Shadow Spy

Chapter 319 The European War Situation and the Air Force

On Monday, June 6, Zheng Pingling told Li Junhao that Chen Baohua had handed over the contact password. She had directly contacted Xu Enzeng many times and had basically reached an agreement...

oh?Li Junhao became interested and listened to her introduction.

The two sides agreed on the first substitution: Xu Enzeng was responsible for secretly rescuing the six air force personnel and handing them over to the U.S. Yangtze River Fleet to take them to Shanghai; Zheng Pingru was responsible for secretly releasing the 22 Central Military Commission personnel who were serving labor and handing them over to the Central Military Commission. Shanghai-Hai Station.

In the second barter trade, Xu Enzeng is responsible for regularly delivering various goods (including tungsten sand, bristle, tung oil, etc.) to Hong Kong Island; Zheng Pingru is responsible for delivering industrial products produced in Shanghai (including cotton cloth, cotton yarn, stationery, ink, and mechanical and electrical accessories). etc.) to Hong Kong Island, where both parties conduct barter trade.

Huh!Li Junhao was very surprised. Xu Enzeng was so good at delivering goods to Hong Kong Island!By the way, this means no more currency exchange?

Zheng Pingru smiled. The three sisters had brainstormed and thought of many ways. They even considered every word in the telegram exchange and negotiation. Finally, they achieved their goal, and they did not have to exchange dollars for Xu Enzeng, thus avoiding a lot of losses.Of course, Xu Enzeng did not suffer a loss. In this kind of barter trade, he could make two profits between entering and exiting, and the profit was also not small.

"Not bad! You did a great job!" Li Junhao praised without hesitation. The result was much better than he expected.It seems that he needs to re-evaluate the ability of the three female generals.

European news, watching the German army galloping across Western Europe, the Soviet Union could not help it.

On June 6, the Soviet Union sent troops to occupy three Baltic countries, including Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, and recovered the territory lost after World War I.

In response, Germany and the Soviet Union praised each other's military achievements. Hitler expressed his approval of the Soviet action, while Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov expressed "warm congratulations" on the German army's series of brilliant victories.

This situation has made all countries in the world nervous, fearing that these two countries will really unite and carve up the world! ——
In the Shanghai Concession, in the Joint Headquarters, Li Junhao saw this battle report and threw it aside, laughing in his heart. The Soviet Union's efforts at this time were actually all in vain. Apart from affecting its own reputation, there were no practical benefits. Next year At this time, the German army should attack it! ——
At the end of June, Zheng Haicheng and five comrades arrived in Shanghai on a US warship. Zheng Pingru received them and arranged for them to rest in the concession for a few days. During this period, he brought his younger brother home to reunite with his father Zheng Yue.

Subsequently, after Zheng Pingru solicited the opinions of these six people, Li Xiaoyu arranged for them to go to Yan'an through the underground party's secret transportation line. Their future development will depend on them.

During this process, Li Junhao did not show up. His current status is quite special, and it is difficult for some people to meet directly.However, he asked Zheng Pingru to give $[-] to these six people. He didn't care whether they kept it for themselves or handed it over to the organization.

After Xu Enzeng fulfilled his promise, Li Junhao also instructed the police station to release the arrested Central Command personnel serving hard labor and hand them over to Chen Baohua to take away so that Zheng Pingru could fulfill her promise.

As for the subsequent barter trade, it still takes some time. The two parties have to agree on the type and quantity of the goods. These are all the responsibility of Zheng Pingru and the others. Li Junhao just introduced a few British friends on Hong Kong Island to her, as well as those stationed in Hong Kong. As for the Consulate General, just let his secretary Miliya contact him.

Time has entered July, and the situation in the Shanghai Concession is still very stable. However, on the European continent thousands of miles away, Germany has occupied the entire Western Europe, controlling the entire Atlantic coast from Norway in the north to Spain in the south, leaving only The last and most tenacious enemy is Britain.

The British Isles are in trouble. The British Empire has changed from a blockade to a blockade. The situation is precarious and it can only keep asking for help from its last ally, the United States.U.S. President Roosevelt was also aware of the critical situation and continuously asked Congress to increase defense funding, strengthen war preparations, and provide vigorous assistance to the United Kingdom. However, he was still blocked by conservative forces.

Seeing the European battle reports and the news coming from the United States, Li Junhao knew that the largest air battle in history was about to begin.Whether in terms of courage, process, or results, the British did very well this time. They withstood the German air raids and persisted until victory, which is a very rare thing.

Thinking that the German Air Force could dispatch nearly 3000 aircraft to attack the British mainland, Li Junhao was extremely envious. It was not that Germany had many aircraft, but that it had many pilots!He can't even get three pilots out now.

Previously, three of Zheng Pingru's younger brothers and several of his comrades were pilots, but their identities could be determined to be underground members. If they were left here, the news would probably be leaked out soon - you know, they are all originally members of the underground party. People from the Kuomintang Air Force!

Xu Enzeng was able to get them out, and he must have played a trick of "swapping the civet cat for the prince". Once these people are found in the Shanghai Concession, things will be in trouble!
In his current capacity, he can sympathize with the underground party, and even help the underground party, but he must not work with it, because that will break the bottom line of the US government.

So he knew that keeping Zheng Haicheng and others was the best thing for him, but he couldn't do it. It was very painful!

At this time, he suddenly remembered the famous "Flying Tigers" in history. When did this volunteer air force come to China?He patted his head and tried to think, but he couldn't remember.

He asked someone from the Consulate General to check, and the reply was that there was no such thing!Well, that's just not the time yet.

So can he take this approach?After thinking about it, he found that it was very difficult. He was now a member of the government and the military. It was absolutely impossible to establish an air force privately. This was completely different from building one for himself and driving it for fun.What a headache!

Just at this time, Chief of Staff Yang Shixiong came to him to report on the training plans of various troops. Li Junhao took over the plan and hastily read it over. He patiently listened to the other party's report and signed the plan with a swipe of a pen.

Seeing that Yang Shixiong was about to leave after taking back the plan, he hurriedly pulled him back and told him his troubles.

Yang Shixiong was shocked when he heard Li Junhao say that he wanted to establish his own air force. Although he also believed that having an air force would be very beneficial to the concession, there is no such condition now!

But seeing Li Junhao's expectant eyes, Yang Shixiong could only try to help find a way...
