Chapter 41: The Ball of All Nations (Three Watches, Asking for Recommendations)

When he returned to the room, Yuan Yichang had already sent all the weapons.

Flower traps, shell guns, Browning, and a dozen Mills grenades.

In particular, the flower mechanism is actually the general name of the German-made MP18 and MP28 submachine guns in China. The Sichuan army called it "flea cage", and the Guangdong army called it "pig cage machine".

What Yuan Yichang provided was not an imitation of the Jinling Arsenal or the Shanghai Arsenal, but an MP28 produced from the original factory of Berkeman.

All of these were smuggled into China by arms smuggled by international foreign companies.

In order to ensure that the public concession would not be able to grab a handle from weapons and ammunition in the future, the colleagues of the Shanghai station specially purchased a batch from the International Foreign Bank.

Each flower trap is equipped with a leather six-bag magazine set, carrying six magazines of thirty-two rounds each.

Once in close combat, this is definitely a lethal weapon with devastating power.

For this assassination, Shanghai Station has invested a lot of money.

Yuan Yichang didn't ask about their plans, since they were all transferred from Nanjing, then he only needed to do a good job of logistics.

At night in Shanghai, it was singing and dancing, drunk and golden.

Meng Shaoyuan asked Mu Dekai and them to accompany Zhu Yanni to see the night of Shanghai.

You must know that although Nanjing is the capital and has gone through a golden decade of development, there is still a big gap compared with Shanghai.

It's rare to come to Shanghai on a business trip, how can you have a good time?

Tian Qi didn't go, and locked himself in the room alone.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't go, but picked up the submachine gun and studied it over and over again.

The use of weapons has always been his weakness, and he has to make up for it.

Unfortunately, there is no place around here for him to test his gun.

After playing there for a while, he couldn't shoot in person, and Meng Shaoyuan was a little bored.

Thinking of the newspaper he bought during the day, Meng Shaoyuan found it.

The newspapers of the Republic of China mainly publish international news, and there is very little domestic news, but this "News Daily" devotes almost an entire page to reporting on the Chinese athletes who participated in the Berlin Olympic Games, which is also rare.

This time, the Chinese Olympic delegation has football teams, basketball teams, long jump, sprinters, and pole vaulters. There is also a martial arts performance troupe.

Among them, the most famous one is the football king Li Huitang, and the other is the assistant coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Shu Hong, a native of Zhejiang who studied in the United States and obtained a double master's degree in physical education and hygiene.

In May, the Chinese Olympic delegation set off from Shanghai and passed through Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar and India.

The team has limited funds and difficult living conditions. In order to save money, they had to take the lowest cabins, eat the cheapest meals, stay in the cheapest hotels, and even sleep on the floor.

It will not be until late July to reach Berlin.

With such a long journey, it is impossible to achieve good results, and it can only be said that it is just to win glory for the country.

After reading this news, Meng Shaoyuan sighed in his heart that the country was poor and weak, and there was no way to even guarantee the livelihood of the athletes who went out.

Just as he was about to put down the newspaper, his eyes suddenly fell on an advertisement:

"The Mighty Ball of All Nations will be held in Broadway Building on June 30, 25th of the Republic of China (May 12th of the Year of the Communist Party of China)!"

The Ball of Nations?

Meng Shaoyuan was curious and watched the advertisement carefully.

This probably means that since Western dance entered China, it has been very popular among celebrities, gentlemen and celebrities. In order to promote the friendship between China and the West, the wealthy businessmen and celebrities of Shanghai's upper class sponsored this "Universal Ball", inviting Chinese and foreign Western dance masters to participate.

Among them, there are American dancers, British dancers, Italian dancers, and so on.

Meng Shaoyuan looked ridiculous.

How can there be so many dancing kings, it is nothing more than a gimmick by the organizers.

Number 30?

That's tomorrow.

Meng Shaoyuan's heart suddenly moved, and an idea popped up.

He picked up the phone: "Hey, please help me find Manager Ge...... Hello Manager Ge, I'm Shanghai Xiaomeng. I have something to ask you for, so please come to my room. ”

Within a few minutes, Manager Ge hurriedly came to Meng Shaoyuan's room.

He is also a member of the military command and knows the importance of this mission, so Meng Shaoyuan arrived as soon as he called.

"Manager Ge, do you know this ball of all nations?" Meng Shaoyuan asked straight to the point.

"Yes, of course I do." Manager Ge quickly replied: "This is organized by Shanghai tycoon Ji Yunqing, who contacted Baohua Foreign Bank, Changlong Commercial Bank, etc., and it is nothing more than vassal elegance." Our international hotel also contributed a sum of money to sponsor it.

This time, the Universal Ball will select what Shanghai Dance King and Shanghai Dance Queen. The prize money for the first place is 10,000 oceans. ”

"What about this American, British, and Italian dancing king?"

As soon as he heard this, Manager Ge laughed: "What a foreign dance king." For example, this so-called American dance king, named Henry, is an actor in the American "Great Sky World Tour Acrobatic Troupe". Speaking of this acrobatic troupe, it is even more ridiculous, there are a total of eight people including the boss and the actors, two dogs, and one cat. ”

Meng Shaoyuan almost laughed.

Manager Ge shook his head and said, "As long as it is said that it is an acrobatic troupe from abroad, someone must go to the show." I've been to see a scantily clad man and a woman dancing two jazz dances. Let the dog read, let the cat walk the tightrope, and finally there is a magic show. This Henry is a jazz dancer who performs magic tricks part-time.

In order to make the scene more lively, Ji Yunqing specially invited him, and he didn't need a few dollars to fill the scene. You don't think he's a foreigner, but as long as he makes money, he can run faster than their dogs. Guess how much a show costs? Ten oceans. And those so-called British and Italian dancing kings, all of them. Maybe there is also an Indian Ah San who can also pretend to be the king of Indian dance. ”

Meng Shaoyuan really smiled.

This manager Ge is quite funny, and he doesn't seem to have much affection for foreigners. But he probably didn't know that Indians are very good at dancing.

I thought about it for a while: "Manager Ge, I also want to participate in this ball." ”

"Huh?"

Manager Ge was stunned.

You're here on a mission, why did you run to the prom?

Did you fancy the 10,000 oceans?

But he didn't say much, and hesitated for a while: "It's no problem if you want to participate, we are also sponsored, and I will tell them about it then." ”

"Then I'm bothering you." Meng Shaoyuan then said: "By the way, I have to trouble you to help me buy a set of clothes, the more fashionable the better." How much, I'll give you. ”

"No, no." Manager Ge said repeatedly: "As mentioned above, all your expenses in Shanghai are reimbursed. You don't care how much you spend. ”

I still don't understand what kind of dance party I am attending and what I am doing in this limelight.

Hey, it's also strange above, can it be successfully completed by sending such a young man to perform such an important task?
