Chapter 40 Hansen Visits
After separating from Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan took his rickshaw back to the base, and reported the whole process of Lu Yuan's meeting with him, including Lu Yuan's request, to his superior. "I don't know what this kid is up to now, but judging from the few times we have had contact with him, this kid has no malice towards us. If I were to define him, I would think that this kid He's not a bad guy, and he seems to have an admiring hatred for the Japanese."

Just based on these few contacts with Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan is still not completely sure that Lu Yuan can accept his lobbying and join the underground organization, but generally speaking, Xu Huanshan still has confidence and trust in Lu Yuan.The high-level underground party in Shanghai also held the same opinion on Xu Huanshan's affirmation, but on the issue of whether to give Lu Yuan intelligence support, there were different voices among the underground party high-level. The way of thieves, once things are exposed, will be detrimental to the reputation of the underground party.

Xu Huanshan has no way to refute different opinions. In fact, the opinions of opponents are not unreasonable. If the fact that the Shanghai underground party provided Lu Yuan with such information support is exposed, it will indeed affect the reputation of the underground party.Lu Yuan didn't know that the Shanghai underground party would have a fierce dispute because of his small request. He was entertaining Hansen and his party in his residence, especially Hansen brought three German military personnel in civilian clothes.

Hansen did not immediately introduce the three of them to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan could only choose to ignore the other three for the time being, until Lu Yuan came to his senses and called Hansen and his party to go upstairs to his study. Three people introduced to Lu Yuan. "Lu, this is General Hausmann from the German Wehrmacht Staff. These two are his assistant, Major Eric, and his adjutant, Captain Luca. I showed General Hausmann the weapons drawings that were given to me. The general is very interested in them and wants to meet the provider of your blueprint, so I brought them here."

"Lu, please forgive us for coming uninvited, but I have to say it's your fault, because those drawings of yours are really amazing, I can't wait to meet you, because I have some small problems that I want Discuss with you." General Hausmann introduced by Hansen looked to be in his 40s, with typical Germanic blond hair, and a slight smile on his angular face.He didn't feel embarrassed at all because of Lu Yuan's little hesitation. Instead, he stretched out his right hand to Lu Yuan first, and his words were full of Chinese-style enthusiasm.

Lu Yuan was secretly amazed by General Hausmann's anti-client, and wondered if this guy had lived in China for many years, otherwise how could this guy speak Chinese so fluently.Xu Shi saw the doubt in Lu Yuan's eyes, General Hausmann released his right hand and smiled at Lu Yuan, "I have always been interested in the mysterious China, and I have a language teacher from China, besides, I live in Shanghai It has been more than 4 years, and it is not a rare thing to be able to speak Chinese.”

Housman's answer made Lu Yuan smile a little embarrassedly. After they sat down in the study, when Faber brought the coffee in, Lu Yuan followed Hansen's instructions and closed the doors in the study. "Lu, we have carefully read the blueprints you handed over to Mr. Hansen. Those Soviet-style rifle blueprints are nothing to us. What I want to know is that the American Garand rifle last year They have just begun to equip their army, how did you get the detailed information and drawings?"

Facing General Hausmann's question, Lu Yuan explained with a smile, "There is nothing worth hiding. I have already told Mr. Hansen that I am an overseas Chinese who came back from Europe. Because I have a lot of friends, I am in Europe. I have many friends, and I can guarantee the accuracy of the blueprints I showed to Mr. Hansen, because I am fortunate enough to have seen the original design drawings of these weapons with my own eyes." There are obviously big loopholes in Lu Yuan's statement , but Lu Yuan himself didn't care, because he knew that if he didn't want to tell, no one could force him to tell the truth.

As Lu Yuan expected, his remarks did not get the approval of General Hausmann, and even Hansen shook his head repeatedly.Seeing this, Lu Yuan had no choice but to continue, "Actually, you don't need to get to the bottom of it to find out the reason. What I want to say is that this is actually a deal. Those blueprints are a bargaining chip for me to exchange for the support of your country's consulate. If you think my chips are not enough, maybe I can come up with other chips, there will always be chips that can satisfy you, isn't it?"

For Lu Yuan's calmness, General Housman secretly praised him, but he knew what the main purpose of his trip was, and at the same time he secretly praised Lu Yuan, he also asked the routing question again. "Lu, I'm still asking the question just now. We must know how you obtained the information on the American Garand rifle. This is very important to us." General Housman was so entangled in the blueprint of the Garand rifle. The source, this is what Lu Yuan didn't think of, but he can't say that it was drawn by himself, so Lu Yuan can only answer the other party according to the answer he wanted in advance.

"Okay, then I'll tell you. In fact, the Americans have started to develop semi-automatic rifles with sustained firepower as early as 1935. The design of the Garand rifle was finalized in 1935. After a long period of lobbying And testing, the U.S. government decided to gradually equip their troops from the beginning of 1936. A good friend of mine was once a member of the Garand rifle test team. For the data and information of this semi-automatic rifle, I I don't think anyone else is more familiar than him."

Lu Yuan's answer seemed to miss the point, and there was still a hint of doubt in General Hausmann's eyes, but neither he nor Hansen continued to ask about the source of the Garand rifle's blueprint.After the First World War, although Germany was sanctioned by the war as a defeated country, the sanctioned German industry did not collapse because of this. On the contrary, after the First World War, there were many refreshing designs and ideas in the German military industry. One of them is a semi-automatic rifle that is lighter than a machine gun and can provide sustained firepower on the battlefield.

The news that the Americans have developed the Garand rifle is not a secret to Germany, but the German spies have tried their best but have not been able to get the real object and drawings of the gun. General Hausmann, who happened to be on business in Shanghai Knowing that a German expatriate living in Shanghai had a design drawing of the Garand rifle in his hand, he was greatly surprised and took the initiative to find Hansen, which triggered Hansen to bring them to Lu Yuan for verification.

Regardless of whether there are loopholes in Lu Yuan's answer, General Hausmann is now quite sure that Hansen is not lying, and that the blueprint of the Garand rifle he got is indeed closely related to the young man in front of him. "Lu, I have to admit that you are very good, but what I want to say is that if you want to win the support of the empire, just a blueprint of a rifle does not seem to be enough. The empire cannot just because of a blueprint of a rifle you provided The Japanese are divided on some issues because that is not in the interests of the empire."

Damn the interests of the empire, Lu Yuan cursed secretly in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, "General, I don't know what the differences you just said are, but what I want to say is that if I were you, as long as It is something that is beneficial to the empire. Even if I will be blamed by the head of the empire, I will do it. What's more, I don't think the Japanese dare to challenge the majesty of the empire. Don't you think that the Japanese have behaved in Asian affairs? Are you getting more insane? I personally think that the Japanese’s eagerness to show their greed for Asia is not a good thing for the overall strategy of the empire.”

"Oh, the overall strategy of the empire? Young man, I'm starting to be more curious about you." Lu Yuan's answer made General Housman subconsciously reach out and touch his chin, and then smiled at Lu Yuan. "Lu, that's all right. Let's make a new deal. You just mentioned the overall strategy. I don't know if you came up with this word yourself or heard it from someone else. If you can give me an Come up with an answer that satisfies me, and I will persuade the consulate in Nanjing to support your plan, otherwise I will pay you a sum of money, which is the cost for us to buy those blueprints from you."

General Housman's attitude changed so quickly, even Hansen didn't expect it, and he didn't expect that General Housman would value Lu Yuan so much. There is no habit of actively negotiating with others.Hansen showed shock on his face, but Lu Yuan still smiled flatly, "General, I have to admit that you are a very good negotiator. You seem to have decided that I have no other choice."

Lu Yuan's confession made General Housman laugh very proudly, so Lu Yuan had no choice but to get up and take out a world map from the bookshelf and spread it out on the table. "This is China, and its position in Asia, I don't think I need to say more. It is already an indisputable fact that the Japanese are eyeing China. However, in the current China, European countries all have large and small interests. , once the Japanese launch a war against China, they will assume that China will fully surrender like the Manchu Qing decades ago.”

"However, we can imagine what would happen if China did not choose to surrender, but instead used China's depth to stand in a stalemate with the Japanese. I admit that the Japanese army is indeed powerful, but the Japanese also have a fatal problem, that is, their The population cannot provide enough troops to occupy China. Once this kind of war stalemate occurs, what will the European countries with interests in China do? I know that Japan has always wanted to form an alliance with your country. In this case, the alliance may trigger The hostility and vigilance of your country in the European national team."
