Lost and Spy

Chapter 393 Changes in Attitude
No Chinese has ever dared to speak to them in such a tone here.

This is simply a naked threat.

Sir Greenwood's face became distorted because of his anger: "I solemnly tell you that you will be punished for these words. I will lodge the most solemn protest to your government!"

Someone knocked lightly on the door.

Then a young and pretty foreign woman came in, still holding a document in her hand, which she handed to Sir Greenwood.

Jazz calmed down his anger a bit, and signed the document: "Lisa, without my consent, no one is allowed to enter for the time being."

"Okay, sir."

The woman named Lisa left with the documents.

"Mr. Meng." Moyes finally calmed down: "We don't know about Mr. Tony's situation, and we don't know whether your so-called confession was made by Mr. Tony. What I can tell you is that since the war between China and Japan , The concession has always strictly abided by the principle of neutrality, and the situations you mentioned will not happen, and I don't know why Mr. Tony said that."

"I need you to release Tony immediately." Sir Greenwood felt that he must not give in to these Chinese people, otherwise they would become even more lawless: "As for your accusations, we will make an assessment."

In his opinion, this is already his biggest concession.

"As I said, Mr. Tony doesn't want to come back." A smile flashed across Meng Shaoyuan's face: "Ah, maybe my tone just now was too intense, I apologize."

Ok?
Why did the attitude change all of a sudden?
Sinclair was very strange. In his perception, Meng Shaoyuan was definitely not the kind of person who would easily admit defeat, especially since it seemed that he still had some upper hand.

But that's exactly what Meng Shaoyuan did: "About the Tony spy case, you can investigate it carefully. I believe the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will give a reasonable explanation. I apologize again for the trouble I have caused you, and then I will Say goodbye first."

Then, he really left.

What's the situation?
The aggressive Lai Xingshi questioned him, but before the confrontation started, he was persuaded?

Sinclair was dumbfounded.

No, no.

This is definitely not Meng Shaoyuan's character.

Sir Greenwood and Moyes also have some inexplicable.

It seems that today will not be peaceful. This man surnamed Meng will use this incident to make a big fuss to achieve his ulterior motives.

But who would have thought that he would suddenly give up?

"I have always believed that one must be tough when dealing with the Chinese." Sir Greenwood sneered, "They are like sheep in tiger skin. Once their tiger skin is removed, they will expose their cowardly side. !"

"Your Excellency." Moyes frowned: "Don't you think there is something wrong with this? A person will give up his appeal without warning? Is there any conspiracy here?"

"No, Mr. Moyes." Sir Greenwood said confidently, "I have been in China for many years, and I will step down next year, and you have not been in China for a long time, and you are very likely to succeed me. , as the general director of the Ministry of Industry, then I must give you some useful suggestions.

These Chinese officials, they will use threats to achieve their shameless goals, and what we have to do is never back down, and we can use their government to deal with them again and again, this is our strongest weapons, once we protested to their government, they will be afraid, especially at the critical moment of the war between China and Japan. "

Well, it sounds like this is indeed the case. When Sir Greenwood once again proposed to lodge a solemn protest with the National Government, the man surnamed Meng was really scared.

Before, he might just hold on there.

Moyes is still a little worried: "But what worries me is that he seems to have very sufficient evidence. If it is really announced, it will cause a lot of trouble to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and our credibility will also decline. Even It will lead to serious protests from the national government."

"That's Tony's own business." Of course Sir Greenwood felt a little worried, but he would never show it on his face: "We will categorically deny this matter. As for Sir Roters, and Tagawa Wu Zhilang's accusation, they can't come up with more sufficient evidence."

I wish so, I wish so.

Moyes certainly hopes that the influence of this matter will not continue to expand.You know, Sir Greenwood will step down in January next year, and the successor is largely himself.

He wouldn't be too happy about leaving a mess for himself to clean up.

He looked at Sinclair: "Mr. Saul Ratus, do you know this person? Do you think he is really not going to pursue this matter, or does he have other plans?"

"Of course I know this man." Sinclair smiled bitterly: "Please believe in my judgment, Meng will never let it go. If he can't achieve his goal, God knows what crazy things he will do. Your Excellency, Mr. President, from my personal point of view, I suggest that you should invite him back to discuss a solution."

"Please come back? Ask him to come back?" Sir Greenwood felt incredible to the extreme: "I don't quite understand what you think, Mr. Solratus. You want us to invite a Chinese back? Let him continue to be with us Are you proud of yourself? No, no, I will never do such a ridiculous thing."

Sinclair shrugged.

Well, well, I have already fulfilled my responsibility, if something happens in the future, don't blame yourself.

You guys, now you're dealing with a rogue...

……

"Director Meng."

"I said Assistant Wu, did you buy this new dress?" Meng Shaoyuan looked it up and down: "Hey, you took ten gold bars from Xu Chengbo without my consent, did you get a kickback from it?"

Wu Jingyi gave him a blank look.

My brain is broken again.

But seeing that Meng Shaoyuan was in good spirits, he asked casually, "The negotiation with the Ministry of Industry was successful? Did they agree to your request?"

"No, they rejected it outright."

Ok?
Wu Jingyi didn't quite understand, she went there excitedly and came back disheartened, why did she still look so happy?Could it be that this Young Master Meng has changed his gender?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't care what she thought: "What happened to the Italian? How much money did you get from him?"

"A dollar."

"No way." Meng Shaoyuan called out as soon as he heard it: "It's only so little money until now?"

"How long is it?"

"Scratch, let me see how hard he is."

Meng Shaoyuan said viciously: "By the way, Assistant Wu, you can do something for me."

There he ordered.

Wu Jingyi's face turned blue and red after hearing this: "What do you want to do? I can't do this."

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. This matter is very important." Meng Shaoyuan has no room for negotiation: "And the sooner the better."

Wu Jingyi had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

How did you allow yourself to be such a boss?

This thing is too much...

"Okay, what's going on at Sixing Warehouse?" Meng Shaoyuan asked seriously.

"Xie Jinyuan belongs to the first battalion, 400 people, pretending to be [-]. They have built fortifications in the Sixing Warehouse and are determined to stick to it. The Sixing Warehouse has become an isolated island. The west and north are occupied by the Japanese army. The east and west On the other side is the International Settlement, and that is the only way they can retreat."

When talking about the Sixing Warehouse, Wu Jingyi's face also became serious: "From 6 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army launched a tentative attack, and the two sides launched firepower. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack. Therefore, the Japanese army did not use artillery to attack, which to a large extent also relieved the pressure on the defenders.

In the fierce battle for about two hours, the defenders blew up two Japanese tanks and wiped out more than [-] enemies. The Sixing Warehouse is still in our hands.The people in our concession were all surprised when they heard the gunshots, and they all inquired, but they still don't know what kind of army our defenders are.My agent, Zhao Changle, has risked his life to enter the Sixing Warehouse, and is in charge of connecting voices, waiting for the next step. "

"Has Zhao Changle gone in?" Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Let outside agents carry out harassing attacks on the Japanese army and indirectly support the Sixing Warehouse. But tell them to pay attention to safety and withdraw after a few shots. If you really want to confront the Japanese army No, we can't beat them.

Mobilize all newspapers and radio stations to publicize the news of the heroic fighting of our Sixing Warehouse defenders, and encourage the determination of the people across the country to resist the war to the end.Assistant Wu, I asked you to do that just now, so that the defenders can withdraw smoothly in the future. Although you feel a little embarrassed, think about it, there are so many brothers. "

"Director Meng, I understand." Wu Jingyi said calmly, "I will do as you said."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently.

He is powerless to change the entire battle situation, but he has a way to change the fate of some people.

A rogue is a rogue.

At least, this rascal himself is really doing something for the country.

"By the way, Director Dai asked you to go to his place at 04:30."

"Understood." Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time: "Time is running out, Assistant Wu, do what I said immediately, don't delay for a moment."

Well, don't think about it, it should be to arrange the work later.

After all, everyone knows that Shanghai can no longer defend at this level.

As soon as the words fell, the faint gunshots began to come again.

Is that the start of a new Japanese attack on the Sixing Warehouse?
"Bravely killed the enemy's [-] soldiers, and the heroism of resisting the enemy was expressed in poetry; whoever pityed the patriotic thousand lines of tears, said that the Japanese slaves are not fair."

This was written by Commander Xie Jinyuan to motivate the soldiers.

Four rows of warehouses.

Hold on, brethren, brothers have a good show for you in the International Settlement!
