Chapter 387: Insatiable
Meng Shaoyuan's judgment is rarely wrong.
Sure enough, the Japanese took the initiative to contact the military commanders and made an appointment with them to meet in the restaurant of the French in the Public Concession.
Meng Shaoyuan turned out to be a person,
And very punctual.
Outside the restaurant, there were seven or eight people standing.
It seems that all of them are Japanese spies.
The restaurant was chartered.
Even the waiters inside were not allowed to be present.
As soon as he entered, Meng Shaoyuan saw that the person sitting there was actually his "old acquaintance":
Kojiro Kawamoto!
He had heard the name of this Japanese more than once, and in the Hongkou incident, he directly confronted Kojiro Kawamoto.
And when he saw Meng Shaoyuan walking into the restaurant, Kojiro Kawamoto was obviously a little unnatural.
That encounter ended in his complete defeat.
His teacher was John Bruders Watson, an American psychology master, and Kojiro Kawamoto studied with Watson for a long time and thought that he had completely mastered psychology.
But that time he stood face to face with Meng Shaoyuan, but he was defeated.
Not only was his heart seen through by Meng Shaoyuan, but even Meng Shaoyuan knew that he had athlete's foot.
What could be more terrifying?
"Mr. Kawamoto, meet again." Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
"Ah, yes, meet again." Kojiro Kawamoto smiled.
The two psychologists are obviously using fake smiles to cover themselves, but they both have to laugh seriously.
"You still have money." As soon as he sat down, Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Look, I can charter the entire restaurant when we meet, I envy you too much." ”
Kojiro Kawamoto smiled: "If Mr. Meng is willing, he can do things for us, and you will become very rich." ”
"Oh, really?" Meng Shaoyuan actually took it seriously: "How much money can you give me?" ”
Started playing psychological temptation again?
Kojiro Kawamoto sneered in his heart, but said with a serious face: "I think Mr. Meng's price is at least 500,000 yen." If we can provide important information in the future, we will also give money. ”
Why did Meng Shaoyuan's face flash with a look of disappointment?
Kojiro Kawamoto was curious.
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Originally, you weren't very generous...... Well, if you can tell me the new battle plan of the Japanese army, I will give you a million yen! ”
Well?
Meng Shaoyuan's words are not over: "If you become our military commander, I will give you another two million yen!" ”
This one......
Talking about money with Young Master Meng?
Too hurtful, right?
Now, a Meng Shaoyuan is richer than the entire Japanese Shanghai secret service.
Kojiro Kawamoto was a little embarrassed: "Ah, Mr. Meng is really good at telling jokes. ”
Another small heel fall.
Meng Shaoyuan picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured himself wine: "Mr. Kawamoto, you are a spy, and I am also a spy, you said that our two countries are at war, and the two spies are tasting wine here, is it a little inappropriate?" ”
"yes, we're supposed to be enemies." Kawamoto Kojiro nodded: "And you are still a heavy general of the military command, I noticed, you came alone today, I can take this opportunity to kill you and get rid of a strong enemy for us, do you think this is a good plan?" ”
"Good, good!" Meng Shao took a sip of wine.
Outside, something suddenly changed.
More than a dozen patrols appeared, and all eight Japanese spies were called together, and after repeated investigations, they actually ...... Handcuff them and take them away!
An inspector also pushed the door in, nodded at Meng Shaoyuan, and then went out again and closed the door.
Kojiro Kawamoto's complexion changed, completely changed.
"Now, we're even." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Here, there is only you and me, no one will threaten me, and no one will disturb our conversation." ”
"Mr. Meng, I'm convinced." Kojiro Kawamoto looked a little helpless: "You can actually mobilize patrols to do things for you?" I really didn't expect that. Since coming to Shanghai, you are the best opponent I have ever met! ”
"Too polite, too polite." Meng Shaoyuan's face was enjoyed.
The two of them said a word, and neither of them mentioned Tokugawa Honda, as if they had come today to chat.
After drinking a glass of wine, Meng Shaoyuan put down the glass: "Ah, Mr. Kawamoto, thank you for your hospitality, but I think I'm leaving." ”
"Let's drink a little longer." Kojiro Kawamoto picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass for Meng Shaoyuan: "The battle between our two countries is getting more and more intense, I'm afraid it's rare to have a chance to sit down and drink together in the future." ”
You can't hold it back, can you?
You're probably more anxious than anyone else right now, aren't you?
Meng Shaoyuan kept sneering in his heart.
"Look." Kojiro Kawamoto finally spoke: "In the battle of Tomoenhama, your army showed great valor, not only recapturing Taoyuanhama, but also capturing one of our lieutenants. ”
"yes, yes." Meng Shaoyuan did not deny it at all: "In the spirit of humanitarianism, our army made every effort to rescue this Zhongzuo who was seriously injured at the time, but I am afraid that life and death will be decided by God." Why, Mr. Kawamoto would be interested in a Shaozo? ”
"I think I'd better tell the truth in front of you." Kojiro Kawamoto showed such "sincerity": "This Nakasa, whose name is Tokugawa Honta, is ...... He is a descendant of the famous Tokugawa family in Japan and the grandson of Tokugawa Yoshiki, the last shogun of the shogunate. ”
True, this is indeed true.
Sometimes, however, the truth is not necessarily the truth!
Don't lie in front of Meng Shaoyuan, lying will definitely be seen by him, all, Kojiro Kawamoto chose the way to tell the truth.
Half the truth.
"I also know a little bit about the history of Japan." Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Tokugawa Qingxi, the last general of the Japanese shogunate, it seems that he was still made a duke, right?" ”
"Yes." Kojiro Kawamoto said: "Although he is the last shogun, he is still highly evaluated, and his grandson is captured on the battlefield in China, which we do not want to see." ”
"Look, look, how good we are to be honest with each other." Meng Shaoyuan praised repeatedly: "You told me the truth, I think I must help you." It's a bit complicated, though. You know, there are people within us who are corrupt and insatiable and don't come up with some real good......"
"I understand, I understand." Kojiro Kawamoto hurriedly said, "In order to redeem the grandson of the Duke, we are willing to pay 300,000 yen." ”
That's already quite a lot.
Meng Shaoyuan looked embarrassed: "300,000? A lot. But it's still not enough. Mr. Kawamoto, as I said, those people are very greedy. ”
The most insatiable is probably his Young Master Meng himself.
Kojiro Kawamoto smiled: "Mr. Meng, I hope you can figure it out, although Tokugawa Honta's identity is precious, the Duke has a total of nine sons and eleven daughters, and these children have countless offspring. There are just too many grandsons like Tokugawa Honda. If Tokugawa Honda really can't come back, his parents will be sad except for regret, and I don't think it will have any impact on the entire family of the Duke. ”
"Oh my God, so many." Meng Shaoyuan exclaimed exaggeratedly: "When Tokugawa celebrates his death, there must be a lot of people who help him cry." ”
"In the second year of Taisho, the Duke passed away, and there were too many people to send him on his last journey at that time."
"yes, yes." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "For such a huge family, 300,000 is already a lot...... However, if you want to redeem Tokugawa Honda, I also have a list here......"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, opened it and read:
"Sulfonamides, three thousand vials...... Morphine, a thousand sticks...... 10,000 aspirin and 10,000 atropine each...... Quinine, 2,000 grains...... Vaseline ointment, fifteen hundred pounds...... Ambulance bags, 5,000 ......"
Kojiro Kawamoto was dumbfounded when he heard this, and finally waited until Meng Shaoyuan finished reading, and he swallowed hard: "Mr. Meng, you are crazy, you are really crazy." Although the descendants of the Tokugawa family are expensive, they are definitely not worth it. I know that the Chinese army is seriously short of medicines, but do you think that a Tokugawa Honda will make us agree to take out these supplies? ”
"No, of course not." Meng Shaoyuan took out another piece of paper from his pocket: "So in addition to these medicines, I also need watches, water pipes, cotton clothes, ......."
"Mr. Meng, this is the end of the negotiation." Kojiro Kawamoto categorically interrupted him: "Your appetite is too big, not to mention precious medicines, even if these watches and the like, you are still opening your mouth." I have no right to accede to your unreasonable demands. ”
"I know you don't have the right, you're just here to test and conduct preliminary negotiations." Meng Shaoyuan put down the two lists: "Take them back and give your boss a good look." ”
"No, my boss won't say yes."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and asked, "So, what about Prince Xuanren of Takamatsu Palace?" ”
Kawamoto Kojiro's face changed, and then he smiled bitterly: "You already know? ”
"Of course I do, and I know far more than you think I do." Meng Shaoyuan said such a very awkward sentence: "Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito is the richest man in Japan, and Tokugawa Honda is also the most beloved younger brother of his wife Kikuko, I heard that His Excellency the Prince respects his wife very much, so he will be willing to give these." These things are nothing more than a drop in the bucket for your Prince. ”
"You've known for a long time, but you've been acting with me all the time." Kojiro Kawamoto was very helpless: "I said it, I have no right to agree to you, but I can inform His Excellency the Prince of your request in the shortest possible time." We'll be able to get feedback by this evening at the latest. ”
"Okay, okay." Meng Shaoyuan picked up the wine glass again: "You go, I'll wait for you here." ”
Kojiro Kawamoto sighed, why did he let himself meet such a terrible opponent?
