In Shanghai, there was no Japanese concession.

Japanese expatriates in the Public Concession, who live mainly on Towne Road.

The climate has been formed by the Japanese here, and the Japanese who came here for the first time thought that they had come to some small city in Japan if they did not say that it was a concession.

There are all kinds of facilities such as restaurants and izakayas.

Of course, there are also many Chinese living here, mainly engaged in some low-level labor, no matter how far a concession develops, the locals are absolutely indispensable.

Meng Shaoyuan, who speaks fluent Japanese, has fully integrated into this small society from the first minute he entered Tangen Road.

There was a war, a war between China and Japan.

Not only the Japanese overseas Chinese on Wusong Road, but even in Tangen Road, there are many Japanese overseas Chinese who have joined the so-called "Japanese Overseas Chinese Volunteer Team".

However, don't look at the Japanese who are usually so arrogant, when the two countries went to war, they did not dare to leave their places of residence, for fear of retaliation by the Chinese.

Of course, you can feel the frenzy here.

There is excitement on the face of every Japanese person.

National flags and slogans can be seen everywhere.

The cry of "Long live the Great Japanese Empire and win" can be heard everywhere.

This is especially true in izakaya restaurants that specialize in drinking for the poor in Japan.

The drunken Japanese helped each other out, shouting slogans in their mouths.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!" Two Japanese men in kimonos chanted.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!" Meng Shaoyuan smiled and shouted.

Then, he "snapped" two slaps and pumped them up.

One person and one slap, no one will fail.

Two Japanese were beaten.

Passers-by on the side also stopped.

What's going on?

"Bastard!" Meng Shaoyuan scolded angrily: "The Great Japanese Empire is engaged in a holy war, why don't you join the volunteers, why don't you take up arms and fight with the Chinese people?" But shamelessly buy drunk here! You are not subjects of the Empire, no! ”

"Hello!"

The two Japanese were ashamed to the extreme, and at the same time one bowed.

"Now, it's time for you to do things for the Empire!" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes were blood-red: "Take the flag of the empire, go out, tell every person in China, let them surrender, let them know the majesty and invincibility of the empire!" ”

"Hello!"

Around, there was instant warm applause.

What brave Japanese people......

On that day, a very strange thing happened in the Public Concession.

Two Japanese, carrying the Japanese flag, rushed out of Tangen Road, rushed to the gathering place of Chinese, and shouted the slogan "Long live the Great Japanese Empire, the Great Japanese Empire will win, and Shina must be titled."

"Kill them!" I don't know which Chinese took the lead and yelled.

So the crowd quickly overwhelmed the two Japanese.

When the patrol arrived, they found that one of the two Japanese had been beaten to death, and the other was seriously injured.

"Are they crazy?" The Chinese detective who led the team said curiously.

"Detective, what now?"

"What should I do?" The detective glared: "Two madmen, neurotic, what can you let me do?" The Japanese are really fucking crazy, aren't you Chinese? Isn't Lao Tzu Chinese? ”

With that, he looked around and kicked the Japanese man on the ground who was still moaning in pain.

Then, it's the Chinese patrolmen......

"Nikhua Shimbun".

Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the sign.

This is a small Japanese-run newspaper on Towne Road, which publishes once a week, mainly to report some news in Japan.

There is still some market for this among the Japanese diaspora.

When I walked in, there were only three people inside, one man and two women.

"Hello." The older woman greeted her, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"I'm Rukawa Kaede, and I just came from Hujiang University."

"Hujiang University?"

The young girl, who was busy and looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, immediately put down her work when she heard this name, and hurriedly asked:

"You're from Hujiang University? Do you know a Matsumoto Hirobang? ”

Meng Shaoyuan looked at her: "You must be Matsumoto Matsumoto, right?" ”

"It's me, it's me." Matsuko said impatiently, "Excuse me, do you have any news of my grandfather?" ”

Meng Shaoyuan's expression was gloomy: "The people of China launched an attack on the Hujiang position, which was very fierce, and your grandfather, His Excellency Matsumoto, and Captain Yamada, led the heroic soldiers of the empire and the expatriates of the volunteers, fought hard, and finally ...... In the end, all of them are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Ahh

Mako's tears flowed out at once.

The older woman hurried to comfort him.

The only man came to Meng Shaoyuan and bowed: "I am Tatsuhiko Urakawa, president and editor-in-chief of the Nikhua Shimbun, you have fought the front line. ”

Laborious? It's not hard.

Young master, I have been hiding behind the position, but I was beaten by my own people after the victory.

However, the Japanese at Hujiang University are all dead, and they are still standing here alive, so they can't help but be a little unavoidable: "I also want the jade to be broken, and when the people rush to the battlefield, I will fight bravely with them...... As a result, a rifle butt hit me in the head, and I fainted, you see......"

Young Master Meng was hit with a gun butt on his head, that was a true thing, and he was still dizzy in his head, Meng Shaoyuan suspected that he would not be smashed into a concussion.

"Damn the Shina people!" Tatsuhiko Urakawa roared angrily.

Not only the back of the head, but also the marks of being beaten on the face and arms of "Rukawa Kaede".

It must have been the wound he had been wounded while fighting the Chinese people.

Whether it is Tatsuhiko Urakawa, the older Japanese woman, or Matsuko who is crying, when she looks at "Rukawa Kaede", her eyes are full of respect and adoration.

"When I woke up, I found that my companions were dead, and Matsumoto, right next to me. And those soldiers of China have already rushed into Hujiang University. ”

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes were red: "When His Excellency Matsumoto was on the battlefield, he kept talking to me about you, and said that your 17th birthday had just passed. I noticed that he still had a breath left, and I helped him up, and Matsumoto motioned for me to take out a photograph from my pocket, which was taken on your birthday, Miss Makiko. ”

Makiko couldn't control it anymore and lay on the old woman's body and cried.

"Your grandfather, when you are dying, please let me take good care of you." Meng Shaoyuan "trembled" and took out the photo taken on Zhenzi's birthday from his pocket:

"This is his last gift to you."

Matsuko cried and took the photo tremblingly: "Thank you...... Thank you...... Rukawa-kun ......"

Well, it's kind of knowing the real coffin.

When I'm stupid?

Is this really a newspaper?

A small broken newspaper can be open for so long?

If you want to say that this is not a Japanese point of contact, it would be embarrassing.

Meng Shaoyuan knew for a long time that Japanese newspapers like this one in China were generally responsible for intelligence work.

He took the opportunity to visit Makoko, and he also got to know the people here, and he couldn't delay much time anyway.

After that, you can slowly put it to use.

Meng Shaoyuan bowed slightly: "Your Excellency Matsumoto's request for me has been completed, then I will leave." ”

"You, where are you going?" Masako asked.

Meng Shaoyuan resolutely decided: "I want to go to the battlefield, my comrades-in-arms have already sacrificed, I have decided to be with them, fight, and destroy all the enemies!" ”

He wasn't lying, the problem was that the enemy he was trying to destroy was the Japanese.

"Please wait, Rukawa-kun." Tatsuhiko Urakawa suddenly stopped him: "Can we go inside and talk?" ”

"Okay."

Tatsuhiko Urakawa took Meng Shaoyuan to the dark room where the photos were washed, closed the door, and then whispered: "Rukawa-kun, in fact, I am from the 'Cherry Blossom Society'. ”

Fuck, it's a spy.

"Ah, Sakura will?" Meng Shaoyuan looked surprised.

"Shhhh Tatsuhiko Urakawa's voice was lower: "The empire is fighting a great war, and we have worked hard to organize a group of expatriates to join the volunteers. But as you know, the mood of the people of China is very fierce right now, and we must immediately surrender the territory in batches, and then go to the designated place and join the war. ”

At this point, he paused slightly: "We need the military's response, but for some reason, our telegram has been detected by the Chinese people......"

I know.

This is made by your Young Master Meng, and I got it from Yugui Xintian. Not only the military's, but also the passwords of your civilian spy organizations.

Awesome!

"There were two hundred and forty-five expatriates in all." Tatsuhiko Urakawa was a little nervous: "Until the reinforcements of the empire arrive, this is a living force. We didn't dare to send it by telegram, so we were going to risk sending it, but the group of people who went out before were captured by the agents of the Shina people, and fortunately they swallowed the information before they were arrested. ”

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed: "I understand, please give me this information." Since I can get in, I will definitely be able to go out and get the information to the military smoothly. ”

"Hmm." Tatsuhiko Urakawa nodded vigorously, and then carefully took out a piece of paper: "This is the specific meeting place, we are going to start setting off in batches tonight, and it is expected that the meeting can be completed tomorrow night." According to optimistic estimates, at least 200 people could arrive without any problems. ”

"I swear!" Meng Shaoyuan solemnly swore: "I will definitely send this information." ”

Young Master Meng swore that it was tantamount to fart.

This is what his brothers and sisters all know.

This time, though, it's different.

This time it's a real vow.

I promise to send the information out.

to the hands of their own people.

Or to be more precise, Meng Shaoyuan has actually fulfilled his oath:

The information has been sent to him!
