Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 789
"You are only four or five years older than me, and you are only in your early thirties now, but you are too old after not seeing you for a few years." Qian Xiaobao looked at the person standing at the door and said with a sigh.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were very familiar with each other, he would definitely not have recognized that the one standing in front of him was that young master who was famous in Harbin back then——Guan Xiaoye, Guan Bicheng.

"Come in, let's talk. Where have you been all these years and what have you been doing?" Qian Xiaobao said while holding Master Guan's hand.

Guan Xiaoye walked into the room, Qian Xiaobao closed the door, and the two of them sat on the couch together.

"It seems that you are doing well now, and you actually went to London to live in such an expensive hotel." Guan Xiaoye said.

"When did I have a hard time?" Qian Xiaobao said with a smile.

"The Anti-Japanese War has been won for two years, why don't you go home?" Qian Xiaobao asked curiously.

"I'll go back at the end of four or five years, but I'll be back half a year later." Guan Xiaoye agreed with a gloomy expression.

"Since we have already gone back, why do we have to come back?" Qian Xiaobao was even more surprised.

"When Germany attacked France, I went to Portugal and then to the UK. At that time, the UK was recruiting a large number of sailors. A large number of people were needed on the merchant ships traveling between the United States and the UK. Not only me, but also many Chinese in the UK at that time. Participated. At that time, we all thought that Britain and China were allies, and attacking the Germans was attacking the Japanese. The recruitment conditions are very simple. I have worked on a merchant ship of a shipping company in Liverpool for more than four years." Guan Xiaoye replied.

"You don't want to die!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"Yes, many merchant ships were sunk by German submarines at that time, and many people died. There were also many Chinese people. I was in charge of maintaining diesel engines and pipelines below the deck. If a merchant ship was hit by a torpedo, I wanted to run away. It's hard." Guan Xiaoye replied.

Qian Xiaobao looked at Guan Xiaoye's weather-beaten face, no wonder he had aged so much.

"Did you see your parents when you returned to China in four or five years?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"I see, they also told me about you. I heard from them that my parents and you met before leaving Harbin. Thank you for persuading my parents to leave Harbin. They are now living in Tianjin and everything is fine." The young man replied.

In [-], Guan Xiaoye's father, Director Guan of the Finance Bureau of Binjiang Province in Manchuria, wanted to retire. He went to Qian Xiaobao's house to inquire about the real situation of the war. Qian Xiaobao told him that the sooner he left, the better. .

As a result, Director Guan resigned from his fat and oily post at the end of [-] and returned to Tianjin.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many relatives of the emperor lived in Tianjin, because it was safe with a concession like Shanghai.

"So you have a woman in England?" Qian Xiaobao asked suddenly.

Guan Xiaoye looked at Qian Xiaobao in surprise, he didn't expect his reaction to be so fast.

"How do you know?" Guan Xiaoye asked.

"Do you need to think about it? You have already returned to China but left your parents and ran back to England. If it's not for a woman, what else is it for?" Qian Xiaobao replied.

Guan Xiaoye stared at Qian Xiaobao for a long time and finally nodded and said, "Yes, I came back to England just because of Jenny. I met her in a bar in Liverpool when I was a crew member. The two of us lived together before the end of the war." We got together and had a child. But in October [-], when I went shopping, I was suddenly arrested by the police, and then escorted to an ocean-going ship and sent back to China. They didn’t even give me a chance to say goodbye to Jenny, Jenny thought I was missing, so she went to the police station to call the police, but no one told her the truth. We were heroes during the war, but when the war was over, we immediately became a thorn in the side of the British!"

"These foreign devils are like this. We can only talk about interests but not feelings with them. So when you return to England this time, you plan to bring your wife and children back to China?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Hearing Qian Xiaobao's question, Guan Xiaoye was hesitant to answer.

Qian Xiaobao suddenly realized that Guan Xiaoye's parents would definitely not agree to his son marrying a foreign woman.They are relatives of the Qing emperor, yellow belts and yellow jackets are fine, but yellow-haired daughter-in-law and yellow-haired grandson are absolutely not!
Maybe Guan Xiaoye sneaked back to England without telling his parents.This kid is used to being self-willed, and he can definitely do this kind of thing.

"What are you going to do now?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"I want to earn some money first and then go to France to finish my studies, but I don't dare to show up now, I can only sneak around. If the British police find out, they will send me away immediately. This time, it was Jenny who suggested me after reading the newspaper advertisement. Come and try, I didn't expect to meet you." Guan Xiaoye replied.

"I'm going to Germany to buy a batch of equipment. If you help me with this, I will leave a sum of money for you to complete your studies." Qian Xiaobao said.

"What equipment to buy?" Guan Xiaoye asked.

"I bought a batch of equipment for the production of vinylon. I'm going to Germany soon. You will be my interpreter." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Guan Xiaoye can speak both English and French now, so it should be no problem for him to work as an interpreter for Qian Xiaobao in Germany.

"Is China going to start producing vinylon now? Didn't the war start when I left China? Where will the factory be built?" Guan Xiaoye asked.

Hearing Guan Xiaoye's question, even Qian Xiaobao felt discouraged.

"It's not a Chinese factory, but a Japanese factory. I'm working for a Japanese company now. But in the future, China will be peaceful, and I will definitely go back to China to build a big factory!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"It seems that you don't understand the current situation in Europe. You can't buy equipment in Germany. During the war, German factories were basically destroyed, and the Allied forces are still dismantling German factories to de-industrialize Germany. Now Europe The life of the common people is hard, without food, they will starve, without coal, they will be frozen in winter, and many people starve to death and freeze to death." Guan Xiaoye said.

"Then what do you think I should do? I can't go back empty-handed, right?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"When the Japanese and Chinese mention Europe, they think that German machinery and equipment are the best. In fact, Britain and France also have large chemical companies. British Bouinemen and French Elf should be able to sell vinylon. Equipment. You can consult it in the next few days." Guan Xiaoye said.

"Okay, as my assistant and translator, you go with me!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"I'll get to know the company first, and then the two of us will go!" Guan Xiaoye said.

Three days later, accompanied by Guan Xiaoye, Qian Xiaobao went to Bu Neimen, which is the headquarters of the British Imperial Chemical Industries Company.

After a few days of research by Guan Xiaoye, Chairman Takashima not only became interested in the polyester invented by Bu Neimen, but also became more interested in the 666 insecticide they invented!
Isn't the Japanese agriculture that has been restored after the war needs a lot of such pesticides?
