Roaming in the world of film and television

"What did you say?"

Baden was furious. When did a Chinese dare to speak to him in such a tone? Not to mention the mayor of Shanghai, even if Generalissimo Jiang came, we should give him two points.

"I said you're a coward." Lin Yue sneered and said, "There's something about throwing me out."

Baden was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "Don't forget, if it wasn't for fear of us, the Sixing Warehouse would have been taken by the Japanese long ago. You have no right to say that."

Lin Yue said, "But they don't fear you now."

"The Japanese said that what happened in the morning was a tactical error. The pilot of the fighter plane did not act in accordance with the requirements of the headquarters. He threw himself into the sea to avoid punishment."

"Just believe what the Japanese say. In September 18th, the Japanese also said that the Northeast Army had blown up their Nanman Railway. During the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, they also said that a soldier disappeared in Wanping. Your ambassador They were blown up and said that they missed the target because of the bad weather. You British, in order to convince yourself not to confront the Japanese army head-on, you even learned the method of spiritual victory. Oh, Mr. Baden may not understand what is spirit If you have time, you might as well read Mr. Lu Xun's short story "The True Story of Ah Q", I believe you will find yourself in the book."

Baden didn't know what the "spiritual victory method" was, but he could feel the sarcasm inside and outside the words.

"Don't be arrogant. The 524th regiment will soon receive an order to retreat from the headquarters. At that time, you have to lower the flag if you don't want to."

Lin Yue smiled: "Whose order? Lao Jiang?"

Barden said, "Of course."

"Heh, who said that the army must obey the orders given by the superiors? There is an old saying in China that 'the generals in foreign countries will not accept orders', not to mention..."

He winked at Fang Xingwen: "Show Mr. Ambassador what you took."

Fang Xingwen shivered, and suddenly came to his senses. When he looked at Lin Yue again, the fear in his eyes turned into fear.

It seems that this guy had predicted the reaction of the British early on.

The Japanese fighter planes destroyed the British airship and slaughtered the soldiers guarding the bridge. It was within his expectation that the Chamberlain government would continue to appease the surging public opinion pressure in the country. Baden contacted the national army, and it was also his expectation that the 524th regiment should withdraw from the Sixing Warehouse in order to change the tense situation.

"What are you still doing? Hurry up."

"oh."

Fang Xingwen threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, and showed Baden the picture he just took.

"The current 524th regiment is no longer Xie Jinyuan's 524th regiment. Do you think Lao Jiang's order is binding on me?" Lin Yuewang said to Baden, whose face changed drastically: "Don't think that you can solve all the problems by controlling me. If I didn't go back before dawn, they would take the initiative to attract the Japanese army to attack. At that time, "in case" a certain shell fell into the gas tank in the concession, it would not be a few foreigners who died at that time, but thousands of people in the concession. How many Americans, French, and British will die? Faced with this level of casualties, can that idiot Chamberlain continue to appease? I think the citizens of London will poke his ass out."

"Do you know how many Chinese people are in the concession?"

"Xie Jinyuan will care about their lives, but I won't. Sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives and force the Western world to make enemies with Japan. I think this deal is very cost-effective, after all, our lives are cheap."

"Crazy, you're a crazy."

"Yes, you're right, I'm a lunatic. To deal with 'gentlemen' like you, you have to be a little lunatic, otherwise I might be betrayed someday."

Baden stood up and walked back and forth in the hall, his hands clenched tightly, the veins visible to the naked eye bouncing on his temples.

As if Lin Yue didn't see the face that affected his appetite, he picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a big sip.

In the movie, the British put pressure on Lao Jiang with the proposal of "humanely ending the war". Chiang agreed, and the condition he gave was that the British guaranteed that the soldiers of the 524th regiment would evacuate through the concession and join the 88th division on the western front. What happened? In order to please the Japanese, the British turned their faces and sold the 524 regiment.

Here I pretended to be a Japanese pilot and shot down a British airship, making a really big news. If Chamberlain wanted to continue to appease the Japanese, he would have to make this matter a minor one. How can this effect be achieved? The best way is to distract the attention of the public and reduce the heat of the incident. People are always forgetful, and sometimes their memory is not much better than fish. As long as there are no more battles in the Sixing Warehouse and no explosive news, the future will be fine. Easy to handle.

Therefore, Baden is the person who is most eager to see the 524 regiment retreat to the British Concession in a smooth and orderly manner.

In fact, the Japanese are also in a hurry. Before they can gain a firm foothold in the East China region, they are unwilling to tear themselves apart from the Western powers, and on the other hand, they are eager to get the Sixing Warehouse, so that they can boost morale and publicize victory in the country. It can also dampen the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for the war of resistance.

So the British and the Japanese were in a hurry, they were in a hurry, Lin Yue was naturally not in a hurry, and he would not let the 524 regiment in the eye of the storm be in a hurry.

"Don't forget that you have to enlist our support at the Brussels meeting."

"It's a joke. Now that the airship is destroyed by Japanese fighter planes, you have to be a coward. If you choose to calm down, that old dog Chamberlain will agree to our request?"

"I want to drive out all the Shanghai citizens in the concession." Baden hesitated for a while, then yelled at Lin Yue.

"Okay, tomorrow I will plant a blue sky and white sun flag on the roof of the Sixing Warehouse, and then kill a few Japanese prisoners. Every day from now on, I will create some hot news for those reporters, so that the world's attention will focus on the Sixing Warehouse." Lin Lin Yue sneered and said, "Do you think Zhuer, who would rather sacrifice tens of millions of lives in order to force Western countries to declare war on Japan, would be afraid of such a threat?"

Baden took several deep breaths and walked up to Lin Yue: "What exactly do you want us to do before we are willing to evacuate the Sixing Warehouse?"

Lin Yue smiled and said: "It is not impossible to let the 524 regiment withdraw. Japan and Britain must issue a joint statement, announcing to the outside world that they are requesting the national army to abandon the Sixing Warehouse out of humanitarian considerations, and at the same time guarantee the personal safety of the evacuated soldiers until they and the 88 The main force of the division is converging."

Baden sat back on the sofa with a sullen face. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Japanese army threatened to annihilate China in three months. Now it seems that this goal cannot be achieved. Now Lin Yue asked Japan and Britain to issue a joint statement. Although the retreat of the Japanese army was not intended to satirize the Japanese army, it was not an easy task to get the other party's consent. After all, such things as the joint statement are related to the international image, and once it is made, there is no room for change.

Lin Yue said: "Is this request difficult? It is not difficult. You must know that the Japanese army owes you more than a dozen lives in the UK. If you refuse to make such a concession, then the grassroots soldiers will kill people from Western countries in the future. There will be no worries."

After saying this, without waiting for Baden to answer, he got up and walked outside: "You have one night to contact the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army. If you don't get an answer tomorrow morning, I will raise the second floor on the roof of the mainland bank warehouse. Two flags."

When approaching the door, he paused for a moment: "Du Yuesheng has a phone number to reach the other side."

He left, but Baden didn't go to see him off, because he really wasn't in the mood to do so.

Coming out of the ambassador's mansion, Fang Xingwen went to open the door of the car.

Lin Yue said: "If you want to stay in Nan'an, you can leave now."

Fang Xingwen was stunned for a moment, looked at the camera hanging on his chest, and thought about the suicide note written by Duan Wu that read "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness, as one wishes", he shook his head, opened the car door and sat in.

...

next morning.

On the first floor of the warehouse of the Continental Bank, July was awakened by the rapid ringing of the phone. He subconsciously went to get the microphone on the desk in front of him. At this time, a half-circle hand held his hand.

"Look for me."

"Brother Lin?"

July let go of her hand, and Lin Yue answered the phone.

It was Baden's assistant who called, and the content was very simple. He told him that as long as the 524th regiment abandoned the Sixing Warehouse, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army agreed to issue a joint statement with Baden, and let the soldiers of the 524th regiment leave Shanghai through the British Concession out of humanitarian considerations. .

After hanging up the phone, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Xie Jinyuan walked in with Yang Ruifu and Shangguan Zhibiao.

"Who's calling?"

"Baden's assistant."

"Baden?" Xie Jinyuan didn't understand why Baden called. You must know that this old boy has always wanted to hide from the officials of the Nationalist Government. How could he take the initiative to contact them this time? Could it be... because of what happened yesterday?

"Yes, Baden, he called to tell us that the Japanese have agreed to the withdrawal of the 524 regiment through the British Concession."

"Evacuate, what are you talking about?"

Xie Jinyuan's complexion changed. You must know that he had no intention of evacuating the Sixing Warehouse. Just last night, seeing the rising enthusiasm of the residents on the South Bank, he also warned himself that even if he fought to the last person, he must show the backbone of the national army. And demeanor, let the Japanese know that the Chinese are not easy to bully, why today... why did Baden say such a thing?

"You made it up yourself?"

Lin Yue curled his lips: "I'm making my own decision? You'll soon know if I'm making my own decision."

"Tuanfu...Tuanfu..."

While the two were talking, a soldier ran over.

"The commander of the Japanese army is here and wants to see the regiment attached."

"The Japanese commander? Where is it?"

"It's at Qianmen Square."

At this moment, Lin Yue walked outside.

Xie Jinyuan noticed his movements: "I haven't finished talking yet, what are you doing?"

"Go and meet Jin Weixun."
