The Sihang Warehouse is really busy tonight. Lao Ba just came. Who is here?
Xie Jinyuan thought doubtfully:
The British army and the German instructors came together. What were they doing? Could it be...
While he was thinking, the sentry reported,
"Sergeant, there are almost three hundred military policemen coming with us."
Gendarmerie, Xie Jinyuan couldn't help but regret after hearing this word.
"Regiment leader, what are the military police doing here? Even if the division headquarters wants reinforcements, they won't reinforce the military police."
Hearing the sentry's doubts, Yang Ruifu couldn't help but feel extremely strange.
Waving his hand to ask the sentry to return to his post, Xie Jinyuan sighed in the face of Yang Ruifu's doubts.
"Oh, it's all because of my talking."
Hearing the leader complaining about himself, Yang Ruifu turned around and looked at the office door. It was already tightly closed by the sentry. Only then did he feel relieved, turned around and asked hesitantly,
"Sir, what do you mean...are they going to take away Sergeant Hanson..."
According to Yang Ruifu, it was nothing for a German to participate in the command. But if he had to carry a gun and start a war with the Japanese, the officer corps would definitely not be happy to see it.
But the problem is who will command the cannon if that guy leaves.
Especially the four more cannons obtained tonight, and the inventory of artillery shells has also been greatly improved. He also hoped that the artillery could contribute more, but this was taken away by the military police...
Apart from that, he still had other doubts in his mind, because if the person was here for Hansen Raul, then why would there be such a big fight? Just make a phone call and send the person out at night.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan just shook his head and sighed, grabbed the phone,
"Pick me up to Yum Hotel, I'll find Mr. Zhang Baiting."
Soon after, Zhang Boting's voice came from the other end of the phone,
"Zhongmin, I want to congratulate you. I heard that the battle at night was well fought, especially the three buildings that were blown up. How did you do it? How could you blow it up on time?"
"Well……"
This is really a question for Xie Jinyuan. He didn't know what Zhang Sixing used. He only vaguely heard that it was a time bomb and asked them to load enough explosives according to his mark.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Si Xing's time bomb is just a smokeless and odorless special carbon strip. The carbon strip has already been engraved with scales, so break off as much as you need.
During World War II, a soldier from Yingjiang used a similar technique to blow up a German ammunition train, but he used cigarettes.
"It's a time bomb. It's a time bomb used by the paratrooper who came back from Germany... Chief of Staff, we have two companies of military police here. Do you know about this?"
Upon hearing the key points of Xie Jinyuan's question, Zhang Boting, the chief of staff on the other end of the phone, paused for a moment before sighing and saying,
"Zhongmin, please don't worry about this matter. We... Lieutenant Colonel Marcus directly contacted the superiors. I don't know the specific situation."
His eyes were filled with sadness and anger, but he could only speak in a pleading tone.
"But... Chief of Staff, now we cannot do without him in our defensive position. You see..."
"Zhongmin, wouldn't you be able to fight without that German paratrooper?"
It turns out that's what happened. No wonder the regimental officer's eyes were angry and sad... Thinking about the matter again, Yang Ruifu guessed that the paratrooper who came back from Germany had probably had a problem with someone in the officer corps...
But that’s not right. If it’s a quarrel with someone in the officer corps, why would the British join in the fun? Besides, the war is still going on. Is there anything we can’t talk about until the war is over?
"That's it, we'd better not get involved in matters related to China Mining and international affairs. Let's leave it at that."
There was a "click" on the phone and the call was hung up. The sorrow and anger in Xie Jinyuan's eyes disappeared, leaving only sadness.
Yes, it is a life-long tragedy. One of the largest countries in the world, the country with the most population in the world, has to rely on foreigners for everything.
"Group seat..."
Looking at Yang Ruifu, who was still confused about the matter, Xie Jinyuan thought for a while and told Yang Ruifu what happened before. Only then did the latter remember why the regiment had questioned Captain Tao's loyalty in the first place.
However, this matter is difficult to handle at the moment, but no matter what, we cannot leave the German instructors and the British, including the military police, outside.
What should I do...
He knew in his heart that Xie Jinyuan told him the matter, not to make him lament with him, but to ask him to think of a way to wipe away the matter from his eyes gently and skillfully.
After thinking about it, he really asked Yang Ruifu to come up with some ideas. He approached Xie Jinyuan and whispered,
"Team leader, this matter needs to be dealt with carefully. It will not be easy for the German instructor to lead the team in person. But we can reveal the news to Mr. Zhang. In addition, we will deal with it first. We can delay it as long as we can."
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Xie Jinyuan already understood the meaning of Yang Ruifu's words.
If those old men and the people in the miscellaneous military camp support Zhang Sixing, and if his unknowing subordinates also support Zhang Sixing, then what if there are two battalions of military police, not to mention two companies.
In addition... Xie Jinyuan carefully thought about his network to see if it was possible to send the news to General Falkenhayn.
Thinking of this, he picked up the phone again and at the same time ordered Yang Ruifu,
"Battle Commander Yang, please find someone to talk to Mr. Zhang about how our soldiers will react when they arrive... When Mr. Zhang was negotiating with them, the officers all called me to my office."
After hearing Xie Jinyuan's instructions, Yang Ruifu nodded and went to make arrangements.
He could roughly guess Xie Jinyuan's plan, that is, as long as the officers did not come forward, it would not mean that the officers and soldiers of the 88th Division were disobeying orders. It would only depend on whether the German lieutenant colonel could suppress the ordinary soldiers.
Before going out, he faintly heard Xie Jinyuan calling, holding the phone.
"Pick up Yum Hotel, I'll find Mr. Zhang Boting..."
The door rang, Yang Ruifu went out, and the door closed, but it did not affect Xie Jinyuan's actions.
He hoped that as long as he could convince the deputy chief of staff, he or he could find someone to send the news directly to the officer corps headquarters, but he just didn't know...
A few minutes later there was a reply on the other end of the phone,
"Thank you, Commander. Chief of Staff Zhang has taken a rest."
On the other side of the phone, the deputy chief of staff's adjutant sighed and said,
"Thank you, sir. The chief of staff said, if it's not about war, then... thank you, sir, you've done your best."
Raising his hand high, he really wanted to smash the phone against the wall. In the end, he gently closed the phone. After all, this was their only communication channel with the outside world.
He put down the phone and sat on the chair with his legs weak and heavy. He took off his hat and put his fingers in his hair.
Sourness filled Xie Jinyuan's chest. The corners of his mouth turned downward, and his hand touched the handle of the gun several times...
It’s a joke, it’s a joke. When the war is tense, soldiers who protect the country are arrested for the sake of foreigners... This, this is really a big joke.
