Chapter 105: Mr. Li
The car had been out for 20 minutes, and it had already left the gate of Nanjing for more than 20 kilometers. A truck behind was half crazy, and it followed, telling the driver to ignore it and move at speed. After chasing for about another 10 kilometers and blocking us in front, I got out of the car and waved to the bodyguards on the truck to extend the large-caliber anti-tank rifle out of the compartment.
The lieutenant colonel officer got out of the car, with an angry look on his face, and slowly became surprised to see our state of alert. Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, don't misunderstand, General Zhang wants to meet you, please follow me." ”
"Lieutenant Colonel, I'm sorry, my American friend doesn't believe you very much. Please don't stop us from going back to Shanghai. ”
"Sir, please advise your friend to go and see General Zhang."
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the American, sometimes, is stubborn, he doesn't believe you anymore. Please don't cause diplomatic trouble, and if General Zhang does have the idea of receiving him, please send someone else to explain it. Now it's basically in the wilderness, and I see that the bodyguards are very nervous. In the event of an accident, how troublesome it will be for you and me, it is recommended that you go to the township in front and call back for instructions, maybe General Zhang will cancel it directly. ”
Seeing the lieutenant colonel's hesitant appearance, he turned back and got into the car without saying a word, and this guy went directly to the front township to stop for a while, waiting for him to call for instructions.
It was another half an hour before a car and a truck arrived. Seeing a dozen soldiers disembarking from the truck, I was a little nervous again. The bodyguards were quickly deployed, and a man with a sniper rifle ran directly into a resident's house, saw the dazzling armor, and looked at a group of infantry with unknown rifles and iron pipes, and the truck was also at a loss.
A colonel's officer ran down from the car and came to him and said, "Don't get me wrong, sir, the general is in the car, and those are the general's guards." ”
"I'm sorry, Americans are cautious, don't care!" Turned around and beckoned Woody to get out of the car, and accompanied Woody to the side of the car, where a general wearing the rank of general came down, taller than himself, with a straight nose and a square mouth! The colonel's officer said that it was General Zhang Zhizhong, and I translated it to Woody, and introduced Mr. Woody Asimov, the manager of the American Trading Company, who himself translated the greetings between the two people, and that the general was no stranger to foreigners, and that his expression was neither humble nor arrogant. When I translated, I said casually, it's just a foreigner, and the general doesn't have to be polite, which caused the general to laugh. The general asked, and I replied that I would go straight to the shooting range.
The general said, "His bodyguards are well-trained," and he was noncommittal, beckoning the bodyguards to get in the car and follow.
There is a shooting range in the courtyard of the military school, which is not large in scale and the basic facilities are quite complete. It was not only the general who got out of the general's car, but also a leader he could never forget, Mr. Li!
Instructed the bodyguards to put the two weapons in place, let Woody introduce them, and translate them himself. Woody is basically unclear about weapons, just say it in a word, you are clear about weapons, just say it.
It has become the center of the shooting range, detailing the performance and use of the two weapons, and the methods and methods; And it is specifically pointed out that it was really developed for Japanese tanks. Attracting the attention of the general to observe the weapon, according to the performance of the weapon, the general arranged to set up steel plates of various thicknesses and slopes at the shooting range. Two bodyguards were arranged to shoot weapons, and Woody and Woody accompanied the general and Mr. Lee to the bunker to observe the live firing.
The general was amazed at the level of the two individual anti-tank weapons, which were certainly the most advanced in this era, as the shots pierced through the steel plates of different thicknesses and distances. At the end of the shooting, the general personally went to the shooting range to inspect the armor-piercing effect, and he did not follow the past, but stayed in the distance to accompany Mr. Li intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing a large group of officers following the general to the shooting range, he said, "Mr. Li, do you want to go and have a look together?" ”
"Good! Let's take a look. Mr. Li was able to introduce advanced weapons, and he also had the people in mind! ”
"It should be! Compared with your party's feelings for the country and the people, it is not worth mentioning! ”
"The goal is the same, like Mr. Li's bodyguard, Mr. Han Ping, who is a very good hero for the country and the people." Mr. Li slowed down and said almost word for word.
"Mr. Li, Han Ping is not only a hero, but also a good person. Before the enemy, he folded the general, which made people feel painful! As soon as I heard the meaning, I knew that everyone knew everything, and telling the truth was also my plan, after all, the depression in my heart could not be dissipated.
"Mr. Li, is something going on? Is it serious? ”
"Sir knows that good people tend to do wrong things with good intentions. Those who cannot strictly keep secrets are often not competent for secret work. Han Ping's imprudentness and inability to keep secrets, and some of the arrangements I have painstakingly worked on have to be adjusted on a large scale, and the damage caused is beyond his own estimates. ”
"So serious? It's already this point? ”
"Sir doesn't know, my family only has my stepmother and my sister, if something happens to my stepmother, I will die! Moreover, the contribution she was able to provide to the cause of the anti-Japanese cause is incomparable to me. Han Ping's leak made it possible for a three-sided agent to get in touch with my stepmother. You know that my stepmother is a technical talent, and she is like a simple girl who is wary of others. In order to ensure my stepmother's safety, I had to stop her work, and I had to do everything possible to hide her from the world. I think my stepmother must have regretted not listening to my admonition, at least she didn't have the pay to help her comrades.
My stepmother is a person who is not afraid of death, and if she is killed by the Japanese or with ulterior motives like this, it is too worthless, it is a loss for our nation, and her innocence will bring greater danger to her comrades-in-arms and relatives.
Sir, do good people do not need to be punished if they do wrong? That is, I also think that Han Ping is a good person, so there is no head to the ground. I gave him three years to decrypt it, and it was also time for me to clear the secrets he knew. My husband knows how many people I need to withstand and what price I need to do this compared to a bullet. I gave him a second chance to promise me, and he did it again. If he has any problems in three years, he won't even have a chance to kill the devil in three years, and I think he has the courage to self-judge.
If there is a lack of weapons and ammunition that can be purchased through trade, find my grandfather plan, there are certain discounts, I have already explained. ”
After saying something, I was a little angry, but after I finished speaking, I was also a lot more comfortable! Mr. Li didn't answer, just nodded. I have said it myself and expressed it clearly, but it is none of my business how others interpret it.
After looking at the shooting range, I returned to the reception room of the military school. Everyone sat down, tasted a few sips of fragrant tea, and the general waved his men to retreat, and there were only four people in the living room: the general, Mr. Li, Woody, and me. The general picked up the list of offers and said, "Mr. Woody, the weapons are good, it's just too expensive!" ”
I translated for Woody and motioned for him to be quiet. I took the list and looked at it, and said to the general: "General, I'm sorry, that's the price, in fact, I forgot to increase the tariff, forget it this time." Japan's miniature or light tanks basically cost no less than $30,000, and the point is that we don't have effective means to deal with tanks! The better ones were the 37 anti-aircraft guns, and the Soviet anti-tank rifles were not as good as they could be. Firearms are relatively expensive, almost 3 months' salary of a Japanese general, generals, new weapons, there is no large production, and the price cannot go down for the time being. ”
The general said: "Mr. Li, you must know that the procurement of weapons involves various issues, including a series of issues such as verification and adjustment of the army's overall weapon configuration. ”
After thinking about it, he said directly to the general: "General Zhang, I understand what you mean, one is that the weapon has not been developed for a long time, and it is necessary to guard against theft by the Japanese. It's just that when it's time to take it out, the general knows the current situation more nuanced than I do, and it is estimated that in less than five months, you will be in command and go to the front line against the full-scale invasion of Japan! ”
The general almost stood up in surprise and said, "How can you be sure? On what basis? ”
