Chapter 150: The Way Home

Hogg had been secretly looking at Schuchmann all morning, for Hogg had never seemed to have seen Schuchmann so restless since the day he had known him. The reason why Schuchmann was so agitated was because he learned that the cruise ship would make a debut to Japan to deliver a batch of supplies to the German consulate in Japan, and Schuhmann was worried about this, he was afraid that Lu Yuan would do the thing of setting fires everywhere in Tokyo again.

Since he heard the news, Schuchmann has been a little distracted, and his irritability has been noticed by Hogg, and Lu Yuan can't see it. "Schuchmann, are you hiding something from us? If you need help, please let us know, we don't want you to be burdened by this. Lu Yuan's words attracted Hogg's nod of approval, but Shuchmann couldn't help rolling his eyes at Lu Yuan in his heart, and said in his heart What you said seems to be what happened to me.

In front of Hogg, Schuchman had no way to tell the truth, so he could only deal with it with humming, but after Hogg went to the restaurant, Schuchman took the initiative to come to Lu Yuan's side. "Boss, I heard that this cruise ship is carrying a batch of supplies to be sent to the German consulate in Japan, which means that this cruise ship is likely to dock in Tokyo Bay." Shu Heman tried his best to make his voice sound normal, but he actually kept paying attention to Lu Yuan's expression changes and reactions.

Sure enough, after Lu Yuan learned that the cruise ship would temporarily dock in mainland Japan, an inexplicable wisp suddenly rose in his eyes. Shu Heman, who had been staring at Lu Yuan, couldn't help but groan in his heart, he couldn't hide from what he should have come, it seemed that his boss was still ready to do something in Japan. "Boss, I feel that war is a soldier's business, and it shouldn't involve civilians, after all, those civilians are innocent." There were also some unrelenting Schuchmann who tried to persuade Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked at no one on the left and right, and then turned his face to look at Shu Heman with an apologetic face, "Shu Heman, have you forgotten what happened in Nanjing?" Those refugees who fled from Suzhou and Wuhu to Nanjing, I don't believe you haven't seen it? I don't believe you haven't heard them cry? I don't believe you don't know what the Japanese army did in those places? Schuchmann, they are also just civilians. ”

Lu Yuan's words silenced Schuchman, who had experienced the Battle of Nanjing with Lu Yuan, how could he not know that China and Japan had formed a mortal enmity, and this mortal enmity was not only a war, but also a variety of heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army in China. Lu Yuan's rhetorical question left Schuhmann speechless, but he still refused to give up the opportunity to persuade Lu Yuan, because he firmly believed that the use of war methods against civilians was against peace.

"No, Schuchman, you don't understand." After Shuchman clearly said the four words "Contrary to the sky" in Chinese, Lu Yuan smiled even more freely, but Shuchman clearly saw the water vapor in Lu Yuan's eyes. "When I was in Nanjing, I said that as long as I could drive all the invaders out of China, I would rather fall into hell than be reborn. Shuchman, do you know how I feel when I see innocent civilians lose their families and be displaced? ”

Lu Yuan, who was standing on the side of the boat, suddenly reached out and grabbed Shu Heman's shirt, pulling it very hard, and hissed even more in his mouth, "That feeling is like a knife, stabbing it hard from my chest and stabbing it all the way into my heart." Schuchman, I'm not a soldier, but I'm a Chinese. For the sake of this country and the innocent civilians of this country, I would rather bear the infamy, as long as I can drive all the Japanese soldiers out of China, what can this infamy be. ”

"But, boss, is it really worth it for you to do this?" Shu Heman, who was stretched out by Lu Yuan and pulled the placket of his clothes, sighed silently, "You are a good boss, a good weapons engineer, and the best soldier I have ever seen." The fate of a soldier is the battlefield, even if it is the battlefield where they die in the end, I just don't agree with your use of the means of war against civilians, and I think you shouldn't waste too much energy on those civilians. ”

Schuchman tried to convince Lu Yuan in his own way, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuan's attitude would be so resolute. "Shuchman, you are wrong, from the first day the Japanese soldiers set foot in China, from the moment they raised their butcher knives to kill the first Chinese, their end of anger and revenge was already doomed. Don't tell me that Japanese civilians are innocent, since they have enjoyed the benefits of war dividends on Japanese soil, they should bear the corresponding responsibilities and consequences. ”

"Schuchman, the civilians of China are people, and the civilians of Japan are also people. Since the Japanese soldiers were able to massacre Chinese civilians in China with impunity, I, a man who acted for heaven, could carry out retaliatory actions on Japanese soil. As for the Japanese civilians you mentioned, then you can only resent their Amaterasu Okami, who made them my target, in my eyes, all Japanese are not innocent. ”

Lu Yuan's attitude was so resolute that Schuhman was at a loss, but fortunately, the cruise ship had just crossed the Red Sea Strait into the Indian Ocean, and Schuchman, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to go to Hogg to find a way to continue to persuade Lu Yuan to change his mind. "Hogg, you'd better get along quickly, once the cruise ship docks in Japan, the boss will definitely set a fire in Japan like last time, and those civilians are innocent." Schuchmann's expression was serious, but his heart was extremely anxious.

Schuchmann was very anxious, but Hogg was not like this, and Hogg was very relaxed about Schuchman's request. "Schuchmann, I think you're looking for the wrong person, because like my boss, I don't have a good impression of the Japanese." Seeing that Schuchmann wanted to speak, Hogg preemptively said when he saw this. "Have you forgotten how we were made fun of by the Japanese when we first arrived in Shanghai? Do you know how those Japanese people scolded our children? Damn Jewish bitch. ”

Unconsciously, Hogg's face became hideous, but there was a hint of relief in his words. "Schuchman, our boss is a good man, when I was in Nanjing, I knew that he was a good man and a good boss. Do you know why when I was in Berlin, I kept asking him about making money? Because I knew that the boss was a good person who would push him like this, and if I hadn't pushed him, he might have continued to wait in Berlin for Hitler's support and trust. ”

Hogg's words made Schuchmann jerk his head up, he had never imagined that his friend would be such a thoughtful person. Schuchmann's reaction made Hogg finally grin, "I already guessed what the boss was going to Germany for when our boss handed Luca the first weapon drawing, and when the boss made those guns in Barracks 3, I was even more sure of his idea." It's just that these efforts of the boss did not pay off as much as he deserved, so I forced him to leave Berlin as soon as possible, because you and I both know that Hitler was once a moody man. ”

Schauchmann thought carefully about Hogg's performance in Berlin, and then thought of the conversation between Hofmann and his boss, and he finally understood Hogg's intentions. "The boss has proven his ability to Hitler, but he has not received Hitler's support and trust for a long time, I think this is not because Hitler did not plan to use the boss, but because he has not yet figured out how to arrange the boss. The boss was destined not to stay in Germany, and once Hitler insisted on keeping the boss, there would definitely be big trouble between them because of disagreements, so it was best to leave Germany early. ”

Schuchmann's self-talk made Hogg nod uncontrollably, "You understand it now, so you'd better not interfere with your boss's decision, because he knows what he's doing." Why did the boss make so many weapon accessories in Barracks 3, and asked Hoffman for so much ammunition and equipment, you use your brain to think about it. In a situation like Nanjing, the boss dares to participate without asking, do you think that with our words, the boss can change the decision? ”

After talking to Hogg, Scheuchman was very shocked, why Hogg, who has always been inconspicuous, sees the problem so thoroughly, but he, who has been with Lu Yuan all day, can't see the essence of the matter. The devastated Schuchmann decided to eat one less dinner as a punishment, and also took the opportunity to calm himself down and reflect on his actions and ways of thinking. Lu Yuan didn't know what was going on between Schuchmann and Hogg, and even if he knew the conversation between the two, Lu Yuan might not interfere.

The cruise ship sailed in the Indian Ocean according to the established route, and while filling supplies in Singapore, Lu Yuan went ashore and went around, and without the knowledge of Schuchmann and Hogg, Lu Yuan bought some of the materials and equipment he needed from a Chinese store in Singapore. After the cruise ship entered the South China Sea, Lu Yuan's behavior became more and more strange, and he either held a pen and paper to calculate anything all day, or locked himself alone in the cabin, and Schuchmann and Hogg didn't know what Lu Yuan was doing.

As time passed, the cruise ship officially entered the East China Sea after a short pause in Hong Kong, but Schuchmann's mood became more and more depressed and uneasy. After the cruise ship crossed the Ryukyu Islands, Lu Yuan finally ended his strange behavior of locking himself in the cabin, either playing poker with Schuchmann and killing time all day, or standing on the side of the ship with a cigarette in his mouth and looking at the sea alone in a daze.

Schuhman guessed that Lu Yuan was going to carry out sabotage on the Japanese mainland, but he definitely didn't guess that when Lu Yuan locked himself in the cabin these days, he had already used the explosives and materials in the storage space to make a large number of timed ignition devices. Lu Yuan only needs to equip these timed ignition devices with oil and a certain proportion of chemical raw materials in Japan, and these timed ignition devices will become extremely powerful timed incendiary bombs.
