"Have you really decided to go to Nanjing?" When he met Lu Yuan again, Xu Huanshan's expression was obviously a lot haggard, the Japanese army's advantage in Shanghai had been seen at a glance, and even the Japanese spies had begun to stir up trouble in the concession, and many people of the Shanghai underground party had disappeared or died in recent days, and several contact points they had originally intended to provide to Lu Yuan had been destroyed.

"Lao Xu, you should know my style of doing things, since I have already spoken my words, there is no possibility of temporary change, Nanjing, I must go." Having said this, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped talking, and just looked at Xu Huanshan with a suspicious face. After a while, Lu Yuan lowered his voice and asked, "Old Xu, have you encountered any difficulties?" Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked me such a childish question. ”

Xu Huanshan didn't care about the joke in Lu Yuan's words, but nodded at Lu Yuan with a sad face, "We originally prepared a few fixed contact points for you to choose, but I didn't expect that Japanese spies have been rampant in the concession in the past few days, and the contact points we prepared have not only been destroyed, but also many of our comrades have disappeared or been arrested." Xu Huanshan's words made Lu Yuan a little unable to react for a while, the war in Shanghai has not yet ended, and the Japanese have already dared to run rampant in the concession?

Xu saw what Lu Yuan was thinking, and after Xu Huanshan sighed, he slowly explained to Lu Yuan, "You know the three tycoons of the Shanghai Youth Gang, right? Among Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin, Du Yuesheng will not help the Japanese, and Huang Jinrong is the inspector of the French Concession, only this Zhang Xiaolin took refuge with the Japanese early. We suspect that the Japanese were making trouble in the concession this time because they had the help of Zhang Xiaolin behind the scenes, otherwise the Japanese would not have dared to carry out such large-scale activities in the concession. ”

For the three tycoons of the Green Gang, Lu Yuan naturally knew, and after listening to Xu Huanshan's explanation, Lu Yuan nodded. "So what are you going to do? Is it preparing to take revenge on the Japanese or is it preparing to save people? As long as you have the relevant information in your hands, maybe I can do you a little favor, and it won't be difficult to kill Zhang Xiaolin. In Lu Yuan's cognition, he doesn't care what Zhang Xiaolin is one of the three tycoons of the Green Gang, if the Shanghai underground party really asks for his help, then Zhang Xiaolin will definitely become a dead man.

Xu Huanshan shook his head lightly and replied with a bitter face, "No, the current situation in Shanghai is too chaotic, although we are besieged by the Japanese secret services, but this is also the best time for us to plant nails in Shanghai, and our superiors do not allow us to act excessively, so as not to cause further deterioration of the situation." Xu Huanshan's heart actually disagreed with the decision of his superiors, and when he thought of those missing or arrested companions, Xu Huanshan's head was like a fryer.

Lu Yuan also shook his head again and again, "Lao Xu, it's not that I said bad things about your underground party, you can't do this." Japan is just an island country, and the total population is only a few people, and the Japanese army is indeed much stronger than the national army, and I am afraid that your Eighth Route Army cannot be compared. Since we can't match that, then we have more people than Japan, at least than the others. Don't forget, if the Japanese die for one, there will be one less, and since you already know that the Japanese spies have entered the concession, you should take the initiative. ”

"Japan has been preparing for a long time in order to invade China, and the spies they sent to Shanghai must have been cultivated for a long time. For such targets, you should get rid of them as soon as possible, lest they pose a greater threat to you after they gain a foothold in Shanghai. Shanghai is a metropolis and an important stronghold of Western forces in China, and they will never allow the war in Shanghai to affect the concession, so your private confrontation with Japanese spies should not provoke Western opposition. ”

Lu Yuan's words hit Xu Huanshan's heart like a heavy hammer, but after a few breaths, Xu Huanshan still shook his head and replied to Lu Yuan, "No, if I lead someone to rashly launch a surprise attack on the Japanese spies in the concession, it will be a violation of discipline, and I will be sent back to the Soviet area." I can't leave Shanghai yet, and those missing comrades are still missing, not to mention that I am still the only liaison between the Shanghai underground party and you. ”

Seeing that Xu Huanshan's expression was hesitant and struggling at the moment, Lu Yuan immediately changed the topic in a timely manner and no longer mentioned this topic that made Xu Huanshan's heart tormented. "Lao Xu, since you can't provide me with a fixed contact method now, can I ask for a contact method in the northern region, such as Shijiazhuang or Baoding. Maybe when I return from Germany, I will go north to take a look, I don't have the ability to fight the Japanese head-on, but I can still attack their control areas and supply lines. ”

Xu Huanshan was amused by Lu Yuan's whimsy, and then retorted, "I said that whatever you kid thinks, it's a play, you think it's fun behind enemy lines." Let me tell you, the Japanese army attaches great importance to North China, and all the troops deployed by the Nationalist Army in North China have been broken by the Japanese army. Most of the Nationalist troops who did not have time to retreat also defected to the Japanese, and according to what we have learned, the total strength of the Japanese army in North China has exceeded 400,000. ”

Lu Yuan naturally knew that Xu Huanshan said this, just to make it difficult for him to retreat, but now he couldn't tell Xu Huanshan about his plan, so he had to chuckle and laugh at the other party. "Lao Xu, I said that you guys who do underground work like to be careful, not to mention that the Japanese have 400,000 troops in North China, even if they have 4 million, I am also going to go. The aim of the Japanese was to occupy all of China, so they would certainly build North China into a solid rear, just as they had done in the Northeast before. ”

"I still say that China is too big for the Japanese to fully occupy, and the same is true for North China. It would be unwise to confront them head-on, but it was still possible to organize small groups of troops to strike at the Japanese forces in North China in a competitive manner. Remember the saying that a spark can start a prairie fire? If such small units were everywhere in North China, would you say that there would still be room for the Japanese army to live? ”

"Even if we take a step back, even if this matter cannot be successful, at least we can use the Japanese army in North China to train our troops. It is impossible for the Japanese army to be so rampant all the time, and the Chinese army cannot be so weak all the time, and I believe that there will always be a day when there will be a counteroffensive. Lao Xu, at least in North China, it is better to train a group of soldiers by fighting and training first, than to temporarily cram. While Lu Yuan spoke, he also squeezed his eyes at Xu Huanshan.

The confused Xu Huanshan actually did not know the deep meaning of Lu Yuanchong's squeezing of his eyes, and he had no way of knowing that since the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on North China, the top level of the Chinese Communists had been discussing the possibility of sending troops into North China to open up rear base areas to conduct guerrilla warfare. At this time, Lu Yuan proposed to Xu Huanshan to carry out guerrilla warfare in North China, and at first he was oblivious to it, and then he was simply talking nonsense, but he clearly remembered that it was at the end of 37 that the top level of the CPC decided to open up the North China base area.

After chatting with Xu Huanshan in the coffee shop all morning, after lunch, Lu Yuan finally received a call from Xu Huanshan, saying that he had passed on Lu Yuan's meaning to his superiors, and his superiors had also replied, agreeing to inform Lu Yuan of a fixed contact point in Shijiazhuang. "In fact, you will not return to China until the middle of next year, and it is a little early to ask for the address and contact information, the world is unpredictable, and none of us knows how far the situation will develop at that time." Xu Huanshan's voice was a little fluctuating on the phone, but Lu Yuan understood that this was a hint and reminder from Xu Huanshan to himself.

Lu Yuan actually did not know that there were differences and controversies within the Shanghai underground party on whether or not to keep a fixed contact point and a special line to wait for Lu Yuan. Xu Huanshan and others, who had cooperated with Lu Yuan and benefited a lot, naturally wanted to continue to maintain contact with Lu Yuan, but among the top echelons of the underground party, some people were worried that they would be in danger of lurking in the Shanghai Concession, after all, Lu Yuan's political leanings were not clear, and this person had a lot of contacts with the Germans.

The worries of the top brass of the underground party were not unreasonable, so when discussing this matter, there were arguments and even serious disagreements, and finally they had to hand over this issue to the special branch headquarters, and only then did they finally make a decision. From Xu Huanshan's words, Lu Yuan had already guessed some suspicions, and Lu Yuan understood the caution of the Shanghai underground party, and if it were himself, he might not easily trust a person who had close contact with foreigners.

But Lu Yuan had no way to sever the connection with the underground party, he went to Germany for his own purpose, and after returning from Germany, no matter whether he went north or south, he needed a lot of intelligence as support, otherwise he would be a blind man with black eyes. "Old Xu, thank you, tell your superiors that I, Lu Yuan, am a Chinese and will never turn my back on my country and nation." After thanking Xu Huanshan on the phone, Lu Yuan, who hung up the phone, was silent for a long time, and he suddenly felt very confused about his future.

"Maybe I should have rushed to Nanjing earlier, the days of having nothing to do are really difficult." Lu Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally returned to normal, and after talking to himself for a while, Lu Yuan went down to the basement and concentrated on making drawings, which were the golden keys for him to knock on the doors of many German military enterprises. Among the many weapons and equipment he knew, Lu Yuan's gifts for the Germans included the famous Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher, MG42 machine gun and Bayibar rifle. In addition to these weapon drawings, Lu Yuan also prepared a military production integration plan for the war maniac Hitler, and the decline of Germany in World War II in history was not all because of the German army's two-front operation.

Lu Yuan has always believed that the rapid consumption of German resources during the war and the inability to meet the needs of the army was the main reason for Germany's final decline, and if the German army could effectively integrate the industrial systems of European countries to serve the German army after conquering most of Europe at that time, then the course of World War II was likely to change. Hitler was a proud man and ambitious at the same time, and Lu Yuan knew that his integration plan would definitely win Hitler's approval. And Lu Yuan also hopes that World War II can finally drag down the United States because of Germany's strength, which is simply worth it for Lu Yuan's efforts at the moment.
