The lion is not only opening its mouth, but it is also opening its bloody mouth!

With such a huge amount of supplies, I am afraid that the Japanese will not be able to figure it out, how can the Chinese side open its mouth?

Meng Shaoyuan not only spoke, but was also very determined.

It's actually a business.

Business, haggling is normal.

Therefore, he added 50% of the price to the original psychological transaction price to use for bargaining.

Isn't there such a saying in my own time? "Suzhou people do business, kill half price!"

Today, I will be a native of Suzhou.

The Japanese have to report there.

After all, no one can afford such a large expense.

I guess it's a mess there.

"Someone's coming!"

Even the waiter was blown away by Kojiro Kawamoto before, and now the entire restaurant has become empty, and Meng Shaoyuan has called for a long time and no one has come.

Damn, do you have to cook your own meals?

Meng Shaoyuan was extremely dissatisfied......

……

Japan, Tokyo, Takamatsunomiya Prince Nobuhito's Palace.

"Kikuko, Honda-kun has news."

"What? It's true? Kikuko, who was sitting there in tears, was surprised and delighted when she heard the news.

"Yes." I don't know why, Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito's face is not so good-looking: "I just received a telegram and it was confirmed that Honda-kun fell into the hands of the Shina people. ”

Kikuko was startled, and tears flowed down again.

Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito still loves his wife very much: "Don't be sad, Honda-kun is still alive, and the people of Shina already know his identity, so they promised to release him by paying a ransom." ”

Hope, rising all at once, Kikuko couldn't wait to say, "Then what are you waiting for, my lord?" Give them all the ransom they wanted. ”

"It's not that simple." Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito looked a little embarrassed: "They are too greedy, do you know what kind of demands they make?" Morphine alone, they need a thousand ......"

"Then give them, give them them."

Kikuko has no idea how much a thousand morphines are: "It's just a little medicine." ”

"Medicines? That's not just about medicines. Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito patiently explained: "I can do what they want, but that is helping the people of China, the imperial holy war is ongoing, if this news leaks out, it will be a very big blow to the dignity and trust of the imperial family." ”

Kikuko's tears were uncontrollable at all, and "brushed" flowed: "My lord, Hondajun has lived in my house since he was a child, and he has always been my most beloved brother, his mother, who passed away very early, in the last days of her life, she held my hand, please take good care of Honda-kun, if something happens to Hondajun, I really don't know how to live......"

"Let me think again, let me think again."

Prince Nobuhito Takamatsunomiya was distraught.

Although the demands made by the Chinese are shameless, as the richest man in all of Japan, he can still get them. All he worries about is what happens next.

This is a holy war waged by the Empire, and the fate of the Empire is at stake, and the Imperial Family, headed by His Majesty the Emperor, has expressed its full support for the war.

Moreover, he entered the military command department as a staff officer.

If word spreads that royals are funding Chinese......

Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito didn't dare to imagine it......

……

Meng Shaoyuan was really hungry.

He found some bread, dry, and unpalatable.

In this day and age, it would be nice if there was a takeaway.

Kojiro Kawamoto still didn't show up.

There is no hurry.

Such a huge number, where did they themselves do the Lord?

Always give them time.

It's boring to stay alone in a restaurant and just wait.

He stood up and walked out of the dining room.

Outside, the sun was shining.

Standing here, who would have thought that one of the most tragic wars in human history was going on outside the concession?

A few patrols ate opposite the restaurant, and as soon as they saw Meng Shaoyuan coming out, they immediately smiled and nodded to him.

This is all arranged by Mr. Commissioner of Police to protect him.

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that he had been able to call the wind and rain in the Shanghai Tang Public Concession, right?

Not far from the side, there is a wonton stall, and the stall is watched by a woman in her thirties, with a seven or eight-year-old child, with a shoeshine box at her feet.

Business doesn't look very good.

"Let's have a bowl of ravioli." Meng Shaoyuan walked over.

"Okay, boss, wait a minute."

As soon as she saw the business, the woman immediately became busy.

"Boss, do you want to shine your shoes?"

The kid asked timidly.

Meng Shaoyuan hesitated: "Okay." ”

The kid was excited.

"You, mother and son?" Meng Shaoyuan asked curiously.

"yes, boss, my son." The woman speaks with an Anhui accent.

"Where's your man?"

"It's at war."

Fight?

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned: "Which unit?" ”

"Boss, your ravioli." The woman put a bowl of wontons in front of Meng Shaoyuan: "From the 44th Division, second lieutenant platoon commander." There was a war in Shanghai, and my man's troops came here. My mother-in-law has always been worried about her son's safety, not eating and sleeping well, so I wanted to look for it in Shanghai, but I never thought that as soon as I arrived in Shanghai, my luggage would be stolen. I took my son with me, but I really didn't have a way to live, and then someone told me to find the Liuhe Hall, and the people in the hall helped me set up such a stall. ”

Those who come to Shanghai from other places to break into the world often have their own guild halls, such as the "Ningbo Guild Hall" in Ningbo and the "Liuhe Guild Hall" in Anhui, which were once very famous.

Once a fellow villager is in trouble, as long as you find them, you will be more or less helpful.

In particular, this "Liuhe Hall" is very united, and in the past few times Hui merchants and foreigners have gone all out. It is only in recent years that it has gradually begun to decline.

44th Division?

That was the main force of the Central Army, the troops that were put into the battlefield in the early days of the Battle of Songhu, bravely killed the enemy, and made great contributions, and the division commander Chen Yong was also credited with great merit.

However, the casualties were also heavy.

Like this woman's husband, the second lieutenant platoon commander, charging in front and retreating in the rear, I am afraid that there will be less luck.

……

"Your Excellency, have you made your decision?"

Kikuko really couldn't wait any longer: "I'm willing to take out all my dowries, as long as I can save the Honda army, whatever price you want me to pay." ”

Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito loves his wife very much, and he also knows his wife's temper very well, once he decides on something, no one can persuade her.

If something really happens to Tokugawa Honda this time, I'm afraid that his wife will commit suicide on a hunger strike.

She did exactly that.

I can't take care of it.

Get the people out first, and we'll talk about that later.

However, with so many medicines, it is definitely not possible to get them together in a day or two.

Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito made his own decision: "Kikuko, please rest assured, I will definitely rescue Honda-kun." I will send a telegram to Shanghai, agreeing to the request of the Chinese people, and delaying as long as possible so that I can have time to collect supplies and deliver them to Shanghai. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Kikuko's tears flowed again: "I know that this decision is not easy for you, and you are my benefactor. But I'm worried about Honda-kun's physical ......"

"Don't worry, I will let the Shanghai side give the Chinese a batch of medicines first, specifically for Bendojun."

……

The taste of the ravioli is average and salty.

Meng Shaoyuan was also really hungry, no matter what the taste was, he ate it cleanly and put down the bowl: "You just came to Shanghai to do business, I'm afraid you are not familiar with it, the taste of Shanghainese people is light, and your stuffing is slightly salty." ”

"Thank you, sir, for your advice."

The woman thanked her repeatedly.

The leather shoes were also polished, and as soon as Meng Shaoyuan wanted to pay, he saw four gangsters walking over at a glance, and as soon as they came over, they kicked a stool away first: "Fuck, I won't let you drive on Yuyuan Road, you came here?" Tell you, if you don't give money, you won't be able to do business anywhere in Shanghai! ”

It's a hooligan who collects protection money again!

The woman begged repeatedly: "Master, I have just opened here......"

"Collect money." Meng Shaoyuan got up, took out a large ticket, and put it on the table.

Those hooligans saw that the money was green in their eyes, and they were about to come over and grab it, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly smiled, leaned over and whispered a few words.

When the rascal's face changed dramatically when he heard this, he quickly bowed his head again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "In the future, no one can move this stall." Also, as soon as their mother and son came, their luggage was stolen, help me find out, who did it, fuck, dare to steal the family members of the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, and cut off one of his hands for me. ”

"Yes, sir, I will do it." The hooligan leader was respectful.

The woman, and her child, were stunned.

What the hell is this young man......

……

Night falls.

The Greater Shanghai Public Concession in the night is still full of lights, drunk and dreaming of death.

The door to the dining room opened.

Kojiro Kawamoto walked in.

Came alone.

"Mr. Meng, I've been waiting for a long time." As soon as he came in, Kojiro Kawamoto bowed.

"It's okay, if you can make money, let me wait a little longer."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

"How is Honda-kun doing now?"

"There is no room for optimism, and our doctors will make sure he survives."

"Here are some medicines, please take them back, but I must tell you that this is for Tokugawa Hondo."

"Don't worry, I can still guarantee that."

Meng Shaoyuan was just as reluctant as Tokugawa Hondo died.

That's white money.

Kojiro Kawamoto hesitated for a moment: "Regarding the ransom you wanted, can you discuss it again?" ”

"No way!" Meng Shaoyuan refused.

Flatly refuse, show your determination, and then reluctantly give in.

It's the trick to doing business.

Kojiro Kawamoto sighed: "Okay, but it takes time for us to raise so many medicines, so during this time, I hope that Tokugawa Honda can be properly taken care of by you......"

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly wanted to slap himself.

Aren't you stupid to have less X?
