An old man in his 60s, with a pair of gray cheeks and a long beard, who was still rosy and wearing a Chinese-style cyan robe like the old man next door, smiled and looked at Liu Lang who had just gotten up and washed up.
Liu Tuanzuo was a little confused. Why did this old man smile so "kindly"? It was like looking at his grandson.
Liu Lang was sure that his old man never had an overseas father.
"My name is Situ Xianyi." The white-bearded old man introduced himself directly with a smile.
"Who are you, Situ Me*tang?" Liu Lang suddenly opened his eyes.
With the surname Situ in the United States, and being able to appear in this Hongmen location, it was difficult for Liu Lang not to be associated with that historical celebrity.
"Huh? Colonel Liu is awesome! Do you know my pseudonym?" A trace of surprise flashed across the face of the white-bearded old man who spoke with a strong Cantonese accent.
"It turns out it's Master Situ, Liu Lang was frightened." When I went there, it turned out to be the big boss personally visiting. Liu Lang hurriedly bowed to the old man with his hands clasped in a polite manner and according to the etiquette of the world.
Situ Mei*tang can afford this social courtesy, no matter in terms of his age or the contribution he has made to China in the past time and space.
Stuart Me*tang, yes, not Stuart Leighton.
He has nothing to do with the future ambassador to China. He is a big shot that anyone who has read the history of the Republic of China cannot ignore, a real big shot.
The founder of Hongmen, who broke into the United States alone at the age of 14 at the end of the 19th century and became famous all over the world, was named the "Overseas Chinese Leader in the United States" by the future Republic, not because of the strength of his subordinates, but because of the strength of his subordinates.
Let Liu Lang respect him.
When Liu Lang came to this world, he had seen many people with greater power than him. Whether it was General He who was in charge of the north, or his new uncle Wang Tang of Sichuan, they were all masters with an army of 200,000.
But this man was different. When he was young, he wandered overseas and took root in the United States on the other side of the ocean, but he never forgot his homeland. Since the beginning of this century, after establishing a deep friendship with Mr. Sun who went to the United States, Situ Mei
Situ Meitang launched many fund-raising activities to support the domestic revolution. After the all-out war in China began, in order to support the anti-Japanese war, Situ Meitang initiated the establishment of the "New York Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Fund Raising Association". In eight years, recorded donations reached 15 million.
With the establishment of the Republic, this man not only issued a document supporting the Red Party's idea of convening a new political consultative conference and forming a people's democratic government, but also traveled thousands of miles to return to his homeland until he died of illness in Peiping at the age of more than 80.
It can be said that no matter whether he is the boss of an overseas Chinese gang or not, as a Chinese, he is definitely qualified and excellent. How could Liu Lang not show his performance in the face of such a person?
Show yourself enough respect?
"Haha, Captain Liu is no stranger to me! Then why don't you go to New York to sit with me, and why don't you make a special trip to San Francisco to play, causing the old man and me to run away from planes and cars?
It's been a whole day. The United States is not smaller than our China!" Situ Meitang burst out laughing, patted the chair next to him, and motioned for Liu Lang to sit down and chat.
Liu Lang smiled bitterly.
This was really not intentional on his part. He came to the United States mainly to earn money from Americans and buy some new equipment. But when it came to dealing with this overseas Chinese leader, Liu Lang really never thought about this big shot.
I have always dealt with high-level officials at the national government level, so why would I have a close relationship with him, a small group leader?
"If Qinghe hadn't called me so late at night, I wouldn't have known that Captain Liu Lang, who is famous both at home and abroad, was visiting me in Hongmen. I almost missed it! However, Captain Liu didn't let me wait.
The overseas Chinese are disappointed. Not only did we have a battle with the Japanese swordsmen last night, it once again increased the prestige of our country. The battle at the Great Wall wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese invaders who defended our country thousands of miles away. They are actually our heroes of China, and tens of thousands of people from Hongmen.
Everyone was amazed." Situ Meitang looked at Liu Lang with a solemn expression.
Liu Lang's name is certainly not unfamiliar to Situ Meitang, who is extremely concerned about the domestic situation, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled across half of the United States to see him as soon as he heard Liu Lang's name.
"Don't dare, Liu Lang is a soldier, and it is his duty to defend the territory. How could he have such a good reputation as Master Situ? As for the battle with the Japanese swordsman yesterday, he was not angry that his subordinates spoke rudely to China, so he came to the stage to fight and destroyed
I hope Hall Master Situ will forgive me for breaking Hongmen's rules." Liu Lang hurriedly waved his hands and said in a formal tone.
Those who don’t know, think that Liu Tuanzuo has read a lot of poems and books and is a well-educated person. But I don’t know that this fat person is already trying his best. If he chats for a few more words, he will betray him.
Fortunately, what Liu Lang mentioned about yesterday made Situ Meitang frown slightly and said solemnly: "The reason why Japanese samurai appeared in our Chinese arena yesterday is because the San Francisco Hall is unwilling to damage our Hongmen.
In fact, in my opinion, since the two tribes have become incompatible with each other, there is no need to say anything about loyalty to them. Fortunately, Captain Liu used his power to kill the Japanese in the ring, otherwise he would have
If the Chinese in the United States know that we, Hongmen, have transactions with the Japanese, everyone in San Francisco will surely feel guilty."
It goes without saying that Situ Meitang was able to gradually combine the two main halls to establish Hongmen. Needless to say, he had a mentality. Just listening to Liu Lang's words, he knew that this anti-Japanese hero had some objections to the Japanese presence in Chinatown, so he immediately gave an explanation.
Of course, this is Liu Lang, who not only has the aura of an anti-Japanese hero, but also shows superhuman strength. If it were anyone else, even if he made a mistake, a Hongmen boss would never admit it so easily.
.
This is the first time that Hongmen has faced Liu Lang to explain why he invited warriors from the island country to this Chinese place. Moreover, he is the biggest boss of Hongmen, and his words are very clear. Liu Lang's unhappiness will naturally disappear.
The smoke disappeared.
Once the resentment was gone, coupled with Mr. Situ's former prestige, Liu Tuanzuo showed rare humility, and the old man and the young man talked happily.
This conversation lasted from the evening to the meal. Chinese people have always had the habit of talking at the wine table, so naturally it was a good meal with good wine and food.
After drinking and eating, the two finally talked about business.
"After listening to Captain Liu's briefing on the domestic situation today, I realized that the crisis in my homeland has reached the point of life and death. We are determined to destroy the Japanese people and our country is still determined. We, the overseas Chinese, must not sit idly by and watch. I want to set up the "U.S. Fundraising Anti-Japanese Association"
", calling on Chinese Americans to donate money to defend our country thousands of miles away. I wonder if Captain Liu has any better suggestions?" Situ Meitang tentatively asked Liu Langdao.
After all, Liu Lang is not only an anti-Japanese hero, but his official status in the United States is as a colonel military attache appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs to inspect ordnance. Situ Meitang asked him this, and there was nothing wrong with him at all.
Liu Lang had a wry smile on his face. The "American Fund-raising Anti-Japanese Association" that was supposed to be established after the all-out war was established three years in advance. Naturally, he could get more money to export to China. However, that money can really
Is it used to fight against Japan? Today when the four major families are gradually taking control of China's economy?
You know, when Situ Meitang set foot in mainland China in the future, he found that the more than 10 million U.S. dollars he had worked so hard to raise had been used by the government with no name, and it was impossible to determine where it was used. He was extremely sad and refused.
After being recruited by the bald man, he started looking for troops that could save his own people and were in danger, so he contacted the Red Army.
Could it be said that this money is going to fatten those country bugs again? Liu Lang will not be willing to do so no matter what.
But Liu Lang can't directly say, if you have money, please join my independent group! I can guarantee that I will definitely switch to weapons to fight the little devils. Liu Lang dares to say that as long as he says this, this old man who loves his hometown will definitely turn his head.
He left without even thinking of seeing a dime. At this time, this boss still had great trust in the government led by his good friend.
"Actually, I think it would be better to donate in kind, such as ordnance or equipment that is urgently needed in the country. Moreover, it would be best to have agents in the country to supervise the use of materials." After Liu Lang thought for a moment, he decided to use this method.
It's better to say it tactfully.
Situ Meitang is such a smart person, what else doesn't he understand when Liu Lang says this? A look of anger suddenly appeared on his face, and then he became a little depressed.
The Hongmen boss, who has reached seventy years of age, understands very well that corruption has been common at all times and in all over the world, even when the country is in ruins and the family is in danger. But even if he knew it, he could not solve it.
Liu Lang could only sigh slightly. Not to mention him as an overseas Chinese, even the bald man who is the number one person in Chinese politics today cannot solve the terrible and stubborn disease of corruption. As long as he dares to attack those people, that is him.
It's time to step down.
After all, it is not just a human problem, it is actually a system problem. In today's government, the interests of small groups have long overridden the interests of the country and the nation.
Liu Lang was even sure that even if it was arms and supplies, those guys would dare to sell them and put them in their own pockets. They had never done so little before, and the frontline soldiers still only had twenty rounds of ammunition in their hands.
.
What should I do? I want to do something for my hometown, but I am worried that the unused space will only feed the moths. The old man and Liu Lang frowned and thought about countermeasures.
"Master, I have a suggestion. I don't know if it's okay." Zhou Dapeng, who was responsible for filling tea and water for the two of them, suddenly spoke cautiously.
