The results of the tracking by Hans' men were consistent with the results of Tang Cheng's use of system skills to trigger in the shoe store. Hans's expression was solemn at this moment, but in Tang Cheng's view, it was a good opportunity. "Could it be that your people made an oversight? The British wouldn't be so boring and suddenly open a shoe store across the street! Is it to make extra money? I guess this is unlikely! They should have found something. It will be like this!" Tang Cheng's words made Hans's already panicky mood become even more uncontrollable. Although Hans has encountered dangers for many years in Shanghai, he has never encountered a real crisis.
Seeing Hans' expression getting worse and worse, Tang Cheng immediately continued, "Do you want me to help you kill that British man named Boris? According to the British's urine, as long as the person leading the action is gone, this This action should gradually be forgotten." Tang Cheng said that he wanted to get rid of this British man named Boris for Hans. Naturally, this cannot be taken seriously. Tang Cheng said this now, but he used a trick to add fuel to the fire. . It’s just that the situation is not completely clear yet. How could Hans agree to attack the British? He immediately glanced at Tang Cheng, and Hans shook his head.
"No, the motives of the British are not clear at the moment. If we start now, things will be in trouble." If Hans doesn't fall for it, Tang Cheng can't encourage him any more. Seeing that Hans is secretly struggling, Tang Cheng knows that Hans is not A man who was willing to suffer a loss, he took the package of things Hans had prepared in advance and left. Tang Cheng, who left the restaurant through the back door, suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have anywhere to go. He moved along the alley to the next street. After thinking about it secretly, he decided to go back to his residence first.
Edmund has connections with the Zionist Organization, but he is Hans's spy. Tang Cheng wants to know what the relationship between Edmund and Hans is. When they returned to their residence, Edmund happened to be there. Looking at Edmund's face, he looked a little tired. Tang Cheng knew that it was because he had not had a good rest. "Edmund, let's talk, shall we?" Tang Cheng called Edmund into the study room upstairs and got straight to the point.
"How are your friends from the United States thinking about it? My time is limited and I can't stay in Shanghai forever." Tang Cheng said he was asking about Edmond's friends from the United States, but he was actually talking about the Zionists. Edmund knew it well, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he was in a daze holding the coffee in his hand. About ten breaths later, Edmund seemed to suddenly come to his senses and finally spoke.
"Mr. Tang, although I don't know who you represent, I still need time. After all, this decision is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of Jews in the Far East. I need to seek the attitude of the Far East." Edmund said at the moment The speed was very slow, and every word seemed to be spoken after careful consideration. However, his reaction at this moment made Tang Cheng laugh secretly in his heart. Edmund looked like an old scholar from Dongheng who cherished his words like gold.
"Edmund, I think you have mistaken the priority of the question!" Tang Cheng took out a cigarette from the drawer and lit one. After taking a few puffs, he looked at Edmund. "Have you ever calculated the specific number of Jews currently living in Shanghai? The Jews in the Far East are certainly dangerous, but do you think the Jews in Shanghai are safe? Now that you have noticed the ambitions of the Japanese, and the future of the Jews in China, It’s dangerous. Aren’t the Jews in Shanghai in danger? I don’t believe you can’t see the current situation in Shanghai!”
How could Edmund not know what Tang Cheng said, but their current task is to contact Jewish groups in the United States, and then pave the way for hundreds of thousands of Jewish expatriates from the Far East to immigrate to the United States by lobbying the American government. As for the Jews in Shanghai, Edmund and the others believed that the situation in Shanghai would not deteriorate to the point of endangering the Jews in Shanghai. However, Edmund could not answer any of the questions that Tang Cheng had just asked.
"It seems that you have never thought about the Jews in Shanghai!" Edmund's silence at this moment was already an answer to Tang Cheng. He slowly exhaled the smoke in his mouth, and Tang Cheng asked Edmund a new question. "Edmund, have you ever thought about what you would do if the United States did not allow Jews from the Far East to immigrate to the United States? If I were you, I should carefully consider the suggestion I gave you before. If you are After the U.S. government refuses, it comes back to the National Government, and the conditions are not the same as before!"
Tangcheng's words were not forcing Edmund, and Edmund also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the Nationalist Government to unconditionally help resettle hundreds of thousands of Jews. Edmund understood what Tang Cheng was talking about at this moment, but he had no way to reply to Tang Cheng right now. "Mr. Tang, isn't there any other way?" Edmund thought over and over again, and there seemed to be no other better way than this.
"There is a way? Of course there is!" Tang Cheng smiled and pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, with a strange smile on his face. "Anyway, you still have to wait for the attitude of the Far East. Shanghai might as well make a gesture first to let the Kuomintang feel your sincerity. When you come back to discuss cooperation with the Kuomintang in the future, , at least morally, the people will accept your sympathy."
Tang Cheng used words to lure Edmund into his trap step by step, just because he wanted to use the help of Shanghai Jews in his plan to rescue the lonely camp. There are more than 300 people in the lone camp. If we only rely on Hans's strength, it will be difficult to get all these 300 people out of Shanghai safely. But if Shanghai Jews join, not to mention that the Lone Army Camp currently only has more than 300 people, even if there are 300 more people, Tangcheng can safely send them all out of Shanghai.
Edmund still didn't realize that Tang Cheng was inducing him. Edmund was very puzzled by what Tang Cheng said about showing kindness to the Nationalist Party. "Actually, this is very simple. Since I can give you suggestions on cooperation with the Kuomintang, it means that I have a background in the Kuomintang. I have an operation recently and may need some help. If you can use the help of the Jews in Shanghai After I complete this operation, in the summary of the mission after the operation, I will specifically mark the role that your Zionist Organization played in the operation."
Edmund had already guessed that Tang Cheng's identity was not simple. When he heard Tang Cheng openly say that he had a background in the Kuomintang, Edmund did not appear too surprised, but his eyes widened for a moment. "Don't worry that my actions will implicate you. I just want you to help me send some people out of Shanghai. There are merchant ships at the dock that I have contacted in advance. You just need to help me send people to the dock safely. That’s good, the whole operation probably won’t take 2 hours.”
Tang Cheng did not inform Edmund of the entire plan, and Edmund also thought at this moment that the actions mentioned by Tang Cheng were just to help quietly send away some people. "We don't have many people in Shanghai, and many of the Jews living in Shanghai don't know about our existence." Edmund did not immediately agree or reject Tangcheng, but chose to organize the restoration of the country The situation in Shanghai was informed to Tangcheng one by one.
Tang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard that he was not good at what he said. Edmund's attitude was obviously relaxed at this moment, "I don't need a lot of manpower to participate. All I want to use is your status as a foreigner and transportation such as trucks. Also There are foreign inspectors at the concession checkpoints. I know you should also be in contact with those people. I want to meet with them. I will solve the specific costs myself, but they must cooperate with my actions when the time comes." Tangcheng While speaking, he kept looking at Edmund with firm eyes.
The checkpoint on the pier is the most critical link in the entire rescue operation. If the rescued soldiers of the lone battalion cannot safely pass the checkpoint, they will not be able to board the merchant ship on the pier. Edmund's hidden identity gave Tangcheng the opportunity to solve this key link, because according to the style of Shanghai's Jewish businessmen, it was impossible for them to not have secretly established relationships with the foreign troops and senior inspectors in the concession.
Edmund said that most of the Jews in Shanghai did not know their existence. Tang Cheng did not doubt the authenticity of this statement, but he also knew that most of the people Edmund mentioned were only in the Shanghai Concession. Jewish civilians without much assets, as well as Jewish businessmen with considerable wealth, are definitely no strangers to the Zionist Organization. What Tangcheng needs to rely on is the power of the big Jewish merchants in the concession, because the goods of these big Jewish merchants entering and leaving Shanghai are generally not subject to concession patrols or military inspections.
"I need time. Not all those people are willing to obey the orders of the Restoration Organization. I can try my best to convince them, but I do need time!" Edmund was very cautious. He did not agree to Tang Cheng immediately. Instead, they chose to stabilize Tangcheng first. He needed time not all because he wanted to convince the Jewish businessmen in the concession, but because he wanted to investigate Tangcheng. After all, Tangcheng looked too young.
Tang Cheng had sensed Edmund's thoughts from Edmund's slightly twinkling eyes. However, he did not expose Edmund to his face. Instead, he nodded and said that he would wait for Edmund's good news. "Edmund, I am very much looking forward to this cooperation with your Zionist Organization. Through this cooperation, I will also make a reasonable assessment of the capabilities of your Zionist Organization. After all, when the two parties cooperate, the ability It is a key point, I think you must also hope that you will not be looked down upon."
