Nanking. In the office of the head of the secret service department of the China Renaissance Society, Dai Li, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat crookedly on a chair, staring at Huang Debiao standing at the desk with his hands down.

Dai Li, known as "Jiang's Sabre", is known for his ruthlessness in the dark world of the Republic of China, and under his coercion, even the leader of a ruthless killer organization like Huang Debiao, who takes pleasure in killing, still oozes fine cold sweat on his forehead. Cautiously, Huang Debiao said: "The people around Ouyang Yun are indeed extraordinary......

With a cold snort, Dai Li interrupted him: "I naturally know this, do you think Zhang Zhen and Guo Biao are both eating dry rice?" Hmph, not to mention what kind of wolf teeth, you should know the quality of the soldiers in the first regiment of the gendarmerie. Otherwise, why should I entrust this task to you? But it's better that you didn't do what you were told, and you had all the members of the Einsatzgruppen team killed. The most unforgivable thing is that after so many subordinates died, they were still tracked by the other party! Biaozi, I really don't know what you've been doing lately, and you won't use all the money I gave you to support your aunts, right? ”

"Director, how dare I have the guts, I didn't dare to withhold any of those funds, and I bought all the best firearms. However, those people around Ouyang Yun, they are really ......"

"Are you scared?!"

His head hung lower, and the bloody scene of Xuzhou Railway Station came to mind, Huang Debiao wanted to say two cruel words, but he couldn't say a word after a long time.

Like the Fox Hitomi of the Cadet Division, the Secret Service also has strongholds throughout the country, and spies have infiltrated among the warlords everywhere. Among them, the Cantonese and Gui factions, which have always been at odds with Lao Chiang, are their key targets. Not long after Ouyang Yun came to Nanjing, Dai Li received a message from Guangzhou that Yun Chen Jitang actually intended to contact Ouyang Yun to discuss related cooperation matters. And the task he gave Huang Debiao was to follow Ouyang Yun and wait for the opportunity to kill Chen Jitang when the two sides were gathering. In this way, not only can the Cantonese system be dismantled, but it can also tarnish the reputation of the cadets and weaken their credibility in the eyes of warlords everywhere.

Huang Debiao didn't dare to ignore it after receiving the task, so he mobilized all his elite subordinates to rush to Xuzhou, in a vain attempt to keep an eye on Ouyang Yun and his party from the beginning, and wait for an opportunity to attack after arriving in Guangzhou. But what he didn't expect was that his subordinates, who had always been used to domineering, actually clashed with the cadet at the Xuzhou Railway Station, and the horror was that none of the five subordinates who were relied on as their right-hand men could retreat with their whole body. He knew the strength of his henchmen, even if he and any of them fought alone, they might not be able to take advantage, but after the scene, they seemed to have been killed one by one, how could he not be silenced by the strength of the apprentice.

"Is the strength of the Cadet really so terrifying?!" Dai Li saw Huang Debiao looking like such a bear, although his face was still fierce, his heart gradually calmed down. After thinking about it, he waved his hand to let Huang Debiao retreat, and then shouted for Zhang Qin to come in.

Later, a man in his thirties, wearing glasses, walked in. "Director," he called respectfully, and Zhang Qin stood up facing Dai Li.

"Ouyang Yun, do they have any news?"

"It's confirmed, it's on the train from Lianyungang to Guangzhou the day before yesterday."

"Do you have more detailed information? How many people were with him? Is it a broadsword or a wolf's fang, or is it our counterpart, the fox pupil? ”

Zhang Qin shook his head.

frowned, waved him to step back, and then, Dai Li, picked up the phone, dialed a few times, and soon, a female voice came from inside: "Director." ”

"Call me to Guangzhou, and let Wang Dajiang spare no effort to implement the 'stabbing high' plan, remember, the guns used are only allowed to be 'go to the sick' or 'Wei Qing'!"

"Yes."

Almost at the same time, in the office of the chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, Lao Jiang copied two pieces of paper in his left hand and looked at them seriously. On the first sheet of paper are sketches of "Go to Disease" and "Wei Qing", and below are the corresponding data; On the second piece of paper, the 38th Division and the Cadet Division were equipped with these two types of firearms.

Chen Bui stood at the desk with his hands down, watching quietly.

After a while, Lao Jiang raised his head and asked, "Are these data accurate?" ”

"Yes, it was sent by Director Dai himself."

Pointing to a bunch of numbers on the second piece of paper, Lao Jiang said coldly: "The Cadet Division has already equipped two regiments with this 'Weiqing-style' automatic rifle, plus a regiment from Zhang Zizhong's department, two companies from Zhao Dengyu's department, and a guard company from Song Zheyuan, that is to say, the Cadet Arsenal has produced at least 4,000 finished products, why did the secret service only submit this report today?!" ”

Seeing that Lao Jiang did not put his mind on the powerful firepower of the two firearms, but came to such a conclusion through a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Chen Bui immediately saw sweat on his forehead, and he first clapped a section respectfully and said: "The chairman of the committee is wise, and he can see the key at a glance." Would you like to ask Director Dai to come over and explain in person? ”

"There's no need for that!" Slapping the two pieces of paper on the table, Lao Jiang stood up with his hands behind his back: "I really can't see it, this Ouyang Yun is really good at creating surprises?" First there was oil, then there were off-road vehicles, and now there were automatic rifles and general-purpose machine guns. You will go to Dai Li, and ask him to find a way to get a batch of these firearms in the near future, no matter what method he uses, and I would like to know which one is more advantageous than the German ordnance. By the way, is General Falkenhausen back? ”

"I've come back from Jiangyin."

"Then you make arrangements, and tomorrow I will invite him to my house for dinner."

"Yes!" Chen Bui took out his notepad and sketched it for a while, and then gently retreated.

At six o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, when the sky was just dark, the Xiaohongshan Mansion, located more than 200 meters east of Sifang City in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, welcomed a German guest, Alexander ? Feng? Falkenhausen. This is not the first time that Falkenhausen has been invited to visit the Xiaohongshan Residence, which also illustrates his personal relationship with the elder Jiang Haolu, although this relationship is based on his predecessor Hans? Feng? On the basis of the close personal relationship between Seckert and Lao Chiang.

Falkenhausen was a man of relative integrity compared to other members of the German advisory board, and his greatest contribution to old China was the "Proposal on Countermeasures to the Situation," which was secretly drafted in July. In this proposal, he boldly predicted the coming Sino-Japanese war and carefully conceived a strategic framework. He went straight to the point and put the contradictions between China and Japan on the top priority of the Nationalist Government at present, and tactfully criticized Lao Chiang's policy of non-resistance to Japan. He carefully analyzed the worst-case scenario that could arise after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, listed the most dangerous places outside North China, and also analyzed the Japanese army's naval offensive routes. It was under his auspices that the Nationalist Government established a strong defense system south of the Yangtze River. And the plan to replace the soldiers with the water of the Yellow River, which made Lao Jiang famous, also came from this proposal.

In Ouyang Yun's plan for his trip to Nanjing, he originally wanted to meet Falkenhausen, but unfortunately, Falkenhausen happened to be in Jiangyin at that time, so he had to give up this plan.

"General Falkenhausen, this trip to Jiangyin has been hard!" Lao Jiang changed out of his military uniform, wore a long robe, and stood at the door in person accompanied by an interpreter to greet him.

After pausing the translator's relay, Falkenhausen smiled and nodded: "It's right to serve you." Then he took off his military hat and handed it to the servant beside him.

"It's still early for dinner, let's go to the study and have a cup of tea," said Lao Jiang, and ushered him into his study.

After entering the study, after the servant served tea, Lao Jiang put the two pieces of paper in front of Falkenhausen: "General, please take a look at this." ”

Falkenhausen was holding a teacup in his hand at this time, and when he heard this, he glanced at Lao Jiang suspiciously, saw his serious expression, and listened to the words of the translator, hurriedly put down the teacup and picked up the two pieces of paper, and swept it slightly, he was stunned, and then devoted himself to it. Without looking at the second piece of paper, he asked Lao Jiang in surprise: "Chairman, this, is this your own design?" ”

Shaking his head a little painfully, Lao Jiang said, "Please look at the second one." ”

After reading the second one, Falkenhausen understood everything. "It's incredible," he said, "if the data is reliable, then it means a revolution in firearms." But! How do I think this machine gun is a bit similar to the MG34 being developed in our country? ”

Lao Jiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Does your country also have this kind of firearm?" Ever since he knew that the Dao Soldier had been able to produce this kind of gun, Lao Jiang felt uneasy in his heart, and even regretted reaching such an agreement with the Cadet for a while. The gun is the courage of the soldier, and the army is the basis for him to achieve Hitler-like rule. If the cadet becomes his enemy, then even if he has millions of soldiers, what do he ask the soldiers to fight with each other? This is what he is worried about now.

Germany's ongoing development of MG34 is still a secret, Falkenhausen heard that he was speechless, he did not answer Lao Jiang's question, but asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency, I heard that Ouyang Yun, the soul of the cadet division, came to Nanjing this time, I wonder if I can meet him." ”

"He's gone."

"yes, that's a shame!" After carefully looking at the gun diagram on the first piece of paper, Falkenhausen found something strange again, and he asked, "Did this Ouyang Yun stay in our German Army?" ”

Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"These two firearms, both in terms of design style and manufacturing process, are very similar to our German ordnance."

"Impossible, Ouyang Yun is only 21 years old, and according to the information we have, he has been staying in the United States before."

"America, that's weird. Could it be that the US military industry has reached such a level? Or is there an ordnance wizard like our German Mauser brothers on the cadet division?! ”

Hearing him compare the people who designed these two guns with the Mauser brothers, Lao Jiang had a strange look on his face, and he asked, "General, please tell me the truth, which of them is more powerful than the guns you sold us." ”

Falkenhausen's gaze never left the two sheets of paper from beginning to end, and after listening to the translator's paraphrase, he smiled bitterly: "Of course, the cadet is more powerful, although the Kar98k is excellent, it does not have the function of continuous fire." There is also this sick-going universal machine gun, which, if I guess correctly, can be used not only as support fire for low-level units, but also for air defense, and even as a tank machine gun. After saying this, he was silent for a while and suddenly asked a question that made Lao Jiang quite embarrassed: "Chairman, what is the relationship between the Nationalist Government and the Cadet Division?" Subordinate or ally, or enemy? ”

The Germans' question was so direct that it took the always conceited old Chiang to give a suitable answer: "We have just signed an agreement that stipulates that the cadet division must recognize the status of the central government. ”

After listening to the translator's somewhat rap translation, the German's eyes lit up: "That's great, chairman, I suggest that you immediately order a batch of these two firearms from the cadet division, and then take out a few as samples and send them to Germany." I think that with the current strength of our country, it is not difficult to replicate them, and maybe we can develop more advanced products. ”

Lao Jiang had such an idea when he first saw this report, but he was not sure that Ouyang Yunken was willing to sell it to him, and he did not have much confidence in the military industry department of the central government. He asked, "What does the general mean, we should be armed with these two firearms." ”

"Of course."

"However, we have already signed an agreement with your country," Chiang said, adding another layer of concern. He is now carrying out military reforms, which are entirely supported by these Germans, who fear that the German government will be dissatisfied with the purchase of cadets or the production of their own guns, and that if they recall the advisory group, they will lose more than they have gained.

Among the previous German advisory groups, Falkenhausen is the one closest to China, and even some German businessmen wonder whether he is a native or not. Hearing Lao Chiang's concerns, Falkenhausen showed his closeness to China again, and he smiled and said: "If the chairman of the committee is willing to send a few samples to China, I don't think those politicians in China will mind if you unilaterally violate the agreement." ”

"Oh, in that case, please ask the general to mediate a lot."

"Definitely."
