Chapter 1170: Itagaki's Expectations
Xu Rui's telegram arrived very timely, and with Xu Rui's reassurance, Wang Husheng and other high-level officials of the Songhu sub-district finally calmed down and did not take rash action. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Otherwise, I really don't know what will happen, people are scary, and sometimes they can really scare people to death.
Let's go back to Xu Rui, after finding a secret place and sending a telegram to the family, he immediately drove to the Liang Mansion, Itagaki Seishiro is still in the Liang Mansion, and it is not okay not to go.
It was late in the evening, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, so the speed was fast.
In less than half an hour, the Mercedes-Benz appeared outside the big iron gate of the Liang Mansion.
The subordinates of the Liang Mansion all knew the luxury Mercedes-Benz, and when they saw the Mercedes-Benz coming from a distance, the people who watched the door hurriedly stepped forward to push the big iron gate open, and before the big iron gate was fully opened, the Mercedes-Benz car had already roared in, and then stopped on the lawn in the yard with a creak.
Then the car door opened, Xu Rui got out of the car with the fish basket, and shouted as he walked: "Uncle! ā
In the hall of the Liang Mansion, Liang Hongzhi was chatting with Itagaki Seishiro, Liang Hongzhi's son Liang Wenhao, as well as the chief of staff of the Twelfth Army, Shigesei Aoki, and the captain of the Nanjing Military Police, Inuyangjiro, accompanied him.
Hearing this uncle, Liang Wenhao instinctively got up and wanted to hide.
Liang Wenhao really doesn't want to meet his cousin, and he can't afford to lose that person!
"Sit down!" Liang Hongzhi stomped on the floor with a cane and reprimanded, "I'm not afraid of people's jokes." ā
Seeing Liang Hongzhi reprimanding his son, the corners of Seishiro Itagaki, Shigesei Aoki and Dog Yojiro immediately showed a hint of a teasing smile, the confused account between Liang Wenhao and Liang Wuyi was very big in Nanjing at that time, and Seishiro Itagaki They also heard about it, but seriously speaking, Liang Wuyi did really too much.
The next moment, the door of the living room was pushed open by force, and a figure blew in like the wind.
"Uncle, the saury has been bought!" As soon as the figure entered, he shouted, "Your favorite swordfish...... Hey! ā
The person who came in was naturally Xu Rui, as if he had just found Seishiro Itagaki and the others sitting in the hall, so he immediately sighed lightly and said, "Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, and Your Excellency Dazuo, why are you here?" ā
"Liang Sang." Seishiro Itagaki stood up with a smile, and Shigesei Aoki and Yojiro quickly followed.
The three devils all stood up, and Liang Hongzhi and Liang Wenhao, father and son, naturally didn't dare to sit anymore, and quickly stood up.
"Liang Sang is really filial piety." Seishiro Itagaki smiled and said, "Dean Liang wants to eat fish, and you actually went to Shimonoseki Pier to buy saury, which really surprised us." ā
Shigesei Aoki also said with a smile: "Even I didn't expect that Liang Sang still has such a side. ā
Gorajiro didn't speak, just stared at Xu Rui with a knife-like gaze.
Xu Rui noticed the gaze of Inuyojiro, first glanced at him, and then turned his gaze to Itagaki Seishiro and Aoki Shigesei behind them, but an idea suddenly sprung up in his mind, at this time, he only needed to move his fingers, he could kill the commander and chief of staff of the Japanese Twelfth Army, and even have a military police captain.
It's just that this thought disappeared in Xu Rui's mind in a flash.
At this time, it was indeed easy to take out Seishiro Itagaki and Shigesei Aoki, but the sequelae were not small.
Because after killing Itagaki and Aoki, his Liang Wuyi's cover identity must have been exposed, and the Broadway Building will naturally be exposed, although now the Broadway Building and the patrol camp have combined to have a lot of strength, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, there is only the Ninth Division in Shanghai.
If the garrison in Shanghai only had the Ninth Division, the patrol camp and the Broadway building would indeed have a great chance of winning, but now the situation has changed, and after learning that the commander of the patrol battalion was him, the little devil Hirohito actually wanted to transfer all the 7th and 20th divisions.
In the face of the three permanent divisions of the devils, the pressure immediately increased.
In order to cope with the threat of three divisions, the Songhu Division had to quickly find a way to expand its strength, at least to 20,000 men, or even more, before the arrival of the 7th and 20th Divisions!
Otherwise, as soon as the 7th and 20th divisions arrive, there will be big trouble!
Therefore, now that the Broadway Building cannot be exposed, it will not be able to kill Seishiro Itagaki.
What's more, even if he kills Seishiro Itagaki now, a defeated general, the little devil Hirohito will send another old devil over to serve as the commander of the Twelfth Army, which will not fundamentally solve this problem.
Xu Rui immediately dispelled the idea of killing Itagaki Seishiro, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Commander and Your Excellency the Chief of Staff If you have understood our Chinese culture, you will know that our China has always put filial piety first, so it is not a matter for me to go to the dock and buy a few fish for my uncle to eat." ā
Xu Rui's implication is that although this young master is a gentleman, he can also be a filial son.
Shigesei Aoki and Seishiro Itagaki glanced at each other, smiled and said: "Your Excellency Commander and I have also studied Chinese culture a little, and I know that you have an ancient Chinese saying called "Filial piety comes first", but what I am more curious about is that when filial piety and loyalty conflict, how will Liang Sang choose?" ā
Aoki Shigesei said this, even if he accepted Xu Rui's explanation just now.
In fact, for Xu Rui's answer, Seishiro Itagaki and Shigesei Aoki are still very satisfied, of course they also hope that Liang Wuyi is a filial son, because this at least means that Liang Wuyi still has a weakness that can be controlled by them, otherwise, if Liang Wuyi really has no weakness, plus his ability is so strong, it will really make people worry.
Although Seishiro Itagaki and Shigesei Aoki are not in Shanghai, their attention to Shanghai has never relaxed.
In the current situation in Shanghai, if there is no Broadway building in front of it, the situation will be much worse!
In turn, Seishiro Itagaki and Shigesei Aoki must consider another pressing issue, that is, how to ensure the loyalty of Liang Wuyi. How to ensure that Liang Wuyi will not be rebelled? Because once Liang Wuyi is rebelled, the impact on the situation in Shanghai will be fatal, and it may even lead to the complete erosion of the entire Songhu area.
As the commander of the Twelfth Army, as well as the chief of staff, Itagaki and Aoki had to think about this issue.
This time, I heard that Liang Wuyi had returned to Nanjing, and Seishiro Itagaki and Shigesei Aoki had come to the Liang Mansion from their busy schedules, and they had to give Liang Wuyi some sweetness, and at the same time, they had to give him some warnings to ensure that he would not have other thoughts and that he would always remain loyal to the imperial army.
Among them, Itagaki and Aoki have a clear division of labor.
Aoki is in charge of singing the white face, and Itantan is in charge of singing the red face.
So, Shigesei Aoki threw out this topic, when Liang Hongzhi's interests conflict with the imperial army, how should you Liang Wenhao choose? This is actually a trap, because no matter how Xu Rui chooses, it is wrong, if you choose filial piety, that is to disregard the interests of the imperial army, but if you choose loyalty, then the problem is even more serious, who is your loyalty loyal to?
Aoki Shigemako's original intention was to use this topic to make trouble, to reprimand Liang Wuyi fiercely, and then itagaki Seishiro came forward to appease him, although this method of beating a handful and giving a sweet date is low-level, but it is effective, because this has been proven countless times in history.
It's just that Xu Rui didn't follow this routine at all.
"I don't need to face this problem, because my uncle will never embarrass me." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Liang Hongzhi, "Uncle, are you right?" You're not going to embarrass me, are you? ā
"Of course, of course." Liang Hongzhi hurriedly got up, nodded at Aoki Chongcheng and said, "Aoki Taijun, the old man will definitely urge him all the time, let him serve the imperial army wholeheartedly, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ā
Hearing this, Aoki Shigemasi's face immediately fell, as if he had eaten a fly, because he couldn't sing this play.
The rhythm was completely disrupted, and Seishiro Itagaki couldn't sing anymore, so he said to Xu Rui at the moment: "Liang Sang, let's not discuss the issue of loyalty and filial piety first, let's talk about some serious things, that's the case, the commander of the patrol battalion is Xu Rui, you must have heard about it, right?" ā
"I just heard about it, too." Xu Rui said, "It's really unexpected. ā
After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "But this Xu Rui is like that, it's not as terrible as the legend, at least our Broadway building won't be afraid of him." ā
Seishiro Itagaki glanced at Shigesei Aoki again.
To be honest, when they knew that the commander of the patrol battalion was Xu Rui, Itagaki and Aoki were quite surprised, not only the fact that Xu Rui was the commander of the patrol camp itself, but also what surprised them was that the Broadway Building led by Liang Wuyi was able to compete with Xu Rui's patrol camp, and it was not falling behind for such a long time.
It is precisely because of this that Seishiro Itagaki will make a special trip.
To put it bluntly, Itagaki Seishiro came specifically to win over Liang Wuyi and make a wish for the official.
To be honest, Seishiro Itagaki still has very high expectations for Liang Wuyi now.
Having said this, Seishiro Itagaki no longer hides it, nor does he play any tricks of playing a stick and then giving a sweet date, but says straight to the point: "Liang Sang, I'll tell you the truth today, I have high expectations for you and the Broadway building you lead." ā
"Hello." Xu Rui immediately paused and said, "I will definitely live up to the trust of His Excellency the Commander." ā
"Yo Si." Itagaki Seishiro nodded happily, and said, "Liang Sang, I think so, since Uncle Ling is unwilling to go to Shanghai to serve as the mayor, then it is the same for you to be the mayor, however, considering that you are still too young, if you go directly to such a high position as the mayor of Shanghai, it will inevitably teach the truth, so ......"
