On November 13, 1937, the Nationalist Government issued a statement to all Shanghai compatriots:

Soldiers from all over the country, hearing the righteousness of going to the difficulty, the day is coming, they are on the front line, they have built trenches with their flesh and blood, there is no retreat, the position is reduced to ashes, the military heart is still as strong as iron and stone, the courage of the battle, and the fierceness of the death, which is enough to show the spirit of national independence and lay the foundation for the rejuvenation of China.

The Chinese army retreated to the defense line of Wufu and Chengxi.

At this point, the battle for the defense of Songhu came to an end.

The success or failure of this vigorous defense war, which lasted more than three months, brought about the successes and failures of China and Japan, and it is natural for later generations of historians to examine and verify them.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't care about this.

What he has to think about is what to do in the future.

After the Japanese side won the Battle of Shanghai, the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau, which had already adopted a policy of compromise with Japan, made even more substantial concessions to the Japanese.

On the afternoon of the 13th, the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau held a meeting and unanimously agreed to accept the resignation of Sinclair, the former police commissioner of the Ministry of Industry.

In view of Sinclair's achievements in the Shanghai Public Concession during his tenure, he was transferred to the board of directors on an exceptional basis and took up the position of director of the Donation Division.

Resign?

Sinclair kept sneering there.

It's these damn guys who are too afraid of the Japanese, so they use all kinds of despicable means to force themselves to resign.

I am not willing.

And now, Sinclair has completely recognized who is a friend and who is an enemy.

Meng Shaoyuan!

Only Meng Shaoyuan is his friend.

He let himself endure it, and promised himself that sooner or later he would let himself sit back in the position of commissioner of police.

The new police commissioner of the Shanghai Public Concession will be the Japanese Akagi pro-yuki!

……

Finally, it was appointed.

As soon as the meeting of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau ended, Meng Shaoyuan received a phone call.

It took the shortest time for Akagi to become the new Commissioner of Police.

In other words, all his previous efforts were in vain.

Japan will control all patrols in the public concession.

The actions of the military commanders have changed from being unscrupulous in the past to being difficult step by step now.

"Director Meng." When Wu Jingyi walked in, her steps were very hurried: "Akagi Qinyuki took office immediately, and he just finished handing over to Sinclair, and soon issued several orders one after another to raid and inspect several of our contact points. Weapons, radios and other equipment are immediately arrested. ”

Meng Shaoyuan said "oh": "Assistant Wu, has your husband decided to go to Hong Kong?" ”

Wu Jingyi was stunned, when has this been, Director Meng still has the leisure to ask this?

Hardened his head: "It's decided, I've also contacted Hong Kong, and I'll leave at the end of the month at the latest." ”

"Well, he still doesn't know your true identity, and that's hard enough for him." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "I also told our comrades over there that I would try my best to take care of him." ”

Wu Jingyi couldn't help it: "Director Meng, 100,000 urgent!" The most dangerous is the Yuchengdu Road, where the Hellinger watch shop is located, which is the contact point for the Japanese to focus on surveillance. ”

"Who's there?"

"Yuan Zhenbang is also our old qualified agent."

"Chengdu Road, Inspector Li is in charge, right? I dealt with him in charge of sending the wounded soldiers to the Public Concession, and this man was still good, and we didn't treat him badly. ”

Meng Shaoyuan was still careless: "Inform Yuan Zhenbang, transfer all weapons, radios, and materials, and prepare to retreat, I will personally pick him up." ”

"You're going in person?"

"Hmm." Meng Shaoyuan took a leather bag: "Assistant Wu, the group of people in the Songjiang Technical Cadre Training Class, hurry up and treat their injuries, and then reorganize them into a detachment, which is called the officer detachment, and then you are responsible for sorting out the specialties of each of them." ”

"Got it."

Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "Annoying, these Japanese are really annoying." ”

……

Chengdu Road.

Inspector Li took more than a dozen patrols and stayed outside for more than ten minutes.

"Detective, can't you get in?"

"Enter? Into what? Inspector Li glared: "What if there is a weapon in it?" You've lived enough, but I haven't lived enough. ”

"That is, what is going on?"

Squad leader Zhao Wei also said lazily: "Brothers, in the past, I didn't take the benefits of others, let's not talk about the righteousness of the nation, you just say, if you really want to end it here, will the group of people in the military command let us two go, and the benefits after the future will definitely be gone." You go talk to the Japanese and let them take the money to come out and see? ”

"Detective, there are two people who have entered, it seems that they are also from the military commander, Yuyuan Road, I have seen it before."

"Anyone?" Inspector Li looked around: "Fuck, people open shops, and guests are not allowed to enter?" What kind of military commander, this is the public concession, how can there be a military commander? Ouch, my stomach hurts, fuck, it must have been eaten bad yesterday. Lao Zhao, you help me keep an eye on it, I'll go to the thatched house, ouch, it hurts to death. ”

"Hey, Inspector...... Why are you so unsophisticated? ”

Zhao Wei was very dissatisfied: "Hey, do you know, I heard that we have a big boss's concubine and driver in Shanghai who ran away, let me tell you about it......"

In the Hellinger watch shop, there are constantly people coming in and out, and those with large bags and small bags are directly stuffed into a car.

The patrolmen listened to Zhao Wei tell the story of the concubine eloping with the driver, which was very exciting.

"Find the captain, Captain Zhao."

Yuan Zhenbang, the boss of Hellinger, came directly to these patrols with two people: "Captain Zhao, hey, it's good that you're here, our car is full, and these two brothers have no place to sit, otherwise, you can lend me two bicycles." ”

"Hey, Old Yuan, don't go too far." Zhao Wei screamed: "Fuck, we have always been the only ones who patrolled and blackmailed, and now you are good, blackmailing us?" ”

"Help, help." Yuan Zhenbang took out two cigarettes and stuffed them into Zhao Wei's hand: "Don't you need to use it in a hurry, no matter how you help." ”

Zhao Wei took the cigarette and raised his voice: "Two stolen bicycles from the Chengdu Road Arrest House...... Fuck, the pickpockets in Shanghai are so rampant that they dare to steal even the patrolling cars...... Hey, let's move on to that story......"

……

"Bastard!"

When Kenji Takagi, Akagi's assistant, arrived here and found that the group of patrolmen were actually smoking and chatting there, his anger exploded: "It's been an hour and a half since the police department issued the mission, why haven't you taken action yet?" ”

"Hey, hey, who's calling a bastard? Who are you? Zhao Wei was not satisfied.

"Bastard!" Kenji Takagi was furious: "I'm Kenji Takagi, assistant to Director Akagi, what about you Inspector Li?" Where is Inspector Lee? ”

"Here, here."

Inspector Li didn't know where it came from: "Ouch, it turned out to be the assistant of the director, it's rude, it's rude." I had a stomach upset and went to the thatched house. Hey, Mr. Takagi, your Chinese language is so good. ”

"Inspector Li, I don't need your flattery, why don't you go in and carry out the arrest operation?"

"Mr. Takagi, don't you know anything...... You smoke, ah, don't smoke? I'll light the root ...... myself," Inspector Li slowly lit a cigarette for himself:

"This is a public concession, it is about the law, you say that this is unfounded, we rush in and arrest people, in case we can't find anything, what if they sue us? You don't know how powerful those newspapers are in Shanghai. ”

Kenji Takagi was so angry that his face turned white: "We have conclusive evidence, this is a spy contact point for the Shina people, which is absolutely not allowed in the concession. I order you to go in now, and I'll take care of what happens!" ”

"Cheng, with your words, it will be done!" Inspector Li cheered up: "Zhao Wei, did you hear it, immediately rushed into Hellinger, search for me, I can't find it, Mr. Takagi is in charge!" ”

……

These damn patrols!

We must let Your Excellency Akagi put them in order.

Lazy and greedy, that's their label!

Kenji Takagi thought viciously.

"Hey, what's going on, why are there so many patrols?"

A young man carrying a briefcase stood beside Kenji Takagi.

"They...... Well, who are you. Why do you ask me? ”

"Me?" The young man pointed to himself: "I'm Meng Shaoyuan." ”

Meng ...... What the? Who are you? ”

"Hey, seeing that you're not old, why are your ears bad? I'm Meng Shaoyuan. ”

"You! I! Kenji Takagi was a little dazed.

Meng Shaoyuan?

That Meng Shaoyuan of the military commander?

He dared to appear here with a swagger, and he dared to stand by his side?

Meng Shaoyuan looked at Hellinger: "It's a very good watch shop, how can you say that you can check it?" Are you trying to catch me right now? No, this is the Public Concession. I saw the people behind me, they were all journalists. Upstairs opposite, there's a gunman aiming at your head. ”

Kenji Takagi was really today.

Akagi Qinzhi has emphasized many times that Meng Shaoyuan will be their biggest enemy for a long time to come.

But now this enemy is actually by his side......

……

"Report, nothing was found."

Zhao Wei reported loudly: "It's all some clocks and accessories and the like. ”

"What are you saying that these Japanese people are not deliberately looking for trouble?" Inspector Li shook his head again and again: "Boss Yuan, I'm bothered, I'm bothered, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

"Inspector Li walks slowly."

When Zhao Weilin went out, he spread his palms, and there were a few bullets in them, and said in a low voice: "Boss Yuan, clean up the house when you clean up in the future." I'll keep this thing for you first. ”

……

"Inspector Li, thank you."

"Boss Meng, you're welcome." Inspector Li looked into the distance: "Little Japan is gone?" ”

"Gone." Meng Shaoyuan stuffed the briefcase in his hand into Inspector Li's hand: "The money in it has been distributed to the brothers." ”

"Hey, then you're welcome." Inspector Li took the briefcase: "Boss Meng, now that the Japanese are in power, I'm afraid my brother can only help you here." ”

"I know."

Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Don't worry, it's almost there." ”

Coming soon?

What do you mean?

Inspector Li didn't understand, but he didn't ask.

The less you know about something like this, the better.
