'Smack! It was the sound of a warning gun, followed by the English phrase, "STOP!" ”

Henry Smith, the assistant to the police commissioner of the Ministry of Works, who came on a small raft from the other side, came on board with a dozen patrols, and he also had the identity of an agent of the Shanghai station of the MI6, and the London headquarters ordered him to protect the three Chinese guests, and he had to do so when he saw that the Japanese were going to kill people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a British merchant ship. Smith didn't know what was going on, but he knew it was a British merchant ship, and that Japanese soldiers could inspect the cargo and passengers who were going to disembark, but they would never be allowed to kill people here.

Smith came up, and the reporters who were stopped by the Japanese also climbed up the rope ladder, their magnesium lights flashing, and their cameras recorded the Japanese soldier Cao Cao who was about to slash with a bloody saber held high, Chen Zaihe who was standing, Liu Yongren who grabbed his broken arm and twisted his face, and Li Kongrong who was lying on a stretcher.

The sound of warning shots made the Japanese soldiers raise their guns, but Smith put down his guns after firing, and when he saw the patrol coming forward to take pictures with reporters, the angry military Cao roared wildly, and the raised knife no longer slashed but stabbed forward. Chen Zaihe hurriedly gave way and narrowly avoided a knife.

“STOP！ STOP！ Smith walked up quickly, and the patrol behind him blocked Liu Yongren and Chen Zaihe at his side. Please note that this is a British merchant ship, and you have no right to kill people here. ”

More than a dozen patrols were captured against four Japanese soldiers. After the instruction, the interpreter said in English: "They are Chinese, and if they want to enter the concession, they must bow to the Japanese Imperial Army, and if they do not bow, the Imperial Army will teach them a lesson." ”

"That's the Chinese who entered the concession from the north of Hongkou Zhabei, and the Huangpu River is a public water, and you have no right to ask them to bow to anyone on British merchant ships." Smith has seen a lot of bows to the Japanese, but that happened at the sentry post in the rental world. "If the Chinese on the ship are going to bow, are all the foreigners on the merchant ship going to bow too? This is impossible, this is the British merchant navy, the lawful territory of Britain, and you have no right to do so. ”

When the Japanese could not explain the reason, Smith immediately said to the reporter behind him: "Gentlemen, you are witnessing a barbaric infringement incident, and I hope you will report on this incident fairly, which concerns the reputation of Great Britain and the safety of the expatriates in the Far East......

Smith took the patrol and reporters to block the Japanese, and he himself made grand speeches to attract the attention of the Japanese, but his men quietly sent the stretcher, Liu Yongren, and Chen Zaihe off the boat and got on the raft he came. The Japanese were naturally short, and they couldn't see the outside when they confronted the patrol, and it was only when the small raft crossed the center of the river that Jun Cao found that the two people had run away just now under the guidance of other Japanese soldiers, and he suddenly shouted in anger. Just as the Manchurians judge the obedient people and the anti-thieves by whether they shave their hair and keep braids, the Japanese army has always distinguished the good people from the Diao people by whether they bow or not, and these two people who refuse to bow are either Diao Min or Chongqing military elements, and he will not let them go.

A series of babbling Japanese blurted out, and the 38-style rifle was snatched by him, and under the obstruction of other Japanese soldiers, there was a 'bang', and the smoke of gunpowder rose up, and Liu Yongren, who was looking at the statue of peace, suddenly shook his body, and immediately fell on the stretcher. Chen Zaihe didn't know what was going on for a while, until the second gunshot rang out and the bullets flew past his eyes, and he saw that it was the Japanese soldier Cao on the deck who was shooting at him, and he immediately lay down on the stretcher, and Liu Yongren had already lost his breath at this time.

With a war going on in Europe and the Concession besieged by Japanese troops, Smith was helpless against the arrogant Japanese in front of him, and he saw one of his guests knocked down by bullets, hoping that the other two would be safe. When the Japanese soldier Cao hit him, he saw that the other person had already ambushed, and had to give up sniping. He put away his gun casually, and pushed away a group of patrols and reporters as if nothing had happened, and left proudly.

"God! It's a brutal bestiality. Captain Blonch sighed after the Japanese left, and he could probably guess the true identities of the three men just now. Looking at the raft that had already docked, he said sincerely: "May God bless you." Amen. ”

"They'll be fine." Smith also looked at the raft on the dock, where he had arranged for an ambulance to take them to the hospital.

"Sir, we will rush to Renji Hospital." Both Li Kongrong and Liu Yongren were carried into the ambulance, and looking at the tearful Chinese gentleman, the Indian patrol did not tell him that Liu Yongren was dead, but just patted him on the shoulder and asked him to get into the car.

"Put away the tears of the girls, the navy doesn't need tears, what the navy needs is blood." Chen Zaihe, who recalled these words, quickly wiped away his tears and got into the car, he clenched his pistol and sat between Li Kongrong and Liu Yongren, they all need his protection once they die.

"Miss Hisako, can you tell me the whole story?" Outside the isolated island, in the Plum Blossom Hall of Yongle Fang, Hongkou, North Sichuan Road, sixteen women who disembarked from the Shandong were brought here. They were personally interrogated by Haruki Keiyin Daisa, in order to get more information about the submarine in China, after all, they had been in the submarine for eighteen hours.

"Your Excellency, I think I've said it all." Xie Jiuzi was a little uneasy, she didn't take much money from the navy, only half of her belongings were lost, and now these green bills were spread out on the table, stinging her eyes.

"But someone said that you once treated the submarine officer in China." Qingqi Qingyin said unhappily, if it was an ordinary person, he would not be angry, but Xie Jiuzi's mother is Japanese, and she should not treat the enemies of the Great Japanese Empire.

"Your Excellency, I... I said this for a child, I was just a student, and I didn't have the ability to heal. Xie Jiuzi's face suddenly turned red, "I didn't treat his injuries either." ”

"No?" Qingqi Qingyin said uneasily. "You were away from everyone for more than two hours? What are you doing? ”

"I just, just was taken to the back end of the ship by them." Xie Jiuzi argued, but her justification made Qingqi Qingyin have a misunderstanding, and he became even more angry: "They insulted you?!" ”

"Nope. No. Xie Jiuzi looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he would ask that. He only asked me about my situation in Taiwan and Manchuria, as well as my relatives at home, and he said that I should be his sister, and he also said that the honor of the navy should not be tarnished......"

"You believe it?" Feeling that Xie Jiuzi didn't lie to his Qingqi Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief, he also regarded Xie Jiuzi as his compatriot and sister, and if the people of Chi Na insulted her, he would be very angry.

"I ...... I didn't. Xie Jiuzi said no, but her eyes revealed the truth, perhaps because of Stockholm syndrome, she did believe that the officers on the boat regarded her as her sister.

"The Shina people are filthy and cunning, they have killed countless imperial soldiers and subjects, you should not sympathize with them." The interrogation suddenly turned into a political class, and Qingqi Qingyin did not allow Xie Jiuzi to be so close to the people of China. "If you sympathize with them, you are betraying the Empire."

"Hey!" Xie Jiuzi had to agree, as if facing his own teacher.

"How is the injury of the officer in China?" Qingqi Qingyin began to interrogate again, and he urgently needed the situation of U-38.

"It's hard to judge." Xie Jiuzi said, "But ......"

"But what?" Qingqi Qingyin asked.

"But his injuries could well have died if they had been delayed." Xie Jiuzi said. "They asked us to pray for him when we got off the ship, and the ship should go south to Hong Kong at full speed for treatment, and they wanted to intercept a fishing boat and send me to the Shanghai Concession Hospital in the guise of his wife for treatment, so that the survivors of the cruise ship would be sent to Hong Kong, but they gave up because they were worried that they would not have a certificate of good citizenship."

"The wounded officer was still on board when you disembarked?" Qingqi Qingyin was still speculating just now that the officer of Shina might be sent to Shanghai for treatment, and he didn't want Xie Jiuzi to deny this. As reasonable as it sounds, they are very new to Shanghai and dangerous.

"Yes, still on board." Xie Jiuzi nodded. "The ship's medic told me that they had a special medicine called penicillin, so they were not worried about wound infection. They also ...... Also gave me some. ”

"Got some for you?" Looking at Xie Jiuzi in disbelief, Qingqi Qingyin really suspected that she had been insulted by the Shina Navy, and penicillin on the black market was sold for as much as fifty to one hundred dollars.

"There are only two doses, and the military doctor secretly gave them to me." Xie Jiuzi took out two specially packaged doses of penicillin from his arms, "I once said that my father opened a hospital in Manchuria, and he gave it to me without telling others. Your Excellency, they are so kind to me because I speak Hokkien and not for any other reason. They said that the navy was all Fujianese, so I was their sister. ”

As if there was some understanding, Qingqi Qingyin nodded. "How likely do you think that officer is cured?"

"If shrapnel is inserted into the skull, there is no chance of a cure; If it's just a skull fracture, there are some curative possibilities. Xie Jiuzi faithfully spoke her judgment, and she finally emphasized: "Your Excellency, I am only a student, and there are no equipment on the ship, so I have no way to judge his injuries. ”

"Okay." Qingqi Qingyin returned the dollars and penicillin on the table to her, and said, "I will arrange for you to return to Manchuria, and you must report anything to me immediately if you think of it during this period." ”

"I ......" Xie Jiuzi didn't dare to take penicillin, she bowed and said, "They will be dedicated to the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire." ”

"Yo Xi." Xie Jiuzi's performance made Qingqi Qingyin feel very pleased, which showed that her heart was still towards Great Japan and had not been bought by the Shina people. "On behalf of the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, thank you." He also bowed slightly.

"Who is the patient's representative?" Renji Hospital, No. 145 Shandong Road, Public Concession. Surgeon Robert Wilson found Chan and Henry Smith, who accompanied Chan, after looking at the X-rays. Because the patient was Chinese and Smith was wearing a patrol suit, Wilson was a little unclear who the patient's family was.

"It's me, doctor." Mr. Chen spoke English, much to Wilson's surprise.

"All right, kid." Wilson flicked the X-ray, "It was better than I expected, the steel plates weren't inserted into the skull, there were no fractures, they were just stuck in the cheekbones, his bones were so hard." However, the shrapnel is inserted very deeply, and it must be very painful. The doctor smiled when he said this, Li Kongrong woke up once just now, and in pain he thought it was like pulling out a steel piece on his face, but he was stopped, and now he is tied to the operating table.

"Then please have surgery right away." The chief's pain can be felt by Chen Zaihe, and he even hopes to be injured on his behalf.

"Of course, the surgery is already being scheduled, and I just wanted to tell you the good news." Wilson Road. "Another concern I am about infection is that although the wound has been treated in time, the steel plate has not ......"

"We have penicillin." Chen Zaihe took out the penicillin in his arms again, and there were as many as ten sticks. "Is it enough?"

"Oh my God!" Penicillin is a miracle drug that was just launched by a Swiss company last year, and it is said that the belligerents in Europe had a very unpleasant quarrel over the allocation of their share of production. It is true that a small amount of medicine is on the black market, but the amount is very small. "Kid, that's enough. Can I know where it came from? ”

"I don't know." Chen Zaihe only knew that the navy had enough penicillin, but he didn't know that the navy made it itself.

"Okay." Wilson took two doses of penicillin from Chen Zaihe's hand, and then looked at Smith again: "Sir, I think he will recover immediately after the operation, but, because the wound is deep, it is inevitable that there will be scars, and I will try my best to repair it." Wilson said as the physician assistant outside came in to inform him that the operation was ready, and he shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"Kid, you should tell me about the Japanese." Walking to the door of the operating room with Chan, Smith was worried that what was happening on the ship would alert the Japanese.

"I'm not a child, sir. You should call me Lieutenant Chen Zaihe. "The doctor called him a child, Chen Zaihe couldn't explain it, but Smith was different, he revealed his true identity when he arrived at the hospital.

"All right, Lieutenant. Tell us about the Japanese? Smith smiled, he liked the Chinese in front of him. Not slippery, strong, proud, and a veritable naval officer. "Maybe they'll send some Chinese killers right away. The concession was not safe, and the hitmen of Chongqing and the Japanese attacked here from time to time. ”

"No one saw us on board, except the captain and sailors of the Shantung. The women were the ones we climbed onto the deck of the submarine after we got on board. Chen Zaihe said: "What happened just now ......, we don't want to be insulted by the Japanese." If they want to kill someone, it's me. Mr. Smith, if I die, please take care of my sir, and never let him fall into the hands of the Japanese. ”

"Of course, that's my job." Smith smiled, "Since his injuries aren't serious, I think you should get out of here after the surgery and leave tonight." I'll arrange the boat. ”
