The people in the Sixing warehouse can't be allowed to run away, and the Japanese military has given a clear message that those soldiers must not be let go.

Consul Benson sat in a chair in front of the window, smoking his beloved briar pipe. The whole pipe had already been pulped under the daily rubbing of his hand.

The gorgeous, naturally formed flame pattern on the already valuable pipe has a gradient characteristic.

The curling green smoke swept by, and his sad face was somewhat blurred.

This time the face of the Japanese is really ......

According to radio and newspaper reports, everyone knows that the Japanese used the Marines and Shigedo Daiaki's brigade in the final battle of the Songhu battlefield, but did not capture a small Sixing warehouse.

With the loss of more than a dozen tanks alone, it seems that the Japanese are really ......

Smoking his pipe, Consul Benson thought vaguely.

However, the Ministry of Industry received a notice from the Japanese that if the soldiers in the Sixing warehouse were not left, then the Japanese army would march into Shanghai.

In line with the intention of the concession, of course, the Japanese army should not be allowed to enter the concession, the reason is, of course, the refugees who have fled here, but more importantly, the interests of various countries in the concession.

At that time, the International Merchants and the British Army will be ordered to seal off the vicinity of the Sixing Warehouse, and make sure that not one of the defenders inside escapes.

The "International Chamber of Commerce" here is not a commercial department, it is the army of the concession in the old Shanghai period, and the earliest name is the Shanghai Volunteer Corps.

So do you want to follow that guy's arrangement......

Whether to let go of Zhang Sixing and his subordinates is a problem.

If on the face of it, the blackmailed Consul Benson was at a disadvantage. But the problem is that if Zhang Sixing is captured, then the Japanese army will be satisfied, and the concession countries will also be satisfied.

The only concern was that the Japanese would use this as a reason to occupy the concession, and that would be a big problem.

But what if they don't occupy it?

As long as they retreat to the concession, then they will inevitably be surrounded by the merchants of all nations and the British army, and they are not afraid that he will run away. And the British GI and the German officer who were detained by him at that time could be rescued.

At that time, the European countries, of course, will look at themselves differently as the one who caught the bank thief. In addition, the Japanese will be even happier, after all, it is reported that the Germans are the main ones who caused the losses of the Japanese.

"Hmph, another self-righteous little guy with no political acumen at all."

So now...... Now I will wait for the person sent to the Japanese consulate to negotiate and ask for a reply from the commander of the Japanese side, Matsui Ishine.

It was hoped that Zhang Sixing and Zhang Sixing's seizure would be exchanged for the Japanese not attacking the concession.

Looking at the sunset on the horizon, Consul Benson silently endured the long period of time before the matter came to an end.

Soon, Xie Jinyuan from the Sixing Warehouse slowly put down the phone.

He stood there dumbfounded, then sat down slowly. Subconsciously took off his military hat and inserted his hand into his hair.

According to the order, he was to lead the defenders of the Four Lines Warehouse to withdraw from the Four Lines Warehouse at midnight. The problem is that he needs to do one thing, he has to hand over Zhang Sixing to the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the concession.

What this portends is that it is ostensibly to hold accountable a bank robber that all European countries want to catch. In fact, I am afraid that it is also a request from the Japanese side.

The reason is in exchange for the safe departure of the lone army of the four elements.

From the bottom of his heart, Xie Jinyuan refused this matter.

They are all brothers in the trenches, so they handed over Zhang Sixing like this, how could they bear it.

In addition, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the 87th Division, others also need to be handed over to the control of the International Merchant Group of the Ministry of Industry.

This, this is clearly the life of the brothers.

Although the superior on the other end of the phone, when he gave him the order, said it very clearly. If there were no people left to vent the anger of the Japanese, I am afraid that Xie Jinyuan and his officers and soldiers would not be able to leave the concession.

"Could it be...... Should you all forget that this is China, and those people have just finished a battle to defend their homeland and country. You guys...... You ......"

He stood up suddenly, his arms fluttering, and he frantically lifted everything in the office to the ground.

After emitting a burst of evil fire, Xie Jinyuan stood there dejectedly, and then sat on the chair with weak legs and buttocks, his hands in the black hair.

At this time...... If I really want to do what I was told, and help the British disarm, then I am still human.

However, if you don't do it, if you let go of the miscellaneous barracks, you will undoubtedly have to go to the top tank with the officers and soldiers of the 87th Division.

These conditions are as difficult to solve as a dilemma.

He lifted up his voice and cried out,

"Someone Coming"

The people outside the office had apparently heard the voices inside, but no one dared to come in and disturb him. It wasn't until he called for someone that the office door was opened.

As soon as the people outside saw the scene inside, they wanted to come in and pack up the things in the office.

But Xie Jinyuan just shook his hand and said a little weakly,

"No, no need, let's evacuate the four lines of warehouses at 0:00 tonight, you ......"

Stoop down to pick up the military hat from the ground and put it back on his head. Then he waved his hand a little weakly, and issued the order in a somewhat hoarse voice,

"Go upstairs and downstairs to inform, all departments will be rebuilt, organize equipment, be on guard at any time, and go to someone else to invite Mr. Zhang to me."

At this moment, Zhang Sixing was already ready to retreat, lying on a few bags of grain and falling asleep.

As for the Ministry of Industry, the British consul, and the International Chamber of Commerce, there was no weight in his mind.

"Sir, Sir, Sir, Head Xie sent someone to invite you."

The old tobacco pouch Li Youtian is a smart man, and when Company Commander Tao was asked to return to the building, he felt that the taste was wrong. Later, when someone notified Zhang Sixing to go to Xie Jinyuan's office, he was more careful.

Looking at Zhang Sixing, who was rubbing his numb face on the grain bag and didn't open his mouth for a while, he carefully reminded on the side,

"Chief Zhang, take a few people with you, at least bring a few foreign devils."

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Marcus, Hansen, who was promised by Zhang Sixing to become cooperative. Raul and Tetsujiro Yamaoka also saw that the situation was not quite right.

In particular, I heard from the people of the 87th Division that they were going to disarm, and the pistol team returned to the third floor, and the snipers also returned their sniper rifles and returned to their respective buildings.

In his mind, the miscellaneous army can't deal with the Central Army, but the Central Army can't deal with foreigners, and it's been like this for hundreds of years.

Looking at the old cigarette pouch Li Youtian's earnest appearance, Zhang Sixing smiled and spoke,

"Seriously, who gave me a cigarette to smoke."

Hansen on the side. Raul took out his cigarette case and lit it for him with a lighter.

took a deep breath of cigarette, and was about to speak, Guan Shijie's rough northeast accent came,

"Damn, these things done by the Central Army have all been built, sir, aren't they holding back the bad."

As the voice looked, Zhang Sixing also saw Lu Feizhang and Cao Zijin, and quietly nodded in his heart and commanded,

"Old Tobacco Pouch"

"Yes"

"Stir-fry a few dishes for Lao Tzu, take two bottles of good wine, and Lao Tzu is going to have a drink with Head Xie."
