"Bravely kill 800 soldiers of the enemy, and resist the enemy's pride in poetry; Who pities the patriotism and tears, when it comes to the injustice of the Japanese slaves! —Xie Jinyuan.

October 30, 1937, the fourth day of the defense of the Sixing warehouse.

Here, it is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army.

The huge national flag on the top floor of the warehouse is still fluttering in the wind.

Because it was too close to the concession, the Japanese army did not dare to use large-caliber artillery to bombard indiscriminately, but they used gasoline and gas bombs to attack.

But no matter what kind of means the Japanese military uses, the Sixing warehouse is still standing still!

On the same day, the first batch of medicinal herbs used by Prince Nobuhito Takamatsunomiya of Japan to redeem his brother-in-law Tokugawa Honda secretly arrived in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan ordered Zhu Yanni to withdraw from the public concession to organize the reception.

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan reorganized the special detachment under his command.

The whole detachment was organized into five squadrons.

Tian Qi, Yuan Zhonghe, Zhu Yanni, Yue Zhenchuan, and Wei Yunzhe were each in charge of a squadron, the so-called combat squadron.

What is very special is that Tian Qi was temporarily unable to perform his duties because of his "injury", and the squadron under his command was temporarily in charge of Zhao Changle.

Wu Jingyi was ordered to personally command the undercover team.

Young Master Meng had just promised her the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Special Detachment" before, but there was no way to fulfill it.

Fortunately, Assistant Wu has long been accustomed to Young Master Meng's untrustworthy words.

After the reorganization was completed, the squadrons retreated to the designated places in batches.

And that's not all.

Meng Shaoyuan still had several armed forces in his hands.

The "Taihu Guerrilla Brigade" in Taihu Lake, the Taihu Lake Special Agent Training Class.

He also organized Song Deng, Pan Baolai, Sun Jian, Ma Dai, and Xu Zhu into a "youth special task force" and put them under his direct control.

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan's group was divided into three departments.

One faction is the "old man" headed by Tian Qi and others, and the first group of people to follow Meng Shaoyuan are called the "Bingzi line".

One faction is headed by Zhao Changle, Guo Rui and others, and is known as the "youth department".

Later, it was represented by Song Deng and others, and because most of them came out of the Hangzhou training class, they were called "Hangzhou Department".

In fact, the people in these three lines are all about the same age.

The reason for such a division is completely determined by the length of time that Meng Shaoyuan has been followed.

In addition, there is a special department:

The power commanded by Wu Jingyi.

Because of Wu Jingyi's background, this department is also known as the "internal department".

Lots of factions?

Sometimes, Meng Shaoyuan also thinks about this problem.

There were only a few subordinates before, and Meng Shaoyuan never thought of it.

But as the power grows, factional problems will certainly inevitably arise.

This is true of the entire military command.

Dai Li, no matter what faction you are, you will always take Dai Li's horse as the leader, and no one dares to act rashly.

Later, as soon as Dai Li died, everyone fought for power.

The situation of Meng Shaoyuan's group is similar.

As long as Meng Shaoyuan lives, he is the leader, everyone obeys his orders, and he dies without regrets.

In case of......

What if you hang up one day?

Whatever.

People are dead, and who knows what will happen next?

……

Creekside.

French-style three-storey building.

Arau, the butler, commanded the servants and put the dishes away one by one.

Whatever happened outside, it had nothing to do with Aarau.

He is a steward.

His responsibility is to manage the family well.

Aarau was actually still very dissatisfied.

There is too little servant.

Today, the honorable host will entertain guests here, and he must hold the banquet perfectly so that he will not lose sight of the host.

So after much deliberation by Aarau, he recruited another temporary servant.

If necessary, Yuri Ai can also help with the help of Yamashita in the owner's house.

Although it is rude to ask the guests to help, Arau always feels that Miss Yamashita eats at the host's house and lives in the host's house, so there seems to be no difference between her and the hostess, right?

Of course, this idea must not be known to Miss Zhu Yanni, otherwise, Aarau knew that he would be unlucky.

Fortunately, I heard that Miss Zhu Yanni was ordered to carry out a mission and will not come for a long time.

Hey, in Aarau's opinion, Miss Yamashita and Miss Zhu are both very good women, why hasn't the owner been a family yet, and wandering around all day long?

In Aarau's view, if the master does not start a family for a day, no matter what earth-shattering things he does, he is just wandering.

According to the owner's wishes, the French chef gave him a sum of compensation and sent him home, and Arau hired a new Chinese chef.

The host said, he is Chinese, what French food does he eat all day?

Arrau knew that the owner was just distressed that the price of hiring a French chef was too expensive.

After looking at the time, there are still two hours before the guests will arrive......

……

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson."

Yuria Yamashita closed the book and looked at the eight students in the class, she said slowly: "I remember when I first taught Japanese, there were more than forty students here, and some of them were urgently transferred to the front line after only one day of study, and I haven't seen them since.

Today, my last lesson for you, the Japanese language class, will be temporarily closed. I am Japanese, and I am sorry that my country brazenly launched a war, which has caused great harm to China and the Chinese people. Students, please accept my apology as a Japanese national. ”

After speaking, she bowed deeply to the eight students.

"Mr. Yamashita, it's not your fault." One student stood up and said, "Japanese and Japanese are different, and Chinese and Chinese are different. You don't have to apologize for those Japanese. ”

"Thank you." Yamashita Yuria raised her head with a smile on her face, but her tone was very solemn: "I don't know how many of you will survive when the war is over." I hope that what I have taught you will help you when you need it most, and please, gentlemen, please live well, please. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an agent rushed in: "Assemble, assemble urgently!" Target, four rows of warehouses! ”

Anything is coming again.

All eight students stood up and did not forget to bow to their teacher as they passed by Yuri Ai Yamashita.

Yuri Yamashita laughed and laughed, but then her tears flowed......

……

"Director Meng, urgent order." Assistant Wu walked into the office: "The general headquarters believes that the defense of the Sixing warehouse has ended successfully, and Xie Jinyuan's department should be evacuated in an orderly manner. The General Headquarters asked our military commander to immediately notify the Sixing Warehouse of the retreat news and assist Xie Bu in retreating safely. ”

"Got it."

It should come, and it will always come.

Xie Jinyuan's troops resisted for four days, inflicting heavy casualties on the Japanese army, causing a great impact on the international community, and inspiring the determination of the people of the whole country to resist the war to the end.

Moreover, there were two huge gas tanks on the south side of the new garbage bridge, which was close to the warehouse, and if the Japanese army were angry and took crazy measures to retaliate, if the gas canisters were shot, half of Shanghai would be reduced to ashes.

"Order, Sun Jian......"

Before the order was issued, Wu Jingyi had already said, "I'll go to the Sixing Warehouse." ”

"You?"

"Me." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "The various departments are still being reorganized, they are fighting continuously, they are very tired, and besides, I am familiar with the situation in the concession, I will go to inform them." I told my husband that I had to work late today. ”

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Tell Xie Jinyuan in detail the location and time of retreat, and I will respond in time." ”

"Okay."

……

Steward Qiu was the first to appear.

He introduced himself in English and said, "I'm here to check how the preparations for the banquet are going." ”

Aarau was angry in an instant.

Check the wine party? Is this a distrust of oneself?

This is actually a bit of a misunderstanding.

Madame Rose was also invited. She didn't know that Meng Shaoyuan had a housekeeper, and she heard that Meng Shaoyuan was going to invite a few guests today, so she was worried that Meng Shaoyuan would not be able to keep busy, so she specially asked Butler Qiu to see if there was anything she could do to help.

As a result, Steward Qiu regarded himself as a minister and used the word "inspection".

In his eyes, Meng Shaoyuan has always been a rude and rude guy, look at it, look at it, the family is good, why did you use a black maid?

In Greater Shanghai, blacks are not unusual at all, they are all servants.

How could Steward Qiu think that Alao's identity was actually the same as him?

"You are so rude, sir." Angry and with serious consequences, Arrau finally fulfilled his dream of being a steward, and never allowed anyone to challenge his authority:

"This is my master's home, and as my master's housekeeper, I will prepare everything in order, and we don't need an outsider to check our work."

Chamberlain?

Oh my God, Meng Shaoyuan, a vulgar and rude guy, actually let a black man be a housekeeper?

Steward Qiu didn't bother to pay attention to Ah Lao at all, he looked at the tableware on the table: "Have they all been washed carefully?" My wife, there is a high level of hygiene. ”

"Here, even a cockroach has been washed." Aarau sneered.

"Oh my God, there are cockroaches here?" Steward Qiu exclaimed exaggeratedly: "I can't imagine that when the guests were eating, a cockroach suddenly appeared, and I wanted to vomit when I thought of this scene." ”

"Please learn more science." Arau did not show weakness: "Even in the king's palace, cockroaches are tenacious creatures. Do you think that your master is more exaggerated than the king? What a rude guy! ”

"The one who is truly rude is you."

Steward Qiu was disdainful: "In such a small place, you actually want to have a treat?" How many guests? One? Or two? You should be glad that Madame is here. ”

"I don't see what to be thankful for......"

It is said that this debate between Chinese and British stewards lasted for almost an hour, and no one knows whether Steward Qiu defended the honor of the Chinese steward, or Alau retained the dignity of the British butler.

In short, after this, Steward Qiu and Aarau became lifelong enemies.
