Zhuanshanbao looked at Xu Xiaoya's beautiful figure disappearing from the campus, feeling lost.
Mo Zichen was also disappointed. He hadn't had time to finish his first date with classmate Wang Jiayi. To be honest, this was the most beautiful girl Mo Zichen had ever met in his life, bar none!
Mo Zichen thinks that Wang Jiayi is more beautiful than Jiangnan and Sai Hongfu.
"What a wonderful woman." Mo Zichen looked at the campus of Baptist University with a sense of loss and murmured, "How great would it be if I could marry her and go home as an aunt?"
While he was murmuring, the slogans on campus suddenly became louder.
"Take back the concession!"
"Restore governance!"
"Self-determination of nations!"
"Abolish consular jurisdiction!"
"Abolish the unequal treaties!"
Accompanied by louder slogans, groups of students holding banners surged out from the gate of Baptist University like a raging flood. Immediately afterwards, students came from the other end of the street.
A large group of students, this group of students also held banners, but they were students from another university.
The two groups of students quickly merged and moved forward shouting slogans.
Mo Zichen was about to light a cigarette, but when he saw this scene, he immediately froze there.
Zhuan Shanbao and Han Feng were also shocked. They had experienced countless bloody storms on the battlefield, but this was the first time they saw this kind of resistance model from students.
"Is there any use for this?"
"If shouting slogans was effective, the concession would have been taken back long ago."
"Just watch, the police are coming to suppress it."
While the three of them were talking, sharp whistles suddenly sounded from the street in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of patrolmen holding batons swooped over menacingly. The patrolman at the front raised his baton high and smashed it on the head of a leading student. At this moment, suddenly
There was a gunshot, and the patrolman immediately screamed and dropped his baton.
But it turned out that the shot just shot through his palm.
The next moment, a group of police officers and soldiers from the patrol battalion with live ammunition rushed over from the other end of the street and surrounded a hundred patrol officers holding batons. Facing the patrol battalion's sharp bayonets, the patrol battalions who looked menacing just now immediately fell into disarray.
Withered, he threw away his baton and squatted on the ground one by one with his head in his hands.
Then, an officer from the patrol battalion jumped onto the front hood of a truck, then raised his loudspeaker and shouted to the surroundings: "The commander has an order. Students have the right to take to the streets to express political demands. Anyone, anyone,
Institutions are not allowed to obstruct it for any reason, and anyone who dares to disobey will be shot to death!"
Upon hearing this, all the students present immediately cheered hysterically.
After cheering, male and female students from the two universities continued to march forward chanting slogans.
This time, no patrolman dared to block the parade. Didn't you see that the big soldiers in the patrol camp were holding guns and watching eagerly to provide armed protection for the students in the parade? Soldiers were dispatched to provide armed protection for the parade.
, I am afraid that only Xu Rui can do such a thing.

Concession Industry Bureau Building.
Steve, Jonathan, Ferguson and Johnson were having a meeting when they suddenly heard the noise on the street outside. The noise became louder and louder, almost breaking the windows. Steve and the four of them immediately frowned.
I frowned, it must be students from some university taking to the streets to demonstrate again, these damn students.
At that moment, the four of them had no intention of continuing the meeting, so they all got up and walked to the window.
Through the open window, Steve and the others could clearly see the movement on Sichuan Road ahead. Sichuan Road is the main road connecting the North District and the Central District of the Concession. It is very spacious, but this time it was almost crowded with students marching.
Okay, looking at these angry Chinese students, Steve and the other four immediately frowned subconsciously.
"Johnson, what is your police department doing?" Jonathan said angrily, "Why don't you stop it?"
Big beads of sweat immediately appeared on Johnson's forehead, and he kept saying: "I'm going to make a call right now..."
"Okay, there's no need to make any calls." Ferguson shook his head and said, "Didn't you see that these marching students were protected by armed personnel from the patrol camp?"
"Oh special? Armed protection?" Steve and the other three looked at each other in confusion upon hearing this.
However, when they took a closer look, the three of them discovered that there were actually a large group of patrol battalion officers and soldiers protecting the students on the left and right sides of the parade. However, the flow of people was too dense, so the three of them did not see it just now.
, now that they saw it clearly, the faces of Steve and the other three immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Although student demonstrations cannot fundamentally change anything, they can greatly influence and guide public opinion.
Such a large-scale demonstration took place in the concession today. It will definitely be reported in the newspapers tomorrow, and it will have a very significant impact on the direction of public opinion in the West. Because these students are all Chinese elites, the West can slander China as still in a period of ignorance.
, it is said that the Chinese people’s wisdom has not yet been enlightened, but it absolutely cannot be said that these students are ignorant!
The reason is also very simple, because these students receive Western education!
If Western public opinion dares to say that these Chinese students are ignorant, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that their education has failed? This is politically incorrect for the Western world, and Steve and the others will reap the consequences.
Since students are not ignorant, their demands must be taken seriously!
Therefore, during the Republic of China, the demonstrations that broke out in the concessions in Shanghai and Tianjin were often the most influential!
However, the concession authorities are not happy to see students taking to the streets to demonstrate, so more often than not, patrols will be dispatched to brutally obstruct them. But now, it is impossible, because with the armed protection of the patrol battalion, the patrols of the public concession police station are basically impossible.
I didn't dare to go to the streets to stop it, and it was useless if I did. People would suppress it within minutes.
Therefore, this parade is destined to become the largest and most influential guerrilla in Shanghai's history! And it is destined to go down in history! It is even foreseeable that this parade will have a significant impact on Western public opinion.
, so it is not impossible to prompt Western countries to adjust their strategies towards China.

At the same time, on the top rooftop of Chinachem Hotel.
A reporter from the Central News Agency pressed the shutter repeatedly and took live photos of the grand parade on Sichuan Road. Then he went downstairs to find a photo studio, developed them as quickly as possible, and selected those with the widest view and the most dramatic scenes.
The two grand panoramic photos, plus a local close-up photo, were immediately sent back to Chongqing in a coded manner.
As early as the 1840s, fax technology existed in the world. However, due to technical limitations, the cost of fax technology was too high, so it did not become popular on a large scale. However, on the intelligence front that pays attention to timeliness, Figure
Radio fax technology for document materials is indispensable.
Therefore, in the afternoon, the two panoramic photos taken by this reporter from the Central News Agency and a close-up photo of officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion on guard with guns appeared on Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's desk, along with these three photos.
Also appearing on Chairman Chiang's desk was a detailed communication about the armed march.
"Mother Xipi!" Chairman Jiang threw the finished communication on the table and said angrily, "This guy Xu Rui has so many tricks up his sleeves, he actually organized an armed parade!" After a short pause, Chairman Jiang said
Chang said angrily, "It was too late for others to stop the students from marching, but he actually supported the students!"
Chen Cheng cheered and said with a wry smile: "The Communist Party has always been good at this, it's not surprising."
He Yingqin nodded and agreed: "And if the students in Shanghai made such a fuss, the impact would be great. The media focus immediately shifted to the issue of taking back the control of the concession. However, the patrol battalion implemented military control of the public concession, but no one paid attention to it.
If you look at this alone, Xu Rui has achieved his goal."
When it came to the patrol camp imposing military control on the concession, Chairman Chiang suddenly became more and more upset.
Chairman Chiang simply could not imagine that Xu Rui dared to impose military control on the concession!
What shocked Generalissimo Chiang even more was that after Xu Rui announced the imposition of military control on the concession, the Concession Industry Bureau and the governments of the United States, Britain, Italy and other countries behind it were unable to do anything. It had already been two days since the incident happened, and there was still no government.
Take any substantial punitive action against the patrol camp.
Sometimes, Chairman Chiang is really confused. Why are the Western powers so tough in front of the National Government and him? But so weak in front of Xu Rui and the patrol battalion?
Previously, Xu Rui's patrol battalion invaded the western part of the concession and detained prisoners of war from the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion. They have not released them yet, and the British government has only recruited them. Now Xu Rui has forcefully imposed military control on the concession, and the British government still has no expression.
This damn British government is about to turn into a weak and incompetent Manchu Qing government.
Are the Western powers really just paper tigers? If you are tough, they will be soft?
Thinking of this, Chairman Jiang became more and more irritable. He turned to Dai Li and asked: "Yunong, when can the Hurricane Team take action?"
Dai Li quickly said: "Don't worry, commissioner, Wang Tianmu is already formulating a plan. It could be as soon as five days or as slowly as half a month. The military hurricane team will definitely take action."
"Half a month is too slow, still too slow." Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "It must be fast, it must be fast!"
Chairman Jiang really didn't want to wait for a moment. He couldn't wait to hear the news of Xu Rui's death immediately, because Xu Rui and the patrol battalion he led formed a clear contrast with the National Government. The more capable Xu Rui was, the more helpless the foreigners were.
The more incompetent it appears that Chairman Chiang is incompetent and the tougher the patrol battalion behaves in the concession, the more it appears that the Nationalist Government is weak and can be bullied.
Such a comparison made him even more uncomfortable than killing Chairman Chiang.
