Chapter 61: Departure
Lobbying Hans to contact the Shanghai Underground Party privately, Lu Yuan really didn't want to see Hans take his life for Hitler, and on the other hand, he was also looking for a strong ally for the Shanghai Underground Party, at least the Shanghai Underground Party could obtain a lot of confidential information through Hansen. When they saw Xu Huanshan again, the other party was no longer dressed as the rickshaw driver, and the meeting place between the two had also been transferred from the coffee shop to Hans's bar.
"Lao Xu, the one in the white shirt over there is Hans, the German owner of this bar, and also the head of the German intelligence department in Shanghai. I had spoken to him privately before you came, and Hans promised to be cautious about approaching your underground. Do you know what it means to be cautious in reach? Just be careful, if German intelligence knows that Hansen is in private contact with you, he and his family in Germany will be in danger, you know what I mean? ”
Xu Huanshan looked at Lu Yuan's line of sight, and happened to see Hans busy in the bar, "How can you guarantee that this German will not betray us to the special high school?" Germany was an ally of Japan, and several of our shipments were detained by the German captain on the notice of the Japanese, and to be honest, I could not trust the German. Xu Huanshan's reaction did not surprise Lu Yuan, and after the news of Germany's alliance with Japan broke, the Germans in the Shanghai concession began to be unpopular with the Chinese.
However, Lu Yuan is obviously not the kind of fool who will only be angry with others, slowly stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon, Lu Yuan suddenly smiled at Xu Huanshan and said, "Old Xu, you are an intelligence officer, and it should be your instinct to be suspicious of all affairs, I can understand this." However, I can't give you the guarantee you want. And I'm just giving you an introduction, as for whether you choose to cooperate and to what extent, that's your own business, and I don't participate. ”
Lu Yuan's attitude was somewhat unexpected by Xu Huanshan, in fact, since the first time Lu Yuan suddenly helped Xu Huanshan on the street, the Shanghai underground party has been discovering Lu Yuan's true identity through various means and channels, because they absolutely do not believe that Lu Yuan is just an ordinary person. However, with the passage of time and frequent contact with Lu Yuan, the Shanghai underground party still has no clue about Lu Yuan's true identity, so that Lu Yuan has become more mysterious in the eyes of the Shanghai underground party.
Lu Yuan's big fights against the Japanese intelligence agencies in Shanghai and Tianjin are all in the sight of the underground party organization, if it was another person who did these things, the underground party would not be so vigilant, but the person who did these things deceived and urinated Lu Yuan with a mysterious origin, which made the Shanghai underground party have to be more cautious, because Lu Yuan's side has been practicing the Germans, and Germany has formed an alliance with Japan.
Lu Yuan claims to be an overseas Chinese, and he can speak both fluent English and Japanese, how can such a character be cultivated by an ordinary family. Moreover, Lu Yuan had always had a close relationship with the Germans, and there had been German officers who had been in and out of Lu Yuan's residence before, so in the previous meetings of the Shanghai underground party, it was not that no one raised doubts about this. Because of the above reasons, Xu Huanshan was very wary of Hansen, after all, the other party was the head of the German intelligence department in Shanghai.
Lu Yuan didn't think of these at first, but when he looked at Xu Huanshan's expression that was not quite right, the thoughtful Lu Yuan could be regarded as understanding. "Lao Xu, can you take a long-term view? The Japanese can definitely be defeated, but what about after defeating the Japanese? Do places that have been completely destroyed by war need to be rebuilt? Do countries that have been hostile to China need to be on guard? Does the remaining army need to be re-planned and trained? These are all major matters related to the whole country, and you should not just focus on the one-third of an acre of land in front of you. ”
"My ancestors often said that they should take precautions, and I feel that this sentence has a lot of artistic conception. What is called taking precautions is to make a decision before others wake up. I have never doubted that the CCP is a political party that fights the world for the toiling masses of the whole world, although the great enemy in front of you is the Japanese, do you also need to pay attention to what will happen after the defeat of the Japanese? China must not just defeat the Japanese and count everything as well, the current China is not the Manchu era, and it should make good use of this opportunity to seek an equal position in the world. ”
"Old Xu, we are Chinese, Hans is German, but this does not prevent you from cooperating with him, you must know that there is no eternal ally between countries, naturally there is no eternal hostility, there is only an entanglement of interests, I personally believe that this principle is also applicable to the present." According to what I have learned, Hitler was already planning for the war, and the Germans had been trying to restore Germany to its pre-World War I glory, but Hitler was much more ambitious, and he wanted not only all of Europe, but also Africa and South America. ”
"The German government has been sanctioning Jews for a long time, and Hogg and Schuchmann in my family were victims of anti-Semitism, and after leaving, many families like theirs have been displaced, because no country has dared to take in Jews openly. China is probably the only one of them that has issued thousands of visas to Jews in succession, including those of German descent in Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao, and Hong Kong. ”
"Lao Xu, you may want to say that these things have anything to do with the CCP, but I want to say that the relationship is too big, but you don't realize it at all. Among the Jews who fled Germany were teachers, craftsmen, factory technicians and engineers, workers in German military factories, and even soldiers and officers in the Wehrmacht. I don't know what you think of these German Jews, but as far as I can see, these Jews are a great asset, and with them, China can build its own basic industrial system at least 20 years ahead of schedule. ”
Lu Yuanyang said so much freely, Xu Huanshan had been listening to a book from heaven, and it was not until Lu Yuan said the basic industrial system that Xu Huanshan suddenly looked up at Lu Yuan, whose eyes were shining. "Lao Xu, you don't have to doubt what I said just now, I know that there should be people in Yan'an who understand the industrial system, you can report what I just said to Yan'an, and naturally someone will know whether what I said makes sense."
"Then how can you guarantee that the German Jews you are talking about will cooperate with us? Compared with other countries, China is completely innocent, and it is also facing the danger of national war. Xu Huanshan's concern is not unreasonable, and now China is said to have established an industrial system, and it is already very good to be able to drive the Japanese out. Xu Huanshan's words made Lu Yuan shake his head again, and it is not difficult to see from Xu Huanshan's question that in China, there should be a lot of people who think like him.
"Lao Xu, the alliance between Germany and Japan has long been a well-known thing, think about it, the Japanese nominally control the whole of Shanghai, but in fact they can't control the concession, do you think the Japanese are willing? As soon as Hitler started the war, the Japanese would act as allies against the concession, and the Jews living in the concession would be the best excuse. If you can lend a helping hand to the Jews at this time, do you think they should be grateful to you, and if you can provide them with a relatively safe place to settle down, do you think they will be even more grateful to you? ”
Lu Yuan finally reached out and patted Xu Huanshan's shoulder, and laughed softly, "Old Xu, as far as I know, your CCP is the best at human work, and I don't believe that after you know the value of these Jews, you will not have other ideas." War is a suffering, but it is also an opportunity, and the countries that can rise in the war are amazing, and I hope China is one of them. Lu Yuan's words gave Xu Huanshan a great shock, so much so that after he walked out of the bar, he was still thinking about Lu Yuan's words in his mind, and he planned to report Lu Yuan's words to Yan'an as soon as he went back.
Lu Yuan did not tell Hansen the content of his meeting with Xu Huanshan, and before leaving the bar, he just asked Hansen to sort out all the information of German Jews in Shanghai first, as long as Xu Huanshan had a definite answer, the cooperation between Hansen and the Shanghai underground party could be carried out one after another. Similar to what Lu Yuan expected, after receiving the long telegram sent by Xu Huanshan, Yan'an Cover couldn't help but feel very curious about the content of the telegram, because no one had ever put forward such an idea.
For six hours, Yan'an was in a meeting to discuss the matter, and Lu Yuan, who was far away in Shanghai, had been waiting for Xu Huanshan to call, and waited until the moontop treetops when the phone at Lu Yuan's residence finally rang. "My boss preliminarily agreed with your idea, but the specific details still need to be agreed upon by us in an interview, and the boss has decided to send a manager to participate in this meeting, hoping that you will be ready for the meeting." Xu Huanshan didn't say a sensitive word on the phone, but Lu Yuan already understood what he meant.
Lu Yuan met with Xu Huanshan again the next day, and this time in front of Xu Huanshan, Lu Yuan refused to participate in the talks. "I don't have time to stay in Shanghai, the ship has already arrived in Hong Kong, and I have to deal with this matter myself. Hans has already explained that as long as you are willing to cooperate with the German Jews, you can go directly to Hansen for an interview, and I am not the same at all. ”
Lu Yuan's refusal seemed to be a bit unexpected by Xu Huanshan, but no matter how he persuaded him, Lu Yuan just used the ship of arms as an excuse, and Xu Huanshan had to give up and no longer persuade Lu Yuan to stay in Shanghai. A day later, Lu Yuan left Shanghai alone, and by the time Xu Huanshan learned the news, Lu Yuan had already rushed to Suzhou, and according to the contact information provided by Xu Huanshan, he contacted the underground party organization in Chengli, Suzhou.
