At Sin Chew Wharf, more than 30,000 Chinese have successfully boarded the ship, which makes Chen Jiageng and others feel a little relieved and no longer so nervous. Cui Lin had already joined them, and the Chinese who had been temporarily incorporated into the Volunteers were asked to hand over their guns to board the ship, and the defense of the docks was completely handed over to the Xinghua Volunteers and the Jewish soldiers.

Lin Jiangshi, Hu Tiejun and Cui Lin originally asked Chen Jiageng to get on the boat first, but the latter refused, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "I'm with you!" Everyone was standing together, drinking water from a kettle to moisten their throats, when suddenly Chen Zilin came to report that Admiral Bai Sihua, the commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Straits Settlements, had asked to see President Chen by name.

"Hard can't work, ready to come soft!" Cui Lin sneered and suggested Chen Jiageng: "Ignore him!" ”

Chen Jiageng was ready to meet him, and asked if he would hand over Thomas and Johnny and another division commander to Bai Sihua.

Lin Jiangshi groaned: "I'm afraid they may not be willing to go back." ”

Cui Lin smiled: "I think so." Chairman Chen, since you insist on seeing Bai Sihua, let's listen to his opinion. If he's just here to ask for someone, then give it back to them. Go, I'll go with you. ”

Bai Sihua and more than a dozen of his subordinates met Chen Jiageng under the hateful eyes of the volunteers. The British are really thick-skinned, and they are shot by thousands of eyes along the way, but they can still change their faces and walk out of the demeanor of a gentleman. What made Cui Lin feel unbelievable was that when he asked Chen Jiageng to ask the Chinese to give up a big boat, he actually used an order tone.

"Dog's head kicked by a donkey?" Cui Lin was furious on the spot, took two steps forward and walked in front of Bai Sihua, glared at him coldly, and said in English: "Commander Bai, are the British so shameless?" ”

Bai Sihua was furious and scolded: "Who are you? I'm talking to President Chen, what's the matter with you? White Commander? Amusing! If you don't know English, don't talk nonsense! ”

Cui Lin's English is really not good, otherwise he wouldn't make a joke about "Commander Bai", Bai Sihua made fun of him for not speaking English well, which made him more and more angry, and he yelled: "Who do you care who I am?" If you want to escape, then respectfully plead, **raising, if you have something to ask someone to return this virtue! ”

"You-"

"What are you? Provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will shoot you now! How? Do you still dare to do it? Cui Lin stared aggressively at Bai Sihua's subordinates who wanted to carry guns, with a look of contempt.

Bai Sihua's face turned blue with anger, and Tiantian said to Chen Jiageng with his lips: "President Chen, you have an old Chinese saying, which is called rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, do you really want to force us to a dead end?" ”

Cui Lin was even more angry when he heard this, and his eyebrows were raised and he was about to open his mouth to refute it, Chen Jiageng was worried that he would really kill Bai Sihua and make a mess, so he grabbed his arm and said, "Captain Cui, let me have a good talk with him." The overall situation has been decided, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches. ”

Cui Lin glared at Bai Sihua, and his cold eyes made the latter dare not look at each other. Seeing that he avoided his gaze, he snorted coldly and took a few steps back to stand beside Chen Jiageng, and said in his heart: Mom, I have killed so many overseas Chinese, this matter can't be just settled, I have to think of a way - Chen Jiageng has already decided to compromise in his heart. On the one hand, the Cadet Army has prepared enough ships for this rescue, and there is really no problem in vacating one; In both cases, the rescue operation is half the battle, and if it falls short, it will be too cost-effective. He said to Bai Sihua: "General, things have come to this point, and I don't need to hide anything from you. It is indeed difficult to vacate a boat, but it is no problem to carry a few hundred people. However, this was subject to the consent of Consul General Mitterrand and Colonel Grant. We were able to stop this evacuation operation thanks to the help of the U.S. government. We are just civilians, and even if the Japanese detect it, it is nothing, but you are soldiers-generals, and you should understand the difference between the two. ”

Bai Sihua certainly understands the difference. The Chinese are nominally just civilians, and the US government helped civilians escape the war zone, and the Japanese army was aware of it, and there was no excuse to cause trouble. But they are different, as soldiers, if they are discovered by the Japanese army, then the Japanese army can forcibly board the ship, and even use this as an excuse to detain the American evacuation ship. They would like the United States and Japan to go to war, but the question is whether the Americans are willing? "I've already looked for Colonel Grant, and he told me to come to you. President Chen, I know that you are very embarrassed, please help for the sake of the British Empire taking care of you for so many years," Bai Sihua said, finally bowing his proud head.

Cui Lin sneered: "Isn't it okay to do this earlier?" What kind of big braid garlic is there?! I thought to myself, "If it's just a few hundred people, hehe, I can find a chance to win it!" Well, take it to Guangzhou, and have a public trial! Not bad! ”

Chen Jiageng quietly reached out and tugged at his trouser leg, and said in a deep voice: "This matter still needs the permission of Consul General Thomas and Colonel Grant, you wait here for a while, I'll ask them." ”

Bai Sihua looked at the Chinese team that was boarding the ship, and found that there were at least tens of thousands of people who had not completed the boarding, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then please!" ”

Cui Lin accompanied Chen Jiageng to the dock, and after leaving Bai Sihua and the others at a certain distance, he said to Chen Jiageng: "President Chen, promise them, but the number of people must be controlled." Mom, I killed so many of us, and I have to ask for an explanation. The blood of our Chinese cannot be shed in vain, no matter who he is, as long as he gets on our ship, whether he kills or chops, he can't help them! ”

Chen Jiageng turned his head to look at him, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and said softly: "Captain Cui, this time we can think of a piece." ”

Cui Lin was overjoyed and said, "President Chen, do you think so too?" ”

Chen Jiageng nodded and said: "Those who offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away!" I haven't forgotten this sentence! ”

"This sentence was also said by our commander-in-chief."

"Is it Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun?"

"yes!"

"I have admired Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun for a long time, and I have long wanted to go to Guangzhou to pay a visit. Hey, this time thanks to your apprentices, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

As soon as Chen Jiageng, Cui Lin and others returned to the dock, they were surrounded by Lin Jiangshi and Zhang Liangfeng. Tan Kah Kee asked Cui Lin to explain to them that he went to find Thomas and Grant himself. About twenty minutes later, when there were only more than 10,000 Chinese people left on the ship, and Bai Sihua was already in a hurry, he returned to the place where he had just met, accompanied by Cui Lin, and gave an affirmative answer that he could take with him up to 300 British officers and men, but on the premise that they must surrender their weapons and disguise themselves as American nationals. After the last moment, Chen Jiageng said to Bai Sihua: "General, have you offended Consul General Toms and Colonel Grant?" They have a lot of criticism for you?! ”

Bai Sihua was slightly embarrassed, he thought about it seriously and said: "Three hundred people is three hundred, but since we are dressed as American expatriates, then please let us stay with the Americans, we will ask for this one!" ”

Chen Jiageng smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "There is no problem. ”

Cui Lin twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in his heart: "This Bai Sihua is not stupid, he knows that we may plot against them, but he would never have thought that the US Marines who protect them are actually our people, hehe, despicable and shameless British, you just wait to go to Guangzhou to accept the public trial!" ”
