After returning to the restaurant, Xiao Zhenlei found that the blonde and Sidney had already left, and he returned to the guest room after checking out the bill.

"Grab a seat!" Xiao Zhenlei said and took off his shirt and hung it in the closet.

Su Gu looked left and right and sat on a chair, Xiao Zhenlei hung up his clothes and carried a chair and sat opposite Su Gu and said: "Su Gu, you have also read the previous telegram, it seems that the trip to the United States has to be canceled, I have to rush back, but the operation to get the metallurgical technology of Krupp in Germany must continue, the blonde girl before, have you remembered her physiognomy characteristics?" ”

Corna nodded, "Remember, the man opposite her, I remember too!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Zhenlei took out a cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs and said: "Tomorrow morning, they will take the train south to Essen City, I decided to return to China alone in the next few days, and you will take all the others to follow the two of them to Essen City to take a train to carry out the action of obtaining metallurgical technology, the action plan is formulated by you, the blonde girl is our person, this matter is only known by you, and only you can know it, you can't sue anyone else, you and her will contact her alone in the future, this is the contact method, remember it and burn it down!" ”

Awaya took the note and read it at a glance, then memorized it, and burned it with the lighter on the coffee table next to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhenlei said again: "This blonde is called ' in our organization' Joan of Arc', recently the Krupp Arsenal is producing a new weapon, I suspect that the Germans are producing gas bombs, they are going to Essen to investigate the details of this new weapon, if the investigation is clear, they will steal the detailed production plan, the man's real name is Sidney Reilly, he is a multi-faceted spy, not only for the British MI6, but also for Russia and Japan, this man is not an ordinary person, he is not only proficient in all the skills of intelligence officers, but also extremely strong, and more importantly, he is extremely cunning, with superhuman lying skills and superb adaptability, you must not despise himIn addition, Joan of Arc not only serves us, but also has multiple intelligence agents for MI6 and MI5, you must take her safety into account when making your plans, and don't let her arouse Sidney's suspicions, but don't trust her 100%, otherwise you will suffer a big loss!

In addition, I have received information from Joan of Arc that Sidney is going to work at the Krupp Arsenal as a welder, and then wait for the opportunity to investigate the details of the production of new weapons in the arsenal, and once he has the details of the new weapons, he will steal the production plans of the Germans, and when the time comes. Joan of Arc will find a way to tell you about the exact time of Sidney's operation in the Arsenal, so you must try to get in touch with her first when you arrive in Essen, I think you can use Sidney to divert the Germans' attention, but you have to remember that if Sidney is caught, I have no doubt that he will bite out the others, you have to do everything you can to kill him, you must not make him confess 'Joan of Arc', and besides, you must not meet Williams and Opiyin, and you must not let them know that you are back in Essen! ”

After listening to this, Awaya said, "Sir, I remember!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said again: "There is another point, and the most important point, in the future, you will be the supreme person in charge of our organization on the European continent, and you will be fully responsible for the intelligence work on the European continent, so your task is very heavy, I want you to extend our tentacles to every country and every medium-sized city in Europe within three years, and establish a strict and extremely complete intelligence network, you can use any means here to achieve this goal, and the funding is not a problem. I will ask Wang Yaqiao to allocate 300,000 pounds of money to you every year, if it is not enough, you can apply for addition, but there must be enough reasons! ”

"Understood!"

Then Xiao Zhenlei asked Su Gu to call all the other people in, and announced to everyone that they would follow Su Gu back to Essen City tomorrow morning to carry out the plan to steal metallurgical technology, and Su Gu was fully responsible, and also announced to them that they would be led by Su Gu in the future and establish an intelligence network throughout Europe.

On the morning of April 9, Xiao Zhenlei did not go to the train station to see off Su Gu and the others, after they left, Xiao Zhenlei was left alone in Berlin, he only left one guest at the Adlon Hotel, and all the other rooms were vacated.

If you want to go to Russia from Berlin, and then take the Trans-Siberian Railway back to China through Russia, you can only find the Qing embassy in Germany, and they will issue a certificate and note to the Tsarist Russia, so that Tsarist Russia will let it go, Xiao Zhenlei could have gone to Yinchang by himself, but he was not familiar with Yinchang, so he rushed to find Yinchang, and I don't know if the old man would agree to help, but if he went to Jiang Fangzhen, it would be different, Jiang Fangzhen was Yinchang's disciple, if Jiang Fangzhen went to Yinchang and said, Xiao Zhenlei believed that Yinchang would definitely give this student face.

So Xiao Zhenlei went to the Ministry of Defense in the morning to find Jarvis and asked him to help contact Jiang Fangzhen, who was interning in the Seventh Army.

Xiao Zhenlei and Jiang Fangzhen talked about the situation again after the phone, that is, he wanted to return to China through Russia, and the time was urgent, and asked him if he could help find Yinchang to talk, so that Yinchang could contact the Tsarist Russian side and obtain a pass, Jiang Fangzhen immediately said that he was going to Berlin in the afternoon to go to the consulate to bring Yinchang, and it was estimated that it was also a matter of returning to China, and maybe he could go back with him. The two hung up the phone after making an appointment with a place and time to meet.

When he came out of the German Ministry of Defense, Jarvis said in a very regretful tone: "Xiao, I know that you have a deep study in the military field, but unfortunately you can't stay in Berlin for a longer period of time, which makes me lose the opportunity to continue to study, when will you leave for China?" ”

"It's just a few days, it should be soon, if it weren't for the fact that I still have something very important in China, I would like to stay here for a while, after all, there are a lot of things worth learning here, Jarvis, I hope we can meet again!"

Jarvis shook hands with Xiao Zhenlei and said solemnly: "I think there is still a chance, and in addition, I will send an official letter to your War Department in the name of my country's Ministry of Defense to explain to them your outstanding performance here!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly said: "Also, don't forget about the number of places to study abroad, you promised me!" ”

"Don't worry, I will never pay my bills!"

In the afternoon, Xiao Zhenlei drove to the train station to pick up Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang Fangzhen's place was only half an hour away from Berlin, and it was very convenient to travel between the two places.

After receiving Jiang Fangzhen, Xiao Zhenlei asked, "Brother Baili, what do you think Lord Yinchang is looking for you for?" Could it be something that will make you return home with him? ”

Jiang Fangzhen nodded and said: "I think it should be, I have already submitted a request to the German army to return to China, and someone should be sent to replace me soon, I believe that the handover work can be completed by the day after tomorrow at the latest!" ”

When he arrived at the consulate, Xiao Zhenlei stopped and waited outside, Jiang Fangzhen entered the consulate to see Yinchang, he went in for more than an hour before coming out, and as soon as he got in the car, Xiao Zhenlei asked: "How is it, Brother Baili, what does Lord Yinchang mean?" ”

Jiang Fangzhen smiled and said: "You are lucky, Lord Yinchang has already told me that we will leave for Russia by train on the afternoon of the 11th, and then take the train from Russia to the Far East, that is, the day after tomorrow, I told Lord Yinchang that you also want to go back, and he promised to count you in our group!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei breathed a sigh of relief, although he also had a way to return to China alone, but it was much more troublesome than going through formal channels, and it was the most convenient and fastest to follow Yin Chang and Jiang Baili and the others.

On April 10, Xiao Zhenlei drove Jiang Baili back to the barracks to go through the handover procedures, and in the afternoon the two carried Jiang Baili back to Berlin, because there was no place to stay, Jiang Baili spent the night in Xiao Zhenlei's room in the Adlon Hotel, Zhang Xiaozhun learned that they were going to leave for China tomorrow, and also asked the school for leave to rush over to accompany the two, preparing to send them to the train station tomorrow.

Before dark, Xiao Zhenlei returned the rented car to the car rental company, returned to the hotel to pack his luggage, and chatted with Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Xiaozhun all night in the evening, mainly talking about the international situation and the military development of various countries in the world.

On the afternoon of April 11, Xiao Zhenlei went to the railway station with Yinchang, Jiang Baili and other embassies to take a train to Tsarist Russia.

When the train stopped in Irkutsk, Xiao Zhenlei and others got off the train, and then went south from Irkutsk, preparing to pass through Mongolia to the capital, at this time Mongolia was still the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court still had absolute control over Mongolia.

On April 20, when everyone arrived in the capital, Jiang Fangzhen was to stay in the capital to prepare for the reception of the German crown prince, and was appointed as the leader of a battalion of the Kyoto Praetorian Guard.

Xiao Zhenlei stayed in the capital for a day, handed over the receipt of the German Ministry of Defense to the War Department and then set off south, Jiang Fangzhen went to the railway station to see him off, before getting on the train, Xiao Zhenlei said to Jiang Fangzhen: "Brother Baili, the situation in the capital is complicated, those nobles and lords in the imperial court will definitely not give up power lightly, I look at the constitutional matter is very suspenseful, and those old-style military officials and lords are generally very wary of you students who have returned from studying abroad, if Brother Baili is not happy here, You can go south to find my little brother at any time, and my position in the forty-six standard system will be reserved for you! ”

Jiang Baili smiled: "You gave me the position of this standard, why are you going?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "If you are the standard commander, I will be the deputy standard commander, or the chief of staff, my level should still be competent for you to be the chief of staff, right?" ”

Jiang Baili shook his head helplessly and smiled: "You underestimate yourself too much, okay, thank you Brother Huanyu for your kindness, if I really can't get along here, I will definitely go to you!" ”

"Brother Baili, let us contribute our life's efforts to the rise and take-off of China!" After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he asked the two hired Liba to carry the luggage onto the train, and he also turned around and got on the train, and turned around at the door and waved goodbye to Jiang Fangzhen.

At the end of April, Xiao Zhenlei returned to the Nanqiao barracks. R1152
