Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 177 Brother, You Are Here Again
When Qian Xiaobao returned home, Second Master Qi was watching the new year.He would sit by the lamp all night.

"Come back so soon?" Second Master Qi asked in surprise.

Qian Xiaobao was very embarrassed by Second Master Qi's question.Second Master Qi was so worried about him, but on the [-]th night, he went to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Xiao Linxun.

"The training center was attacked, and I was the only one who came back alive." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"Who did it?" Second Master Qi continued to ask.

In addition to the anti-Japanese teams, there are many anti-Japanese teams like the Hailin Eighth Team.Some used to be bandits, and some used to be farmers.

There are many such teams in Yanshou and Zhuhe near Hailin.Sometimes they act together with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and more often they act alone.

It's just that most of these teams have been wiped out by the Japanese in recent years.

Second Master Qi knew quite a few teams like this when he was on the mountain.But Qian Xiaobao didn't want to tell Second Master Qi the specific situation.This will save him from worrying and be safer.

"I don't know. I ran out first in the name of delivering a letter when I saw something bad." Qian Xiaobao replied vaguely.

"At this time, there are still people who are messing with the Japanese!" Second Master Qi said with emotion.

"Why not? There are so many!" Qian Xiaobao replied.

Qian Xiaobao wanted to persuade Second Master Qi to rest earlier, but Second Master Qi stubbornly refused.

"Go to bed, I'll watch for you! Stay up until tomorrow morning, and there won't be any evil heretics for a year!" Qi Erye said.

The next day Qian Xiaobao woke up very late.He always felt as if there was something he hadn't done, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

After thinking for a long time, Qian Xiaobao remembered that Fan Wengui entrusted him to find someone.

Qian Xiaobao put on his clothes and went out of the road.I heard that there are hundreds of brothels in Huifangli.There are dozens of kilns in the three two-story buildings in Huifangli alone.

The closer Qian Xiaobao got to Huifangli, the more he felt something was wrong.The streets where people usually come and go are empty.Occasionally, a pedestrian would look at Qian Xiaobao with strange eyes when passing by.

Qian Xiaobao came to his senses after walking into Huifang and looking at the empty alley.It is the first day of the new year, and everyone is staying at home.

What to do every day in the first, second, third, and fourth grades of junior high school, but there are particulars.Only he plunged into Huifang.

Can't wait for others to look at him with strange eyes.How anxious is it to go to Huifangli on the first day of the new year.

Besides, he may not be able to go in today.Everyone wants to celebrate the New Year.

Thinking of this, Qian Xiaobao turned around and walked back.He circled the street twice before heading to Schultz's.

Schultz was also surprised that Qian Xiaobao could come back so quickly.

"I was attacked that night and almost couldn't come back." Qian Xiaobao said simply.

He came to Schultz today to talk about the situation of the Japanese troops stationed in Muling that he saw.

Qian Xiaobao didn't know that the Eighth Division had just arrived in Suifenhe from Japan two months ago when he was bandaging his wounds in the field hospital of the Eighth Division in Mudanjiang.

In this way, there are three elite divisions of the Japanese near Mudanjiang.

Schultz listened in silence.

Qian Xiaobao then talked about seeing the airport next to the Bamiantong Railway Station.

"How long is the airport?" Schultz asked.This is very important, and it is related to the question of what kind of aircraft can take off and land.

"It looks like it's two miles long and one mile wide." Qian Xiaobao replied.

So it is 1000 meters long.Schultz calculated in his mind.All Japanese aircraft, from fighter jets to bombers, should be able to take off and land at this airport.

However, what Schultz is most interested in is what Qian Xiaobao mentioned about Germany's recent large-scale purchase of soybeans in the Northeast.

As a crop with high protein content, soybean has high military value.

Schultz is a man who has been in the Great War.The butter he ate while serving in the German Army was margarine made from soybeans.

Why did Germany suddenly buy so many soybeans?Is war going to start again?
It is a pity that De Bruyne has already returned to Germany.Otherwise, you can hear a lot of useful things from him.

Schultz decided to report this piece of information to his superiors first.

Knorr, the German trade representative in Manchukuo, was very busy during this time.As soon as he took office as the trade representative in Manchukuo, he started to import soybeans.

According to the just-signed secret economic agreement between Germany and Manchukuo.Every year Germany buys 500 million marks worth of goods in Manchukuo.And Manchukuo wants to buy [-] million marks in Germany.

Of course, the Germans knew that Manchukuo was a puppet of the Japanese.The goods purchased in Germany with 500 million marks are actually what the Japanese need.

The [-] million marks that Germany spends each year are mainly used to buy soybeans from Manchukuo.

But the soybeans in Manchukuo are also needed by the Japanese who are now at war.

The Germans needed the nod from the Japanese to buy soybeans in Manchukuo.

When Knorr-Bremse was negotiating with the high-level Kwantung Army, the Japanese implicitly mentioned the issues of automobile technology and coal liquefaction.

Automobile technology is related to the problem of building fast troops.At the same time, it is very helpful to improve the level of tank development of the Japanese.

Coal liquefaction technology is even more important to Japan, a country that lacks oil.Making gasoline and diesel from coal excavated in the Northeast has always been the goal pursued by the Kwantung Army.And Germany is a powerful country in the chemical industry, mastering the key technology of coal liquefaction.

But such an important matter is simply not something that someone at Knorr's level can decide.

Knorr could only rush to the German Consulate in Harbin to send a report to the German side for instructions on countermeasures.

Knorr-Bremse received a call back two days later: new German negotiators were on their way to Japan.

But when Knorr notified the Kwantung Army of the news, the Kwantung Army responded extremely coldly.

The quid pro quo that the German negotiators went to Tokyo to negotiate was not necessarily what the Kwantung Army needed.But it needs to be replaced by soybeans from the Northeast.

"It seems that we have to rely entirely on ourselves now," said Qin Yansaburo, chief of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.

"How is Potatoski's current work situation?" Qin Yansaburo asked.

Potatosky is the code name given by the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army to the defected tank engineer Doroshenko.

And Doroshenko is now drawing Soviet tank drawings in a secret location day and night with his impression.

"Drawing in a secret location. Now he's drawing a big guy with multiple turrets!" Michitake Yamaoka replied.

"But what if Hara Otomi hasn't left yet?" Yamaoka Michitake asked.

The Japanese Army's former Otomi, who was in charge of the armored vehicle design, has been waiting here to take Doroshenko back to Japan.

"Block the news! Don't let anyone know the whereabouts of Tudouski!" Qin Yansaburo said.
