Chapter 0070 Drive the big nose back to the Atlantic!
The three words "special commissioner" are a symbol of power. He represents the National Government and is also the chairman of the committee!
Therefore, the words of the special commissioner are the words of the chairman of the committee. No matter in the military or at the local level, no one dares to directly disobey the special commissioner.
But today the special correspondent hit a big snag. Dragon Boat Festival didn't even buy his account.
The special commissioner lost face and took out his pistol to shoot Duan Wu.
Of course, he was just scaring Duanwu. At this time, he killed Duanwu and ruined the chairman's plan. He would probably die if he returned.
What's more, if he kills Duanwu, it's uncertain whether he can walk out of Sihang Warehouse.
Although he has not been here very long, as long as he is not a fool, he can see the status of Dragon Boat Festival in the minds of these soldiers.
If he really dared to shoot, it would be strange if those soldiers who had red eyes to kill Japanese soldiers didn't skin him alive.
So this is a lack of confidence in drawing the gun.
Duan Wu slowly turned around and glanced at the special commissioner with cold eyes. The hand holding the gun involuntarily shook three times.
At this moment, although he didn't want to tremble, his body was out of control.
He even felt that the look in Dragon Boat Festival could kill him.
Indeed, compared with Duanwu, a soldier, the special commissioner is just a clerk.
kill?
He may have killed, but he would never kill as many as Duanwu.
I'm afraid he probably killed more Japanese during the Dragon Boat Festival than he had ever seen.
It's like a dog with his tail between his legs when he sees a butcher who is killing the dog. He will pee in fear.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan quickly smoothed things over and said: "Hehehe, Commissioner, stop joking. We are all working for the party and the country, why should we hurt the harmony?"
Xie Jinyuan first pressed the gun of the special commissioner, then quickly pulled Duanwu back, sat down on the chair and said: "Brother Duanwu, come back, come back and sit down, we have something to discuss."
After sitting down both of them, Xie Jinyuan said: "Special Commissioner, our regiment is very brave and good at fighting. It is possible to completely wipe out the enemy's 68th Regiment with the strength of a mere regiment, and kill the regiment leader Konoe Hon. That's it.
This ability can be called brave and good at fighting, right?"
The special correspondent thought for a while and said: "This is natural. It's just..."
Before the special correspondent could finish what he said, Xie Jinyuan quickly interrupted: "It's just that we have different opinions on the analysis of the upcoming battle situation.
What the special commissioner meant was that we should withdraw from the concession and retain our combat effectiveness.
And what Brother Duanwu means is that we don’t buy favors from the British.”
The special commissioner rushed to speak: "When the country is in crisis, it is natural to put the overall situation first. You must know that Sihang Warehouse has no strategic significance at all.
And if the Chairman wants to fight this battle, it is for foreigners to see. He will strive for the greatest interests for our diplomats, at the Nine-Nation Conference, and for China! This is politics. Do you understand politics?"
The special correspondent tapped the table with his fingers, looking like you don't understand.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan looked at Duanwu and said in a pleading tone: "Brother Duanwu, I know your character best. You have your reasons for saying that you don't accept the British's kindness. While the special commissioner is here,
Do you want to explain this? Brother Duanwu, it’s just a few words, just a few words. Haha!"
Xie Jinyuan apologized and smiled, but there was nothing he could do about Dragon Boat Festival.
He thought for a while and said, "Then I'll give Brother Xie some face and tell you why we can't go to the concession.
First of all, the chairman is wrong..."
"Eh, I don't dare to say that."
Xie Jinyuan ran over nervously, covered Duanwu's mouth, put it against Duanwu's ear, and lowered his voice: "Brother Duanwu, be tactful, be sure to be tactful."
Duanwu waved his hands helplessly, Xie Jinyuan sat back, and Duanwu continued: "It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. Relying on the mouths of other countries will not work. Since September 18th, those old colonists have been mediating.
But what about now? Northeast China has fallen and North China has fallen. Isn’t that enough to wake us up?
The British in the concession are afraid of the Japanese and want to protect their own interests in China. Will they offend the Japanese because we cling to Sihang Warehouse?"
Duanwu asked rhetorically, and everyone present was speechless, including the commissioner who had been speaking plausibly before.
Because indeed, the more these veteran colonists mediate, the more China suffers.
The Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces. The Chairman pointed to Britain, the United States, France and other countries to mediate. What was the result? Have the three northeastern provinces been transferred to the Japanese?
Therefore, the mediation by the old colonialists was just reaching out to ask for benefits from the Japanese.
The commissioner frowned. Although he knew he was wrong, he still wanted to carry out the chairman's order.
Because everything he has is given by the Chairman. If he cannot implement the Chairman's orders, there will be only one outcome, and that is nothing.
"Brother Duanwu, I apologize to you for my recklessness just now."
The special commissioner stood up, bowed to the Dragon Boat Festival first, and then said earnestly: "Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. None of us dare to say that we are right until the matter reaches the last moment, right?
Therefore, I still think that we should follow the chairman's order and retreat to the concession on the evening of October 30.
My Brother Duanwu, if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about your brothers. Do you just want them to die on the north bank like you? What’s the point of this?”
Xie Jinyuan echoed from the side: "Yes, Brother Duanwu, what the special commissioner said makes sense."
Duanwu frowned. He knew what Xie Jinyuan was thinking, and he also knew what the special commissioner was thinking.
Xie Jinyuan was not afraid of death, but he made the judgment not to make unnecessary sacrifices. Since the purpose of this battle has been achieved, it is better to preserve the effective strength of the independent regiment and then seek to kill the enemy and serve the country.
Of course, Xie Jinyuan did not know that as soon as he entered the British Concession, he was put under house arrest by the British. The weapons in the hands of the eight hundred warriors were also taken away by the British army and they were imprisoned in a prison-like cell.
The cells are very simple and the living conditions are very poor.
Around the cell, the White Russian soldiers of the "All Nations Merchant Group" also used barbed wire to surround them like livestock, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
The only time I raised the national flag was at the cost of blood.
Belarusian soldiers shot and killed many people. Even Xie Jinyuan was almost killed by Belarusian soldiers.
Their days in the concession were worse than prisoners of war.
And this is where the special commissioner and Xie Jinyuan are going.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, he frowned and became more and more angry as he thought about it. If the Japanese had not been repulsed from the front, he would have recovered the British Concession first and driven all these British big noses back to the Atlantic Ocean! . . .
