When he returned to the room, Yuan Yichang had already sent all the weapons.
Flower traps, shell guns, Brownings, and a dozen Mills grenades.
Especially the flower machine gun, which is actually the domestic collective name for the German-made MP18 and MP28 submachine guns. The Sichuan Army called it the "Pig Cage Machine" and the Guangdong Army called it the "Pig Cage Machine".
What Yuan Yichang provided was not a copy from Jinling Arsenal or Shanghai Arsenal, but an actual MP28 produced by the original factory of Berkman Company.
These are all transported to China by arms smuggling by international foreign companies.
In order to ensure that the public concession would not be able to seize weapons and ammunition in the future, colleagues at the Shanghai Station specially purchased a batch from an international company.
Each flower mechanism is equipped with a leather six-pocket magazine set, carrying six magazines, each with thirty-two rounds of ammunition.
Once in close combat, this is an absolutely destructive weapon with devastating power.
For this assassination, Shanghai Station spent a lot of money.
Yuan Yichang didn't ask about their plans. Since they had all transferred people from Nanjing, all he had to do was do the logistics.
At night in Shanghai, there is singing and dancing, and people are intoxicated.
Meng Shaoyuan asked Mu Dekai and the others to accompany Zhu Yanni to experience the night of Shanghai.
You know, although Nanjing is the capital and has experienced a golden decade of development, there is still a big gap compared with Greater Shanghai.
It’s rare to come to Shanghai for a business trip, how can I not have some fun?
Tian Qi didn't go and locked himself in the room alone.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't go either, but picked up the submachine gun and studied it over and over again.
The use of weapons has always been his weakness, and he has to make up for it.
Unfortunately, there was no place nearby for him to test the gun.
After playing there for a while, Meng Shaoyuan was a little bored without being able to shoot the gun himself.
Thinking of the newspaper he bought during the day, Meng Shaoyuan found it.
The newspapers of the Republic of China mainly published international news and very little domestic news. However, this "News" devoted almost an entire page to reporting on the Chinese athletes competing in the Berlin Olympics, which is also rare.
This time the Chinese Olympic team includes athletes from the football team, basketball team, long jump, sprint, and pole vault. There is also a martial arts performance group.
The most famous among them are Li Huitang, the basketball king, and Shu Hong, a native of Zhejiang who is an assistant coach of the Chinese men's basketball team. He studied in the United States and received a double master's degree in physical education and health.
In May, the Chinese Olympic delegation set off from Shanghai and passed through Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, and India.
The team's funds are limited and living conditions are very difficult. In order to save money, they can only take the lowest cabins, eat the cheapest meals, stay in the cheapest hotels, and even sleep on the ground.
It won't arrive in Berlin until about late July.
After such a long journey, it is impossible to achieve good results. It can only be said to be a matter of bringing glory to the country.
After Meng Shaoyuan read this news, he sighed in his heart that the country was poor and weak, and even the athletes who went on the expedition could not find a living security.
Just as I was about to put down the newspaper, my eyes suddenly fell on an advertisement:
"The grand Ball of All Nations will be held grandly at the Broadway Building on June 30, the 25th year of the Republic of China (May 12, Year Bingzi)!"
Dance of all nations?
Meng Shaoyuan was curious and read the advertisement carefully.
This probably means that since Western dance entered China, it has become extremely popular with celebrities, gentlemen and ladies. In order to promote the friendship between China and the West, wealthy businessmen and celebrities from Shanghai's upper class funded this "Universal Ball" and invited Chinese and foreign Western dance masters to participate.
Among them are American Dance King, British Dance King, Italian Dance King and so on.
Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded.
There are so many King of Dances, they are nothing more than gimmicks put on by the organizers.
The 30th?
That's tomorrow.
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly felt something in his heart, and an idea came to him.
He picked up the phone: "Hey, please help me find Manager Ge... Manager Ge, hello, I am Xiao Meng from Shanghai. I have something to ask you about. Please come to my room."
Within a few minutes, Manager Ge hurried to Meng Shaoyuan's room.
He was also a member of the military commander and knew the importance of this mission, so he arrived as soon as Meng Shaoyuan was called.
"Manager Ge, do you know about this All Nations Ball?" Meng Shaoyuan asked straight to the point.
"I know, of course I know." Manager Ge quickly replied: "This is organized by Shanghai tycoon Ji Yunqing, who contacted Baohua Foreign and Commercial Bank, Changlong Trading Company, etc. It is nothing more than arty. Our International Hotel also contributed a sum of money to sponsor .
In this World Ball, the Shanghai Dance King and Shanghai Dance Queen will be selected. The prize for first place is 10,000 oceans. "
"Where is this American, British, and Italian dance king?"
As soon as he heard this, Manager Ge laughed: "What a foreign king of dance. For example, this so-called American dance king, named Henry, is an actor in the American 'Great Changkong World Tour Acrobatic Troupe'. Speaking of this acrobatic troupe, it is even more It’s ridiculous, there are only eight people including the boss and actors, two dogs and one cat.”
Meng Shaoyuan almost laughed.
Manager Ge shook his head and said: "As long as it is a foreign acrobatic troupe, there will definitely be people to cheer for it. I have gone to see men and women wearing scantily clad clothes perform two jazz dances. Dogs can be made to read, and cats can be made to read. It's just a tightrope walk, and finally a magic show. This Henry is a jazz dancer who performs magic part-time.
In order to make the scene more lively, Ji Yunqing specially invited him here for a small amount of money, just to fill the scene. Even though he is a foreigner, as long as there is money to be made, he can run faster than their dogs. Guess how much a performance costs? Ten dollars. The same is true for the so-called dancing kings from Britain and Italy. Maybe there is an Indian Asan who can pretend to be the Indian Dance King. "
Meng Shaoyuan really laughed.
Manager Ge is very funny and doesn't seem to have much fondness for foreigners. But he may not know that Indians are very good at dancing.
I thought for a moment and said, "Manager Ge, I also want to attend this dance."
"ah?"
Manager Ge was stunned.
You were here on a mission, why did you go to the dance?
Could it be that you have taken a fancy to that ten thousand ocean?
But he didn't know what to say, so he hesitated for a while: "If you want to participate, that's no problem. We're also sponsoring it. I'll just tell them when the time comes."
"Then I'll trouble you." Meng Shaoyuan then said: "By the way, I also need to trouble you to buy me a set of clothes. The more fashionable the better. I'll give you the price."
"No, no need." Manager Ge said repeatedly: "As mentioned above, all your expenses in Shanghai will be reimbursed. You don't have to worry about how much you spend."
I still don't understand what kind of dance I'm going to, and what I'm doing in this limelight.
Hey, it's strange from above. Can such a young man be successfully completed if he is sent to perform such an important task?
