Chapter 43: Untitled

The continuous search was fruitless, and the gendarmerie headquarters had no choice but to withdraw most of the gendarmes, but Sakata Goichi was still not relenting, and plainclothes agents headed by the special high-tech department still conducted secret searches in Hongkou District. Although the large-scale search has ended, Tegaoke still found some useful information from the many traces, and with all this related information, Sakata Goichi is even more looking forward to catching this mysterious person who has disappeared without a trace.

Lu Yuan, who suddenly lost his trace, became more mysterious in the eyes of Sakata Goichi and others, in fact, Lu Yuan did not leave Hongkou District, but the Japanese military police who participated in the search failed to find the location where Lu Yuan was hiding. In the backyard of that streetside house, Lu Yuan found a big pit in the backyard at that time, and then used the storage space to dig a pit next to the big pit, and then shrank into the pit, and the Japanese military police who entered the backyard to search could not imagine that Lu Yuan was hiding under their feet at that time.

Confirming that the Japanese army had given up continuing the search, Lu Yuan left the backyard, and when a large number of plainclothes agents were still secretly searching, Lu Yuan, who was disguised and disguised, left safely with a group of Japanese who left Hongkou District. "You are too careless this time, Hongkou District is a key control area of the Japanese army in Shanghai, and they put the Qian Army in Hongkou District, which is obviously a trap." Seeing Lu Yuan again, Xu Huanshan, who had been worried, was very annoyed, and his words were a little more stern.

Lu Yuan, who was lying on the desk, didn't care about it, just being told a few words, and he couldn't lose his meat. Seeing Lu Yuan's unstingy appearance, Xu Huanshan was even more angry, "You are lucky this time, if there is such a thing again, you had better think about it carefully before you act." If you keep acting carelessly like this, I'm afraid I won't have time to collect your body. The last two words Xu Huanshan said made Lu Yuan pause for a moment, and then pouted at the other party, and rolled his eyes by the way.

"As the old saying goes, people make mistakes, horses and horses, not to mention that I can't say that I have completely missed this time, at least I have attracted the main forces of Tegaoke and No. 76 to Hongkou District, which is beneficial to you and the military commander." As he spoke, Lu Yuan, who was filling his stomach, reached out and grabbed a napkin to wipe the oil stains on the corners of his mouth. "And I'm back unharmed now, which is a big blow to the Japanese army and Tegaoke." Lu Yuan didn't know that Li Shiqun was also injured by himself, otherwise, he would have mentioned the name of No. 76 just now.

Lu Yuan does not belong to the underground party organization, so even if Xu Huanshan is annoyed, Lu Yuan is helpless. After the two finished their meeting, Lu Yuan immediately returned to his residence and slept in the dark. Early the next morning, Lu Yuan, who had recovered his mental and physical strength, went out early, and after a simple breakfast, Lu Yuanjing went to Hans's bar. Hans's bar usually opens in the afternoon, probably because he was about to leave Shanghai, but Hans's Rose Bar opened early in the morning.

The bar opened early, and no customers came to the door, and when Lu Yuan walked into the bar, only Hans himself was sitting behind the bar and wiping his wine glasses. "When are you going to go?" Reaching out to take a glass of beer handed by Hans, Lu Yuan immediately asked Hans in a low voice. According to the irreversible relationship between Lu Yuan and Hans, Lu Yuan knew that he had asked this question, and Hans would not be angry. Sure enough, Hans only glanced at Lu Yuan when he heard this, but he couldn't see any anger on his face.

Seeing that Hans's expression was a little lonely, Lu Yuan knew that Hans was reluctant to leave Shanghai, so he sighed lightly. "I know you're worried about your men, but you know that as the war progresses and the tide of the war turns unfavorable, Hitler is likely to increase his troops. If you don't want to die like a wild dog in a foreign land, leaving now is the best policy. ”

Lu Yuan's persuasion finally made Hans stop what he was doing, and after a period of silence, Hans grabbed the wine glass in front of him and drank it all. "If you're worried about them, why don't I tell you where to go, anyway, you all have U.S. passports in your hands, and that place should be suitable for you." Seeing that Hans had a reaction to his words, Lu Yuan smiled and took out a world map, then took a pen and marked a mark in Alaska.

"If you have enough money, it's best to buy the place I'm talking about, Alaska is a vast and sparsely populated place, and it should be suitable for those of you who are tired of war to live in seclusion for a short time. When the war is over, you can bring your relatives in Germany to live in Alaska or the United States, and believe me, the nightmare will soon pass. Hans looked down at the map and found that the place marked by Lu Yuan was located on the shores of the Bering Strait, and he couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.

Seeing Hans with a puzzled expression, Lu Yuan immediately laughed and said, "Don't think about it, this place I said is a good place." As he spoke, Lu Yuan lowered his voice with a mysterious look. There's gold, a lot of gold, right on the coastal shallows. Do you know excavators? There is this kind of construction machinery in the United States, and if you can install one of these machines on a barge, and then add a sink and a sieve bed in the back, just in the shallow sea, you can scour a lot of gold out of the sediment of the riverbed, and it's natural golden sand. ”

Lu Yuan couldn't tell Hans that he had seen a documentary called Bering Sea's Great Gold Rush in later life, and knew that the town called Nome had not seen the gold cut off after decades of crazy gold panning. "Don't think Alaska is a wild place, in fact, Alaska has a lot of resources, especially oil and gold. Besides, the United States is about to intervene in the war, and once the United States enters the war, you Germans living in the United States may not be free from difficulties. Rather than being looked down upon, it is better to go to a place like Alaska that is far away from the American mainland and leave a family business for future generations. ”

Lu Yuan had already told Hans everything he knew, and as for how Hans and the others chose, Lu Yuan couldn't help him. Hans stared at the map carefully for a while, then silently put it away, poured another glass of spirits, and Hans finally raised his eyes to look at Lu Yuan. "It's leaving, I just got the news yesterday that the submarines of the Reich have sunk American merchant ships off the coast of Britain twice in a row, and the Americans are likely to use this as an excuse to join the war."

Hans's voice sounded a little heavy, Lu Yuan knew that Hans was no longer helpless about the imminent change of the war situation, Hans should have felt that he and the others should not abandon the motherland and go to the United States at this time. "Don't be so sentimental, old man, in this situation and situation, even if you return to Germany, it will be useless. Your Yuan Xiansheng has lost his heart, he can't listen to anyone's advice, I still say the same thing, rather than die in a foreign country, it is better to plan early. ”

If Lu Yuan's words were heard by other Germans, he would probably immediately turn his face with Lu Yuan, but Hans would not, he knew that Lu Yuan really didn't want to sacrifice himself in vain. Lu Yuan chatted with Hans all morning, until the bar began to have drinkers, and then Lu Yuan got up to say goodbye. "Lu, when I leave, I won't tell you in advance. To paraphrase your Chinese proverb, if you are destined to meet again, I hope you can live well, and I hope we can meet again. When sending Lu Yuan away, Hans quietly gave Lu Yuan a key, and formally and forcefully gave Lu Yuan a bear hug.

Lu Yuan, who was pushed out of the bar by Hans, did not dare to look back, he was afraid that he would turn back, and what he saw was Hans's face full of tears. Hans is a tough guy, he must not want to be seen as weak, so Lu Yuan did not look back, and after walking along the side of the street, Lu Yuan stopped and looked down at the key in his hand. There was also a note wrapped around the key, and on the note was an address that Lu Yuan knew, and it was a secret warehouse for Hans.

Quietly put the key into his storage space, Lu Yuanjing, who couldn't stop rubbing his eyes, called a rickshaw on the side of the street, and went directly to the address that Hans gave him. The area of the warehouse looks small, but when Lu Yuan opened the warehouse door with the key, he found that in this small-looking warehouse, dozens of wooden boxes were neatly stacked.

Lu Yuan immediately turned around and closed the corner door of the warehouse, then turned on the electric light, and for the rest of the time, Lu Yuan only did one thing repeatedly, that is, he kept prying open the box. In the warehouse that Hanster intended to leave to Lu Yuan, there were at least 300 brand-new Mauser rifles and a large number of bullets, in addition to a batch of medicines and more than a dozen German-style radio stations.

"Lao Xu, I don't want much, you have seen these weapons and ammunition, as well as medicines and radios. It's all new and pretty, I don't have such a big family background to give you the underground party, but I won't open my mouth, you can just give a little bit of it yourself. But there is one thing, I don't want money and oceans, I only accept gold bars now. Lu Yuan counted the things in the warehouse, and called Xu Huanshan, this time, Lu Yuan didn't plan to give it to the underground party for nothing.

Xu Huanshan had already been dazzled by the weapons and ammunition in front of him, especially the medicines and radio stations that Lu Yuan singled out, which made Xu Huanshan even more happy. "Okay, okay, I won't call you for nothing this time." Lu Yuan gave Xu Huanshan banknotes from all over the world last time, and took US dollars or pounds sterling to exchange gold bars in the black market, which is not a difficult thing for the underground party, and Lu Yuan did not say how many gold bars he wanted.
