Meng Shaoyuan successfully assumed the role of a messenger.

They even quietly established a telephone connection with Hang Lung.

When Meng Shaoyuan dialed the phone, one mouth was: "Boss Xu, I'm Kudo Shinichi", Xu Chengbo immediately heard that this was his boss's voice.

"Mr. Kudo, how's it going?"

When he heard Xu Chengbo answer himself like this, Meng Shaoyuan smiled in his heart, not to mention, this guy who helped him run a smuggling business in Shanghai is still quite good at acting.

"Ten thousand dollars, that's the price."

"Oh my God, that's just too much."

Akutagawa Asama offered a sky-high price of $10,000.

The long bargain began.

Akutagawa Asama does not suspect fraud at all.

That's what a real businessman does.

After several rounds of tug-of-war between the two sides, the price was finally set at $7,500.

Akutagawa Asama is very satisfied.

That's a lot of money.

Victorious on the battlefield, and now with a prisoner of war, he has managed to earn another 7,500 dollars.

This is known as fame and fortune.

"Your Excellency, General, your check."

Meng Shaoyuan took out a check and wrote the number on it: "Seven thousand five hundred dollars, look at it, Your Excellency General." ”

He touched his pocket.

It contained the blank check that Hoyce had given himself.

Earned.

When I go back, I will fill in a number on it very ungreedily:

$20,000!

Middlemen don't want to make money, right?

The agent doesn't want an intermediary fee?

Akutagawa Asama is satisfied.

He is a soldier, as long as he completes the combat mission assigned to him by his superiors and completely defeats the Chinese army.

Others?

He didn't want to overdo it.

He was a military man and an ordinary man.

He always has to think about his life and family, doesn't he?

"Kudo, get some rest with me." Asama Akutagawa put away the check: "When I confirm that this check can be exchanged, you can leave with that Qin Fuyu." Ah, before that. ”

He called in a military officer: "Oshima military Cao, please take Mr. Kudo to the prisoner of war camp, he can bring anyone he wants." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Mr. Kudo, please follow me. ”

This was the first time Meng Shaoyuan had walked into a real prisoner of war camp.

It is not accurate to say that it is a prisoner of war camp.

Surrounded by barbed wire, Japanese troops with loaded guns and ammunition constantly patrolled the vicinity. Two machine guns, erected at a high place, ready to fire.

Hundreds of Chinese soldiers were held there.

They wore a variety of military uniforms.

of the Central Army, the Gui Army, and the Northeast Army.

They sat there silently, silent.

From the moment they were captured, they knew they were finished.

No one knows when they will be free, no one knows if they will ever see their parents, wives and children again.

However, if they were given another gun now, they would have to play with little Japan as well.

Meng Shaoyuan firmly believes this.

The prisoners of war were in rags, and most of them had wounds.

Meng Shao could imagine that most of them were captured after fighting the Japanese invaders until the last moment.

Attaboy.

An officer with a lieutenant colonel's epaulette sat there straight.

Even after becoming a prisoner of war, he still did not forget his military identity.

"Mr. Officer." Meng Shaoyuan stopped in front of him: "I'm a reporter from Huari News, can you tell me your name and number?" ”

The lieutenant colonel said loudly: "Wan Haiyuan, Chinese soldiers!" ”

"Mr. Officer, I'm asking for your number." Meng Shaoyuan asked again in Chinese.

I can't help them, but at least I can let their brothers who are still fighting, and their families who are still waiting for them to come home, know that although these people have become prisoners of war, they are still alive!

Once captured, reporting one's name and number is not a mutiny, and there is no shame.

Wan Haiyuan glanced at him coldly: "Wan Haiyuan, Gui Jun, Chinese soldiers!" ”

Someone next to him soon intersected: "Fang Zhongsheng, the Central Army, the Chinese soldiers!" ”

"Ma Xiaobao, Central Army, Chinese soldiers!"

"Liu Fuqing, Northeast Army, Chinese soldiers!"

This is the most uniform answer.

"Do you hear that, reporter?" Wan Haiyuan's face showed a proud smile: "We can't beat you, we were captured, it was our lord's bad luck." But let's not tell you the number, and don't let you little devils know how many Chinese troops are coming to Shanghai. How many Chinese soldiers are playing with you! ”

"Yaga!"

Meng Shaoyuan shouted.

He looked angry, but he had to do it so that he wouldn't let his feelings out.

He has always thought that he is a very calm person who will not show his feelings under any circumstances, but in front of this group of Chinese soldiers, if possible, he even wants to shed tears and bow for them!

In this land, the warlords have been fighting for decades, even if there is a government in name, but the central army wants to eat the local miscellaneous cards, and the local miscellaneous cards are on guard against the central army everywhere.

Now, the foreign enemy has come, and all these grievances have been thrown away.

There is only one enemy in their eyes:

Japanese!

Kill yourself and die generously.

That's all!

Soon, Liu Xiang, who had fought against the government for most of his life and was regarded as a thorn in the side by the chairman, was about to command the Sichuan army to arrive in Shanghai and fight the Japanese to the end!

See, little devil, this is the Chinese soldier!

"Mr. Kudo, these Chinese captives are very stubborn." Oshima has long been surprised: "The command has repeatedly explained that the Europeans and Americans are watching, and we must behave well with the prisoners even if we act." If not, they all deserve to be put to death! ”

"Yes."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded solemnly, glared at Wan Haiyuan viciously, and left.

Brother, I have written down all your names, and I promise that I will find your troops, and I will tell your brothers and families that even if you become prisoners, you will not tarnish your title of "Chinese soldiers"!

One by one, the captives flashed in front of him.

His gaze fell to the southwest corner.

A soldier with a thin body and a military uniform that had long been unable to distinguish the color was shrunk there, his head bowed, and his eyes did not make contact with others.

Occasionally raise your head, and then quickly lower it again.

Qin Fuyu!

He is Qin Fuyu.

Meng Shao came to him and kicked him with his foot.

Qin Fuyu shrank inward in fear.

Meng Shaoyuan squatted down, saw that Oshima was a few steps behind him, and immediately whispered, "Hoyce." ”

Qin Fuyu raised his head violently, his eyes lit up.

But then he saw the "Japanese" and winked at him.

As a result, Qin Fuyu immediately returned to his cringe-inducing appearance.

"Stand up!"

Meng Shaoyuan got up and ordered loudly.

Qin Fuyu stood up tremblingly.

"Oshima Juncao, this is the person." Meng Shaoyuan said to Oshima in Japanese: "I will take this person away." Ah, rinse him up, he stinks so much. ”

Oshima erupted in a burst of unbridled laughter......

Meng Shaoyuan became more and more curious about Qin Fuyu.

This man looked unremarkable, but he spent Hawes 7,500 dollars, which was definitely a lot of money at any given time.

What is it that he is hiding?

Pharmaceuticals?

It's not, you know, how many drugs do you need to make such a big sum of money?

So what else?

Can't think of it.

Meng Shaoyuan worked hard for a long time, but he couldn't see where Qin Fuyu could be worth this price.

"Mr. Kudo."

As soon as he saw Kudo Shinichi, Asama Akutagawa was full of interest: "Your check can be cashed completely." You are a very capable person. Hey, can you find out who else wants to ransom these captives? The price is negotiable. ”

"Your Excellency, there are not many people who can come up with tens of thousands of dollars." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "Not everyone has such a big stroke like Xu Chengbo. ”

"I can give them a little bit of a discount." Asama Akutagawa smiled: "Ah, today, I invite you to dinner, but unfortunately during the war, soldiers are not allowed to drink, otherwise, I should really invite you to taste Kyoto's sake." ”

"It's been a year since I left my hometown, and I've almost forgotten the taste of Kyoto sake."

Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Your Excellency General, thank you for your kindness, however, I am a Japanese who keeps my promises, and I must return to the Public Concession with that guy as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, Mr. Kudo." Asama Akutagawa was a little regretful: "When we occupy the whole of Shanghai, I will treat you to a good drink, not drunk and homeless." ”

"Don't get drunk and don't go home, Your Excellency General!"

"Your Excellency General, Mr. Kudo." Oshima Juncao walked in: "That Shina man, we rinsed him a little, changed his clean clothes, and gave him a little food, and now he looks in good spirits." ”

"Well, then, I think I'm going to take my leave, Your Excellency."

Meng Shaoyuan bowed slightly: "I wish Your Excellency the General an invincible battle on the battlefield and prosperous martial arts." ”

"Mr. Kudo, I wish you a smooth journey, too." Asama Akutagawa was in a very good mood: "I will send someone to escort you all the way to the vicinity of the war zone, and for the rest, please pay attention to your safety, I don't want to win in the future, but I can't find you when I look for someone to drink." ”

"Kudo Shinichi" is a native of Kyoto, and his "hometown" makes Asama Akutagawa, a Kyoto man who has always regarded himself very high and very xenophobic, naturally have a sense of closeness to him.

Then, he brought himself such a large amount of income, so unconsciously, Akutagawa Asama has regarded "Kudo Shinichi" as his own.

This is exactly what Meng Shaoyuan wanted to see.

Having a major general of the Japanese army as his "friend" will be of great benefit to future operations......

Oshima Guncao escorted them all the way to the vicinity of the combat zone, and then observed the surroundings: "Mr. Kudo, I can only send you here." ”

"Thank you, Guncao Oshima, I think we'll meet again later."

"Take care!"

"Take care."

Meng Shaoyuan watched the Japanese leave, and then turned his head to Qin Fuyu.

Qin Fuyu was drenched in sweat by him.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

Then he asked:

"How about I kill you here and then find an excuse?"
