Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 236

This wise saying by the old man Shawish comes from the Talmud.

Qian Xiaobao couldn't help thinking of Schultz who had been away for several months.

According to his observation, Schultz is a person who can drink and likes to drink very much.But Qian Xiaobao usually sees Schultz as a teetotaler.

As an intelligence officer, Schultz has extremely high self-discipline.

Qian Xiaobao felt that he should pay attention to this in the future.But judging from his image in the eyes of others, it is a bit strange not to drink.

When Qi Erye was eating, he kept complaining that there were too few people and it was not lively at all.Sitting next to him was a two-year-old Zhaodi.

At this time, although the dishes on most people's tables are very shabby, the sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren can't sit on the same table.

Isn't the New Year's Eve just full of children and grandchildren, isn't it just lively?
The New Year's Eve dinner ended hastily in less than an hour.

Qian Xiaobao took a small whip with a hundred rings and went outside to wait for the cannon to be fired in the early morning.

"Why is it so short? Are there many with a thousand rings?" Xiao Linxun asked puzzled.

"One hundred is enough. Too many and I'm too upset!" Qian Xiaobao replied.

Xiao Linxun was even more puzzled, she looked at Qian Xiaobao in surprise.

"I don't need any more when I'm 80, one hundred great-grandchildren are enough!" Qian Xiaobao said, shaking the little whip in his hand as if making a wish.

Xiao Linxun blushed in the dark and said, "If this is the case, you will have to marry several wives!"

"One is enough! I've already calculated that I will have five sons and 25 grandchildren. Is it not too much to have a hundred great-grandchildren by the age of 80?" Qian Xiaobao muttered.

He looked at his watch and felt that it was almost time.Putting the firecrackers flat on the ground, Qian Xiaobao struck a match and lit them.

The firecrackers crackled.But after a dozen beeps, it became silent.

Qian Xiaobao squatted on the ground and waited for a long time without any response.He walked over to pick up the firecrackers and found that they had gone out.

Qian Xiaobao was so frustrated that he didn't even have the mood to order again.

"It doesn't count this time, let's do it again." Xiao Linxun said.She walked back to the house, and when she came out again, she came out holding something in the shape of a large cutting board.

It was a thousand-ringed marlezi.

Xiao Linxun unfolded the firecrackers carefully, and placed them in the yard twice before finishing.

She asked Qian Xiaobao to light the fire, but Qian Xiaobao reached out and handed her the match in his hand.

Xiao Linxun took the match and rubbed it close to the firecrackers to light them.Hearing the chi chi sound, he hurriedly jumped aside.

There was a bang bang bang bang.A line of fire wandered in the yard.

Qian Xiaobao just squatted on the ground and watched, even if the pieces of paper fell on his face, he didn't care.

A thousand firecrackers were finally set off, and there was not a single dumb one.

"A thousand, a thousand rings!" Xiao Linxun said happily.

Qian Xiaobao stood up abruptly and shouted at Xiao Linxun: "My great-grandsons are only a dozen, and your great-grandsons have a thousand. Tell me why!"

After saying this, Qian Xiaobao turned around and slammed the door and left.

On the day of the fourth day of junior high school, Qian Xiaobao finally received a notice from the Ministry of Intelligence to immediately go to the Ministry of Intelligence to get clothing and equipment and has an important task to perform.

Although Qian Xiaobao didn't wear the original military uniform much, he still received a brand new one this time.Both the leather boots and combat cap were replaced with new ones.

This time, only two people went to Shanghai secretly with Dazuo Yamaoka.When we got there, people from the Central China Expeditionary Army were in charge of security protection.

In addition to Qian Xiaobao, the other person who followed Yamaoka Michimu was Second Lieutenant Ogasawara who had been to Zhang Gufeng like Qian Xiaobao.

Lieutenant Ogasawara is recognized as a talented and capable person in the intelligence department.The disadvantage is that he is arrogant and likes to say strange things.

That night, the three of them took the train to the south, and after arriving in Lushun, they took the Awa Maru, which had already been prepared, to Shanghai.

Serving tea and pouring water along the way was all undertaken by Qian Xiaobao.And Ogasawara was not willing to intervene at all.

So Michitake Yamaoka was very satisfied with Qian Xiaobao who served him very thoughtfully.

Two days later, the Awa Maru arrived at the Huangpu Port Wharf.

Walking to the bow of the boat and looking ashore, Michitake Yamaoka saw not only the brightly lit Bund but also the crowds of people on the pier.

Apparently these people had all come to meet him on the pier.

Yamaoka Michitake's face immediately darkened.

This time, he planned to hold secret talks with people from the Japanese secret service in Shanghai and then rush to Nanjing to meet the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Yamada Otozo.

Just quietly send a car over.Why did you organize hundreds of people to welcome them on the pier?
It seems that the secret service in Shanghai didn't want to hide this action for him at all.

Takeo Imai, who was sent by the Japanese General Staff Headquarters to China to carry out a secret mission, stood at the front and looked at the Awamaru.

Standing behind him were mainly officials of the Shanghai Reform Government organized by him, headed by Foreign Minister Chen Lu.

The Restoration Government was a puppet government established after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, covering the cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Ninghu.

Chen Lu is a 60-year-old man.An old politician who has been famous since the Beiyang period.Unexpectedly, at the age of 60, he still couldn't bear the loneliness and ran out to be a traitor.

Today he represented the Restoration Government to welcome the Japanese guests from Manchukuo.

The Awa Maru docked.

Michitake Yamaoka walked down the gangway with a gloomy expression.He and Takeo Imai exchanged military salutes.Then Takeo Imai introduced the officials of the Restoration Government who came to greet him one by one to Michitake Yamaoka.

Michitake Yamaoka shook hands with the crowd headed by Chen Lu.

A black car stopped beside Yamaoka Dotake.

Takeo Imai said to Michitake Yamaoka: "I have arranged a welcome banquet tonight. Officers from the Central China Expeditionary Army in Shanghai and officials from the Restoration Government will all be present. Your Excellency must honor you!"

"No need! We were too tired along the way. We'd better send us to the arranged hotel. I can rest after talking with Section Chief Imamu." After speaking, Yamaoka Michitake opened the door and got into the car.

Qian Xiaobao quickly opened the car door and sat on the co-pilot's seat.

Takeo Imai had no choice but to get in the car.The car headed towards the Licha Hotel on the bank of the Huangpu River.

Officials of the reform government were all thrown on the dock.

Second Lieutenant Ogasawara and the people who followed Takeo Imai followed in other cars.

Michitake Yamaoka and Takeo Imai talked secretly for two hours in the room of the Recha Hotel before Takeo Imai left the hotel.

When the three of them were eating in the restaurant of the hotel, Yamaoka Dotake suddenly raised his head and listened carefully, asking, "What's the sound outside? Is it gunshots?"

Ogasawara shook his head and said, "How is it possible? Something must be broken?"

"It's gunfire! But it's at least one or two kilometers away from here!" Qian Xiaobao said with certainty.
