Chapter 808: Your Majesty
General Roligani, who is extremely happy in the eyes of outsiders, is actually full of troubles.
His young, beautiful and charming wife, Giobrina, has always been a bottomless pit for spending money.
She has always used the best and most expensive ones for living, wearing, and using.
On her twenty-seventh birthday, Giobrina even bought the entire Verona Opera House and invited all her friends.
The little money that Roligani had accumulated had been squandered by her a long time ago.
His Excellency the General had to borrow money everywhere and even owed a personal loan to the bank.
However, he could not complain.
What did young Jobbrina fancy about him?
In the past, the status of a general always made women have a sense of admiration.
Then it's time to satisfy her wanton profligacy.
General Roligani knew that the debt would explode sooner or later, but he was at a loss.
He thought of a friend of his:
Briton Daniel.
Daniel once served as a police commissioner in the Far East Shanghai Public Concession, and this experience must have made him a lot of money. Maybe he'll help himself.
So he sent a telegram to Daniel.
Daniel never called back.
Desperate, the international delegation headed by him was about to depart, he had no money in his pocket, and once he was in Shanghai, he could not cope with his wife's imminent huge expenses.
And just three days before his trip, Daniel suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Money, there is no problem, all the expenses after you arrive in Shanghai will be borne by someone." As soon as they met, Daniel said: "Your Excellency, this person has also entrusted me to help you pay off all your debts before you go to Shanghai. ”
Roligani couldn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world: "I owe a lot of money. ”
"Your Excellency General, with all due respect, the large amount of money you know is just a little pocket money in the eyes of this person." Daniel pulled out a cheque: "Here are three thousand pounds, please pay off your debts, and then buy some necessities for the Far East." ”
That's a lot of money!
Roligani's eyes lit up.
But just as he wanted to reach out and take the check, Daniel smiled and said, "Your Excellency, General, don't you ask who entrusted me to give it to you?" What do you need to pay to get this money? ”
Roligani's hand retracted again.
"This person's surname is Meng, Meng Shaoyuan, and he is a good friend of mine in Shanghai." Daniel said casually: "He needs you to do everything he says after you arrive in Shanghai." First, he'll arrange for you to leave the delegation, and of course, you'll be designed to be kidnapped......"
He said the whole plan.
Roligani hesitated.
"Are you worried about the relationship between Italy and Japan?" Daniel smiled: "What is more important in this world than making money?" You are just a retired general, and what you say and do does does not represent your government's attitude. And, let's not forget, the Italian government also sold a large number of weapons to the Chinese Nationalist Government. Your Excellency, General, don't be stupid, at your age, there are not many opportunities to make a lot of money. ”
Roligani hesitated for a moment, and after weighing the pros and cons, the huge amount of money, and the current financial pressure, he agreed to all the conditions Daniel proposed.
There is only one demand, not to make him betray Italy.
Daniel replaced an Englishman named Madgan in the delegation.
As for Jobbrina, it was even easier for the General, who told himself that the romantic wife would go on an adventure when they arrived in China, and that there would be a lavish reception.
Jobrina, who had never known what I was in danger, immediately agreed with great interest.
With the cooperation of the parties involved, the rest will be easy to handle.
Disembarking from the "Lord Andrew", the plan has already begun.
Killers, bombs!
Then there was the full cooperation of the two American journalists who had been bribed.
Add to that the chaotic crowd.
Within a brief moment, Rorigani, Jobrina, and Daniel disappeared in plain sight.
Great change of life!
Koichi Hahara is a very smart guy, and he guessed that without the cooperation of the parties involved, it would be difficult for the "kidnapping" to succeed.
It's just that the only thing he can't figure out is that Meng Shaoyuan will never know Mr. Roligani, and it is impossible for him to go to Italy, how did he persuade the three foreigners to cooperate?
What is the identity of that mysterious "Madgen"?
……
Magic, unraveling the mystery is worthless.
However, a magical magic trick was designed, but it was absolutely pleasing to the audience.
Daniel is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this magic show.
When he received a telegram asking for help from Roligani and learned of his new identity, he immediately thought that this was an opportunity to help his best friend in Shanghai.
If this international visit were to turn into a farce, Japan's position would be severely damaged and their government would be disgraced.
It can even trigger a series of effects.
He immediately informed Meng Shaoyuan of his idea, and Meng Shaoyuan quickly called back, and there were only a few words on the telegram:
"Don't care about spending money!"
With this promise, everything is easy.
Of course, Daniel did this with his own selfishness.
He knew that as long as he helped Meng Shaoyuan with his errands, this cheerful God of Wealth would definitely not treat him badly!
……
"Your Excellency, Madam, welcome to Shanghai."
Meng Shaoyuan expressed his enthusiasm as a host: "What will the Japanese arrange for you?" In the Japanese control area, there are only hotels that do not enter the stream, and the best hotels are here, the public concession! As the Lord of the General, and with the astonishing beauty of the Madame, you must stay in the most luxurious suites of the best hotels. ”
Just a few words, it is difficult to say how His Excellency the General is in mood, but at least it quickly made Jobbrina feel extremely satisfied.
"I will bear all your expenses in Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Whatever you fancie, someone will pay. ”
"Whatever you like?" Jobrina asked.
"Yes, whatever." Meng Shaoyuan replied very affirmatively: "For example, if Mrs. takes a fancy to a house in Shanghai, an hour later, the house will become Madame's private property." ”
Roligani and Jobrina were simply shocked.
This is a mysterious rich man from the Far East!
"As I said, Meng, he is richer than the king." Daniel smiled proudly: "You know him, you know a king who stands on the mountain of gold." Go to the hotel and take a warm bath, and I think our king has arranged a sumptuous banquet to welcome you. Ah, I have a little private suggestion that in order to avoid trouble, Your Excellency and Madame General, it is better to do as the king asks. ”
King?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
Giobrina's eyes flashed with heat: "Yes, Your Majesty, I can't wait to see the palace you have arranged for us." ”
"Of course." Meng Shaoyuan called Wu Jingyi: "International Hotel, I have already instructed Lao Ge to clean up the best suite." Take them and be careful not to be discovered. ”
After speaking, he said to Roligani and Jobrina: "See you at dinner, Your Excellency, Madame." ”
The general and his wife left.
Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigar and handed it to Daniel: "Daniel, I really want to thank you this time, your telegram prompted me to make up my mind to act." ”
Otherwise, Meng Shaoyuan would not have mentioned the international visiting delegation inexplicably, and inexplicably wanted to do something to this delegation.
It's all because of Daniel.
"Look, Meng, I said we were best friends a long time ago." Daniel took the cigar with a smile: "I'll help you with everything." Ah, the last time I said I'd help you go to Europe and the U.S. to buy new equipment, and I did. This time, I have brought back a lot of goods, not on the 'Lord Andrew' for safety, but all by American cargo ships, and it will be in Shanghai in about a few days. ”
Meng Shaoyuan's eyes immediately lit up.
"TICKA pocket watch camera, you asked for it by name, and I helped you purchase twenty of them." Daniel enthused, "It's all improvements. A three-millimeter pocket watch pistol, a close-range shot that makes people simply defenseless, an authentic British patent! The 'Apache' brass knuckle assault weapon, consisting of knuckles, brass stabs, knives and guns, was one of the favorite weapons used by British agents......"
Meng Shaoyuan seems to have seen a real gold mine!
These are the latest spy weapons in the world, not to mention that domestic agents have never heard of them at all, and even themselves, who are from another era, have heard of many of them for the first time.
These weapons, once delivered to Shanghai, will increase the combat effectiveness of their agents by at least a few grades in terms of weapon level.
Japanese agents will seriously lag behind themselves in terms of weaponry.
Daniel purchased a large amount of spy equipment, including a batch of American-made modified silk body armor. It is more advanced than what Kong Lingyi gave to Meng Shaoyuan.
"Thank you, my friend." Meng Shaoyuan called Daniel a "friend" sincerely for the first time: "You have helped us a lot, no matter how much money you spend, as long as you quote a number, I will pay the amount." ”
"Hey, I'm not going to quote ......"
"Listen, Daniel, you and I both know you're a money-grubbing guy." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be joking, but there was no smile on his face: "But I don't care, in such a difficult situation, you can still help me purchase a large number of goods and ship them across the ocean to China, this money is what you should earn." I will not forget the people who have helped me, believe me. ”
"Meng, that's why I'm so happy to work with you." Daniel also said seriously: "War, it's amazing. I was able to help my friends and make a lot of money, so I would value this friendship very much. ”
