"It's my duty!" Chen Shaokuan said generously.

"Okay, I'll be relieved to leave this matter to you." Huang Ke smiled slightly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after Huang Ke said "come in", Chen Liewen walked in, and after nodding to Chen Shaokuan, he came over and whispered a few times in Huang Ke's ear.

Huang Ke couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and then he returned to his old expression, "Okay, I know, you can go first." ”

After Chen Liewen went out, Chen Shaokuan saw Huang Ke's solemn face, so he asked casually, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Huang Ke shook his head, "It's not your incident, it's something in the north." ”

"North? You mean Mongolia? Chen Shaokuan naturally knew that the Mongolian region had not been very peaceful, the Soviets were looking at it, and some royal families in Mongolia and the northwest also had strange intentions, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to remove Mongolia from the supervision of the central government.

There is no doubt that this is a problem for the Nanjing government. Now that there is bad news coming at this time, is it possible that there are still some variables?

"Yes, Mongolia. said that the few princes who ran away a few days ago gathered a group of people from nowhere, and now threaten to recapture Cullen. Speaking of this, Huang Ke smiled bitterly: "These princes also changed the name of Kulun, saying that it is called Ulaanbaatar, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

Huang Ke has always been optimistic about things, but Chen Shaokuan couldn't laugh at this matter, and said with a stern face: "It seems that after driving out the Japanese, we can't completely concentrate on construction!" ”

"It's not a big problem." Huang Ke stood up from his seat, walked over slowly, and said, "The problem of Mongolia and the northwest, except for a small number of internal forces, is now the Soviet Union. After the war, the Soviet Union and the United States will be the main rivals, and the competition between them will be mainly concentrated in Europe, and I don't think Moscow will or will not invest too much energy in Asia. However, after all, it is a tricky question. ”

Chen Shaokuan nodded, agreeing with Huang Ke's opinion. He asked: "I have heard that the heads of state of the United States, Britain, China, and the Soviet Union are planning a meeting, is it possible that these issues will be resolved at this meeting?" ”

Huang Ke pinched his chin and paced, "It will be mentioned, but whether it is solved or not depends on our next strength." President Roosevelt had previously suggested a summer meeting, but it appeared that it would be postponed until the winter. There are still a few months to go, and in that time, if we want to get the bargaining chips at the negotiating table, we have to gain a certain advantage on the battlefield. ”

"To tell you the truth, my initial goal is that by October this year, the Japanese army on the mainland will be basically wiped out, and our army will form an oppressive trend against Indochina and the Korean Peninsula, so that we will have more right to speak."

After speaking, Huang Ke said to Chen Shaokuan again: "Houfu, the battle of Shanghai is also very important, and the burden on your shoulders is not light." ”

After hearing this, Chen Shaokuan stood up and said, "Houfu will do his best. ”

……

Two days later, when five submarines purchased from the United States arrived at the newly recaptured port of Guangzhou, the Japanese evacuation plan from Shanghai was finally confirmed, as the first Japanese troops had already begun to evacuate from Shanghai.

The first group of Japanese troops to evacuate were the most important scientific research institutions and some technical personnel, and the ships carried with them a large number of rare treasures plundered from China.

Han Guang was very surprised to hear that the Japanese army had plundered many precious cultural relics in China for many years, most of which were stored in the National Shanghai Museum. In the past few days, the National Museum has put up a sign that it is closed for no visits, and I am afraid that the Japanese have already begun to take action.

Han Guang is a highly educated person, so he naturally knows the value of these historical treasures, which are more precious than gold, because once they are lost, they are no more. In a hurry, on the one hand, he began to prepare for the armed hijacking, and on the other hand, he hurriedly reported to the Nanjing side.

Nanjing soon made a special report to Huang Ke on the matter. After Huang Ke learned the news, he didn't even think about giving instructions: "Don't intervene, don't attack, let the Japanese army be the first to evacuate!" ”

The telecommunications code traveled through Miyun over Shanghai and Nanjing, and the order was quickly transmitted back to Shanghai. Hu Biao was already ready with an armed team of workers, but after seeing the order, he couldn't help but be discouraged.

Han Guang was puzzled, how could he let the Japanese transport these things away? However, he is puzzled, he is a professional soldier in the end, and it is his duty to obey orders, so he still ordered the armed team to disband and go back to standby.

In the evening, the sulking Hanguang and Hu Biao returned to the residence, asked Mo Bing to fry a few dishes, and drank the stuffy wine.

Han Guang didn't speak, and drank the glass of liquor in front of him in one gulp.

Hu Biao wanted to say something, but he was worried that he would lose too much of his words, so he also drank silently. Sanmao and the others had just come back from the church school, and they didn't dare to come over to disturb them like this, so they had to go to the house early.

It didn't take long for there to be a knock at the door, three long and two short, it was his own person. Mo Bing went to open the door. It's none other than Lao Pan.

After Lao Pan walked in, he said casually: "I haven't been here for a few days, I saw a few perch sold over there, so I bought them and tasted them with you." ”

Mo Bing also said casually: "Brother Pan, you are so polite, please come in." ”

Lao Pan's real identity is just a small clerk in Wang's puppet government, and he and Hu Biao's factory can be regarded as intersecting, and they are not conspicuous in contact on weekdays.

What's more, Shanghai is in chaos now, No. 76 is almost paralyzed, and the Japanese are busy evacuating, so there is no one to care about this.

After entering the house, Han Guang and Hu Biao both stood up and invited Lao Pan to sit down, Lao Pan handed the fish to Mo Bing, and said that she should go to the kitchen to cook it, and he sat down to drink with Han and Hu.

"What? Angry and drunk? Lao Pan looked at the two wine jugs that were already empty, smiled and asked.

Han Guang wanted to admit it, but nodded again, he didn't say anything.

"The consideration over there is correct, you just can't figure it out for a while." Lao Pan took a wine bottle from Hu Biao's hand and poured himself a glass.

Han Guang still didn't speak.

"This thing is doing it now, and it definitely can't guarantee its integrity. Besides, if we strike now, we will be exposed to our strength in Shanghai in advance, but don't forget that there are still more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers in this city. It's better to let the Japanese transport it back, they will keep it for us first, and sooner or later we will have to get it back. ”

As soon as Lao Pan said this, Han Guang felt a little more comfortable.

After the three of them clinked glasses and drank a glass, Lao Pan put down the wine glass and said seriously: "Let's get down to business, Lao Hu has news over there, he said that he has been prepared, and on the day of the general attack of the troops, he will be able to do it, and then we will do it together." What do you think? How's your preparation going? ”

Han Guang and Hu Biao glanced at each other, and the two nodded, meaning that they were almost ready.

"That's good, let's discuss the specific details later, this is an important matter, don't be sloppy!" Lao Pan said and repeated again.

Han Hu and both nodded, indicating that they understood the seriousness of this matter.

"Well, these things are imminent right now, and we must be in good spirits. Don't drink the wine yet, and when you sober up, we'll look at the details of the action. Lao Pan raised his hand to look at his watch, his brows furrowed, he was a little dissatisfied with the fact that the two were drinking.

Han Guang felt that he was a little unreasonable, so he had to say, "Okay." ”

At this time, there was a sound of porcelain breaking not far away, followed by a fierce quarrel, and the three of them immediately became alert. Mo Bing, who was in the kitchen, walked out with an apron in her hand, and after she looked at a few people, she said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

The other three sat down in the room, Hu Biao's hand had already touched his waist, and those who did this often encountered accidents, and it was best to cheer up the spirit.

Mo Bing came back after going out for a while, she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it seems that the landlord and the tenant have quarreled, it's not a big deal, you continue to drink, I'll go see if the fish is stewed." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Mo Bing continued to return to the kitchen, and several people continued to eat.

The quarrel became louder and louder, at first it was the voice of a Shanghai woman, then several people arguing, and then the voice of a Shanghai man coming to persuade him, and after this man persuaded him, the voice seemed to be much quieter.

Han Guang couldn't help laughing, this place is like a miscellaneous courtyard, where the middle and lower classes of ordinary people live, and the story of quarrels between the charter wife and the tenants is staged every day.

Since it's the norm, everyone doesn't pay attention to it anymore.

Following the source of the quarrel, you can see that in a small shabby attic, a middle-aged woman wearing old pajamas, slippers, and a cigarette in her mouth is shouting at the door with her hands on her waist: "If you dare to bring people back again, you will all be driven to the street!" A group of little red guys, who pay for one person's money, but want two people to live, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world! ”

"Chartered wife! Can you be quieter, it's getting late, we're all going to sleep! A timid male voice came from a room not far away.

"I'm a little fucking big! Four-eyed, if you talk nonsense again, I'll kick you out tomorrow! After a thunderstorm of angry scolding, the four-eyed house stopped responding.

Seeing that no one responded to him, the charter wife shouted loudly: "From today on, the water supply will be 135 and the 246 intermittent water supply, if the water is turned on again and the faucet is not turned off, the old lady will definitely drive him to the street!" ”

In the attic, Xiao Daiyu shook her head and said to Ah Xing: "Such a woman is really untidy!" ”
