"Berlin said that this check is for Mr. Lu, and that you should hand it over to him personally." The consulate came to explain like this, but Colonel Moss was still confused, the number on this check was not small, if it was according to Colonel Moss's current military salary standard, I am afraid that he might not get so much money even if he worked for a hundred years. But in any case, this was also an order from Berlin, and Colonel Moss transferred the check to Lu Yuan according to Berlin's order.

The moment he handed out the check, Colonel Moss's eyes fell on Lu Yuan's face, trying to see the change in his expected expression from Lu Yuan's face. Colonel Moss was paying attention to Lu Yuan's reaction, and in fact, Lu Yuan was also observing Colonel Moss, but Lu Yuan did not pay attention to the amount on the check.

"Colonel, thank you for sending this check, with this money, maybe I can get other weapons and equipment data for the Empire. You should know that there are a lot of military technicians in the United States who are not living very well, and I know that among them, some people already have good design ideas or drawings, but they don't have enough research funds, so their designs can only be shelved. Lu Yuan looked at Colonel Moss, but his mouth kept saying that he continued to throw bait at the other party.

"Lu, you're saying that you can still get the design drawings and data of new weapons?" Lu Yuan's words really aroused the interest of Colonel Moss, and he was able to become the Führer's envoy and be sent to Shanghai to meet with Lu Yuan, which shows that Colonel Moss is not as simple as an SS colonel. Besides, Colonel Moss knew what Lu Yuan had done in Berlin, and when he heard Lu Yuan say that he could still get the design drawings of new weapons, his blood boiled all over his body.

"Of course, Colonel Moss, what I say will count. It's just that I want to remind you in advance that this matter is by no means as simple as doing ordinary business, first of all, I need the empire to give me a guarantee, the empire must first guarantee my safety, and if my plan fails, the empire must guarantee that it will not settle accounts with me. The second is capital, the environment and system of the United States are more relaxed than those of the empire, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it, but capital is essential, and without enough money, it is impossible to buy those military technicians and specialists. Lu Yuan replied to Colonel Moss with a smile.

As soon as Lu Yuan mentioned the funds, Colonel Moss's excitement immediately calmed down, he was just a small SS colonel, even if he was also Hitler's henchman, he didn't dare to promise that Lu Yuan would provide financial support, who knew how much money Lu Yuan needed. "Lu, if you have a problem with funds, I will contact Berlin immediately. Why don't you start by talking about your plan, and also, if the Empire promises to provide financial support, how much will it be? What does the empire gain in the end? Colonel Moss cleverly began to change the subject, causing Lu Yuan to roll his eyes in his heart.

"Mr. Colonel, I don't have a specific figure for the amount of funds yet. But what I know for sure is that one of the technologies that I am about to get my hands on will be about battlefield communication equipment, which is said to be able to easily contact all troops within a radius of 10 kilometers if any commander equipped with such communication equipment is successfully developed. If we can find a way to increase the power of the equipment, maybe the contact range will be increased to 15 km, 20 km or more. What Lu Yuan said was the walkie-talkie equipped by the US military units in World War II, but now it is still 1938, and walkie-talkies are still just an idea that exists on paper.

"Colonel Moss, you can imagine that once this kind of communication equipment can be popularized at the squad and platoon level, and communication on the battlefield does not rely on wired telephones, will the mode of war be turned upside down? I believe that this will be a new type of equipment that will cross the era, and you should know how well this equipment works, especially on the battlefield. Seeing that Colonel Moss was obviously out of state, Lu Yuan just chuckled and didn't take the initiative to interrupt Colonel Moss's contemplation.

The meeting with Lu Yuan was originally just an ordinary matter for Colonel Moss, but after listening to Lu Yuan's words just now, Colonel Moss suddenly had the idea of wanting to tie Lu Yuan back to Berlin. Since Lu Yuan personally said to himself that he had some helpers in the United States, if Lu Yuan and his helpers could be used by the Empire, Colonel Moss would be willing to risk the Führer's blame and get Lu Yuan back to Berlin, because this young man was so useful.

As if he had already guessed Moss's thoughts, when Moss raised his eyes to look at Lu Yuan but had not yet spoken, Lu Yuan preemptively spoke. "Colonel Moss, I am sorry that I cannot leave my country right now. I believe you have also seen and heard after coming to Shanghai, the Japanese are currently invading my motherland, and as a Chinese, I cannot leave China at this time. All you have to tell me now is that you are interested in what I have just proposed. Would you like to escalate the matter to the Führer? ”

Lu Yuan's last sentence instantly woke up Colonel Moss, that's right, the last person to make the decision can only be the Führer, so he doesn't have to worry about being the envoy. Colonel Moss immediately took his leave, and immediately after returning sent a telegram to Berlin, and he even sent everything Lu Yuan told him, word for word, to report to Hitler. For the next two days, Colonel Moss disappeared as if he had disappeared suddenly, neither Lu Yuan nor Hansen knew where Colonel Moss had gone.

It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that the dusty Colonel Moss reappeared in Lu Yuan's study, but Moss didn't come alone, he also brought an entourage named Eddard with him. "Lu, what you told me, I have reported to the Führer. The Führer's instructions to do everything possible to meet your demands are the greatest help I can receive from the German consul, and this is the sincerity and attitude of the Reich towards you. Colonel Moss took the suitcase from Ed's hand, placed it on the table and opened it, and the box was full of gold bars.

Lu Yuan just glanced at the gold bars, and then shook his head lightly at Colonel Moss, "Colonel, you are mistaken, I never said that I was short of money. Actually, I'm not short of money, all I want is an opportunity to work with the Empire, like arms. Lu Yuan's reaction made Colonel Moss's eyes shrink, and he said in his heart You want arms, you said earlier, Germany lacks everything, but there is no shortage of arms, especially after the SS plans to replace the new rifles, the replacement Mauser rifles will soon be piled up in major warehouses.

"Colonel, I will not disappoint the Empire, but I still need you to report my intentions to the Führer, for I need more than a few hundred rifles. The new technology of weapons and equipment is only one aspect, and I will pay the empire part of the money as compensation, I just hope to get a reasonable price for arms and an exclusive agent of German weapons in Asia. Lu Yuan is right, this matter is indeed important, but Colonel Moss, who is the special envoy of the Führer, can only report to Hitler for decision.

Hitler's recovery came quickly, but some restrictions were also made in the callback, but when Moss proposed these restrictions to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan behaved very generously. "Mr. Colonel, please tell your Excellency the Führer not to worry at all, all I want is infantry weapons such as rifles and light and heavy machine guns, and then light mortars, guns with a caliber of more than 75 mm, and I don't want any of them. Then there are bullets and explosives, especially explosives, and I hope there are as many as possible. Lu Yuan's reaction was a little uncomfortable for Colonel Moss, but he also knew that this was not the time to make friends and talk.

Knowing that Lu Yuan only wanted rifles and light and heavy machine guns, in addition to a large amount of ammunition and explosives, Berlin quickly made a decision to reject Lu Yuan's request for the general agent in Asia, but basically agreed to Lu Yuan's request to get the goods first and pay later. "Lu, I have good news for you, in order to show the sincerity of the Empire, a large ocean-going freighter laden with arms has departed from Germany, and is expected to arrive in Shanghai in 20 days. Berlin has agreed to your request for a delay in payment, but it needs to see your sincerity before the ships reach Shanghai. ”

"That's for sure, Mr. Colonel, please rest assured that there will be good news for you in the next few days." Lu Yuan, who was satisfied, seemed very happy, and after Lyumos and his entourage had lunch, Lu Yuan personally sent the two away. "Hogg, haven't you always said that business in Tianjin is not good? I've got you a big deal this time, but I might need you to take a trip to Chongqing, I don't know if you're happy or not? After sending Moss away, Lu Yuan called Hogg and Schuchmann into the study.

Hogg was obviously confused by Lu Yuan's question, and Lu Yuan had no choice but to tell the two of them, "I have reached an agreement with the Reich government, the Germans will provide me with a large number of Mauser rifles, light and heavy machine guns, ammunition and explosives, the exact amount is not known, but according to my estimate, as long as we can sell them, Hitler is likely to hand over all the Mauser rifles they replaced to us." ”

Lu Yuan's words made Hogg almost cheer on the spot, but he still followed the recording back to Berlin, and he also knew that Lu Yuan provided Hitler with the design drawings of the new automatic rifle. The word replacement that Lu Yuan just said, the bureau has already reminded Hogg of the design drawings of the new automatic rifle, and without careful calculation, Hogg knows how big the big business Lu Yuan is talking about, it may be the Mauser rifle replaced by the entire German army.
