After nearly two months of recuperation, Chen Qiang was finally able to get out of bed and walk around.

John Rabe's villa is not big, just a two-story building, but in the past month, it has taken in more than 600 refugees at its peak, when the small garden outside was full of people, and the first floor of the villa has also become a temporary storage warehouse for food, medicine and other materials, but even so, Rabe still set aside a room for Chen Qiang to live in.

At this time, those beast-like Japanese soldiers had returned to their respective barracks, and the Red Cross, Chongshantang, Tongshantang and other charitable organizations in Nanjing had begun to bury the bodies inside and outside Nanjing, and the church in Nanjing had also set up a special burial team. But even so, for fear of the return of the Japanese army, there were still many Chinese refugees who stayed in the safe zone and did not dare to leave. So around Rabe's villa, there are still hundreds of refugees.

On this day, Chen Qiang stood by the window, breathing in the fresh air outside the window, but heard the horn of a car in the distance, only to see several Japanese military vehicles, coming from a distance, parked at the door of Rabe's house, and several Japanese soldiers came down from above, looking at Rabe's villa with fierce eyes.

When the refugees saw the Japanese army, they all showed panicked expressions, they all knew what had happened in the city of Nanjing in the past month or so, so when they saw the Japanese army, they began to worry about whether the Japanese army would wave their butcher knives at them.

The leader is a young man, who is the staff officer next to Tada Jun.

Shao Zuo saw the Chinese refugees gathered around him, and his face showed disgust, and then he strode into Rabe's villa.

"Why did the Japanese come, are they looking for Rabe?" Chen Qiang felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, he walked out of his room and came to the staircase, but did not go down, but hid in the corner of the staircase, eavesdropping on the conversation below.

In the living room on the first floor, two people were talking, both of them were speaking Chinese, but the tone was very strange, obviously two foreigners were talking in Chinese.

The voice of one of them, Chen Qiang is very familiar, is none other than Rabe.

"Yamada Shaozuo, Chen Qiang is my guest, you have no right to take him away!" Rabe's voice rang out.

At the staircase, Chen Qiang was shocked in his heart, he already knew that this Japanese was here to arrest him.

I only heard the Shao Zuo surnamed Yamada speak: "Mr. Rabe, please be clear about the current situation, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire has occupied Nanjing!" The place where you stand is the territory of the Great Japanese Empire! We can take anyone here. ”

"Yamada Shaosa, you mean that in the land occupied by Japan, you Japanese soldiers can infringe on the rights and interests of German citizens at will, right?" Rabe said coldly.

Yamada Shaozo was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "Mr. Rabe, you misunderstood what I meant. I don't mean to offend your country, but that Chen Qiang, I have to take it away, he's not a German, right? We took her away, not to the detriment of the rights and interests of German citizens. ”

"No way, Chen Qiang is my guest, since he came to my house as a guest, I have the obligation to protect his safety." Rabe spoke.

"Mr. Rabe, take Chen Qiang away, it is an order of the Central China Front of the Imperial Army, and I must carry it out!" Yamada Shaoza continued.

"But I'm not a Japanese soldier, and the orders of your army have nothing to do with me." Rabe responded.

The two of them talked to each other for a long time, but in the end there was no result, one wanted to take Chen Qiang away, but the other did not allow it. And in the face of such a tough Rabe, Yamada Shaozo did not dare to be rude, and every time Yamada Shaozo wanted to threaten Rabe, Rabe moved out of his identity as a German citizen and ** party.

Finally, Yamada Shaosa's patience was worn out, and he spoke; "Mr. Rabe, it is precisely because you are German that I will personally come to negotiate with you, if you still refuse to hand over Chen Qiang, we do not rule out that there will be some more extreme situations, which may bring danger to Mr. Rabe!"

"I would like to remind you that I am a German citizen, and I am the deputy minister of the German Workers' Party in China! Are you going to arrest me? Rabel spoke.

"No, of course not, Japan and Germany are allies, and the Imperial Army will certainly not act against you, but the Chinese are not necessarily! Mr. Rabe, you should know that Nanjing has been quite chaotic lately, and I heard that there are some Chinese bandits in Nanjing, who have guns, and they will break into people's houses and kill people and goods! Yamada Shaozo said with a smug face.

Rabe's face suddenly tightened.

Now in the city of Nanjing, the Chinese can't wait to run out, where will someone break in and send them to death! Even bandits are worried about getting into the city and not getting out.

But since Yamada Shaoza said that there are bandits, then there will be no and there will be.

Yamada Shaozo can go to some traitors to pretend to be bandits, and then come to Rabe's villa to "kill people and cross goods", or directly find Japanese soldiers to pretend to be bandits, anyway, the Japanese and Chinese are yellow-skinned and black-haired, it is difficult to distinguish.

Moreover, the current city of Nanjing is so chaotic, if Rabe is invaded by "bandits", or even killed by "bandits", it has nothing to do with the Japanese army, after all, it is not the Japanese who made a move. Moreover, after the Japanese casually captured a few Chinese and killed them as "bandits", they would be able to give an account to Germany, anyway, the Japanese had already killed more than 300,000 Chinese in Nanjing, and it didn't matter if they killed a few more innocent Chinese.

Obviously, what Yamada Shaozo meant was that if Rabe refused to hand over Chen Qiang, he would use this shameless method to deal with Rabe!

And Rabe, who has seen the ferocity of the Japanese, has realized that the Japanese are inhumane, and he knows that Yamada Shaosa will really do what he says.

In desperation, Rabe finally used his killer weapon, only to hear him speak: "Yamada Shaoza, Mr. Chen is not only my guest, but also the guest of our great German Führer!" Last year, our great head of state received Mr. Chen on several occasions and personally conferred the honour on Mr. Chen. ”

"As the Deputy Minister of the German Workers' Party in China, if I can't keep Mr. Chen safe, I can't give an account to our great German Führer! Moreover, Mr. Chen is the person who has personally conferred the medal on us by our great head of state, and if Mr. Chen suffers any accident with me, our great head of state will be very unhappy. ”

Rabe also had no choice, in order to keep Chen Qiang, he could only fake the tiger and move out the signboard of the German Führer.

Rabe showed the golden sign of the German Führer, and it was very effective. The smug and arrogant arrogance that Yamada Shaozuo had just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Yamada Shaosa knows what it means for the head of a country to personally bestow medals on foreigners. If what Rabe said is true, and the German head of state really personally awarded Chen Qiang the medal, then the matter is complicated, and this involves the face of a country.

Personally conferred the medal in his capacity as head of state, representing the recognition of the entire country. The German head of state awarded Chen Qiang a medal on the front foot, and the Japanese arrested Chen Qiang on the back foot, and even arrested Chen Qiang at the home of a German official, isn't that a slap in the face of Germany? Wouldn't Germany be very faceless? Will this offend the German Führer?

Yamada Shaozo knew that when it came to the German Führer, he had no power to make decisions, so he could only report the matter to Tada Jun and let Tada Jun make decisions.

So Yamada Shaoza opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, then I will take my leave!" ”

"No." Rabe paused, then said, "By the way, I have already reported to Berlin about Mr. Chen's visit to my house......

Yamada Shaoza's face suddenly became embarrassed, he knew that Rabe was using this method to warn him, don't mess around!

At the corner of the stairs on the second floor, Chen Qiang let out a long breath.

The "Peace and Friendship Medal" awarded to Chen Qiang by the German head of state was also sent to Macao along with those Olympic gold medals. But what Chen Qiang never expected was that this medal would become his talisman from being poisoned by the Japanese.

……

Yamada reported the incident to Tada, the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese army.

"General, I failed to complete the task you gave me, please punish me." Yamada Shaoza said with his head down.

Tada asked, "Is what the German said true?" Did the German head of state really give Chen Qiang a medal? ”

"Report to the general, I have specially collected information in this regard, and what the Germans said is true, in August last year, during the Berlin Olympics, Germany received Chen Qiang many times from afar, and also personally awarded him medals. Moreover, Chen Qiang was the only foreign athlete to be awarded the medal by the German head of state at that time. Yamada Shaosa replied.

"Then this matter is in trouble, at least we can't be tough on Chen!" Tada Jun said.

"Maybe that Rabe is just bluffing, the German head of state has a lot of opportunities, and he can't remember Chen Qiang at all." Yamada Shaoza said.

"But we don't dare bet! What if the German Führer really values that Chen Qiang? After all, he personally awarded Chen Qiang a medal. Tada Jun paused in his voice, and then said: "As far as I know, the German Führer is a very strong person, and even Britain and France are afraid of him!" For the sake of an athlete, it would be worth the loss to give the German Führer a bad impression of our Great Japanese Empire. Moreover, the war between the Reich and China has been in full swing, and at this time we need the support of Germany the most. ”

Japan's aggression against China obviously had a serious impact on the interests of Britain and France in China, and if it were not for Germany's keen eye and Britain and France not having the time to deal with the Far East, perhaps Britain and France would have sailed their warships to Shanghai to "protect overseas Chinese" during the Battle of Songhu.

Therefore, Japan cannot afford to lose the support of Germany, and if even Germany is hostile to Japan, then Japan will really have to oppose the whole world. At this juncture, Japan will definitely not make the German head of state unhappy for the sake of a Chen Qiang.

Yamada Shaozo continued to ask: "Then are we going to give up our actions against Chen Qiang?" ”

"No!" Tada shook his head, and he continued, "We can start with other things. Since the hard ones don't work, then let's go to the soft ones. ”

"Please make it clear to the general." Yamada Shaoza said.

"Didn't Chen Qiang seek refuge in his German home? Then we will find a way to let him take the initiative to come out and join us and serve the empire! You can know it with affection, move it with reason, the key is to lure it to profit! Tada said.

"General, I understand, I'll do it right away." After Yamada Shaoza finished speaking, he took his leave and left.

……

After a day, Yamada Shaosa came to Rabe's residence again, and unlike last time, this time Yamada Shaosa did not come empty-handed, but brought gifts.

"Yamada Shaoza, why are you here again? I've already told you before that it's impossible for Chen to go with you. Rabe said coldly.

"Mr. Rabe, this time, I am not here to take Mr. Chen away, I am here to visit Mr. Chen. I also hope that Mr. Rabe can ask Mr. Chen to come out and let me meet with him. Yamada Shaosa said, took the gift from his subordinates, and handed it over with both hands.

The so-called people who don't stretch out their hands and don't hit the smiling face, people came with gifts, and Rabe didn't refuse immediately, in fact, he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Yamada Shaoza's gourd.

So Rabe opened his mouth and said, "Yamada Shaozuo, you wait a while, I'll ask Chen if he wants to see you." ”

At this time, Chen Qiang had been listening to the staircase upstairs for a long time.

Rabe walked upstairs and saw Chen Qiang standing at the corner of the stairs, and immediately said, "You heard what we said just now, right?" To see or not to see? ”

Chen Qiang thought for a while and said, "I'd better go and meet that Yamada Shaozuo!" At least I have to find out what the Japanese are up to me so that I can deal with it later. There is a saying in our Chinese "Art of War", which is called 'Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'. ”

"Alright then, you're still weak, I'll help you downstairs." After Rabe finished speaking, he helped Chen Qiang down the stairs.

……

Yamada Shaozo finally saw Chen Qiang, but there was a surprised expression on his face, because Chen Qiang didn't look like a physically strong athlete, on the contrary, Yamada Shaozo saw a weak patient!

"Is this Chen Qiang? Is he sick? Yamada Shaozo looked at Chen Qiang, his observation was very sharp, and he soon saw the bandages wrapped around Chen Qiang's body through the collar and cuffs.

"It's not sick, it's hurt! Could it be that he was wounded when the emperor's army captured Nanjing a few days ago? Yamada realized this immediately.

Rabe introduced the two sides, and Chen Qiang didn't bother to greet Yamada Shaozuo, he asked directly to the point: "Yamada Shaozo came to me, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"That's right, our army heard that Chen is still staying in Nanjing, so they specially sent me to visit." Yamada Shaozo said, pushed the gift in front of Chen Qiang, and said; "These are the gifts I brought to Mr. Chen."

"There is Lao Yamada Shaozuo." Chen Qiang did not refuse, but accepted the gift, and the Japanese did not take advantage of it!

"Mr. Chen, I noticed on the way here that there are a lot of refugees around here, and the living environment is not good. Moreover, the materials in Nanjing are not abundant now, and I think Mr. Chen lives here, and his life security is not very smooth! Yamada Shaozo paused, and then said:

"So we specially selected a luxury villa for Mr. Chen, which is bigger than here and has a better environment, so the furniture has been prepared, and we have also prepared a cook, maid and bodyguard for Mr. Chen, who will serve Mr. Chen alone and take care of Mr. Chen's daily life, and in terms of living materials, we will also give priority to providing protection for Mr. Chen." In addition to Chinese food, such as imported red wine, cigars, and chocolates, we also prepared for Mr. Chen. So I came here this time to ask Mr. Chen to move into the villa we have prepared for you. ”

Chen Qiang smiled slightly, and secretly said in his heart, it was really still the one that was lured. At the Los Angeles Olympics five years ago, Kishi Kiyoshi used this trick, and it was also a high-ranking official Houlu villa.

But this Yamada Shaozo is similar to Kishi Qingyi back then, and he is also unprofessional, he only knows the material conditions, why did he forget about the beauty! Shouldn't this temptation be attached to a little temptation? Money alone without beautiful women, this temptation is not enough!

Yamada Shaozuo looked at Chen Qiang expectantly, if Chen Qiang agreed to come down, then the rest of the matter would be much easier. If Chen Qiang can be successfully bought to work for Japan, not to mention a big villa in Nanjing, it is worth it to give Chen Qiang a big villa in every city.

However, Chen Qiang suddenly ripped off his shirt, revealing a wound wrapped in bandages.

"Yamada Shaosa, you are a soldier, you should be able to see that I am injured now! And the injury was very serious. Chen Qiang said.

Yamada Shaosa immediately said: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured, we will prepare the most comfortable car for you to pick you up, and we will also find the best doctor in Japan to give you the best medical treatment." The level of medicine in Japan is the best in the Far East, much better than in China, and I am sure that under the treatment of Japanese doctors, you will recover soon! ”

Chen Qiang knew that what Yamada Shaozuo said was true, and he would really find the best doctor and use the best medicine for Chen Qiang.

However, Chen Qiang shook his head: "Yamada Shaozuo, you misunderstood what I meant, I showed you the injuries on my body, not to get treatment, I want to tell you that these injuries are all caused by your Japanese bombers!" Two months ago, at the hands of your Japanese army, I almost died! You Japanese almost killed me! Yamada Shaosa, if it were you, would you accept a gift from someone who almost killed you? ”

"Uh......" Yamada Shaozo was stunned.

Yamada Shaozo looked at the location of Chen Qiang's injury, and also knew that what Chen Qiang said was true, Yamada Shaozo knew the power of the bomber bomb, and he could even predict how seriously Chen Qiang's injury was at that time. If it were me, I might not be able to survive at all!

At the same time, Yamada Shaoza also knew that today's conversation would not be able to go on at all. Chen Qiang showed his injury to Yamada Shaozuo, which was equivalent to giving him the answer to refuse!

Looking at the back of Yamada Shaozuo leaving, Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. He showed Yamada Shaoza the wounds on his body, more like a firm and stern refusal. Chen Qiang hopes that in this way, the idea of the Japanese taking advantage of him can be discouraged.

"I hope that the Japanese will die of this heart and not come to me again in the future. But if this still has no effect, the Japanese are still pestering me, I don't know how long Rabe will be able to protect me......" Chen Qiang took a deep breath and secretly said in his heart: "I am a Chinese, even if I die, I can't be a traitor!" ”

At this time, Chen Qiang missed Director Zhao of the General Affairs Section, Chen Qiang still remembered that Director Zhao could find something better than cyanide and no pain to take.
