After nearly two months of cultivation, Chen Qiang was finally able to get out of bed and walk around.

John Rabe's villa is not big, it is just a two-story building. However, in the past month, more than 600 refugees were taken in here at the most. At that time, the small garden outside was full of people, and the first floor of the villa also became a temporary storage warehouse for food, medicine and other materials. But even so, Rabe still vacated a room for Chen Qiang to live in.

At this time, the beastly Japanese troops had returned to their respective military camps. The Red Cross Society, Chongshantang, Tongshantang and other charities in Nanjing had begun to bury bodies inside and outside Nanjing city, and the church in Nanjing also set up a special burial team. But even so, because of the concern that the Japanese army would make a comeback, there were still many Chinese refugees staying in the safe zone and not daring to leave. Therefore, there were still hundreds of refugees around Rabe's villa.

On that day, Chen Qiang stood by the window, breathing the fresh air outside the window, but heard the sound of cars horns coming from a distance. Several Japanese military vehicles drove from afar, stopped at the door of Rabe's house, and several Japanese soldiers got off from above, staring at Rabe's villa with keen eyes.

After seeing the Japanese army, the refugees showed panic expressions. They all knew what had happened in Nanjing in the past month, so when they saw the Japanese army, they began to worry about whether the Japanese army would wave their butcher knife at them.

The leader was a major, the staff officer next to Tada Jung.

The Major saw the Chinese refugees gathered around him, and his face showed disgust. Then he took a big step into Rabe's villa.

"Why are the Japanese coming? Are you looking for Rabe?" Chen Qiang felt uneasy inexplicably in his heart. He walked out of his room and came to the stairs, but did not go down, but hid at the corner of the stairs and eavesdropped on the conversation below.

In the living room on the first floor, two people were having a conversation in the future. The two of them spoke Chinese, but their tone was very strange. It was obvious that two foreigners were talking in Chinese.

Chen Qiang was very familiar with one of the people's voice, and it was Rabe.

"Master Yamada, Chen Qiang is my guest, you have no right to take him away!" Rabe's voice rang.

At the entrance of the stairs, Chen Qiang was shocked. He already knew that the Japanese was here to catch him.

The grandson named Yamada said, "Mr. Rabe, please understand the current situation. The imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire has occupied Nanjing! The place where you stand is the territory of the Great Japanese Empire! We can take anyone away here."

"Master Yamada, what you mean is that in the land occupied by Japan, you Japanese soldiers can infringe on the rights and interests of German citizens at will, right?" Rabe said coldly.

Major Yamada was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "Mr. Rabe, you misunderstood my meaning. I have no intention of offending your country, but Chen Qiang, I must take him away. He is not a German, right? We take her away, which is not considered to have harmed the rights of German citizens."

"Impossible, Chen Qiang is my guest. Since he comes to my house as a guest, I have an obligation to protect his safety." Rabe said.

"Mr. Rabe, taking Chen Qiang away is the order of the Imperial Army Central China Front Army, and I must implement it!" Major Yamada continued.

"But I am not a Japanese soldier, and your army's order has nothing to do with me." Rabe responded.

The two of them talked and argued for a long time, but in the end there was no result. One wanted to take Chen Qiang away, but the other did not allow it. Faced with such a tough Rabe, Major Yamada did not dare to move. Every time Major Yamada wanted to threaten Rabe, Rabe would move out his identity as a German citizen and the ** party.

Finally, Major Yamada's patience was worn out, and he said, "Mr. Rabe, it is precisely because you are a German that I will come to discuss with you in person. If you never hand over Chen Qiang, we do not rule out that some more extreme situations will occur, which may bring danger to Mr. Rabe!"

"I want to remind you that I am a German citizen and I am the deputy minister of the German Workers' Party in China! Is your army going to arrest me?" Labo said.

"No, of course not. Japan and Germany are allies. Of course, the Imperial Army will not invade you, but the Chinese are not sure! Mr. Rabe, you should know that Nanjing has been quite chaotic recently. I heard that some Chinese bandits have been infiltrated in Nanjing. They have guns, and they will break into private houses and kill people and rob people!" Major Yamada said with a proud look on his face.

Rabe's face suddenly tightened.

In Nanjing City now, Chinese people can't wait to run out, so no one will break in and die! Even bandits will worry about having the fate of entering the city but not going out.

But since Major Yamada said there were bandits, then if not, it would become there.

Major Yamada could have found some traitors who pretended to be bandits, and then came to Rabe's villa to have a "killer robbery", or directly asked Japanese soldiers to pretend to be bandits. Anyway, the Japanese and Chinese have yellow skin and dark hair, which is difficult to distinguish.

Moreover, Nanjing is so chaotic now. If Rabe is invaded by "bandits" or even killed by "bandits", it has nothing to do with the Japanese army. After all, it is not the Japanese who took action. Moreover, after all, the Japanese will catch a few Chinese people and kill them as "bandits", and they will be able to explain to Germany. Anyway, the Japanese have killed more than 300,000 Chinese people in Nanjing. It doesn't matter if they kill more innocent Chinese people.

Obviously, Major Yamada means that if Rabe refuses to hand over Chen Qiang, he will use this shameless method to deal with Rabe!

Rabe, who has seen the Japanese cruelty, has realized that the Japanese are inhumane. He knows that Major Yamada will really do what he says.

In desperation, Rabe finally used his killer weapon, and he heard him say: "Master Yamada, Mr. Chen is not only my guest, but also our great head of Germany! Last year, our great head of state had met Mr. Chen many times and personally awarded merits to Mr. Chen."

"As the Deputy Minister of the German Workers' Party in China, if I cannot protect Mr. Chen's safety, I cannot explain to our great head of Germany! And Mr. Chen is the person who personally awarded the medal to our great head of state. If Mr. Chen suffers any accidents with me, our great head of state will definitely be very unhappy."

Rabe had no choice but to protect Chen Qiang, he could only use his power to move out the German head of state.

Rabe illuminated the golden sign of the German head of state, which was indeed very effective. Major Yamada's proud and arrogant arrogance just now disappeared without a trace.

Major Yamada knew what it means to be a head of a country who personally awarded a medal to foreigners. If what Rabe said was true and the head of the German head of a person who actually awarded a medal to Chen Qiang himself, then the matter would be complicated, and this involved the face of a country.

The personal award of medals as the head of state represents the recognition of the entire country. The German head of state awarded merits to Chen Qiang, and the Japanese arrested Chen Qiang at the home of a German official. Wouldn't that be slapped Germany in the face? Wouldn't Germany be very shameless? Will this offend the German head of state?

Major Yamada knew that when it came to the matter involving the German head of state, he, a small major, had no right to make decisions. He could only report the matter to Jun Tada and let Jun Tada make decisions.

So Major Yamada said, "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye!"

"No," Rabe paused, and then said, "By the way, I have reported to Berlin when Mr. Chen is visiting my house..."

Major Yamada's face suddenly became embarrassed. He knew that Rabe was using this method to warn him, don't do anything randomly!

At the corner of the second floor stairs, Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The "Medal of Peace and Friendship" awarded by the German head of state to Chen Qiang was also sent to Macau along with those Olympic gold medals. But what Chen Qiang never expected was that this medal became amulet for him to avoid the Japanese's poison.

...

Major Yamada reported the story to the Japanese Deputy Chief of Staff Jun Tada.

"General, I failed to complete the task you assigned me, please punish me." Major Yamada said with his head down.

Tada Jung asked, "Is that German true? The German head of state really awarded a merit to Chen Qiang?"

"Report to General, I have specially collected the situation in this regard. What the Germans said is true. Last August, during the Berlin Olympics, Germany had met Chen Qiang many times in a distance, and also personally awarded him a medal. Chen Qiang was the only foreign athlete to be awarded by the German head of state at that time." Major Yamada answered.

"Then this matter is troublesome. At least we can't be tough on Chen Qiang!" Tada Jun said.

"Maybe that Rabe is just bluffing, and the German head of state is busy with all kinds of things every day. He can't remember Chen Qiang at all." Major Yamada said.

"But we dare not bet! What if the German head of state really valued Chen Qiang? After all, he personally awarded Chen Qiang meritorious service." Tada Jun paused and continued: "As far as I know, the German head of state is a very strong person, and even Britain and France are afraid of him! For an athlete, it would be more than worth the loss to make the German head of state have a bad impression of our great Japanese empire. Moreover, the war between the empire and China has been fully launched, and at this time we need Germany's support the most."

Japan's invasion of China obviously seriously affected Britain and France's interests in China. If it weren't for Germany's eyeing it and Britain and France had no time to deal with the Far East, perhaps during the Battle of Shanghai, Britain and France had already shipped their warships to Shanghai to "protect overseas Chinese".

Therefore, Japan cannot lose Germany's support. If even Germany is hostile to Japan, then Japan will really have to go against the whole world. At this moment, Japan will never make the German head of state unhappy for Chen Qiang.

Major Yamada continued to ask, "Then do we have to give up our actions against Chen Qiang?"

"No!" Tada Jun shook his head, and he continued, "We can start from other aspects. Since it is not hard, then we will be soft."

"Please make it clear to the general." Major Yamada said.

"Didn't Chen Qiang seek asylum in German homes? Then we will find a way to let him take the initiative to come out and surrender to us and serve the empire! You can tell him with emotion and reason, the key is to lure him with benefits!" Tada Jun said.

"General, I understand, I will do it right away." Major Yamada said goodbye and left.

...

One day later, Grandma Yamada came to Rabe's residence again. Unlike last time, Grandma Yamada did not come empty-handedly, but brought gifts.

"Master Yamada, why are you here again? I have told you before that Chen can't go with you." Rabe said coldly.

"Mr. Rabe, this time, I'm not here to take Mr. Chen away, I'm here to visit Mr. Chen specifically. I also hope that Mr. Rabe can invite Mr. Chen out and let me meet him." Major Yamada said, taking the gift from his subordinates and handing it on both hands.

As the saying goes, people don’t hit people with smiles. When they come with gifts, Rabe didn’t refuse immediately. In fact, he couldn’t figure out what he was selling in Major Yamada’s gourd.

So Rabe said, "Master Yamada, wait for a moment, I'll ask Chen if he's willing to see you."

At this time, Chen Qiang had been listening at the stairs upstairs for a long time.

Rabe walked upstairs and saw Chen Qiang standing on the corner of the stairs. He immediately spoke, "You have heard what we said just now, right? Are you seeing him or not?"

Chen Qiang thought for a while and said, "I'd better go and meet that Master Yamada! At least I have to figure out what the Japanese have planned to me so that there will be a way to deal with it in the future. There is a saying in our Chinese "The Art of War": "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."

"Okay, your body is still very weak, I'll help you downstairs." After Rabe said that, he helped Chen Qiang walk down the stairs.

...

Major Yamada finally met Chen Qiang, but his face was filled with a surprised expression, because Chen Qiang did not look like a strong athlete. On the contrary, Major Yamada met a weak patient!

"Is this Chen Qiang? Is he sick?" Major Yamada looked at Chen Qiang. His observation ability was very sharp. He quickly saw the bandage wrapped around Chen Qiang through his collar and cuffs.

"It's not that I'm sick, it's that I'm injured! Could it be that I was injured when the Emperor's army captured Nanjing a few days ago?" Grandpa Yamada immediately realized this.

Rabe introduced both sides, and Chen Qiang was too lazy to greet Major Yamada. He asked straight to the point: "Master Yamada comes to find me, what's the matter?"

"That's right. Our army heard that Chen is still in Nanjing now, so we specially sent me to visit him." Major Yamada said, pushing the gifts in front of Chen Qiang and speaking; "These are gifts I specially brought to Mr. Chen."

"It's time for you to do so." Chen Qiang did not refuse, but took the gift. The Japanese won't take advantage of it!

"Mr. Chen, I have noticed on the way to come that there are many refugees around here, and the living environment is not good. Moreover, there are not enough supplies in Nanjing now. I think Mr. Chen lives here and lives in his life. It is not very smooth!" Major Yamada paused and continued:

"So we specially selected a luxury villa for Mr. Chen, which is larger and has a better environment than here, so the furniture is fully prepared. We also prepared chefs, servants and bodyguards for Mr. Chen, who serve Mr. Chen alone and take care of Mr. Chen's daily life. In addition to daily necessities, we will give priority to Mr. Chen. In addition to Chinese food, we also prepared for Mr. Chen, such as red wine, cigars, and chocolate imported from abroad. So I came here this time to ask Mr. Chen to move to the villa we prepared for you."

Chen Qiang smiled slightly and thought to himself that it was indeed the same trick as temptation. At the Los Angeles Olympics five years ago, An Qingyi used this trick, and it was also a villa with high-ranking officials and high-paying salaries.

However, this Yamada Grandpa is similar to Kishi Kishi Kishi and is not professional. He only knows how to forget the beauty again when talking about material conditions! Shouldn’t there be a little seduction when temptation? It’s not enough to have money but no beauty!

Major Yamada looked at Chen Qiang with anticipation. If Chen Qiang agreed, then the next thing would be much easier. If he could successfully buy Chen Qiang to play for Japan, let alone give a large villa in Nanjing, it would be worth it to give Chen Qiang a large villa in every city.

However, Chen Qiang suddenly took off his shirt and exposed the wound wrapped in bandages.

"Master Yamada, you are a soldier. You should be able to see that I am injured now! And I am seriously injured." Chen Qiang said.

Major Yamada immediately said: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured. We will prepare the most comfortable vehicle for you and pick you up. In addition, we will also find the best doctors in Japan to give you the best medication. Our Japanese medical level is the best in the Far East and much better than China. I believe that under the treatment of Japanese doctors, you will recover soon!"

Chen Qiang knew that what Major Yamada said was true. He would really find the best doctor for Chen Qiang and use the best medicine.

However, Chen Qiang shook his head: "Master Yamada, you misunderstood what I mean. I show you the injuries on my body, not to be treated. I want to tell you that these injuries are all caused by your Japanese bombers! Two months ago, at the hands of your Japanese army, I almost died! You Japanese almost killed me! If it were you, would you accept the gift from someone who almost killed you?"

"Uh..." Major Yamada was speechless.

Major Yamada looked at the location of Chen Qiang's injury and knew that what Chen Qiang said was not false. Major Yamada knew the power of the bomber bomb. He could even imagine how serious Chen Qiang was injured at that time. If it were him, he might not be able to survive at all!

At the same time, Major Yamada also knew that today's conversation could not be carried out completely. Chen Qiang showed his injury to Major Yamada, which was equivalent to giving him the answer he refused!

Looking at the departure of Major Yamada, Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. He showed Major Yamada's wounds, which was more like a firm and stern rejection. Chen Qiang hoped that this way could be used to dispel the Japanese's idea of ​​using their own.

"I hope the Japanese will not come to me again if they die. But if this is still unsuccessful and the Japanese will still pester me, I don't know when Rabe can protect me..." Chen Qiang took a deep breath and said in his heart: "I am a Chinese, and I can't be a traitor even if I die!"

At this time, Chen Qiang missed Director Zhao from the General Affairs Department. Chen Qiang still remembered that Director Zhao could find something better than cyanide and would be painless if he took it.
