During the three defense battles, Changsha suffered countless crazy bombings from Japanese artillery fire, but it still stood firm.
However, most of the city was almost destroyed.
There are ruins and ruins everywhere.
Changsha people are still very optimistic.
If you blow it up, I'll build it again.
As long as people are still there, there is hope!
Although the conditions were not particularly good, Keyue Xinping still arranged for the best hotel in the city as much as possible.
It is not an easy task to settle so many people under the current situation.
Yue Xinping also deliberately left five soldiers behind to protect the safety of Meng Shaoyuan and his party.
Protection is real, and surveillance is real.
He was just afraid that Master Meng would cause trouble again.
Before leaving, Yue Xinping also handed Meng Shaoyuan a letter, saying that Chief Xue asked him to deliver it.
The mouth of the letter was sealed with wax.
Meng Shaoyuan opened the letter.
Inside were two telegrams.
One letter was sent directly to him by Dai Li.
I originally thought that if I killed Li Shiqun, I would be rewarded in the telegram.
Unexpectedly, Dai Li actually scolded himself in the telegram.
He said that when he arrived in Shanghai, the task was severe, but he made his own decisions and assassinated Li Shiqun regardless of the danger. Although he had some minor achievements, as a high-ranking military official, he had no regard for discipline.
Finally, let yourself return to Chongqing as soon as possible after receiving the telegram.
Meng Shaoyuan was a little surprised at first, but when he thought about it again, he immediately understood.
What, isn't it just that he is afraid of getting into trouble and is anxious to get angry and let himself go back to Chongqing?
You can just say no, why don't you have to beat around the bush?
The second telegram was sent to herself by Cai Xuefei.
The telegram was concise and concise. Mao Renfeng came to my home and brought a lot of local products. I hope you can return soon.
Meng Shaoyuan burst into laughter.
In order to get him back as soon as possible, Chongqing has taken great pains.
These people don't even think about it. If they don't want to go back, it's useless no matter how hard they force them.
"Sir, there are five in total, two on the room floor and three by the door."
Li Zhifeng walked into the room to report.
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Is there any way to get out?"
"It's a small thing."
Li Zhifeng is the guard who has been with Meng Shaoyuan for the longest time. He knows exactly what the officer is thinking.
He also had a background as a soldier. He had been a military commander with his superiors for such a long time. It would be extremely easy for him to slip away from the noses of those soldiers.
"Go ahead and be careful." Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand.
He walked out first.
"Sir."
The two soldiers outside received special instructions and immediately greeted Meng Shaoyuan when they saw him coming out.
"I'm hungry, come with me to find something to eat." Meng Shaoyuan patted his stomach.
"Okay, we'll go with you. There's a restaurant downstairs."
A soldier said immediately.
…
This hotel was previously opened by Americans.
Therefore, the facilities inside are relatively complete.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Americans sold the hotel to the Chinese.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I happened to see the American couple Cronin Baker and Stephanie Baker dining there.
"Ah, hello, sir."
As soon as they saw Meng Shaoyuan, the Bakers stood up and were enthusiastic.
This is their lifesaver.
"Mr. Baker, Mrs. Baker, please sit down."
Meng Shaoyuan also had a smile on his face: "How's it going? Are you still used to the Chinese food here?"
Originally, Meng Shaoyuan would not even look at these two Americans.
The problem is, Meng Shaoyuan is a famous snobbery.
This American couple both have family backgrounds, which will be of great help to them in the future.
What nonsense is American-style democracy? In fact, this country is darker than any other country.
Family power can even determine the direction of U.S. policy.
Is this Master Meng someone who likes to help others?
He helped you, but didn't drain you dry. He and your family name.
The Bakers thanked Meng Shaoyuan for saving his life. How could they have imagined that this smiling young man had such a sinister heart?
The three of them had a very pleasant conversation.
Every time the Bakers talked about their life-saving grace, they were always dismissed by Meng Shaoyuan in an understatement.
This also made the Bakers feel more and more humble about this Chinese man.
"Sir, we really don't know how to repay you." Cronin Baker said seriously.
"Chinese people help others and never need anything in return." The "sincerity" in Meng Shao's original words moved him even.
"No, no, repaying kindness is also the virtue of us Americans." Mr. Baker said: "I know that the Chinese people are fighting an arduous war of resistance. After returning to China, I am willing to do my best to help this kind and beautiful country. s country."
You're welcome.
Assisting China is the established national policy of the US government.
No matter how powerful your family is, it's just the icing on the cake.
What I want is far more than that.
"Thank you, Mr. Baker." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "China and the United States both have a common enemy, Japan. We are unanimous on the road to fighting the fascists.
I personally don’t need anything in return. I just hope that you can return home safely and publicize China’s arduous efforts in the Anti-Japanese War.
Of course, if it is convenient, I have a friend in the United States, maybe you can help him with something. "
"who is it?"
"Peter Lin."
Meng Shaoyuan said the name: "He is a good person, a person worth getting along with. He is now in Australia, following General MacArthur to resist the invasion.
I can honestly say that his identity is somewhat special, and you will figure it out soon after you return to China. He and I would be grateful if he could receive your care. "
Peter Lin.
Mr. Baker remembered the name firmly.
"Mr. Baker, Mrs. Baker." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "You had an unpleasant experience in China, but I hope you can understand that this was not given by us, but by those damn Japanese monkeys.
Soon, a plane will take you to Chongqing, and then depart from Chongqing to India and return to the United States. The journey may be long, but there is nothing more pleasant than returning home.
We will meet again, I promise. Have a nice day. "
"Thank you, sir, and hope to see you again soon."
Meng Shaoyuan had something to eat in the restaurant.
The two soldiers had been staring at him not far away.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
I said, Commander Xue, if I really want to get rid of him, just these two people?
When I come here this time, I really don’t intend to trick you into doing anything more.
Don't guard me like a thief all day long.
Su Junwen walked into the restaurant and whispered a few words in Meng Shaoyuan's ear.
"so fast?"
Meng Shaoyuan was a little surprised: "Let's go."
The two soldiers were really like gangrene attached to their bones. Wherever Meng Shaoyuan went, they would follow him.
After watching Meng Shaoyuan enter the room, he felt relieved.
"Sir, it's clear."
"So fast?"
"Hey, everyone in Changsha knows about this!"
