Chapter 41: Dance of All Nations (Third update, please recommend) (revision)

When he returned to the room, Yuan Yichang had already sent all the weapons.

Flower machine, shell gun, Browning, and a dozen Mills grenades.

Especially the flower machine gun, which is actually the domestic collective name for the German-made MP18 and MP28 submachine guns. The Sichuan Army calls it the "Pig Cage Machine" and the Guangdong Army calls it the "Pig Cage Machine".

What Yuan Yichang provided was not a copy from Jinling Arsenal or Shanghai Arsenal, but an actual MP28 produced by the Berkman Company.

These are all transported to China by arms smuggling by international foreign companies.

In order to ensure that the public concession would not be able to seize weapons and ammunition in the future, colleagues at the Shanghai Station specially purchased a batch from an international company.

Each flower mechanism is equipped with a leather six-pocket magazine set, carrying six magazines, each with thirty-two rounds of ammunition.

Once in close combat, this is definitely a destructive weapon with devastating power.

For this assassination, Shanghai Station spent a lot of money.

Yuan Yichang didn't ask about their plans. Since they had transferred people from Nanjing, all he had to do was do the logistical work.

At night in Shanghai, there is singing, dancing, and revelry.

Meng Shaoyuan asked Mu Dekai and the others to accompany Zhu Yanni to experience the night of Shanghai.

You know, although Nanjing is the capital and has experienced a golden decade of development, there is still a big gap compared with Greater Shanghai.

It's rare to come to Shanghai for a business trip, how can I not have some fun?

Tian Qi didn't go and locked himself in the room alone.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't go either, but picked up the submachine gun and studied it over and over again.

The use of weapons has always been his weakness, and he has to make up for it.

Unfortunately, there is no place nearby for him to test the gun.

After playing there for a while, Meng Shaoyuan was a little bored without being able to shoot the gun himself.

Thinking of the newspaper he bought during the day, Meng Shaoyuan looked for it.

The newspapers of the Republic of China mainly published international news and very little domestic news. However, this "News" devoted almost an entire page to reporting on the Chinese athletes competing in the Berlin Olympics, which is considered rare.

This time, the Chinese Olympic team includes football team, basketball team, long jump, sprint, and pole vault athletes. There is also a martial arts performance group.

The most famous among them are Li Huitang, the basketball king, and Shu Hong, a native of Zhejiang who is an assistant coach of the Chinese men's basketball team and studied in the United States with a double master's degree in physical education and health.

In May, the Chinese Olympic delegation set off from Shanghai and passed through Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, and India.

The team's funds are limited and living conditions are very difficult. In order to save money, they can only take the lowest cabins, eat the cheapest meals, stay in the cheapest hotels, and even sleep on the floor.

It won't arrive in Berlin until about late July.

After such a long journey, it is impossible to achieve good results. It can only be said to be a matter of bringing glory to the country.

After reading this news, Meng Shaoyuan lamented in his heart that the country was so poor and weak that it could not even provide living security for the athletes who went on the expedition.

Just as I was about to put down the newspaper, my eyes suddenly fell on an advertisement:

"The grand Ball of All Nations will be held grandly at the Broadway Building on June 30, the 25th year of the Republic of China (May 12, Year Bingzi)!"

Dance of all nations?

Meng Shaoyuan was curious and read the advertisement carefully.

This probably means that since Western dance entered China, it has been extremely popular with celebrities, gentlemen and ladies. In order to promote the friendship between China and the West, wealthy businessmen and celebrities from Shanghai's upper class funded and held this "Universal Ball", inviting Western dance dances from all over the world.

The master participated.

Among them are American Dance King, British Dance King, Italian Dance King, etc.

Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded when he saw it.

There are so many King of Dances, they are nothing more than gimmicks put on by the organizers.

Number 30?

That's tomorrow.

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly felt something in his heart, and an idea came to him.

He picked up the phone: "Hey, please help me find Manager Ge... Manager Ge, hello, I am Xiao Meng from Shanghai. I have something to ask you, so please come to my room."

Within a few minutes, Manager Ge hurried to Meng Shaoyuan's room.

He was also a member of the military commander and knew the importance of this mission, so he arrived as soon as Meng Shaoyuan was called.

"Manager Ge, do you know about this All Nations Ball?" Meng Shaoyuan asked straight to the point.

"I know, of course I know." Manager Ge quickly replied: "This is organized by Shanghai tycoon Ji Yunqing, who contacted Baohua Matheson, Changlong Trading Company, etc. It is nothing more than arty. Our International Hotel also contributed a sum of money to sponsor it.

.

In this World Ball, the Shanghai Dance King and Shanghai Dance Queen will be selected. The prize for the first place is 10,000 oceans."

"Where is this American, British and Italian dance king?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Ge laughed: "What foreign dance king? For example, this so-called American Dance King, named Henry, is an actor in the American 'Big Sky World Tour Acrobatic Troupe'. Speaking of this acrobatic troupe, it is even more

Ridiculous, there are only eight people including the boss and actors, two dogs and one cat."

Meng Shaoyuan almost laughed.

Manager Ge shook his head and said: "As long as it is a foreign acrobatic troupe, there will definitely be people to support it. I have seen men and women wearing scantily clad clothes perform two jazz dances. Dogs were made to read, and cats were made to read.

It's just a tightrope walk, and finally a magic show. This Henry is a jazz dancer who performs magic part-time.

In order to make the scene more lively, Ji Yunqing specially invited him here for a small amount of money, just to fill the scene. Don't think he is a foreigner, but as long as there is money to be made, he can run faster than their dogs. Guess

How much does a performance cost? Ten dollars. The same goes for the so-called British and Italian dance kings. Maybe there is an Indian Asan who can pretend to be an Indian dance king."

Meng Shaoyuan really laughed.

Manager Ge is very funny and doesn't seem to have much fondness for foreigners. But he may not know that Indians are very good at dancing.

I thought for a moment: "Manager Ge, I also want to attend this dance."

"ah?"

Manager Ge was stunned.

You were here on a mission, why did you go to the dance party?

Could it be that you have taken a fancy to that ten thousand ocean?

But he didn't know what to say and hesitated for a while: "If you want to participate, that's no problem. We are also sponsoring it. I will just tell them when the time comes."

"Then I'll trouble you." Meng Shaoyuan then said: "By the way, I also need to trouble you to buy me a set of clothes. The more fashionable the better. I'll give you the price."

"No, no need." Manager Ge said repeatedly: "As mentioned above, all your expenses in Shanghai will be reimbursed in real terms. You don't have to worry about how much you spend."

I still don't understand what kind of dance I'm attending and why I'm so popular.
