Chapter 460: The Return of the Scoundrel
Cumbria Breaking Waves!
The flag of the British Empire is very prominent.
Meng Shaoyuan and Daniel stood on the deck together.
The river breeze blew and was cool.
On the river, you can often see all kinds of boats.
Including warships flying the Japanese flag.
The distance from Shanghai to Nanjing is very close, and it doesn't take much time to walk by water.
The closer you got to Nanjing, the more Japanese battleships you could see.
These were all used to blockade Nanjing.
Meng Shaoyuan was right before, at this time, Nanjing, under the complete blockade of the Japanese army, had gradually become a place of death.
If evacuation is allowed at this time, a large number of civilians can also be evacuated.
But that damn Tang Shengzhi.
There was no warship to stop the "Cumbria Breaking Waves", firstly because it was entering Nanjing, and secondly, mainly because of the British flag flying on board.
"Boss, there are still 20 minutes to reach Nanjing."
Schiller, captain of the Cumbria Breaking Waves, stepped up to the deck and said.
Of course, I have to call it "boss", this ship was originally chartered by Meng Shao.
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Daniel, you have to go into the city with me." ”
"Of course."
Without even thinking about it, Daniel replied, "I'm a person with a lot of work ethic, you pay for it, I do the work." If you have enough money, I'm even willing to go to Tokyo with you. ”
There are still advantages to working with someone who only knows money in his eyes, as long as you pay for it, you can definitely buy his "loyalty", of course, provided that you have the same work ethic as Daniel.
The "Cumbrian Breaking Waves" began to dock.
It can be seen that the anti-shore artillery on the river defense position is staring at the river surface.
On the position, you can see soldiers with loaded guns everywhere.
These soldiers were not only to guard against the surprise attack of the Japanese army, but also to prevent the people in Nanjing from leaving.
A captain of the national army came to the ship, and he was ordered to come and inquire about it.
At this time, a British ship came to Nanjing, which had to be surprising.
"They're British." Meng Shaoyuan personally negotiated with the captain: "I am their translator, and the British sent food and medicine to Nanjing. ”
"British? Deliver food and medicine? "The Captain thought it was a fantasy.
When did these foreigners become so kind: "Sir, by the order of Shangfeng, any ship entering Nanjing must be inspected. ”
"That's not going to work." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "The British won't agree." ”
"But that's what I was told."
"We have guarantors."
"Who?"
"Xiao Shan Order!"
"Who?" The captain suspected that he had misheard: "Which Xiao Shan order?" ”
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "How many Xiaoshan orders are there in Nanjing?" Deputy Commander of the Military Police, Commander of the Nanjing Garrison, Commander of the Air Defense, and Mayor of Nanjing, Director of the Police Department Xiao Shanling Xiao! ”
The captain was dazed.
Since Gu Zhenglun, the commander of the military police, went to Wuhan for medical treatment due to illness, Xiao Shanling became the number one person in the Nanjing military and police.
But this person actually said that Chief Xiao vouched for them?
"You, you wait, I'll go and confirm it."
The captain couldn't figure out the details, and he didn't dare to offend the person in front of him easily.
"We're waiting here." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I contacted Chief Xiao, and if he wanted to ask me who I was, he said that his creditor had arrived." ”
"Huh?"
The captain is stupid, and the affection for Chief Xiao still owes this young master's debt?
Meng Shaoyuan said solemnly: "That's right, creditor, just say that someone came to ask him about the heavy machine gun he owes." ”
"Meng? What's going on? ”
Daniel doesn't particularly understand.
"I'm going to find my backer." Meng Shaoyuan grinned: "Now wait on the boat." That man was a little captain, and he had to report to his superiors, and his superiors had to report to their superiors......"
……
Nanjing Military Police Headquarters.
"Commander Xiao, with the efforts of tens of thousands of migrant workers, all the Yuhuatai fortifications have been repaired."
"Okay, order the second regiment of the gendarmerie, the teaching regiment, and the training regiment to enter the fortifications and prepare for war with all their might." Xiao Shanling's face was solemn: "The Japanese army has fully broken through the first line of China's defense line, Nanjing has become the front line, and there is a possibility of war breaking out at any time." ”
"Yes!"
"Commander Xiao." His liaison staff officer Han Binghai walked over, his face was a little strange: "There's a call from Jiang Fang......
"What phone? Say, what do you do? ”
"That...... They say, "Your creditor is coming." ”
"What?" Xiao Shanling was stunned, and then became furious: "What nonsense, when did I owe someone money?" ”
The headquarters, which had been extremely busy just now, suddenly became quiet.
"Really, that's what the other side said."
Han Binghai said cautiously: "They said that the creditor came to ask you for a heavy machine gun." ”
"Nonsense, they are simply ......" Xiao Shanling just scolded this, and suddenly remembered something: "What do you say the creditor wants?" ”
"Heavy machine gun!"
"I see, it's that little scoundrel who is back." When he said this, a smile actually flashed at the corner of Xiao Shanling's mouth.
From the beginning of the implementation of the Battle of Nanjing to the present, Han Binghai didn't know how many times he hadn't seen Commander Xiao smile: "That person came on a British boat, and the river defense troops wanted to go on board to inspect it, and he said that you can vouch for him." ”
"Guarantee, guarantee." Xiao Shanling shook his head: "I'll vouch for him." ”
Han Binghai hurriedly reminded: "Commander Xiao, in case there is a problem on that ship......
"Others will, he won't." Xiao Shanling didn't have time to think about it and said: "This person is not only fine, but also specializes in checking the problem. Han Binghai, you go to the dock and bring him back in person. ”
"Yes."
"That's right." Xiao Shanling stopped him: "Remember, don't promise him anything, it's best not to even talk to him along the way, remember to remember." ”
Why?
Han Binghai was confused. However, when he left the headquarters, Xiao Shanling's instructions still floated again:
"You must remember, don't be deceived by him!"
……
More than an hour later.
Meng Shaoyuan appeared at the military police headquarters.
"Report!" His voice was extremely loud: "Commander Xiao, I, Meng Shaoyuan, are back!" ”
"Good boy!" Xiao Shanling, who was busy there, immediately put down his work as soon as he heard this familiar voice, came to the front, and looked up and down for a while:
"Good boy, I heard that you went to Shanghai, and I missed you for so long. Well, it's dark, but it's also strong. When you come back this time, do you bring me any gifts? ”
"Nope!" Meng Shaoyuan replied loudly: "Commander Xiao is upright, his sleeves are clean, Meng Shaoyuan does not dare to destroy Commander Xiao's name." ”
"Fuck, it's so justified to be stingy."
Xiao Shanling scolded with a smile, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Han Binghai's sad face who came in with him, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose: "Han Binghai, what's the matter?" ”
"Commander Xiao, I'm ......" Han Binghai couldn't say anything for a long time.
Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Commander Xiao, I'll help him answer, he promised to give me a total of three machine guns, five submachine guns, thirty boxes of ammunition, and ten boxes of grenades along the way!" ”
"What?" Xiao Shanling's eyes widened: "Han Binghai, you are a liaison staff officer, who gave you the courage to agree privately." ”
"I ......" Han Binghai was about to cry when he was aggrieved: "As soon as I received him, he said that he could guess what I did last night, how could I believe him?" He made a bet with me that a box of bullets ......"
"And you lost?"
"Lost." Han Binghai hung his head in frustration: "Then he raised again, saying that he could guess my daughter-in-law's character, if he wins, the bullets will be doubled, and if he loses, not only do he not want to, but he will also give us two boxes of bullets upside down......"
Then, Meng Shaoyuan won again; Then, his bet continues to double and double; Then, Han Binghai owed a lot of debt after arriving at the headquarters......
The psychology of gamblers is often like this.
"Get out, get out!" Xiao Shanling was angry: "The debt you owe, you pay it yourself, don't think about Lao Tzu's idea." ”
"Commander Xiao, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas." Meng Shaoyuan turned upside down and persuaded Xiao Shanling: "It's not boring on the road, make a joke with your subordinates." Of course, there is a debtor who is wronged, and what your subordinates owe, you can admit it. ”
"Get out!" Xiao Shanling opened his mouth and scolded: "You are a cheated thing, deceived me as a commander?" Would you believe it or not that I would shoot you right now? ”
"I believe it." Meng Shaoyuan still smiled: "Even if you shoot me, you still owe me a debt." By the way, I can see what you did before you went to bed last night......"
"It's nonsense, if you can know ......" Xiao Shan Linggang said this, and stopped suddenly: "Good boy, you deceived my subordinates, and you want me to take the bait, don't you?" ”
"Don't, Commander Xiao, it's so boring." Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice: "I seriously make a bet with you, I'm going to win, you have to admit the things that your subordinates lost to me, but I don't want you in vain, I'll tell you the current dynamics of the Japanese army." ”
Xiao Shanling's eyes lit up: "Really? ”
"Can I lie to you?"
"Okay, I'll fight you with this bet!"
……
Five minutes later.
"Meng Shaoyuan, Cheng, Cheng."
Xiao Shanling gave a thumbs up: "I lost, I'll give you weapons and ammunition later, let's say, intelligence." ”
"The 9th Division of the Japanese Army in Kanazawa has been divided in Suzhou, and the 6th Brigade of Akiyama Yoshiyoyuki was organized into the Akiyama Detachment to cross the Taihu Lake, and after converging with the 18th Brigade of Iide Xuanshi in Changzhou, it attacked the eastern direction of Nanjing along Jintan, Tianwangji, and Chunhua Town......"
Meng Shaoyuan told Xiao Shanling all the information he had.
Xiao Shanling's face became more and more solemn: "Your intelligence is very important, it seems that it is necessary to make some adjustments to the defense of Nanjing, come on!" ”
After Xiao Shan's order was issued, Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Commander Xiao, my intelligence is valuable, right?" When will the weapons and ammunition be given to me? ”
"Worth it, it's worth it." Xiao Shanling nodded again and again: "Guard battalion commander, order, immediately confine Meng Shaoyuan for me!" ”
"Ahh Xiao Shanling, you despicable and shameless villain! ”
