"Name?"
"Nohara Shinnosuke."
"Where are you from?"
"Shandong."
"Shandong?"
When he heard that he was from the front line, the owner of Yarong Hotel was full of respect: "I heard that the fighting there was very fierce?"
"I'm very sorry, I don't have the right to disclose this."
"Ah, yes, yes, I am too talkative. You are the hero of the empire, please allow me to express my respect for you."
"This is my expat card. I vouch for Mr. Nohara."
Makoto handed over his expat ID card and a piece of paper.
As soon as he saw this piece of paper, the hotel owner's expression changed.
This is a "special status permit" issued by the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai.
After Japan occupied Shanghai, this "special status permit" began to appear.
Only a very small number of people can obtain this certificate.
This kind of permit can not only be used as a special pass to come and go freely in the public concession and Japanese-controlled areas, but can also purchase many supplies that are in short supply during the war.
And in times of emergency, you can seek help from the Japanese consulate, Japanese police station, and local Japanese trading companies.
Meng Shaoyuan has known about the existence of this "special identity permit" for a long time and has always wanted to get one, but I'm afraid it's not that easy to forge it.
Sure enough, after receiving the permit, the hotel owner immediately said politely: "Please wait a moment."
He held the permit in one hand and a list in the other, checking them carefully.
This list is also given by the consulate to the main Japanese units in Shanghai. It contains the detailed names and numbers of the persons who have obtained the licenses, as well as photos of the license holders.
This is also to prevent the emergence of counterfeiters.
Verified.
Now, the hotel owner can be sure that this Matsumoto Makoto must have a good background. Otherwise, how could he hold this license?
He handed back the permit respectfully: "If Ms. Matsumoto can vouch for Mr. Nohara, then there will be no problem."
Ah, and this Nohara Shinnosuke came from the front line, and had a special identity license holder to vouch for him, so he must have an extraordinary status.
Meng Shaoyuan felt envious in his heart. It would be great if he could have a "special status permit".
But think about it, this is absolutely impossible.
"I came to Shanghai this time on a special mission." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately, "So, I have never been to Shanghai, let alone your hotel."
"Yes, I understand."
The hotel owner can fully understand the special characteristics of this kind of special status person.
As a citizen of the Japanese Empire, I still have this awareness: "My hotel has never received a Mr. Nohara Shinnosuke... Ah, here is your room key. If you want to have a meal, we have one on the second floor. A restaurant.”
"Thanks."
…
"Shaohara-kun, why did you use Nohara Shinnosuke's name? I think Rukawa Kaede's name is really nice."
As soon as he entered the room, Shinaki asked his doubts.
Why?
Rukawa Kaede's name is used too often, so I need to change it.
As for why Nohara Shinnosuke was used?
Can I tell you that I particularly like Crayon Shin-chan, the little pervert?
"This...I chose a name at random."
"So this is ah."
Makoto looked at the time: "Then I... will go back first..."
"do not."
Meng Shaoyuan grabbed Zhen Naizi: "We haven't seen each other for such a long time. I really miss Zhen Naizi in my heart..."
Makoto's face suddenly turned red.
Meng Shaoyuan was always brave, so he picked up Zhen Naizi from the crook of his leg.
Anyway, Zhu Yanni and Cai Xuefei have both received good news, and they don't care about having another Chinese-Japanese mixed-race child.
Damn it, can Matsumoto Hitoshi become his father-in-law?
…
"Commander Zhu, this is what we prepared for you to take to Shanghai."
Kong Chuanbo and Guo Yongbiao looked attentive.
I have just received a telegram that Zhu Yanni has been relieved of all her duties, and Kong Chuanbo will be acting as her deputy. Zhu Yanni herself returns to Shanghai to report on her duties.
And someone was specially sent to Jurong to pick her up.
Counting the time, Shanghai is not far from Jurong. We can arrive either today or tomorrow.
Everyone's hearts were clear. Director Meng didn't ask Zhu Yanni to go back to report on her work. He was worried about the child in Zhu Yanni's belly and asked her to return to Shanghai to raise the fetus.
Kong Chuanbo and Guo Yongbiao put a lot of thought into it.
Free-range old hens from northern Jiangsu, freshly caught eels from the fields, freshly squeezed rapeseed oil...
Full to the brim.
It doesn't look like he went back to Shanghai to raise a baby, but he went to Shanghai to do business.
"How can I carry so many things?" Zhu Yanni frowned.
"I can bring it, I can bring it." Kong Chuanbo said quickly: "There will definitely not be anyone from Shanghai. We are here to dispatch another squad to make up and escort you all the way to Shanghai. All of them will carry short weapons."
"Let's do it." Zhu Yanni hesitated.
"Look, this is our tribute to Director Meng. Please take it back with you. Jade Bamboo Shoot Tea."
"Come on, you don't need to flatter him. I know what you are thinking." Zhu Yanni said with a smile: "Aren't you just worried that once I leave, the supplies for you will be short? Don't worry, this place is like mine. The second natal family, the Yanzi detachment, was also led by me. In the future, I will keep an eye on you for supplies."
"I wish you wisdom, Commander, and I wish you wisdom, Commander." Kong Chuanbo hesitated for a moment: "There is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Tell me, why are you so hesitant?"
Kong Chuanbo smiled apologetically and said: "I shouldn't have said this originally, but you said this is your natal family, and we are all your natal family, so even if you blame me, I have to say it.
As for Director Meng, I heard that he has a wife... Don't be angry, please listen to me... You are also a wife, and your status is the same. Director Meng will never be partial. I will take my head on this. guarantee.
But ladies are all ladies, so there is a question of who is older and who is younger. You have a lot of money and don't care about this, but we, the mother-in-law family, do. Your status in the Meng family is our face. "
"That's right, I have discussed this matter with Lao Kong." Guo Yongbiao said: "Fortunately, you have the guts to live up to your expectations. With Director Meng's flesh and blood, you will have a stronger back when you speak. Who is older and who is younger? …”
"It's done." Zhu Yanni interrupted them: "I see you are not your mother's family, you are a pair of dog-headed military advisors. If it were a peaceful time, I would definitely fight over who has the final say in the family, but now we are at war.
Director Meng has to fight the Japanese and the traitors, and is in danger every day. Should he be worried about two women fighting over who is older and who is younger when he returns home? I won't fight for this one. "
"Look, look."
Kong Chuanbo gave a thumbs up: "Otherwise, how could you be the commander? You have high awareness."
"How come Director Meng trusts Commander Zhu so much?" Guo Yongbiao exclaimed.
"Lao Kong, Commander Guo." Zhu Yanni said seriously: "Shall I ask Director Meng to transfer you to Peking?"
"Why?"
"I have a relative there, and I know a lot of people. I'll set up a stall on the overpass to talk cross talk with you."
…
Meng Shaoyuan was satisfied.
Makoto is infinitely shy.
Mr. Shao Yuan is good at everything, but he's just a little... too perverted.
"Let's go eat."
"But I... don't want to get up. I still want to sleep for a while."
"Get up, lazy boy, what time is it!"
…
There are already many guests dining in the restaurant on the second floor.
Everything that filled my ears was in Japanese.
Two Japanese police officers came up, and they found a seat to sit down as they were familiar with the place.
"Did you hear that fake Japanese yen were found again?"
"Yes, damn Chinaman."
The conversation between the two patrolmen clearly reached Meng Shaoyuan's ears.
"Furthermore, fake Japanese yen are becoming more and more realistic, making them almost difficult for ordinary people to distinguish."
"Nowadays, people are panicking. It is said that a large number of counterfeit banknotes and fake military notes have been found in front-line military pay."
"That damn Ji Yunqing did it. He has a very bad conscience."
Meng Shaoyuan ordered a pot of sake and drank it happily.
Counterfeit money?
The counterfeiter is sitting here.
"The latest battle report from the front line."
A Japanese man appeared in the restaurant: "My more than 200,000 mighty imperial iron-blooded troops have launched a full-scale offensive against Xuzhou. The imperial flag will soon fly in Xuzhou!"
"Long live! Long live!"
There was a howl of ghosts and wolves in the restaurant.
"However, I heard that the Yunnan Army has sent reinforcements to Xuzhou!"
"The Yunnan Army?" A Japanese said disdainfully: "I have been in Yunnan. It was an army with no combat effectiveness. The local people called them a head-cutting army. The locals smoked opium all year round, so of course they can't do heavy work. Physical work, fighting? What a joke! It’s even more exaggerated in the border areas where ethnic minorities gather. The local people smoked cigarettes at a very young age.
Even when the baby was sick, the mother would blow opium smoke into the child's nose. More than one-third of the men in these areas are unable to do heavy physical labor by the time they reach their thirties or forties and can only take care of their children and sweep the floors at home. Women can only do the farm work at home. How can such an army fight? "
A burst of laughter came.
fart!
Meng Shaoyuan cursed fiercely in his heart.
That was the Yunnan Army of the past, not the current Yunnan Army!
Just like the Sichuan army that came out to fight the war!
In the past, when the warlords fought in melee, the Yunnan Army fought tooth and nail for Marshal Zhang and Marshal Wang. There was no honor for them if they died in battle, and they only got a few more silver coins for winning. The officers and soldiers are just making ends meet and are not willing to fight tooth and nail. Anyone who fights to the death is stupid?
This time it is a national war, fighting for the country and the nation. Once the war of resistance fails and the country and nation perish, everyone will die together. This is completely different from the previous warlord melee.
Since the July 7th Incident broke out, the officers and soldiers of Yunnan have unanimously demanded a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders.
The most slippery veteran of the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army suddenly seemed like a different person.
Originally, most of the platoon leaders, squad leaders and some veterans of the 60th Army had experienced the test of the warlord war and had rich practical experience.
Most of the officers above the company level came from the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall and have strong combat command capabilities.
All they lack is the will to fight. Now that they have the will to fight, their combat effectiveness has naturally improved by leaps and bounds.
Soon, these Yunnan troops that you look down on will cause you a lot of trouble!
