117 The goods are coming

Hearing the news, Huang Ke smiled and nodded. He pinched the telegram and walked over to Ainaud and Goss. Goth and Aino were sprinkling fish food to feed the fish in the pond, and the water was not deep, and all kinds of koi fish swam over for a while, stirring up a small wave.

The big yellow dog standing next to him looked like he was about to go into the water to catch fish, but he was a little afraid of the water, so he had to follow the butts of Goth and Aino and wander around.

"Rhubarb, go aside!" Huang Ke walked over and called the dog away, and Aino and Gao Si both turned around. Everyone feels like they are visiting an old neighbor's house, without the pressure and constraints of a political situation.

Huang Ke pinched the telegram and said to Aino and Gao Si: "Two gentlemen, stay and have some lunch at noon." My chef here is very good at Chinese food, you can try it. ”

Aino and Gao Si glanced at each other, and the two naturally accepted Huang Ke's invitation.

After feeding the fish, Huang Ke accompanied them around the manor again. A few people also climbed the small hillside not far away, facing the surface of Xuanwu Lake, the cool breeze was very pleasant.

"Thank God! The water makes a big difference here. "Ainaud was in a good mood as he blew the cool breeze and looked at the people boating in the distance.

Huang Ke nodded, "We Chinese all say that water is spiritual, and if there is water in a place, then the economy of this place will also be developed." ”

Goth agrees, "In the industrial age and before, shipping was the most efficient mode of transportation. Therefore, where there is a river passing through, it is easy to become a place where freight is developed. ”

Aino nodded.

"However, water can sometimes be a natural barrier. Especially in the current era of maritime trade, it is impossible to build a strong navy. Huang Ke took the opportunity to say, "When it comes to the problem that water is a barrier, I have one thing I want you to do for a favor." ”

The two glanced at each other and looked at each other, not knowing what Huang Ke was going to say.

"That's right, our intelligence organization received a batch of materials through the Chinese in the Philippines......" Then, Huang Ke explained the origin and use of the pulp paper of the three oak trees, and finally he specially emphasized, "This batch of materials is comparable to *, put into the Japanese economy *." But our navy was almost completely lost in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, let alone the ocean, and even the coastal sea had no projection capability. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Ke changed his words, "However, I heard President Roosevelt mention that General MacArthur deployed a submarine force to and from the Philippines and Craigidor Island in Australia, often delivering supplies to the guerrillas in the Philippine jungle. I think we can get these submarines to help us get our cargo over. ”

The two understood what Huang Ke meant, but what they didn't expect was that Huang Ke was so open and honest, and told them this kind of secret without reservation.

Aino did not shy away from anything, and said directly: "I think there should be no problem in this matter, and General MacArthur will be happy to serve." But the decision was left to President Roosevelt. ”

"Of course." Huang Ke said with a smile.

At this time, Chen Liewen came over and said that lunch was ready, please go and eat.

Huang Ke raised his hand to look at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock, and he smiled: "Let's go, let's go and taste the craftsmanship of Chinese chefs, I am sure to impress you." ”

Everyone smiled and walked towards the restaurant.

……

On the same day, President Roosevelt's personal envoy Ainault returned to the United States, where he reported to Roosevelt the results of the interview with Huang Ke and said, "China's purpose is to maintain its military presence in Mongolia, but it has no intention of going to war with the Soviet Union now." I think it's best to maintain the status quo between them. ”

After hearing this, Roosevelt smiled heartily: "Huang is really a very discerning person. The Soviet Union has been meddling in Mongolian affairs for many years, but China has rarely fought back forcefully. Now, it is a good choice for them to send troops to Mongolia at a critical moment in the Soviet-German theater of war. Such words would be tantamount to playing into the hands of Moscow, but they could do nothing. ”

"Tell Moscow that at this stage the affairs of Mongolia are held up in such a way that neither side can go to war for this reason. Everything will be negotiated after the war. As for whether they will fight for Mongolia after the war, that is not something we should be concerned about. ”

Aino nodded in agreement. He then told Roosevelt about Huang Ke's desire to transport a batch of three-tree paper through a U.S. submarine. Roosevelt listened, "Why not? Since this is a means that can be used to fight the Japanese, I think we should help a little. When that's over, you call Douglas, and he's in charge of the submarine over there. Let them go to the Philippines and ship these things to India, and then to China through our route in India. ”

……

Three days later, the Nanjing Reserve Cadre Office received news that the American submarine Seawolf would arrive in Mindanao, the Philippines, that evening, and that the Philippine guerrillas would help and make sure to deliver the cargo there.

Yu Dafu went to Manila again to contact Su Zirong, who said that his merchant ship could transport the goods to Mindanao, and the handover would be carried out in Mindanao.

Everything was running in an orderly manner, and in the morning, Yu Dafu and Su Zirong set off on a small freighter owned by Su Zirong and headed for Mindanao.

The sea is calm and calm, and a flock of seagulls is flying where the sea and the sky meet. Su Zirong, who has a lot of sailing experience, pointed to them and said, "Mr. Duff, it seems that we are lucky, this is a good weather." ”

Yu Dafu knows that experienced seafarers use seagulls as a barometer of the weather, and how high and close to the sea will affect the future weather.

When he had nothing to do, he chatted with Su Zirong about some things in their respective families. Su Zirong sighed that he gave birth to an unfortunate son. "My son has achieved nothing. I sent him to study in Japan and the United States, thinking that he would be able to settle down, but he didn't learn anything other than spending money. When the war broke out, I settled him and his wife in the United States, but I didn't expect him to run back because he didn't have enough money to spend, and now he is mixed with the Japanese, and he also gave himself a Japanese name, called Su I Handsome. Alas! ”

Talking about this son, Su Zirong sighed again and again, it seemed that he was very speechless about this son.

Yu Dafu didn't have a good impression of Xiao Su, this guy looked like the kind of son-in-law who was in oil, but Su Zirong was talking like this now, and he had to say a few words of relief and say something like saying that his son would be sensible when he grew up.

"Hey, don't talk about this, it's uncomfortable to say these frustrating words. Tell me about you, Mr. Duff, you are so young and promising, you must be surrounded by many ladies, but I see that you are always alone? Is it for the wife at home? Ha ha. ”

Speaking of this, Su Zirong realized that he had said the wrong thing, because not long ago, Yu Dafu's wife Wang Yingxia was rumored to have an adulterous affair with Dai Li, who was in the reserve cadre department.

This Dai Li is his old friend for many years and is known for being lustful, while Wang Yingxia is a well-known beauty, but he never expected such a thing to happen. Do you think that the two of them were perfect together, and they were also rumored to be good in the cultural circle, and they also made themselves bear the reputation of abandoning their wives, never thought that such a thing would happen?

Yu Dafu was naturally angry when he heard the news. However, he is a trendy person, so naturally he will not beat his wife or catch an adulterer like ordinary people. After going home and asking his wife, the two got together and broke up, agreed to divorce, and each published a statement in the newspaper.

Su Zirong has heard of these things, so he naturally knows a thing or two, and it is a bit rude to mention it like this now. When he was thinking about finding a topic to settle this matter, Yu Dafu waved his hand and said unexpectedly: "I have a confidant, but it is still a little difficult." ”

After Yu Dafu divorced, he went south to Nanyang, of course, there are some young admirers around him, one of which is a Chinese staff member of Singapore's Ministry of Intelligence, who is very popular, but encounters some worldly resistance.

The two chatted for a while, and then happily said something else, and before they knew it, they were almost at their destination. Yu Dafu raised his hand to look at his watch, he had been sailing for several hours, and according to the original plan, it should be almost there. It's still too early to pass, and the time agreed with the guerrillas over there is nighttime, so this time can't be rushed.

"There's no dock to dock there, so I'm going to park the boat in the deep sea and put down the lifeboat and row over. Anyway, there is not much cargo, and a few lifeboats can be pulled. Su Zirong walked over and said.

Yu Dafu nodded, "Okay, but you have to be careful when unloading, don't get wet, otherwise your work will be wasted." ”

"Rest assured, the outside is wrapped in a waterproof iron bucket, so it won't get wet even if you drop it in the water." Su Zirong smiled proudly.

"You're really thoughtful." Yu Dafu felt that although Su Zirong was a little tactful, he was still very thoughtful in doing things. All aspects are clearly considered, and it will not be as reckless as some people, and it saves a lot of effort to cooperate with such people.

"Let's go get something to eat first, wait a while for the boat to stop for a while, and then we'll go over after dark." Su Zirong said, leading Yu Dafu towards the cabin.

The cabin is not as comfortable as that of a passenger ship, and some seats are simply welded, but the food is very fragrant, and you can smell it from afar. Yu Dafu touched his stomach and smiled: "I'm really hungry." ”

Su Zirong warmly invited him to sit down, saying that the meal was prepared in advance, and he didn't know what flavor Yu Dafu liked.

After some polite words, the two of them began to eat and drink, and while they were eating, a crew member came over and said, "There is a telegram!" ”

Yu Dafu took the CC telegram and looked at it, his face changed greatly, "It's not good!" The news leaked. ”
