What Meng Shaoyuan was most worried about finally happened.
Similar news appeared in major newspapers in Shanghai:
Japanese samurai Koichi Hahara challenges Chinese warrior Meng Shaoyuan!
Some newspapers even published Koichi Hahara's letter of challenge verbatim.
Some Japanese newspapers used headlines like this with ulterior motives:
Warrior or Bear Warrior? Do the Chinese dare to fight?
There are also some unscrupulous tabloids run by the Chinese themselves, so as to avoid chaos in the world, they describe the causes and consequences of the challenges as if they were involved.
It actually rises to the level of national justice. To wash away the shame of the sick man of East Asia, Chinese martial arts versus Japanese karate is a battle for the dignity of the two countries.
All of Shanghai is talking about this matter.
Meng Shaoyuan's name is known to everyone in Shanghai, but Koichi Hahara?
Hahara Koichi's method was used again.
A Japanese reporter published an article introducing Koichi Hahara in detail:
Imperial young officer, lieutenant colonel (equivalent to lieutenant colonel of the Chinese Army Corps).
The most promising hero of the empire was received by His Majesty the Emperor...
In short, he is described as an omnipotent wizard with literary skills and military skills.
Hahara Koichi is not a person who likes to brag, let alone a person who likes to be in the limelight.
But he must be.
Only by packaging oneself as having an equal status with Meng Shaoyuan can one arouse the public's interest and use the power of public opinion to force Meng Shaoyuan to challenge.
It's like a strong man fighting a baby, no one will say you won.
Only a life-and-death showdown between two equally powerful boxers can arouse widespread interest.
Koichi Hahara began to gradually push Meng Shaoyuan to a dead end.
Conspiracy!
Knowing it was a trap, would you jump or not?
If you jump, you may die.
If you don't jump, you are just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has no sense of national justice!
"I'm so sorry for his grandma's ancestors!"
Meng Shaoyuan was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Hikari Hahara won, this time he really won!
Win beautifully!
A large number of talents, including the president and vice president of the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce, left.
Their purpose is nothing more than to hope that Meng Shaoyuan can rise to the challenge, defeat Little Japan in the ring, boost the ambition of our people, and strengthen our determination to fight to the end.
He also gave Meng Shaoyuan a high hat, saying that Meng Shaoyuan was the leader of the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai and was respected by all the people. As soon as Meng Shaoyuan came out, little Japan would be completely defeated, and the Shanghai people would be delighted.
All the people admire your mother and rejoice in your grandma’s encouragement!
You have all been fooled by Little Japan!
Meng Shaoyuan sat down frustrated.
He couldn't think of any solution.
"District Chief Meng, Bei Zuyi and Gu Xichen from the Central Bank are here."
Upon hearing this, Meng Shaoyuan was shocked.
Damn it, these two people are actually here too?
If it was also about fighting in the ring, then it would really be over.
These two people helped the National Government guard the Shanghai Central Bank, and their hairs were thicker than their own thighs.
What if they also come to force me to have a baby?
what to do?
"please!"
Meng Shaoyuan gritted his teeth and said.
"District Chief Meng."
"Mr. Bei, Mr. Gu."
Meng Shaoyuan stood up immediately: "Why do you have time to come here today?"
"Isn't it because of what was published in the newspaper?"
Bei Zuyi got straight to the point and said: "Japanese pirates were rampant and invaded China. Most of Shanghai fell, except for the concession island. Fortunately, District Chief Meng guarded Shanghai, so the Japanese did not dare to be rampant. Today, people overestimate their own capabilities and challenge Pantian. Tigers are only seeking humiliation for themselves. Financial professionals like us are willing to cheer for Meng Shaoyuan and increase the morale of our people!"
Gu Xichen also said: "A Japanese slave is jumping up and down. Do you really think that there is no one in China? Last time, District Chief Meng made a small plan to send my reserve silver safely out of Shanghai and to Chongqing safely. It was a miracle. Today How happy it is to beat the Japanese slaves once again on the ring. We wish District Chief Meng every success!"
Meng Shaoyuan's head was about to explode.
I still have ways to deal with the pressure from Hanbara Hikaru, but the pressure from my own people is the real helplessness.
But can you blame them?
No wonder!
They are also full of enthusiasm and hope that China will show its great power.
In their opinion, there is nothing Pantianhu Meng Shaoyuan can't do, and he is excellent in both literature and martial arts.
Coupled with the exaggeration of folk stories, he is eight feet tall and has fire-breathing eyes. Although it is not that exaggerated, it is more than enough to defeat a Japanese pirate.
Seeing that Meng Shaoyuan remained silent, Bei Zuyi became a little worried: "Is District Chief Meng unwell? Or is there some other unspeakable secret that prevents him from formally accepting the challenge yet?"
"Yes, yes." Gu Xicheng also said hurriedly: "We have reported this matter to Chongqing. I think the government also hopes that District Chief Meng can respond."
Holy shit!
Meng Shaoyuan almost cursed.
OK, the Japanese want to force me to death, so do you want to force me to death?
"Don't worry, you two." Wu Jingyi said, "District Chief Meng has decided to challenge!"
"real?"
Bei Zuyi and Gu Xichen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "The application letter has been written, and you two will see it in major newspapers tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, let me tell you how can District Mayor Meng be afraid of the clown!" Bei Zuyi was overjoyed: "When the time comes, we will definitely be there to cheer District Mayor Meng on."
Wu Jingyi nodded: "District Chief Meng needs to recharge his batteries now, so he can't accompany you two."
"That's it, that's it. Then we won't bother District Chief Meng."
"Wu Jingyi, close the door." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly.
Wu Jingyi closed the door, then turned around and said calmly:
"You can start cursing now."
He was already cursing, but when he heard this, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't curse anymore. He glanced at Wu Jingyi blankly, and then smiled bitterly:
"Are you also planning to push me to death?"
Wu Jingyi sighed softly: "Let me give you a gift list first. The Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce sent a branch of 50-year-old Changbai Mountain ginseng... The Shanghai National Salvation Alliance sent a 'national flag'...
The Shanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Guild sent a hundred bottles of strong pills... Three hundred students from the National Chiao Tung University sent a blood letter of encouragement with three bloody fingerprints on it...
There are also countless eggs, pork, and supplements, all sent by unknown citizens of Shanghai... Some people don't know where our headquarters is, so they send them to us by entrusters, and some are directly given to the special agents for them to pass on to you……"
Meng Shaoyuan didn't know what to say.
"So, when it comes to this stage, you have to fight in this arena whether you want to fight or not. The whole Shanghai is watching you." Wu Jingyi's voice was filled with helplessness:
"Ordinary people, you may still be able to deal with it, but now even Bei Zuyi and Gu Xichen have come forward, what should you do? You can't escape, and you have nowhere to escape."
"Hahara Koichi, I really won this time."
Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "I defeated him a hundred times, but this time, it was enough to drive me to death!"
