There is always a crossing that suits you

"I finally got rid of them." The day and night of fleeing finally came to an end, and Qiao Mu let out a sigh of relief.Although his waist was still straight, anyone with a discerning eye could see the relaxed aura exuding from him.

Zu Xiong glanced at the young man beside him, but didn't say anything.For an officer in this age group, his performance has far exceeded his expectations.The always stern general decided to forgive the young man for his actions.

"We have to meet the coal ship on a deserted island in the Aegean Sea, otherwise the remaining fuel will not be enough to support us."

"Yes!"

"Do you want to contact the Turkish side?" an officer asked.

"Is your head just for display?" The old general said unceremoniously, "Send a telegram? Huh! Electromagnetic waves will be as obvious as a lighthouse in the dark. How is this different from waving to the British and saying 'we are here'? !"

------

After spending two full days adding coal, the navy crew, who got rid of the fuel crisis, sailed safely to the entrance of the Dardanelles.

"All crew in battle station." The admiral who acted without authorization ordered, "Put up the signal flag and ask them to send a pilot."

"Yes, sir!"

"Come with me." Zu Xiong ordered Qiao Mu to walk towards the observation tower.

Qiao Mu didn't dare to delay, and followed immediately.

"Sir."

"Young man, you are very courageous. But courage is not enough on the battlefield." The general's old voice was still sonorous and powerful, "In this world, only smart people can live longer, of course not pretending to be smart."

Qiao Mu knew that the old general was guiding him, so he stood respectfully with his head bowed.

"The future of the German Navy is yours, you must learn to protect yourself."

"However, always be prepared to sacrifice for this beautiful country."

"My old man has lived to such a great age. Many comrades who joined the army with me either died in battle or retired. So many people came and went, but I stayed. Not only because I dared to fight, but also because I could see clearly .”

"Loyalty is always the most valuable quality."

After Zu Xiong finished speaking, he looked into the distance and didn't say another word.

The sea breeze in the morning is cool, blowing the broken hair on Qiao Shu's forehead.He also cast his eyes on the distant port, silent.He didn't expect that the elder with piercing eyes could see his hesitation after spending such a short time together.He was not a staunch German soldier, and a lack of firmness was fatal anywhere.If it was not the old man who saw through him today but an extreme nationalist, he would have to wait to be hanged.Now the war has just begun, he still has a long way to go, and it will only be sooner or later if he doesn't make up his mind to die.

"Sir, give me the task of persuading the Turks." After a long time, Qiao Mu said, "I can go there by boat, and I will definitely live up to expectations."

Zu Xiong nodded with his back to Qiao Mu, and never looked at the young captain from the beginning to the end.

--------------

Henry Morgenthau felt that he was very unlucky. As an American ambassador, he could have easily stayed in the safe zone and enjoyed life. Who would want to visit his second relatives but caught up with the naval battle between Germany and Britain?He and his daughter's family of five passengers sailed smoothly from Venice to Istanbul. The weather was clear and not too hot. When he was watching the sea view on the deck with great interest, the Italian captain told him that Yingde was in the distance. naval battle.Henry is not a little man who has never seen the world, but this does not mean that he can calmly face the warships that are confronting each other, especially when he is on a passenger ship that does not have any offensive power!

After finally reaching the shore safely, the Germans came to the door before they had time to catch their breath.After some explanations, no matter whether the Germans believed it or not, he didn't want to pester him anymore.

"That's all I know." Henry took a sip of the warm milk his daughter handed him, feeling much better.

"Sir, are you sure what you saw was the 'Goben'?" The German military adviser reconfirmed.

"Yes, and the captain of the passenger ship I was in did. I'm sure."

"Thank you so much for your cooperation. Excuse me." The military adviser left with the rest of the embassy.

"...the world is going to be chaotic." Seeing the Germans leave, Henry gulped down the liquid in his glass.It was obviously sweet milk, but there was a little bit of bitterness in his mouth.

"dad……"

"It's okay." Henry gave his daughter a soothing smile, and stood up. "I want to send a telegram to the United States. I'm afraid Turkey will form an alliance with Germany. Hey, Europe is already on fire."

--------

Henry Morgenthau felt unlucky, and Turkish Defense Minister Enver Pasha was also in a dilemma.He is a pro-German faction, but a few days ago the Prime Minister and other cabinet members just made it clear that Turkey must remain neutral, and now two German warships are waiting outside the port to enter the port.

"My lord, some Germans want to see you. Let them in?" The voice of the Secretary-General came.

"...Let them in." Enver thought for a while and decided to listen to what the Germans wanted to say.

Three tall Germans came in, and one of them was wearing a strict navy uniform, buttoned all the way to the top of the collar. It was clearly a cold silhouette, but there was a little softness in the lake blue eyes.He seemed to have just left a place full of water vapor, and even the golden hair was still covered with water mist.The young man was clearly the leader of the three, and in fact he was.

----

Qiao Mu stood still in front of the Minister of Defense, and the two military advisers were silent behind him, but their expressions were complete obedience.

"Mr. Enver, as you can see, two warships of our country are waiting to enter the port at Haikou. We need your approval." Qiao Mu cut to the chase.

"Sir, although he is now in charge of the defense of the Straits, this matter must be discussed with the Prime Minister."

"Our warships are waiting, and so are the Strait Fortresses. Please answer immediately, whether to enter or to fire." Qiao Mu ignored his "Tai Chi" with a tough and direct attitude.

This time Enver pondered for a few minutes, and suddenly said, "Let the fortress let them in."

Qiao Mu immediately asked, "If the British warships follow into the strait, will the fortress open fire on the British?"

"This must be discussed with the cabinet, I cannot make the decision."

Qiao Mu didn’t like this, he was a monarch who was clear about this, and immediately said, “You know, the British are still chasing us, if you don’t give clear instructions to the artillery of the fortress, it will be very dangerous .”

Seeing Enver's expression of hesitation, Qiao Mu knew that the opportunity had come, and said more vigorously: "Do you want to open fire on the British? You know, we received a telegram from Berlin yesterday saying 'Turkey and Germany are officially in an alliance'. Help the allies Getting out of danger should be beneficial and harmless."

After a longer period of silence, Enver Pasha finally made up his mind, "Yes!"

"Your choice is correct and wise." Qiao Mu gave a military salute to Enver.

------

"Notify the 'Goben' to prepare to enter the port." Leaving Enver's mansion, Qiao Mu said to the signalman who had been waiting for a long time.

"Yes!"

That night, the two German ships sailed into the strait under the guidance of the Turkish destroyer, and drove directly to the Golden Horn near Istanbul to anchor.Qiao Mu watched this scene from a distance from the fortress bunker, and he knew that from this moment on, the Turkish government, royal palace, capital, cabinet members and their families, as well as His Majesty the Ottoman Sultan and the Caliph of all Muslims, were in the "Goben "Under the "guardianship" of the 11-inch cannon on the ship.

----------

"Carl." Weber, who hadn't spoken to him since that night, stopped Qiao Mu on his way to the cafeteria.

"Weber." Qiao Mu nodded, showing just the right amount of doubt.

"Are you leaving the Goeben?"

"Yes." Qiao Mu was not surprised that Weber knew about it.Although the transfer order has not yet come down, it is still no problem to inquire about the transfer of a captain based on Weber's family. "Admiral Meng Zuxiong loves me very much. I have been promoted to lieutenant colonel. I will soon be transferred to the U-68 submarine as the captain."

"..." Qiao Mu knew that he was going to leave Weber, but he knew it. It was another matter to really listen to him. "Congratulations."

Qiao Mu didn't mind that there was no congratulatory element in his words, so he shrugged his shoulders and took it for granted.After all, I don't know when the next meeting will be.

The handsome and tall young man frowned and looked at his former close friend, and when he was swept by the other's indifferent eyes, he suddenly felt like a knife was piercing his heart.I was worried about him, afraid that he would offend people because of his excessive sharpness, and would use the power of the family to escort him, put his brother into a safe rear army, and secretly arranged work for his father, and for this reason, he had a stalemate with the family.He didn't ask this person to appreciate him, nor did he need him to force himself because of anything, he was just a little wronged.The person he misses every day, but he is too lazy to give him a look.If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask, would he have just planned to leave without saying hello?Taking a deep breath to suppress the pain in his chest, Weber ruthlessly grabbed Qiao Mu's wrist and leaned forward with his shoulders to press him against the wall on the side of the corridor.Qiao Mu was unprepared against Weber, and was thrown straight at him, with a cold wall behind him, and a full fit with the other party in front of him, limbs intertwined, and breaths heard.

"What are you doing... um..." The mouth was blocked, and the soft tongue penetrated into the mouth.Make a circle on the sensitive palate, and then wrap the tongue of the other party's dodging, pressing to death.

"Woooo..." The other party's tongue stuck into his throat, Qiao Mu raised his head, his slender neck formed a beautiful arc, and the saliva that was too late to swallow flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Huh...damn it!" Qiao Mu broke free from his waist, and punched the person in front of him in the abdomen with ten percent of his strength.

"I...I love you." He arched his back because of the pain, but he didn't dodge at all, and his tone was even more unyielding, "I love you, I want to kiss you, I want to enter you, I want to be hard Loving you and wanting to..." be with you.

"Shut up!" Qiao Mu punched him again, and left quickly while the other party was in a daze, "Don't let me see you again, or I will hit you every time I see you!"

"Heh..." Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the naval officer supported his body on his elbows and leaned against the corner of the corridor.Slowly close your eyelids to hide the strong and terrifying emotions in it.The desire deep in his heart was churning and clamoring, like a chained beast struggling hard, and at some point it would break free from the chain and destroy itself and that person together.
