Chapter Seventy-One: The Manager of British American Tobacco
"Taijun, I really haven't seen Ren Laifeng! Who is Ren Laifeng? Why do I need to know where he is? Liu Dong is worthy of being the backbone of the military command, and he hasn't forgotten to perform at this time.
"Someone reported that he saw Ren Laifeng enter Liu Ji Cotton Store and did not go out. You must know where Ren Laifeng is hiding, and it doesn't matter if you say it. Don't say it, it's dead, it's dead! The devil Dazuo changed his face as he spoke, raised his shining sword high, and his eyes shone fiercely!
"Taijun, my business is here, and my house is here. Why should I offend you for the sake of a Ren Laifeng who I have never met? The person who told you must have seen it wrong, and if you don't believe it, you call him in and ask him to search in person. He searched casually here, and if he found out what you said, you shot me! ”
"Shoot you? No, I just want you to tell you the whereabouts of Ren Laifeng! Search, search for me! Search every hidden place here! Tie him up for me! The devil Dazuo roared loudly, and several devils rushed up and tied Liu Dong with a rope. Liu Dong closed his eyes, how to love.
The devil Dazuo looked at Liu Dong's eyes and rolled, and just wanted to say something, a devil lieutenant ran in outside, "Report to Your Excellency Muto Daisa, there is Smith, the manager of British American Tobacco, who wants to see you." ”
"The manager of British American Tobacco?" Muto's face was a little dazed, he didn't seem to have any dealings with the people at British American Tobacco, right? What do they want to see themselves? Before Muto could figure out what to do, a strange roar sounded outside: "I want to see Muto Daisa, you get out of the way!" Daisa Muto, I'm Smith! Smith! Daisa Muto! ”
The voice was loud and getting closer, and soon a Caucasian man with yellow hair and blue eyes appeared at the door, the manager of British American Tobacco. Despite the presence of devil soldiers, Smith insisted on going this way. The devil soldiers seemed to be quite jealous of him, and they didn't dare to use force.
"Mr. Liu! You're not hurt, are you? Smith rushed to the scene and asked Liu Dong, who was tied up, and then turned his face to the devil and said: "Muto Daisa, Mr. Liu is the best guest and friend of our British American Tobacco, you can't treat him like this!" ”
"Smith, this is our own affair with the Imperial Japanese Army, please do not interfere in our military operations. Otherwise, if something unpleasant happens, it's entirely your own responsibility. ”
"I protest! I protest against you for treating your friends at British American Tobacco like this! On behalf of British American Tobacco and on behalf of the United States, I would like to lodge a grave protest against the Japanese government! Smith shook his fist and roared loudly. Muto's expression was a little helpless.
"Your Excellency, the phone." The signal soldier ran over with a wireless phone on his back and handed the microphone to Yuichiro Muto.
"Yuichiro Muto, you immediately release the cotton merchant Liu Dong." A cold Japanese phrase came from the microphone.
Muto was stunned when he heard it, he could already hear it, it was the voice of General Tanabe Moritake, chief of staff of the front army. Tanabe Moritake is his direct leader, but a word makes Muto unwilling to release people. "But, General, why release them? This Liu Dong is likely to have something to do with Ren Laifeng, and I suspect that he is actually an agent of the Chongqing Military Command. This person can't put! ”
"Did you catch Ren Laifeng? No? Then release them immediately! There's no reason for that! How? Do you want Admiral Okamura to give you orders himself? Muto didn't dare to insist, he could feel the anger of Chief of Staff Tanabe, the anger from the general, across the phone! The anger of the chief of staff of the North China Front was by no means something he, the captain of the Yaqi Brigade, should bear.
"Hey, I'll let him go." Putting down the phone, Muto showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry for making you suffer." Untie the rope! Manager Smith, this is all a misunderstanding, I apologize for the confusion caused to the two of you, sorry. Walk! ”
Muto hurried away with his subordinates.
"Smith! Thank you so much this time, my friend! As soon as Muto left, Liu Dong immediately walked over and shook Smith's hand to express his gratitude.
"Liu, we are friends, of course I will help you when you are in trouble. This time, it's just a little bit of the British American Tobacco brand, I can't imagine that so many big people buy tobacco companies' accounts, maybe they are used to my company's cigarettes, right? Smith explained the behind-the-scenes story of his comeback in a humorous way that is characteristic of Americans.
"Introduce you to a few friends." The personal relationship between the two is really good, Liu Dong took Smith over to meet Ren Laifeng very casually, "Commander Ren, this is Smith, the manager of the Zhengzhou branch of British American Tobacco." Smith, this is Ren Laifeng, the commander of our border guerrilla division. You two get to know each other. ”
"Commander! Oh my God, what a young and handsome general you are! It's been a pleasure to meet you! Smith enthusiastically opened his arms to hug Commander Ren, but was cleverly avoided by Ren Laifeng.
"Manager Smith, it's an honor and I have known you. We Chinese still prefer a more reserved etiquette, let's shake hands. I'm not a general, you can call me Ren Laifeng, or you can call me a commander or a battalion commander, but don't call me a general. "Ren Laifeng is still a cut away from the general, but he is called a general even though he is not, and he is awkward to listen to him.
Liu Dong also has a lot of things to do here, and Ren Laifeng is not an idler, since he has received the weapons and ammunition, he exchanged a few words with Smith, and Ren Laifeng proposed to leave. Liu Dong didn't keep it, everyone took care of each other and said goodbye.
What happened just now, although Ren Laifeng didn't show up, he didn't go far, he hid in the inner room, and he heard everything that happened outside. Unexpectedly, this Muto Yuichiro's nose was so smart, and he chased after Muto as soon as he arrived. When will you get rid of this old devil?
Ren Laifeng thought about Muto, and arrived at the Cloth Factory Hotel in front. The hotel guy already knew him, and he greeted him from afar, "How many gentlemen are here?" Please go up to the third floor, and the private room will always be reserved for you. ”
After Ren Laifeng and his buddy nodded, they went up the stairs to the third floor. The private room on the third floor is really empty, the private room is clean, and there is a faint fragrance when you ask your nose. When I looked, it turned out that there was a pot of roses in full bloom on the table.
Open the window and the view from the window is unobstructed. The infantry commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army, Liden Xing, saw the situation in the first command headquarters clearly. I saw the devils coming in and out, busy, but I didn't know which one of them was the carp Dengxingyi?
