Chapter 345 Tianjin Port

Tang Qiuli didn't understand why this girl suddenly lost interest in her previous work, and even hated it.

Tang Qiuli had no choice but to formally appoint Shen Jun as the head of the investigation department of the independent division, and concurrently serve as the director of the inspection department of the Pingjin Garrison Command.

Shen Jun told Tang Qiuli an important situation, the intelligence system of Tianjin Port, came to the news, the Japanese transport fleet has been extremely active recently, and there are often large fleets of ships docked at Tianjin Port, according to various indications, these large cargo ships are all from the Japanese mainland.

Because Tianjin Port is managed by many countries, that is, China has no power to manage, and the Chinese government has no power to meddle in all port affairs.

Unloaded from the large freighter, are tarpaulin-covered very tight trucks, because the dock is under full martial law by the Japanese military police, ordinary people, especially Chinese, can not approach the dock at all, Shen Jun's intelligence system, folded in two agents, only to find out the matter.

This is a new unit transferred from the Japanese mainland to North China, the strength of about 53,000 people, Shen Jun's situation, aroused Tang Qiuli's high vigilance, according to the establishment of the Japanese army, this is the establishment of two Japanese first-class divisions, the Japanese army base camp began to increase troops to North China.

This is a new situation, and it may be that Tashiro Wanichiro, commander of the Japanese garrison in North China, repeatedly suffered heavy losses in the course of many battles with Tang Qiuli, losing troops and losing generals, so that the situation in North China developed in a direction unfavorable to the Japanese army.

According to the Japanese Army's plan, it steadily advanced from south to north, and fought several large-scale military decisive battles to gradually annihilate the vital military forces of the Nationalist Government, and then realize its ambition of occupying the whole of China.

It is a matter of time before they send more troops to North China, and it is no wonder that the Japanese have recently stopped doing so, and the so-called "abnormality is a demon" is like a wild dog that has always barked wildly, and it suddenly stopped barking, which made people feel strange.

This is just the beginning, the Japanese base camp will continue to mobilize troops from the mainland, and when the highest organization of the Japanese army feels that their strength has the absolute upper hand, it is the beginning of the Sino-Japanese war.

Therefore, by closely monitoring the movements of the Japanese army, we can roughly judge the time when the Japanese army moved in North China.

Tang Qiuli ordered Shen Jun and Yu Deshui's intelligence system to find out the number, specific strength, and weaponry of the troops transferred from Japan to North China at any cost, and if necessary, to activate the line that Tang Qiuquan had planted earlier.

Tang Qiuli felt the murderous aura of Teng Teng from the Japanese army's action of increasing troops in North China, and he felt anxious about the delay in the arrival of the Suomi submachine guns and anti-aircraft weapons ordered in the United States, and the time left for him was not sufficient.

The air defense force has just become an army, and what is lacking is advanced air defense weapons, and the training of the troops is imminent, so although it is not yet September, he can't help but send a telegram to the old man Zhu Zixuan and Leddy on the American side, urging them to arrive as soon as possible.

After Mei Ting resigned from the post of chief of the inspection department of the garrison command, she was unofficial and light, and she never thought that she would take up the post of director of political work in the independent division, and devoted herself to the great cause of taking care of someone Tang.

Tang Qiuli's personal life is well organized, and his daily work is to take care of Tang Qiuli closely, and he is tired of it and does it with relish, although the two of them have not broken through the last bottom line, Mei Ting has already demanded herself as the pillow person of Master Tang.

He saw that something was wrong, such a capable and talented woman, being a housewife with peace of mind, isn't this a waste of talent? Tang Qiuli felt that it was a pity, there was no way, in view of the complicated transactional work, he appointed Mei Ting as the chief secretary of the newly established secretariat of the Pingjin Garrison Command.

To Tang Qiuli's surprise, Mei Ting gladly accepted this new position, Tang Qiuli had prepared a lot of rhetoric, Mei Ting had her own considerations, the chief secretary of the Pingjin Garrison Command, she had to deal with the garrison commander every day, who was the garrison commander? It's Tang Qiuli

This time at work, there was a chance to get along with him, Mei Ting was happy in her heart, for fear that Tang Qiuli would regret it, so she hurriedly agreed, and left the next day to take office.

Looking at this girl's overjoyed appearance, Tang Qiuli instinctively felt that something was wrong there, Mei Ting's work ability was not there, Tang Qiuli used it quite easily, and it also reduced his workload.

However, this girl comes to ask for instructions and report to her work too many times every day, and those who have good things carefully count it, and the average number of times Director Mei goes to the division commander's office every day is an astonishing thirty or forty times.

Tang Qiuli also reminded Mei Ting on the side, this girl looked dazed and innocent, saying that she was the chief secretary of the garrison commander, and the work of other secretaries was summarized here, and then she asked for instructions, they all had things to handle, and she was so tired that her legs and feet were sore

As he spoke, he was still rubbing his feet, with a painful look on his face, which made Tang Qiuli speechless, looking at the smugness on this girl's face, he felt very scratching his head, and he had a feeling of being cocooned and self-bound.

One day at the end of August, Mei Ting came to Tang Qiuli's office quickly and sent an urgent telegram, it turned out that the first batch of equipment was shipped from the United States, and it was about to arrive at the port of Tianjin.

Tang Qiuli turned around the office a few times excitedly, and instructed Mei Ting to immediately convene the heads of the various divisions of the Pingjin Garrison Command and immediately hold a meeting to study the relevant matters related to receiving equipment.

There is a problem here that needs to be solved immediately: the United States is coming over a large cargo ship, and there is another wharf not far from the wharf jointly managed by many countries, but it is under the management of the Tianjin Municipal Government, and there is no need to deal with foreign powers, but the berth of this wharf is too small to stop a large cargo ship of tens of thousands of tons.

Offshore reversing? Not to mention the labor-intensive, time-consuming, and laborious efforts, there is no way to guarantee safety at all, the Japanese warships are showing off their might in the waters off Tanggu, and they have a reasonable collision, Tang Qiuli's hard work must not sink to the bottom of the sea, and he can't find a place to cry.

The directors of the various divisions of the garrison headquarters have no good way, especially now that the Japanese freighters come and go every day, occupying the wharf, and the great powers all know that the relationship between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese is quite bad, and who is willing to come forward, talk small, accompany the smiling face, and now the Japanese are very arrogant and unreasonable.

Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered that the first time he went to Tianjin, he had met the German Consul General in Tianjin. Hoffman had contact and the impression on both sides was very good. Hoffman also invited himself to his home.

I also gave it to Feng. Hoffman: A Chinese antique, even though it's a fake, is it also a work of art? Now, von. Hoffman, who is still in Tianjin, is the consul general, and with this relationship, things are easy to do.

The day after Tang Qiuli, he took Mei Ting and Shanhu and drove to Tianjin.

Meet Feng. Consul General Hoffmann, this old German man was very surprised, he had a very deep and good impression of Tang Qiuli, and felt that he was different from all the Chinese he knew.

Seeing Mei Ting beside Tang Qiuli, he was obviously stunned, he was very impressed by Xiaoling, thinking that she was the most beautiful and temperamental Chinese girl he had ever seen.

The old man was straightforward and asked directly: "Tang, why didn't Miss Zhang Xiaoling, who came with you last time, not come, my wife misses her very much."

Tang Qiuli felt a pain in his heart, all the past events in Tianjin came to mind, the dance of life that night, the so-called seeing things and thinking about people, the imitation antique that he and Xiaoling gave to Hoffman, was still placed in a conspicuous position, but the beloved was gone, and he still had his own flesh and blood.

Tang Qiuli's face instantly turned pale, and the delicate Mei Ting quietly held his hand, and found that Tang Qiuli's hand was cold and damp, and was trembling slightly.

Feng. When Hoffman saw Tang Qiuli's sudden face, he felt a little abrupt, especially when there were girls who came with Tang Qiuli and whose appearance and temperament were comparable to Xiaoling, looking at the intimacy of the two of them, it was obvious that the relationship was not ordinary.

He was just about to apologize, Tang Qiuli obviously didn't want to mention the past again, took a deep breath, put his feelings on hold, waved his hand at Hoffman, and just told Sù Hoffman: "Mr. Hoffman, my fiancée Miss Zhang, was killed by the Japanese when she was in the Northeast, and I took the liberty to visit today, which is also related to the Japanese." ”

"This is my lover, Miss Mei Ting, and this is the German Consul General in Tianjin. Mr. Hoffman, who is also an old friend of mine, "He introduced Mei Ting to Hoffman, obviously not wanting to embarrass Mei Ting, and also let Hoffman know the current identity of Mei Ting and the relationship with himself.

Feng. Hoffman was stunned for a moment, a very regretful look appeared on his face, followed by anger and hatred, the arrogant personality of the Germanic nation made him full of contempt for the nouveau riche Japanese, and the good impression of Xiaoling made him very sorry, the girl who was as beautiful as a flower was killed by the Japanese, which made him full of hatred for the Japanese who mutilated a beautiful life.

Tang Qiu left the door and told Hoffmann about his intentions, and the old German man was very happy and immediately agreed to help.

He gave Tang Qiuli another idea, since the freighter came from the United States, then, the United States also enjoyed the right to unload cargo at this port, and he suggested that he immediately go to the American Consul General in Tianjin.

Accompanied by Hoffman, Tang Qiuli came to the U.S. Consulate and told him about the situation, and the U.S. Consul General thought about it and thought that what Tang Qiuli said was very reasonable.

As a matter of fact, the great powers in Tianjin did not have a good impression of the Japanese who had the face of an upstart, but they did not care about the fundamental conflict of interests.

Now, it was a matter of American national face, and of course he had to speak, and finally it was agreed that he and von . Consul General Hoffman came forward together to apply for berths to the Multinational Port Management Committee, and it was important that American cargo ships could unload their cargo at Tanggu Wharf.

With Feng. After Hoffman said goodbye, it was already evening, because he had to pick up goods every day, Tang Qiuli decided to stay in Tianjin for one night.

The hotel she chose happened to be the Bohai Hotel, and since she entered the hotel door, Mei Ting felt Tang Qiuli's mood fluctuations and strangeness.
