Chapter 124: Return to Shanghai
"Young master, you can be regarded as coming back, I have always heard that the Japanese have occupied Nanjing again, we have been worried, seeing that you are safe and sound, we can finally let go of this heart." After two months, Lu Yuan finally returned to Shanghai and returned to his residence. Seeing Lu Yuan's safe return, Aunt Fuberfu, who had been worried, was relieved, and Schuchmann finally met with his family, and Hogg's family also received the letter that Schuchman brought back.
"Fu Bo, I'll go take a bath first, you help me make this call to find Xu Mumu, and say that we will meet in the old place at the old time." Lu Yuan deliberately avoided Shu Heman, and secretly told Fu Bo a few words, and then took the change of clothes handed by Aunt Fu to the bathroom. Meeting with Xu Huanshan was something Lu Yuan decided on his way back to Shanghai, because he wanted to hand over the photos and materials he had obtained from Luka to the underground party, and he believed that the underground party would be very willing to give those photos and materials to their superiors.
"Schuchmann, I'm going to Hansen, you can stay at home with Mary and them, and I'll be back before dinner." Lu Yuan, who had changed his clothes, refused to be accompanied by Schuhman, left the residence alone, and strolled all the way towards Hansen's bar. Compared to the previous Shanghai, there are many more homeless refugees on the streets of Shanghai now, but there are still many people who are as drunk and dreaming as before, and Hansen's bar is already crowded with drinkers even if it is not yet dark.
"Lu, God, you're back." When Lu Yuan walked into the bar, he was immediately seen by Hansen behind the bar, and after giving Lu Yuan a hug, Hansen took Lu Yuan to the office behind the bar. "Lu, you must drink this cup for the civilians you helped in Nanjing." Without saying a word, Han Sen poured Lu Yuan a full glass of whiskey, and only looked at Lu Yuan directly, with the meaning that Lu Yuan would break off his friendship with Lu Yuan if he didn't drink it.
Lu Yuan was helpless, so he had to drink it all in front of him, and Han Sen's face showed a smile again. "Hansen, I'm going to Germany with Captain Luca, what do you have to tell me?" Lu Yuan put down the wine glass, took the cigarette handed by Hansen and lit it, and then said to the other party. "I plan to stay in Germany for three months to six months, if you have anything that I need to bring to Germany, it's best to prepare in advance, maybe I'll leave Shanghai next week."
Hansen didn't speak, but picked up the lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth, and after taking a hard puff, Hansen said abruptly, "It's been more than ten years since I left Germany, and my family has no one in Germany, if you have free time after arriving in Germany, maybe you can help me go to this place to deliver flowers." Han Sen gave Lu Yuan an address, and specifically explained that it was a cemetery, and Lu Yuan already understood what Han Sen handed over to him.
The atmosphere seemed a little dull, and Lu Yuan suddenly smiled, "Hansen, I may need you to help me get some urgent things, such as thick American combat uniforms, American-style paratrooper military boots, M1911 pistols and a large number of bullets." Before I come back, you can send someone to send these things to my house and give them to Fauber, and if you can, I hope you can help me get 12.7 caliber ammunition for the American M2 heavy machine gun, and I want 30,000 rounds. ”
The M2 heavy machine gun that Lu Yuan mentioned is the famous Browning heavy machine gun, which has been equipped with the US military since 1932, has a 12.7 caliber, and is powerful, which is the most powerful infantry heavy weapon that Lu Yuan can remember at present. Lu Yuan only needs bullets and no guns, first, he doesn't want to attract Hansen's attention, and he also came because he already has a vague idea, in which only bullets play a key role rather than the heavy machine gun itself.
Hearing Lu Yuan say that he wanted 30,000 rounds of large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets, Hansen was also shocked, not to mention that the M2 heavy machine gun is a weapon restricted by the US military from exporting, just the 30,000 rounds of M2 heavy machine gun bullets also made people sweat when they heard it. "Lu, what do you want so many heavy machine gun bullets for? Do you have an M2 heavy machine gun in your hand? Han Sen asked Lu Yuan rhetorically, since the first contact with Lu Yuan, Han Sen has been collecting information related to Lu Yuan, he even knows about Xu Huanshan, but he has never been able to figure out Lu Yuan's true origin.
"Mr. Hansen, all I can say is that I want those bullets to be useful, but I can't tell you anything specific now, because it's just an idea of mine, and even I don't know what the outcome will be until the idea is concrete." Lu Yuan smiled at Han Sen, who looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously, with his understanding of Lu Yuan, Han Sen felt that Lu Yuan didn't seem to be joking with himself.
"Well, then I'll not ask, but I can't guarantee that I'll get that many bullets. As for the rest of the things, no problem, 2 months, give me 2 months, and I can get them and send them to your house. Hansen didn't dare to pack a ticket for Lu Yuan, because he didn't know if he could get so many heavy machine gun bullets, as for other things, for Hansen, it was easy to get.
Before leaving, as a gift, Lu Yuan gave Hansen a Japanese-style southern pistol that he had captured in Nanjing, which made Hansen laugh at this Japanese-style officer's gun for a while. Walking out of Hansen's bar slowly, Lu Yuan saw Xu Huanshan standing on the side of the road in a suit and leather shoes at a glance, and secretly glanced at the other party, Lu Yuan pretended to be casual and walked slowly down the street like the café in front.
There were not many people in the café, Lu Yuan picked a slightly remote position and sat down, and before the coffee was served, Xu Huanshan followed into the café. "Lao Xu, you look much more comfortable in this outfit than when you pull a rickshaw, it seems that your underground party has sufficient funds for a while." Looking at Xu Huanshan, who was sitting down opposite him, Lu Yuan made fun of the other party, which made Xu Huanshan very annoyed but helpless.
"You kid don't talk about those useless things, let's talk about it, why are you in such a hurry to call me out? Also, why did the housekeeper of your family say on the phone that he was looking for Xu Mumu? What does Xu Mumu mean? In order to hide the anger in his heart, Xu Huanshan put sugar in his coffee while talking, and put three or four pieces in a row.
"Isn't your underground party covered with clouds and mountains all day long, so I will give you the name of Xu Mumu, so that even if something goes wrong on my side, it will definitely not affect you." Lu Yuan picked up the coffee cup and smiled at Xu Huanshan, but Xu Huanshan knew that the name Xu Mumu would never be just for secrecy and safety as Lu Yuan said. "Okay, I won't joke with you, I called you out this time, I really have something to look for you, and I can't think of anyone else for a while."
Lu Yuan, who put down the coffee cup, sighed, and then said to Xu Huanshan, "I just came back from Nanjing, and I have been in Nanjing for 2 months since October. I know that there must be people in your underground party in Nanjing, but you may not know more about what happened in Nanjing than I do, I said that I have here photos and materials of what the Japanese army did after entering the city, I wonder if your underground party is interested? Lu Yuan's words made Xu Huanshan immediately tense his body and nerves, with his understanding of Lu Yuan, he knew that Lu Yuan was not joking with himself.
Xu saw something from Xu Huanshan's wavering gaze, and Lu Yuan immediately took out a thick paper bag from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Xu Huanshan. "Here are some photos I got from a special channel when I was in Nanjing, you can take a look at them first, there are many more such photos in my briefcase." Perhaps because Lu Yuan's tone was a little heavy, Xu Huanshan reached out and took the paper bag, and actually calmed down for a few seconds before slowly opening the paper bag.
"How many more photos like this do you have in your hand, I want them all, I want them all." When Xu Huanshan looked at Lu Yuan again, Lu Yuan found that the other party's eyes were already red, and there was even more hatred in his eyes. Lu Yuan nodded at the other party, handed his briefcase to the other party's hand, and then said to Xu Huanshan.
"I hope that you can make good use of these photos and materials to expose the ugly face of the Japanese, not only to let the Chinese people know the ugliness of the Japanese, but also to let the international community know what happened in Nanjing. Maybe this war will continue for a long time, but at least let the people know what kind of opponent they will face, and know that the saying that man will conquer heaven is not a myth and legend. Lu Yuan's words before leaving have been recalled in Xu Huanshan's heart, although he doesn't know how Lu Yuan got these photos and information, but Xu Huanshan knows that Lu Yuan is definitely not the only one who did these things in Nanjing.
After separating from Xu Huanshan, Lu Yuan walked along the street for a long time before stopping a rickshaw on the side of the street and returning to his residence before dinner. In the next three or four days, Lu Yuan stayed at home honestly and didn't go, but reports of attacks on Japanese expatriates or Japanese soldiers began to appear in the newspapers, Lu Yuan only smiled slightly when he heard it, he knew that these things should be related to Xu Huanshan and them, which was obviously revenge from the underground party.
"Schuchmann, we're almost rested, shouldn't we go out for a walk, and by the way, prepare some travel expenses for our trip to Germany." The successive reports in the newspaper made Lu Yuan a little unable to sit still, Lu Yuan, who had no intention of being idle, pulled Schuhman away from his family and went straight to Hansen's bar. Hansen's men began to gather information everywhere, and Lu Yuan and Schuchmann were also doing recovery training in their backyards, preparing to attack the Japanese merchants in Shanghai.
