153 Mayor of Shanghai (3/3)
The next morning, Shanghai Huangpu Square.
This is the largest square in Shanghai at present, and next to it is the famous Whampoa Military Academy in China.
But now the gates of the military academy are closed, the plaque is smashing to the ground, and the inside has long been looted and is in ruins.
On the ceremonial platform that had already been set up in the square, the inauguration ceremony of the mayor of Shanghai was being held.
Zhou Xingzu wore a white suit, saluted Miyamoto Fifty-two, and received the letter of appointment from the mayor of Shanghai. The letter of appointment was signed by the Hishima Cabinet and issued by Miyamoto himself.
After all, Shanghai is a very important port, and the selection of the mayor needs to be approved by the cabinet of the Japanese island.
However, Miyamoto Fifty-two, who was the head of East China, could have chosen not to attend the inauguration ceremony, but he chose to personally issue the certificate of appointment. for he delighted to see the strong surrendering to him.
At the same time, under the podium, many Shanghai celebrities, as well as Japanese officers, attended the inauguration ceremony.
There are many newspaper reporters in the periphery, raising the camera in their hands and focusing the lens on Zhou Xingzu.
"Dear compatriots, the people of Shanghai."
"I, Zhou someone, am very happy to be able to stand here and speak to you as the new mayor of Shanghai."
"I would like to thank Shogun Miyamoto for his attention and the trust that the Hishima Empire has placed in me, and I will certainly live up to the Emperor's expectations and contribute to the Co-Prosperity Sphere. At the same time, everyone promised that Shanghai would still be as prosperous as before. ”
Zhou Xingzu stood in front of the standing microphone, holding the letter of appointment, and spoke as calmly and confidently as before.
The guests below immediately burst into warm applause and cheered for Zhou Xingzu's speech.
The people of Shanghai in the distance looked at him with disgusted expressions.
"Phew, bastard, big traitor."
"It's not a human thing, why don't you die."
"I used to admire you so much, and now I'm the first to kill you!"
Zhou Xingzu stood on the stage, not unable to see the expressions of the people in the distance, but he still smiled.
The merits and demerits of the free descendants will comment.
He's going to do what he's supposed to do!
After the mayor's inauguration ceremony, Zhou Xingzu and Miyamoto Fifty-two walked into the government building hand in hand, chatting and laughing along the way, looking very happy.
With a hint of flattery, Zhou Xingzu suddenly said: "General Miyamoto, I heard that you like Chinese culture very much. ”
Miyamoto Fifty-two nodded: "Yes, I like Chinese culture very much. ”
"Chinese poetry, idioms, allusions, and even women. There is a kind of beauty that Hijima does not have, and I will never deny that. ”
"People like to pursue beautiful things, and the way I pursue them is to choose to conquer him, hahaha."
Miyamoto's arrogant laughter made Zhou Xingzu's expression even more flattering.
"I wonder if Mr. Miyamoto likes to play mahjong?"
"Mahjong, it's such a waste of time, I prefer Peking Opera."
"I like to watch the flower girl sing on stage and wail behind the scenes, haha."
Zhou Xingzu nodded, and his voice was a little lower: "There is a big opera troupe in Shanghai that is well-known throughout the country, called Jingyuan Opera Troupe, and there is a famous character in it, who is a first-class old student in China, and she is also a beauty. ”
"Do you want to arrange it for the general in the evening?"
Zhou Xingzu's flattering expression made Miyamoto Fifty-two very happy.
He didn't doubt Zhou Xingzu's attitude, because since Zhou Xingzu became mayor of Shanghai, he had been tied to the Japanese Island Empire on a warship. It's normal to please him now.
Because only by currying favor with him can Zhou Xingzu continue his position in Shanghai.
And as a man, even if he is a smart man, he will not refuse a beautiful woman who is sent to the door.
What's more, Miyamoto Fifty-two has self-confidence, and Zhou Xingzu doesn't dare to play any tricks, unless he wants to find death.
patted him on the shoulder: "Mayor Zhou, you will definitely be a good mayor who works hard, and I will leave you with tonight's arrangement." ”
Zhou Xingzu bowed slightly: "Please rest assured, general." ”
Wait until the evening, at the entrance of the Shanghai Grand Theatre.
Zhou Xingzu stood on the steps, waiting for Miyamoto Fifty-two's arrival.
Ding Li was the only one left standing beside him, and Xu Wenqiang was sent out to do things.
Suddenly, Ding Li said in a low voice: "Brother Xing, everything is arranged." ”
"Miss Cheng Aling dragged me to tell you that she loves you all her life."
Zhou Xingzu's heart was a little moved, he didn't expect that in addition to being the heroine of the love character, there would be a woman who made him feel excited in the movie world.
After all, the heroine has an aura, and it is normal for women to take the initiative.
But Cheng Aling
Zhou Xingzu sighed, he is here to do something big today, and he doesn't think about his children's affection.
As for the entire Grand Theater, it was killed by Zhou Xingzu.
As long as Miyamoto Fifty-two dares to come, he will not be able to leave this theater.
And I believe that with Miyamoto Fifty-two's pride, he will not fail to come. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a team of military vehicles to drive to the entrance of the Grand Theater.
Miyamoto Fifty-two got out of a bulletproof car in the middle, followed by two lieutenants and a team of personal guards. Zhou Xingzu immediately greeted him and shook hands with him warmly, but Miyamoto Fifty-two was obviously a little wrong when he saw the audience waiting to enter the venue.
Zhou Xingzu was keenly aware of this, and said with a smile: "General Miyamoto, the popularity of famous characters is prosperous. I can't stop them, and as the mayor of Shanghai, I can't talk about driving people out, that would be too unsympathetic, and now I can only invite the general to have fun with the people. ”
His explanation, coupled with a helpless expression, made Miyamoto Fifty-two not ask again.
The most important thing is Miyamoto Fifty-two, and he doesn't think Zhou Xingzu dares to do anything to him. In addition, many of the people waiting to enter the venue are Shanghai celebrities who have met at the banquet, so there is no need to worry too much.
He followed Zhou Xingzu into the arena through a special passage and arranged to sit down in the VIP area in the first row.
The two lieutenants sat behind Miyamoto Fifty-two, and Zhou Xingzu sat in a position on his right.
Dessert and tea breaks are neatly arranged on the chairs.
A group of pro-soldiers occupied the four corners of the theater, patrolling the crowd with guns.
A team of fifty pro-soldiers, two adjutants, and fifty-two Miyamoto with a saber in tow.
When Zhou Xingzu was talking, he looked at this information intentionally or unintentionally. This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and the certainty in his heart was greater.
The rest of the audience also slowly entered the theater, filling the seats of more than 500 people in the entire Grand Theater.
In the backstage, a group of actors from the Jingyuan Opera Troupe.
Cheng Aling, the old class leader, the younger juniors and more than a dozen people. All of them wore makeup and costumes, knelt in front of the statue of Guan Gong, held high incense, and bowed three times before standing up.
When the country is ruined, the drama is also willing to repay the country!
Standing at the door and waiting for Xu Wenqiang, he silently closed the curtain of the backstage, and stood back beside Zhou Xingzu again.
The big drama begins.
