Yan Yan didn't delay any longer and immediately talked to Gu Qing.
Bao Daizhen did not dare to delay any longer and obviously sped up the pace.
Just after noon, the negotiating team headed by Jiang Siping, a Chinese director of the public concession, drove across the new garbage bridge and stopped at the gate of the cigarette shop.
After the merchant group of all nations releases it, the national army still needs to release it.
While waiting for the release of the national army, Bao Daizhen's confession came to Jiang Siping's mind again.
The bottom line of the negotiations was to allow the small Nationalist Army force remaining at the Sihang Warehouse to carry weapons through the Public Concession and the French Concession. As for whether to go to Nanshi Huajie or Shanghai West, let them choose for themselves.
If the national army refuses to give in, they will decisively take action to eliminate Jun.
Then the figure of Huang Jinrong appeared in Jiang Siping's mind.
Huang Jinrong had already given him the name and photo of the killer. The killer's name was Gu Qing. It was said that he was once a fierce general under Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Ax Gang. Jiang Siping had never heard of the name Gu Qing, but he also knew that the most powerful killers were all They are unknown people hiding in the dark, and those who are famous are mostly just a cover.
Therefore, this Gu Qing should not be a person who lives in vain.
With the existence of Gu Qing's trump card, Jiang Siping had confidence.
After a while, the door of the cigarette shop opened, and Jiang Siping walked into the door with a Chinese captain from the Wanguo Merchant Group and a martial artist who acted as a temporary bodyguard.
The opposite walls of the cigarette shop and the east building of Sihang Warehouse were opened, and two iron doors were added.
After passing through the iron gate, Jiang Siping and his party entered the first-floor hall of the east building and saw the scene that Langdale had seen before, which was the seven Japanese corpses tied to pillars.
Moreover, there was a new recruit of the national army who was practicing his courage with the corpses of Japanese soldiers. He stabbed one of the corpses with a bayonet, stabbed him twice and vomited several times. After vomiting, he stabbed again, stabbed him twice and then vomited again. Then he stabbed, anyway, he just kept vomiting and kept stabbing, and kept stabbing until it was reduced to a sieve.
He is a ruthless person, Jiang Siping thought to himself.
With his subordinates like this, one can imagine the severity.
No wonder even Chen Shunong couldn't catch his eye.
No wonder they are so harsh towards foreigners in the public concessions.
With this understanding, Jiang Siping lowered his stance even further.
After seeing Yan Yan in the lobby on the first floor of the west building, Jiang Siping also took off his hat first to greet him.
"I, Jiang Siping, have opened a law firm on Renji Road, and I am quite well-known in the legal community. If Mr. Yan needs legal assistance, you can come to see me."
"Thanks to the high regard of all walks of life in Shanghai, I was elected as one of the Chinese directors of the public board of directors at the end of last year."
"This time, I have been entrusted by General Director Sir Bao Daizhen to discuss the evacuation of your department with Mr. Yan."
After a routine opening remarks, Jiang Siping finally got to the point: "Mr. Yan, if you have any conditions for your department, you can tell me. No matter what, you and I are descendants of the Yanhuang people. I will try my best to do what I can. I will do it for the time being." If not, I will definitely try my best to fight for it from the Board of Directors."
Well, the scene is very beautiful.
I can't find anything wrong with my attitude.
As expected of a lawyer, he handles matters flawlessly.
But these are useless for severe cases.
Because of the seriousness, he doesn't play his cards according to the routine at all.
"Lawyer Jiang, let's not deal with the fluff and go straight to the real stuff."
"One last time, I'm not talking to you about retreat."
"At this point in the war, do you think we still care about our own lives?"
"What I want to talk to you about is the release of more than 300 soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment who are detained at the Riverside Building."
"In addition, all confiscated weapons, equipment and ammunition must be returned, and the public concession must publicly apologize in the name of the Public Security Bureau on the front pages of major newspapers such as Damei Evening News, Shenbao, and Ta Kung Pao."
"In addition, certain compensation must be made for the physical and mental trauma suffered by the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment."
"Of course we can discuss the specific amount of compensation, but compensation is necessary and this is not negotiable."
"This is our condition, and it is also the only condition. If the Concession Industry Bureau agrees, then it will be implemented as soon as possible. If not, then please go back. There is no need to send anyone else over from now on. We will just wait until we are both dead."
Even though Jiang Siping had the ability to speak like a lotus flower, he was stunned when he heard these words.
There is no such negotiation. What is this negotiation? This is clearly an ultimatum.
However, Jiang Siping was still a bit quick-witted. He laughed awkwardly and said: "Mr. Yan, I came here this time with great sincerity. The Public Directorate..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Yan Yan.
"Master Jiang Lu, did I not explain it clearly, or did you not understand it?"
Jiang Siping was completely unprepared now. He subconsciously took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and pretended to wipe his sweat while gesturing to Gu Qing who was standing behind Yan Yan.
When he just walked into the lobby on the first floor of the west building, he saw Gu Qing.
It was exactly the same as the photo given by Huang Jinrong. He must be the killer from the Ax Gang.
Since Yan Yan was so disrespectful, he had no other choice but to take risks and kill people.
Jiang Siping was very convinced that as long as Yan Yan died, the national army in Sihang Warehouse would be leaderless and would soon collapse.
However, no matter how Jiang Siping winked, Gu Qing, who was standing behind Yan Yan, never responded. He didn't even tilt his eyes in his direction. What was going on?
Instead, Yan Yan saw something strange about Jiang Siping.
"Lawyer Jiang, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you cramping?"
"Uh, huh? No, no, I just didn't sleep well last night."
Yan Yan suddenly stood up and said, "Lawyer Jiang, let's talk in another place."
"Oh, okay, okay." Jiang Siping was worried about not having a chance to contact Gu Qing, so he nodded immediately, "Then let's talk somewhere else, somewhere else."
Yan Yan smiled, turned around and left.
Jiang Siping or the public concession must be strengthened.
Jiang Siping followed Yan Yan uneasily. He tried several times to find opportunities to get close to Gu Qing, but failed. When he came to his senses, he found that he had reached the second floor of the east building.
I also saw two flat-firing cannons set up in front of the window.
The muzzles of these two guns were facing the gas storage tanks of the fireworks.
Seeing these two flat-firing cannons, Jiang Siping suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Then his premonition came true, and Yan Jun, who had been smiling just now, suddenly turned his face.
"Lawyer Jiang, since the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Concession has no sincerity, there is no need to continue talking."
"Ah, this, Mr. Yan, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Siping felt panicked.
Yan Yan shouted to an officer guarding the window: "Zhou Dafa, are you ready?"
Zhou Dafa, who had been promoted to the cannon platoon leader, stood at attention and said proudly: "Report to the chief of staff, the two flat-firing cannons of the cannon platoon are ready. Please give instructions."
Yan Yan glanced at Jiang Siping and said coldly: "Let's fire!"
"Yes!" Zhou Dafa agreed and shouted, "Every gun, load it!"
The artillerymen who had been squatting in front of the gun position immediately opened the gun chamber and loaded the shells into the gun chamber.
Seeing the artillerymen operating there, Jiang Siping was completely panicked. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Yan Yan away and said, "Mr. Yan, you can't fire. No, you can't fire. Once you fire, it will be all over!"
It was impossible for Jiang Siping not to panic, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the fire factory.
If two shells hit it, what's the point? This is incredible!
He said sternly but coldly: "The British Miguo keeps saying that it is China's friendly neighbor, saying that it sympathizes with China and supports us in the war of resistance, but in fact, it unreasonably detains more than 300 brothers from the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment. Since They are so unreasonable, so why should we keep the concession controlled by them?"
"No, that's not the case, Mr. Yan, that's not the way it is said."
"There is a misunderstanding here, there must be a misunderstanding, and there are millions of compatriots in the concession."
However, the artillery of those two squads was not affected at all and was quickly prepared.
Then with Zhou Dafa's order, the two gunners pulled the fuse without hesitation.
Immediately there were two blasts of cannon, and the two shells flew towards the fire factory opposite with a scream.
It’s over! Jiang Siping immediately fell to the ground, his mind went blank, it was all over now.
Gas is very easy to explode. If it is hit by a shell, it will definitely explode. Once the gas tank in the fireworks plant explodes, once the 500,000 cubic meters of gas explodes, the entire concession will be razed to the ground in an instant.
