”

"Vice Chief Xu is too optimistic about the way of the Tang Dynasty!" This sentence said that Tang Zhidao's heart went to it, and he stood up excitedly and said: "It's just that I have been in the army for more than ten years, and I really don't know what I can do when I leave the army!" I had no choice but to take refuge in the German embassy to eat. ”

"I'm afraid the food at the German embassy is not very tasty!" Xu Shuzheng returned to normalcy and said lightly: "It's hard to last long!" ”

"What does Vice Chief Xu mean?" Tang Zhidao suddenly became alert, Xiao Xu was afraid that he would really have an intention to use both soft and himself.

"It's okay to talk to you!" The corners of Xiao Xu's mouth raised and said: "It is a matter of time before China declares war on Germany, and what will you do with yourself at that time!" "As soon as China and Germany go to war, they must first expel the other side's diplomats, this is an international practice, and when the time comes, there will be no hair left!

"Now the situation in Europe is still unclear, the domestic situation in our country is turbulent, and the declaration of war on Germany is probably far away!" Tang Zhidao retorted.

"It doesn't matter, our government has long been unable to control its own diplomacy!" Xiao Xu said sadly: "A weak country has no diplomacy!" ”

"So the Japanese or Britain, France, and Russia have already put pressure on our country!" The way of the Tang Dynasty is clear, it turns out that the time and space are like this, more than half a year later, China broke off diplomatic relations with Germany under the pressure of many countries, and a year later declared war on the Allies.

"So Ruoshui, you better think about a way out early!" Speaking of which, Xiao Xu felt a little compassionate.

"Vice Chief Xu's words have gone to my heart! I also know that being an interpreter for the Germans is not a long-term solution, but with my current status as a prisoner, I am afraid that no prince will dare to take me in, let alone reuse me! Tang Zhidao looked helpless, but his heart was bright, it seemed that Xiao Xu wanted to recruit me to his command.

"It turns out that Ruoshui is worried about this!" Xiao Xu suddenly realized: "You don't have to, didn't the president pardon you!" ”

"Pardon is pardon, it's just that every once in a while, a spy is sent to greet him!" Tang Zhidao said with deep hatred, the so-called secret agent is purely imaginary, he just wants Xiao Xu to retreat and temporarily cut off the idea of recruiting himself.

"It must have been done by Jiang Chaozong, Lei Wanchun, Wu Bingxiang and the like, and it is difficult for the president to have such interest at this moment." Xiao Xu frowned and said, I feel that things are a little tricky, and he has seen Lao Yuan's methods.

"Alas! After the errand at the German embassy was lost, I might have to go into a small business. Tang Zhidao saw that Xiao Xu was a little difficult, and continued to pretend to be helpless and said: "I would have compared my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" ”

"If I let you return to the War Department, would you do it!" Perhaps stimulated by Tang Zhidao's last words, Xiao Xu suddenly made up his mind and said. …,

"Vice Chief Xu, you are doing this for!" I was really afraid of something, and Tang Zhidao really panicked now.

"I can't bear the high salary of the German embassy!" Seeing that Tang Zhidao did not immediately agree, Xiao Xu said unhappily. With the rank of Tang Zhi, he returned to the War Department at most 100 oceans a month, while the German embassy opened 600 marks a month, totaling about 250 oceans.

"Vice Chief Xu, where is this, how can I be greedy for glory and wealth to get mixed up in today's field!" Tang Zhidao hurriedly argued: "It's just that my identity is too sensitive, and I'm afraid of being the second elder." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it!" Xiao Xu waved his hand very arrogantly and said: "I'll give you five days, think about it and report directly to the General Affairs Department of the War Department, and Adjutant Gong will complete all the entry procedures for you!" ”

"I have a contract with the German embassy." In the end, Tang Zhidao had no choice but to prevaricate with reasons that he thought was funny.

"It's your thing! Three days is enough time to complete the handover procedures. Xiao Xu said undoubtedly: "That's all for today, remember that you are a Chinese soldier!" ”

In the face of the strong and domineering Xiao Xu Tangdao, there is no possibility of refusal at all, unless he really doesn't want to mix in the Beiyang system within five years.

"After that, it's all up to the deputy chief to take care of it!" Seeing that it was unavoidable, Tang Zhidao gave Xiao Xu a military salute in a proper manner.

"Let's go, take this!" Xiao Xu nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to the half-pack of cigarettes on the table and said.

"The smell is too strong, I'm not used to it!" Tang Zhidao refused with a smile, and said that he would leave this place that he was about to return to with an extremely responsible mood.

"Deputy Chief, you can afford to take such a big risk for him as a major!" Gong Weijian muttered while helping to clean up the coffee table: "Tang Zhidao, this kid is stubborn to death, I'm afraid it's not easy to control!" ”

"I didn't see it, but it was very slippery!" Xu Shuzheng said with a smile: "In the final analysis, I also cherish my talents for the country!" In Xiao Xu's opinion, Tang Zhidao can be regarded as a bit talented, of course, it is much worse than Xiao Xu himself.

"Slippery? Could it be that this kid has really changed sex after being locked up for two months? Gong Weistiff said puzzled.

"You are responsible for completing the entry procedures for him, hang it in the General Affairs Department first, and get a second-class member for him!" Xiao Xu thought for a moment and ordered.

"Second Chief, will this kid regret it?" Gong Wei asked stiffly and uneasily, it seemed a little inappropriate to go through the formalities before it was fully implemented.

"Humph! How can he jump out of my Five Finger Mountain! Xu Shuzheng said with a sneer.
