Imamura Hitaro just smiled and looked at his "beloved disciple".

"It's true that there are some business dealings. In France, Pitt and I are partners." Cheng Qianfan did not hesitate and nodded calmly. "There are some business dealings between the British and Americans, especially an American businessman. I once helped him a little favor, and later I cooperated more in business."

As he said that, he walked in front and signaled Imamura Hitotaro to pay attention to the stairs and steps, "I have told you about these things to you."

"Well, I have a little impression." Hitotaro Imamura nodded, "Good, you're doing a good job."

Imamura Hitaro is quite satisfied with Kentaro Miyazaki's "broad friendship" and "prosperous business", especially the latter.

...

"Give you a task," said Hitotaro Imamura.

"Teacher, please give me instructions." Cheng Qianfan said.

The two went down the stairs and went to the living room on the first floor to sit down. Kogoro Imamura ordered his servants to deliver snacks and personally delivered red wine that had been awakened.

"This is the fine wine Kentaro sent last time." Hitotaro Imamura took a sip of red wine and said.

"Students do not have any great skills and cannot share their worries for teachers. They almost ruin their reputation. All they can do is to respect the teacher and drink some wine." Cheng Qianfan said humbly.

"Okay, things are over when they are over." Hitotaro Imamura glared at his student, "You are my student, so I naturally believe in you and protect you. If someone bullies you in the future, I will not stand by."

After all, this kid was a little dissatisfied with the suspicion and investigation by the military. He was inadvertently expressing his emotions in his words just now.

"Teacher, what is the task you just mentioned?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"The evil Soviet Russia invaded Zhang Gufeng of Manchuria, which posed a great threat to the empire's border situation in Manchuria." said Imamura Hitaro.

Zhang Gufeng?

Cheng Qianfan showed a serious expression.

After the September 18th Incident, Japan invaded Northeast China and then supported the puppet emperor Puyi to establish the puppet Manchukuo.

This also led to extremely tense relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, especially in the border areas where the two sides continued to get friction.

Against this background, just last summer and autumn, a military conflict broke out between Japan and the Soviet Union in the Northeast, which was the "Zhang Gufeng Incident".

This incident was actually the Japanese Kwantung Army trying to test the Soviet Union's military strength and bottom line and the possibility of advancing north.

However, the Zhang Gufeng incident ended with Japan's failure.

The Soviet Union took the opportunity to occupy Zhanggufeng and directly marked it as a boundary mountain, while the puppet "Manchukuo" controlled by Japan lost the estuary of the Tumen River.

"Teacher, what do you mean is to ask me about the reactions of the French, British, and European and American powers such as the United States to the dispute between the empire and the Soviet Union?" Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and asked.

"The evil polar bear is a greedy beast, and it is also the common enemy of the Empire and Britain, France and the United States." Imamura Hitaro said solemnly, "The Empire's struggle with the Soviet Union in Manchuria should be supported by the 'free world'."

"The student understands." Cheng Qianfan thoughtfully and nodded, "I will talk to Pete, or Xi Neng, even Mr. Tander, as well as British and American friends about the international situation."

Imamura Hitaro nodded slightly.

...

Looking at Miyazaki Kentaro's back as he left, Hitotaro Imamura's expression was a little solemn.

The military headquarters, especially the Kwantung Army, did not calm down due to the failure of the Zhang Gufeng incident, and still tried to make a breakthrough in the north.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is worried about this, believing that the Soviet Union is a giant beast and should not be easily provoked.

However, the Kwantung Army was full of fighting spirit, vowing to wash away the shame of Zhang Gufeng's failure, and bite a bite of meat on the polar bear, opening the passage for the empire to advance northward.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was unable to stop the Kwantung Army's strategy, so he thought that he could do something in it and get a share of it in the future.

Kentaro Miyazaki has a low status, but he has good relations with the French Concession and has some contacts with the United Kingdom and the United States.

Even this student had some business dealings with the Soviet Union. Kentaro did not hide it from it, and he also hinted at him that he had "reported".

Kentaro Miyazaki is a messenger.

When the senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are temporarily inconvenient to communicate directly with European and American powers, "little people" like Kentaro Miyazaki can actually play the role of threading needles.

In addition, Kentaro Miyazaki's superficial identity is Cheng Qianfan, a senior Chinese police officer in the police station. A Chinese who is kind to the Japanese empire, acts as a messenger for the Japanese side. This is a very wonderful arrangement. Once the matter is leaked, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can also have more room for maneuver to avoid excessive stimulation of the Soviet Union.

Imamura Hitaro is still a little satisfied with his plan to think of using Kentaro Miyazaki's special identity to operate this matter.

...

"Brother Fan, what's wrong?" Li Hao asked, looking at the rearview mirror.

Brother Fan kept thinking silently after getting on the bus, and Li Hao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"It's okay, I'm thinking about things." Cheng Qianfan said, "The hospital is ready."

"It's ready. Brother Fan, you have already greeted me in advance. Dr. Lin from St. Maria Hospital personally arranged to reserve a first-class delivery room." Li Hao said.

Bai Ruolan's due date is at the beginning of next month, adjacent to the Spring Festival. Although there is still one month before the due date, Cheng Qianfan has already contacted the hospital to prepare a delivery room and is equipped with the best obstetrician and gynecologist waiting.

The Chinese name of St. Mary Hospital is Guangci Hospital, which is located on Jin Sheng Road. The hospital has three types of wards, namely first-class, second-class and general ward.

The first-class and second-class wards are more expensive, mainly for French and rich Chinese, and church people can afford it.

The cost of ordinary wards is low, and it can be afforded by a well-off family.

The first-class ward of Guangci Hospital has always been tense, and because it is a French Church Hospital, it has always been arrogant. If you want to book a first-class ward, it is not just money that can connect the relationship.

However, with Mr. Cheng's power and great reputation in the French Concession, Mrs. Cheng is waiting for delivery, and Mrs. Xiao Cheng said that she would book a first-class delivery room and the hospital must reserve it one month in advance.

"Brother Fan, which one is Nai Mom?" Haozi asked.

Regarding Naima, Jin Kemu's wife helped find one, and the teacher's wife He Xuelin also helped find one. Even Zhang Renfeng, the Qing Gang, specially invited an experienced Naima from her hometown in Shaoxing. She said she had enough milk and brought several young ladies, and all of them were chubby.

"Use all three, see which one the children like." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said.

The three families have good intentions, especially the teacher and the teacher's wife regard him as a parent-child. This is a happy event and a great intention. It is not suitable to refuse any family, so they simply use it. This kind of favor must be continued.

His eyes were gentle. When he thought of the soon-to-be-born child, Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but feel expectation and joy in his heart.

...

Lafeifang, Xiao Cheng’s new home.

This is a Western-style two-story villa.

There is also a small garden in front of the door and the backyard.

"Did you feel better?" Cheng Qianfan helped Bai Ruolan sit down.

Before leaving the door today, Ruolan felt uncomfortable and did not go to the banquet with Cheng Qianfan.

"It's much better, but it's a bit hard for a while. After drinking the salty soup cooked by Mama Lu, he calmed down." Bai Ruolan said.

Lu's mother is a maid hired by the Cheng family. She is a well-known maid in Shanghai. She is good at serving women who are about to give birth.

In addition to Mama Lu, Mr. Xiao Cheng also had two more girls at home. Although they were girls, Bai Ruolan treated them like her sisters. Both girls were bought by Bai Ruolan from the nursery.

"Master, the freshly cooked tremella soup." The little maid Lizi brought a bowl of sweet soup over, "The wife had already ordered it to be cooked on the stove."

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.

With a little maid here, Bai Ruolan showed shyness and gave her husband a blank look.

"Where is Xiaobao?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"I fell asleep." Bai Ruolan knew what her husband meant, so she smiled, "Xiaobao has drunk sweet soup."

"I still have some things to deal with later. I have to go to the police station. You can rest early." Cheng Qianfan smiled. He stirred the sweet soup with the spoon, blew it, and sent it to Bai Ruolan's mouth.

Bai Ruolan took a small bite and shook her head. Seeing her husband's enjoyable food, she was filled with joy.

However, the worry under the happy face was still seen by Cheng Qianfan.

"Just go and handle some official duties." Cheng Qianfan understood what his wife was worried about, so he said.

Bai Ruolan was a little relieved.

He accompanied Ruolan for a walk in the living room and told the two little maids and Mother Lu to take care of his wife. Cheng Qianfan changed into a coat and hurriedly left home.

...

Luo Yannian's eyes were filled with pain, expressions of disappointment and anger.

He looked at Jiang Qi who was kneeling in front of him, and finally sighed with all his emotions.

Jiang Qi asked.

When he broke through with the second squadron of Bao, he was unfortunately captured by the Japanese army. Facing the interrogation of the Japanese army and the bayonets waving by the Japanese soldiers, he did not surrender at the beginning.

However, when a Japanese sergeant placed a box of canned beef in front of the hungry Jiang Qi, he betrayed his faith and the people.

When the Japanese army learned that Jiang Qi was the Red Party and was once a traffic officer for Luo Yannian, an important "leader" of the Shanghai Red Party, he was overjoyed and decided to let him escape, so that he could return to the Red Party and wait for an opportunity to arrest Luo Yannian, and then strive to get the Shanghai Red Party to be able to beat the Shanghai Red Party in one place.

Objectively speaking, this plan is almost seamless.

Jiang Qi was not really tortured, and there were no traces of torture. If he returned to Shanghai, almost no one would have thought that he had been captured and rebelled.

What Jiang Qi never expected was that Ah Hai became suspicious of him just because of a bun, and then gradually realized his shameful face.

Jiang Qi cried so hard that he cried and begged Luo Yannian to let him go.

Just when Luo Yannian was silent, Jiang Qi suddenly became angry and wanted to hold Luo Yannian hostage, but Luo Yannian grabbed his arm and fell over his shoulder.
