Chapter 95: Stubbornness
"The British Embassy?" Shen Zui closed his eyes and thought about it, and shook his head: "I don't know what to do." Haven't been. ”
"Damn!" Qin Wei rolled his eyes: "You are still engaged in intelligence, and you don't even know about this?" ”
"I'm not a jack of all trades." Shen retorted.
"Forget it, I can't have hope for you...... Be sure to check it out later. Qin Wei said.
"Zhilu said......" Shen responded listlessly, stepped on the accelerator, and was about to start the car again. And at this time, Zhou Tian finally couldn't help but cover his mouth:
"Whew-"
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Wei glanced at her, "Isn't it funny?" ”
"No, I just wanted to say ...... The British Embassy is not actually located in Chongqing. ”
"Absent?"
"Yes. It's in Shanghai. ”
"Shanghai?"
"Yes. Long before the Republic of China fixed the capital of Nanjing, the British embassy was moved from Beijing Dongjiaomin Lane to Nanjing Huju Road, and in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, it was upgraded from a legation to an embassy, but due to the Japanese invasion, the current ambassador to China, Sir Carr, had to move the embassy to the Shanghai Public Concession. Zhou Tian replied as if reporting a ledger.
"In other words, if I want to find that goods, I have to go to Shanghai?" Qin Wei asked.
"Seems like so." Zhou Tian said with a smile.
"He wants to be beautiful." Qin Wei "cut" disdainfully: "You have to run thousands of miles when you see each other, who does he think he is?" Get drunk! ”
"Huh?" Shen Zui pulled his foot off the accelerator again, and looked back at him expectantly: "What are you doing?" You don't want me to go for you, do you? ”
"You want to be beautiful, too!" Qin Wei gave him a blank look, "You can go to the British Consulate later...... That, Tian Tian, the British Consulate Chongqing should always have it, right? ”
"Huh? Ah, yes, yes! ”
Zhou Tian was so crisp by the sudden "Tian Tian" that he had goosebumps all over his body. I almost didn't react, and even Shen Zui's eyes widened instantly...... Qin Weike has always been very "clean and self-conscious". Not to mention anything else, Qi Qi and Lu Xiaojia, two female college students, have a lot of contact with him, and they are also quite beautiful, but I don't see any special reaction from this guy to others. Not only that, but this product even often picks his nose and eyes, not here, not there, so that Qi Qi has no good face as long as he sees him. In this regard, they still thought that Qin Wei was because of someone...... The beautiful "Fan Ye" in the wallet is the evidence. Seriously. In these days, color photos are very rare, even abroad, and they are so beautifully filmed that they have no special relationship. How could someone give him something so precious? But now this guy actually called "Tian Tian" to Zhou Tian insensibly?
"Yes, it's fine." Qin Wei didn't seem to see the surprised eyes of the two, "Remember to stay for a while." Just say what I said. Talk to them about something. ”
"That...... I didn't say you. Qin, sir! Shen Zui grinned, "Although your old man is also a person's name and the shadow of a tree in Chongqing, the British consul may not be able to take care of you." ”
"You said I'm going to talk to them about oil exploration in Indonesia." Qin Wei said casually.
"Oil?"
Zhou Tian was shocked again, and Shen was stunned...... Zhou Tian didn't expect that he, the chief official, would be able to reach out to foreign oil exploitation while maintaining a high level of secrecy. Shen Zui was surprised that Qin Wei had mentioned oil exploitation again. He didn't know about the Libyan oil field, and people who knew about it wouldn't tell him casually, but after all, he was a spy, and Qin Wei also learned a thing or two about his personality from Gu Changjun. In addition, Dai Li is also familiar with the whole thing, so he didn't guard much against him, a military commander's spy. As a result, after going back and forth, from the mouth, he made things almost inseparable. When he first figured it out, Shen Zui understood why he was sent to this disabled military shelter as a bodyguard with a slight stroke of Chairman Jiang's fingers, although he was a little aggrieved, but it was much more comfortable than at the beginning. Unexpectedly, Qin Wei actually mentioned oil again...... Could this guy be the illegitimate son of an oil tycoon?
"You don't have to say more, just tell him to come and talk to me if you want, and it's better to inform the Royal Shell Group again, that's all...... Drive. ”
"Oh......"
Shen drunk and dazed the accelerator, and then, a puff of smoke erupted from the rear of the car, and it "suddenly" moved forward again.
********************************
"Uncle, this is the letter that my father asked me to bring to you."
Qin Wei once again sacrificed the oil weapon, whether he had a feeling of OPEC possession at that moment or not, he had already begun to stir up the world to a certain extent, and no longer just put his hand on the domestic anti-Japanese battlefield. And just when he was about to do a big job, Kong Xiangxi's eldest daughter Kong Lingyi also climbed the Yellow Mountain on a sliding pole.
Yellow Mountain is not the Yellow Mountain in Anhui, but refers to the Yellow Mountain in Chongqing.
The trees here are sluggish, the cold hits people, and it is a good place to escape the heat. However, many years ago, Huangshan was not actually called Huangshan, but only a hill in Nanshan, Chongqing. It was only at the beginning of the 20th century that the comprador of Bai Li & Co., a big businessman named Huang Yunjie bought this place, and built a "Huang Family Garden" on the mountain, and since then, it has been called Huangshan. Seven. After the Seven Incidents, the Kuomintang was defeated in successive battles, and finally had to set Chongqing as the accompanying capital. And since it is a companion capital, it is natural to have a leader's residence. At first, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to get a temporary residence in the city, but since February 1938, Japanese planes have been bombing Chongqing in turn, and the frequency has become more and more frequent, and living in the city is too dangerous. So he had to think about building a house outside the city. However, if you want to build a new house of sufficient quality, it will take at least a few months. This is obviously impossible for Chairman Chiang, who is always in charge of militaristic affairs. Therefore, in desperation, I had no choice but to buy a house and find a place outside the city that could be used as the official residence of the chairman.
This matter was handed over to Dai Li by Lao Jiang. In order to curry favor with Lao Jiang and Song Meiling, Dai Li ordered the military commanders to immediately find nearly ten out-of-town villas of some warlords and wealthy businessmen in Chongqing and Sichuan in Geyue Mountain, Luqu Mountain, and Beibei Hot Springs...... Speaking of which, I have to mention the first place Dai Li chose for Lao Jiang: Geyue Mountain White Mansion! In Dai Li's view, the White Mansion is located in the middle of thousands of mountains, which is very conducive to air defense. It is very beneficial to the safety of the chairman's wife. However, when the villa was taken and handed over to Lao Jiang, Song Meiling was most disgusted with the Bai Mansion. Because she felt that the Bai Mansion was too yin, it looked like a "bunker" or "stockade" where the king of the mountain lived. As a result, Chairman Chiang missed the opportunity to live in the White Mansion, and Soong Meiling's words are said to have finally made Dai Li turn the White Mansion into a prison for Sino-American cooperation.
And Chiang Kai-shek saw that Song Meiling did not nod, so he ordered Dai Li and others to continue searching. Later, Dai Li finally found a very elegant hilltop villa on the south mountain of Chongqing, but there were still owners and families in this villa outside the city who had not moved out. However, Dai Li still took photos of the villas on the South Mountain one by one. Then send it to Song Meiling for personal viewing as usual. This time, Song Meiling showed a look of surprise in her eyes, and said again and again: "This is good, this is good!" Just go to Nanshan to live! ”
Dai Li never dreamed that the villa they accidentally found on Nanshan would attract Song Meiling's smile. Overjoyed, he immediately arranged for someone to "buy" the villa. and invited Chiang Kai-shek and his wife to watch. And after watching it in person. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling were also very satisfied, so the Huangshan Villa became Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
However, although it is the leader's residence, the total number of generals and guards in the Huangshan villa is less than 100. Of course, the defense is extremely tight. Moreover, only high-level generals knew the specific location of Lu Dao, and in order to prevent the surrounding people from leaking the news, Chiang Kai-shek even accepted them all as handymen in the villa.
It's just that. All the secrets of Huangshan Villa are not secrets to the Kong family. Kong Xiangxi didn't come, and Kong Lingyi still had enough identity to come to this place with a super high level of secrecy.
……
"Yongzhi (Kong Xiangxi) is fine, right? Why didn't you come by yourself? ”
Chiang Kai-shek did not rush to open Kong Xiangxi's letter, but first asked the dignified and beautiful niece in front of him. He and Song Meiling have no children, and their biological sons Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Weiguo have always been very strict in their education and have great rules, so they usually show a lot of love for the children of the Kong family. However, pampering is pampering, and there is also separation of relatives inside. In his opinion, the boys and girls of the Kong family are not very angry, and almost all of them are the roots and seedlings that cause trouble, only this Kong Lingyi has the most heart for him. Because he thinks that there is only one child in the Kong family who has the best education, is not keen on power and wealth, and is also the most ladylike.
"Father is not feeling well, it's not easy to come......" Hearing Chiang Kai-shek's question, Kong Lingyi lowered her head a little embarrassed: "Uncle, my father knows that he is wrong." Just spare him this time. ”
"Yongzhi is really, he doesn't want to show his head, but he lets your child come forward." Chiang Kai-shek sighed, glanced at Kong Lingyi again, and gave up his plan to leave her to say a few more words: "Forget it, you don't have to say anything about sparing." I've been friends with your father for decades, and I know what to do...... Let's go find your aunt. ”
"Hmm."
Kong Lingyi nodded and got up to leave. She didn't mess around. Because that's not her style...... Kong Xiangxi asked her to send a letter, and she sent the letter; Song Ailing asked her to intercede by the way, and she also interceded; As for the most, although she has never been involved in politics, and she has never had a power struggle with anyone, she also knows very well that when she is in Chiang Kai-shek's status and thinks about things, she will definitely not put family affection very highly, even if she loves her niece, it is impossible to mix it into national affairs. And the departure and stay of his father Kong Xiangxi is naturally a top national event.
"This kid is sensible."
"If the children of the Kong family were as sensible as Miss Ling Yi, there would be no today's incident."
After Kong Lingyi left, Chen Bui walked out of the side door of the living room. Chiang Kai-shek asked him to write an article yesterday, and this morning, it was already published in the newspapers...... Speaking of which, he has long been displeased with the Kong family. Just like Dai Li's view, he is actually the character of an ancient gentleman. It's just that he has always firmly believed that as a courtier, he should be "loyal from the beginning", and since he chose to be loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, everything should be considered according to Chiang Kai-shek's considerations. Therefore, due to Chiang Kai-shek's relationship, he could only remain silent about the affairs of the Confucian family. Unexpectedly, yesterday Chiang Kai-shek ordered him to make a move, and as a result, he was overly excited all of a sudden, and the article became sharp. Although he did not name names, the entire article was full of dissatisfaction and criticism of Kong Xiangxi's actions...... When I came to see Lao Jiang today, I was complained by Lao Jiang that he had written too much. He originally wanted to defend himself, but he didn't expect that before he could say a few words, Kong Lingyi came and brought Kong Xiangxi's handwritten letter. No need to ask, this must be a letter from Lao Kong to Lao Jiang to intercede...... A group of literati and scholars have been caught and scolded for so long, Fu Sinian and his group of people with the political participants at the political participation meeting also attacked in groups, that guy didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was a breeze, and he was scared of him just because of an article, he didn't even dare to ask Lao Jiang in person, he only dared to send his daughter here, and wanted to play the family card with Lao Jiang's love for Kong Lingyi, it seems that his article is indeed a bit "ruthless". Of course, Chen Bui will not think that this is all his own credit, without the power of Chairman Jiang, no matter how ruthless his writing is, he can't scare an executive premier.
"What do you say, what will Yongzhi say in this letter?" Chiang Kai-shek picked up the letter and shook it. He didn't want to discuss the education of the Kong family's children with Chen Bui, because he knew that a large part of the reason why those children were so stubborn as they were now was because of his and Song Meiling's connivance. But then again, it's not his own child, he can't be as strict as he is with Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Weiguo, right? If you really want to do that, how should Song Meiling explain it?
"I don't know what to do, but I should admit my mistake." Chen Bui guessed.
"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great, but I am afraid that he can change his mistakes, and he will make another mistake after he changes......" Chiang Kai-shek smiled bitterly. Because of Kong Xiangxi's matter, Song Meiling had already discussed it with him all night yesterday. Of course, Song Meiling is not the kind of person who is pampered and arrogant, she just put on Kong Xiangxi's merits and hard work over the years, and also put on Kong Xiangxi's continued stay in the position of the executive premier can help him...... It's all very profound, and he is really moved. After all, the friendship between the two is not shallow, and they have been cooperating for more than ten years, Kong Xiangxi has indeed helped him a lot, and he is obedient. And he never thought about removing this guy in the first place...... Asking Chen Bui to write an article is just a knock on that guy. As long as Kong Xiangxi is willing to admit his mistakes and repent, he is still willing to accept it.
"Come to think of it, Dean Kong is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat." Chen Bui sighed. From this morning, Lao Jiang complained that he wrote too much, and he could see that Lao Jiang still wanted to let Kong Xiangxi go...... He did not agree to do so. But he can't talk about it.
Chairman Tai Jian...... Hehe, I thought he would write a private letter, it was like an official letter. …… It seems that he is genuinely repentant. Chiang Kai-shek opened the letter and read it in front of Chen Bui, at first, Kong Xiangxi admitted his mistake, and the words of remorse made him feel good, but after a while, his voice was quiet, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Chairman ......" Chen Bui sensitively sensed that something was wrong, but as soon as he spoke, Chiang Kai-shek had already dropped the letter to the ground at once:
"Stubborn!" (To be continued......)
