On the way back, Feng Chen drove the car, took Lu Mengying in front, and Ishikawa Masao drove the car alone and followed closely behind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"President, will there be a fight here in Shanghai?" Lu Mengying asked.
"Yes, just for the next two days." Feng Chen said calmly.
"The Japanese overseas Chinese here in Hongkou are so fanatical, it looks like a big barracks."
Lu Mengying really felt the madness of the Japanese people on the spot today, this simple girl who had just graduated from Fudan University, couldn't figure it out in her heart, how could the Japanese be like this?
"If war breaks out, will Britain, France, and the United States intervene?" Lu Mengying asked innocently again.
"Even if these countries interfere, the Japanese will not listen, and this country has gone crazy now." Feng Chen didn't know how to explain to this simple girl.
"President, can I write an article about what I saw and heard today and publish it in the "Current Affairs Weekly?" Lu Mengying asked cautiously.
"Yes, I'll help you revise it after it's written." Feng Chen agreed.
As he spoke, the car had already come to the parking lot in front of the Zhonghui Bank building on Aidoya Road and stopped.
"Miss Lu, you tell Xu Jian and ask him to wait for me in the editorial office, I will go to the Japanese consulate with Mr. Masao Ishikawa, there is something wrong." Feng Chen knew that Xu Jian must still be waiting for him upstairs.
"Okay, President." Lu Mengying pushed the car door and got out of the car.
Looking at Lu Mengying's figure, Feng Chen sighed in his heart, what will happen to simple girls like his sister and Lu Mengying in the face of war in the future?
After Feng Chen got out of the car, he got into Masao Ishikawa's car directly and headed towards the Japanese Consulate.
"Feng San, Aoki Sanshui seems to be afraid of you?" After the car was driving, Ishikawa Masao turned his head and looked at Feng Chen and said.
"Oh? Why is he afraid of me? I don't know him. Feng Chen asked rhetorically.
"Probably because of his uncle." Masao Ishikawa said.
"I'm afraid that's not the reason." Feng Chen shook his head.
"Then he just said that there was an invisible fear after seeing you." Ishikawa Masao glanced at Feng Chen again.
"Ishikawa-kun, who is Aoki Sansui? It's not just going to be a business trip for the resident militia, right? Feng Chen asked.
"You don't know his identity?" Ishikawa Masao turned his head and looked at Feng Chen and asked.
"Oh? Could it be that he is from our Sakura Club? Feng Chen asked rhetorically.
"Yes, he is Oleander, and our Sakura Club is a member of the Shanghai Youth Gang, and he directly accepts my one-line leadership." Ishikawa Masao thinks that Feng Chen should know about Aoki Sansui.
"Ishikawa-kun, you know, in our Sakura Club, I only know the code names of many members, and I don't know my real identity at all." Feng Chen said.
"I know, I do too, maybe the only one who knows every identity is the teacher." Masao Ishikawa seems to reveal his dissatisfaction with Ryuichi Hiraoka.
"Ishikawa-kun, the teacher also has his difficulties, after all, he has not engaged in espionage work, he is a literati." Feng Chen said something from his heart.
"Hehe, Feng Sang, war sometimes drives literati crazy." Masao Ishikawa said with a smile.
"Will the teacher go crazy?" Feng Chen asked.
"I don't know, I guess I'm going crazy!" Masao Ishikawa said.
Ishikawa Masao's words made Feng Chen's spine feel a faint chill.
The two of them talked, and soon came to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, and after getting out of the car, the two went directly to the office of Ryuichi Hiraoka on the second floor.
"You're back?" Ryuichi Hiraoka was walking around his office, as if he was thinking about something big.
"Teacher, on the side of the resident militia, 3,600 armed men have been organized." Masao Ishikawa reported.
"So much?" Ryuichi Hiraoka was surprised.
"Yes, there are also some women who have asked for weapons to be distributed to them, but the resident militia has not agreed." Masao Ishikawa said.
"No women are allowed to fight!"
Ryuichi Hiraoka believes that war should not be a woman's business, but once a war breaks out, can women be spared? Is it possible not to involve women in the war?
"Teacher, are you really fighting?" Feng Chen asked.
"What a fight! The cabinet and the military department have unified their thinking, since Lao Chiang does not accept the conditions of our Great Japan, we will speak to him by force, and within three months, let Lao Chiang surrender and fall! Ryuichi Hiraoka showed a rare level of self-confidence.
"Teacher, I'm afraid that Shanghai may not be able to win it within three months, let alone the whole of China." Feng Chen told the truth.
"Haha, Feng Sang, do you think that the Japanese army in Shanghai is too small?" Hiraoka Ryuichi's demeanor made Feng Chen unable to understand for the first time, and his teacher suddenly became very unfamiliar.
"Teacher, in fact, I saw it today, in Hongkou, there are men and women of all ages in Japan, they are all soldiers, I don't think that Shanghai has few troops, a nation where all people are soldiers, it is scary!" Feng Chen expressed the worries in his heart.
"Feng Sang, that's a great point! If you Chinese can be as united as our great Japan, and if all men, women, and children are soldiers, you will hold stones and wooden sticks, and we will not dare to bully you. ”
For the first time in front of Feng Chen, Hiraoka Ruichi said the deep-seated reason that made Feng Chen think for a long time, and Feng Chen had to admit that Hiraoka Ryuichi was right.
Isn't Japan's fishing plan against China a clear understanding of the humanity of the Chinese?
"Teacher, you are right, the Chinese are selfish, the Chinese are self-interested, but once these selfish people awaken, what will happen to your Greater Japan?" Feng Chen longed for the unity of the Chinese people.
"Feng Sang, let's no longer discuss this deep-seated cultural issue, the war will start soon, I asked you to come today, there is a very important matter that you need to deal with."
Hiraoka Ryuichi has never given an order directly to Feng Chen, and every time he talks to Feng Chen, he is polite, that is, he arranges things for Feng Chen, and he always discusses it.
"What are the arrangements, just ask the teacher." Feng Chen agreed.
"Two days after tomorrow, the war in Shanghai will definitely start, and I analyze that once the war starts, Hongkou and Jiangwan will be the main battlefields, so I want to retreat the cherry blossoms to the French Concession." Ryuichi Hiraoka said.
"Teacher thinks the Great Japanese Consulate is not safe either?" Feng Chen asked deliberately.
"It's not that the Great Nippon Zero Museum is unsafe, it's that our Sakura Club is unsafe, and I want to set up a compilation agency in the French Concession as an agency of the Sakura Club in Shanghai." Hiraoka Ryuichi finally said the purpose of letting Feng Chen come today.
"What is the teacher's plan?" Feng Chen asked.
"I want to lease all the fourth floor of the Zhonghui Building and open a compilation agency, as for the president, I want you to be the president, but I must not say to the outside world that the compilation agency is run by the Japanese."
Ryuichi Hiraoka's proposal surprised Feng Chen very much, the third floor of the Zhonghui Bank building is his editorial department, and the fifth floor is the office of the Shanghai Intelligence Station of the Military Control Bureau, and now Ryuichi Hiraoka wants to place the Cherry Blossom Club on the fourth floor.
"Teacher, it seems that the building is complicated." Feng Chen said cryptically.
"It's complicated, Feng Sang, do you think that your magazine is there, and if you put the compilation agency there, it will have an impact on you?" Ryuichi Hiraoka asked directly.
"The teacher is right, the current "Current Affairs Weekly" magazine, in the minds of outsiders, is an anti-Japanese magazine, and now you suddenly let me concurrently serve as the president of the compilation agency, what will the people think when they know about it?" Feng Chen expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Feng Sang, when you start to run the compilation agency, I will allow you to publish Lu Xun's articles, and you can also publish a little bit, those pro-Japanese high-level Chinese leaders. The thoughts of anti-Japanese high-ranking officials. "It seems that Ryuichi Hiraoka wants to put a long line to catch big fish.
"Teacher, since you say so, I might as well be respectful." Feng Chen reluctantly agreed.
"Feng Sang, then I'll ask Yoshida Yoshio to come over tomorrow to assist you and complete all the formalities." As soon as Hiraoka Long saw Feng Chen agree, he immediately made a decision.
"Oh? Yoshida-kun returned to Shanghai? Feng Chen asked.
"Not only Yoshida is back, but Matsuo-kun is also back." Ryuichi Hiraoka replied.
"Teacher, does Great Japan want to transfer the war from North China to North China, and then let Britain, France, and the United States mediate?" Feng Chen said what he thought in his heart.
