Aoki Shigesei continued: "So, the mayor is still Uncle Ling, and you are the deputy mayor and fully preside over the administrative affairs of Shanghai, what do you think?" ”

Xu Rui couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Itagaki is an old devil, in order to win him over, he really did it at any cost!

Because Liang Hongzhi is reluctant to go to Shanghai, if he becomes the deputy mayor of Shanghai, it is equivalent to the mayor.

If Xu Rui is an ordinary gentry or a gentleman, then this appointment is worthless, even if he is the mayor, he is just a puppet, but Xu Rui is different.

With Liang Wuyi's current murderous reputation, coupled with the Broadway building controlled by his subordinates, if he is appointed as the deputy mayor of Shanghai with real power, it will be like a tiger with wings, then he is simply the emperor of Shanghai, except for the Japanese, who would dare to say a word in front of him?

For example, if there are local tyrants and inferior gentry who have taken refuge in the Japanese, Xu Rui's official letter can make them bankrupt!

This is not nonsense, the Green Gang is awesome enough, right? A hundred-year-old gang, helping hundreds of thousands of people! But so what? Zhang Xiaolin directly asked Liang Wuyi to be slapped to death on the spot like an ant, and Huang Jinrong begged to come to the door, but he was still detained as a hostage by Liang Wuyi without saying anything, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead until now.

Du Yuesheng also walked fast and ran to Hong Kong in advance, otherwise, Du Yuesheng would never have any good fruits to eat.

Even the three hooligan tycoons who were famous on the beach ended up like this, how could others dare to blow up in front of Liang Wuyi?

This means that Seishiro Itagaki really intends to hand over the power of Shanghai to Liang Wuyi, and someone else will be the mayor of Shanghai, so he can only be a puppet, but Liang Wuyi can hold up this face.

At that moment, Xu Rui pretended to be sincerely frightened on his face, and said in a panic: "This, Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid I can't afford this heavy responsibility?" ”

"No, no, no." Itagaki Seishiro waved his hand and said, "Liang Sang, your ability is no problem. ”

After a pause, Seishiro Itagaki stared at Xu Rui's eyes again and said, "Your loyalty is absolutely no problem, so if you relax your mind, the imperial army will definitely give you full support!" ”

"Hello." Xu Rui immediately paused and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency Commander, for cultivating." ”

Xu Rui said modestly, and then agreed, because this is in line with the style of gentlemen.

"Liang Sang, please." Itagaki Seishiro stood up and bowed slightly to Xu Rui.

The accompanying Aoki Shigesei and Dog Yojiro also quickly got up, bowed slightly to Xu Rui, and then the three of them left the Liang Mansion.

Liang Hongzhi took Xu Rui and Liang Wenhao to send the three old devils outside the gate of the mansion.

After sending them away, Liang Wenhao immediately ran away, he really didn't want to stay with Liang Wuyi, he didn't want to be with Liang Wuyi, he didn't want to for a second, because when he saw Liang Wuyi, he couldn't help but think of Jiangnan, thinking of Jiangnan, he felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to strangle Liang Wuyi to death, but he didn't have the ability, so he could only hide.

Liang Hongzhi had something to say to Xu Rui, so he took Xu Rui into the study and retreated from everyone.

"Sir, what does the military commander want?" Liang Hongzhi said worriedly, "Your scene is too big. ”

To be honest, when Xu Rui approached Liang Hongzhi in the name of military commandery, Liang Hongzhi actually did not resist in his heart, and even secretly rejoiced, because there are still very few Chinese who are really determined to be dogs for the Japanese, and the vast majority of traitors are just greedy for life and fear of death or greedy for glory and wealth.

Since they took refuge in the Japanese because they were greedy for life and fear of death, or greedy for wealth and wealth, they would never hang themselves on a tree, they definitely hoped to leave a back road for themselves, and the military command was the best way back, so when Xu Rui came to the door at that time, Liang Hongzhi was happy in his heart, and agreed almost without hesitation.

But the situation has developed to the present, but Liang Hongzhi is afraid.

There is nothing else, because Xu Rui's movement in Shanghai is too big, kill Zhang Xiaolin and Fu Xiao'an and then kidnap Huang Jinrong, and even take the black industry in the Shanghai Concession in one pot, and rob tens of thousands of boxes of opium alone, this is offending the people on the road to death, the people in the military command are not afraid, but he is afraid.

Liang Hongzhi still remembers that when the news of Xu Rui's killing of Zhang Xiaolin and Fu Xiao'an in Paramount was transmitted back to Nanjing, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep well for three days and three nights, and he was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and the scenes in the dreams were almost the same, he was assassinated, and the reason why Liang Hongzhi was reluctant to go to Shanghai to take office was because he was afraid of being assassinated.

This is not what Liang Hongzhi is most worried about, what Liang Hongzhi is most worried about is that the personnel scale of the Broadway Building is like blowing up a balloon, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of people.

The reason why Liang Hongzhi cooperated with the military commander was to leave a way back for himself, not to dig his own grave.

At that moment, Liang Hongzhi said in a low voice: "Your military commander is a secret front, shouldn't you try to keep a low profile?" But how is the style of Broadway Building, how high-profile is it, and you are not afraid of leaking the news? ”

"What, scared? Want to quit? Xu Rui teased, "I want to quit now, but it's too late." ”

After a pause, Xu Rui said suddenly: "Now even if you go to sue the Japanese, it's too late, anyway, now that our Broadway Building has become a climate, even if the devil knows, it's a big deal to tear it up and start it directly, even if our Broadway Building can't escape the life of being exterminated in the end, at least we can tear off a piece of meat from the devil." ”

After another pause, Xu Rui continued: "Once the devil suffers a loss, he will definitely be angry with you in the end, at that time, Dean Liang will not only be the mayor of Shanghai, but he is afraid that he will be shot, tsk, when the traitor is shot by the Japanese, Dean Liang is afraid that he is the only one in the past, and this alone is enough to go down in history." ”

Liang Hongzhi's face immediately turned to ashes, because Xu Rui's words hit his heart!

"So." Xu Rui said indifferently, "You still obediently stay in Nanjing as a duke, don't think about anything, don't do anything, maybe there can be a good result, otherwise, the Japanese will not spare you, the national government will not spare you, and the 450 million people in the country will not spare you!" ”

Liang Hongzhi's expression was like earth, and he didn't even know when Xu Rui left.

Going back to Seishiro Itagaki and getting into a car with Shigesei Aoki and Yojiro Inugami.

Shigesei Aoki frowned and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, would it be too hasty to suddenly appoint Liang Wuyi as the vice mayor of Shanghai?" After all, Liang Wuyi is not an ordinary person, even if an ordinary person becomes the mayor of Shanghai, he is just a puppet in the hands of the imperial army, but even if Liang Wuyi is just a deputy mayor, he is afraid that he can sing a big show. ”

"Singing the stage? Just sing the big show! Seishiro Itagaki said in a deep voice, "I just want him to sing a big show!" ”

Aoki Shigecheng's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, commander, do you lack confidence in the Shanghai strategy formulated by the base camp?" Do you think that with the strength of the 7th, 9th and 20th Divisions, and still can't wipe out a patrol camp, you still need the help of Liang Wuyi's Broadway Building? ”

Seishiro Itagaki asked Shigesei Aoki rhetorically: "Aoki-kun, do you have confidence?" ”

Aoki Shigesei immediately fell silent when he heard this, and frankly, he was not very confident.

Because Xu Rui is so capable of fighting, I won't talk about the first few sweeps of Dameishan, just the latest sweep of Dameishan, the Japanese army dispatched two divisions and a detachment, plus a chariot wing, but in the end Xu Rui was defeated by less than 10,000 people!

This time the superiority of the Japanese army was not more obvious than last time, and the result was hardly optimistic.

Perhaps, the only good news was that Shanghai was next to the Huangpu River, and Japanese naval warships could follow the Huangpu River to the outskirts of Shanghai to provide artillery support to the army.

Even so, Shigesei Aoki is not very confident.

Seeing that Aoki Shigesei was silent, Seishiro Itagaki said again: "So if you want to successfully solve this Shanghai incident, the strength of the imperial army alone is not enough, you must also rely on the strength of the Chinese, if you can use the Broadway Building well, you may be able to play an unexpected role, after all, the Chinese know the Chinese better, right?" ”

Aoki Shigecheng frowned and said, "Liang Wuyi is only afraid that he is not Xu Rui's opponent. ”

"Liang Wuyi is definitely not Xu Rui's opponent." Seishiro Itagaki said, "It can be seen from the record of the Patrol Camp and the Broadway Building that the Patrol Camp has never fought the Broadway Building head-on, and every time the fight has been superficial, it has not dealt a fatal blow to the Broadway Building, and even the raid on the Broadway Building has not been killed." ”

After a pause, Seishiro Itagaki said again: "The reason why Xu Rui wants to do this is nothing more than to create an illusion that the Broadway building can be on par with the patrol camp, and he wants to confuse us, and then he can postpone the date of the imperial army's heavy army as much as possible, and they will have more time to develop and grow." ”

Aoki said incomprehensibly: "Since this is the case, why does Your Excellency the Commander still value Liang Wuyi so much?" ”

Seishiro Itagaki waved his hand and asked Shigesei Aoki rhetorically, "Aoki-kun, I don't know if you've heard of a large canine, the hyena. ”

"Hyenas?" Shigesei Aoki shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Seishiro Itagaki added: "This is a dog in the African savannah, and it is far inferior to lions in terms of size, strength or bite force, but lions often take great risks when hunting huge African buffaloes, and if they are not careful, they may be pierced by the horns and seriously injured or even killed." ”
