After experiencing the previous scenes when Japan attacked the public concession, Iger also thought that such a day would come. Although the Vichy government is a German puppet and the Japanese are allies with Germany, in comparison, Germany's interests in Europe are obviously greater than those in Asia. What's more, in China, the places occupied by Japan have surrounded various concessions in China. Especially after Japan declared war on Britain and the United States, the British and American concessions had long been taken over. How could the lonely French Concession in Shanghai last long?
So when the Japanese knocked on the door of his home, kicked out his entire family, and imprisoned them together with other French people, he was prepared, but he still couldn't accept it for a moment.
The place we lived in was not big, and a family of four were crowded into one room. The food they ate was not good, and they were not even full. Compared to my previous life, this is really a world of difference.
While eating, he kept talking about how difficult it was, and looked at Wang Yan with emotion: "Wang, my friend, thank you so much. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to return to France. These damn Japanese Monkeys are nothing."
Wang Yan sat opposite Ige and puffed out his cigarette with a smile: "Okay, just be happy and go. It's not like you didn't see those people in the public concession back then, but now your conditions are good. Although it's also concentrated Management is better than actually being captured and sent to a concentration camp, right?"
Although the French Concession was taken by the Japanese, due to the war, the shipping routes were not smooth, so the Japanese could not specially build a ship to send these people there. The French side was now too busy to take care of themselves, and it was impossible to build a special ship to take these people back. We can't let these people continue to enjoy freely, so it's like this now, having been locked up for several months.
Egg sighed and asked: "Have you heard any news? When can we leave this damn place?"
Wang Yan shook his head: "I don't know, just stay here peacefully, I won't starve to death anyway."
"I have so much money and my winery in France, but now I have to live in a shabby house and eat pig food? Wang, you still have business relations with Europe, you discuss with the Japanese For a moment, can we pay for our own money and take the boat back?"
"Ige, if you really want to go back, I can't help others, but I can send your family back. But have you really thought about it? In Shanghai, you are an outsider and will only suffer some hardships. But if you go back When you get to France, you are an insider. Our old friend, Mr. Mitchell, is not in a good situation."
Ige was silent for a long time, but he didn't stop moving, eating the good wine and food Wang Yan brought.
Wang Yan is really interesting. He comes to see Ige when he has nothing to do, and he regularly has people bring him lots of food and drinks. This is also how Ige, who has put on weight, maintained his figure. In addition, there are other high-ranking officials in the former French Concession, and Wang Yan takes care of them all.
Of course, the work was not in vain. Although many of the French's own properties were lost to the Japanese, some of them fell into his hands. Basically, he got back all the money he gave away. This is not an easy account to settle. After all, Wang Yan did cooperate with them and made a lot of money from it...
"Then forget it." After pondering for a long time, Iger finally said this timidly.
In fact, he also knew the situation in France, and he beat them pretty hard. When he returned, he had no position and was afraid of air raids even when he stayed at home. There were no corpses left in the bombs. In comparison, it's very good now. Wang Yan can occasionally send food and drink to others, and he doesn't have to participate in the war. Anyway, the Japanese didn't dare to kill them, and no one else came to kill them, so they didn't have to worry about air raids.
The reason why he always said he wanted to go back was just to talk and complain. Now that Wang Yan really wanted to send it back to him, he was unwilling to go back.
Wang Yan smiled and clapped his hands: "Congratulations, Iger, you made the right choice."
Ige ate meat and vented his anger. He asked, "Aren't you already the police chief? Why are you still so free and have time to watch my excitement?"
"Do you think Mr. von Judith was very busy before? He didn't work as seriously as you did."
"That's different. After all, it hasn't been long since I took over, and there are new rules for all matters. As the chief of the police station, shouldn't you be very busy?"
"Aige, have you been imprisoned here for so long that you have lost your mind? In the past, under you French people, I was the leader of all the Chinese prisoners. Now that you are gone from the French, I am the one who speaks the truth. I That's the rule. Wang Zhaoming's government can't control me, and the Japanese won't control me, as long as stability is ensured.
Of course, I'm just bragging. The current situation is chaotic, with all kinds of monsters and monsters coming out. It is a fool's dream to stabilize the situation. Not to mention, there were agents from the two parties fighting the Japanese to the death, and it was chaos every day. You also know that I just don’t like to interfere in those things. The Japanese put a lot of pressure on me. "
The French Concession was taken back and the Eighth District was established. The Japanese were the fathers in it, and the third grandson of Wang Puppet Government actually managed it. At the same time, Japanese personnel were stationed to monitor it.
As Wang Yan said, he is the largest Chinese in the French Concession. He controls all the Chinese prisoners, has thousands of gangsters under his command, and is also an extremely rich businessman. How could the change of the concession's rule be bypassed? Pass him.
In fact, he already knew the news when the Japanese decided to take back the French Concession. His appointment as the police chief of the Eighth District and other related matters had been arranged before.
Only he can be the police chief of District 8, no one else can. This is not a multiple choice question, but a required choice. Unless he is killed, no one can control the housing arrest situation in the original French Concession.
Iger curled his lips and said, "In Chinese terms, you just got the advantage and behaved well."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'm not really that free. Just stay well and come see you when I have time."
"Next time, someone will bring me more food. There are also instant noodles and drinks. Both my children like to eat them."
"Okay, let's go." Wang Yan stood up and patted Egger on the shoulder, leaving this concentration camp that was not a concentration camp...
I took the car back to the former French Concession Central Patrol House on Xue Lihua Road, now the Eighth District General Bureau. In fact, Xue Huali Road has also been renamed, and is now called West Changxing Road. After all, the new government has a new atmosphere. Besides, the original road names in the French Concession were all Westernized. After it came under the Wang Puppet Government, the names were changed one after another. In the future, West Changxing Road will be renamed Jianguo Middle Road, for the same reason.
After becoming the chief of the Eighth District Police Station, Wang Yan did not redeploy his office, but moved directly to the office that originally belonged to Judith. After all, as a French nobleman, Judit's level of luxury is unquestionable. The place is large enough and feels pretty good, so he continued to use this place and inherited Judit's wine cabinet filled with famous wines, as well as various crystal cup.
When he arrived at the office, Wang Yan poured three glasses of wine. After a while, Liu Yitong and He Shaohong opened the door and walked in.
As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. He Shaohong, who has been suppressed by Wang Yan for the longest time and is also the person who has followed Wang Yan for the longest time, has inherited the position with Wang Yan's promotion. This time he has reached the position of deputy director. He is also the original central patrol room and now the central police officer. The director of the district police station.
Liu Yitong, who had come to invest with power, had helped, and had been working for Wang Yan all these years, was promoted to deputy director. However, he no longer works part-time as the chief of other police stations. He simply assists Wang Yan and manages the general affairs of the general bureau. His position is half a head higher than that of He Shaohong, and he is considered the second in command.
His ability to reach this position has a lot to do with him being a member of the Red Party. Previous analysis speculated that during the operation to rescue Song Xiwen, the Red Party convened many people to pretend to fall into a trap because they could not rescue directly and had to act with Rite. At that time, Wang Yan came to him for tea once, and it was obvious that he had suffered a gunshot wound, which confirmed that he was a red party member. Wang Yan has also paid attention to it in the past few years and further confirmed this matter.
Now Wang Yan is already making plans for the future. Otherwise, without this identity, the second in command would be He Shaohong, a die-hard fan.
It is impossible for Wang Yan to just achieve his current position as the director of the Eighth District, because after defeating Japan, if he continues to switch to the Kuomintang, with his status and the power he controls, there will inevitably be a higher position arrangement, that is, City-level units. He has now promoted Liu Yitong to the position of deputy director, and he will be able to become director then. Even though he may not be able to continue to be the director in the city center position now, he must be the director at the district level. Besides, Wang Yan would not let others sideline him or weaken his rights. He must ensure that Liu Yitong remained in office. This will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to future struggles...
"Everyone sit down." Wang Yan casually ordered, and then gave each of them a glass of wine. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and looked at the two of them: "How are you, are you all used to it?"
Liu Yitong chuckled: "I'm really not used to it. You said we never thought of this day before, right?"
He Shaohong nodded and said: "I just followed the right person. In the past, when the director was the captain, I couldn't get up for several years. But since 1938, in the past five years, I have grown from a small boy The deputy captain has become the majestic deputy director today. This is really fate. It’s my turn and the director’s turn.”
"Okay, stop flattering me. Let's get down to business. How are you down there lately? Are you all doing well?"
Liu Yitong said: "It's okay. After all, we are still the same as before, and everyone below knows the rules. However, some of the original detectives failed to take the position this time, and they are a little unconvinced. These people are basically from the Youth League. Yes, I guess someone is still causing trouble."
"Du Yong? He hasn't stopped in these years. The Japanese captured Hong Kong, and this old boy went to Chongqing and became more active. But as the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Those people, It is also true that they are not satisfied with their arrangements. If they are satisfied, Du Yong, who is far away in Chongqing, will have no influence on them."
He Shaohong was aware of Wang Yan's arrangement, so he interjected: "Director, if you ask me, you should just unify the Youth League. A bunch of reckless people in the province are jumping up and down all day long, which is an eyesore."
"This is because you have not thought carefully. If you really want to deal with them, why wait until today? How can Du Yong, an old man, be so capable that I am afraid of him? If we have not unified the Youth League, we will have no way to survive. Don’t even think about it. If I win the Youth League, I won’t be able to hide this kind of thing. The Japanese are making it difficult for us to get along with the two parties, will you do it? The two parties are making it difficult for us to get along with the Japanese, will you do it? Nothing ends well.
Although the Japanese now feel like the sun is setting on the horizon, we are still living on the territory controlled by others. So, out of sight, out of mind, let them do what they want, and no one will be able to escape by then. "
Du Yong was unwilling to lose his great Qinggang foundation to Wang Yan, and he had never been honest in these years. Now the situation is somewhat clear. Japan is no longer as invincible as it used to be. The two parties can fight back and forth with the Japanese army. Various post-war arrangements have begun to be imagined. The big aspects include the peace talks between the two parties, and the small aspects include Du Yong inciting Mr. Jiang to cause trouble in Shanghai. In comparison, those people in the Youth League are just trivial and they will worry about it later.
Wang Yan waved his hand: "What about other aspects?"
"We have strengthened public security management now. We no longer only focus on the roads on the surface and ignore the alleys behind the scenes as before. Now the situation is uncertain and all parties are fighting. The brothers below have too much work at once, and it is also more dangerous. There are some complaints. As for the Japanese, our police department implements your instructions and resolutely ignores the affairs between the two parties and the Japanese. The Japanese are very dissatisfied."
"It's not like I collected the body after the beating, and it's not like I didn't go there. Why are you dissatisfied?"
"Two days ago, when the Japanese arrested the military commander, our people ran into them head-on. Not only did they not shoot to stop them, they turned around and ran away. The Japanese saw them. They have been nagging me about this matter for the past two days. They are not right. We are dissatisfied because we are dissatisfied with you."
"It's okay, brothers have done this before. Didn't Iwai Eiichi and Zhou Fohai not come to me? Don't pay attention to them, just deal with it. I'll tell you when they come to me. But in other aspects, you still have to do a good job . You don’t have to worry about gangsters even if they get into fights and are beaten to death, but you can’t bully ordinary people. Let the people take care of their livelihood and live a good life, and we will be the Buddha of all families. Of course, this is a bit big, but there are also many people working for us in the French Concession. If you protect them well and they work with care, our business will be better."
…
In the evening, Wang Yan rarely went out to eat, but returned home. Because I didn’t know what Yu Manli was having for a while, she started to study the food and was very enthusiastic about it. If nothing happens, Wang Yan will go home and have a try without going to sleep with another woman.
"How's it going? Is there any progress?"
"Do I need to tell you, whether it's delicious or not, you haven't eaten less over the years. You can't eat it yourself?" Wang Yan said with ruthless venom.
Yu Manli curled her lips and said, "With this skill, you can't say enough about it."
Wang Yan continued to eat. In fact, it tasted pretty good and was edible. He is used to enjoying it. It’s not that he can’t eat the bad food. It’s just a matter of who eats the good food and who eats the bad food. But after all, this was done by his own woman, so he should be given some face.
He didn't take the issue and instead asked, "How are you doing? Are you adapting to work recently?"
Thanks to his status as a woman, Yu Manli was hired to work in the Department of Education, which was regarded as her professional counterpart.
"Fortunately, it's not difficult."
"Then let's do it." Wang Yan nodded, "I heard that Chongqing has begun to study post-war reconstruction. If one day, I will help you find a way to break away from the military rule."
"No, this is good. I might be able to get some information from you in the future. Anyway, as long as you are here, most people won't dare to do anything to me."
Wang Yan glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing. Many people in the military system want to leave but cannot because of the so-called family rules, which are very cruel. Of course it was impossible for Yu Manli not to dislike the military commander, and she certainly had reasons to stay in the military commander. In the five years since 1938, I have been by Wang's side again, and it has been enough for him to become an activist and join the party...
