Lost and Spy

Chapter 456 Difficult task
What Meng Shaoyuan said is not wrong, it is not so easy to leave Shanghai.

Moreover, it seems that Lu Jianping's death may not be as unjust as imagined.

"Everyone." Meng Shaoyuan said frankly: "I came here today to make friends with you, so I explained why Lu Jianping was killed so clearly, and I hope you can understand our difficulties. Shanghai is lost, and the Japanese army is rushing towards our capital. Marching, what is needed now is that all walks of life in our country work together to fight against the war together.

The business community is the most important weapon of our country. In the future, the victory of the War of Resistance and the construction of this country will depend on you.Even if you leave now, where can you go?Hongkong?Nanyang?United States?If the country is gone, even if you go to the ends of the earth, what's the point?Where to go, you guys decide for yourself. "

These words can be regarded as heartfelt.

Li Ge asked: "Mr. Meng, I would like to ask, if we stay, some of them will become traitors, such as me, what should Mr. Meng do?"

"I will kill them!" Meng Shaoyuan replied without hesitation: "I keep the princes for the sake of the country, and killing traitors is also for the sake of the country."

"Mr. Meng does not deceive me." Li Ge said with a serious face: "Everyone, since Mr. Meng told us this with all his heart today, I will also say something. Don't rush away, everyone. Shanghai has just fallen. If we who are in business , All of them fled in embarrassment, which not only damaged the image of Chinese businessmen, but also made the people of Shanghai panic. I suggest, wait a little longer and take a look, so that everyone can calm down."

Li Ge is the old president, with old qualifications and high prestige. As long as he said so and was willing to stay in Shanghai, then the matter would be more than half settled.

The rest of the people may still have doubts, but most of them will follow what Li Ge said, "wait and see".

However, Meng Shaoyuan noticed that when Li Ge said those words, there was a clear eye contact, and it was facing his own direction.

This look is definitely not for myself, so it can only be given to one person:

Cai Xuefei!
Li Ge persuaded everyone to stay so briskly, not all because of Meng Shaoyuan's words, I think Cai Xuefei had already done work before coming to Cai Xuefei.

The atmosphere of the dinner party was not so embarrassing, Cai Xuefei greeted everyone to have fun.

Some people stayed there quietly discussing what to do in the future.Some people were there talking about what to do if the Japanese came to threaten them.

After more than two hours, the guests left one after another.

Li Ge, Qiang Cangyuan and Dong Kuozhao stayed.

Yes, there must be something.

Meng Shaoyuan guessed it at a glance.

Cai Xuefei invited them to the living room and served coffee.

"Tell me, if you have anything to ask me." Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to waste time, so he asked straight to the point.

Li Ge was stunned, then smiled and said: "Madame Qiangwei warned us before that we must be frank when talking to you and not go around in circles. It seems that this statement is true."

Stop hating me.

It's definitely not a simple matter for you three bigwigs from the Shanghai business world to come forward together.

"Shaoyuan, they really encountered difficulties this time." Cai Xuefei said from the side: "Before the war broke out, Shanghai and Nanjing were close, and the business circles of the two places also had close contacts."

Qiang Cangyuan interface said: "The Battle of Songhu broke out. We communicated frequently with Nanjing by telegram and kept reporting the situation in Shanghai. At first, we thought that Shanghai could be defended, so we told our colleagues in Nanjing not to worry. Once Shanghai was lost, the Japanese army continued to attack. Nanjing is advancing, and Nanjing is in danger. Most of the factory buildings and machines in Nanjing have been evacuated, but their people and family members are still in Nanjing. If the capital cannot be preserved..."

Meng Shaoyuan understood.

Tang Shengzhi is still to be blamed. In order to show his determination to defend Nanjing, he ordered Hu Zongnan, the commander of the First Army, to strictly prevent the Yangtze River route, and no one person or soldier was allowed to leave Nanjing to cross the river.

As a result, a large number of people were stranded in Nanjing.

When Tang Shengzhi finally realized that Nanjing could no longer be defended and issued an order to evacuate in a hurry, Hu Zongnan's First Army headquarters was still in Chuzhou, and it was too late for the order to reach the north bank, which led to the tragedy of Nanjing's evacuation.

Trash.

Meng Shaoyuan cursed bitterly in his heart.

"Mr. Meng." Secretary-General Dong Kuozhao's voice was full of expectation: "Now, we are still barely in touch with Nanjing. The waterway is blocked, so what about land? Shanghai can't come. The Japanese army has occupied Suzhou and is approaching Wuxi, Changshu, etc. There is also a dead end there, and all our colleagues are trapped in Nanjing, unable to advance or retreat.

They asked us for help in the telegram, but what can some of us in business do?In desperation, I can only find Mrs. Qiangwei to discuss, she has a wide range of people and invites many people, so maybe there is a way.Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiangwei immediately recommended you to us, saying that if you are willing to help, there will be a way, Mr. Meng, please. "

Simple to say.

Nanjing has been completely sealed off, and only entry is allowed, and no exit is allowed. What can I do?
"Mr. Meng, we are determined not to let your hard work be in vain." Li Ge took out a check from his pocket: "Here is 30 US dollars deposited in HSBC Bank, which was jointly raised by my colleagues in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places. It is used to deal with the evacuation, and it is handed over to Mr. Meng now, if it is not enough, Mr. Meng can speak up."

Good guy, $30.In this era, it is simply a dazzling huge sum of money!
These businessmen are really rich.Regardless of the fact that the Japanese have occupied Shanghai now, Chinese businessmen are having a hard time, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Listening to their tone, it is still very easy to get 30 US dollars out.

It is certainly difficult to evacuate from Nanjing, but what kind of person is Young Master Meng?

When you see money, you can open your eyes, and dare to do anything for you if you have money.

The question is, how to evacuate?
Meng Shaoyuan pondered there, but Li Ge and the others would have misunderstood: "Mr. Meng, we also know that it is very difficult to do this, and we really have no other way. If Mr. Meng can successfully rescue them, from now on Afterwards, Mr. Meng was the only leader in the business circles in Shanghai and Nanjing."

Ok?
This condition sounds more attractive than $30.

Although it's just a talk, but I have done them such a big favor, and if they come to them for something in the future, they will definitely think twice, right?

No wonder Li Ge would speak for himself, there is such a big problem waiting for him.

Meng Shaoyuan pondered: "Approximately how many people are there?"

"There are always two or three hundred people with family members."

what?
Two or three hundred people?
Meng Shaoyuan was taken aback.

I thought there were only a dozen or at most dozens of people, so I could let the agents try to cover them out.

How do you get such a large number of people now?
"Two or three hundred people?" Meng Shaoyuan could only smile wryly: "The target is so big, even if I managed to get them out of Nanjing, what should I do next? There must be no way to go by land, only water. The problem is that the national army blocked the river. Any ships leave. Well, even if I figured out a way, what if I encounter Japanese warships along the way?"

Difficult, difficult.

"Shaoyuan." Cai Xuefei said, "You will find a way."

Will there be a way?Sister, you think highly of me, don't you?
30 US dollars, the allegiance of the business circles in Shanghai and Nanjing.

This is not counting.

With the leadership of Shanghai's business community, its influence can radiate to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This is definitely a big piece of fat.

It is not so easy for Meng Shaoyuan to spit out the fat in his mouth.

"I'll do my best." Meng Shaoyuan gritted his teeth.

"Thank you, thank you."

Li Ge and the other three were overjoyed.

It seems that as long as Meng Shaoyuan agrees, everything will be fine.

Meng Shaoyuan could only smile wryly.

……

"Shaoyuan, thank you this time."

As soon as Li Ge and the three left, Cai Xuefei said, "I know that Nanjing is currently blocked from all directions, and it will be very difficult to get so many people out, but we really have no other way."

"Don't thank me in a hurry, I haven't thought of what to do." Meng Shaoyuan only felt a headache: "Nanjing is not only blocked from all sides, but has become a dead place. Don't talk about those businessmen, even the officials now It’s hard to figure it out. It’s messed up, everything is messed up, there are two or three hundred people, it hurts my brain just thinking about it.”

"You'll find a way."

Unexpectedly, Cai Xuefei's words were full of confidence in Meng Shaoyuan: "At the beginning when you escorted Jin, you killed people in a rage, and let Jin arrive in Sichuan safely. Later, you made a big fuss in Shanghai, and the situation in Shanghai changed. In my opinion , there is nothing in this world that you cannot do."

No, don't put your high hat on my head.

"Shaoyuan." Cai Xuefei said earnestly, "If you can accomplish this, not only the business circles in Shanghai and Nanjing owe you a great favor, but I also owe you a favor. If you want to repay it in the future, just ask."

I want you to promise me with my body, will you?
Cut, any kind of favor is just a talk, and when it comes time to repay, it will definitely be pushed back and forth.

Young Master Meng is not a fool, if it wasn't for the sake of 30 US dollars, he would definitely not agree: "It's done, I'll think of a way, anyway, I'm planning to go to Nanjing."

"You want to go to Nanjing in person?" Cai Xuefei was startled: "You said just now that it's a dead end."

"I have to go to death." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Who am I? A spy, the more dangerous the place, the more I want to go. There are still so many things that have not been dealt with properly."

Go, go, it's hard to say whether you can come back alive.

……

"He is really a remarkable person." Cai Xuefei murmured after sending Meng Shaoyuan away, and when she turned around, she was startled when she saw Steward Qiu's appearance: "Butler Qiu, why is your lip broken? There is still a hole in your ear." Blood?"

Butler Qiu sneered: "It's just to win glory for the country. I finally fulfilled my mission, and the black butler's eyes were also swollen from my beating."

……

"Alao, what's the matter with you? What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Master, that damned Qiu, but I didn't embarrass the master, and I taught him a lesson!"

What, what kind of nonsense is this talking about.
