Chapter 264: The Sharpshooter(1/2)
Meng Shaoyuan, who officially entered Shanghai, was in a complicated mood at this time.
On the one hand, they hold great power and are high-spirited. On the other hand, they hold great power and are cautious.
The rights were given by Dai Li, and he even gave Meng Shaoyuan unlimited trust.
There is only one reason for doing this:
Let his subordinates be grateful to him and die as a result.
The saying that the tail is too big to fall off does not actually exist in the secret service, especially in the military.
Because there is only one person in this organization who has the final say:
Dai Li!
As long as he still has the trust of the Chairman, no one can really threaten him.
Even the three giants of military unification later, Mao Renfeng from Zhejiang, Tang Zong from Hunan, and Zheng Jiemin from Guangdong, as long as Dai Li is still around, they can only be honest.
The reason is very simple, because the chairman of the committee said that people's energy is limited and it is impossible to do everything by themselves.
For example, if you want to control the spies across the country, you only need to control their heads.
The Chairman did not want to ask questions about the rest of the people, nor did he want to hear their secret reports.
What about Zhang Yifu, the veteran of the Kuomintang spy community, the leader of the Hunan faction, the core of the Nanchang Xingying Investigation Bureau system, and known as "Zhang Shengren"?
Dai Li gave him three points, and Zhang Yifu gave Dai Li seven points.
Zhang Yifu said to his protégés and disciples more than once: "Respect Dai Yunong and don't try to stand on his opposite side. If you want to overthrow Dai Yunong, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. If he wants to kill you, it will be like killing a dog."
Even if your local power management is intricate and layered, Dai Li can make ten years of hard work come to naught with just one order from Dai Li.
It is for this reason that once Dai Li takes a fancy to someone, he will spare no effort to support you and let you take over the power without even asking.
He knows that you don't have the guts, qualifications, or capital to betray him.
On the contrary, this kind of trust can also make subordinates devoted to him.
Meng Shaoyuan knew this very well.
Today, he can give you the power, and tomorrow, he can take it back.
The only way to protect this right is to work seriously.
As long as Dai Li is around, no matter how many factions there are within the military system, there will be no chaos.
It's a pity that there is only one Dai Li.
Early in the morning, Chen Rongyang called and asked if Meng Shaoyuan was free in the evening. He would be the host and treat Meng Shaoyuan, an old classmate, to dinner.
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and agreed.
"This is not Chen Rongyang's treat, it's obviously the Hongmen Banquet set up by Cheng Yiming." Putting down the phone, Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "As an imperial minister, I hold Shangfang's sword, but if I'm not careful, the sword will cut off my own feet.
"
"That's your business." Tian Qi muttered: "Those of us who are subordinates just need to do our own thing. The people in the special operations group have settled down, but half of the weapons have not been shipped back."
"What's going on?" Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
"It's a scheduling problem. There are not many solutions we can think of at the train station, and we are transporting it in the name of factory machinery. I'm worried that if it is left at the train station for a long time, if there is an unpacking inspection...
"
What the fuck.
After all, your Master Meng is a major and deputy director of the military command. He has to be hindered even when he pulls his belongings from the train station?
This...is really fucking big Shanghai!
In the past, in Nanjing, Master Meng could do whatever he wanted without any scruples. Now that he has officially come to Shanghai, it is so troublesome to get goods.
"Bring money." Meng Shaoyuan said bitterly: "Find someone you can talk to at the station, the police, officials in the concession. In short, get me the weapons as soon as possible."
"Understood."
Wu Jingyi walked in, carrying several boxes of snacks in her hand: "Director, what you want has been prepared for you."
"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan picked up the snacks: "I'm going to go to Mrs. Qiangwei's place. They gave us such a big house for free. We can't come to Shanghai without saying thank you."
"That's your face." Tian Qi's voice said with evil intentions: "Director Meng, you are very lucky, what is the Marshal of the Flower Country, Mrs. Qiangwei, ah, poor little Zhu."
"Get out!"
Meng Shaoyuan was furious and kicked Tian Qi...
…
"Shao Yuan, you really kept your promise and really came to Shanghai."
No matter what the occasion, Mrs. Rose is always so elegant.
Although the temperature in Shanghai in summer is not as high as that in Nanjing, it is still bearable.
Cai Xuefei wore a plain cheongsam, flat shoes, and a bun. She was sitting under the pergola, holding a cup of coffee.
There are ice cubes in the basins on both sides.
Several bottles of orange water were placed in a pile of crushed ice cubes.
Although with the advancement of science and technology, ice cubes are no longer as expensive as those in ancient palaces, but consuming so much ice cubes every day is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.
"Mr. Meng, what would you like to drink?"
Just as every time I see Mrs. Qiangwei, she has such an elegant temperament. Every time I see Butler Qiu, his face is always expressionless, as if everyone owes him a sum of money.
"Is there any cold beer?"
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan made this request, Butler Qiu was startled.
Rude and rude, this Meng Shaoyuan is always so rude and rude.
How can you be a guest at someone's house and drink beer as soon as you arrive?
"Please wait."
After all, Butler Qiu was the steward of a wealthy family. Although he disliked Meng Shaoyuan no matter how he looked at him, his demeanor still had to be talked about.
"Shaoyuan, you are really right." Cai Xuefei put down her coffee: "There is a fight in Peiping, but what about Shanghai? Do you think there will be a fight too?"
"It will happen sooner or later." Meng Shaoyuan had nothing to hide: "However, if the Shanghai war returns to war, the concession will still be safe. The Japanese are not so bold for the time being and will fall out with the European and American powers. But, madam, you can lend it to us.
As for the house, it’s best to tell the public that it was sold to us. Ah, I don’t want to hack your house.”
"If Meng Shaoyuan wants it, I'll give it to you." Cai Xuefei sighed softly: "I understand what you mean. If the Japanese occupy Shanghai, you want me to get rid of you as cleanly as possible.
It’s also more beneficial.”
This is exactly what Meng Shaoyuan had in mind.
The Japanese occupied Shanghai. Although living in the concession was safe, it was definitely not a pleasant thing to be constantly stared at by the Japanese.
Cai Xuefei suddenly smiled lightly: "Even if the Japanese really come, even though I am a prostitute, am I really afraid of them?"
"Madam, let me put it bluntly." Meng Shaoyuan looked a bit upright today: "The cruelty of those Japanese is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Especially for someone like you who is relatively famous in Shanghai, they will pay special attention to me.
I think from now on, even though I am in Shanghai, I will come to Madam less often."
"Mr. Meng, your beer."
Butler Qiu brought a bottle of beer and a beer glass: "Sorry, there's no ice."
"It's okay, it's okay." Meng Shaoyuan poured beer into the cup, then took out a few crushed ice cubes from the container of orange water, threw them into the beer, and said with a smile:
"Isn't this just ice?"
Cai Xuefei and Butler Qiu were stunned.
Is this okay?
Their habit is to use ice cubes to cool down orange water. They are dirty. How can they be eaten?
The issue is……
This is Meng Shaoyuan!
vulgar.
Butler Qiu looked down on Meng Shaoyuan more and more: "Mr. Meng, you said the Japanese are so scary, I don't think so."
After speaking, he glanced at Cai Xuefei, and when Mrs. Qiangwei nodded to him, Butler Qiu suddenly took out a shell gun from his coat.
Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded when he saw it: "Steward Qiu, no wonder you are dressed like this on such a hot day. It is used to perform magic tricks?"
Butler Qiu's nose was so angry that he was so angry.
He ignored this rude and rude man, raised his hand, and shot him three times.
Meng Shaoyuan quickly got up and took a look.
Good guy, the gun hit the French plane tree thirty meters away.
"You messed with the sycamore tree."
