Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh coincidentally four
ntent
At seven o'clock, amid weird music, the Japanese military leaders came to the hall surrounded by the emperor's envoy. The audience burst into warm applause, which lasted for a long time. Who dared not to applaud in such an environment?
The navy and army were separated on the left and right, with Admiral Furukawa Mineichi on the left, all of whom were naval generals, and Army Admiral Shunroku Hata on the right, all of whom were army generals.
In the front row of the audience, on the left are Chen Gongbo, Zhao Zunyue, Lu Ying and other senior officials from the municipal government. On the right are representatives of Japanese businessmen. Behind them are all well-known business and financial figures from Shanghai and pseudo-government officials from various districts and counties.
"On the occasion of the third anniversary of the establishment of the Jinling Government, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire of Japan has specially awarded the Imperial Medal to those who have contributed to the friendship between the two countries and made outstanding contributions to the Empire of Japan. Now I would like to invite His Excellency the Emperor's Special Envoy Ii Ken
, read His Majesty the Emperor’s edict!” Taiji Ota said standing in front of the microphone.
The whole process of the awarding ceremony is not complicated. First, Iken read the emperor's edict in public, affirmed the achievements of the person being honored, and pointed out the emperor's commendation, followed by the awarding of awards in public.
Except for Chen Mingxiang, all the family members of the recipients came to the stage to accept the medals on their behalf. They simply said a few words of gratitude. Only Chen Mingxiang went on the stage to accept the medals, and the emperor's special envoy personally hung the medals on him.
The whole hall burst into applause, dozens of cameras flashed with smoke, among a group of people receiving medals, only Chen Mingxiang was gasping for breath, why not take a few more pictures as news?
"Speed up, be careful when moving, don't drop it, these things are very valuable!" Li Zhendong directed his confidants to move the cargo from the ocean-going freighter to another freighter.
This is at Shiliupu Pier. The military police on duty are all drinking and chatting in the room. No one cares about what is happening outside. Their duty is to protect the safety of the terminal and prevent the export of materials to the Shanghai market. Any of Huatong Trading Company’s
The Japanese military police were indifferent to their behavior.
"Be sure to handle it with care, it doesn't matter if you go slowly, don't drop the box!" Zhou Guojun directed another group of people to load things into the truck.
After Chen Mingxiang's ocean freighter arrived at the Port of Mumbai, India, through the coordination of businessmen in the public concession, the local British army not only gave the Japanese army a sufficient amount of medicines in accordance with the agreement, but also gave an extra batch of medicines to Huatong Trading Company. When the ocean freighter arrived in Myanmar,
The medicines were clearly delivered, and the remaining medicines were placed at the bottom of the cargo hold and transported to the Shanghai stock market smoothly.
In addition to sulfonamides and quinine, there are also drugs such as aspirin, petroleum jelly and atropine, which are currently scarce Western medicines and can be called price-quality gold.
Chen Mingxiang divided the batch of drugs into three parts, with 50% distributed to the Military Command Bureau of the mountain city government, 40% to the underground party, and 10% kept for his own use.
The mountain city government is facing the Japanese army's Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle, while the underground party's army and people in the central Hebei area are fighting against the Japanese army's North China Front. Both sides are in great need of medicine. Let's put it this way, don't look at this little thing, it can be saved.
But thousands of lives.
"Bah bang bang!"
Chen Mingxiang, who was sitting in the back seat, reacted quickly. When he heard the sharp impact of the car door, he immediately lowered his head, hid it next to the steel plate of the car door, and took out a Browning pistol from under the seat cushion.
His mind was a little confused at the moment. He was actually shot. Who did this?
The two cars following him to protect him stopped immediately. The bodyguards immediately pulled out their guns, opened the car door, and rushed towards the place where the shots were fired.
Everyone's facial expression is very angry, which is also an emotion from the heart. They are all low-level officers and soldiers of the original mountain city government army. Everyone climbed out from the pile of dead people on the battlefield, and they are not afraid of this at all.
explain.
Since joining Chen Mingxiang, they have been treated as their own brothers. They have good food and drink, and a very considerable monthly salary. They have saved a lot of money in more than two years, and the family's life is very prosperous.
But all this time, they have had no chance to show off. As long as the military commander doesn't take action, who would be so uncomfortable as to assassinate Chen Mingxiang?
Right now, under everyone's noses, Chen Mingxiang, who was protected by them, was shot on the street. This is a shame for everyone and absolutely unacceptable!
This group of people really deserves to be from the military. They stopped the car, got out of the car, and started chasing within seconds of the gunfire. At this speed, the killer would probably not be able to escape their pursuit.
Hey, how come all three bullets hit the car door, not even the glass?
After Chen Mingxiang got out of the car and looked at the scene carefully, he immediately realized that the other party's purpose was not to assassinate him, but to give him some kind of warning!
The person who could do such a thing in Shanghai must be the Shanghai Operation Corps of the Military Command Bureau. I guess I heard that I was awarded the award by the Japanese government and I was very angry. However, I didn’t dare to kill myself because of Boss Dai’s strict order, so I started.
Use a gun to scare you.
Chen Mingxiang was so angry that he almost yelled, "You are a bunch of idiots. This is in Hongkou District, a place where the Japanese are densely populated. You are doing such useless work. If you are caught by the Japanese army, whose responsibility is it?"
"Okay, you all come back. Stop chasing. Notify the nearby Marine Corps and ask them to conduct a large-scale manhunt in Hongkou District. They will dig three feet into the ground to find the person!" Chen Mingxiang said.
Several cars not far away heard the gunshots and hurriedly came over. Seeing this scene, a group of officers suddenly became anxious. Chen Mingxiang had just been awarded the title by the Emperor's special envoy and was assassinated before he left Hongkou District. This
It was simply a slap in the face of the imperial army.
"Shimada-kun, seal off Hongkou District immediately and launch a search as soon as possible. In our territory, these killers cannot escape!" Nakajima Colonel said with a livid face.
At this moment, a truck drove over quickly and parked next to Chen Mingxiang's car. A Marine Corps second lieutenant jumped out of the truck.
"Report, half an hour ago, Soichiro Ueda, the president of the Shanghai branch of the Japan Textile Industry Association, was shot in front of his home. He and the driver died on the spot. We are blocking the road to search for the murderer," the second lieutenant said.
The departure times for attending the reception were different. Chen Mingxiang had a lot of social activities, so he left a little later, while Soichiro Ueda felt a little embarrassed and left earlier. The half-hour difference is normal.
"You bastard, you choose to assassinate the Emperor's special envoy when he is conferring honors. This is a provocation to the Japanese Empire. Search every house, don't miss even a blade of grass, go!" Lieutenant Colonel Shimada felt like he was going to explode.
Chen Mingxiang's face was ugly. He was not angry because of his assassination, but because of the coincidence tonight, the Japanese completely exploded.
Li Qiao and the others don't need to worry. They have forged Marine Corps Headquarters Passes and the operation time is relatively early, so there should be no problem. However, the military commander brothers of the Action Corps may be in trouble this time.ntent
