Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 339
A total of more than [-] countries have set up consulates here in Harbin.

The Czech consulate disappeared in [-], while the Polish and Danish consulates existed in name only.

The French, Dutch, and Belgian consulates in Harbin are in jeopardy.

Two days later, when the French Consulate held a reception, consulates from eighteen or nineteen countries all sent people to attend.

At the reception, there was almost a clear distinction.The consuls of Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and other countries turned a blind eye to Mr. Hermann, the German consul, and refused to shake his hand.

But the consuls of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia walked over cautiously to greet Hermann.

The consuls of the big northern countries stood by and watched with cold eyes and dismissively.

Ostensibly neutral were the consuls of Sweden, Spain and Portugal.

Mr. Genet came down from the second floor gracefully, holding Mrs. Genet's costume on his arm.

He walked around the hall and shook hands with every guest attending the reception.

When he walked in front of the German consul Hermann, Mr. Genet smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Herman stretched out his hand to hold Mr. Genet's with a blank expression.

The entire hall was instantly silent.

"Give my compliments to your Führer," said M. Genet.

"I will, he's been waiting 22 years for this day," Herman replied.

Mr. Genet nodded slightly and led his wife back to the main seat.

Everyone who has attended the reception at the French Consulate knows what Mr. Genet will do next at this time.

Sure enough, Mr. Genet raised his glass and turned to the bronze bust of Napoleon standing behind him and said loudly: "Let us first pay our respects to His Majesty the Emperor, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

What is different from usual is that this time, Mr. Genet shouted Long Live His Majesty the Emperor several times in a row until his face was covered with tears.

The news that the French consul was going to evacuate was quickly learned by the Security Bureau.

The Security Bureau is responsible for anti-espionage and anti-espionage within the territory of Manchukuo, and the consulates of the big northern countries in the consulate are the focus of their surveillance.

The British and American consulates are also in focus.

Although the French consulate is not that important, people will still be sent in to search after the evacuation.

Now that the Security Bureau knows about it, of course Da Shangang in the Security Bureau also knows about it.Now that Da Shangang knew about it, naturally Qian Xiaobao knew about it too.

He stayed in the French Consulate for nearly a year, and that was the happiest time he had in Harbin.

Hearing the news from Da Shangang, Qian Xiaobao rushed to the French consulate on crutches.

There was chaos in the consulate.A few Russian girls walked quickly with their things depressed.

Although Mr. Genet told them that the French consulate had not been revoked, they still looked like disaster was imminent.

It is no wonder that it is so difficult to find a job with a stable salary in Harbin.

Now even going to bars and dance halls may not necessarily make much money.There are fewer and fewer rich people, but more and more poor people.

Several Russian girls felt strange when they saw Qian Xiaobao on crutches, but they were not in the mood to come over to say hello.

Qian Xiaobao went straight to Zhang Lixing.The two of them had the closest relationship while at the French consulate.

Qian Xiaobao walked into Zhang Lixing's office, but unexpectedly saw Zhang Lixing sitting on a chair.

"Others are so busy that they are about to smoke, why don't you have anything to do?" Qian Xiaobao asked in wonder.

"It's all about packing up personal things, so I don't need me at all." Zhang Lixing replied listlessly.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Lixing realized that Qian Xiaobao's leg was already lame.

"What happened to your leg?" Zhang Lixing asked.

"Accidentally fell, it will be fine in a few days." Qian Xiaobao replied very easily.

Zhang Lixing could tell that Qian Xiaobao obviously didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't pursue it.

"Is the museum really going to be withdrawn?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Zhang Lixing shook his head and replied: "I contacted the French government the day before yesterday, and the answer I got was to stay put. But Mr. Genet and the other two secretaries from France don't want to stay here any longer. They plan to go to Shanghai first. Let's see the situation." Zhang Lixing replied.

"So you're the only person in charge here. Then what do you do?" Qian Xiaobao asked again.

"I have a French official passport, and Mr. Genet asked me to stay at the consulate. In another two months, if the French side does not send someone to pick me up, I can leave on my own." Zhang Lixing said.

"Where are you going after leaving here?" Qian Xiaobao asked with concern.

"At that time, I plan to go to Shanghai with my diplomatic passport." Zhang Lixing replied.

"Don't keep talking about diplomatic passports! At that time, it will not be sure whether French passports are good or not! Think about it, are Polish and Czech passports still good? The countries are gone!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Zhang Lixing remained silent.

"At that time, if you still want to leave, you can come to me and I will take you to Shanghai." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Thank you!" Zhang Lixing said sincerely.

After finishing the serious talk, when Qian Xiaobao tilted his head, he saw a furry thing in the corner of the wall.

Looking carefully, Qian Xiaobao realized that the pile of fluffy things were the teddy dogs raised by Mrs. Genet.

The teddy dog ​​was looking at Qian Xiaobao pitifully with its black round bean-like eyes.

"Why is Madame Genet's dog here with you?
"Mrs. Genet said that this dog was really impossible to take away, so she left it to me. But I can only keep it for another two months at most." Zhang Lixing said helplessly.

Seeing that poor teddy dog ​​Qian Xiaobao moved his heart with compassion.

"Why don't you give this dog to me, and I will take good care of it. Even if you tell Madame Genet, she will be at ease." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Okay, I'll tell Madame Genet later, she will be happy." Zhang Lixing said with relief.

"I'll go upstairs to say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Genet, and then I'll come down and carry it home." Qian Xiaobao stood up and said.

In the afternoon, Qian Xiaobao returned home with a crutch in one hand and a Teddy dog ​​in the other.

"Where did you get the strange dog?" Kobayashi asked after opening the door.

In Harbin, dogs like this are very rare.

"I brought it back at the French consulate." Qian Xiaobao replied.

As soon as he let go, Teddy jumped to the ground and got into the room, crouching in the corner and trembling.

The big yellow dog came over and sniffed it, and then lay down next to the teddy dog ​​without saying a word.

The big yellow dog was brought back from Jingjiadian by Qian Xiaobao and Xiao Linxun when they robbed gold, and they have deep feelings.

"Do these two dogs look like the two of us? I am that big yellow dog!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"It's not like!" Kobayashi said angrily.

She turned and went into the kitchen and came back with a plate in her hand.

Kobayashi put the plate in front of the teddy dog, pointed to the sausage inside and said, "Eat it."

At this time, the big yellow dog suddenly raised his head and brought his nose closer.

woof!woof!
Teddy barked his teeth and barked at the big yellow dog.

"It's not like it!" Qian Xiaobao muttered in a low voice.
