    After the rain, the sky in Shanghai is as clear as blue, and the dust emitted from the chimneys is washed away.  ^

    ? ^[On the Huangpu River, a former German 10,000-ton ship that was used to exchange for sulfa before the war slowly docked at the dock.  When the sailors lowered the gangway, hundreds of white Europeans who had fled the war began to disembark, with the largest number being Austro-Hungarians, Russians and French.  The loose visa issuance policy and stable environment have prompted many Europeans to try their luck in the Far East. Freighters traveling between China and Europe have become the main force of transportation. Nearly a thousand people arrive in the Far East every day, and most of them do not know clearly before departure.  Target.  .

    However, when they got off the boat in confusion, they immediately got the opportunity to realize their own value!  A group of young people wearing the logo of the National Socialist Youth Association held up billboards in various languages ????such as "Physics First", "Hiring Technical Workers with High Salaries", "Military Industry Technicians Provide Long-term Housing", etc. Many female students even came to join in the fun.  , most of their slogans are recruiting teachers of all types.  This is one of the actions to recruit talents for a powerful country launched by the National Socialist Youth Association, mainly recruiting various technical personnel from refugees.  At first, everyone thought this little trick was ridiculous, but two years later, they turned around and discovered that these young people from the national society who were all over China's customs had recruited no less than 20,000 people through this ant-moving method, including several  A well-known scientist in Europe!  And the promises and benefits are real. As long as you pass the skills assessment at the reception desk, the National Youth Association can quickly help you find a job with a salary almost equivalent to that in the United States.

    What¡¯s even more special is that if you have skills and are willing to cooperate with Chinese people to build a factory, they will also recommend suitable partners and provide business guarantees.  According to incomplete statistics, in the past two years, more than 300 factories of various types, ranging from food to metal processing, have been built through this kind of joint ventures and small loans. In Chongqing, there was even a factory owned by three shareholders: Austria-Hungary, China and Italy.  "Balaton Internal Combustion Engine Company" jointly invested and constructed.  And because it received an order for 198 military gasoline generators at the beginning of the year, it became the first joint venture factory to receive an order from the National Defense Forces. It once filled the front pages of major newspapers in the Republic of China.  Every time I think about this.  Traun, who was in the Mercedes car, admired Yang Qiu's five-door method of enhancing his own strength. From a single point of view, the effect of these messy methods was not great, but the total effect was very amazing.

    The driver honked his horn vigorously to disperse a dozen young people who were distributing leaflets advocating that Europe end the war as soon as possible and restore world peace.  This kind of picture sometimes makes people feel that the world is turned upside down!  When will it be the turn of Chinese young people to care about peace in Europe?  But then again, as Yang Qiu rises and leads these young people, the country is as restless and energetic as them.  .The bureaucratic group that inherited the Manchu Qing Dynasty but was suppressed to be more obedient, the industrial group composed of Westernizationists and overseas-study technicians, the Youth Association group that came to prominence two years ago due to the popularity of Henan's land reform, and of course the group that only listens to the orders of one person  military group

    These groups have the right to speak in the current Republic of China, restraining and competing with each other.  Take the opportunity of the European War to gradually push this ancient country onto a new path of rebirth.  No road is inherently smooth though.  Conflicts, quarrels and abuses occurred every day, but even he envied the dominance of the National Socialist Party. As the ruling party and the current largest interest faction, no matter how big their internal differences were, it was impossible for them to destroy the party. After all, they were in power.  No one is willing to give up the right.

    The clearly visible guard booths at both ends of the manufacturing bureau road not far away made him frown even more.  Since it was reported that the United States was helping China build a battlecruiser and lay down the keel, the security level of this shipyard has been greatly improved, and it is no longer an area that can be accessed casually.  Moreover, German technicians in the shipyard have recently begun to be restricted from going out in order to prevent military secrets from leaking.

    When did the Germans become equated with whistleblowers?  !  This is a terrible omen!  As the car drove into the German Embassy in the public concession, the American Stars and Stripes could be seen fluttering in the wind in the distance.  As soon as he got out of the car, Traun caught Pisarao who was in a hurry and asked, "Where is he?"

    Pisarao was a former civilian employee of the Qingdao Governor's Palace. Since he was not on the list of soldiers who needed to be supervised, he came to the embassy to help after the war. When he saw Traun, he immediately stopped: "The news yesterday morning is that he is still in Lyon. It is said that he is still in Lyon.  I am very interested in the tank manufacturing factory there." The man he is talking about is naturally Yang Qiu, who is currently visiting France for almost a week. Hearing that he is still wandering in Lyon and has not gone to Bordeaux, Traun's eyebrows are even more uneasy~~-  .

    Unless they are fools, diplomats all over the world now know that Bordeaux is the center of power of the French Provisional Government. Going around like this only shows that some peripheral negotiations have not been completed, so they immediately asked: "Can the people around him do it?"  Are they all in Lyon?"

    "I heard that two young diplomats went to Lyon the next day. Most of him are surrounded by officers and staff sent to Europe." Pisarao was also a little surprised why he didn't go to Bordeaux for so long and asked:  "Your Excellency?What do you think he's waiting for?  "

    "Waiting for the bid!" Pisarao's words made Traun even more firm in his guess!  Although Yang Qiu is still the vice president, due to his special status and the fact that he clearly told the world at the National Socialist Congress that he would serve as president at some point, countries around the world have regarded him as the core brain of China's power in the next twenty years!  Any diplomat is willing to deal with a person who can control the country for twenty years and has good Westernization ideas. This can bring long-term benefits.

    Precisely because they are optimistic about his future political prospects, it is not surprising that the French government received him in Lyon with high standards as a head of state.  Since it is the specification of the head of state, most of the agreements must have been reached before he met with the French President. The hesitation now only shows that the conditions have not been reached yet!  Of course, there is another reason for the delay in going. He is waiting for a loan.  !  A loan that is enough to convince the people and mobilize the troops.  !

    But Pisarao did not believe it and exclaimed: "God, doesn't he see that this is the moment when our Germany is the most powerful? Isn't he afraid of our country's victory and revenge after the war?" This is also true of Traun.  Strangely, he was not like the outside world who believed that Yang Qiu had been dazzled by a series of victories and was a madman who interfered in Europe's attempt to dominate the world before the country was completely resolved.  On the contrary, long-term interactions made him understand that in that young body is an extremely utilitarian but extremely calm brain!  But the problem is that Britain and France can give loans.  They could even pay a sky-high price for sending troops, but the core colonial interests were simply impossible to obtain after the war with the power of the Republic of China!  So why is he still involved in this war?  To disintegrate the Anglo-Japanese alliance?  This is possible.  But will Britain agree to dissolve this all-important Far Eastern alliance?

    While the fog entangled Traun and the German diplomats in China, they did not know that a piece of bad news had quietly spread in Casablanca!

    Deserts, camels, oasis, coffee and black tea constitute the street scene of Casablanca, Morocco. The brutal European War made the African continent extremely prosperous. White people who fled or were stranded on the African continent poured into the city one after another.  To win the war, nearly half of the wealth and resources that France collects from various colonies need to be transported here, so the trade volume here has been rising steadily for more than two years.  More importantly, due to the lack of a European-style strict social supervision system, this place has become the front line of the espionage war between the two major military groups. No one can tell how many secret transactions occur among the busy crowd every day.

    The harbor tavern is where sailors gather the most.  It is also the area with the greatest mix of fish and dragons.  It¡¯s not just Europeans here.  Americans, South Americans, and even quite a few Japanese.  Due to the sudden rise of several major shipping companies in the Republic of China, Japan's transportation industry shrank completely. After the war began, many Japanese sailors who wanted to make a fortune joined the Allied fleet.  These cheap labor effectively alleviated the tension problem of European sailors. After Chinese workers entered France in large numbers, some people even said that "the land belongs to the Chinese. The sea belongs to the Japanese."

    Unlike European sailors who are loud and noisy and even get into fights at every turn, the short Japanese sailors prefer to hide in groups in the corner, drink cheap beer, and then look at the world with small mouse eyes.

    "Yamazaki-kun, long time no see. Which route are you running?"

    In the corner, Bonn is holding a coffee cup, pretending to have afternoon tea, but his ears have already been inserted into the conversation of the Japanese sailors next door.  As a member of the German Intelligence Ministry, he worked at the German Embassy in Japan for five years, so he was very proficient in dictating Japanese.  Unlike other partners who focus on white people.  He likes to monitor the conversations of these dwarfs, because he finds that as more and more of these dwarfs join the Allied fleet, and because few people think they know Japanese, they often reveal some very useful information, just through  According to the information they revealed, the German submarine force had sunk no less than 70 merchant ships.

    This time he did not fail, because these Japanese sailors talking in Japanese brought big news!

    "British Foreman Shipping Company. Those damn white devils don't even treat us as human beings! I'm going back to China after this job, and I don't want to work for them."

    "Go back to the country? Mr. Yamazaki, please listen to me. Although you will be bullied here, it is better than going home to starve. You don't know it yet, but our country's food harvest failed again in the first half of the year. The North Korean guerrillas took this opportunity to deliberately burn the country's fresh food."  The harvested grain is now in very bad condition, and I heard that there are even rice grabbing incidents in Osaka.¡±

    "That's better than here. You don't know, we were responsible for transporting ore from South Africa recently, but this road is too dangerous! Last week I saw two ships exploding next to me."

    "Aren't there escorts by warships?"

    "Warships? They are all on the Atlantic route between Britain and the United States. There are only two torpedo ships around us that are smaller than the Combined Fleet. Damn it, seven of our ships will leave here again next Wednesday.I will go to Nantes, France first, and then transfer to London. I really don¡¯t want to take this road, it¡¯s too dangerous!  I am afraid.  "

    "Why"

    Seven ships!  Regardless of the subsequent nagging and pessimism about Japan, Bonn picked up the black tea and sipped it gently.  Like an elegant gentleman, he calls the Indian waiter to pay the bill with a full London accent.  But he didn't know that shortly after he left, the Japanese sailors also walked out of the tavern and walked into the maze-like alley.

    "Where to go next?"

    ¡°Finland, then to St. Petersburg.¡±

    "Take care of yourself."

    The dialogue is in perfect Chinese!
