On December 1, 1941, at the request of the Japanese directors, the Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry held an emergency meeting.
At the meeting, the Japanese directors were aggressive and made a large number of unreasonable demands.
In the middle of the process, Kai, the director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, became self-defeating and had a serious quarrel with the Japanese director.
Something unexpected happens.
Okamoto, the deputy director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, suddenly shot Kai Ziwei with his gun and wounded Kai Ziwei's left arm.
This is the "Ministry of Industry Shooting Incident".
The boardroom was in turmoil.
Kai Ziwei was rescued by his subordinates.
Issaku Okamoto contacted other Japanese directors and announced the reorganization of the Ministry of Industry Bureau.
A few hours later, Kay announced his resignation in anger.
Kazushi Okamoto takes over as general director on an interim basis.
Since then, the situation in which Europeans and Americans dominated the board of directors of the Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce as the general director has ended.
Subsequently, major officials including Wan Kewen, the police chief of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, resigned one after another.
The Japanese took complete control of the Ministry of Industry.
In order to prevent a more serious incident from happening, the injured Kai Ziwei, Wan Kewen and other former officials of the Ministry of Industry decided to leave on an American ship the next day.
On December 2, the American cruise ship "Oslo Long Knife", protected by the American gunboat "Wake", began to receive these evacuated officials.
And on this day, when it was just dawn, an unexpected person appeared:
Meng Shaoyuan!
He is here to send these people on their last journey.
"It's so dangerous, why are you still coming?"
Kai Ziwei and Wan Kewen did not expect that Meng Shaoyuan would appear at this time.
"You are my friends. You have helped me a lot." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Chinese people are the most emotional nation. If a friend is leaving, we will definitely come to see him off."
"Meng, you are right, Japan is a cruel and unreasonable nation." The injured Kai Ziwei said angrily: "I have never suffered such humiliation. The war between me and the Japanese has begun. ! I also wish China can finally win the war!"
"Thanks!"
The former director of the Ministry of Industry in front of him has always been an anti-Japanese person. Especially after suffering this shooting incident, he has strengthened his belief.
Although he didn't stay in the concession for long, he helped him a lot, just like Wan Kewen.
Evacuation had long been contemplated.
But when this day actually comes, it is still a little sad.
"Meng, you have to take care of yourself."
Just as Wan Kewen spoke, Meng Shaoyuan's guard Xu Lesheng came over in a hurry: "Report, half an hour ago, Japanese armored vehicles entered the concession!"
"What? This is a violation..."
As soon as Kai Ziwei opened his mouth, he remembered that he was no longer the general manager.
"Meng, we can no longer help you." Kai Ziwei smiled bitterly: "I must wish you that you can always win in the fight against the Japanese."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and glanced at the cruise ship: "Get on the ship, maybe one day we will meet again."
"May God bless you, my friend!"
The wind in December is cool.
Li Zhifeng walked to Meng Shaoyuan's side and whispered: "Japanese military police appeared near the headquarters on Albert Road."
"I see."
Meng Shaoyuan didn't seem to care at all: "What do they want? They get nothing!"
He adjusted his tie and windbreaker:
"A new war has begun!"
…
December 2, 1941, morning, 6 o'clock.
"Sir, there are a large number of Japanese military police outside."
"Oh." Yuan Jian said nonchalantly: "Has the car come in?"
"Not yet, we are gathering."
"Then let's go."
Yuan Jian glanced around: "I meant to blow up this place, but your Chief Meng said that it would be a pity to blow up such a good house. We can take it back after we win."
"Sir, the car is ready."
"Order, all personnel, evacuate immediately!"
At 6:05, Yuan Jian led all the remaining personnel to evacuate from the Shanghai District Headquarters of the Military Command Bureau!
…
At 6:30, Takeshi Okamura, captain of the Japanese military police stationed in the public concession, and Li Shiqun, the person in charge of No. 76, finally walked into No. 892 Albert Road.
This is the place they have dreamed of entering for countless years!
Shanghai District Headquarters of the Military Unification Bureau!
The office of Meng Shaoyuan, Director of the Supervision Office of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Provinces of the Military Unification Bureau!
The building was empty.
Not even a piece of paper was found.
No, that's not accurate.
Because when Takeshi Okamura and Li Shiqun walked into Meng Shaoyuan's office, they still saw a piece of paper posted on the wall.
"The game has begun!"
Meng Shaoyuan!
This was left to them by Meng Shaoyuan.
The game begins!
"Comprehensively arrest Meng Shaoyuan!"
Takeshi Okamura ripped off the paper and tore it into pieces.
Li Shiqun said nothing.
Yes, I finally got here.
But what did they get?
They got nothing!
Empty.
This means that Meng Shaoyuan started preparations for evacuation a long time ago.
This person is able to see everything in advance and then make the most perfect preparations to deal with it.
Can he be caught?
Li Shiqun suddenly realized that he was not sure at all!
…
7 o'clock.
Wu Jingyi poured a glass of milk.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in."
Ye Rong walked in: "Today's newspaper."
Wu Jingyi took the newspaper.
"Japanese Military Police Unit 76 has occupied No. 892 Albert Road."
"Yeah, I forgot one thing."
"What's up?"
Wu Jingyi sighed: "I forgot to bring a pot of flowers out of the place where I used to live."
"It's just a pot of flowers."
"Meng Shaoyuan specifically told me that neither a piece of paper nor a cup was allowed to be left behind." Wu Jingyi was a little helpless: "I spent a lot of effort to save that flower."
"Rescue?" Ye Rong didn't quite understand.
Wu Jingyi suddenly laughed: "That young master never paid attention to these flowers and plants in the past. That day, I don't know where his head was cramped. He actually peed on my pot of flowers and said fertilizing, and almost killed my flowers. Burn to death!”
Ye Rong also smiled.
Only people like the young master can do this kind of thing.
Wu Jingyi finished drinking the milk: "How is the situation outside?"
"Nothing special. It's just that I can't contact Director Meng at the moment."
"He will make trouble." Wu Jingyi said in a daze: "This man is a pig. In order to protect us, he will draw all the attention of Japan to himself. The more dangerous he is, the safer we will be." Tell me, is he a pig?"
"Yes, he is a pig head, a lustful pig head!"
Ye Rong glanced at the room.
The room was filled with weapons.
Pistols, submachine guns, light machine guns, grenades...
That pig head is always in the most dangerous place.
He will risk all dangers to protect his men!
But once this pig head is in any danger, all the agents in the entire concession will take quick action!
