Early the next morning, Zhou Wen, accompanied by Adjutant Wang and an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, drove to the British Embassy in China on Huju Road, Nanjing. Due to the special status of the Siamese emissary, he has been hiding in the British Embassy.
The main building of the British Legation is a three-story steel-concrete structure imitating the British classical style. Its facade is rigorous and elegant, and it looks majestic.
A secretary from the embassy who had received the news long ago was already waiting at the door. The secretary led Zhou Wen and his party to the reception room on the first floor. The living room is elegantly decorated and a flame flickers in the fireplace, bringing warmth to this spacious room.
Shortly after Zhou Wen and the others sat down on the sofa, Sir Charles, the British Minister to China, walked into the reception room with a few people.
Sir Charles is a blond old man about 50 years old, short and fat, with a beautiful crescent beard on his lips that is particularly eye-catching. But Zhou Wen focused on the two Asians behind him. Walking in front was a thin middle-aged man in his 40s. He looked capable and shrewd in a crisp suit and bright eyes. The other was a young man with slightly darker skin and prominent cheekbones.
Sir Charles was already familiar with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Adjutant Wang. However, at Zhou Wen's urging, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs introduced Zhou Wen's identity as the executive director of the Tiger Defense Company. Moreover, Zhou Wen was also wearing a suit today and did not want to reveal his identity as a soldier.
After introduction, Zhou Wen learned that this middle-aged Asian man was Chen Weiwen, the special envoy of King Rama VII of Siam.
Yes, you read that right, the special envoy of the King of Siam is a Siamese with pure Chinese blood. His parents are Chinese, and his name is also Chinese. Of course, Zhou Wen guessed that he must have a Siamese name, but this is no longer important.
The young man is Chen Weiwen's secretary, his name is Sucha Songwenlai. But Zhou Wen secretly guessed that Sucha was Chen Weiwen's bodyguard. Because he had worked as a mercenary in Southeast Asia in his previous life, he knew that "Sucha" in Siamese means an outstanding warrior. Generally speaking, this name almost always represents a person who is brave and brave.
After the two parties finished their greetings, although Sir Charles was quite polite to Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen could see a trace of disdain and confusion in his eyes. He must not quite understand why a young man from a defense company would be asked to discuss a major matter entrusted to the Republic of China government.
So as soon as the two sides sat down, Sir Charles asked the official surnamed Zhong from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "Dear Zhong, I don't understand why you brought this person from a defense company today. Is it possible that the cooperation between our three countries is with a businessman?" Does it matter?"
He spoke in English, but unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, before the official named Zhong could speak, Zhou Wen smiled and said in English: "Forgive me for being rude, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I feel it is necessary to introduce myself. "
Seeing Sir Charles's fleeting embarrassment and Chen Weiwen's slightly surprised eyes, Zhou Wen continued with a smile: "I am the leader of a mercenary group, which means that we are mercenaries who specialize in completing tasks for our clients. All kinds of inconvenient, secret, and dangerous work. You may not be very familiar with the mercenary group, but you may have heard of many of the achievements we have done."
"In the 1933 Shanghai Incident, I led my men to blow up and sink the Japanese battleship Izumo. In the Great Wall Incident last year, in the center of a heavy concentration of Japanese troops, my snipers killed the Japanese Lieutenant General's division commander and evacuated safely. . I think these two things are enough to illustrate the strength and capabilities of our mercenary group."
Before Zhou Wen finished speaking, Sir Charles and Chen Weiwen present had expressions of surprise on their faces and looked at each other in disbelief. The Siamese bodyguard named Sucha showed a hint of suspicion and kept looking up and down at Zhou Wen.
Sir Charles looked at Adjutant Wang again and saw him slightly nodding his head expressionlessly. Although Adjutant Wang's English level is not yet up to the level of free communication, he can still understand basic conversations.
Seeing him nod in recognition, Sir Charles was really surprised.
He knew the identity of Adjutant Wang. As the representative of the principal, he would definitely not lie on such a major matter involving relations between countries.
As the two largest wars in Asia in recent years, they must have attracted the attention of countries around the world. Things including the bombing of the Japanese battleship Izumo and the death of the Lieutenant General's division commander on the battlefield have long been publicized and reported in major newspapers.
At that time, military experts from various countries conducted countless deductions on this, and unanimously believed that it must not be an ordinary army that could accomplish this miracle on the battlefield. They all speculated that the Republic of China government might have established a secret army whose members were all He is an elite warrior with extraordinary combat power, and also possesses world-class equipment.
Although Sir Charles and Chen Weiwen are not soldiers, how could they, who are in high positions, not know how difficult it is to sneak into an enemy ship and blow up a warship?
Charles still remembered that when a group of admirals in the British Admiralty heard the news, they all thought it was the Chinese who were doing it. In fact, this was impossible. However, subsequent news reports and Japan's silence convinced them of this impossible task in their minds.
Now, the man who blew up the Japanese battleship is right in front of him, and he has also been confirmed by the officials of the Republic of China. How do you think the foreigners here will not be shocked and surprised?
At this time, the bodyguard named Sucha suddenly said: "Please forgive me, since Mr. Zhou was able to sneak into the Japanese warship and blow it up alone, he must be very good at Chinese Kung Fu. Of course I don't believe what Mr. Zhou said, but Regarding the safety of His Majesty the King, I would like to discuss it with Mr. Zhou, do you think it is okay?"
Chen Weiwen continued Sucha's words and said: "Sucha is the Muay Thai champion of our Siamese Army. He has beaten all the unbeatable opponents in the army. He must be able to gain Mr. Zhou's discernment."
The two Siamese cooperated tacitly and sang in harmony, which actually meant forcing Zhou Wen to take action. If Zhou Wen tried to shirk a little bit, it would appear that he was talking big words before.
Zhou Wen is not angry either. After all, hearing is false and seeing is believing. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it still needs to be taken out for a walk. Zhou Wen smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I have heard about the name of Muay Thai, and I want to see it."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Wen looked at Sir Charles.
Of course Charles wouldn't stop him. Besides, they were all men, so they were naturally very interested in this kind of competition. He stood up and said: "Okay, let's go to the lawn of the garden outside, just right for the two masters to show off their skills."
