Chapter 423: Fighting Foreign Humiliation Together (Monthly Ticket)
Cheng Qianfan's face changed drastically when he saw the words on the document.
"Is the information accurate?" he asked Peter with a hint of fantasy.
After asking this question, he himself shook his head. The document was titled "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, I can get this document in time.
"The Japanese side sent a note to the French Concession." Peter 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 policemen in the arresting hall 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, how the hell can I do business?" 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 it will cause profits. 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 received notifications from 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 that talks about the powerful France all day long." Cheng Qianfan took a puff of cigarette irritably 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. From a personal emotional point of view, he was unhappy with the Japanese note and did not believe that the Japanese really dared to attack French ships. However, from an intellectual point of view, he had to admit that the Japanese
In Asia, especially in the Far East, China has such military strength along its coast.
The two discussed it for a long time, 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, they would have little choice but to negotiate with Japan through the French Concession.
"I hate war," said Pete.
"The war 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.
Zheng Lijun, as the action captain of Shanghai Station, admired Lu Xingge very much.
Lu Xinge has good skills and accurate marksmanship. He is an absolute master of action.
"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 times 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 loudly, threw a pack of cigarettes to Lu Xingge, and turned to leave.
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 French Concession's "All Nations Merchant Group".
Maybe others didn't notice it, but Lu Xinge still keenly noticed one thing during the fierce battle:
There was a man in the dark with accurate marksmanship. He fired four times, and every time he fired, he accurately hit the fireman of the "Universal Merchant Group".
This person was quite cunning, and he would shoot suddenly every time when grenade explosions and fierce gunfire sounded.
If Lu Xingo hadn't been highly alert and vigilant, it would have been difficult to notice this detail.
Lu Xinge has been thinking about this matter and the possible identity background of this person.
However, one thing is certain, this person is a friend, not an enemy.
He did not inform Zheng Lijun of his discovery for the time being.
He would first inform the Nanjing headquarters and inquire about the matter 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 tone.
"No, no." Hou Pingliang said quickly, "Inspector, it's the newspaper. The newspaper said that the Red Party armed forces have been reorganized by the national military government, and the Red Party has become the national army."
"What's this mess?" Inspector Xiao Cheng put away his gun and returned to the office with the newspaper.
This day's "Shenbao" even opened a special supplement.
At first glance, Cheng Qianfan saw the "Ten Points Program for Resisting Japan and Saving the Nation" publicly released 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.
Third, the general mobilization of the people of the whole country: the whole Chinese people mobilized and armed themselves to participate in the war of resistance, and implemented the practice of contributing strength 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 hot!
I applaud and shout 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 transform the Red Armed Forces into the Eighth Route Army:
"Nanjing has begun the war of resistance against Japan, and the cooperation between the National and Red parties has initially been successful. In order to realize the guarantee of the Red Party Central Committee 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 anti-Japanese revolutionary war of the whole nation, we announced that the name of the red armed forces will be changed to
Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, General:
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 would "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 leaders!
Cheng Qianfan took a deep breath, picked up the cigarette case on his desk, lit a cigarette, and suppressed his excitement.
Being able to report these news publicly in newspapers in Shanghai was obviously approved by the Nationalist 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!
