Chapter 56 The Führer's Special Envoy
In Lu Yuan's opinion, Shanghai seems to be the same as before, no different from when he left, but in Fu Bo's opinion, Lu Yuan has lost a lot of weight. Lu Yuan didn't expect that Fu Bo, who he hadn't seen for a long time, would come to the dock to pick him up, and in addition to being excited, Lu Yuan gave Fu Bo a powerful bear hug. "Fauber, how did you know I was back today? And do you know that I am going back to Shanghai by water? As he spoke, Lu Yuan turned around and glared at Hogg as if he understood.
"Let's go, let's go home first, I can't wait to eat Aunt Fu's dumplings." Hogg, who was glared at by Lu Yuan fiercely, was silent, but Shu Heman couldn't look at it, so he made a timely statement, and fell in love with Fauber at home to respond a few words from the side, and Lu Yuan could be regarded as letting go of Hogg who was making up his own ideas for the time being. Because he carried too much luggage, Lu Yuan had no choice but to hire another carriage on the dock, and finally returned to his residence in Shanghai slowly.
"Brother, this house is so big, this is where we live?" Wang Hu is no longer the wild boy in Wang Village, when he was in Tianjin, he was not less taken around by Hogg and Schuchmann, and he has seen a lot of bungalows, but he has never seen such a large bungalow, and there is such a big garden. As for the families of Hogg and Schuchmann, they were directly ignored by Wang Hu, and he did not see foreigners when he was in Tianjin.
Regarding Wang Hu's matter, Lu Yuan just told Fu Bo about it, although Fu Bo did not express his position on the spot, but Lu Yuan could see that Fu Bo did not seem to reject the matter of accepting Wang Hu as his adopted son. Returning to a familiar place and eating the dumplings made by Aunt Fu again, Lu Yuan felt very satisfied, and sincerely looked forward to this kind of day never passing. But the world is impermanent, there are always some things that make Lu Yuan have to wake up from this reverie, and before the dumplings are finished, Hans's phone call.
"Lu, when you return to Shanghai, why don't you contact me first? You must know that the special envoy of the head of state has been waiting for you to return to Shanghai, and I tell you that this is not a trivial matter, and I hope you will pay attention to it, and do not disappoint the special envoy of the head of state. What Hans said on the phone was covered with clouds and mountains, which made Lu Yuan a little confused, what do you mean by not disappointing the Führer's envoy? Could it be that if Hitler wanted to help him kill Stalin, he would have to run to Moscow as soon as he could?
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan, who returned to the dining table, looked as usual, allowing Hogg and Schuhman to scan him incessantly, but Lu Yuan only cared about grabbing dumplings with Wang Hu, and the slightest strangeness on his face was not revealed. "Hans said that I should be careful not to disappoint the Führer's envoy. I don't know what he means, but this is Shanghai, and I don't believe what the Führer's envoy can do to me. After dinner, back in the study, Lu Yuan repeated what Hans had just said on the phone, and Hogg and Schuchmann immediately fell into deep thought.
Raising his eyes and glancing at Hogg and Schuchmann, Lu Yuan, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, immediately smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, there is an old saying in China, it is called soldiers come to block water and come to Tutun." We don't care what the Führer's special envoy has in mind, we will know everything when we see it, and we can't make a fool of ourselves here. I still say what I said just now, this is Shanghai, and I can kill the two section chiefs of the Japanese army's special high school in Shanghai, and I can also kill this special envoy of the Führer. ”
Having said that, and Lu Yuan did have such confidence, but after all, that was the last resort, and before he figured out the intention of the special envoy of the head of state, Lu Yuan finally decided to meet with the other party. The agreed meeting place was Hans's Rose Bar, and Lu Yuan still rushed to Hans's bar in advance as usual, but unexpectedly, the Führer's envoy actually arrived at Hans's bar earlier than himself.
"Lu, thank God, we're all alive." Hans, who was still busy behind the bar, saw Lu Yuan push the door in, so he put down the work in his hand, gave Lu Yuan a hug first, and whispered in Lu Yuan's ear. "Be careful, this special envoy of the head of state is not very easy to talk to, he has come to me several times, and I have not figured out what the real purpose of his visit to Shanghai is." Hans was able to take the initiative to remind Lu Yuan, which showed that he still regarded Lu Yuan as a friend, and Lu Yuan was also grateful for Hans's reminder.
Reaching out and patting Hans on the back a few times, Lu Yuan followed Hans's gaze and looked at the corner of the bar, the bar usually has no business during the day, but at the moment in the corner of the bar, there are a few blond-haired guys sitting around. Lu Yuan looked at the blonde-haired guys with interest, and secretly wondered in his heart, this is the so-called excellent Aryan race, I heard that the purest Aryan people have blonde hair.
Lu Yuan secretly joked in his heart for a while, and then under the personal guidance of Hans, he walked over to the Aryans. "Colonel Moss, this is Lu, who has just returned from Tianjin." Hans introduced Lu Yuan to the other party, and several eyes with different meanings suddenly fell on Lu Yuan's face. As if surprised by Lu Yuan's youth, the Colonel Moss spoke for a long time, but only looked at Lu Yuan with a scrutinizing gaze, and the latter also looked at each other without blinking.
A short time later, just as Hans was trying to speak and play a round, Lu Yuan laughed at the same time as Colonel Namos. "Lu, I heard Bowman talk about you, I have always heard him say that you are very young, and after I really met you, I believe that what Bowman said is not wrong, you are indeed very young, and I am very jealous of my youth." Colonel Moss stood up and stretched out his right hand to Lu Yuan, who grinned and stretched out his right hand to shake it together.
"Bowman is my friend, and since you are friends with him, you are also my friend." Lu Yuan sat down beside Moss, and gestured to Hansen very vaguely, and Hans, who was finally able to put his mind at ease, left under the pretext of leaving. "When I was in Tientsin, I suddenly received a telegram from Mr. Hans, saying that the Führer had sent an envoy to Shanghai and wanted to see me by name. I thought it was a joke played by Mr. Hans with me, but I didn't expect it to be true, I just didn't understand what His Excellency the Führer had sent an envoy to me for. ”
Colonel Moss and his gang may not often wear civilian clothes, but even in a casual place like a bar, they still maintain a military posture, not only with a straight back, but also without moving the beer in front of them. These details have not escaped Lu Yuan's observation, these guys know at a glance that they are all soldiers, how could the thoughtful Lu Yuan let go of such a good opportunity to probe him, so he said what he said just now.
The character of a soldier is that he likes to go straight, even if Moss is a German soldier. "Lu, when I came to Shanghai this time, I ostensibly said that I would escort the new consul in China to Shanghai, but in fact, I handed you a gift in accordance with the order of the Führer. Another thing, I also brought a disc of film this time, and I hope that after reading it, you can give valuable comments and ways to improve it. ”
Hitler's gift to Lu Yuan was actually very simple, it was a carved Luger pistol with Hitler's autograph, Lu Yuan only glanced at it, and fell in love with this very collectible Luger pistol. As for the film mentioned by Colonel Moss, it is actually just a documentary of the experimental operation of the new equipment of the German army, including the anti-tank individual rocket launcher and automatic rifle that were determined by German military experts after several modifications.
During Lu Yuan's stay in Germany, he provided the German government with several weapon design drawings and some data, among which the shooting drawings of the bazooka were almost copying the design principle of the American Bachuka bazooka, but after being modified by German military experts, Lu Yuan vaguely saw a little bit of the meaning of the RPG portable individual rocket launcher in the later generations in this documentary. As for the automatic rifle provided by Lu Yuan, it has also directly crossed the shape of the MP44 automatic rifle, and developed towards the AK gun family that Lu Yuan was looking forward to.
"Lu, the design concepts and drawings of these weapons were all provided to the empire by you, and the Führer hopes that after watching this documentary, you will be able to put forward opinions and improvement plans." Colonel Moss lowered his voice and whispered in Lu Yuan's ear. "The Führer said that the empire will never be stingy with its friends, and I have brought a batch of arms with me this time, including 30,000 M2 heavy machine gun bullets and some medicines from the United States, and I believe that you will definitely need this batch of things."
Colonel Moss's words reminded Lu Yuan, and then he took the pen and paper, and in front of Colonel Moss, he quickly filled a piece of paper. "Colonel Moss, this is a letter to the Führer, and perhaps a suggestion, that you will send it back to Berlin by radio to-night. I'm going to watch this film a few more times, and tomorrow morning, you'll get my comments and ways to improve it. Lu Yuan handed the folded letter to Colonel Moss, and then motioned to the person who showed the film to re-screen it, which was very unpleasant to watch just now.
Lu Yuan watched the documentary repeatedly in the secret warehouse provided by Hans, and his letter to Hitler had been sent back to Berlin by Colonel Moss through the first station. When Lu Yuan watched the film for the fourth time, Hitler, who was far away in Berlin, also got a long telegram after translation. When the day was bright, Lu Yuan began to comment on the new weapons in the documentary, and wrote several pieces of paper just for opinions and improvement methods, and Colonel Moss finally received a telegram from Berlin, but he didn't understand why the people in the consulate suddenly sent a large check, and said that it was a special order from Berlin.
