Chapter 393: Change of Attitude
No Chinese has ever dared to speak to them in such a tone here.
This is already a naked threat.
Sir Greenwood's face became a little distorted because of his anger: "I solemnly tell you that you will be punished for these words. I will lodge the most solemn protest to your government!"
Someone knocked gently on the door.
Then, a young and beautiful foreign woman came in, holding a document in her hand and handed it to Lord Greenwood.
Jazz calmed down his anger a little and signed the document: "Lisa, no one is allowed to come in without my consent."
"Okay, sir."
The woman named Lisa took the documents and left.
"Mr. Meng." Moyes finally calmed down: "We don't know Mr. Tony's situation, and we don't know whether your so-called confession was made by Mr. Tony. What I can tell you is that since the war between China and Japan
, the concession has always strictly abided by the principle of neutrality, and the situations you mentioned will not occur. I don’t know why Mr. Tony said that."
"I need you to release Tony immediately." Sir Greenwood felt that he must not give in in front of these Chinese, otherwise they would become even more lawless: "As for your accusations, we will make an assessment."
In his opinion, this is already his biggest concession.
"I said, Mr. Tony is not willing to come back." A smile flashed across Meng Shaoyuan's face: "Ah, maybe my tone just now was too fierce. I apologize."
Um?
Why did your attitude suddenly change?
Sinclair was extremely surprised. In his opinion, Meng Shaoyuan was definitely not the kind of person who would give up easily, especially now that he seemed to have some upper hand.
But Meng Shaoyuan did just that: "As for the Tony spy case, you can investigate it carefully. I believe that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will give a reasonable explanation. I apologize again for the trouble I have caused you. Then I will
I’ll take my leave now.”
Then, he really left.
What is the situation?
He came to Xingshi in an aggressive manner to accuse him, but he gave up even before the confrontation started?
Sinclair was stunned.
No, no.
This is definitely not Meng Shaoyuan's character.
Sir Greenwood and Moyes are also a bit baffled.
It seems that today will not be peaceful. This man named Meng will use this matter to make a big fuss to achieve his ulterior motives.
But who would have thought that he would suddenly give up?
"I have always believed that we must be tough when dealing with the Chinese." Sir Greenwood sneered: "They are like sheep in tiger skin. Once their tiger skin is taken off, they will expose their cowardly side.
!”
"Your Excellency Sir." Moyes frowned: "Don't you think there is something wrong with this? A person would give up his appeal without any warning? Is there any conspiracy in this?"
"No, Mr. Moyes." Sir Greenwood was very confident: "I have been in China for many years and will step down next year. You have not been in China for a long time, so you are very likely to inherit my position."
, as the general director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, then I must give you some useful suggestions.
These Chinese officials will use threats to achieve their shameless goals, and what we have to do is never give in, and we can use their government to deal with them again and again. This is our most powerful
Weapons, once we protest to their government, they will be afraid, especially at the critical moment of the war between China and Japan."
Well, it sounds like that is indeed the case. When Sir Greenwood once again proposed to lodge a solemn protest to the National Government, the man named Meng was indeed afraid.
Before, he might have just held on there.
Moyes is still a little worried: "But what worries me is that he seems to have very sufficient evidence. If it is really released, it will cause a lot of trouble to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and our credibility will also be reduced, and even
It will trigger serious protests from the National Government."
"That is Tony's own business." Of course Sir Greenwood felt a little worried, but he would never show it on his face: "We will categorically deny this matter. As for Sir Roth and Tagawa Wu
They couldn't produce any more sufficient evidence for Zhilang's accusation."
I hope so, I hope so.
Moyes certainly hopes that the impact of this incident will not continue to expand. You know, Sir Greenwood will step down in January next year, and his successor will largely be him.
He wouldn't be happy if he was left with a mess to clean up.
He looked at Sinclair: "Mr. Solratus, do you know anything about this man? Do you think he is really not prepared to pursue this matter, or does he have other intentions?"
"Of course I know this person." Sinclair smiled bitterly: "Please believe my judgment, Meng will never give up. If he cannot achieve his goal, God knows what crazy things he will do. Your Excellency, Sir,
Mr. President, from my personal point of view, I suggest that we invite him back to discuss a solution again."
"Please come back? Ask him to come back?" Sir Greenwood felt incredible to the extreme: "I don't quite understand what you think, Mr. Solratus. You want us to invite a Chinese back? Let him continue to work with us.
Arrogant in front of you? No, no, I will never do something so ridiculous."
Sinclair shrugged.
Okay, okay, I have fulfilled my responsibility. If something happens in the future, please don't blame yourself.
You, now have to deal with a rogue...
…
"Director Meng."
"Assistant Wu, did you buy this new dress?" Meng Shaoyuan looked up and down: "Hey, you took ten gold bars from Xu Chengbo without my consent. Did you get a kickback from it?"
Wu Jingyi rolled her eyes at him.
My brain is broken again.
However, seeing that Meng Shaoyuan was in good spirits, he asked casually: "Did the negotiation with the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau succeed? Did they agree to your request?"
"No, they rejected it flatly."
Um?
Wu Jingyi didn't quite understand. She left happily and came back dejected, but why was she still so cheerful? Could this Young Master Meng have changed his gender?
Meng Shaoyuan didn't care what she thought: "How is the Italian? How much money have been collected from him?"
"One hundred and fifty dollars."
"No way." Meng Shaoyuan cried out as soon as he heard this: "You only have so little money now?"
"How long has it been?"
"Shaving it, let's see how hard it gets."
Meng Shaoyuan said fiercely: "By the way, Assistant Wu, help me do something."
There he gave some instructions.
Wu Jingyi's face turned blue and red as she listened: "What do you want to do? I can't do it."
"You have to do it even if you can't do it. This matter is of great importance." Meng Shaoyuan left no room for negotiation: "And the sooner, the better."
Wu Jingyi had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
How did you end up with such a boss?
This thing is too much...
"Okay, how's it going at Sihang Warehouse?" Meng Shaoyuan asked seriously.
"Xie Jinyuan's 1st Battalion has 400 people, pretending to be 800. They have built fortifications at Sihang Warehouse and are determined to defend it. Sihang Warehouse has become an isolated island, with the west and north sides occupied by the Japanese army, and the east and west sides.
To the west is the public concession, and that is the only way they can retreat."
When talking about Sihang Warehouse, Wu Jingyi's face became serious: "From about 6 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army launched a tentative attack, and the two sides launched a firefight. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack. For fear of accidentally hitting the concession,
Therefore, the Japanese army did not use artillery attacks, which to a large extent eased the pressure on the defenders.
After about two hours of fierce fighting, the defenders destroyed two Japanese tanks and wiped out more than 80 enemies. The Sihang Warehouse was still in the hands of our army. When the people in our concession heard the gunfire, they were all surprised and asked about it, but they still didn't know.
What is our garrison? My special agent, Zhao Changle, has risked his life to enter the Sixing Warehouse, responsible for communicating with the air, and waiting for the next instructions."
"Has Zhao Changle gone in?" Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Let outside agents carry out harassing attacks on the Japanese army, and indirectly provide support to the Sixing Warehouse. But let them pay attention to safety and withdraw after a few shots. If they really want to confront the Japanese army
No, we can't defeat them.
Mobilize all newspapers and radio stations to publicize the heroic fighting news of our Sihang Warehouse defenders, and inspire the people across the country to fight to the end with determination. Assistant Wu, I just asked you to do that so that the defenders can successfully withdraw in the future. Although you
I feel a little embarrassed, but think about it, there are so many brothers."
"Director Meng, I understand." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "I will do what you say."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently.
He is unable to change the entire war situation, but he can change the fate of some people.
A rogue is a rogue.
At least, this scoundrel like me is really doing something for the country.
"By the way, Director Dai asked you to go to his place at half past four."
"I got it." Meng Shaoyuan checked the time: "Time is urgent, Assistant Wu, do what I told you to do immediately, don't waste a moment."
Well, don’t think about it, you should arrange your next work.
After all, everyone knows that Shanghai can no longer defend itself at this level.
As soon as he finished speaking, the faint sound of gunshots started coming again.
Was that the beginning of a new Japanese attack on Sihang Warehouse?
"He bravely killed eight hundred enemy soldiers, and his heroic spirit in resisting the enemy was expressed in poetry; whoever felt sorry for the country shed a thousand tears, and when he spoke of the Japanese slaves, he was angry."
This was written by Commander Xie Jinyuan to motivate the soldiers.
Sihang Warehouse.
