Xu Rui was happy when he heard this, it turned out that Ferguson wanted to be crooked, after he saw Yang Rui leading the third company out of the barracks, he mistakenly thought that the lone army camp was about to evacuate, and then thought that Xu Rui had threatened him before leaving, saying that he would leave all the hostages and lead the lone army camp to break through from Shanghai, Ferguson thought that Xu Rui really wanted to do this.

Ferguson yelled, "You bastards, you can't do this, you can't!" ”

"Can't do that? Why not? Xu Rui snorted, "Brigadier General Ferguson, in fact, even if you don't want to see me, I have to come up to say goodbye to you, our advance team has already set off, and the main force of the lone army camp will soon be mobilized, but your Gurkha royal infantry battalion still has these hostages, I'm afraid you can only pray for the kindness of the Japanese." ”

Japanese people are kind? God, how can the Japanese be kind? The Japanese wish they had killed them!

Ferguson said urgently: "If you leave us to the Japanese, we will certainly not survive, but your China will also be finished, and your China will be the first to end, don't you care about your country and your compatriots?" I'm not kidding, if we are all killed, you China will definitely be isolated, and your China will really be doomed. ”

"So what?" Xu Rui was stunned, "Two years ago, the Nationalist Government and Chairman Jiang abandoned our lonely military camp, and today, two years later, we can't afford to work for his old Jiang anymore, this is called one report and one report!" ”

Ferguson panicked, the lone camp could be gone, but they really couldn't survive.

What's worse is that if they are killed by the Japanese army, it is very likely that they will eventually lead to a result that is unfavorable to the British Empire, which Ferguson does not want to see in any case, these bastards in the lone military camp can not care about the safety and survival of China, but he, as a brigadier general, cannot ignore the interests of the British Empire.

Of course, Ferguson cares most about his own life and honor.

After Xu Rui finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave, since Ferguson is afraid of this, then Lao Tzu will scare you to death.

Seeing Xu Rui get up to leave, Ferguson was about to frighten out, and immediately begged: "No, no, no, oh no." ”

Xu Rui smiled and said, "Why not?" It's not too early to see that it's time for us to break through. ”

After speaking, Xu Rui turned around and was about to leave, when Ferguson finally collapsed and said urgently: "Ou Kai, Ou Kai, I agree to cooperate, Ou Kai, I agree to cooperate." ”

"Really?" Xu Rui smiled and said, "But now my conditions have been increased again, not only do you need to provide us with enough weapons and ammunition, but also the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion has to be under my command." ”

"Oh?" Ferguson said helplessly, "But I don't have the power." ”

If it was just weapons and ammunition, Ferguson, as the supreme commander of the British army in Shanghai, still had this power, but if the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion was to accept the command of the Chinese, he would not have this power, because this is called joint operations and requires special authorization from the British diplomatic department.

Xu Rui then asked, "So who has this power?" ”

Ferguson replied: "British Minister to China, Baron Steve! ”

"Baron Steve?" Xu Rui frowned and asked, "Where are the others now?" If it weren't for Shanghai, I was afraid it would be too late, and in four hours, the Japanese army would have to start moving. ”

"He's in Shanghai." Ferguson smiled wryly and said, "And it's in your prisoner of war camp." ”

Xu Rui was a little surprised when he heard this, he really didn't expect that among the hostages captured that night, there was such a big fish hidden, but it didn't matter, it was still too late.

"Take me to him." Xu Rui said, "Immediately, immediately!" ”

With Ferguson's guidance, Baron Steve was quickly found in the midst of the hostages.

Ferguson is a soldier anyway, and he is still tough, but Steve's performance is very unbearable, seeing Ferguson walking straight towards him with the people in the lonely military camp, Steve also said that he was betrayed by Ferguson, first scolded, and then began to cry and beg for mercy: No, don't, please don't kill me.

Steve's performance like this is really a big surprise.

Ferguson, who is also a British citizen, felt a burning sensation in his face.

Fortunately, Xu Rui didn't mean to make fun of him, and took Steve into an unoccupied room, and Xu Rui said to him bluntly: "Minister Steve, you are frightened." ”

Steve said in disbelief: "You, don't kill me?" ”

"No, it won't." Xu Rui smiled and shook his head, "We don't kill people." ”

Steve let out a sigh of relief: "Whew, it scared me to death." ”

Because of the tight time, Xu Rui didn't bother to play with Steve anymore, so he went straight to the showdown.

After Xu Rui explained the reason, Ferguson pulled Steve to the side again, and the two muttered for a long time before Steve was completely relieved, it seemed that this little life was really saved.

Xu Rui said again: "Minister Steve, I won't play any sky-high bargaining games with you, just stack up hole cards with you, our bottom line is that the entire western area of the concession is under the control of our lone military camp, and you also need to provide us with at least three divisions of supplies for half a year." ”

After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "However, there is no rush in advance, for now, we should only cooperate first, and smash the conspiracy of Little Japan first, I have already told Brigadier General Ferguson just now, we not only need weapons and ammunition, but also need the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion to work together." ”

With his life assured, Steve immediately stepped into the role of a diplomat.

"No, no, let's not talk about that." Steve shook his hand and said, "The British Empire can not be blamed for your reckless behavior of offending the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion and innocent British citizens, but the killing of more than a dozen British Chinese soldiers in the detention center must be handed over to the Public Concession Police Department, and the innocent citizens of Western countries and the officers and soldiers of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion who have been unreasonably detained by you must be released immediately." ”

Steve still wants to take the lead and overwhelm his opponent first in terms of momentum.

After a pause, Steve continued: "Only by first releasing all the Western citizens and the officers and soldiers of the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion who have been unjustly detained by you can we talk about the next issue of cooperation." ”

Xu Rui was happy, first released the hostages and all the officers and soldiers of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, and then talked about cooperation? Are you stupid to be a fucking old man? If all the hostages and the Gurkha royal infantry battalion are released, there is still talk of cooperation? It's good if you don't join forces with the devils to fight us.

As a diplomat, Steve also has a strong ability to read faces.

From the expression on Xu Rui's face, Steve immediately guessed what he was thinking, and immediately relieved and said: "Don't worry, our British Empire is a civilized country that abides by the spirit of the contract, so you don't have to worry about us going back on our word, our British Empire will definitely keep its promises." ”

Xu Rui didn't bother to tell Steve, he only turned his gaze to Ferguson,

Ferguson's cheek twitched sharply, Steve is a diplomat, he just wants to solve problems through diplomatic means, and he also believes that his three-inch incorruptible tongue can be invincible, but Ferguson is a soldier, he advocates solving problems by force, and Xu Rui is also a soldier.

From Xu Rui's cold eyes, Ferguson could already see the impatience.

Ferguson was really afraid that Xu Rui would leave, so he pulled Steve aside at the moment, blushing and arguing thickly, and after the two quarreled for a long time, Steve came back and said: "The Japanese dare to calculate the innocent citizens of the British Empire and the warriors of His Majesty the King, it is simply unforgivable, then let's solve the Japanese first and then talk about anything else." ”

Xu Rui smiled and said, "What's the matter, Minister Steve finally figured it out?" ”

Steve, however, didn't blush and said, "It's called seeking common ground while reserving differences." ”

Xu Rui picked up the phone on the table and said with a smile: "Then let's call." ”

Steve took the phone, shook the handle twice, and said in English, "Give me the Concession Ministry of Works." ”

After a while, the phone was connected, and a pleasant female voice immediately came from the other end: "Hello, this is the office of the general director of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, I am Kinny Jenner, who are you looking for?" ”

Steve said, "I'm Steve, you asked Jonathan to answer the phone." ”

There was a low exclamation on the other end of the line, and the call was transferred again.

After a while, Jonathan's voice came from the phone: "Lord Steve, I'm glad to hear your voice again, have you escaped from the clutches of the lone barracks?" ”

Hearing it, Jonathan still has some lingering palpitations.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough to get into the sewers ahead of time, he would have been a prisoner of the lone camp, but he almost drowned in the sewers because he was so fat that he almost blocked the entire sewer, and then the sewage accumulated and formed a pool.

Steve didn't bother to explain, and directly ordered: "Jonathan, you immediately transfer a batch of arms from the police department, oh no, you immediately send all the spare guns and ammunition from the police department to the Italian military camp, listen, I mean all, all the spare guns and all the ammunition, do you understand?" ”

"Yesu!" Jonathan instinctively puffed up his chest and stomped his feet again.

Then after hanging up, Jonathan was confused again, what was going on? Isn't the Italian military camp now a lone camp's lair? Minister Steve actually asked him to send all the spare guns and all the ammunition of the police department to the Italian barracks, is this to be given to the lone barracks, or to make a deal?

It's just that, despite the confusion in his heart, Jonathan still did what Steve said, knowing that Steve was not only from a family, but also very famous, and there was news that he was likely to enter the cabinet and become the youngest foreign minister in the history of the British Empire, such an upstart Jonathan could not afford to offend.
