Chapter 528: Above the Banquet
Everyone has arrived.
Cai Xuefei, Wu Jingyi, Yamashita Yuriai, Yuan Zhonghe, Zhao Changle, Guo Rui.
and Meng Shaoyuan's very important partner Hoyce.
People like Song Deng and Sun Jian are too young in qualifications, and they are not qualified to come for the time being.
It's actually nice to have a housekeeper.
Arau had everything ready.
Eat authentic Chinese food.
"Aarau." Meng Shaoyuan specially explained: "The dishes are all at once, you take the servants, and also start eating, lively, today is the most important day in China, although you are not Chinese, you are also happy together." ”
Steward Qiu, who was standing there ready to wait at any time, snorted coldly in his nose.
What does a foreigner know about Chinese New Year's Eve?
"Steward Qiu." Unexpectedly, Cai Xuefei also said: "You have also worked hard, let's go to the bar together." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Although he was not too happy, Steward Qiu replied respectfully.
"It's done, everybody." Meng Shaoyuan raised his glass: "I was ready to toast, but when I picked up this cup, I don't know what to say, I wish everyone all the best in the new year, and there will be no more worries!" ”
Several people took a sip.
It was the first time for Wu Jingyi to celebrate the New Year in someone else's house. She is not very familiar with Cai Xuefei and Yamashita Yuriai, and Yuan Zhong and these people are theoretically her subordinates.
It feels weird.
"Ms. Wu, please eat, don't be polite." Yuri Yamashita has a bit of the taste of the hostess of this house: "Everyone, I want to say a few words...... My motherland, brought the war to China, I can't do anything but watch this happen, I'm sorry, we're guilty, I'm sorry! ”
With that, she stood up and bowed deeply.
"Mr. Yamashita, sit down." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "Japan started a war, but it has nothing to do with you, in any country, there are always good people and bad people." I'm always fighting with the Japanese, all kinds of spies, but I also know a lot of kind Japanese. ”
At this moment, the figure of a Japanese girl suddenly appeared in her mind:
What a whim!
……
"Zhenzizi, come, let's spend a Chinese New Year together."
When he arrived at home, Matsumoto Rentsugu was no longer the same Osa Honor, but really became a father.
There are several dishes prepared, all of which are Chinese dishes that Makoko loves to eat.
Since Makoko returned from Nanjing, it was the second time she had seen her father.
The father did not say a word of reproach.
She also felt that it was not good to deceive her father like this, but for the sake of her beloved Shao Yuanjun, she had to endure all this.
"Father, it's been a hard work." Makiko raised the small wine cup: "Today, I will accompany you to drink well." ”
"Okay, okay." Matsumoto Renji looked very happy: "With Makoko here, Dad feels happy no matter how hard he works." ”
"Father, I miss grandpa......"
When Makoko said this, the atmosphere quickly froze.
Mako's eyes turned a little red: "Father, I don't understand, why do you have to fight?" Originally, I was very happy to live with my grandfather in the concession, but when the war broke out, my grandfather was gone, and many people died. This time I went to Nanjing, and I saw with my own eyes that there were corpses everywhere......"
"It's a real thing, don't say it." Matsumoto Renji hurriedly interrupted her: "The imperial army, which pays special attention to military discipline in Nanjing, has not committed any crimes in autumn, and is welcomed by the Chinese, how can it be that there are corpses everywhere?" ”
"Father, why are you lying?" Makiko looked sad: "I saw it, no one told me anything, and no one did any publicity. I know that wars always kill people, but it should be the soldiers, not the ordinary people. ”
"That's enough, real whim."
Matsumoto Renji became stern: "Don't say these words outside, it will have a very bad impact." It will also affect Dad's future......"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The servant went and opened the door, and after a while came in and said, "There is a person from Nanjing, His Excellency Koichi Hawara, who has asked to see him. ”
Koichi Hahara?
The complexion of the real coffin changed.
"Koichi Hahara?"
Matsumoto Renji frowned: "Ah, it's the officer who sent you back last time, right?" ”
……
"This glass of wine, to Xiang Shounong, to Tan Xinyi......" Meng Shaoyuan raised his glass again: "To all the sacrificed brothers!" ”
He spilled the wine on the floor.
Yuan Zhonghe sighed deeply: "Last year, in Nanjing, so many brothers were in the boss's house. But it's only been a year......"
"War always kills." Meng Shaoyuan said silently: "Some brothers left early, and some brothers will soon follow in their footsteps, perhaps including me. If only one day......"
"For the New Year, don't say anything depressing." Cai Xuefei said in a low voice: "In my eyes, you are all big heroes and heroes, and big heroes and heroes will not die." You will live well until the day the Japanese are beaten away. Come, I salute all of you! ”
Drink liquor.
In the past, Cai Xuefei never drank liquor, but this time, she drank all the wine in one cup. I drank a little fast, and my face was red.
Wu Jingyi said lightly: "When the Japanese are gone, I will take my husband and children back, and if possible, I want to apply for another job from above, so that I can have more time to take care of my husband and children." ”
Like Meng Shaoyuan, Wu Jingyi is gradually becoming a legend.
Although not many people outside can know her real name and true identity, they only know that there is a great "Assistant Wu" by Meng Shaoyuan's side.
But she didn't want to.
It was enough for her to just want to be an ordinary housewife.
Every day, I can accompany my husband and children, and I don't have to think about what plans or hoes.
She's just a woman.
"Hey, this is ...... Chinese New Year, right? ”
"I know it's a traditional Chinese holiday, it's the same as our Thanksgiving Christmas, and you should be happy," Hoyce said. Look, Meng, I've brought you a gift that might make you happy. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a suitcase that he had brought with him when he entered......
……
Tian Qi poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve.
Meng Shaoyuan: They are now in Shanghai for the New Year, right?
Alone in Nanjing, alone.
Tian Qi suddenly felt a little lonely.
In the past, he lurked in Wuxi for a long time, and he was used to being alone, and he didn't feel anything.
But when you have comrades and friends around you, you will gradually get used to being with them.
Now, all that you just got is gone.
He had to fight alone.
Listening to the meaning of Meng Shao's original words, it seems that the War of Resistance will continue for a long time, so what about yourself? Will it always lurk in the hearts of its enemies?
Tian Qi didn't know, and he didn't want to be like this all the time.
I don't know why, he suddenly thought of two women.
One is a flower, and the other is Lin Xuan......
……
A suitcase full of money, all in yen and military tickets.
"Where did you get so many yen? What is it? Yuan Zhonghe was a little curious, he picked up a few military tickets and asked.
"Military ticket." Meng Shaoyuan quickly gave him the answer: "After the Japanese occupied the Northeast, they began to issue this kind of military bills, which are equivalent to banknotes. However, the use of this kind of military ticket can squeeze the occupied territory and plunder local resources to the greatest extent. Now, Shanghai, Nanjing, and other places are falling into the hands of the enemy one after another, and military tickets will soon appear in these places. ”
"Not soon, but already there." Hawes was a little proud: "I did a special investigation, and some Japanese troops from Taiwan brought military tickets, and they are circulating in the market. I believe that it will not be long before military tickets will appear on a large scale. The batch I made was of the highest quality. ”
"You did it?" Yuan Zhonghe was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "These are all fake? ”
"Fake!" Hawes nodded: "Since last month, we have been trying to use fake yen, and the use has been very smooth. This batch of yen is the highest quality version, and it can basically be played to the effect of being fake. Especially with the cooperation of professionals, we have made counterfeit banknotes old, and they will not be easily discovered. ”
"Counterfeit banknotes, you can use them, but you don't need military tickets for the time being." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while and said: "There are too many uncertain factors in military tickets, and one negligence can easily arouse the vigilance of the Japanese. Lao Yuan, Changle, after the New Year, you each received a batch of counterfeit banknotes and tried your best to spend them. Assistant Wu, you try to buy bulk Japanese goods with counterfeit banknotes. ”
Counterfeit banknotes, which are used by people alone, are consumed too slowly.
The fastest way is to buy materials that are urgently needed in China.
Wu Jingyi smiled, this Young Master Meng really came up with any idea of lack of morality, and the idea of counterfeit banknotes was used.
Although she has been following Meng Shaoyuan, she doesn't know that the use of counterfeit banknotes is actually a way for warring countries to study and use each other in the future.
Meng Shaoyuan did it just a little earlier than others.
"This is your intelligence front, right?" Cai Xuefei experienced such a scene for the first time, and was a little curious: "I thought that the so-called intelligence front was to spy on intelligence and kill people." I didn't expect this. ”
"It's going to take a lot of effort to kill ten people." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at these counterfeit banknotes: "But if these coins can be circulated on a large scale, the significance and influence brought by killing ten people or a hundred people are much more far-reaching." ”
Cai Xuefei didn't understand these things, and she didn't want to ask them more, she just felt very happy.
Meng Shaoyuan was able to say these things in front of her, which means that he did not regard himself as an outsider.
And from this moment on, Cai Xuefei may not have thought that her fate has actually been closely linked to Meng Shaoyuan.
"Come on." Meng Shaoyuan raised the wine cup again: "For the sake of these fake banknotes, let's drink another cup of celebratory wine!" ”
