Because Yinjiang is one of the earliest commercial ports, the port was opened earlier than Shanghai, so most Western countries have legations in Yinjiang, of course, not the highest level of embassies.

But later, with the gradual rise of Shanghai, Yinjiang's status began to weaken.

Today, most Western countries have revoked their legations in Yinjiang.

But Britain, the United States, and France retained their legations in Yinjiang.

At this moment, the American Minister Commodus and the French Minister Joseph MacJoseph gathered at the British Legation.

Facing Commodus and MacJoseph's inquiring eyes, Richmore said with some discouragement: "Ambassador Carr has replied, saying that the Chinese government has behaved unusually tough this time!" ”

"Oh, really?" "It's not quite what they're going to do." ”

"This time, it's mainly because we're too careless." Commodus put his hand on his forehead and said, "I thought Zhong Yi was a soft persimmon like other Chinese officials, but as soon as I got started, I found out that it was an iron lump!" ”

As a diplomat who has lived in China for many years, Chinese proverbs are also handy.

"yes." Li Qimo said depressedly, "Now let the Chinese pinch our sore feet, things are not easy to handle." ”

"I don't think so." Joseph McJoser said disapprerovingly, "The Chinese actually didn't really pinch our sore feet, unless they really pulled out the Japanese spies lurking in Jiangbei." ”

Richmore said: "Joseph MacJoseph, you should know that the Japanese spies are hiding in Jiangbei. ”

"Of course I know this, even the Chinese know it." "However, it is one thing for them to know that Japanese spies are hiding in Jiangbei, but it is another thing whether they can find Japanese spies!" As far as I know, the Japanese spies who infiltrated the Yinjiang River this time are a very powerful squad, and the Chinese are afraid that it will be difficult to find them out! ”

After a pause, Joseph said: "The key problem is that the Chinese are understaffed!" ”

"It seems to be." Commod's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Although Jiangbei is the smallest of the three districts of Yinjiang, there are also several kilometers within a radius, and if the Chinese want to carry out a comprehensive investigation of Jiangbei, they must have at least a thousand manpower, but they don't even have three hundred people now!" ”

"If the Chinese can't find Japanese spies in Jiangbei, we can punish them for defamation, so that the Chinese will not only be unable to pinch our sore feet, but will be pinched by us!" At that time, the Chinese government will not only have to release the people obediently, but also meet all the conditions we have put forward. ”

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the street outside.

"What's wrong?" Richmore subconsciously walked to the window and lifted the curtains.

But at first glance, Richmore's whole body immediately froze in place, unable to move.

Commodus and MacJoseph glanced at each other, and immediately walked to the window, and looked out, and at first glance, the two of them could not help but gasp.

I saw one team after another on the street, all of them were Chinese armed men!

And that's just part of what they see, and there's definitely more that they don't see!

According to the most estimated estimate, there are at least 3,000 armed personnel entering Jiangbei now!

The division of labor among these armed men is very clear, some of them guard the streets and alleys, and the whole block is divided into small blocks, and the other part knocks on doors and searches from house to house.

It took a long time for Richmore to finally come to his senses.

"Fack!" Richmore said hatefully, "Why did so many armed men suddenly appear? ”

Commodus and MacJoseph couldn't answer, and they couldn't touch their heads.

After a long while, Joseph said quietly, "It seems that we have to help them." ”

……

In the Qian Family Garden, apartment building No. 3.

A comprehensive investigation by the Chinese military and police in the front block quickly alarmed the Japanese here.

Heiji Ohno, who was in charge of watching the wind outside, returned to the apartment building again and reported to Jiro Imai: "Imai-kun, it seems that the reality is seriously different from our estimates! ”

Jiro Imai said awe-inspiringly: "What do you say? ”

Ohno Heiji said in a deep voice: "The people of China are already carrying out a comprehensive investigation of various neighborhoods in Jiangbei!" ”

"Nani?" Jiro Imai said awe-inspiringly, "In this way, the people of Shina are still coming for us!" ”

"Hello!" Ohno paused hegemonically and said, "I just don't know, where did so many armed people come from?" ”

"Baga, fortunately, we have been prepared for a long time!" There was a cold light in Jiro Imai's eyes, and he said, "Since the people of Shina are coming for us, then we will wait for death if we stay here any longer!" ”

After a pause, Imai Jiro said again: "Instead of waiting for the Shina people to come to the door, it is better to take a risk, and maybe there is a chance to escape from the city!" As long as we get out of Jiangbei District, don't try to trap us with the Chinese armed forces outside, we can go directly to the seaside of Ninghai, where there will be a navy to meet us! ”

"Hello!" Heiji Ohno paused, "Imai-kun, give the order." ”

"Command." Jiro Imai nodded slightly, and said, "Change your clothes immediately!" ”

"Hello!" Heiji Ohno and several other Japanese agents swiped their heads together.

……

Not far behind Qianjia Garden, there is the railway station, which is connected to the port of Zhenhai, and all bulk goods transiting from Yinjiang port must take this railway line.

Such an important railway station must be a key fortification!

So in addition to a group of the Yinjiang Police Department and a squad of the garrison division, there is also an armed platoon of the Xiaogang Zhao Family Business Group!

More than 50 people were patrolling the platform with loaded guns and ammunition.

It's just that the equipment of these more than fifty people is a little messy.

The merchant group used Hanyang, the officers and soldiers of the garrison division used the old sleeve, and the patrol police used batons.

At this time, nine patrolmen in khaki uniforms suddenly swaggered from the front.

"Stop!" The squad leader of the leading garrison division immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Where are you going? ”

One of the leading patrols said: "I just received a report from the Siming Office, saying that someone is gathering people to gamble over there, and we are preparing to go over to catch the gambling!" ”

"Catch a bet?" The guard division squad leader's eyes immediately showed greed.

Because everyone knows that gambling is a very lucrative beauty difference!

At that moment, the squad leader of the garrison division said: "No, we have received an order that no one is allowed to walk on the street without authorization, including the patrol of your patrol room, so go back!" ”

The squad leader of the garrison division plans to drive this group of patrols back, and then take people to the Siming Public Office himself.

But at this moment, the nine Chinese patrolmen on the opposite side suddenly took out their pistols and Mauser pistols from their waists, and then fired continuously without hesitation, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry!
