369 Seymour Road, Shanghai.

This is the residence of Song Meiling before marrying the chairman of the committee.

Next to it is Seymour Road Christian Church. This garden house is in the style of a Western European country house. There is a passage leading to the stone steps of the inner door inside the large iron gate, and the stone steps can lead to the living room. The living room is inlaid with stained glass and has old-fashioned parquet floors. To the east of the living room is an arched inner room, and to the west is a large living room. A small north-facing room on the second floor is Song Meiling's boudoir.

Now, it has been given to Kong Lingyi to live.

On both sides of the road, there were many bodyguards with loaded guns, all of whom Kong Xiangxi invited for his baby daughter.

Kong Lingyi's meeting place was in the large living room on the west side.

If Shanghai is outside in August, it is unusually hot and humid, but here, I only feel a little cool.

Also put large ice cubes in the four corners of the large living room.

The large ice cubes here are very special.

There wasn't a big ceiling fan blowing there.

According to these big families, the big ceiling fan blows at people, which hurts the body, and the best way is that the ice cubes in the four corners are there from morning to night, relying on the coolness emitted by their own melting to cool down.

The ice can't stop for 24 hours, and there are so many rooms here.

At the end of the day, the consumption of ice cubes alone is staggering enough.

"Section Chief Meng, your shelf is really big." As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan, Kong Lingyi was still unforgiving: "If I have to transfer Gao Fanyi to invite you, do you think you are willing to come?" ”

"Miss, wronged." Meng Shaoyuan stubbornly said: "I went to Shanghai, I was busy with official business, I went to Beiping again, and I just returned to Shanghai, so I really don't have time to visit the eldest lady." ”

"Forget it, I know that you went to Beiping to instigate an uprising against the Tongxian security team. Have a seat. Kodaka, serve. ”

Late is Chinese food.

A total of two people, Meng Shaoyuan and Kong Lingyi, eat.

As soon as it came up, it was eight cold cuts.

Shark fin and sea cucumber jelly, southern Shaanxi Shuangpin, smoked horse meat, zongxiang and hooves......

Drink red wine.

Kong Lingyi raised his cup: "Meng Shaoyuan, congratulations on your ascension, and I also wish you a successful start in Tongxian County." ”

"Thank you."

Here, Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to be too presumptuous, just took a sip of red wine.

He can't taste good or bad, anyway, her eldest lady's things will always be wrong.

Kong Lingyi urged him to eat more, but he basically didn't use chopsticks.

"I've never cared about politics." Kong Lingyi opened his mouth and said: "But the Japanese brazenly invaded Beiping and Tianjin, which is unbearable. I heard my father say that this time it was unanimously agreed that it must be fought, and it was a big fight. Meng Shaoyuan, I'm afraid I will transfer you to Shanghai at this time, I'm afraid it will ......"

Meng Shaoyuan knew that Kong Lingyi was kind.

She knew better than most people what the upper echelons had decided to do, such as the Nationalist government's decision to make a move in Shanghai and annihilate the 3,000 marines here.

Once the war starts, spies like Meng Shaoyuan will inevitably be in danger.

"Shao Yuan understands." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I am a spy, and at the same time I am also a soldier, major, and I have just been awarded the Order of Yunlu. ”

"I don't know about war, but if you want to change jobs, I can always help."

"Thank you, Miss, for your kindness." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "If I flee at this time, then I, Meng Shaoyuan, will become a joke, and from now on, I will never have to look up in front of people again." ”

Kong Lingyi stared at him, and suddenly let out a soft sigh: "My father was still in Shanghai two days ago, I told him about it, and he also said that you, Meng Shaoyuan, would rather bleed five steps than be a deserter." ”

Kong Xiangxi knows himself quite well.

The dishes were served one after another, some of which Meng Shaoyuan had never said he had seen or even heard of.

This is definitely the feeling of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Two people, where can they eat so many dishes?

Some dishes have not been touched with a single chopstick.

"Isn't it a bit extravagant?" Kong Lingyi seemed to see something: "You are here for the first time, and I am afraid that it will be rare to come in the future, so I specially prepared something hearty in the kitchen." I have already said that the daily six dishes and two soups will be changed to four dishes and one soup, and all the money saved will be donated to the state when the time comes. ”

Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that this sounded a bit ridiculous, but for a person like Kong Lingyi, it was already remarkable to be able to lower his daily living standards.

"During the Anti-Japanese War in Beiping, the eldest lady has donated a large amount of money to the soldiers on the front line." Gao Fanyi, who had been standing aside waiting for the summons, said: "And she is still mobilizing her friends, and everyone will take out a sum of money to buy a plane and donate it to the national government." ”

To be honest, Meng Shaoyuan was particularly awkward in this way of eating.

Two people ate a large table of food, and there was a man standing there like a telephone pole.

The problem is that Kong Lingyi doesn't think there is anything in this, and Gao Fanyi himself doesn't think there is anything in this.

"Gao Fanyi, you told me in secret that you were going to fight in the army." Kong Lingyi smiled: "Now that Meng Shaoyuan is here, you ask him to see if he can help you think of a way." ”

"It's my duty to protect the eldest lady as well." Gao Fanyi replied lightly.

The mouth is not right.

Meng Shaoyuan saw it at a glance.

Hearing the word "army", Gao Fanyi's eyes flashed with fiery sparks.

He can't wait to go to the army now.

It's a pity.

Gao Fanyi himself was selected from the army to protect the eldest lady, and now he is still hanging on to his position in the army, and because of protecting Kong Lingyi, his military rank was promoted from major to colonel.

Colonel.

No matter how many people fought bloody battles, they couldn't be promoted to the first level. But Gao Fanyi easily became a colonel because of his protection.

Moreover, Kong Lingyi will not let people go.

It's too easy to let Gao Fanyi return to the army, so why bother with this little spy?

Meng Shaoyuan knew it, and he didn't say anything: "The heart of the eldest lady's fist, the soldiers on the front line will be very moved when they know it." It's just that Shaoyuan has a suggestion that this money does not need to buy an airplane. ”

"Why?" Kong Lingyi asked.

"One more plane, one less plane, can't change the overall situation." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "But if you can save this money and buy a large number of medicines, you can save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers." ”

"Meng Shaoyuan, do you know why on September 18 and January 28, there were always celebrities who bought planes to donate to the country and called for resistance to the end?"

"I don't know."

Kong Lingyi smiled and sneered: "The plane is big, and the sensation caused by the donation is big and influential. Journalists will flock to the city, and the people will be enthusiastic. Donating medicines doesn't have that much influence. Because in the minds of ordinary people, the value of medicine cannot be compared with airplanes. ”

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

A mystery that had always existed in his heart was finally solved.

In the past, he always saw that during the Anti-Japanese War, someone donated a plane, and even that Du Yuesheng didn't donate a plane?

He has always wondered how useful the donated planes are for the Anti-Japanese War. With this money, it is better to buy a few more heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and more medicines that can save people.

Now, Kong Lingyi has helped him unravel this mystery.

"The planes donated are equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan." Kong Lingyi calculated an account: "This is indeed a lot of money, but for those big businessmen, it is actually nothing." But these planes are all small civilian planes, which are good for transporting people, but they can't go to the battlefield, but 200,000 yuan has brought them a great reputation. Pharmaceuticals? There is no such effect. ”

Meng Shaoyuan exhaled.

It is no wonder that during the Anti-Japanese War, so many celebrities enthusiastically donated planes.

He once thought that the price of airplanes and Chinese cabbage in this era was the same.

Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang also donated planes, but his set of costumes is worth 70,000 yuan.

Of course, Mei Lanfang's patriotism is absolutely undeniable.

"Meng Shaoyuan, that's why I want to donate the plane." Kong Lingyi smiled faintly: "This time, we even thought of the name, so we asked Shanghai celebrities to donate generously and buy airplanes to support the Anti-Japanese War." Now it's not interesting to be asked by you to break the casserole like this. ”

"This ......," Meng Shaoyuan said, "It's better to have an airplane than not to have an airplane." The generosity of the eldest lady, that is the best of the best. ”

"You're a hypocrisy." Kong Lingyi pouted: "Obviously, I don't think so, what I say in my mouth is not at all the same as what I think in my heart." Well, tomorrow I'll call them together and tell them that the planes we bought don't work, and they still use them to buy medicines.

We often go to Hong Kong and the United States, and there are always more channels to buy medicines than you do, so I will take this money to buy as many medicines as possible, bring them back, and give them to you to use. Meng Shaoyuan, I don't care about politics, but I'm also a Chinese, you can always be satisfied with this, right? ”

Meng Shaoyuan stood up, poured a full glass of red wine into his cup, and didn't care about any etiquette, he drank it cleanly in one gulp, and then bowed deeply to Kong Lingyi:

"Miss, on behalf of the soldiers on the front line, I thank you."

"Just for these medicines, it is worth it to make you Meng Shaoyuan bend his waist." Kong Lingyi said seriously: "Dai Yunong is full of praise for you, my father and uncle are also very fond of you, Meng Shaoyuan, fight well, live well, don't die." ”

"I'll try my best."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know how to answer. Who wants to die? But once on the battlefield, the bullet won't go around him just because he is Meng Shaoyuan, right?

"Alright, eat, eat." Kong Lingyi's expression didn't know why she looked a little lonely.

This Meng Shaoyuan, all his thoughts are on the battlefield, maybe in order to wait for this moment, he has been preparing for too long, right?

Why did the Japanese have to start a war?
