Chapter 42
After showing his bargaining chip, Lu Yuan took the initiative to invite Hansen and the others to have lunch at his residence, and then left the study to Hansen and the others with the excuse of ordering the housekeeper. "General, do we really want to believe what this young man said? Whether it is the empire or the British and American exploration teams, they have already carried out oil exploration in the country, but they have found nothing. Just relying on his illusory rumors, can it be Are we really going to report this matter to the head of state? If things are not what we expected, general, you will be blamed or even punished by the head of state."

After Lu Yuan voluntarily left the study, the adjutant Luka lowered his voice to persuade General Hausmann. Even Hansen nodded repeatedly. He also felt that what Lu Yuan just said sounded full of loopholes. If such things were reported When it comes to the head of state, what kind of consequences may be incurred, the head of state is not a soft-hearted person.Luca has followed General Hausmann for many years, and General Hausmann naturally would not doubt Luca's loyalty to him. Faced with Luca's persuasion, General Hausmann said nothing.

Although General Hausmann said nothing, he was hesitating in his heart like a battle between heaven and man. Lu Yuan said that there are stone resources in Germany, which really hit General Hausmann's weakness.If Lu Yuan just used those weapon blueprints to talk about things just now, maybe General Hausmann would pay Lu Yuan a sum of money, but Lu Yuan mentioned oil later. That thing is what the empire urgently needs. If the empire can Controlling enough oil, whether it is an armored force or an air force, can immediately increase its size several times or even dozens of times.

General Housman now knows himself. On the one hand, like Luca, he does not believe what Lu Yuan said just now, but on the other hand, General Housman hopes that what Lu Yuan said is true. Really, because oil is so important to the empire, not to mention that what Lu Yuan just said was local oil.After pondering for a while, General Hausmann said in a deep voice, "Luka, don't jump to conclusions, it's still early anyway, it's a big deal, let's have another dinner here."

God, how did General Hausman, who has always been vigorous and vigorous, become a foodie? Luka's heart was full of melancholy, and it was all due to that damned kid.After leaving the study, Lu Yuan told the butler, Uncle Fu, to prepare more lunch. Afterwards, Lu Yuan deliberately smoked a cigarette downstairs before turning back to the study upstairs. "Lu, I want to know how sure you are about the oil in Germany?" According to General Hausmann's instructions, Hansen, who is most familiar with Lu Yuan, was the first to speak, and his question was also The other three are most concerned.

Hansen reconfirmed the credibility of the matter to himself, and Lu Yuan already understood that during the period when he left the study just now, these Germans must have had a simple discussion. It seems that his plan has at least been completed. Half the battle.Facing Hansen's question, Lu Yuan asked back with a smile on his face, "Mr. Hansen, since the day you met me, you can see that I have joked with you or just talked about it? Especially in this important matter?"

Lu Yuan's rhetorical question made Hansen speechless for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, since he and Lu Yuan met, this young man has brought him many surprises, and at the same time, it seems that he has never made any mistakes or uttered any big words. "Well, I admit that you are an honest person, but you have to know that this matter is too important, and I need you to give a positive and definite answer, and I want you to want me to assure you that you are not cheating on this matter Me and the general."

Lu Yuan frowned when he heard the words, and then replied with some dissatisfaction, "Mr. Hansen, why do you think I am deceiving you and the general? What benefits can I get by deceiving you? Besides, didn't I promise you that you will meet next year?" I went to Germany in February, so after I deceived you, would I choose to throw myself into the net?” Lu Yuan’s series of rhetorical questions made Hansen overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to cast his eyes on the adjutant Luca. Those questions just now were all ordered by Luka.

Seeing Hansen's eyes on himself, Luka didn't feel any pressure at all. After dozing twice, Luka, who had never spoken before, said to Lu Yuan. "Lu, Mr. Hansen said that you are a trustworthy person and a very capable person. Regarding this, Mr. Hansen may be the only one among us who knows this, but I have never dealt with you. So I don't know if what Mr. Hansen said is true, so I am naturally qualified to doubt it."

"To be honest, I don't really believe what you said about the oil. After World War I, both the Empire and the United Kingdom and the United States organized large-scale oil exploration work in Germany, but unfortunately, they all found nothing. I don’t know if the British engineer you know has ever worked in the British oil exploration team, but if he mentioned in his diary that there is oil in Germany, then I can tell you clearly, I don't believe in that so-called diary because it's impossible."

Lu Yuan knew that the lies he fabricated could not withstand strict scrutiny, but at this moment he had no way out, he could only continue to stick to what he just said, he just couldn't figure out why this Luca was so sure of himself The fabricated diary is a fake.Luka has been paying attention to Lu Yuan's expression, and he didn't see the panic after the lie was revealed on Lu Yuan's face, which seemed to make Luka even more angry, so in order to continue to fight against Lu Yuan, a liar, Luka immediately threw out a warrant Lu Yuan's unexpected answer.

"You may wonder why I said that the diary is impossible. I can tell you the answer now. Whether it is the exploration activities in Germany or the exploration activities in the United Kingdom and the United States, all the exploration data and related records , all have been sealed in the archives of the Ministry of Industry of the Empire. When all relevant personnel evacuated from the exploration site, we tried to carefully check their items. All records related to exploration activities, including their diaries, are all Destroyed or sealed, my father was one of the commanders in charge of these matters at the time."

Luka's answer was not inaccurate, and Hansen and the others immediately focused their attention on Lu Yuan again. Lu Yuan secretly thought that it was really bad to be stared at. "Captain Luca, what I want to say is, what can you prove by what you just said? I said, I can be 100% sure that there is oil in Germany, and the oil that you search for is in your homeland. You can't find it. In fact, it has nothing to do with me, so it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not."

Lu Yuan simply acted like a bachelor, because if he asked Luka to continue to question, he would need to tell a bigger lie to cover up his previous lie. It has already collapsed ahead of time.Lu Yuan played bachelor, but Luka did not think of it. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have no way to force Lu Yuan to do what he had to do.

"Lu, what kind of help do you want the Nanjing Consulate to do for you?" It was General Housman who broke the embarrassment in the study in time, and at the same time successfully changed the topic, which made the slightly embarrassed Luka and Lu Yuan both Secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"It is very likely that in the follow-up battle, the anger will be vented on innocent civilians. Nanjing is the capital of the national government. Neither the Japanese army nor the national army will give up easily. I am worried that it is precisely because of this that as a passive defense The national government will not organize a large-scale evacuation of civilians from Nanjing, but once the city is broken, I hope that my refugee camp will be able to rescue some innocent civilians who were endangered by the Japanese army."

"The Japanese have always sought help from Germany, so their army will not and dare not conflict with the Germans. If this refugee camp is led by some Germans, to a certain extent, the Japanese army will not go to the refugee camp. Troublesome. As for the military uniforms and weapons, they are also used to show the Japanese army. After all, refugee camps protected by German soldiers are more secure and intimidating than ordinary refugee camps."

After carefully listening to Lu Yuan's entire plan, General Housman had to secretly praise the young man in front of him for his thoughtfulness, boldness and carefulness. However, after secretly praising him, General Housman still smiled wryly, he already understood The weapon blueprints that Lu Yuan handed over to Hansen were simply bait for fishing, and he himself was the big fish that took the bait automatically. "Lu, I can promise you these things you want now, but you have to promise me that you will go to Germany with me next February." After thinking about these things, General Hausmann gave An answer that made Lu Yuan jump with joy.

"General, I can promise you now, and I promise, I will lead your exploration team to find oil in Germany." The biggest problem that has been entangled in his heart has been solved, and Lu Yuan's expression immediately becomes happy. It's just that his pleasure, in Luka's view, is a manifestation of a successful lie, and he becomes more and more vigilant towards Lu Yuan in his heart.
