Although Germany eventually became a defeated country in World War II, the military leaders of all countries in the world were full of praise for the tenacity and excellent combat effectiveness of the German soldiers, and even the Americans, who gave Germany the final blow, had to admit that the German army's combat effectiveness was superior. Lu Yuan is not a so-called German fan, but as a senior military enthusiast, Lu Yuan is very interested in the military uniforms of the German army in World War II.

Before the ship docked, Lu Yuan, who was standing on the deck, saw Schuchmann on the dock at a glance, after all, Schuchmann's German uniform was really eye-catching. "Boss, I didn't expect you to come to Nanjing early." Reaching out to take the leather bag that Lu Yuan was carrying, Shu Heman, who was sturdy and straight, opened the car door for Lu Yuan with a smile, "Hogg took someone across the river to buy food, so I am the only one to pick you up." ”

The front of the black sedan was planted with a German flag in front of it, and when it looked like it was the car of the German consulate, Lu Yuan nodded to Schuchmann and got into the car. "Boss, this car was temporarily lent to us by the German consulate, but General Haussmann left us a few motorcycles before returning home, but the adjutant Luca took care of the fuel very strictly, and we didn't want to have a conflict with him because of these hours." Seeing that Lu Yuan was looking at the luxurious interior of the sedan after getting into the car, Schuhman explained in a low voice.

Lu Yuan shook his head with a smile when he heard this, "Don't get in the way, when I see Adjutant Luca, the problem of fuel will be solved." In the future, when you go out to run errands, if the distance is not very far, the motorcycle should be very convenient. Before you came to Nanjing, how did I explain your affairs? I've brought in another amount of money this time, but I don't think it's enough. ”

Shu Heman naturally knew what Lu Yuan was asking, and then very vaguely glanced at the driver driving in front of him, and after Lu Yuan said that he understood, Shu Heman changed the topic to Lu Lu and asked about himself and Hogg's family. "They are very good, and after you leave Shanghai, I will borrow Mr. Hansen's men and help your family move to me. I had just hired an American tutor for your children before I left, and I personally think it would not hurt to learn some English. ”

Schuchmann, Hogg and others came to Nanjing for more than a month, and they did not lose contact with their families during this period, he chose this time to ask Lu Yuan about his family's situation, just to prevent the driver from being suspicious. The car drove towards Xiaofenqiao, and Lu Yuan and Schuchmann were just talking about some inconsequential trivial matters, until Schuchmann hinted to Lu Yuan that it was almost time to arrive, and Lu Yuan mentioned going to Germany after the year.

"Schuchmann, you and Hogg must be very busy during this time, I think you must hire me a German teacher, and in almost half a year, I think I can speak German more fluently." Lu Yuan turned his head to look at Schuchmann with a smile, and the latter complained to Lu Yuan with understanding, thinking that he and Hogg could choose one of them to be Lu Yuan's German teacher, after all, the two of them were Germans with good roots.

"Boss, we have arrived, this is our residence in Nanjing." The car slowly drove into a courtyard on the side of the road, and in a small courtyard, there were more than a dozen people standing in a disorderly manner, several of whom were wearing German uniforms like Schuhmann. "Boss, these are all people recruited by me and Hogg in Nanjing, and none of them are Germans who can wear military uniforms, and the rest of them are Germans." Schuchmann explained in a low voice to Lu Yuan, who realized why there were still people here in civilian clothes.

Early in the morning, they learned that Schuchman had gone out to pick up the boss, and the Westerners who accepted Schuchmann's and Hogg's employment had been waiting in the courtyard, but they didn't expect that what Schuchman had picked up was a boy who looked like he had just come of age, and he was a black-haired Asian. "Hey, Schuchman, are you mistaken? Didn't you say to pick up the boss? How do you get a brunette kid back? Are you kidding us? Several Germans in military uniforms did not say a word, but it was one of those civilians who made fun of Lu Yuan.

"Henry, can I understand your current behavior as a provocation?" When his boss was provoked, Schuchmann was furious, and he took a few steps forward to face the guy named Henry. "Henry, Lu is my boss and your boss, if you don't want to accept my boss's employment, you can leave here. Before you leave, I have to apologize to my boss, or I'll break your neck. ”

Henry, who was obviously afraid of being stared at by Shuchman with a pair of big copper bell eyes, couldn't help but feel a little weak, but he was not willing to be suppressed by Shuchman, and then took a step back and stretched out his hand to point at Lu Yuan, who had been standing by the car, and shouted. "Guys, am I wrong? Isn't that dark-haired kid over there? Do you want to believe that such a brunette kid is our boss? Well, even if he's the boss, do you think he can afford to pay our retainer? ”

It can be seen that this guy named Henry is not a brainless person, at least his words have attracted the attention of several other civilians dressed up, although they did not express doubts to Lu Yuan in person like Henry, but looking at the eyes they looked at Lu Yuan and Shu Heman at this time, the worry and doubt in their hearts had been clearly revealed. "Enough, Henry, if it weren't for William recommending you to us, we wouldn't have hired a guy like you who was expelled from the army. Since you can't trust us, please leave now. ”

The anger in Schuchman's heart finally broke out, but he still couldn't hold back and didn't smash his clenched fist on Henry's face, and after getting Lu Yuan's signal, Schuchman just asked Henry to leave. "Look, folks, this damned German is going to drive me away, apparently what I just said scared them. Guys, are you going to stay here? They're damn Germans in military uniforms. Henry didn't expect Schuchmann to drive him away, and immediately shouted out to the few remaining people in civilian attire.

"Mr. Henry, I think you have made a mistake, not because what you just said scares us, but because you are a person of very bad character, so we don't want to hire you anymore." Seeing that this guy named Henry was trying his best to trick the others into leaving with him, Lu Yuan immediately took a few steps forward and smiled at Henry. "My name is Lu Yuan, I am the boss who hired you, since I dare to hire you, I definitely have the employment fee that can be paid to you, if you don't think it is necessary to accept the employment of my family, then, you can leave at any time."

With an income of $300 a month, this is not a good thing to happen all the time, especially in China. The civilian-dressed guys who were seduced by Henry looked at each other, and then chose to stand away from Henry and stand beside Schuchmann. "Damn, you damn it, you'll regret it sooner or later." Seeing that no one supported him, Henry had to throw down a few cruel words, and then left angrily.

"Well, gentlemen, you have finally made the right choice. As a reward for making the right choice, I have decided that everyone here today will receive a prize of 20 oceans. In front of everyone, Lu Yuan took out a few oceans from his leather bag and handed them to Shu Heman, and the latter gave 20 oceans to everyone in the courtyard as Lu Yuan said just now.

"It's okay, Schuchman, it's not your fault or Hogg's fault that we're suddenly going to have to hire a lot of people, and we're going to have a few guys like Henry in between. But you have to be careful, once Adjutant Lukka brings in the weapons, you have to make sure that among the people we hire, it is only the Germans who will come into contact with the weapons, and I really don't worry that there will be guys like Henry among the people who are equipped with weapons. In the face of Schuchmann's self-blame, Lu Yuan persuaded him with kind words, and then told him another thing.

"Boss, don't worry, General Hausman also mentioned this issue before he left, so I discussed it with Hogg and decided that Adjutant Luka would be in charge of the weapons. Not only were all the people who had access to the weapons, but they were also screened through the investigation of Adjutant Luca, who would coordinate a squad of German soldiers from the consulate to assist us when the weapons were issued. Schuchman's answer made Lu Yuan very satisfied, so that there was no need to worry about accidents due to weapons at that time.

Originally, according to Schuchmann's idea, Lu Yuan came to Nanjing, and after settling down, he should accompany Lu Yuan around the city, at least to enjoy the many delicacies in Nanjing. It's just that Lu Yuan himself didn't have this plan, and after packing his luggage, Lu Yuan followed Shu Heman into the tunnel below the residence. "Boss, there is no better way, Nanjing is too close to the Yangtze River, once the hole is dug too deep, the groundwater will seep up. Therefore, we can only dig horizontally now, but such a hole may leak because there is no way to insulate the sound. ”

"It's okay Schuchmann, we're not trying to dig a tunnel in the true sense of the word. This kind of tunnel is actually only for temporary concealment, and it is a big deal that we can set up a kitchen or craft workshop above the tunnel, and as long as the Japanese army does not dare to disperse all of us here, they will not be able to discover this tunnel. Lu Yuan was quite satisfied with this 2-meter-wide tunnel, and after being dug horizontally by Shuchman and others, the original tunnel was more like a Tibetan cave.
