Liu Yimin's remarks made Roched and the British ambassador look incredulous, but they had nothing to refute, so they could only shrug their shoulders.

When it comes to the issue of German banks, Liu Yimin said more simply: German fascists, like Japanese fascists, are public enemies of the world, and confiscating the assets of German banks is equivalent to eliminating German devils. All righteous forces should support the Eighth Route Army in doing so.

Looking at the unconvinced and helpless posture of Rohead and the British ambassador, Song Meiling suddenly thought that if this Liu Yimin was doing diplomacy, he might be a geek in the diplomatic world. Maybe in the face of Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Hitler, and others, he will also have surprising actions.

Before Song Meiling's thoughts could be retracted, Liu Yimin turned to the French Consul General in Shanghai.

Liu Yimin was even more unkind to the French consul general, directly telling him that the government recognized by the Chinese was the government of resistance organized by General de Gaulle, not the puppet government of the German devils, the Vichy government. Originally, the Eighth Route Army was supposed to seize and confiscate all the French banks and French enterprises in the French Concession, because the French Concession obeyed the orders of the government. This is a traitorous puppet government through and through, just like Wang Jingwei's traitorous government. However, considering that it was General de Gaulle and the resistance government he led that could really represent France, and for the sake of General de Gaulle's feelings for the heroic resistance forces, the Eighth Route Army did not dispose of the French assets in the French Concession. As for the French consul's statement that the Eighth Route Army was arresting Japanese expatriates and Wang puppet agents in the French Concession, Liu Yimin said more simply, don't say that they are hiding in the French Concession, that is, they went to France, and Lao Tzu still wants to arrest them back for trial!

Seeing that Liu Yimin was boastful and stern, Rohed was angry and threatened that if Liu Yimin's troops restrained the Eighth Route Army and ensured that the rights and interests of the concession would not be violated. He will report to the U.S. State Department that the U.S. troops in the concession will be dispatched to expel the Eighth Route Army, and even disarm the Eighth Route Army that has entered the public concession.

Liu Yimin's eyes became hot all of a sudden, and Rohed was a little ashamed of how he could say such a stupid thing.

I heard Liu Yimin say: "Dear Mr. Roched, I would like to state first of all that China and the United States are friendly countries, that the Chinese and American armies are friendly armies and comrades-in-arms who jointly oppose Japanese aggression, and that there should not and cannot be a conflict between the Eighth Route Army and the US military. Second, I would like to remind you. Don't mix personal feelings with diplomatic relations, you represent the United States of America, not yourself. Please be careful. Third, you didn't go all out to use the U.S. troops in the concession against the Eighth Route Army, and if you really report to the U.S. Department of State, trust me. You will be reprimanded and even removed from your position. Fourth, if you insist on going your own way and using the US military against the Eighth Route Army behind the back of the US State Department, I will escort you to the US Embassy in Chongqing after disarming the US troops, and ask Ambassador Goth to deal with it. Dear Mr. Roched, come, hug, don't get so excited (). My friend, the little devil is our enemy, we are friends and comrades-in-arms. ”

After speaking, Liu Yimin really stepped forward and gave Rohead a hug.

After hugging, Liu Yimin said seriously: "Mr. Roched, I originally promised to invite Mrs. Jiang to a French dinner. Now I have changed my mind and I forgive you for saying the wrong thing. Please arrange a sumptuous lunch for Madame Chiang and me. I'll be sure to notify you when you've decided on a place. I will escort Madame Chiang to attend on time. Remember, there must be Texas steak and turkey! ”

U.S. Consul General in Shanghai Rohed was stunned!

Song Meiling laughed so much that her waist bent down.

Originally, Song Meiling made an appointment to meet with the British, American and French consul generals in Shanghai. Because of their protest, they became Liu Yimin's consul general of the three countries!

This event had a great impact on the future. In a letter to Ambassador Goss, US Consul General in Shanghai Rohed said that Liu Yimin was the youngest, most handsome, most knowledgeable, most eloquent, most concerned about national sovereignty, and most difficult of the Chinese generals he had ever met.

Rohed's letter reads: "Dear Goss: You can't imagine what kind of person I met today, he is Liu Yimin, the god of war in the eyes of the Chinese. When I first met, he stood beside Mrs. Jiang, tall and straight, handsome like the god of war painted in the Chinese New Year paintings. In particular, the pair of black jewel-like eyes, breathtaking, unfathomable, and indescribably clear and pure, as if this was a young gentleman who had just graduated from Oxford University. However, when he spoke, he was like a knife, gushing and indisputable, and his English was beyond imagination. In particular, his rhetoric to justify his actions sounded righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact he was covering up the fact that he had unscrupulously seized funds from Japanese-funded banks, enterprises, and stores. Moreover, he did not seem to have the slightest fear of the great United States of America and the British Empire, in contrast to the situation of other Kuomintang generals who saw the attitude of British and American diplomats immediately improve. I dare to conclude that this person will certainly have a say in China's political and military arena in the future, and no one will be able to stop him. And once he has a say, I am afraid that we and them will have to be treated as equals. ”

At the end of the letter, Rohed said aggrievedly: "Because of my inappropriate words, Liu Yimin blackmailed me to pay for Mrs. Jiang and her party and Liu Yimin's command personnel to have a hearty lunch (). Dear Goss, a whole 120 people, can you imagine how many tender veal steaks and how many turkeys there were? My God! How could I be so unlucky! ”

The letter from the British Consul General to the British ambassador to China, Carr, was different, saying that Liu Yimin was an extremely powerful and decisive figure. Instead of circling around those bureaucrats under Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, it is better to establish contact with **, share intelligence, and cooperate in combat. That might have helped the British Empire win the war.

The most typical is the gang of Dai Li's subordinates, who were originally overwhelmed by No. 76, and suddenly, the Eighth Route Army occupied Shanghai, and took the old nest of the traitor spies on No. 76, and wiped out the Japanese army's plum and kodama organs. As soon as Dai Li came to deploy, and he knew the content of Liu Yimin's conversation with the consul generals of Britain, the United States and France, they suddenly spread their joy, they were familiar with the concession, and now they went all out to attack, and they actually showed their might in the French concession and the public concession, and really dug out some Japanese pseudo-spies hiding in the concession.

All in all, Soong Meiling's meeting with the British, American, and French consul general in Shanghai was successfully resolved, and the convoy of assets transferred by the four major banks and the Eighth Route Army, which was responsible for guarding, drove into the central area of the public concession.

Liu Yimin's morning was tantamount to selling to Song Meiling and her transfer of the assets of the four major banks. However, he never told Song Meiling that Ni Hua's mother and daughter had returned to Shanghai. More is better than less, and he doesn't want to make any more twists and turns.

After a hearty lunch at Roched's, Liu Yimin asked Zhao Xiaoman to accompany Song Meiling back to her mansion in Shanghai, and then returned to the headquarters to prepare for a visit to the Jewish refugee camp. Last night, he had already asked Zhou Yi, chief of staff of the First Column, to take people to work in the Jewish refugee camp, and wanted to recruit a group of Jewish technical personnel from there to work in the base area. Unexpectedly, he hasn't gone out yet, but ** has caused him trouble.

**This time I went south to Shanghai with the army, and there were two tasks, one was to lead the way for the troops, and the other was to set up equipment and recruit film talents for the establishment of Shandong Film Factory, so as to lay the foundation for the development of the film industry in the base area. This matter was originally very simple, there is a commercial house in Shanghai that specializes in selling film equipment, so you can just buy a little and go back. As a result, ** took it upon himself to bring a platoon to find the largest Xinhua Film Company in Shanghai, and wanted to confiscate the equipment of Xinhua Film Company, on the grounds that Xinhua Film Company had a booming business under the rule of the Japanese army, and there must be a background of the Japanese army or Wang pseudo-traitors ().

No, Zhang Shankun, the boss of Xinhua Film Company, came to the gate of China Merchants and shouted injustice again and again, wanting to meet Commander Liu Yimin of the Eighth Route Army.

Things in the world are really uncertain. Before the fall of Shanghai, the Nationalist Government demolished all the factories that should be demolished and moved to the rear, and many people thought that Shanghai's economy was over. Unexpectedly, because the Japanese army did not dare to start a war with Britain and the United States for a while, the concession became a special zone, and a strange scene of an unprecedented concession "a country within a country" appeared in Shanghai. At the end of 1937, a large number of people from the surrounding areas of Shanghai poured into the concession to escape the war, and the population of the concession, which was only 10 square kilometers, swelled to 5 million. Many of these people were landlords and businessmen in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou, and were a group of wealthy refugees. There were deposits in the bank, and a lot of tickets could not be spent, and when they fled into the concession, they were left with only four words: eating, drinking, and having fun. The hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues in the concession area were filled up every day, and there was an unprecedented prosperity. The business of movie theaters also boomed. At that time, no matter what the movie was, the venue was full. There is a film company boss who actually started a business without capital, without investing in making new films, and took out "The Burning of Red Lotus Temple", which received criticism and was suspended for 10 years, and it was released continuously and it was also full.

In this way, an inexplicable wonder in the history of Chinese cinema was born - "isolated island movie".

Originally, after the fall of Shanghai, our party had already mobilized a group of people in the film industry with the background of the Left League to move to Hong Kong for development. After the New Fourth Army broke through the southern Anhui troops, it mobilized a group of filmmakers to Hong Kong. It stands to reason that Shanghai's film industry has suffered a big loss, and it should be at a low ebb. But on the contrary, from the end of 1937 to the present, more than 20 new film companies have been established in Shanghai, and nearly 200 films have been filmed and produced. In particular, Zhang Shankun, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, actually made Xinhua Film Company very big, and filmed a series of better movies in this era, such as "Thunderstorm", "Mulan in the Army", and "Diao Chan".
