Chapter 242 Lobbying
What Lu Yuan said was to let Hogg and the two go to Hong Kong on the boat the next night, but they actually sent them away quietly the next morning. There happened to be a German freighter on the pier, and with the help of Colonel Moss, The owner will be happy to drop by fellow Germans Hogg and Schuchmann. "Mr. Colonel, I may take a long trip in the near future. Thank you for your secret protection during this time. If you and your men will not return to Germany in a short time, I would like to hire you to stay in Shanghai to protect my home. People, you should know that the situation in Shanghai is not very safe recently."

In fact, Lu Yuan has always known that there are surveillance personnel sent by Colonel Moss outside his residence. When he has sent Hogg away and he has a plan to implement, he might as well tell Colonel Moss directly. up. "You only have old people, children and women left here, and you really need protection. I can promise you, but you'd better come back sooner. I don't have a lot of time." Colonel Moss smiled and rushed Lu Yuan squinted his eyes, as if it wasn't surprising that Lu Yuanhui made such a request.

After walking out of the house, Lu Yuan pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized that what he did was not a cocoon, and he willingly handed over a room of old and weak women and children to Moss and the others. With these old and weak women and children, Moss did not need to Worried that I would flee Shanghai and never come back.Turning around and taking a look at his residence, Lu Yuan drove away with a self-deprecating smile on his face, and he had to rush to Hans' bar to meet with the military commander.

When Lu Yuan arrived at the bar, he didn't get off the car right away. Instead, he used the full-view map to search the surroundings of the bar carefully. After he was sure that there were no Japanese spies around the bar, Lu Yuan got out of the car and entered Hans's house. bar. "Lu, you're late, the guests have been waiting for a while." Hans was still wiping the cup at the bar, seeing Lu Yuan coming in, he just joked with Lu Yuan, and then asked Lu Yuan to go directly to his office .

In fact, Lu Yuan was not late, but Yao Qiang came a little early. After receiving the reply from Chongqing last night, Yao Qiang has been indulging in excitement.In Yao Qiang's understanding at the moment, Lu Yuan, a mysterious young man, is his noble person. As long as he successfully brokers the deal, he can be immediately transferred back to the rear area of ​​Chongqing. , and no longer have to worry about being captured and shot by Japanese intelligence agencies every day.

Seeing Yao Qiang again, Lu Yuan didn't know why the special envoy of the military command was so excited. In line with the principle of caution, Lu Yuan even secretly searched the bar as the center of several blocks with a full-view map. After confirming that nothing happened, Lu Yuan finally felt relieved. "Mr. Lu, I reported the matter to Chongqing yesterday, and the Chongqing side responded quickly. They hope that you, Mr. Lu, can send this batch of goods directly to the Chongqing wharf, and they promise that the goods will be delivered immediately when they arrive in Chongqing." Payment."

Yao Qiang's so-called guarantee made Lu Yuan curl his lips inwardly. Now that he said it sounded good, he was afraid that after the arms arrived in Chongqing, the Chongqing side would suddenly change their face and take all the people and goods into their pockets.Lu Yuan thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He just reached out and knocked on the table, and said to Yao Qiang with a distressed face, "Mr. Yao, how do you think a large cargo ship full of munitions should pass through the Yangtze River?" Mouth? I don’t think the Japanese soldiers are all idiots.”

Lu Yuan's words made Yao Qiang speechless. The national army had long lost control of the Yangtze Estuary. If Lu Yuan wanted to send the arms to the Chongqing Wharf, he had to find a way to pass the blockade and interrogation of the Japanese army at the Yangtze Estuary. Now Come to think of it, that is almost impossible.Lu Yuan had been secretly observing the changes in Yao Qiang's expression, and when he saw that Yao Qiang's mood had been influenced by his own words, Lu Yuan continued, "Actually, there is no other way, at least I can guarantee the ammunition this time. Arrive in Chongqing safely, because I used a German ship this time, no matter how arrogant the Japanese are, they dare not offend the Germans."

Lu Yuan's words made Yao Qiang feel like he was on a roller coaster. After falling to the lowest point in an instant, he rose to the highest point in an instant. "Okay, enough nonsense, I have a way to ensure the safety of military ships entering and leaving the Yangtze River, but you still need to report to Chongqing. I can guarantee that as long as Chongqing can agree to this plan, I promise that from now on Every month, an arms ship full of German weapons appears at the Chongqing dock."

Same as last time, Yao Qiang left the Rose Bar in a hurry, but this time, Yao Qiang's face was no longer pale. "What did you tell him? Look at his rosy face, he looks as excited as if he just had chicken blood." Hans looked at Lu Yuan who came out of the office. During this incident, Hans' eyes were full He was just a broker, but he never inquired about the content of the meeting between Lu Yuan and Yao Qiang.

"Give me a glass of beer, I have to wait for someone." Lu Yuan sat down at the bar, then habitually lowered his voice and said to Hansen. "The liaison officer of the Shanghai underground party of the Communist Party of China will come in a while. If I were you, I would find an opportunity to get in touch with them. Old man, it's time to find a way out for yourself. Your Excellency the head of state is completely crazy , I heard that the High Command is already secretly formulating an operational plan to launch a war, Your Excellency has a huge appetite, so big that you can't believe it."

Lu Yuan's words stunned Hans for a moment, then he handed Lu Yuan a glass of beer, then took a rag and wiped the bar carefully, after a while, Hans suddenly looked up at Lu Yuan. "Boy, what else do you know, why don't you just say it all. You know that I am a man of nothing, no matter what, I will not do anything that harms the interests of the empire." Hans didn't blink Staring at Lu Yuan, as long as Lu Yuan's answer is not paying attention, Hans' right hand under the bar will immediately stab a sharp knife towards Lu Yuan's neck.

"Okay, I'm not your enemy, can you put down the knife first." Lu Yuan leaned back with a face full of disgust, "I hate you guys who do intelligence the most, you are always going to be ruthless, you Can you wait for me to finish speaking first. If you want to kill me, you must first find out whether I am your enemy or not? I doubt how many innocent people you have killed over the years." Lu Yuanchong looked disgusted Hans kept shaking his head, and the latter could only look at Lu Yuan with embarrassment.

"Old man, what I meant just now is that you are not old enough to go to the battlefield. Even if you want to go back to China to join the war, our head of state may not be able to see an old man with white hair and beard like you. I am saying, I am very pessimistic about the war that the head of state is preparing to launch. I have learned about the battle plan they are making. The main framework is good, but some key details are full of the head of state's personal will. Once this battle plan is implemented, The whole of Germany will be dragged into the wagon of war, and there will only be two results in this way, either a failure to be crushed and ashes, or failure after a brief period of glory and besieged by groups."

Seeing that Hans still didn't believe what he said, Lu Yuan dipped his finger in the beer and drew a simple world map on the bar counter. "This is Germany. According to the plan of the head of state, France must be taken down. But Britain and France are allies, and the Soviets here have always been eyeing Europe. Even if the head of state signed the so-called Soviet-German alliance agreement with the Soviets, but When facing national interests, these things that exist on paper can only be empty words. Old man, do you think Germany will have the strength to deal with the Soviet Union and the Anglo-French alliance at the same time? What's more, the appetite of the head of state does not only include Europe. "

"This is the United States. Although the United States pursues isolationism, this country is a country with a strong commercial atmosphere. Once a war breaks out in Europe, do you think the Americans will sit idly by? Of course they will not rashly join the war, but they can help Britain and France To provide massive material supplies, you should know that making war fortune is the most profitable business, and the industrial level of the United States is not much weaker than that of Germany. With a stable material supplier, the Anglo-French alliance can wholeheartedly fight against the empire Go on, and the population and the source of soldiers are the fatal shortcomings of the empire."

What Lu Yuan said sounds irrelevant, but Hans' face has already changed drastically, but Lu Yuan continued, "Both Britain and France have overseas colonies, and their overseas colonies have a large population. You only need to equip them with weapons and go through simple training, and you can pull them up to play a game of population consumption with the empire. Even if this population consumption game is won by the empire in the end, don’t forget that at the same time, a huge amount of people will be consumed supplies, and this is also a fatal shortcoming of the empire."

"Britain and France are old colonial countries. They have a large number of back-up soldiers, and they also have the United States, the logistics chief who has made a lot of money in the war. But what does the empire have? It is an alliance with Japan. It is a pity that the Japanese are now only thinking about their own small calculations. In forming an alliance with Italy, Mussolini is simply a softie, and the empire can only rely on itself in the end. That's why I say that once the empire fails in this war, it will be a catastrophe."

"So, old man, hurry up and get ready. You don't think about yourself, at least you have to think about your family. At least get your family out of Germany before the head of state launches a war. Although China is not safe, But until the Japanese surrender, you Germans living in China are safe. After the war is over, you can go back to Germany or other countries, and you don’t have to take your own and your family’s life for this war. Life." Lu Yuan's persuasion finally changed Hans' heart, and he finally agreed that Lu Yuan would carefully consider the matter of contacting the underground party.
