"Because I don't believe you!"

Meng Shaoyuan said casually: "I doubt that you will make any small moves against our army, so I brought my friends to the scene and personally supervised them." ”

It is entirely conceivable the embarrassment of Sir Greenwood and President Moyes.

They are the chief directors and presidents.

However, when facing Meng Shaoyuan, even if they were angry, they could only hold it in their hearts. If you have an ulterior motive in the hands of others, you will definitely swallow your anger.

Just over ten hours ago, the board of directors of the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau finally made a decision after a heated discussion:

At the same time, in the spirit of humanitarianism, it was agreed that wounded Chinese soldiers should enter the Public Concession without weapons and that the concession would provide necessary medical support.

In addition, together with the Chinese side, a "Concession Aftermath Committee" will be set up to jointly solve the problem of Chinese soldiers entering the concession.

The committee was composed of Yu Hongjun, mayor of Shanghai, and Meng Shaoyuan as the liaison officer.

Since the fall of Shanghai is imminent, Yu Hongjun is about to go to Wuhan to handle foreign affairs, so the actual person in charge of the Chinese side is Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan actually didn't want to take this position, he needed to move behind the scenes to control everything, but a phone call from Dai Li made him make a final decision:

"The retreat is imminent, no one is available, try your best to do it, do your best."

Meng Shaoyuan decided to accept the position.

He didn't trust these people at all. Even if they compromised with themselves on the surface, under the pressure of the Japanese, they would certainly set up obstacles everywhere and make things difficult for those Chinese soldiers who entered the public concession.

Among the people he invited, Madame Rose represented the Chinese side, Joy and Hoyce in the Triumvirate Alliance represented the foreign side, and Sinclair represented the concession.

Under the joint surveillance of the three parties, even if Sir Greenwood wanted to make small moves, he had to restrain himself.

Sinclair's handling is interesting.

He is the police commissioner of the public concession, and when the Chinese soldiers entered the concession, he, the police commissioner, has a great responsibility, and when he comes to the scene, no one can raise any objections.

But the problem is that he is well aware that under the continuous pressure of the Japanese, his time as police commissioner has been compensated.

I can't rely on my own people.

This is Sinclair's most intuitive feeling.

On the contrary, Meng Shaoyuan, who is Chinese, has become his staunchest ally. The hope of regaining everything that was about to be lost was all put on Meng Shaoyuan's body.

Friend, it should be like this:

When he needs help the most, you have to reach out in time. Then, when you need help, your friends will definitely stop at nothing to help you.

Sinclair bet on Meng Shaoyuan.

Around, a large number of agents began to appear, which made the British army nervous.

"What does this mean, Mr. Meng?" Sir Greenwood was a little displeased: "Are those your men?" What are you doing with all your men? ”

"It's not all mobilized, it's just a part." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "They are repairing, and when they heard that our heroic soldiers are coming, they all spontaneously want to come and see the heroes in their hearts." I can assure you that as long as our soldiers are treated fairly, they will not cause any trouble and will abide by the laws of the concession. ”

Well, the digression is that if the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse can't be treated fairly, it's hard to say what these agents will do.

That's right, threats, naked threats.

Sir Greenwood snorted, turned and walked towards the British.

"Hey, Mr. President." Meng Shaoyuan stopped Moyes, who was originally trying to follow: "Why do you always want to keep up with the British? ”

"What do you mean?" Moyes didn't understand too much.

"The Ministry of Industry has always been controlled by the British." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Now, it is finally the turn of an American to serve as the chief director, shouldn't you think more about the interests of the United States?" ”

"Nope." Moyes shrugged: "I'm not the general director yet, and this still needs to be voted." ”

"I said you are, you are." A smile appeared on Meng Shaoyuan's face: "For example, you will solve some difficult problems that others can't complete to increase your prestige." If we can become friends, you will have my full support. ”

Moyes shrugged: "Mr. Meng, your proposal is very tempting, but I don't know how to believe you. Your country has been defeated, do you think you are stronger than your government? ”

"I didn't say that." Meng Shaoyuan's words said: "You can give it a try." I know that you are about to appoint a new Commissioner of Police, but you are preparing to appoint a Japanese, which poses a great threat to us. And more importantly, I like Sinclair as a person, and I will not allow his interests to be harmed in any way. ”

Moyes really doesn't know where the young Chinese's confidence comes from.

He didn't seem to be afraid of anything at all, and he didn't look at the Ministry of Industry at all.

But Moyes was not as irritable as Sir Greenwood, and he decided to take a closer look to see if Meng Shaoyuan was really capable of doing many things that no one else could have imagined, as he himself said.

Friend?

President Moyes only makes friends with people who have power......

……

October 31, 1937, early morning.

Wu Jingyi appeared in front of Meng Shaoyuan first, she didn't say a word, just nodded at Meng Shaoyuan.

Then, behind her, a neat queue appeared.

Although their faces were full of exhaustion and unwillingness, they still maintained the strictness of the military appearance.

A huge national flag, flying high in the middle of the procession.

At the head of the team is the heroic leader of this unit:

Xie Jinyuan!

"China will not die, China will not die, you look at the national hero Commander Xie. China will not die, China will not die, you see those 800 heroes fighting alone to defend the battlefield......"

Suddenly, a deep singing voice sounded.

This is a song composed by the famous playwrights Tian Han and Chen Baichen after hearing that 800 heroes are alone in guarding the four lines, and it has swept Shanghai in the shortest possible time!

Even, on the last day of defending the Sixing warehouse, the 800 heroes of the 1st Battalion sang this song with the citizens of Shanghai across the river.

"Our integrity is strong, compatriots get up, compatriots get up and hurry up to the battlefield......"

The brothers of the 1st battalion also began to sing loudly in unison.

The singing became louder and louder, more and more passionate, and even woke up Shanghai in the early morning.

"China will not die, China will not die, China will not die......"

Meng Shaoyuan was also singing loudly.

Cai Xuefei, Wu Jingyi...... All join in the chorus!

China will not die!

……

"Head Xie, I'm Meng Shaoyuan, I've worked hard!"

Meng Shaoyuan gave a military salute to Xie Jinyuan in a dignified manner.

Meng ...... Brother. Xie Jinyuan hesitated for a moment, but still called out such a title: "Thank you for sending someone to be our guide, and thank you for sending a team to cover our retreat." ”

"What I did was nothing more than a meager achievement, and what you did was what the real Chinese should do."

Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the team behind Xie Jinyuan: "Head Xie, I have something to say to you." ”

He hesitated for a long time before he said, "Commander Xie, you need to hand over your weapons." ”

"What?" When Xie Jinyuan heard this, his face immediately changed: "A soldier must not leave his weapon. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was already a commotion over there.

The British colonel who had stopped Meng Shaoyuan before led a group of British troops to come up and collect the weapons of the 1st Battalion, but those Chinese soldiers were willing to agree and immediately raised their guns.

The two sides formed a confrontation situation in an instant.

"Head Xie, listen to me." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "We have done our best to allow you to retreat to the concession safely, and it is also the government's intention to hand over the weapons." There's nothing I can do. However, the gun was not given to the British. ”

"To whom?"

"Me!"

"You?"

"Head Xie, in fact, to be precise, it is not handed over to me." Meng Shaoyuan straightened his face: "I will keep all the weapons and ammunition for you, and after that, you will be sent to the temporary military camp on Jiaozhou Road, and I will send people to follow you all the way to ensure that you are not treated as prisoners." At the same time, the government will actively mediate to ...... you."

Speaking of this, he himself didn't believe it: "Forget it, let's be honest with you, I will do everything I can to get you out of the temporary barracks and return to the team as soon as possible." Head Xie, give me a little time, and when the time comes, I will personally send you out of the concession, and then return the weapons you have kept with me to Zhao!" ”

Xie Jinyuan was silent.

"The regiment commander, the regiment commander, Battalion Commander Yang is here, he is seriously injured and needs emergency rescue."

A stretcher, carrying Yang Ruifu hurriedly.

"Dr. Chuck, help!" Meng Shaoyuan shouted loudly.

Dr. Chuck immediately ran with Ms. Kayla.

After a little examination: "His injuries are very serious and need immediate emergency treatment!" ”

"Get to the ambulance center."

Meng Shaoyuan commanded, and then faced Xie Jinyuan: "Head Xie, have you seen it, we are really helpless, I have forced the public concession to make the greatest concession, so that the wounded can be treated in time." Otherwise, we don't even have the right to do that. ”

Xie Jinyuan silently glanced at the front: "You promise that you can send us to the rental world, return our weapons, and return to the battlefield?" ”

"I'm a spy, and that's what I do." Meng Shaoyuan replied categorically: "Moreover, I will also ensure that you will not be mistreated in any way, and ensure that in the barracks, every major festival, you can raise the national flag." ”

"I believe in you." Xie Jinyuan tidied up his military uniform: "Meng Shaoyuan, remember your promise!" I'm in a makeshift barracks, waiting for you! ”

Meng Shaoyuan made a big promise, one that might change some of history.
