Sophia paused with the knife and fork in her hands, raised her head and stared straight at Bao Dezhen.
Bao Daizhen felt a little uncomfortable when his niece looked at him. He shrugged and asked, "What's the problem? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Uncle, do you want to use my name to trick Yan Yan into coming to the public concession and then secretly send someone to harm him?"
"No, don't talk nonsense. How is it possible?"
Baodaizhen denied it flatly, saying that this kind of thing cannot be admitted.
"It's best not to have that. If you really have this idea, then I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible and don't mess with him!"
"What do you mean by this?" Bao Daizhen was a little angry.
To be honest, Bao Daizhen was already very unhappy after being manipulated by the King of Hell several times. Now that his niece is talking like this, he can't help but feel a little bit off guard.
Are you my niece? The elbow turned outward?
Besides, I didn’t want to kill him, I just wanted to put him under house arrest.
Wouldn't it be better if I put him under house arrest in the concession and let him be your dog?
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind uncle." Sophia shrugged and said seriously, "Don't have any thoughts that are not conducive to the severity, otherwise it will definitely bring disaster to the public concession. The severity is far more serious than you think. Daring is crazier.”
After a pause, he continued: "This is a man who can accomplish great things."
"Bullshit, to achieve great things, isn't it just lawlessness and no rules?"
While the nephews and uncles were bickering with each other, the working secretary came in and reported that Xie Jinyuan, the leader of the Songhu Independent Group, was visiting.
"Xie Jinyuan?" Bao Daizhen's face darkened and he asked again, "Why are you here again? How many people are here in total? Are there any explosives tied to them?"
This was caused by the Songhu Independent Group.
This is also the main reason why Bao Daizhen wanted to put him under severe house arrest.
The secretary replied: "Only one person came, and he didn't bring any weapons."
Bao Daizhen breathed a sigh of relief and asked his secretary to take Xie Jinyuan to the conference room on the ninth floor.
Sophia couldn't help but said: "Uncle, it's actually not easy for Chinese people. As long as it's not too much, you should try to be satisfied."
"I know." Bao Daizhen didn't worry.
But Xie Jinyuan's request surprised Bao Daizhen.
"Borrowing the Bank of China building?" Bao Daizhen said with a frown, "I can't make the decision on this matter. You should seek the opinions of all shareholders of Bank of China."
"The shareholders of Bank of China will definitely agree." Xie Jinyuan said with a straight face, "After all, it is for the cause of the entire nation's war of resistance. Who dares to object?"
"We just hope that the public concession can give way to a passage as soon as possible."
"Let the troops of the Songhu Independent Regiment enter the Bank of China building."
"Captain Xie, I'm afraid this won't work." Bao Daizhen frowned and said, "The public concession abides by the neutrality treaty. Except for humanitarian rescue, it will never provide convenience to either of the warring parties."
"Oh, really?" Xie Jinyuan said coldly.
"Then what happened last night?"
"Why did the Japanese army appear on North XZ Road?"
"Is this what you call neutrality?"
Bao Daizhen really couldn't find a reason to shirk the blame. Then he thought about it, and it was actually useless to keep the Bank of China building, because it would be a burden to send troops to garrison it.
The key is that Bao Daizhen had long wanted to give up the narrow area north of the Suzhou River.
Because this narrow area has become a negative asset of the public concession.
Then simply hand over the Bank of China Building to the Chinese. If the Japanese make trouble, just give them the narrow area including the Kawahama Building.
But even if it were given, it would certainly not be so pleasant.
At that moment Bao Daizhen said: "Commander Xie, the Japanese have cut themselves off from civilized society, and the Japanese government has also withdrawn from the League of Nations, so there is no reason to argue with them, but you Chinese are not the same. You China is known as a country of etiquette... "
Xie Jinyuan subconsciously wanted to argue with Bao Daizhen.
But remembering the stern instructions, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Excellency, President, our Songhu Independent Regiment will send troops into the Bank of China building after dark. If the British troops have not withdrawn by then, and conflicts result, all of you will be held responsible." square."
After saying these harsh words, Xie Jinyuan stood up and left directly.
Bao Daizhen watched Xie Jinyuan leave expressionlessly. When Xie Jinyuan was no longer visible, he immediately called the British Ambassador to China Jason Xu.
This matter does not need to be discussed, but it needs to be informed.
Because the British Ambassador to China Jason Xu and Colonel Edward, the leader of the Royal Fusiliers of England, had long wanted to abandon the narrow area north of the Suzhou River.
…
On the 9th, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops from the north and south had already begun to pursue and intercept the more than 700,000 Chinese troops on the western front of Shanghai. However, the Marine Corps in Songhu had not made any movement for a whole day, and seemed to have given up on the four elements. Warehouse storming.
As for the Songhu Independent Regiment, they will naturally not launch an attack during the day.
It was getting dark, but the British troops stationed at F Bunker and the Bank of China Building showed no response. Xie Jinyuan's heart ached.
"Chief of Staff, what should we do if the British army refuses to retreat?"
"We can't really go to war with them, right?"
"Isn't it dark yet?" Yan Yan, who had just gotten up, walked to the window, picked up an orange from the fruit bowl, peeled it open and ate it.
You need to add some vitamins.
Otherwise, it is easy to get oral ulcers.
At this time, Wu Jie walked in angrily.
"Old Yan, I can't do this job anymore. I don't want to teach this literacy class anymore."
"What?" Yan Yan frowned, "Is there another thorn making trouble? Wasn't it that I taught you a lesson last time and there is a new thorn?"
Wu Jie said: "This will be a strike by a few veterans."
"Veteran?" The stern expression turned serious, "What did they say?"
Wu Jie said: "They say that we live a life of today and no tomorrow, and we can't even read a damn word, so why don't we take some time to sleep?"
Xie Jinyuan heard this and wanted to persuade Yan Yan to simply stop the literacy class.
In Xie Jinyuan's view, running literacy classes is really thankless. People are different. Some people are not born to study. You can't force Zhang Fei to embroider.
But after opening his mouth, Xie Jinyuan finally said nothing.
Because he vaguely guessed that the serious move might have another meaning. If that was the case, it would be necessary to hold literacy classes.
"Let's go!" Yan Yan didn't say much and went straight to the first floor.
The leaders of the strike and riots were several veterans of the former machine gun company.
Since the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment was merged into the Songhu Independent Regiment, the establishment of the machine gun company was abolished. Lei Xiong, the machine gun company commander who was born in the seventh period of Huangpu, was temporarily transferred to the regiment headquarters as a staff officer, and the soldiers of the machine gun company were dispersed. Joined several infantry companies.
Today it was the turn of the 6th company to go to class, and the rioters were also a few veterans who were assigned to the 6th company.
Seeing Yan Yan walking in with a straight face, several veterans lowered their heads subconsciously.
The names of people and the shadows of trees are still very prestigious in the Songhu Independent Group.
Especially the battle last night. Although the battle was fought by Yang Deyu's 2nd Battalion, everyone knew that it was the Living King of Hell who planned and directed it.
Who dares to explode such an officer as the King of Hell?
"Feel aggrieved? Angry? You are already very tired just fighting and repairing fortifications every day. You are so tired that you can fall asleep while eating. Why are you forced to come to class?"
"Speaking of suffering and tiredness, do you suffer as much as the Red Army did back then? Are you as tired as the Red Army?"
"Do you know that when the Red Army was climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands, they were so tired that they could fall asleep while walking and couldn't get up when they lay down? But even so, they still insisted on going to class. The soldiers walking in front tied a small piece to their backpacks. There is a blackboard, and the soldiers behind will read the words on the blackboard."
Hearing this, Xie Jinyuan, who followed downstairs, frowned subconsciously.
However, Xie Jinyuan still held back and did not say anything because he had no evidence.
What's more, even if Yan Yan is really a member of the Red Party, so what? Just resist Japan.
He was strict but did not care at all that what he just said might misunderstand others, and continued to teach ideological and political lessons to a few prickly veterans.
"Do you know why the Red Army is so persistent? Because they understand that knowledge is power! If an army wants to have strong combat effectiveness, it cannot be an illiterate army, but must be an army armed with cultural knowledge!"
