"Come on, come on, come on."
"Who's here?" Sister Rong came over from the balcony.
"The surname is Lin." Daozi said as he stepped back, his arm in plaster shaking slightly, looking a little excited and a little...scared.
As he retreated, a man walked out of the stairs.
The top is a clean white shirt, and the trousers are also newly changed trousers, but his hair is wet, and his ears are still a little scarlet, which seems to be the blood that fell when he washed his face. He is holding a leather bag in his hand, and the end of the leather bag is Gun case.
Sister Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and her face, which had been tense all day, finally showed some expression.
Lin Yue walked out of the stairs and threw the things in his hands forward: "I was late. I brought some gifts to apologize to Mr. Du. If you like it, feel free to take it."
Southern Type 14 pistol.
Type 26 pistol.
…
and a Browning pistol.
Sister Rong finally understood why such a reckless guy like Daozi acted cowardly. No one who saw this scene would remain indifferent.
How many Japanese must be killed to collect this pile of pistols?
Little did she know that Lin Yue was lucky. The Japanese army's battle plan was to take advantage of the 524th Regiment's attention to the north, secretly send a group of people from the waterway, and then cooperate with the attacking troops in the south to cooperate internally and externally to defeat the four enemies. Line warehouse.
It is inconvenient to carry a Type 38 rifle along the waterway. In addition to knives, pistols, which are easy to carry and can be used at medium and close ranges, have become the first choice for raids. In an environment like a waterway, a Japanese soldier engaging in hand-to-hand combat with him would be like losing his life, and even the extra pistol issued to ensure the smooth completion of the battle became his trophy.
Du Yuesheng looked at Liu Rong, and after receiving a nod in response, he waved his hand and dismissed the follower. He took off his hat and tucked it under his armpit. He pulled out a low-security Type 94 pistol from the gun cases on the ground and kicked it into his pocket.
"Sure enough, heroes come from young." The old guy took out the hat from his armpit and put it on his head: "Let's go."
When he passed by Lin Yue, he said again, "The British will have to wait in a hurry if it's too late," and walked downstairs first.
"Keep an eye on the casino." Sister Rong told Daozi and walked outside with Lin Yue and Du Yuesheng.
Daozi looked at the pistols on the ground and didn't understand how he did it. He couldn't understand how the people in the patrol room patrolled and couldn't stop Lin Yue from crossing the river for two consecutive nights.
Of course, he would not tell the truth.
Du Yuesheng was a resolute person. From getting on the bus to getting off the bus, he did not say a meaningless polite word. The focus of the discussion was on the casualties of the 524th Regiment during the day.
Not long after they arrived at the British consul's residence, the attendants went up to explain the situation. The receptionist led them to a living room and served them coffee.
The British flag hangs in the room, and on the wall opposite the flag is a portrait of King George VI, which can be said to be graceful and elegant.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. No matter how arrogant the British are, they still have to give Du Yuesheng a little favor in order to avoid trouble in the concession.
The three of them sat down for less than a minute when they heard footsteps outside the door. A staff member opened the door, followed by Barden, the British Consul in Shanghai with a side-parted hairstyle and a suit. Since the Battle of Songhu started, in order to lead For the safety of the museum staff, he moved the office location from the Bund to the British Concession.
"Mr. Du, good evening."
"Mr. Baden."
Du Yuesheng stood up and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you at night."
After a confession, he looked at Lin Yue: "Let me introduce to you, this is Xie Jinyuan's friend from the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division stationed at Sihang Warehouse, Lin Yue."
"Hello, Mr. Lin." As a diplomat, even if he is reluctant to intervene in the dispute between China and Japan, he still needs to maintain a gentlemanly attitude.
Lin Yue shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Baden."
Baden exchanged greetings with Liu Rong and waved to several people to sit down.
"Mr. Lin, your regiment's performance today is truly a tenacious and unyielding team. I admire Captain Xie and the soldiers of the 524th Regiment very much."
"Tuan Xie added that he was very grateful to the concession for hosting our refugees. Mr. Baden was kind-hearted and a good friend of us Chinese people."
The two of them each said compliments and tested each other without leaving any trace.
"I heard others say that Mr. Lin can speak English?"
"know a little."
Lin Yuexin said that this person can do it. What happened in the casino yesterday was reported to his ears today. The British intelligence work was still very good.
"Mr. Lin is so humble."
Baden took a sip of coffee. He knew Lin Yue's purpose of coming here, but he just didn't talk about the business.
"Mr. Baden, I heard that things are not peaceful in Europe. Prime Minister Chamberlain has not been sleeping well recently."
"Mr. Lin is in China, but he didn't expect to be so concerned about the situation in Europe?"
"I am not concerned about the situation in Europe, I am concerned about the common interests of China and Britain. Appeasement without a bottom line will kill everyone."
Baden's face changed when he heard that he said this politely, but the words revealed disdain and ridicule of British foreign policy. You must know that since the expiration of the Anglo-Japanese Naval Arms Treaty in 1936, the British side has been trying to establish a new naval agreement. , constantly lowering their attitude towards Japan, what is the result? With the Japanese army's full-scale invasion of China, all the efforts made by Britain to this end fell short. As a British diplomat stationed in the Far East, he had participated in negotiations with Japan.
"The Japanese Peninsula, the three eastern provinces, North China, Shanghai, and Nanjing is behind Shanghai. If Nanjing is lost, where do you think the Japanese army will attack next?" Lin Yue said: "As early as last year, the Japanese army decided to continue to advance southward. Strategy, corresponding to it, is also a term called the ***** plan. Its military territory covers the Japanese Peninsula, mainland China, Southeast Asia, and all the way to Australia. Mr. Baden, do you think it is possible for Japan and Britain to have a harmonious relationship? What?"
"Mr. Lin, you are serious. I believe that the Chinese army will be able to curb the Japanese offensive."
"Oh, Mr. Baden, there is an old saying in China that the lips are dying and the teeth are cold. The majestic empire has Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Australia. It can be called a vast land. It needs resources and resources, technology and technology, and population. , to be so weak when facing an island country, Mr. Baden, from a personal standpoint, I want to ask you a question, are you willing?"
Baden frowned, a little dissatisfied with Lin Yue's aggressiveness. You must know that among the diplomats of the Nationalist Government, none of them would lower their stature and be respectful when they saw him. Even He Xiangning had a lot of nice and soft words when he came over in the afternoon, but this one in front of him has no status. The little guy dared to despise his motherland. If it weren't for the face of Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Youth Gang, he would have asked the guards to drive them out.
"Mr. Lin, please pay attention to your words."
"Tch, when has this happened? You still want to show your aristocratic tradition and gentlemanly demeanor. Did that old man Chamberlain teach you?" Lin Yue didn't care about the frightened expressions of Liu Rong and Du Yuesheng: "I'm not afraid to tell you, that The old guy only has a few more years to live, and he will be ousted by the British people in a very shameful way. His evaluation of Hitler's bottomless appeasement will be nailed to the pillar of shame in European history, and he will become a joke of the century. Churchill It will prove to the world that the fully mobilized British people and national army are capable of locking Hitler in the Mediterranean."
Baden was angry at first because Lin Yue was insulting the Prime Minister of the British Empire. But after hearing this, his inner anger weakened. Regardless of whether his prediction would come true, now ordinary citizens and middle-level officials are indeed Chamberlain had a lot of resentment for his weakness in foreign policy. He believed that he had indulged Hitler too much and that he should have taken precautions and provided more aid to France. However, not many people cared about the war in the Far East. After all, they were separated by a continent, the Japanese. The threat is too far away.
Seeing Baden's silence, Lin Yue continued: "If a reckless and willful young man like me were to command the Chinese army, since the equipment of the Chinese army is so different from that of the Japanese army, and I know that I can't defeat them, why not conserve my strength and go northwest Move and watch you, powerful countries, make a mess. If they had to choose between invading rich areas like East and South Asia or the cold and cold areas in the northwest, which one do you think the Japanese would choose? Once they take over Southeast Asia, they can land in India to the west. Obtain the world's breadbasket, control many South Asian islands to the south, and cut off the route from Australia to Europe. At this time, if the German army attacks North Africa and connects the three fronts of Japan, Germany, and Italy, at that time, Ambassador Baden, I want to ask you, Will your empire on which the sun never sets decline? Don't think I'm being alarmist. Since you don't support China, don't blame us Chinese for breaking the rules and abandoning the Eastern Front, so that you British people will also have a taste of being raped. * Trampled by iron hooves, reduced to the shame of being a slave to the subjugation, at that time you were the concession, you were the consul? Haha..."
"You..." Baden was stunned, because he didn't expect that the national army envoy came to his door and scolded him bloody. This was something that had never happened before and was unimaginable.
"Am I wrong?" Lin Yue said: "If you want to play politics, then we will play politics with you. Anyway, with world powers like Britain, France, and the United States at your back, even if we really go to the step of subjugation, compared to You guys, it’s not too embarrassing for us, right?”
After saying this, Lin Yue stood up: "If you want the blood of 40 million of my compatriots to be spilled on the battlefield to delay the Japanese army, you'd better show enough sincerity, otherwise..."
