The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 436 I'm Going To China

Wuhan.

Gao Jiu has been away for a month, and there is still no news. Although Lin Wenhan knew that this matter was too difficult, he arranged for Gao Jiu to go to Germany only with a glimmer of hope. Prepare for this task.

However, once people have hope for a certain matter, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, they will expect to finally achieve the result they want. A kind of torture.

This morning, Minister He of the Military Command called Lin Wenhan over to ask Gao Jiu about his trip to Germany.

He said anxiously: "Old Lin, since the start of the war, most of the equipment of the German weapon masters has been lost. The most important thing is that the ammunition is almost gone, and the existing German weapon equipment has lost its effect.

The national army can only replace with domestically produced equipment, and relying on a Wuhan arsenal simply cannot support the needs of the national army in the war of resistance.

You arranged for Gao Jiu to go to Germany, but I don't know the result?If he can really complete this task, I hope you let him try to get the production line of bullets and shells back from Germany, otherwise, the ammunition shipped back may not last long. "

Lin Wenhan secretly groaned in his heart. He sent his son-in-law to Germany just to contribute to the national army. It would be a shame to get back those weapons, and to add new tasks to Gao Jiu. It is simply unimaginable.

However, what Minister He said was true, so he had no choice but to say: "You are right, I will send a telegram to Gao Jiu after I go back. But Minister He, don't place too much hope on this matter. I will arrange for Gao Jiu When I went to Germany, I just had the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so it’s hard to say whether I can get those weapons back, and this matter can only be tried.”

Minister He nodded and said, "Old Lin, am I in a hurry? If Gao Jiu can really get those weapons back, it means that he has the ability. With some additional requirements, I believe he can do it too."

Lin Wenhan didn't say anything else, returned to his office, and called Lin Yanni.Of course, he would not tell Lin Yanni about such an important matter on the phone.He said, "Janni, come to my place, I have something to tell you."

Lin Yanni has never heard of Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu can't give Lin Yanni any accurate news until the matter comes to an end.

Lin Yanni came to the military headquarters, and Lin Wenhan said: "There is no news about Gao Jiu, I am afraid he has encountered great difficulties. You send him a telegram to ask about the progress of the matter. In addition, Minister He came to me just now. Said that he hoped to bring back the production line of bullets and shells from Germany. You also tell Gao Jiu about the situation and let him do his best."

Hearing this, Lin Yanni felt a little unhappy.Although she believed that Gao Jiu was omnipotent, she didn't want others to put new pressure on her sweetheart.She said: "Dad, what my ninth brother wants to do is already extremely difficult. It's best not to add new tasks to him."

Lin Wenhan said: "German weapon masters are the main force in the national army. If Gao Jiu can get back the batch of weapons and ammunition, the national army can indeed support it for a while. However, this is also a source of water, how long can it last? If we can get back the production line of bullets and shells, it will greatly improve the country's army's ability to sustain operations."

Lin Yanni said: "Dad, my daughter understands what you said, but you clearly know how difficult this matter is. If you add new tasks to my ninth brother, won't it make it even more difficult for him?"

Of course Lin Wenhan understood this in his heart, but he still had hope and asked, "What do you think of Gao Jiu's ability to handle affairs?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yanni was very proud, she said: "The things my ninth brother promised have never been impossible, but..."

Lin Yanni is not stupid, she knows what her father will say after asking this question.

"No but." Lin Wenhan interrupted her, and he said: "Since you believe that he has this ability, send him a telegram, tell him about this matter, and let him try to solve it together.

Yanni, this matter is generally said to be for the country and the nation, for the cause of the Anti-Japanese War.However, Gao Jiu can be said to be a family with us now, and whether he can complete this task will have a great impact on him. You don't want his reputation to be damaged, do you? "

Lin Yanni said helplessly: "Okay then, I'll send you a telegram to tell Brother Ninth what you mean in a while."

Lin Yanni returned to the Military Intelligence Department and sent Lin Wenhan's request to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu quickly returned the telegram. In the telegram, he did not complain about adding new tasks to him. The content of the telegram was very brief: "Do your best. Baby, I miss you."

Lin Yanni was very happy, took the telegram and put it on her lips, kissed it, and said, "Dear Ninth Brother, I miss you too, I love you."

Then she called Lin Wenhan. Lin Wenhan was very satisfied with Gao Jiu's attitude. He believed that Gao Jiu had a big picture, and this was the real standard of the son-in-law he wanted.

Berlin.

Gao Jiu was waiting for news from Gustav. Unexpectedly, Guderian brought good news to Gao Jiu first.

He called Gao Jiu and said, "Mr. Gao, the big man said he wants to meet you."

It turned out that the big man is a very successful person, and he likes grand and huge things in everything.

During World War II, he once instructed the German military industry to build the world's largest artillery, called the "Gustav Cannon". It weighed 1344 tons, including the transport vehicle. 4 feet wide and 20 feet long, the bore diameter is nearly 140 meter wide, and a shell weighs 1 pounds. The "Gustav Cannon" could hit targets 16540 miles away, making it a "super weapon" at the time.

For the same reason, the huge aura of the armored cluster also makes big shots like it.He personally visited an armored group offensive warfare exercise organized by Guderian, and he also gave full affirmation, which is why the German Wehrmacht was able to quickly form the First Panzer Army.Guderian, the commander of the Armored Army, was also personally appointed by the big shots.

The big man personally interviewed Guderian, asked Guderian about the use of armor clusters, and greatly appreciated his blitzkrieg ideas.Guderian is a man of duty, and he did not bury Gao Jiu's credit.He reported the formation of his blitzkrieg ideas, the things he got inspiration from Gao Jiu, and the blueprints of tanks and self-propelled artillery that Gao Jiu provided to the German Military Industry Department, one by one to the big shots.

For Gao Jiu, the big shot had a little impression, but he didn't pay attention to it.Now that Guderian mentioned Gao Jiu, it aroused the interest of big shots.He said at the time: "This young man from China, I want to meet him sometime."

Guderian got the good news, so he called and told Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu was very happy when he got the news. If he could leave a deep impression on the important person before talking about the serious business, things would be much easier to handle.Gao Jiu expressed his gratitude to Guderian, and he extended an invitation to Guderian, hoping to have a banquet with him, and Guderian readily agreed.

At the banquet, Gao Jiu asked Guderian to recommend some outstanding retired military officers for him, and he wanted to hire them to go to China to train troops for himself.

The Taohuashan guerrillas are now powerful, but they also have a weakness, that is, the training is not standardized enough.Although the individual skills are strong, the overall cooperation still has certain flaws.On the existing basis, supplemented by the rigorous training of the German infantry drill code, the overall combat effectiveness can be improved.

Hiring these German soldiers, apart from training the guerrillas in Taohuashan, Gao Jiu will have more important uses for them in the future.

Guderian was very happy because he happened to have this need.The Wehrmacht of the German Army was reorganized not long ago. Due to various reasons, many outstanding officers were eliminated.Many of them are excellent military talents that Guderian is very familiar with, and he feels sorry for them leaving the army.Gao Jiu can provide such an opportunity, and Guderian can just find a way out for them.

Next, Gao Jiu continued to wait patiently for the meeting with the German head of state.

In a small town on the outskirts of Berlin, Germany, there is an auto repair shop. A strong middle-aged man in his 30s is sitting in front of the repair department.He watched the cars passing here and there, hoping for business, but he was always disappointed.

His name was Hans, and he was the head of a mechanized infantry regiment in the German army. Because his grandfather had Jewish ancestry, he was cleared out by the German Wehrmacht.After losing his job, he had no means of living, so he opened a small auto repair shop in his hometown to make a living.

In this small town, he was originally the person with the highest status and was deeply respected by the people.His wife doesn't have to work, and her pampering is also very enviable.But now, he has become an unemployed person, and his financial resources have been greatly affected.His wife was forced to work to support the family, and his status in the small town plummeted.

Just this morning, before going to work, the wife said that their child's academic performance has recently declined, and she hopes to hire a tutor for tutoring.However, due to the poor business of Hans' auto repair shop and the large amount of money invested in this repair shop, they have no savings.The head of the colonel, who was once dignified, can't even afford the money for the children's tutoring.

Due to economic reasons, Hans' family was in such distress, which made him feel very ashamed.However, he didn't have the talent to do business, and he felt powerless even to run a small auto repair shop.

"Mr. Colonel." A voice woke up Hans who was dozing off. He opened his eyes and saw that the person speaking was an employee of his repair department and his former policeman Lucas.The name he calls Hans now still maintains the habit in the army.

"Good news." Lucas said excitedly.

Hans looked at Lucas with some puzzlement, and asked, "What good news?"

Lucas said: "Mr. Colonel, when I just passed by the post office, the people there asked me to tell you that General Guderian called and asked them to tell you that he invited you to Berlin and said that he would arrange for you A job that pays well."

Hans was very excited and said happily: "It's great that the old officer still remembers us. Hurry up and find your wife and tell her the news. Just say that I'm going to Berlin. After you inform her Come back quickly, and we will go to Berlin together."

Hans came to Berlin, and Guderian entertained him personally.Of course, Gao Jiu was also present at the banquet.

Guderian introduced Gao Jiu's situation to Hans. He praised Gao Jiu without hesitation, saying that Gao Jiu is a very good commander and a reliable friend. He suggested that Hans go to China with Gao Jiu.

Hans is a professional soldier. After leaving the army, he was very disappointed. It is Hans' dream to have the opportunity to engage in military work again, especially to be able to participate in the war.

Then, Gao Jiu put forward conditions that made him more interested. Gao Jiu promised to give Hans a monthly salary of 180 Deutsche Marks. Although it was not as good as Hans's previous income when he was the colonel's head, it was still similar. up.Moreover, Gao Jiu promised to give him a bonus according to the situation. In short, his income will definitely exceed his original income as the head of the German army.

Hans needs money too much now. With money, he can restore his family to its original glory and let his wife and children live a good life like before.Gao Jiu's invitation met all Hans' needs, and he agreed without hesitation.

Next, Gao Jiu's words made him even happier.Gao Jiu asked Hans to recruit 12 outstanding officers or senior sergeants from Germany.Hans used to have many old subordinates who were expelled from the army just like him, and their lives also encountered serious difficulties. He was excited that he could provide such an opportunity for his old subordinates.Moreover, he doesn't want to go to China alone, he can have his own team and feel more at ease in China.He immediately agreed to Gao Jiu's request.

Gao Jiu was a cheerful person, so he took out 1 Deutsche Marks and gave it to Hans on the spot, saying that the money was for him and the soldiers he recruited to settle down, and it would not be included in his future salary.

Seeing Gao Jiu's generosity, Hans strengthened his determination to go to China.

Hans was very excited. He returned to his hometown overnight, and it was already two o'clock in the morning when he got home.At this time, his wife and children were fast asleep.

Hans couldn't help the excitement in his heart. He also hoped that his wife would get the good news as soon as possible. He reached out and shook his wife gently, and whispered in her ear, "Honey, wake up!"

Hans' wife woke up and said with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? You woke me up in the middle of the night. I have to go to work tomorrow."

Hans hugged his wife, and he said happily: "Madam, from today onwards, you don't have to go to work anymore, I already have a new job. What do you think this is?" Pulled out a check for two thousand German marks.

Hans' wife hadn't seen so much money for a long time, and she said in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"

Hans said excitedly: "General Guderian introduced me to the job, and I'm going to China."

This morning, Gao Jiu received a call from William, saying that Gao Jiu would go to Gustav's manor at 10 o'clock the next morning, and the big man wanted to meet him.
