This is a location carefully arranged by Huang Hanhui, with safety as the top priority.
He placed some eyeliners nearby, while he sat in the teahouse opposite and observed the surrounding situation.
Fu Xuelan was sitting at the window downstairs of the Shikumen house, paying attention to the teahouse opposite. If Huang Hanhui sent a signal to her, she would have to arrange for the leading comrades upstairs to evacuate as soon as possible.
This meeting lasted for a whole day. One of the key points of the meeting was to establish the new Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, with Comrade Liu Richen as the new provincial party secretary, and to convey the instructions of the central government. The other key point was to study the anti-Japanese war work under the new situation.
Another thing was also mentioned at this meeting: Shanghai's labor unions, students' federations and other social groups have mobilized the general public to raise funds in recent days, hoping to use them to support the national army in the war of resistance.
Therefore, after Liu Richen came back at night, he asked Fu Xuelan to invite Mr. Du.
Mr. Du came down from upstairs and observed Liu Richen calmly.
He saw that Liu Richen had something to say, so he extended his hand to invite him into the small living room to talk.
Fu Xuelan thought that she could be regarded as half the master of Du Mansion, so she made a cup of tea for each of them.
Mr. Du picked up the teacup and greeted Fu Xuelan, then turned back and looked at Liu Richen deeply.
Liu Richen smiled and said: "Doctor Fu and the others are still arranging a place for me. Therefore, I may have to bother you for a few more days. Please forgive me."
Mr. Du said: "Mr. Liu is joking. It is my honor that Mr. Liu is willing to stay here for a few days. Please feel free to stay here. In addition, safety is no problem."
Liu Richen said: "I invited you here because I have something to discuss with Mr. Du. I heard Section Chief Gui say that there may be some gaps in the national army's pay, and I hope it can be filled before the war begins. I got it today.
According to news, students and citizens in Shanghai have been actively donating money to support the National Army in the war of resistance. I heard that more than 38,000 yuan has been raised. This amount may be a little short of the gap for the National Army. I think, first,
Can I ask you to donate some money? Secondly, can you please come forward and transfer this money to the National Army. The small problem here is that it may not be convenient for us to transfer the money directly to the National Army. The reason is certain.
I know that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have not formally cooperated yet. How do you express your opinion?"
Mr. Du was a little surprised at first when he heard Liu Richen talking about this matter.
The gap in military pay for the national army is 40,000 yuan, which is quite a large amount and is generally difficult to make up.
It was for this reason that he didn't dare to intervene at the time.
But the CCP organization behind Mr. Liu has raised so much money in just a few days, which shows how powerful it is!
Secondly, I feel the subtlety of this matter.
Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been negotiating, they have not yet reached an agreement. In theory, they are still opponents.
Therefore, here is a question of whether and how the national military will take over. If it is not handled well, a good thing may turn into a bad thing, and that would be too bad.
Finally, what Mr. Liu means is that he hopes to come forward and make contact in the middle, with the purpose of getting this matter done. This is what he hopes for most. Of course, it is also a very honorable thing. Therefore, in the money
He is very willing to fill the gap. This is a matter that is beneficial to both public and private interests.
In addition to these three points, he also hoped that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could cooperate again and fight against Japan together! Only then would the country have hope!
So, he smiled and said: "What Mr. Liu said is exactly what I hope most. Du is very willing to do this. First of all, I will definitely make up for the missing parts. In addition, if I want to do this,
, in fact, Dr. Fu can do it. She can ask Gui Longhai to continue to be the middleman for this matter. As for me, I am content with such a name. I hope you two can get in touch. I feel that this may be better.
."
Liu Richen immediately understood what Mr. Du meant. The biggest thing at hand is for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to cooperate as soon as possible. If this matter helps the cooperation between the two parties, it is of course the best thing.
So, he looked back at Fu Xuelan and asked her: "How?"
Fu Xuelan smiled and said: "It should be no problem. I can call Gui Longhai now and let him make preparations."
Mr. Du smiled and said: "There is a telephone in the big living room outside."
In this way, Fu Xuelan went outside to make a call. The call went through as soon as she dialed it.
Because the Shanghai market has been very chaotic recently, and Nanshi is also unsettled.
Gui Longhai works in the branch office until very late every day.
23-25
Gui Longhai was about to go home when he suddenly received a call from Dr. Fu. Naturally, he was very happy.
Dr. Fu spoke very gently on the phone, "Long Hai, would you like to meet me tonight?"
Gui Longhai smiled happily and made an appointment with her to meet at Li Xiulan's house tonight.
After Fu Xuelan put down the phone, a ray of mist floated in her heart, warm and lingering, as if she was looking forward to seeing Gui Longhai. She couldn't help but think, should I be tougher on that guy, but don't let him see through it?
Worried.
She entered the small living room, said goodbye to Liu Richen and Mr. Du, and left quietly.
She left Du Mansion, called a rickshaw, and hurried to Li Xiulan's house.
When she arrived at Li Xiulan's house, Gui Longhai had just arrived and was talking to Lin Jiatai and Li Xiulan. When he saw Dr. Fu coming in, he went to the outhouse with Lin Jiatai with a smile on his face.
Li Xiulan was so smart. She had already noticed that they were going to say something important in a mysterious way, so she curled her lips and said, "Allah knows that you want to avoid me! Sue Section Chief Nong Gui. Allah is also very tight-lipped and knows it."
Seriously!"
Lin Jiatai heard the meaning of her words and smiled and grabbed her hand.
He whispered to her: "I believe you. Be good and be obedient."
Li Xiulan's big eyes flickered as she looked at Lin Jiatai, her mouth pouted cutely, and she felt quite happy.
Fu Xuelan chose to meet Gui Longhai at Li Xiulan's house because she was first concerned about Lin Jiatai's mission today.
She looked at Lin Jiatai and asked, "How was your morning?"
Lin Jiatai twisted his mouth and said a little viciously: "I didn't expect that those Japanese were really thieves! As you said, they got off the car on Baoshan Road! I then tracked that Chen Zifeng into the alley.
, he is also a thief! I met him there! I recognized him! He also recognized me! Later, I pointed out to him where the Japanese might be hiding. However, the Japanese Marine Corps somehow got the information.
, picked up that old beggar!"
Fu Xuelan understood that Chen Zifeng's kidnapping operation was unsuccessful. This meant that it was still impossible to know what the core purpose of the "Demon Sword Project" was! Although she was very worried, she had no choice but to let it go.
She said: "Jiatai, Lao Liu is still living in Du Mansion recently. So, you still have to trouble Xiulan and live with her."
Unexpectedly, before Lin Jiatai could speak, Li Xiulan started shouting in the back room, "Ala, don't bother me! It's not easy for Ala to be injured. Someone should take care of you!"
When Fu Xuelan and Gui Longhai heard this, they couldn't help laughing and turned back to look at Lin Jiatai.
Lin Jiatai blushed when they looked at him, raised his head quickly and said, "Don't talk, it's none of your business."
Li Xiulan muttered in the back room: "You've already talked about me, and you're talking about Mo Wu. How unreasonable!"
Lin Jiatai was even more embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Ignore her. Doctor Fu, go on."
At this time, Fu Xuelan grabbed Gui Longhai's hand as naturally as possible, shook it hard, and said: "Long Hai, the military pay issue you mentioned before is now settled."
Gui Longhai was taken aback and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Fu Xuelan said with a smile: "According to Lao Liu's arrangement, we launched a fund-raising campaign across the city. Students, staff, and workers all took to the streets. Now, we basically have it all together. There is still a little bit missing, and Mr. Du is very willing to make up for it. According to
Mr. Du and Lao Liu want you and Mr. Du to come forward and transfer this money to the national army. It is not convenient for me and Lao Liu to come forward on this matter. It is best for you and Mr. Du to come forward. You understand what I mean.
Bar?"
Gui Longhai opened his mouth wide, looked at Fu Xuelan, and shouted: "Let me just say, I saw someone collecting donations on the street, and I guessed that only you can organize it. Wow! This is what worries me the most! Oh,
This is good, this is great."
He added: "Then I'll call Staff Officer Liang now. Maybe he's not asleep yet, okay?"
Fu Xuelan smiled and nodded to him, "Of course. The sooner this matter is done, the better!"
So, Gui Longhai accompanied Dr. Fu out. He found a public phone on the road, called Staff Officer Liang, and made an appointment with him to meet at Du Mansion tomorrow morning.
Staff Officer Liang shouted repeatedly on the phone: "Chief Gui, I thank you on behalf of my brothers! Thank you!"
Gui Longhai felt indescribably happy and kept saying, "Don't thank me, I didn't donate it."
Staff Officer Liang paused on the phone and immediately said: "I understand, I understand! Okay, see you tomorrow morning!"
23-26
On the night of August 10, 1937, it was past twelve o'clock, and the lights were still brightly lit in the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters on Dongjiangwan Road.
In the office of Commander Okawachiden Seven, a huge map of Shanghai hangs on the wall.
Commander Okawa, Takuto Sato, and several staff officers repeatedly studied the map on the wall. They carefully calculated the strength of the Marine Corps, as well as the existing reserves of light and heavy weapons and ammunition.
Sato Takuto drank some wine, but it did not eliminate the pain all over his body. However, he was still in good spirits and strong, and provided reference for Commander Okawa in arranging troops and formations.
Commander Okawa stared at the map for a moment and said: "The Bazi Bridge should be the key point!"
A staff officer took a small red flag and placed it on the splayed bridge.
Commander Okawa continued: "The Third Battalion of the Marine Corps is equipped with 4 mortars, 2 infantry guns, 1 tank, 1 armored vehicle each, and 3 heavy machine gun vehicles to defend the line from the Bazi Bridge to Tiantongan. Mr. Sato,
