Tao Yong felt warm and inspired in the face of the rustic atmosphere and strong Chinese elements exuded by Chinatown. The discomfort of a foreign land and a hint of nostalgia seemed to fade, Tao Yong entered the street with a refreshed expression, and walked through the streets to identify the ones he was going to. "This gentleman, look around you, are you here to find someone?" Suddenly, a lark-like voice sounded in his ears. Tao Yong turned his head and found a bright girl, dressed in student attire, about eighteen or nineteen years old, standing in front of him with a smile.

"Sir, you're from the mainland, do you need my help?" The girl is outspoken, and the overseas Chinese women living in the United States, because of the influence of American culture, are more cheerful and generous than domestic women, and they are not shy in the face of the living. Tao Yong felt that the girl was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. But he quickly denied this ridiculous idea and said: "Miss, I'm from the mainland, do you know where Kangsheng Pharmacy is located and how to go?" "I want to go to Kangsheng Pharmacy, I don't know who Mr. is looking for?" The girl's eyes widened in surprise.

"I'm looking for Mr. Mei Yixuan, please show me the way!" The girl laughed and said, "Sir, your luck is so good, Mei Yixuan is my father, please come with me!" "What a coincidence, I actually got home when I asked for directions. Tao Yong suddenly realized, no wonder the girl was a little familiar, it turned out that she was Mei Fang's sister. "Miss, if I guessed correctly, your name is Mei Ting." "How do you know my name?" The girl looked surprised.

"Not only do I know your name, but I also know that you went to New York Medical University and that you were admitted to college this summer." "Could it be that you were sent by the eldest sister?" "Your brother-in-law sent it to be exact!" "You're my brother-in-law's man, tell me what my brother-in-law looks like. I heard that he is the Chinese god of war, just like the Greek Ares! "Who is Ares? How I haven't heard of it! "Claiming to be General Ouyang's subordinate, he doesn't even know about Ares."

Tao Yong was still confused, "Ares is an invincible warrior in Greek mythology, a wise general. We all compare our brother-in-law to the god of war, he is China's Ares! Mei Ting's eyes showed admiration and yearning. Tao Yong shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, not knowing what to say. "What do you do, what's your name?" Mei Ting suddenly remembered something. "My name is Tao Yong, and I am an anti-Japanese fighter."

"My brother-in-law is an anti-Japanese general, you are naturally an anti-Japanese fighter, I am asking you what you do specifically?" "Miss Mei, I can't tell you, please forgive me!" "Are you looking down on me, Miss Ben wants to learn from the eldest sister and go to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War!" After Mei Ting finished speaking, she puffed up her chest and accelerated her pace. Soon, Mei Ting stopped in front of a Chinese-style building, "Mr. Tao, this is my home, please!" ”

Tao Yong paused, and saw that the three gilded characters of "Kangsheng Pharmacy" were very eye-catching, and the area of the pharmacy was about 300 square meters through the door curtain. Tao Yong didn't know that Kangsheng Pharmacy was opened by Mei Fang to his father 5 years ago according to Ouyang Jian's plan, and Mei Yixuan opened it with the secret funding of Herman. When Mei Yixuan came to the United States, he inherited his father's industry, a printing house. Due to the poor efficiency of the printing plant, it has been operating dismally.

Since Mei Yixuan opened Kangsheng Pharmacy to sell Western medicine, the business has been prosperous. In particular, he has access to drugs at a pharmaceutical company in New York, especially penicillin, at a low price. But Mei Yixuan only knew that the foreigner who secretly helped him was a friend of his eldest son-in-law, and he didn't know who this foreigner was or what he did. Later, Ouyang Jian asked Dark Arrow to find Mei Yixuan, saying that the Chinese government was implementing a training program to secretly help international students and personnel in the United States.

asked Mei Yixuan to be responsible for the logistics and supply of international students and training personnel in the United States, and to put it bluntly, he was responsible for the living and training expenses of these personnel. It is incumbent upon Mei Yixuan to serve the motherland, especially at a time of national crisis.

"Daddy! Daddy! Guests are coming! Mei Ting flew in like a bird to report the news. The front of the pharmacy is a shop, and the back is a residence. Shortly after entering the living room and taking their seats, a couple in their 50s walked in.

The man is of medium stature, wearing Chinese-style clothes, with slightly gray hair on his sideburns and a pair of bright eyes. The woman was slightly fatter, but her skin was fair, and she was wearing a black cheongsam, which looked graceful and luxurious. Seeing that the master had come in, Tao Yong hurriedly stood up. "Dad, mother, this gentleman's name is Tao Yong, and he was sent by my sister and brother-in-law to visit you." "Mr. and Mrs. Mei, the younger generation is reasonable!" After all, Mei Yixuan has rich experience and said smartly: "Mr. Tao, my daughter and son-in-law have special identities, how can you make me believe you?" ”

"Mr. Mei is very vigilant, there is a jade pendant here that can prove my identity!" After Tao Yong finished speaking, he took an amber jade pendant from his neck and handed it over. Mrs. Mei's eyes lit up and hurriedly took the jade pendant to check it, and she was obviously emotionally excited: "Master, there is nothing wrong with this jade pendant belonging to Fang'er, I personally handed it to Fang'er before she went to China, in order to bless her safety." This jade pendant was passed on to me by her grandmother, and there can be no mistake. Mr. Tao, we believe you, tell us about their situation. ”

Mrs. May was very emotional, and her feelings of missing her daughter were exposed. "Look at what you're anxious about, don't mind Mr. Tao, serve tea to the guests quickly." "Mr. Mei, I understand Madame's feelings. I used to be General Ouyang's bodyguard ・・・・・・. Tao Yong briefly introduced the situation of Ouyang Jian and his wife, and continued: "Mr. Mei, Mrs. Mei, General Ouyang specially asked me to convey to you and express my deep respect for your support!" "I am a descendant of Yan and Huang, and it is my bounden duty to contribute to the War of Resistance, and my son-in-law treats me as an outsider!"

Mei Yixuan has a son and two daughters, Mei Fang is the eldest daughter, the second son, and Mei Ting is the youngest daughter. At present, his son Mei Feng inherits his father's business and takes care of the family's property. Since Mei Yixuan was responsible for the management of the funds of the "training" personnel in the United States, he has devoted himself to this work, and the family's business has basically been handed over to his son. At noon, Mei Yixuan set up a banquet for Tao Yong to catch the wind and wash the dust. During the dinner, Tao Yong once again talked about the anecdote of Ouyang Jian and his wife, from how they met to get married, and said in great detail.

"Father, mother, after graduation, I will return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War like my eldest sister." "You can't go back, in case there are three long and two short, how can I live?" Mrs. May was adamantly opposed. "Daddy!" Mei Ting is coquettish. "Madam, the child's wings are stiff, can you and I stop it? Since Ting'er has this ambition, let her go! Mrs. Mei sighed when she heard this and said, "It's okay for you to go back to China, but you must listen to my sister's arrangement!" In fact, Mrs. Mei wanted to listen to her brother-in-law's arrangement, and Tao Yong, the voice of Xuanwai, understood its meaning.

After the meal, everyone else dispersed, only Mei Ting sat in the living room and didn't leave. Tao Yong wanted to talk to Mei Yixuan about private matters, but it was difficult to speak in front of Mei Ting. "Ting'er, you won't go to school in the afternoon!" "It's a self-study class in the afternoon, so I'm not going! I want to listen to Mr. Tao talk about domestic affairs! "Nonsense, go with your mother, we want to talk about important things?" "Dad, what's the secret I can't hear?" Seeing her father's majestic expression, Mei Ting turned around and left angrily.

"Mr. Tao, don't mind if the little girl is not sensible!" "It's so cute!" "Mr. Tao, I know that you didn't come to the United States to see us, just say what you need me to do." Tao Yong said with a serious expression: "Mr. Mei, before I came, General Ouyang specially explained that there are some things I want you to know. I am now the supreme commander of the Overseas Fleet of the Eighth Route Army, and I came to the United States to receive warships. I won't go into the details, but I have another assignment. ”

Mei Yixuan realized that it was related to herself: "What do you need me to do?" "According to the inside information we have received, a war will soon break out between the United States and Japan!" "Little Japan is going to attack the United States?" "It is impossible for the Japanese army to attack the United States, and the conditions are not met. The war between the United States and Japan was at sea, and Mr. May can rest assured of this. In the event of a war between the United States and Japan, it will be difficult for the personnel we have "trained" in the United States to return home smoothly, and my task is to bring them back safely. ”

"Mr. Tao, I understand what you mean, but I am only responsible for the lives of these people and providing funds, and your people are responsible for the specific situation, and the person in charge is called Wang Kai." "Can you contact this person?" "Yes, this person is in New York!" "Inform this person immediately, I want to see him." That night, Wang Kai, who was about 40 years old and was currently working at the headquarters of overseas Chinese in the United States, arrived in the dust. "Comrade Tao Yong, my name is Wang Kai, I am the head of the Eastern Branch of the United States, and you are welcome to guide the work."

"Comrade Wang Kai, I am the supreme commander of the overseas fleet of the Eighth Route Army, and I am inconvenient to tell you the specific situation. According to the instructions of the headquarters, I took over the work of training personnel in the United States. In order to safely bring these people back to their home countries, the headquarters implemented this plan. Tell us about these people. Wang Kai took out a small notebook and said: "At present, we have a total of 302 training personnel, some of whom are public students from the national government. ”

"After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, these students on public assignment lost their source of livelihood, and the Nationalist Government could no longer provide funds to provide them with. We took them over properly according to the instructions of the headquarters. After completing their studies, some of them are purposefully allowed to enter scientific research and factories in the United States according to the plan to engage in high-end jobs. There are some self-financed international students who have been recruited by us, and this is the case. The details of these people are in this book, and now I will hand them over to you. ”。
