"According to the latest intelligence obtained from Japan: the Japanese Marine Corps may launch a raid on Shanghai in the near future, and the Japanese naval fleet will enter Wusongkou tonight. A raid may occur at any time."
After Mr. Dong sent the telegram to the United States, he compiled a telegram himself and sent it to the base headquarters.
If this thing really happens, it will certainly be bad news. But on the other hand, Shanghai is being attacked by the Japanese navy. The Central Army cannot turn a blind eye and must organize forces to stop it.
This may delay or even suspend the encirclement and suppression of the base areas, giving the base areas a chance to breathe. We should seize the opportunity to publicize our party's proposition of joint anti-Japanese resistance, and mass organizations in various places should once again push the anti-Japanese movement to a climax.
After Mr. Dong sent the telegram, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous. Lu Ming held an important position in the reactionary organization of the Kuomintang, but he was hiring him under cover, and even entrusted him with such an important telegram to send.
Could it be that Lu Ming couldn't find a telegraph operator? It's a joke. There are a lot of people in Lanyishe who can do this job. What's more, his fiancée Yuan Mingzhu has been sending telegraphs for him and her in the past. He only needs to make a phone call and he will be there soon.
That will solve the problem.
Lu Ming actually ran back to Wanguo Apartment and asked him to send this telegram. His purpose was very clear, which was to reveal the news to him.
But he didn't know why Lu Ming did this. If he did this, why would he join an anti-communist organization like the Blue Clothes Club?
Mr. Dong opened the big box sent by Lu Ming. The contents almost blinded him. It was so rich that he could not even imagine it.
There are not only Camel cigarettes made in the United States, but also ten tins of his favorite 35 brand cigarettes. This was his life when he was in England, but now he can only smoke the cheapest Hardman.
In addition to cigarettes, there are several cans of espresso powder from Colombia with filter paper inside, several bags of black tea, sugar cubes, several bags of bread, several tubes of biscuits, and five cans of canned peaches.
Mr. Dong looked at these and didn't know what to do. Except for the bread, which couldn't be stored and had to be eaten, he couldn't bear to touch the rest. He had to find a way to transport it back to the base and give it to the chief.
He didn't know what life was like in the base area now, but the headquarters had stopped funding for their activities. From this point of view, one could imagine the predicament of the base area.
How to transport these things back to the base area is also a big problem. The base area has been tightly sealed and no scarce materials can be transported in.
He could only rely on this radio station to get in touch with the headquarters and pass on information and orders from the headquarters. This was done by delivery, with no personal contact.
The intelligence delivery points were all extremely small brick holes, or in a branch of a tree. It was impossible for him to put a large box at the delivery point.
"Anyway, let's store it first and send it away when we have the opportunity." He stuffed the big box under the bed and put it away.
Lu Ming paid him a monthly salary of 100 yuan, and a one-time advance payment of 600 yuan, which was a considerable fortune for him.
He went to the pawn shop to redeem all his clothes and a gold pen, and there was still a lot left. He counted the money in his hands and felt that he had become a small property owner.
Unlike Lu Ming, Mr. Dong was used to being thrifty. He decided to strictly limit his expenses and only spent 20 yuan a month. He saved all the rest and used it to pay party dues when he had the opportunity.
When Lu Ming returned to his room, he was already very tired and sleepy. He thought he would fall asleep when he went to bed, but after lying there for a long time, he was still agitated and couldn't calm down.
He couldn't figure out what was bothering him for the moment, but he always felt like something was wrong.
He got up, poured a glass of whiskey, looked at the English on the bottle, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he shouted: I have been fooled by this devilish son of Muto.
He finally figured it out. The Japanese plan to attack Shanghai that was conveyed to him through Kenta was completely a trap carefully designed by Muto. He deliberately leaked important military information to him, with the purpose of using his mouth to inform the United States.
Muto knew that once Lu Ming got the news, he would definitely tell his American teacher Frank, and would also notify Sheng Youde as soon as possible, and Sheng Youde would soon pass the news to the British government and the royal family.
Lu Ming finally understood Muto's true intentions, this treacherous little devil.
Why did Muto do this? It seems clear now.
Because Japan does not want to really fight China this time because it wants to scare China but is also afraid that the situation will get out of control, so it must find a mediator in advance, and Britain and the United States are of course the best candidates.
The Japs are real ghosts. They mistook Yingmei for being the owner of a porcelain rental shop and deliberately let the news out, saying that they were going to have a fight with the shop owner in the porcelain shop. I will not be responsible if your porcelain is broken.
Of course, the owners of the porcelain rental shops cannot tolerate this kind of thing happening. If someone fights in the shop they rent, it is tantamount to destroying the shop. The two people fighting must be separated before the fight.
With the mediator, Japan does not have to worry about the situation getting out of control and can assume a posture of fighting to the end without restraint.
This is the best way to scare and blackmail your opponent. I don't beat you because of the face of the person who started the fight. If I really beat you, you will die an ugly death.
He can also tell the person who started the fight, I'm giving you face and I won't fight, but you have to tell the other person that you have to pay a certain price for it.
In order not to suffer losses for their own interests in Shanghai, countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States will definitely try their best to mediate and even force the Republic of China government to accept Japan's unreasonable conditions. This is going astray.
Since the Republic of China government could not defeat its opponents and was also afraid of the power of Britain, the United States and other countries, it probably had to compromise and agree to the unreasonable conditions proposed by its opponents. Then all Japan's goals would be achieved.
Old classmate, old classmate, horse guy, you even deceived me, are you still a human being? Don’t you know that my IQ is higher than yours?
Lu Ming felt sad in his heart. In fact, he really valued his friendship with Muto as classmates. Now it seems that it was just stupid and ridiculous wishful thinking.
He wanted to call Sheng Youde immediately, but he put it down when his hand touched the phone.
Since he can figure it out, how can Sheng Youde not figure it out? That is absolutely impossible, and facts have long proven this.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly: He was really too young. Compared with these old foxes, he was just a young kid, a big fool who happily helped count money after being sold.
Of course, he didn't believe how smart Muto was. It was estimated that this was not necessarily Muto's personal idea, but the instruction of an old politician or warlord in Japan.
Muto also ignored the friendship between classmates and was willing to be used as a gunman. This is the essence of Japanese people.
As a result, the naive Kenta was fooled first, and Kenta's emotions affected him, and he was also fooled.
But saying you were deceived might be a bit too much, but in fact you were taken advantage of.
But the essence of the matter will not change because of being deceived. What the Japanese use is just a trick that harms others but does not benefit oneself.
Even if Muto clearly told him that this was a Japanese trick, he still had to tell Sheng Youde and report it to the Nanjing government. He still had to inform Frank. After all, this was a national matter and no small matter.
And isn’t it hoped that the United States will intervene in all this?
You can't just do the opposite and encourage the government to fight an all-out war with Japan in Shanghai. He doesn't have that ability, and neither does the government.
Japan came to scare and blackmail China because they were not prepared for a full-scale war, while China was not even qualified to prepare for war. This is the tragedy of a poor country and a poor people.
Lu Ming thought of another thing. Sheng Youde insisted not to let him and Sheng Muyi inform Zhang Hanqing and the government authorities of the 520 plan, saying that they were complying with the agreement reached with Japan. Now he had some doubts.
He didn't think Sheng Youde would take this agreement seriously. This matter must not be that simple, and there must be other purposes.
Thinking that Sheng Youde has profited more than a hundredfold from the economic crisis sweeping the world, will he also profit a lot from the agreement with Japan?
Lu Ming couldn't believe anyone anymore, at least not blindly, but he believed that Sheng Youde would definitely give him a satisfactory answer to this question.
He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, and then he couldn't help but laugh at himself. If he could guess the thoughts of the old fox Sheng Youde, he wouldn't be an old fox anymore.
