Chapter 425: Fighting foreign humiliation together (please subscribe and vote monthly)
Cheng Qianfan’s face changed drastically when he saw the words on the document.
“Is the news accurate?” he asked Peter with a hint of fantasy.
After asking this question, he himself shook his head. The document was headed by the French Concession Public Security Bureau and was written in French. This was a confidential document within the Public Security Bureau. That is to say, Peter was the deputy of the investigation team of the Political Department of the French Concession. Monitor, we can get this document in time.
“The Japanese side sent a note to the French Concession.” Pitt said, “I believe you will be able to read this news in the newspapers soon.”
Peter looked at Cheng Qianfan, "My friend, your motherland is in big trouble. The Japanese want to completely block material connections between China and the outside world, and their naval power is enough to do this."
"I don't care about this." Cheng Qianfan waved his hands a little irritably. He lit a cigarette, paced back and forth, and closed the door forcefully.
The patrolmen in the arresting office were all startled and immediately reached a consensus:
The inspector is in a very bad mood, so it’s better not to get into trouble with this.
"What I'm concerned about now is, how can this **** business be done?" Cheng Qianfan took a deep breath of cigarette, and the smoke traveled from his lungs, and finally exhaled from his mouth.
Suddenly, Inspector Cheng Cheng showed a look of surprise and excitement. He held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers and looked at Peter, "No, what are we worried about? Our ocean-going freighter belongs to France and flies the flag of the French Republic."
Cheng Qianfan's mood returned from the bottom to the peak, "The one affected by this policy is China Shipping. We don't have to worry, but we will benefit from it. Their goods are less, and our goods can take advantage of this opportunity to capture more markets. Share, man, we can thank the Japanese Navy for making more money."
As he said that, he looked at Peter, "The Japanese don't dare to attack the ships of the powerful French Republic, right?"
Peter touched his nose and said, "Many foreign companies, including Baffin Company, have been notified by Japan and will try their best to ensure the safety of personnel on ships from various countries."
“What about the goods?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
Pete shrugged.
“I don’t know who it is, but it talks about the powerful France all day long.” Cheng Qianfan took a puff of cigarette impatiently and said sarcastically.
Peter immediately blushed and wanted to retort, but in the end he could only say, "The Japanese are probably just talking and don't dare to do anything excessive to the French ship."
Cheng Qianfan sneered and said nothing.
Peter felt very uncomfortable. Personally, he was unhappy with the Japanese note, and he did not believe that the Japanese really dared to attack French ships. However, intellectually, he had to admit that the Japanese There is such military strength in Asia, especially in the Far East and along the coast of China.
The two discussed it for a while, but they could only take passive precautions. If they were unlucky and a cargo ship was actually seized by the Japanese navy in the future, there really was not much they could do but negotiate with Japan through the French Concession.
“I hate war,” said Peter.
“The war has made you money.” Cheng Qianfan said.
…
“What are you thinking about?” Zheng Lijun threw a cigarette to Lu Xingge.
This operation to rush to transport supplies at Shanghai Station was very successful.
The director personally called to praise him and asked for credit for the Shanghai Station. This also made the senior officials of the Shanghai Station, including Zheng Lijun, beam with joy.
As the action captain of Shanghai Station, Zheng Lijun admires Lu Xingge very much.
Lu Xinge is an absolute master of action with good skills and accurate marksmanship.
“Captain, I heard that the Japanese troops have landed at Wusongkou?” Lu Xingge asked.
"Indeed." Zheng Lijun nodded, and then he patted Lu Xingge on the shoulder, "Brother, once Shanghai falls, our hard days are coming, so we must be mentally prepared."
“Isn’t it just to kill the Japanese.” Lu Xingge said with a smile.
“Good job.” Zheng Lijun laughed, threw a pack of cigarettes to Lu Xingge, turned and left.
After Zheng Lijun left, Lu Xingge fell into deep thought again.
During this operation to rush to transport supplies in the eastern area of the French Concession, Shanghai Station had a fierce battle with the "Universal Merchant Group" in the French Concession.
Maybe others didn’t notice it, but Lu Xingo still keenly noticed one thing during the fierce battle:
There was a man with accurate marksmanship in the dark. He fired four times, and every time he fired, he accurately hit the fireman of the "Universal Merchant Group".
This person is quite cunning, and every time he shoots suddenly when the grenade explosion and fierce gunfire are heard.
Lu Xingo has been thinking about this matter and the possible identity background of this person.
However, one thing is certain, this person is a friend rather than an enemy.
He did not inform Zheng Lijun of his discovery for the time being.
He will first inform and inquire about the matter to the Nanjing headquarters before making a decision.
What if this person was secretly arranged by Nanjing?
…
At noon, Cheng Qianfan was taking a lunch break in the office when he heard cheers coming from the street outside the patrol room.
"What happened?" Inspector Xiao Cheng opened the door and asked, wearing his clothes.
“Inspector, let me go out and take a look.” Hou Pingliang said diligently.
“Go quickly.” Cheng Qianfan waved his hand.
After a while, Hou Pingliang ran back, holding a stack of newspapers in his hands and shouting, "Red Party, Red Party!"
“Where are the Red Party members?” Inspector Xiao Cheng turned around and entered the office, then came out with a Browning gun and asked in a stern voice.
"No, no." Hou Pingliang said quickly, "Inspector, it's the newspaper. The newspaper said that the Red Party armed forces were reorganized by the national military government, and the Red Party became the national army."
"What's this mess?" Inspector Xiao Cheng put away his gun and returned to the office with the newspaper.
The "Shenbao" on this day even had a special supplement.
Cheng Qianfan saw at first glance the "Ten Points Program for Resisting Japan and Saving the Nation" published by the Red Party:
1. Down with Japanese imperialism: expel Japanese imperialism from China.
2. General mobilization of the national military: mobilize the entire land, sea and air force to carry out the nationwide war of resistance.
3. General mobilization of the people across the country: The entire Chinese people are mobilized and armed to participate in the war of resistance, and implement the principle of contributing force with strength, money with money, guns with guns, and knowledge with knowledge.
…
Cheng Qianfan’s expression was calm, and he even flattened his mouth from time to time, shook his head, and sneered.
However, deep down he was excited.
He felt his heartbeat speed up.
My chest is on fire!
Happily applauded and shouted for these ten principles in my heart!
In addition to the "Ten Points Program to Resist Japan and Save the Nation," newspapers also officially confirmed the news that the red armed forces accepted the reorganization of the National Government.
The Central Committee of the Red Party issued an order to change the red armed forces into the Eighth Route Army:
"The Anti-Japanese War has begun in Nanjing, and the cooperation between the National and Red Parties has initially been successful. In order to realize the Red Party Central Committee's pledge to rename the Red Armed Forces at the Third Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee and promote this war of resistance to become the entire nation's Anti-Japanese Revolutionary War, we announce the renaming of the Red Armed Forces For the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the commander is:
The former General Headquarters was changed to the Eighth Route General Headquarters, with Comrade Dai Zhen as the commander-in-chief, Comrade Shi Chuan as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Comrade Yi Wei as the chief of staff..."
Comrade Dai Zhen and Comrade Shi Chuan delivered their inaugural telegrams, promising to the people of the country that the Eighth Route Army will "serve on the battlefield, vow to drive out the Japanese aggressors, regain lost territory, and fight to the end for China's independence, freedom and happiness."
good!
Well said by the two chief ministers!
Cheng Qianfan took a deep breath, picked up the cigarette case on his desk, and lit a cigarette. He forced to suppress his excitement.
Being able to report this news publicly in newspapers in Shanghai was obviously approved by the National Government, indicating that the cooperation negotiations between the National and Red Parties were initially successful. The Red Armed Forces were reorganized into the Eighth Route Army. The military forces of the two parties had thus initially reached a second agreement. Cooperate and a comprehensive anti-Japanese united front is initially formed!
No wonder the citizens on the street cheered.
As soon as this report came out, it basically declared an end to the ten-year civil war between the national and red parties. The two parties shook hands and made peace to jointly resist foreign humiliation!
Thank you very much [二×光〓gently] for the reward of 100 starting coins.
