Chapter 393: Sudden Change in Attitude

There has never been a Chinese who dared to speak to them in such a tone here.

This is already a naked threat.

Sir Greenwood's face contorted a little with anger: "I tell you solemnly, you will be punished for these words." I will lodge the most solemn protest with your government! ”

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Then a beautiful young woman of foreign came in, with a document in her hand, and handed it to Lord Greenwood.

Jazz calmed his anger a little, and signed the paper: "Lisa, no one is allowed to come in without my consent. ”

"Yes, sir."

The woman, named Lisa, left with the papers.

"Mr. Meng." Moyes finally calmed down: "We don't know Mr. Tony's situation, and we don't know if your so-called confession was said by Mr. Tony. What I can tell you is that since the war between China and Japan, the concession side has always strictly adhered to the principle of neutrality, and there will be no such situation as you say, and I don't know why Mr. Tony said that. ”

"I need you to get Tony out right now." Sir Greenwood felt that he must not give in to these Chinese, otherwise they would be even more lawless: "As for your accusations, we will make an assessment. ”

In his opinion, this is already his biggest concession.

"As I said, Mr. Tony doesn't want to come back." A smile flashed on Meng Shaoyuan's face: "Ah, maybe my tone just now was too intense, I apologize." ”

Well?

Why did the attitude change all of a sudden?

Sinclair was very strange, in his cognition, Meng Shaoyuan was definitely not the kind of person who would easily admit defeat, especially now, it seemed that he still had some upper hand.

But Meng Shaoyuan did just that: "Regarding the Tony espionage case, you can investigate it carefully, and I believe that the Ministry of Industry will definitely give a reasonable explanation." I apologize again for the trouble I have caused you, so I will take my leave first. ”

Then, he really left.

What's going on?

The imposing Lai Xingshi asked for the guilt, but before the confrontation began, he was cowardly?

Sinclair was dumbfounded.

No, no.

This is definitely not Meng Shaoyuan's character.

Sir Greenwood and David Moyes also had some inexplicability.

It seems that there should not be peace today, and this surnamed Meng will use this matter to make a big fuss to achieve his ulterior purpose.

But who would have thought that he would suddenly give up?

"I have always believed that you have to be tough on Chinese." Sir Greenwood sneered: "They are like sheep in tiger skins, and once they remove their tiger skins, they will expose their cowardly side!" ”

"Your Excellency." Moyes frowned: "Don't you think there's something wrong with that?" A person who gives up his claims without warning? Could there be some conspiracy in this? ”

"No, Mr. Moyes." Sir Greenwood is confident: "I have been in China for many years and will be stepping down next year, and you have not been in China for long, and you are likely to succeed me as the Director-General of the Ministry of Industry, so I must give you some useful advice."

This Chinese official, they will use threats to achieve their shameless ends, and what we have to do is not to back down half a step, we can use their government again and again to deal with them, this is our most powerful weapon, once we protest to their government, they will be afraid, especially at the critical moment of the war between China and Japan. ”

Well, it sounds like it is, but when Sir Greenwood once again offered to lodge a solemn protest with the National Government, the man surnamed Meng was indeed frightened.

Before, he might have just been holding on there.

Moyes is still a little worried: "But what worries me is that he seems to have very good evidence, and if it is really published, it will cause great trouble to the Ministry of Industry, and our credibility will be reduced as a result, and it will even lead to serious protests from the national government." ”

"That's Tony's own business." Sir Greenwood was of course a little worried, but he would not show it in his face: "We will flatly deny it." As for the accusations against Sir Lotus and Gonoro Tagawa, they could not come up with more sufficient evidence. ”

I hope so, I hope so.

Moyes certainly hopes that the influence of this matter will not continue to grow. You know, Sir Greenwood will step down in January next year, and his successor will largely be himself.

He wasn't happy to leave a mess to clean up for himself.

He looked at Sinclair, "Mr. Sollatus, do you know anything about this man?" Do you think he's really not going to pursue the matter, or is there something else going on? ”

"Of course I know this man." Sinclair smiled bitterly: "Please trust my judgment, Meng will never give up, if he can't achieve his goal, God knows what crazy things he will do." Sir Excellency, Mr. President, from my personal point of view, I suggest that it be better to bring him back and renegotiate a solution. ”

"Please come back? Please ask him to come back? Sir Greenwood was incredulous: "I don't quite understand what you think, Mr. Sollatus. You let us bring a Chinese back? Let him continue to swagger in front of us? No, no, I would never do such a ridiculous thing. ”

Sinclair shrugged.

Okay, okay, I've done my duty, and if something happens in the future, don't blame yourself.

You're dealing with a scoundrel now......

……

"Director Meng."

"I said Assistant Wu, you bought this new dress?" Meng Shaoyuan looked up and down: "Hey, you took ten gold bars from Xu Chengbo without my consent, did you get a kickback from it?" ”

Wu Jingyi gave him a blank look.

The brain is broken again.

However, seeing that Meng Shaoyuan's interest was good, he asked casually: "The negotiation with the Ministry of Industry and Bureau was successful?" Did they grant your request? ”

"No, they rejected it."

Well?

Wu Jingyi didn't quite understand, why was she so elated? Could this Young Master Meng have changed sex?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't care what she thought: "How are the Italians?" How much money has been looted from him? ”

"One hundred and fifty dollars."

"No, it won't." Meng Shaoyuan shouted out as soon as he heard it: "It's only so much money now?" ”

"It's only been a long time."

"Scrape, I'll see how hard he is."

Meng Shaoyuan said viciously: "By the way, Assistant Wu, you can help me do something." ”

He commanded there.

Wu Jingyi's face turned red when she heard this: "What do you want to do?" I can't do that. ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. The stakes are high. Meng Shaoyuan had no room for negotiation at all: "And the sooner the better." ”

Wu Jingyi had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

How did you make yourself such a boss?

That's too much......

"Okay, what's going on over there in the Sixing Warehouse?" Meng Shaoyuan asked seriously.

"Xie Jinyuan belongs to a battalion, 400 people, falsely claiming 800. They had already built fortifications in the four storehouses, and they were determined to defend them. The Sihang Warehouse had become an isolated island, occupied by the Japanese army to the west and north, and the public concession to the east and west, which was the only way they could retreat. ”

As soon as she mentioned the Sixing Warehouse, Wu Jingyi's face also became serious: "From about 6 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army launched a tentative attack, and the two sides launched firepower. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army attacked in a big way, and because they were worried about hitting the concession by mistake, the Japanese did not use artillery fire, which also relieved the pressure on the defenders to a large extent.

After a fierce battle of about two hours, the defenders blew up two Japanese tanks and destroyed more than 80 enemies, and the Sixing warehouse was still in the hands of our army. When the people in our concession heard the gunshots, they were all surprised and inquired one after another, but they still did not know what our defenders were. My agent, Zhao Changle, has already risked his life to enter the Sixing warehouse, responsible for communicating the voice, and waiting for the next instructions. ”

"Zhao Changle went in?" Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Let the outside agents carry out harassing attacks on the Japanese army, and indirectly give support to the Sixing warehouse." But let them pay attention to safety, and withdraw after a few shots, if they really have to face the Japanese army, we can't beat them.

Mobilize all newspapers and radio stations to publicize the news of the heroic fighting of the defenders of our Sixing warehouse, and encourage the people of the whole country to resist the war to the end. Assistant Wu, I just asked you to do that, just so that the defenders can be withdrawn smoothly in the future, although you feel a little embarrassed, but think about it, so many brothers. ”

"Director Meng, I know." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "I will do what you say." ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently.

He was powerless to change the tide of the battle, but he had the means to change the fate of some people.

A scoundrel is a scoundrel.

At least, this scoundrel himself is really doing something for the country.

"By the way, Director Dai asked you to go to him at half-past four."

"Got it." Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time: "Time is pressing, Assistant Wu, do the things I said immediately, don't delay for a moment." ”

Well, don't think about it, it should be arranged for the rest of the work.

After all, everyone knows that Shanghai will no longer be able to hold on to this level.

As soon as the words fell, the faint sound of gunfire began to come again.

Was that the beginning of a new attack by the Japanese army on the Sihang warehouse?

"Bravely kill 800 soldiers of the enemy, and resist the enemy's pride in poetry; Who pities the patriotism and tears a thousand lines, when it comes to the Japanese slaves, they are angry. ”

This was written by Regiment Commander Xie Jinyuan to motivate the soldiers.

Four-row warehouse.

Hold on, brethren, brothers are putting on a good show for you in the Public Concession!
