Liu Qing and others came back so late, which made Li Yunsheng very worried and didn't know what happened.
"District Chief, it's nothing. I just ran into a little trouble on the way back."
Liu Qing quickly answered Li Yunsheng's question without any hesitation. After all, it was not her problem that she came back late.
"What trouble did you encounter?"
Li Yunsheng's expression was a bit nervous, not because he was worried about anything else, but because he was afraid that Liu Qing and others would cause trouble in the future.
After all, the situation is completely different. Today's Tianjin has been completely occupied by the Japanese. If there is any tail left behind in the operation, there will be huge consequences.
"On the way back, we encountered many checkpoints. It can be said that it was difficult to move forward. We were delayed for so long because of the inspections."
Liu Qing immediately told the reason, paused, and then said: "And on the way back, I found that the Japanese army was arresting white people on a large scale, as if they were looking for Robert!"
"So that's it."
Li Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, because when he came back, he encountered many checkpoints, so his return speed was much slower.
Liu Qing and others only drove back after Li Yunsheng left the concession. They still had to deposit their money, which naturally required more time.
In this case, it is no wonder that we will encounter more checkpoints, but it is not a big deal.
"District Chief, it looks like the Japanese are determined to find Robert. We have to be on guard."
Liu Qing reminded Li Yunsheng that she felt something was wrong because of the Japanese actions.
"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal!"
Li Yunsheng responded nonchalantly, showing confidence.
After all, Robert's hiding place is very secret, and it is apparently the property of the Japanese. No matter how hard the Japanese search, they will not suspect it.
"District Chief, the Japanese behaved very strangely and sent out so many people. There must be some important reason."
Liu Qing reminded Li Yunsheng again, with a serious look on her face, because she felt that this matter was really weird.
After all, Robert was just a concession consul. Even if he had some status, he was not worthy of the Japanese army's search.
"The Japanese just want to find our whereabouts by looking for Robert. There is no other conspiracy."
Li Yunsheng laughed twice, and then spoke disdainfully, because he immediately noticed this little thought of the Japanese.
After all, Robert had no value, and the Japanese were looking for him like this, so it must be that the drunkard was not interested in drinking, and the military commander was with Robert, so their purpose was obvious.
As for the Japanese being able to guess that it was the military commander who rescued Robert, this was normal and did not surprise Li Yunsheng.
Because in the Tianjin area, only the military commander had the power to do this, the Japanese actions were within Li Yunsheng's expectation.
"I see."
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Liu Qing felt a sudden realization. After all, the reason behind this was very simple and easy to understand.
But Liu Qing was still a little worried. After all, the appearance of white people such as Robert was too conspicuous and could easily be found by the Japanese, so he said: "District Chief, we have to be careful, the appearance of white people is too conspicuous, okay?"
It's said to be a bright target."
"Haha, it's okay. As long as they don't show up, there won't be any problems."
Li Yunsheng had already made arrangements, so he was not worried at all. After all, the Japanese could not conduct inspections for a long time. As long as Robert and others were left in Tianjin for a month or two to exhaust the Japanese's patience, there would be no problems.
.
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Liu Qing finally felt relieved, and then asked cautiously: "District Chief, are those British people just listening to our arrangements so honestly?"
Liu Qing grew up in Tianjin and had contact with many white people. Naturally, she knew the British character very well, so she asked like this.
Because in Liu Qing's eyes, white people are very proud and will do something even if they are in trouble.
"A down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken. These white people just have to be honest and forget it. If they are not honest, I have many ways to deal with them."
It is not difficult to deal with white people. As long as they suffer some hidden losses, they will naturally become honest. That's why Li Yunsheng dared to say this.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Li Yunsheng asked Liu Qing to leave and began to think about the current situation.
Three days passed quickly, and the situation had stabilized. Even in the concession, there was no disturbance.
After all, the concession was only a small area, and there were not many people in it. Under the oppression of the Japanese army, they quickly became obedient citizens.
The concession was occupied by the Japanese. To ordinary people, it was not a big deal, but some wealthy families were exploited by the Japanese.
These wealthy families have been living a life of luxury and entertainment. Although they have not taken refuge with the Japanese, they have no patriotic feelings. They are just rice bugs who do not have time to produce.
After the Japanese occupied the concession, these people were the first to be exploited. After all, the Japanese government was also short of money.
There were not many strong-willed people in these wealthy families. After being exploited by the Japanese, their lives suddenly became miserable, which made some people who hated the rich watch the fun.
Although Tianjin has stabilized, the world situation has undergone considerable changes. First, Britain and the United States declared war on Japan, and then the Nationalist Government declared war on Japan, ending the situation between China and Japan that had not declared war for more than ten years.
This time the National Government acted very quickly, which made Li Yunsheng feel a little emotional. He secretly thought that it was probably the participation of the United States in the war that gave Principal Chang the confidence, otherwise he would not have dared to declare war on Japan.
The current situation is indeed a good thing for China, but it is not a good thing for the United Kingdom.
Just like in history, the Japanese army was victorious, even faster than the progress in history. After all, Li Yunsheng provided them with some intelligence.
After two days of war, the British were retreating steadily and lost many colonies, which was even worse than China before the Anti-Japanese War.
In the following period, things went just as Li Yunsheng imagined. The Japanese army was victorious and soon entered a state of insufficient strength.
Because the Japanese did not expect that the British would be so vulnerable, a few days passed and their front was stretched very long, leaving many places undefended.
Nanyang is a wealthy place, and various resources are still lacking by the Japanese government. Naturally, the Japanese government will not give up these territories and begins to mobilize troops from various places.
Due to the shortage of troops, the Japanese government secretly informed senior military officers that veterans would be temporarily suspended from discharge and domestic recruits would be recruited in advance. Even soldiers who had been discharged for a short period of time would have to re-enlist.
Because he had been in contact with the officers of the Panasonic Regiment, Kitano Xiongji got the news as soon as possible and passed the news to Li Yunsheng.
Li Yunsheng was very happy when he saw the news from Beiye Xiong Er, and thought to himself that the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.
