Chapter 342
Preston and Marnson led their men to ambush the searching police in the darkened alleys. It's just hand-to-hand, even if there are still some garrisons in these people's ranks, they still disappear silently into the dark alleys and alleys.
Even if it's a little loud occasionally, it's more than two waves of Japanese. It's quiet. The British Concession ushered in daylight amid the scattered gunfire.
That night, everyone in the British Concession did not sleep well, or rather, everyone in Tianjin did not sleep well. The British Concession was still tightly sealed by the British, with checkpoints set up on the roads, and everyone was asked to stay at home and wait for the police to come and search.
Where would a small family dare to oppose such a thing? Even when the police came to search, they took away some of the family's floating wealth, they were accompanied throughout the whole process, cautiously, for fear of giving the police a chance to make trouble. Then it won't be a little floating wealth that can be solved, it will really kill people.
】
Small households are incapable, but those who are high-ranking and big-eyed feel that they have a head and a face in Tianjin. And there is also some face in the UK, how can I follow these police to search indiscriminately.
But they didn't expect the British to be so tough and not give face to anyone. Even the garrison stood right next to it.
And the reason why the British are so tough is that when they assemble in the morning, they find that many police officers have disappeared silently last night. And these people are the ones who are bold in the concession.
So early in the morning, I had to search the mansions of these high-ranking families. It's useless for anyone to say. What's more, the British don't care about these Chinese at all.
As for what happened in the middle of the search? Let's not mention it for the time being, let's just say that Wang Wenwu is still thinking about dawn. The search was searched, and he could quietly get out of the British Concession by himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the street, he was stopped by the checkpoint.
Wang Wenwu only looked at it on the street, and a corpse on the street told Wang Wenwu. It's not so easy to stand out in broad daylight.
It seems that now the British are in a very anxious situation. It seems that if you don't get the money back, you won't give up. It seems that we can only think of a way at night.
is just the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, because Wang Wenwu's actions at night were not found out. But as soon as someone comes to the door, they will find that the occupants inside are wrong.
The head of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry is now hiding in his house, and he can be said to be in a panic all day. In the British Concession, he became completely blind and deaf. Now it is known that the British have set up checkpoints outside, and if there is the slightest mistake, they will be detained.
His subordinates reported to him that they saw many Japanese people being detained for no reason at the checkpoint. The reason for this is that he left his body in front of the HSBC building.
But at that time, I really didn't have the time and manpower to handle things well. Now that the British have seized the handle, I don't know how the country is reacting now. Should I commit suicide now?
Here's a subordinate reporting back and forth: "Section Chief, let's collect the food in the room." It's only enough for us to eat for a day. The average ammunition for rifles is only thirty rounds, and pistols are fifty. Panasonic just now, Kihaya and Tanaka-kun have lost their breath, and now they can still move sixteen people, eight people are slightly injured, and two people are seriously injured. ”
The person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry was silent for a moment and said, "I know, don't stop sending people outside." Now we have lost contact with headquarters. We had to try to know what was going on outside in order to find an opportunity to leave the British Concession.
And do everything possible to find out where the people of Greater East Asia are now? Why is there no news at all? ”
The group of people in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry has now completely lost their morale, not to mention that the person in charge has sunk himself. So the whole house is in a slump. Their subordinates are still at the mercy of those responsible because of the previous inertia.
And now there is a lot of quarrel in Japan because of this incident. No one pays attention to what the original Juan plan was, and everyone's focus is on the fact that the Juan agency may have really robbed the Tianjin branch of HSBC.
That's why the British reacted so strongly. Everyone is arguing about whether to return this money to the British.
The reason why Japan thinks that the money is in their own hands. Or is it because of the report of the Japanese consul, and the reason why the Japanese consul thinks so, is that he came to a conclusion after knowing how many people from the Juan agency had entered the British concession. On that day, apart from Japan itself, no force in the British Concession had the courage to accomplish such a feat.
I don't know if I was infected by those people in the military department. But at least the courage of these subordinates is never lacking. Therefore, the Japanese consul was not surprised that they could think of robbing HSBC.
The Japanese consul did not know about the Juan organ though. What's going on in those heads? If the plan does not go well, you can rob the bank, even if you choose a bank run by Chinese. Why did you stick to HSBC?
Now the situation is that they succeeded, and such a large sum of money was in the hands of the Japanese. That's an amount that no government will give up. I really don't know how they are now hiding from the British with such a large sum of money in the British Concession. But judging from the current situation in the British Concession, this money is still in his own hands.
Therefore, many elders in Japan quarreled over this money, and even after getting this money, some people came up with a plan for how to distribute it.
While standing here with a red face, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a note from the British.
The Japanese Foreign Minister holds a note from the British. He said to everyone, "Everyone, it's time to come up with the results. What attitude should I have in response to the British note? ”
It was in the room, and everyone fell silent. When the foreign minister repeated his previous words again, seeing that there was still no answer, he said: "It's better to mention the Holy Judgment!" ”
At this time, the military department said: "Now this money is still in the British Concession." News from the consul in Tianjin. We're not sure we'll be able to get the money out of the way. If we can get this money out of the British Concession, then talk about what you think of the foreign minister! ”
Of course, the foreign minister wanted to say that it was not good, after all, it was he who had to face the British. However, many people present nodded. The Japanese foreign minister could only nod in agreement.
The Japanese foreign minister said: "Then you have to hurry, I won't be able to delay for long on the British side!" ”
After speaking, he directly picked up the note and went to meet the British envoy. And the conference room behind him was lively again.
