In about twenty minutes, everyone should be here and the banquet is ready to officially begin.
The two colonels pushed open the door of the Peace Hotel and held the door. Two more Japanese major generals walked in and stood on both sides. Then three Japanese lieutenant generals walked in, the leader of which was Matsui Iwane.
"coming!"
Mao Sanbai stared at Matsui Iwane and recognized such a person at a glance. He touched Yu Zhiqian lightly, and Yu Zhiqian shook his head slightly: "It's okay. Don't rush to do it now. Only after you have eaten enough will you have the strength to work!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian picked up a piece of meat and slowly put it into his mouth.
"Boss, what time has it been and you still want to eat!" Mao Sanbai looked at Yu Zhiqian anxiously. The two of them were on the path of Matsui Iwane. If they took action now, they could easily kill Matsui Iwane.
"We are not here to carry out suicide attacks. Wait, there are plenty of opportunities, don't worry!" Yu Zhiqian continued to eat his food, and at the same time nodded like the people around him, with a smile on his face.
Matsui Iwane, walking forward, the crowd felt that they were giving way. People around him kept applauding, while Matsui Iwane kept waving and nodding, and from time to time he shook hands with people he knew around him and said hello.
Finally, following everyone's gaze, Iwane Matsui, with a smile on his face, walked to the center of the stage in the hall, raised his hands, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Matsui Iwane coughed lightly: "Good evening, everyone. On behalf of the Empire of Japan, I welcome you all. I am Matsui Iwane, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force of the Empire of Japan! "
After the words fell, the Chinese traitors and some Japanese in the crowd took the lead in applauding vigorously, and the rest of the people also agreed one after another, especially the British. Listening to Matsui Iwane saying that the Japanese Empire was called the Great Japanese Empire, they couldn't help but frown. But there is no other way, as many countries are like this now.
"Thank you all again. Let me introduce the important guests of this dinner, the British Consul to the Far East, Mr. Joelson and his family!"
Joelson just took off his hat and bowed to Matsui Iwane. At this time, the relationship between the British and Japan had entered a tense period. Just two months ago, British Ambassador to China Xu Gesen took the A car flying a British flag was strafed by Japanese fighter jets, and he was seriously injured.
"Welcome, German Ambassador to the Far East..."
After the welcome, Matsui Iwane began to give a formal speech. The beginning of the speech was similar to Japan's current arrogant state. Although the declaration of subjugation to China in March was bankrupt, the Japanese still believed that China could not persist.
"The Co-Prosperity Sphere plan of the Empire of Japan has been officially launched. We are not invading China, we are just establishing a Co-Prosperity Sphere so that everyone can prosper together..."
"China has a profound misunderstanding of us, and I admire their bravery very much, but all this is in vain. The Imperial Japanese Army is invincible!"
"us……"
Before he finished speaking, a reporter below suddenly raised his hand, and Matsui Iwane frowned: "This reporter has a question."
"I am the American correspondent in China. Commander, you said that the Japanese army cannot fight, but we all know that the Chinese army at Sihang Warehouse has been holding on for thirty-six hours. What do you think of this incident?
What happened? And according to the information we have, your army has already suffered thousands of casualties when it attacked the warehouse where 800 people were stationed. I would like to ask if the invincibility mentioned by the Commander is this kind of victory based on numbers.
?”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The representatives from the British side immediately laughed. Although the sound was not loud, everyone could hear it in the atmosphere where the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
There was no change on Matsui Iwane's face, and the other party was still an American reporter, so he definitely couldn't be kicked out. He coughed lightly: "Journalist friend, there are several misunderstandings in your question!"
"First of all, I don't know where you got the number of our casualties from. I don't know at all. If what you say is true, maybe you are more suitable to be the commander than me!"
"Second, I admire the defenders of the Sihang Warehouse very much. If they can give up their resistance, I, Matsui Iwane, promise that I will definitely arrange them properly. The order in Shanghai not only needs us to maintain it, but also the people of Shanghai to protect it. They
Can……"
After answering the questions, Matsui Iwane had no intention of continuing. After speaking briefly for a while, he announced the start of the celebration banquet.
"Boss, are you full?" Mao Sanbai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw that Yu Zhiqian kept eating and drinking, and even secretly stuffed some high-calorie food into his pocket.
How do I look at it now? Why do I feel that Yu Zhiqian is just like Brother Yunlong in the TV series? Not only does he have to eat well, but he also takes away a lot of food.
"It's almost here, wait a moment, don't worry!"
As Yu Zhiqian spoke, he slowly took a glass of juice, opened his pocket, and revealed a small C4 bomb inside.
"Tou, when did you bring it?"
Yu Zhiqian smiled: "I didn't use it all last time, so I brought a few pieces as small gifts. I hope our Lord Matsui Iwane likes them!"
Matsui Iwane kept walking among the crowd holding a wine glass, followed by two Japanese major generals, and there were guards around him.
"Head, can't get close!"
Mao Sanbai became more and more anxious. Yu Zhiqian smiled and slowly walked to the podium where Matsui Iwane gave his speech before, leaning on the pillar, and then gently placed a small piece of C4 explosive on the pillar.
Yu Zhiqian walked to the other side, quickly installed the bomb, and then slowly walked to a safe distance: "Okay, that's almost it!" After finishing his work, Yu Zhiqian still had a smile on his face and walked slowly towards the middle of the hall.
s position.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hello Sir Harder!" Yu Zhiqian raised his wine glass and greeted the Spanish ambassador.
Sir Harder was a little surprised when he heard Yu Zhiqian speak fluent Spanish: "Hello, what do you call me?"
"You can call me Yu!"
The two glasses clinked gently: "Mr. Yu? Are you Chinese? Well, it's rare for me to hear a Chinese person speak fluent Spanish."
Although Hader and Yu Zhiqian were chatting, their expressions were very arrogant, but the treatment he received here was not very good. Spain is now in the midst of a civil war. Hader is the ambassador of the Second Spanish Republic, but the current domestic situation in Spain, The Second Republic was crumbling, so Harder was not popular either.
Yu Zhiqian and he chatted slowly and slowly, and Matsui Iwane also contacted most of the people he wanted to see, then lowered his head and asked the adjutant beside him: "Why haven't you seen Zhang Xiaolin?"
"I have informed you that the invitation was sent by someone!" The adjutant thought for a while and made sure that he did not miss Zhang Xiaolin.
Although Zhang Xiaolin was a Chinese, Matsui Iwane knew that to control Shanghai, he could not rely on his own soldiers and needed local gangsters. Zhang Xiaolin, one of the three major forces in Shanghai, openly defected to him, so Matsui Iwane was more concerned about it.
"Go and ask again what he is doing!" Matsui Iwane's face looked a little ugly. He thought his subordinates had not notified him, but the notification had not arrived yet. This person had a problem with his attitude.
"yes!"
The deputy immediately left the banquet hall and dialed Zhang Xiaolin's home phone number.
"Your Excellency, Commander, after asking, the servants at Zhang Xiaolin's house said that Zhang Xiaolin had already set off an hour and a half ago!"
"An hour and a half? So long? Did something happen on the road?"
The deputy shook his head: "I don't know!"
"Send someone to check!"
"yes!"
After handling the matter, Matsui Iwane still had a smile on his face and was still talking to the people around him. There were also many Japanese officers gathered around him to chat.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Mr. Matsui Iwane has something important to announce!"
Matsui Iwane waved his hand, and once again, slowly walked to the center of the main stage. The loudspeaker placed on it ensured that his words could be heard clearly by everyone present.
At this moment, Yu Zhiqian touched Mao Sanbai gently, and Mao Sanbai nodded. The two of them slowly walked towards the door, took out a remote control in their hands, and pressed the detonation button.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two huge explosions sounded, and the host's desk in the middle of the stage was suddenly surrounded by a fire. The huge explosion affected everyone within a radius of fifteen meters. Some guests who were relatively close were directly blown away and fell to the ground. On the ground in the distance.
The people who were about five meters in the middle of the explosion had no chance of survival. The hosting platform in the middle, which was originally about half a meter high, has now become a ruin. Some of the stone sculptures on the handrails were shattered by the explosion and turned into fatal pieces. The stones injured some people on the periphery, and some unlucky ones were hit in the head and fell to the ground dead. Yu Zhiqian and Mao Sanbai were already lying on the ground the moment they pressed the detonation button.
After the explosion, the originally splendid banquet hall had changed its appearance. It was filled with thick smoke and firelight after the explosion. The floor of the entire banquet hall was filled with people, including corpses and injured ones.
"God!"
"Help, help!"
"Ah, I'm injured, someone help me!"
"What happened, why did it happen!"
"My legs, my legs, please help me, my legs!"
The entire banquet hall was filled with various sounds, including screams, cries for help, and panicked footsteps. Coupled with the sonic boom caused by the explosion, it was difficult for everyone, including Yu Zhiqian, to hear what was going on around him.
Some of the uninjured people kept touching their bodies with their hands, and after confirming that they were not injured, they prayed there, while more injured people covered their injured areas with their hands and shouted for help.
"Nani!"
The first Japanese officer who rushed into the banquet hall looked at the hell-like scene inside and froze on the spot. Then he looked around, looking for Matsui Iwane, but he never saw it.
Some white people who were relatively close to the gate rushed towards the gate. Only then did the Japanese officer react: "Hold the gate, no one is allowed to go out!"
