2-2

In August of the 27th year of the Republic of China, the summer is about to pass, but the heat in Shanghai is still hot.

Almost a year after the fall, the lives of Shanghai citizens have not undergone earth-shaking changes, and the refugees have left the relief sites in the concession one after another and returned home, only to be hovered like a sultry weather by foreign rule, pressing on the chest of every Chinese, and unable to disperse for a long time.

Liang Chengjie stood in front of the office window on the twelfth floor of the Upper East Bank Building, looking at the bustling crowd, and his heart was irritated. After the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, although the Nationalist Government withdrew, there was still hope, and the business people were cautiously watching the invitation of the Japanese; because they did not get the cooperation of any well-known personage, the "Dadao City Government" organized by the Japanese in Pudong had no influence, and the whole of Shanghai was still directly managed by the Japanese.

After the Sino-Japanese War, Japanese forces entered China in a big way, spies and intelligence personnel were everywhere, the Japanese boasted that they had thoroughly studied the Chinese and built a huge intelligence network, but they greatly underestimated the difficulty of managing the giant city of Shanghai in every detail, but in the past few decades, Shanghai has developed from a small coastal town to a central city of economy and trade in the Far East, where the public concession dominated by Britain and the United States and the French concession managed by the French consulate are still the same. Japan has to deal not only with China, but also with more complex international relations. Only a few short months later, the Japanese military felt stretched thin and had to put the plan of using the Chinese to manage the Chinese back on the table.

Last month, under the pretext that the Shanghai Military Police Command was secretly assisting the Nationalist Government in the transfer of financial assets, the Shanghai Military Police Command ordered the Bank to forcibly freeze its financial flows and order it to suspend business for rectification. Liang Chengjie knew that his repeated procrastination was coming to an end.

"Daddy!"

Liang Chengjie turned around, it was his baby daughter Liang Xinyi.

"Why are you here?"

"Of course, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!"

"Happy event?" Liang Chengjie looked at the corner of Liang Xinyi's mouth with a smile, "Did Zhao Xingan send a letter?" ”

Liang Xinyi's face changed, and she said, "Who is rare about his letter, this time, we are completely separated." ”

"Really?"

"The family and country are broken, and there is no love for children and daughters! His exact words. ”

"It's good, it's okay to divide it, so as not to make you unhappy."

Liang Chengjie sighed in his heart, Liang Xinyi fell in love with Zhao Xing'an, he was against it, but this baby daughter has been disobedient since she was a child, the more you object, the more she likes it. As a result, today, the two are really separated, and Liang Chengjie often thinks of this prospective son-in-law.

He knew that Zhao Xingan actually didn't let go of Liang Xinyi, and the reason why he broke up with Liang Xinyi was actually the same reason that Liang Chengjie opposed them being together back then: his profession was too dangerous.

Zhao Xing'an was a native of Manchuria, served in the Northeast Army, and was a pilot in the Aviation Administration of the Nationalist Government. He was sent to France by Zhang Xueliang to learn flight driving at a young age, and returned to China after graduation to become a flight instructor of the Northeast Army.

Last summer, Liang Xinyi and Liang Liqun, who were studying in Fudan, went to Hangzhou to play together, and met Zhao Xing'an, who was teaching at Jianqiao Aviation School, and the two fell in love at first sight. Zhao Xing'an has good character and knowledge, but there must be a war between China and Japan, and he is reluctant to take this risk with his precious daughter with a lifetime of happiness.

Speaking of the story of Liang Xinyi and Zhao Xingan, he not only became annoyed with the big-hearted son Liang Liqun. I met Zhao Xing'an in Hangzhou that day, because Liang Liqun studied at Aurora University run by the French church, and Zhao Xing'an once studied in France and interned in the French Army Air Corps, so the more the two of them chatted, the more speculative they became, or Liang Liqun proposed first, the little sister might as well make friends with Officer Zhao! Study in France, soar in the blue sky, export chapters, tall and handsome! A few young girls in their prime will not have a good impression of such a promising young man?

With the status of the Liang family in Shanghai, Liang Xinyi disdained how many high-ranking giants wanted to propose marriage, but this time, under Liang Liqun's matchmaking, she fell in love with Zhao Xing'an.

Liang Liqun came back and happily introduced the trip to Hangzhou, seeing Liang Xinyi's budding and radiant appearance, Liang Chengjie knew that something was happening, and sure enough, Liang Liqun's heart was as big as a fight, and he didn't even notice the relationship between his sister and Zhao Xingan.

Liang Chengjie was angry, and scolded Liang Liqun with a cold face, this is common sense if he doesn't marry a soldier in troubled times! Liang Liqun didn't dare to speak, but Liang Xinyi was a hundred dissatisfied, Zhao Xing'an was not an ordinary soldier, he was a flight instructor at the Central Aviation School, doing the work of training pilots, purchasing aircraft, and flight management, and often going to Europe to investigate, and the future must be great, she pulled her father's sleeve and stared, and played a package ticket, as long as Liang Chengjie saw Zhao Xingan, he would definitely turn his anger into joy!

Liang Chengjie was deeply worried about Liang Xinyi's simplicity, and Zhao Xing'an was carrying too many things.

He lost his home in 918 and was forced to stay away from his homeland, and his heart was full of family hatred; The 500,000 Northeast Army retreated without a fight in the face of the Japanese invaders, and he rejoined the army, carrying a national hatred! With such a heavy burden, how to fall in love and get married? Even if he is in love and married, how many can a romantic relationship come in in his life?

Liang Chengjie endured his anger and invited Zhao Xingan to meet at home, wanting to meet the "perfect person" in his daughter's heart in person. Unexpectedly, at first sight, Zhao Xingan talked generously, behaved decently, and was knowledgeable and responsible, although Liang Chengjie was dissatisfied, he acquiesced to his daughter's free romance.

However, he still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that Liang Xinyi was a teenager, and the two of them were not in the same city, and after a long time, this matter would fade, but he didn't expect that after a year of falling in love, Liang Xinyi was about to graduate from university, and the two of them became sweet and sweet, and even began to talk about marriage.

If it weren't for the start of the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai on August 13, maybe the two would have been married.

The war is about to start, the government is rearmament, Liang Chengjie deliberately did not mention the marriage, and Zhao Xingan did not mention it. Liang Xinyi had several seizures for this incident, but after all, there was no result, and in the end she could only say goodbye to Zhao Xingan and two people in tears, one was forced to stay in Shanghai by her father, and the other plane rushed into the blue sky and started a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

It was Zhao Xingan who proposed that the war was about to start, and the two of them needed a little space, and Miss Liang blew up the pot on the spot. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never been rejected, but she was kicked away in a wholehearted relationship, she couldn't accept it, and immediately announced that the two broke up.

After Zhao Xing'an left gloomily, Liang Chengjie realized that he actually liked this enthusiastic young man very much, and he secretly hoped that Zhao Xing'an would be safe and sound, if one day the war against Japan was won and the country was peaceful, he would support the wishes of these two young people.

But soon, a discovery made Liang Chengjie furious, it turned out that although Liang Xinyi announced that there was no longer Zhao Xing'an in the world, and Zhao Xing'an did leave Shanghai and had no contact with Liang Xinyi, but his influence was everywhere. After several searches, Liang Chengjie finally learned that Liang Xinyi's patriotic enthusiasm was no longer limited to the people in the Northeast who resented the Japanese and sympathized with the fall of their homeland.

Liang Xinyi's identity background can't be hidden, Liang Chengjie immediately sent someone to Qingpu to bring Liang Xinyi, who had just been registered, back to the Liang Mansion. For this matter, Liang Xinyi turned her face on the spot, crying bitterly for being born in this unfortunate and authoritarian family, and every day she had to jump out of the window to join the revolution and go on a hunger strike to rebel against the feudal family, making Liang Chengjie, who was awe-inspiring and prestigious, embarrassed.

Fortunately, the war developed rapidly, Liang Xinyi went home for only a week, Shanghai fell, whether it was a peddler or a business tycoon, everyone became a slave of the country indiscriminately, and the training class of the Military Command Bureau also disappeared.

Liang Xinyi is coquettish, but she still knows the importance of life and death, stays at home obediently, and no longer goes out, but her face is cloudy every day, and she hasn't shown a smile for several months, so she is happy today, and in a trance, Liang Chengjie thought that she and Zhao Xing'an were reunited.

"Surely you can't guess whose telegram I received today!"

"Oh? Whose? Liang Xinyi's words pulled Liang Chengjie's thoughts back to reality.

"Yes, Liang, home, big, young, master!" Liang Xinyi had to stop every word of her sentence, for fear that Liang Chengjie's ears would not be able to hear clearly.

"Liqun has news?"

Liang Chengjie didn't know what it was like in his heart, he already knew that Nanjing fell, and Liang Liqun fell into the hands of the Japanese; He also knew that the Japanese did everything possible to find Liang Liqun in the huge city of Nanjing and control it, and they also wanted to hold this bargaining chip so that they could have a showdown with themselves.

Idiot, idiot! will actually use the transportation channels of the Military Command Bureau to do business! It's just a business, it's just stupid to be caught, it's just a matter of being caught, and it's just going to fall into the hands of the Japanese!

The more Liang Chengjie thought about it, the more angry he became, and almost had a thought: It's still not as good as this son!

"Dad, why don't you feel so happy?"

Liang Chengjie put down the report in his hand, "What did this rebel say?" ”

"When you mention him, you're grumpy!" Liang Xinyi has long been accustomed to her father's way of speaking, never responding to any questions, just asking.

He said he would be back in Shanghai soon.

"Really? When will it arrive? ”

"Tomorrow afternoon! My eldest brother hasn't been home for more than half a year, and I don't know what I'm busy with in Hong Kong! But he said it and brought us all gifts! Mine, especially wonderful! ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll appoint you as the director of the welcome committee, and how about arranging the reception?"

Liang Xinyi stretched out a hand.

"Do what?"

"Give money, boss! What to do if you don't have money! ”

Liang Chengjie shook his head helplessly, took out the checkbook, and signed a check, "In extraordinary times, pay attention to the impact!" ”

"Uh-huh, pay attention to the impact!" Liang Xinyi parroted, pushed open the door and ran away.

"Damn," Liang Chengjie sat down and lit a cigarette.

His two children, one cowardly and the other stubborn, have a common characteristic: they have a very big heart, and they don't know who to follow.

He should still be happy to see his son again, but he can't be happy, because he knows that a big man in the Japanese Army has arrived in Shanghai and set up a secret intelligence agency in Hongkou, and Yukio Takeuchi and Gu Hengtaro rarely asked him to meet at the same time, which made him feel that his son was too timely to come back!
