The arrest of Mr. Sun did not go smoothly, just as the organization of the revolutionary party was full of loopholes, and the organization of the Qing government was completely muddy. In business, he was even more unskilled, and after receiving the order, the governor of the governor's palace immediately set off to arrest Sun Wen. However, Mr. Sun moved after the uprising entered the planning stage, and the superintendent naturally fell into the air, and their actions were not concealed in the slightest, so that the people of the Xingzhong Society naturally knew that something was wrong.

"Mr. Sun, just now the Tartars went to your original residence to arrest people, it seems that the plan of the uprising has been exposed, what should I do?" Chen Shaobai, one of Mr. Sun's right-hand men, said to Mr. Sun.

"I really didn't expect that Chen Guang's predecessor was right, and there was really a traitor among us. I just don't know how many things that traitor said. Mr. Sun said hatefully.

"No matter how much is exposed, we have to make a decision now. Obviously, we can't wait for Li Chongguang and their team anymore. Whether it is an immediate uprising or an immediate retreat, we must make a decision immediately. Lu Haodong said.

"Now that the plan has been exposed, the Manchus must have been prepared, and at this time, the uprising is mostly hitting the muzzle of the gun. I think that the uprising at this time is to send our people to death in vain. I think it's time to arrange for everyone to retreat quickly. Chen Shaobai thought for a moment and said so.

"But now that the Manchus know the plan, they will definitely block the land and water docks, and it is not so easy to bring so many people out of Guangzhou safely." Mr. Sun thought about it and said so.

"That's true, it's a big problem." Lu Haodong also sighed, stood up at the same time, walked around the room a few times, and finally stood up suddenly, as if he had made up his mind.

"Brother Sun, Brother Chen, I think this is the way to do." Lu Haodong said, "Let's find some real brave and loyal people who dare to die, and we will be ready tonight, and tomorrow at dawn we will launch an attack on the Liangguang Governor's Palace. Even if it fails, the attention of the Manchus will be drawn to protecting the official office, so that they can cover the retreat of their comrades. ”

After Lu Haodong finished talking about this plan, everyone fell silent. Obviously, compared to the recklessness of the direct uprising and the lack of strategy of direct retreat, this plan is obviously better, but in this plan, the part of the people who participated in the attack on the Liangguang Governor's Mansion basically has no chance of survival, and this plan is completely to exchange their sacrifices for more people to be able to retreat. So how many people are willing to participate in such a mortal operation, and such an operation also needs a determined and resolute person to command, and who should be entrusted with this mortal responsibility?

"Since I proposed this plan, I will lead the team in this operation." Lu Haodong said.

"Haodong!" Mr. Sun stood up, but he couldn't say anything superfluous, just pressed his shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Well, we don't have any more time. Mr. Sun, Wen Shao (Chen Shaobai's character), we are going to start preparing for this operation immediately. Wen Shao, you go and contact the Hong Kong side, Mr. Sun, we will immediately contact the comrades who have arrived, arrange the retreat, and select the daredevils. ”

……

Two hours later, Chen Shaobai returned to the temporary headquarters, and the three of them began to exchange preparations.

"Mr. Sun, Brother Lu, how are you preparing?" Chen Shaobai asked first.

"Most of the ruling comrades have been informed of the matter." Lu Haodong said, "In addition, the relevant materials have also been basically destroyed. ”

"What happened to the death squads?" Chen Shaobai asked again.

"There are not many people, and those who are willing to join the death squad add that I only have twenty people." Lu Haodong said, but he immediately realized that this tone was a little too depressed, so he smiled and said, "But they are all good men who can live and die!" By the way, Shaobai, how do you connect with Hong Kong? ”

"A telegram has been sent to Hong Kong. In addition, there is good news for everyone. After Chen Guang's predecessor learned of the incident, he immediately sent us a telegram through the internal telegram of the American Foreign Bank. It is said that if there are people who have difficulty retreating, they can take refuge in the U.S. consulate first. It's just that the number of people can't exceed five. ”

"That's good news." Mr. Sun immediately said, "We can get some people who have been exposed, such as me, to deliberately show up in other places to attract the attention of the Manchus and cover the evacuation of other comrades, and these comrades will eventually hide directly in the American consulate." However, the U.S. Consulate actually gave Chen Guang's predecessor face like this, which is really unexpected. ”

Of course, the willingness of the US Consulate in Guangzhou to do such a thing is by no means because Chen Guang has a big face, but because of the face of the MacDonald consortium. In fact, the United States has a tradition that many of its diplomats abroad, especially ambassadors and consuls, are direct spokesmen for big conglomerates. In many cases, when the president takes money from the big business group during the election, he often gives some key positions directly to the big business people. In addition to the positions of ministers and deputy ministers in the government, diplomatic envoys are also particularly popular positions for people in large conglomerates. First, there are many things involved in business dealings in such a position, and there are many opportunities for fake public and private interests. Second, this position is complicated but inconspicuous, and most of the time the American people do not notice it, and the big business groups have always believed in the idea of making a lot of money in silence, and they always like to hide themselves behind the scenes. Such a position is just right for people who can exercise themselves. In addition, except for a limited number of ambassadors and consuls who have been sent to some important countries, diplomats sent to other countries will not be able to make any big mess no matter what they do. Generally speaking, for weak countries, "diplomacy is no small matter", but for strong countries, it can be said the other way around, it is called "diplomacy is no big matter". In any case, the relationship between the major powers is close to each other, and it is interests that play a decisive role, and diplomats cannot change the basic pattern of interests, so there is nothing important about natural diplomacy. Anyway, even if a diplomat gets mad and says some nonsense like a convulsion, generally speaking, it won't really cause any big trouble, at most everyone will pretend not to hear. It's like the ambassador of the Bald Eagle in the Red Rabbit Country in the later generations with Mo. Li. The ambassador of the Red Rabbit Country took advantage of the fact that the Texas National Guard was suspecting that the federal army was going to "invade" Texas and began to closely monitor the federal agencies. As for photographing ambassadors and consuls of ordinary countries, there will be no chaos. At that time, China was really a so-called "ordinary country". Because compared with other consortia, the McDonald Consortium has the earliest layout in China and the largest investment, so the US minister and consul in China are traditionally served by members of the McDonald Consortium.

"Mr. Sun, I'm afraid this is not feasible. Senior Chen made it clear that people who enter the U.S. consulate should not bring too much trouble to the United States. If these people show up everywhere to attract attention, then entering the U.S. Consulate will cause problems for the consulate. It would be detrimental to the good intentions of our American friends. But it's always good to have this retreat. Mr. Sun, Mr. Chen also said that he also asked a friend to rent a small western-style building next to the American Consulate, and it was better for Mr. to move somewhere first. In this way, the gentleman can organize a retreat with peace of mind, and in case of trouble, he can quickly retreat to the consulate. ”

"Comrades are all taking risks, how can I?" Mr. Sun was still a little hesitant.

"Mr. Sun, there is no death, there is no way to wake up the world; There is no future without the living. The ancients: There will be a promise. Sir, don't hesitate. Mr. Lu Haodong said, "Cheng Ying's pestle, which is easier and which is more difficult?" A person who chooses his own way, and entrusts the difficult things to Mr., Mr. is the rise and fall of the world, and he should take care of himself. ”

"Yes, in today's world, there is no Chen Shaobai, there is no Brother Lu, but there is no Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun is never allowed to do anything dangerous. Chen Shaobai also persuaded him.

"Well, since you say so, I'll ...... first," Mr. Sun sighed again.

……

"It's dry, watch out for the candles." At this time, it was close to the fourth watch, and the sound of the watchman came from the street outside, and because there were no street lights, the night in Guangzhou was dark. Only the moonlight shines down, and people can faintly see that there is a road on the ground.

The shops on the street have long been on the front doors, but some of the shops that do breakfast are already lit up, and people are already busy.

Not everyone in the pù shop with the lights on is busy with tomorrow's business. In a teahouse called "Wang Jianghe", a group of people are busy with other things.

"Everybody check the guy in your hand again, the gun should be wiped clean, the grenade or something should be remembered, and the fire ring must be pulled off before throwing it, eh, it's not for you to pull it now!"

"Mr. Lu, don't worry, I'm just looking at it, I won't really pull it. Although I am not afraid of death, I also don't want to die so stupid. The man who had just made the gesture of pulling the ring of fire smiled, and gently hung the grenade on the coat belt, and then seriously fiddled with the submachine gun in front of him, which looked like several tubes welded together.

"Mr. Lu, it's such a broken thing, it's so expensive?"

"It's ugly, but it's easy to use. You've seen it before. Lu Haodong said, "But there is one thing you remember. The insurance of this gun is not very good, and it is easy to misfire. Do not usually pull the bolt up, and do not load the magazine...... Forget it, you still say what you usually do, and you'll start fighting later, but be careful not to point the barrel of the gun at your own people, maybe this thing will go off. ”

Speaking of which, Mr. Lu looked at the time, and it was almost dawn. At this time, there were some voices in the streets.

"Alright, it's time. We're leaving. Lu Haodong said. R1058
