Chapter 945: Sending Charcoal in the Snow to Lend a Hand

"What do I have to do with these scumbag bastards? It's a pure waste of saliva! You don't want to think about it, Chen Mingxiang is not interested in power and position, and is focused on smuggling and making money, what good soldiers can such a leader bring? ”

"I have eyeliner in the experimental area, and now this group of people, every day when they open their eyes, they are calculating how to use the smuggling channels of Huatong Trading Company to make money, and then they are eating, drinking and having fun, since the headquarters has been relocated, the experimental area has not even handled a decent case!"

"Chen Mingxiang didn't care about them, and he didn't care about them at all, look at the experimental area, how long has it been, not a single staffing has been applied, and I don't expect them to add glory to me, as long as they don't cause trouble for me, thank God!" Li Shiqun snorted coldly and said.

Whether it is She Aizhen, Pan Da, Wang Ji'an and others from the guard brigade, or Zhang Jinlu and Lin Zhijiang and others from the action brigade, no one puts their minds on work.

They took advantage of their special status and Chen Mingxiang's protection to loot and plunder everywhere in Shanghai, and also colluded with smugglers in the Kuomintang to provide a large amount of strategic materials for the Huatong Trading Company.

Chen Mingxiang is very generous to his subordinates, and he has always settled the accounts in cash, and these spies in the Shanghai Experimental Zone have also made a fortune because of this, and their lives are very nourishing. Under such circumstances, who would want to arrest the military commanders and find the underground party? Isn't that full-fed?

That night, a convoy of six cars and two trucks drove to the gate of the Japanese army's No. 1 concentration camp in western Huxi, that is, No. 404 Yuyuan Road, where the members of the Public Concession Bureau and their families were mainly imprisoned.

The Japanese military police standing at the gate did not have any review of the arrival of this convoy, and directly opened the gate, and in the car in the middle, sat Chen Mingxiang, Ono Nakasa, and Okamura Shaoza.

This was Chen Mingxiang's visit to "condolences" to foreign nationals on behalf of the "Shanghai Civil Charity Group" and to carry forward the humanitarian spirit; of course, this move was tacitly approved in advance by the Shanghai Gendarmerie Headquarters and the Shanghai Marine Corps Headquarters.

Chen Mingxiang made it very clear to both sides that he was secretly entrusted by the Military Command Bureau, which was entrusted by the embassies of various countries in Shancheng, to only send coarse grain once or twice a month to check the health of the patients in the concentration camps, and to do nothing else.

Despite the state of war, the Japanese government has no intention of killing all these foreign nationals, as long as the blockade does not cause hidden dangers to the Shanghai market, other small things can be accommodated.

"Thank you Mr. Chen for your help, if you don't come again, I'm afraid some people won't be able to hold on, hurry up and let the doctor show the patients first!" Riddle said excitedly.

There were two cars with doctors and nurses, and some medicines, and the smell of the truck came out, and the driver lifted the canvas covering it, and below it was a basket of sticks and noodles, and the golden ones were very large.

The people in the concentration camp soon all ran out, and these coarse grains, which they usually don't look at, are now better than red wine steaks, and Chen Mingxiang also saw that the foreign expatriates were all yellow and thin, and some needed to be supported to move, and their eyes were full of hunger for food.

It has been almost three months since I entered the concentration camp on February 15, and when I finally saw Chen Mingxiang begin to fulfill his promise to come to help, everyone felt that they were desperate to survive. Everyone's greatest hope before was Chen Mingxiang, who is also the patron saint of all foreign expatriates, second only to God.

According to the regulations of the Japanese army, every adult refugee in the camp had to participate in labor in exchange for living space, including heavy manual labor such as cleaning sewers, burning bricks, and transporting coal.

Concentration camp personnel were not allowed to escape, and they were not allowed to move around unless they went to the toilet or bathroom. Only two meals a day, breakfast, four days a week with only one cup of tea, and the other three days an ounce of wheat cereal. Lunch, cabbage soup and a potato, dinner at all.

Drinking water was rationed, with only five litres of water per person per day, and domestic water was severely restricted for bathing and flushing, and even bathing was later canceled.

"Mr. Riddle, I also have difficulties, I don't mean to delay time, if you want to go to the concentration camp to carry out such charitable activities, you need to get the approval of the Japanese army, but from now on, the situation will be better, and I will win the right to come twice a month."

"The truck was mainly cornmeal nests, and I brought some pickles, and I also prepared a few boxes of canned food, salt and cane sugar, which you carefully stored, which were mainly for the patients, as well as some vitamins and aspirin and other medicines."

"I can't stay too long, the head of the nest is five per person, hurry up and divide it, but remember, you must not eat it all at once, at most eat one or half a day, and wait for the next time, I will find a way to increase it to ten per person."

"The amount of these cornmeal nests is very sufficient, one top is usually two to three, although it can't solve the problem, but it can also ensure that no one dies of hunger, by the way, I have cigarettes in the car, and I will distribute them to everyone now, two packs per person." Chen Mingxiang said.

Before coming, he insisted that the gendarmes and marines carefully check that there were no prohibited items before being sent to the concentration camp.

And this cautious approach makes the military police stationed in Shanghai and the marines stationed in Shanghai feel very satisfied, isn't it just some pickles!

It is understandable that foreign embassies have privately contacted Chen Mingxiang to provide assistance to their nationals through the Military Command Bureau of the Yamashiro government, not to mention that this help will not affect the interests of the empire.

Chen Mingxiang gave Gangmura Shaozo and Ono Nakasa 10,000 U.S. dollars each, and gave the two commanders 100,000 U.S. dollars each, in fact, even if he gave rice and white noodles, no one would say anything else, but he didn't do it.

That's the way it is, if you send Wotou pickles, you will definitely get gratitude, if you send rice and white noodles, you may get complaints, and you have the ability to send these good things, why don't you send some red wine steak?

It took Chen Mingxiang a whole night to run through the camps one by one, most of them putting down and saying a few words, chatting with the representatives of the expatriates, and secretly taking pictures.

I stayed for half an hour at most, and then I hurried to the next concentration camp and sent four large trucks with a total of more than 40,000 nests, and the whole process was very patient and meticulous.

His prestige among foreign nationals in the concentration camp, because of this initiative that did not cost much money, rushed to the peak in one fell swoop, and received full gratitude, most of them burst into tears, and the power of sending charcoal in the snow was very powerful, and everyone firmly remembered Chen Mingxiang.

Although he didn't sleep for a night, he didn't feel sleepy at all, because he knew that this was his protection after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, although it was a bit shameless, but such a resource could never be given up.
