Not only did he ridicule the consul and satirize the Prime Minister, but he also threatened Britain.
This guy really dares to say it, and doesn't save Baden any face at all.
But...that's so well said, so refreshing.
Du Yuesheng's expression was a little panicked at first, because the consequences of offending the British consul were very serious. Not to mention that the Qing Gang's activities in the concession might be suppressed. If the British kicked out the refugee citizens, what would the Japanese do? Scared just thinking about it.
However, after Lin Yue finished speaking and thought about it carefully, he was convinced.
This guy is too insidious.
Speaking of which, if Baden drives the citizens out of the concession, the content of the conversation between the two and the British approach will be reported in the newspaper. Just like Lin Yue said, the Nationalist Government really wants to break the pot and retreat to the bitter cold in the west. Let Japan, Italy, and Germany connect the fronts, and the empire that never sets will end with colonies all over the world.
As long as Baden is a person who wholeheartedly safeguards British interests, it is impossible not to treat the citizens of Shanghai well.
"That's it for now. I hope Mr. Baden will take care of himself."
Leaving behind a semi-threatening word, Lin Yue left the living room directly and left.
This was very rude and very rude to an old British gentleman. However, Baden did not have the energy to be angry because Lin Yue conveyed a large amount of information during the short conversation between the two.
It is hard to imagine that a young man in his early 20s has such a big picture and long-term strategic vision.
Also, what on earth did he come for? He taught himself a lesson and left. He didn't make it clear what the specific requirements were or what he wanted the concession party to do.
What does this guy mean?
…
After coming out of the consul's residence, Lin Yue got into Du Yuesheng's car.
After a long silence, Sister Rong still couldn't hold it back. She looked back at him and said, "What on earth do you mean?"
He asked her to introduce the British consul to him. He thought he was asking for help from the 524th Regiment, but he didn't expect that this guy would get angry with Baden when he saw him, and he didn't give any specific request until he left.
Lin Yue looked at the north bank of the Suzhou River where the fighting had subsided: "Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while."
Du Yuesheng frowned and turned his head to glance at the young man sitting next to him, his expression unusually solemn.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the casino, and the two of them got out of the car. After Sister Rong said goodbye to Du Yuesheng, she took Lin Yue into the casino hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned because there was an acquaintance standing opposite - Gao Min.
"I knew you would be okay."
Sister Rong looked at her and then at Lin Yue: "You two know each other?"
"yes."
"Then let's talk. I'll go up first. Come and see me if you need anything."
"good."
Lin Yue watched her go upstairs and walked to Gao Min: "Why are you here?"
He didn't see the British guy from last night.
"Waiting for you."
"wait for me?"
Gao Min said: "I heard what Daozi said and knew you were coming to see Sister Rong tonight, so..."
"What? You think the money you won last night was too little, and you want to play some more games with me?"
She smiled and said, "Okay."
Lin Yue smiled helplessly.
Gao Min suddenly said seriously: "I'll take you to meet someone."
"who?"
"You'll know when you get there." After saying this, she grabbed Lin Yue's hand and walked out.
A sweaty middle-aged man at the Sic Bo table behind him turned around and noticed this scene, shouting at the top of his voice: "Little brother, don't leave, don't leave, come and bet."
…
Ten minutes later, Lin Yue met the person Gao Min wanted to take him to in a high-end apartment in the center of the concession.
She is also a woman, wearing a light green dress with a white mink shawl. She is sitting on a European-style sofa with her eyes squinting and smoking. She looks particularly charming.
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the person Gao Min took him to see was Miss Lu, a movie star who had two scenes in the movie. She had seen her poster on the side wall of the casino before, and she was known as the most beautiful woman in the Republic of China.
"What? Didn't you expect that?"
Judging from Lin Yue's reaction, she knew that she could save the need for self-introduction. In her opinion, the best thing about being a star is that she doesn't have to say her name to everyone.
"I really didn't expect it." Lin Yue glanced at Gao Min.
"I'm Miss Lu's assistant." She explained in a low voice, then walked to the kitchen to make tea for him.
"I heard that you are a friend of Xie Tuanfu?"
Lu Xiaodie took the cigarette away and blew out a stream of green smoke. Her slightly raised face and crossed legs gave off an elegant and feminine look.
Lin Yue walked to the sofa opposite her and sat down: "You can say that."
"Gao Min told me about you this morning. I saw the battle between the 524th Regiment and the Japanese army. I invited you here this time to ask if there are urgently needed supplies at the Sihang Warehouse. I have some friends in the Ministry of Industry Bureau who may be able to help. Busy last time."
At this time, Gao Min came over with a tea tray, placed a glass in front of Lin Yue, and whispered, "You won't blame me for talking too much, will you?"
"How could that be?" Lin Yue smiled at her, looked at Lu Xiaodie and said, "If Miss Lu has the connections, please help raise more medicines to treat trauma."
"Okay, tomorrow I will look for friends who work in the hospitals in the British and French Concessions to see if I can buy more medicines from foreigners."
"There are also clothes to keep out the cold." Lin Yue glanced at the sky outside the window: "The cold wave is coming."
Lu Xiaodie gently touched her shoulder and shawl with her hand: "Okay, I'll note it down."
Lin Yue picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea. He stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late. It's time for me to leave. Miss Lu, please rest early."
"you want……"
Lu Xiaodie got up from the sofa, and a ball of ashes fell from the cigarette butt.
"Go back there?"
She pointed north.
"I want to go over there." Lin Yue pointed to the east and lit a cigarette under her puzzled gaze: "I am a night owl and am used to working at night."
After he finished speaking, he said "goodbye" and turned to leave the living room without waiting for her to ask further questions.
"Hey, wait a minute."
After walking out of the apartment for only two steps, I heard Gao Min's shout from behind.
Lin Yue looked back and saw Gao Min chasing after him with a windbreaker.
"It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold if you do this."
After getting rid of the Japanese soldiers in the waterway and arriving at the south bank of the Suzhou River, he changed into a white shirt without a coat. Although the current temperature would not affect his health at all, considering that Gao Min also had good intentions, he did not He refused and let her help him put it on.
"Heh, just right."
Lin Yue stretched his arms and found that they didn't feel tight at all.
"What’s wrong with you?"
He found that Gao Min was slightly distracted looking at the clothes and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Could it be...are these your ex-boyfriend's clothes?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gao Min said, "These are my brother's clothes."
At the end of her words, her expression became darker and darker: "He was transferred to North China half a year ago and never came back."
When Lin Yue heard that his heart moved, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her gently, giving her a hug. He patted her on the back, said "I'm leaving," and pulled the stand collar of the windbreaker up to the middle. Walk towards Suzhou River.
"Be careful, I will do it again tomorrow..."
She wanted to say that I will go to Sister Rong's casino to wait for you tomorrow. Then she noticed the figure on the balcony of the apartment, swallowed the rest of her words, and just waved at his back.
…
Lin Yue returned to the Suzhou River, and people on the stage were singing "Jumping Pulley".
"Look ahead, it's dark."
"It must be the den of thieves."
"Wait until I catch up."
"Kill him completely."
"..."
Lin Yue crossed the stage and glanced at EVA, who was looking at the other side from the balcony on the second floor of the Victory Bar with half of her thigh exposed. The green smoke from the jade cigarette rod in her hand rose into the sky with a subtle light.
He retracted his gaze and continued to move forward, when two patrolmen holding batons walked over from the opposite side.
"Really, why are you causing trouble at a critical moment? Are you going to join the army over there? You can't even hold a gun. Why should you join the army and let the brothers from the other side be their nannies?"
"Stop complaining, you are a student. Your thoughts are too simple. You don't know how difficult the world is. Can you win a war with the Japanese with courage alone? Hey, your parents can just take him back and educate him."
"It's getting colder and colder today."
"The weather this year is a little unusual. It's only the end of October, and it feels like winter."
"Recently, the Xinyu teahouse is open all night to take care of the refugees. How about going there to have a cup of tea and keep warm?"
"good."
Lin Yue turned back and glanced at the backs of the two patrolmen, then looked to the side and in the alley ahead. There were three people in the shadows of the high wall. Although it was dark and he couldn't see their faces, he knew very well where these three guys were from --- ---In the movie, three naive boys thought they could kill the Japanese on impulse, but ended up peeing on the battlefield.
He looked at the boatman who was voluntarily collecting corpses at the water crossing, took two deep puffs of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and put it out, turned and walked into the alley, came to the young people, and spoke to them, but it was of no use. Those three people were very stubborn.
What should we do?
