Republic of China Tycoon Reborn

Lu Yongxiang was not surprised by his answer. He glanced at Sato: "Mr. Sato, can you give us some time alone?"

"Of course. Of course." Sato nodded quickly and agreed. Then he waved his hand and led Watanabe out of the quiet room. After leaving, Sato's smile immediately turned into a serious one. He and Watanabe faced each other. After taking a look, the two quickly walked into a nearby room. After entering, two staff members wearing headphones quickly stood up to greet him. Sato nodded. Then they took off the headphones and handed them to Sato.

Sato and Watanabe put on their headphones. The conversation in the quiet room where Lu Yongxiang and Sun Chuanyi were was immediately and clearly reached their ears.

Lu Yongxiang slowly took a sip of tea: "General Sun and Governor Duan wrote a personal letter to you. Have you read it?"

"I've seen it." Sun Chuanyi nodded. Then he smiled bitterly: "But before that, when Chen Qimei just died, I had already received Sun Yat-sen's entrustment. Just two days ago, Song Jiaoren and Minister Song The phone call also came to me. Hey, three big figures in the party want me to take sides. You tell me which side I should take."

"What do you think?" Lu Yongxiang stared at Sun Chuanyi closely.

"I..." Sun Chuanyi gave a self-deprecating smile: "I'm like being roasted on a fire. How can I have my own thoughts?" Then he looked helpless: "Actually, I am willing to come to see you alone late at night. .has made my position clear.”

Lu Yongxiang nodded: "Okay. In this case, don't waver anymore. I can promise you on behalf of Duan Zongzhi. After the matter is completed, you will become the official commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Army. Not only that, Jiangsu's Zhang Zongchang is a complete Big idiot. This is the position of commander-in-chief of the Soviet army. Hehehehehe..."

"Don't rush to promise me empty benefits." Sun Chuanyi waved his hand: "Actually, I also know that Sun Yat-sen has already passed away. Song Jiaoren is too weak. Duan is the biggest among the three parties. But as soon as I entered the door, I I have said that the Shanghai Army is not completely under my control now. To be honest, several important figures in the Shanghai Army have some unexplainable relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, a good disciple of Sun Yat-sen. Once I change my political stance, I am afraid that they will not One of them will jump out and rebel against me."

"Is it that exaggerated? You have been the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Army for such a long time. Can't you still..."

"You underestimate Chen Qimei too much. He has been running the Shanghai Army for many years. Die-hard loyalists have already spread all over the key posts. If not, how could Sun Yat-sen let me take charge of the Shanghai Army so rashly." Sun Chuanyi's face was full of helplessness.

Lu Yongxiang pondered for a long time. Then he took out a small black ball the size of an egg from his pocket. The ball was oval in shape. There was a button-sized protrusion on the small end.

"What is this?" Sun Chuanyi was a little curious. This thing didn't look like a bomb. But it was impossible for Lu Yongxiang to carry a toy with him.

Lu Yongxiang smiled slightly and pressed down the button-sized protrusion with his thumb. Then he casually put the thing into his arms: "There are some things I can only say to you. The Japanese are a double-edged sword against the enemy. It’s easy to use, but it’s also easy to cut yourself.”

Just when he pressed the protrusion, Sato and Watanabe, who were monitoring next door, changed their expressions because a sharp noise suddenly sounded from their earphones. They could no longer hear a single trace of the conversation between Lu Yongxiang and Sun Chuanyi.

"High-frequency wave interference." Sato looked gloomy and threw the headphones on the table. Watanabe asked carefully: "It seems that they are very vigilant. There are several hidden peepholes on the wall between the two rooms. How to do it? Don’t open it.”

In the quiet room, Sun Chuanyi shook his head: "To be honest, the Japanese cannot give us much help in this matter. There are many great powers on the beach, and they don't dare to do anything too reckless."

Lu Yongxiang nodded: "I agree with what you said. To make a long story short, I didn't come here this time to make you cause trouble. That's right. According to my original plan, I wanted you to lead the Shanghai army to surrender to Duan in power. But Now it seems that it is very unrealistic in a short time. And we really don’t have time to take it slow.”

His words made Sun Chuanyi breathe a sigh of relief. The stone that had been weighing on his heart for so many days was finally lifted. But he was a little confused: "In this case, what use can I have?"

"Shanghai is going to be in chaos." Lu Yongxiang took a deep breath. His words were like a bomb that hit Sun Chuanyi's heart: "My son came to Shanghai this time and secretly brought fifty soldiers. These soldiers are all All of the people I brought out are good players. These people will cooperate with the Red Gang in Shanghai to create countless chaos and disasters here. The next step is up to you."

"How is this possible?" Sun Chuanyi became anxious: "If that's true, the central government will immediately realize that something is wrong. Ask me for a crime of poor stability maintenance. Then they will send important personnel. Maybe they will take over the Shanghai Army directly..."

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the central government." Lu Yongxiang asked sharply: "If the central government cannot be controlled, I will disturb Shanghai, Nanjing and Shanghai. How far is it?"

Sun Chuanyi was confused. Lu Yongxiang sighed and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry. This time our central government and the local governments will act together. The biggest incident since the founding of the Republic of China is about to happen in Shanghai. The central government will be overwhelmed. It's basically I don’t care about your business."

Sun Chuanyi took a deep breath: "You tell me what you want me to do."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Yongxiang's eyes: "I want you to use thunderous momentum to control all the armed forces in Shanghai except the Shanghai Army. Then cooperate with me in my actions. Let me firmly seize the initiative in Shanghai."

"The rest of the armed forces." Sun Chuanyi said uncertainly: "You mean the Qinghong Gang."

"I'm referring to Du Yuesheng." Lu Yongxiang snorted coldly: "The Red Gang and I are of the same mind. As for the Green Gang, as long as Du Yuesheng is surrendered by us, then Huang Jinrong will definitely surrender."

In the room next door, Sato and Watanabe watched everything inside through a small peephole in the wall. Unfortunately, they could only see Lu Yongxiang's mouth opening and closing. Sun Chuanyi's face changed again and again. As for what they said What was said? The two of them barely heard it clearly.

Sato took his eyes away from the peephole, because there was no need to look any further. He was in an extremely bad mood: "Who. Who decided to give them this quiet room with such good sound insulation."

"This was proposed by Lu Yongxiang and then you personally agreed." Watanabe answered bravely.

It was past twelve o'clock at night. Sun Chuanyi put on his black cloak and black top hat again. He disappeared like a ghost at the back door of the Japanese Consulate. Not long after he left, Lu Yongxiang, who had put on make-up, arrived in the Japanese Consulate's special car. He was escorted all the way back to Zhejiang. As he said, Zhejiang is his base camp. He never felt safe in Shanghai.

A conspiracy was brewing. Du Yuesheng, who was unaware of it, was still socializing with Lu Xiaojia and Zhang Xueliang. According to his guess, even if Lu Xiaojia came to Shanghai for a purpose this time, he would never be so impatient. He would definitely feel the situation first and then wait for an opportunity to act. But he forgot that the biggest party in this matter was not Lu Xiaojia or Lu Yongxiang. The two of them also obeyed Duan Qirui from the central government. They had to do whatever Duan Qirui wanted them to do.

On the first day that Lu Xiaojia and Zhang Xueliang came to Shanghai, they played until one o'clock in the morning. Du Yuesheng drove them back to the hotel. When they walked to the Haiqiao Hotel, he felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Where were the people who were spying on them? Although these people are hidden, they are Du Yuesheng's people after all. Du Yuesheng is near them. Naturally, there are special ways to find them. But now it seems that there is no one following him.

Lu and Zhang returned to the room. Du Yuesheng said goodbye to them. After saying goodbye, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he retreated into the car. He was waiting for Qingda to come to him and tell him what happened here. matter.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, an anxious Qingda came to Du Yuesheng's car. When Du Yuesheng saw his face, his heart skipped a beat. Qingda gasped for breath and wanted to report. Du Yuesheng opened the car door: "Get in the car."

Song Sanxi drove Du Yuesheng and Qingda away from the Overseas Chinese Hotel. On the way, Qingda told the strange things that happened that night. At the end, he took a breath: "Sir, what should we do? Should we call the brothers directly?" Capture one or two plainclothesmen and then we torture them..."

Song Sanxi shook his head: "It can't be helped. They are regular troops. No matter who is asked to do it, there is a possibility of failure. If it happens, and the person named Lu finally finds out that it was our people who did it, then what will happen to both of us? I’m not going to fall out immediately. It’s not that time yet.”

Du Yuesheng nodded. He thought about it and then told Qingda: "Tell the brothers to keep an eye on it. If the situation is really unpredictable, you have no choice but to capture one or two. When you do it, you must make a false impression and don't get involved. Come to us."

Qingda nodded. Then he got off the car and went to do it immediately. Du Yuesheng looked at Qingda's retreating back and told Song Sanxi: "I always feel very uneasy tonight. The last time I felt like this, I helped the old man. What happened when transporting porcelain. This time may be very dangerous. No. We have to go back to the Haiqiao Hotel. I have to knock on Lu Xiaojia's door and guard him all night. Otherwise, I can't rest assured."

Song Sanxi nodded and drove back to the Overseas Chinese Hotel.

On the fourth floor of the Overseas Chinese Hotel, Zhang Xueliang returned to his room. It was almost two o'clock in the morning. Although he was full of energy, he was still a little overwhelmed. After he was tired, he washed up, turned off the light and went to bed, ready to have a good sleep. Sleep and nourish the spirit.

The moment he turned off the light, a black shadow flashed quickly outside the window. It was an illusion, not an illusion. Zhang Xueliang, who had been in the military for many years, never believed that he would have ridiculous hallucinations. He immediately grabbed the pistol he was wearing. . He gently climbed out of the window and chased after him.
