Wuhan.

Gao Jiu has been away for a month, but there is still no news. Although Lin Wenhan knew that this matter was too difficult, he arranged Gao Jiu to go to Germany with just a glimmer of hope. He was already prepared for Gao Jiu to be unable to complete this task.

However, once a person has hope for something, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will expect to finally achieve the result he wants. This thing is like a heart disease. A long wait is a torture for Lin Wenhan.

This morning, Minister He of the Military Command called Lin Wenhan over and asked about Gao Jiu's situation when he went to Germany.

He said anxiously: "Lao Lin, since the war started, the German equipment has lost most of the equipment. The most important thing is that the ammunition is basically gone, and the existing German equipment has lost its function.

The guo army can only change its domestic equipment now. It is impossible to support the needs of the National Army’s war of resistance by relying solely on a Wuhan arsenal. You are responsible for this work, so I don’t need to say more about the current situation of the National Army.

You arranged for Gao Jiu to go to Germany, but I don’t know what the result is? If he can really complete this task, I hope you can help him get the bullets and shell production lines from Germany. Otherwise, the ammunition transported back may not last long."

Lin Wenhan secretly complained in his heart. He sent his son-in-law to Germany just to contribute to the army. If he could get back those weapons, he would have burned Gao Xiang. Adding new tasks to Gao Jiu was simply unimaginable.

However, what Minister He said was indeed the case, so he had to say: "You are right. I will send a telegram to Gao Jiu after I go back. However, Minister He, don't have too much hope for this matter. I arranged for Gao Jiu to go to Germany, but I just wanted to be a living horse. It is hard to say whether I can get those weapons back. I can only try this matter."

Minister He nodded and said, "Lao Lin, am I in a hurry? If Gao Jiu can really get a large number of weapons back, it means that he has this ability. I believe he can do it too."

Lin Wenhan stopped talking, returned to his office and called Lin Yanni. Of course, he would not say anything to Lin Yanni on the phone. He said, "Yanni, come here for me, I have something to say to you."

Lin Yanni has never had any news about Gao Jiu. Before the matter was finished, Gao Jiu could not give Lin Yanni an accurate news.

Lin Yanni came to the military command, and Lin Wenhan said: "There is no news yet, so I'm afraid I'm facing great difficulties. Send him a telegram to ask about the progress of the matter. In addition, Minister He just came to me and said that he hopes to transport the bullets and shell production lines from Germany. You also tell Gao Jiu about this situation and let him do his best."

Lin Yanni was a little unhappy when she heard this. Although she believed that Gao Jiu could do everything, she didn't want others to add new pressure to her sweetheart. She said, "Dad, what my brother Jiu is going to do is already a huge problem. It's best not to add new tasks to him."

Lin Wenhan said: "The German-Armed Division is the main force of the national army. If Gao Jiu can get back that batch of weapons and ammunition, the guo army can indeed support it for a period of time. However, this is also a sourceless water. How long can it last? If the production line of bullets and artillery shells can be restored, it will greatly improve the continuous combat capability of the national army."

Lin Yanni said: "Dad, you understand all the daughters you said, but you know how difficult this matter is. Will adding new tasks to my ninth brother be even more difficult?"

Of course, Lin Wenhan understood this in his heart, but he still asked with hope: "How do you think Gao Jiu's ability to do things?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yanni was very proud. She said, "I have never been able to do what my ninth brother promised, but..."

Lin Yan Nicole is not stupid. She knew what her father would say later.

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

Yan Ni, this matter is for the sake of the country and nation, and for the cause of anti-Japanese war. However, Gao Jiu can be said to be a family with us now. Whether he can complete this task will have a great impact on him. You don’t want his reputation to be damaged, right?”

Lin Yanni said helplessly: "Okay, I'll send a telegram to tell me Brother Jiu in a short while."

Lin Yanni returned to the MIIS and sent Gao Jiu the request made by Lin Wenhan.

Gao Jiu quickly replied to the telegram. In the telegram, he did not complain and added new tasks to him. The content of the telegram was very short: "Do your best. Baby, I miss you."

Lin Yanni was very happy, took the telegram and kissed her on her lips, and said, "Dear Brother Jiu, 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 view of the overall situation, which was the true level of his son-in-law he wanted.

Berlin.

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

He called Gao Jiu and said, "Mr. Gao, the head of state said he hopes to meet you."

It turned out that the German head of state was a very fond of meritorious people, and he liked spectacular and huge things in everything.

During World War II, he instructed the German military department to build the world's largest artillery called the "Gustav Cannon". It weighs 1,344 tons, the entire cannon is 4 stories high, 20 feet wide, 140 feet long, the barrel diameter is nearly 1 meter wide, and a shell weighs 16,540 pounds. The "Gustav Cannon" can hit targets 29 miles away and is a "super weapon" at that time.

By the same token, the huge momentum of the armored cluster was also loved by the German head of state. He personally visited an armored cluster offensive exercise organized by Guderian and gave full affirmation, which is why the German Wehrmacht Department was able to quickly form the First Armored Army. Guderian, the commander of the armored army, was also appointed by the head of state himself.

The German head of state personally met Guderian, inquired about the installation of the A cluster of Gundry, and praised his blitzkrieg ideas. Guderian was a man of duty, and did not bury Gao Jiu's contributions. He reported to the head of state the formation of his blitzkrieg ideas, the inspiration from Gao Jiu, and the drawings of tanks and self-propelled artillery provided by Gao Jiu to the German Military Industry Department.

There is a little impression of Gao Jiu and the German Head of State, but I have never paid attention to it. Now that Guderian mentioned Gao Jiu, he aroused the interest of the head of state. He said at the time: "This young man from China, I want to see him after taking the time."

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

Gao Jiu was very happy to receive the news. If we could leave a deep impression on the head of state before the main event, things would be much easier. Gao Jiu expressed his gratitude to Guderian, and he proposed an invitation to Guderian, hoping to entertain him, and Guderian happily agreed.

At the banquet, Gao Jiu proposed to ask Guderian to recommend some outstanding retired officers to him, and he wanted to hire them to go to China to train his troops.

The Taohuashan guerrillas are now strong in combat, but they also have weaknesses, that is, their training is not standardized enough. Although the individual's skills are strong, the overall cooperation still has certain flaws. On the basis of the current situation, the rigorous training of the German infantry training scriptures can improve the overall combat effectiveness.

In addition to training the guerrillas in Taohua Mountain, Gao Jiu will have more important uses for them in the future.

Guderian was very happy because he happened to have this demand. The German Wehrmacht was reorganized not long ago. Due to various reasons, many of the former outstanding officers were eliminated. Many of them were excellent military talents that Guderian was very familiar with, and he felt sorry for their departure from the army. Gao Jiu was able to provide such an opportunity, and Guderian could find a way out for them.

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

In a small town outside Berlin, Germany, there is a car repair shop. A strong middle-aged man in his thirties sat in front of the repair department. He stared at the cars passing by on the road in a sporadic way, hoping that there would be business to come, but he was always disappointed.

His name is Hans. He turned out to be the leader of a mechanized infantry regiment of the German army. Because his grandfather had Jewish descent, he was cleaned up by the German Wehrmacht. After he was unemployed, he could not make a living, so he opened a small car repair shop in his hometown to make a living.

In this small town, he was originally the highest-ranking person and was highly respected by people. His wife did not have to work and was very enviable to live in a pampered life. But now, he has become an unemployed person and his financial resources have been greatly affected. His wife was forced to go out to work to subsidize her family, and his status in this small town plummeted.

Just this morning, my wife said before going to work that their children's academic performance has declined recently and hopes to hire a tutor for tutoring. However, because Hans's car repair shop is not doing well and because the repair shop has invested a lot of money, they no longer have saved money. The formerly dignified colonel leader can't even get the money to hire a tutor for the child.

Hans's family was so embarrassed because of financial reasons, which made him feel very ashamed. However, he did not have the ability to do business, and even felt a little overwhelmed in running a small car repair shop.

"Mr. Colonel." A voice woke Hans who was dozing. He opened his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was an employee of his repair department and Lucas, who was his former policeman. He now called Hans, and he remained in the army.

"Good news." Lucas said excitedly.

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

Lucas said: "Mr. Colonel, when I was just passing 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 very high-paid job."

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

Hans came to Berlin, and Guderian personally invited him. 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 was a very excellent commander and a trustworthy friend. He suggested that Hans and Gao Jiu go to China with him.

Hans is a professional soldier. After leaving the army, he was very disappointed. He was able to have the opportunity to engage in military work again, especially to participate in wars. This was really something Hans dreamed of.

Then, Gao Jiu proposed him the conditions that made him more interested. Gao Jiu agreed to give Hans a salary of 180 German marks every month. Although it was not as good as Hans's previous income when he was the colonel leader, it was almost the same. Moreover, Gao Jiu agreed to give him a bonus according to the situation, and in short, the income would definitely exceed his original income as the leader of the German army.

Hans needs money so much now. With money, he can restore his family to its original glory and allow his wife and children to live a prosperous life as they used to be. Gao Jiu's invitation met all of Hans' needs, and he agreed without hesitation.

Next, Gao Jiu's words made him happier. Gao Jiu asked Hans to recruit 12 excellent officers or senior sergeants from Germany. Hans used to have many old subordinates who were expelled from the army like him and encountered serious difficulties in life. He was excited that he could provide such opportunities for his old subordinates. Moreover, he did not want to go to China alone, have his own team, and be more at ease in China. He immediately agreed to Gao Jiu's request.

Gao Jiu was a happy man, so he took out 10,000 German Marks on the spot and gave it to Hans, saying that the money was for him and the settlement fees for the soldiers he recruited, and these were not included in future salaries.

Seeing Gao Jiu so generous, Hans became more determined to go to China.

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

Hans couldn't help but feel excited. He also hoped that his wife would get good news as soon as possible. He reached out and shook his wife gently, and whispered in her ear: "Dear, wake up!"

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

Hans hugged his wife and said happily: "Madam, from today on, you will never have to go to work again. I have a new job. Look what this is?" As he said, he took out a check of two thousand German marks from his pocket.

Hans's 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 work and I'm going to China."
