Meng Shaoyuan knew that his current situation in Nanjing was already very dangerous.
Now that the Japanese already know that they are in Nanjing, they will definitely try their best to find them.
Every extra day you stay in Nanjing means one more day of danger.
Now that the film has been obtained, the only thing to consider is how to send the film safely.
News just came from Shanghai:
Under the mediation of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Public Concession, the military command has begun negotiations with the Japanese special agencies, preparing to end the long bloody assassination and welcome the arrival of the New Year.
However, the specific conditions are still being debated.
On the Japanese side, Nitsugi Matsumoto, Yoshio Banda, and Michio Tanishigehara were the main persons in charge of the negotiations on the Japanese side.
Meng Shaoyuan was waiting for now.
Manaiko can play her bigger role now.
Now Makoto is undoubtedly the happiest girl in the world.
No, she is no longer a girl.
But a woman.
Shao Yuanjun's woman.
Is there anything more joyful than this?
"What? You want me to go back to Shanghai first?"
But soon, Zhen Naiko was no longer happy. When she heard Meng Shaoyuan's request, she refused without thinking: "I won't leave, I want to stay in Nanjing with you."
"Listen, Makoto." Meng Shaoyuan said very sincerely: "I am willing to be with you, and be together every day. But not now, my people need me, and I need you."
And I need you!
Men and women in love most hope and like to hear this sentence.
"Shao Yuan-kun, tell me, what do you need me to do?" After hearing these words, Shinaki no longer hesitated.
"I have a box that I need you to take to Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan said in a very low voice: "There is very important information in the box. This information is related to my people and our future."
"Our future?" Makoto didn't understand at all.
"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan nodded vigorously: "Let me tell you, we have internal rules that prohibit marriage without authorization, otherwise you will be severely punished, not to mention you are Japanese..."
"But I..." Zhen Naizi became anxious all of a sudden.
"Listen to me." Meng Shaoyuan interrupted her: "But there is a way, that is, if I make a great contribution, then I can use this as a reason to ask my superiors for permission to do something between us..."
Meng Shaoyuan knew that he would be struck by lightning sooner or later.
This is full of nonsense. Would someone have the guts to deceive such a simple and kind-hearted girl like Makoto?
But for these films, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't care less.
Makoto was completely convinced.
A woman in love.
She became excited: "Shao Yuan-kun, no matter what is in that box, I will help you deliver it. I promise, for our future and happiness!"
"Thank you, Zhen Naiko." Meng Shaoyuan carefully ordered: "When you arrive in Shanghai, find an opportunity to deliver this box to No. 892 Albert Road and hand it over to a woman named Wu. Your mission will be completed."
After saying that, he stared at Makoto: "Tell me, you can do it!"
"I will do it, for Mr. Shao Yuan, and for our future!"
Meng Shaoyuan carefully observed Zhen Naiko's expression. There is no sign of lying, his eyes are firm, full of desire for the future, and unlimited trust in himself.
Well, what Manaiko told the truth, she will definitely complete the task.
Meng Shaoyuan also knew that he was a bit despicable. When Zhen Naizi treated him wholeheartedly, he was quietly observing whether she was lying.
But there is no way, we must do it.
The importance of these eight rolls of film exceeds my own life. If history changed wrongly for him, Meng Shaoyuan vowed that he would end his life with a bullet.
No, even if he is about to die, he will not be able to atone for his sins.
Meng Shaoyuan took a deep breath: "Zhen Naizi, let me tell you how to leave Shanghai and how to protect this box..."
…
Koichi Hahara likes to come to work very early. This has become his life habit.
He always believes that a person's diligence will be rewarded.
"Major Hahara, someone wants to see you."
"who?"
"A girl."
"Girl?" Han Yuanguang was stunned: "Let her come in."
When the girl walked in, Han Yuanguang suddenly showed displeasure.
Isn't it the reporter Manako who came with Shimamoto Narumi that day and made strange anti-war remarks?
Hikaru Hahara showed displeasure: "Ms. Matsumoto, what are you doing here? Are you still planning to promote your dangerous remarks?"
"No, Your Excellency Major." Today, Shinakiko was carrying a suitcase in his hand, looking pitiful: "I...I can't stand it here anymore, I want to go home."
If the people in the empire are like this, how can they conquer China?
Hanbara Koichi said coldly: "You are Japanese. If you want to leave, you can leave anytime and anywhere."
"I'm scared, Your Majesty Major, I'm really scared." Shinoko's eyes turned red again: "I don't dare to go home alone, and Mr. Rukawa who came with me said that he can't go back for the time being..."
Yes, of course Koichi Hahara knows that the so-called "Rukawa-kun" Shimamoto Narumi is completing his mission in Nanjing! This woman is just an object of his use.
"Your Majesty, Major, I would like to ask you to make a phone call to Shanghai."
"I'm sorry, we occupied Nanjing and the telephone exchange has been destroyed. Although emergency repairs have been completed, the only ones allowed to make calls to other places are military phones. You have no right to occupy military resources!"
At that time, China's telephone system was already relatively advanced.
Taking Shanghai as an example, it can already communicate with more than 40 Chinese cities, as well as many foreign cities such as Washington, Tokyo, Nagasaki, Manila, and Berlin.
In June 1937, there were 33,000 domestic long distance calls and 396 foreign calls.
With the fall of Nanjing, all telephones were turned into military supplies.
Makoto hurriedly said: "I want to call my father, he is also a soldier."
"Your father is a soldier?"
"Yes, Matsumoto Nitsugi."
"who?"
"Shanghai, Colonel Matsumoto Hitoshi."
Koichi Hahara never imagined that the girl in front of him spreading anti-war remarks was actually the daughter of Colonel Matsumoto Nitsugi, one of the "Three Imperial Tigers"!
"Are you really the daughter of Colonel Matsumoto?" Koichi Hahara was doubtful.
"Yes, you can get confirmation as soon as you call, please."
Hahara Koichi did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly picked up the phone: "If I need an outside line... help me connect to the Shanghai telephone office, the public concession telephone office... please help me transfer to the Yun Mansion... Hello, I am Nanjing... Major Hahara Koichi, Please ask for Colonel Matsumoto... Password, 379151... Mr. Colonel... Is your daughter's name Manako..."
He handed the phone to Makoto.
As soon as Shinoko got the phone, she immediately said with tears: "Dad, I am Shinoko, I am interviewing in Nanjing... It's terrible, really terrible... I want to go home, I want to come back to you By my side..."
She cried into the phone for a long time, and then handed the phone to Koichi Hahara: "Dad wants to talk to you."
"Your Majesty Colonel."
"Are you Major Koichi Hahara?"
"Yes."
"Sannako is causing trouble for you."
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty Colonel."
"Manako is too naive, but she is still a girl. I should have come in person, but I am currently dealing with those military commanders and I really can't stay away, so I would like to trouble you to send her back to Shanghai."
"Okay, Your Majesty Colonel, I will personally escort Miss Manaiko to the train station. There will be a special train in the afternoon. I will also arrange two subordinates to protect Miss Manaiko all the way to Shanghai."
"Thank you for your hard work. I hope I have the opportunity to see you in Shanghai. Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
The phone was hung up.
Koichi Hahara took a deep breath: "Miss Manaiko, it's very dangerous outside. Don't go out without permission anymore. And please don't say what you said before again. Your father is a hero of the empire. What you do is detrimental to his reputation." It will have an impact.”
"Yes, I will never leave my father's side again." Shinoko sobbed.
These girls don’t know how high the world is.
Hahara Koichi sighed inwardly...
…
Nanjing Railway Station.
"Major Hahara, why are you here in person?"
"Ishidazuo, you are on duty at the station today. This is the daughter of Colonel Nitsugi Matsumoto of Shanghai. She is going back to Shanghai. These two are escorting her. Please arrange three seats for them."
"Okay, since she is Colonel Matsumoto's daughter and you will personally escort her, there is no problem. However, according to the regulations above, all luggage carried by non-military personnel must be inspected."
"I see."
Hanehara Koichi looked at Manaiko: "Miss Manaiko, please open the box."
But Shinoko hesitated: "Open it right here?"
"Yes, that's the rule."
"I'm afraid...it's a little inconvenient."
Koichi Hahara showed a suspicious look: "Are you carrying something that you shouldn't be carrying?"
"Ah, no, no, then I'll open it."
Shinoko's face turned red for some reason. She put the suitcase on the ground and opened it carefully.
Suddenly, Koichi Hahara and Ishidazuo knew why Naiko was so hesitant and why she blushed.
In the suitcase, there are some women's products, such as women's underwear and so on...
Shi Duozuo was a little embarrassed. He flipped the command knife over symbolically, and then said, "Okay, no problem, I'll take them into the car right now."
What an amazing Shao Yuan-kun.
Zhen Naiko closed the suitcase and then generously handed it over to the agents who accompanied him to Shanghai as instructed by Mr. Shao Yuan.
"Don't be afraid, stay calm no matter what happens." This is what Shao Yuanjun said to himself.
"What a troublesome woman." Watching the train slowly leave the station, Hanbara Koichi shook his head and said: "If she were not the daughter of Colonel Matsumoto, she would not be able to survive even a day in Nanjing."
Shi Dazuo has a good relationship with him: "Hahara-kun, do you have a crush on her?"
"No, I'm not interested in women at all." Koichi Hahara said with a sneer.
