Chapter 426: Informal Contact
Han Lin also heard that the attitude of the French was obviously to muddy the waters, take Zhang Xiaolin's transport convoy, and the day before yesterday encountered the excuse of attacking first, and plugged the mouths of the Japanese.
Tracing back to the source, the reason for this situation is that you Japanese ignored the authority and dignity of France and took the lead in attacking Zhang Xiaolin's convoy within the French Concession.
Don't think we don't know, the mastermind behind the last attack is you Japanese, based on the 6.5 mm caliber bullet casings left at the scene, it can be easily judged that it is the bullet of the Taisho 11 light machine gun.
Your sneak attack caused more than 30 casualties in Sanxin Company, and lost millions of cigarettes and vehicles.
"Mr. Major, there is a situation I would like to explain to all of you in advance that in fact, before Zhang Xiaolin's transport convoy was attacked, the freight yard of Tongyuan Commercial Bank was attacked once, and many Japanese citizens were killed at that time, and there was only one survivor, who identified Zhang Xiaolin from Sanxin Company as sending people to commit the murder."
"We have photos of the scene and records of the coffin purchased, which are enough to prove that the injured party was Tongyuan Commercial Bank at the earliest, not Zhang Xiaolin and Sanxin Company. We hope that Japanese personnel will also participate in the investigation of the attack and that it is also the responsibility of our Consulate General in Shanghai to protect the lives and property of Japanese citizens. Kagezo said lightly.
In fact, when the attitude of the British Consulate General in Shanghai and the French Consulate General in Shanghai was revealed, he knew that it would definitely not work to deal with the matter through formal channels.
He also named Zhang Xiaolin by name, you don't have to confuse the concept, if Zhang Xiaolin hadn't made the first move, we Japanese would not have been able to attack his transport convoy.
The reason why he said this was also to show that the Japanese citizens in Shanghai had no intention of deliberately provoking the authorities of the French Concession, and that relations had to be maintained.
"The testimony of a witness cannot be determined that Sanxin Company first attacked Tongyuan Commercial Bank, is there any other evidence to support his statement? And since he is a survivor, he asked him to go to the police department to assist in the investigation, which will help solve the case. Smith asked.
"Unfortunately, this witness was also killed in last night's attack, and we do not have direct evidence at this time." Kagesashi shook his head and said.
"Since Tongyuan Commercial Bank encountered such an attack, it should have reported it to the police department at that time, but the police department of our French Concession did not receive any report from this company and did not know about this matter."
"Since we chose not to report the case at that time, and we can't find evidence or witnesses at present, Mr. Kagezo will not accept this matter if he raises this matter now." François said expressionlessly.
"Out of respect for the Japanese government, we will warn Sanxin Company to calm down, but we hope that the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai will also restrain the Japanese in Shanghai, whether it is the public concession or the French concession, there can be no such large-scale armed conflict, otherwise we will inevitably take tough measures." Brell followed.
That's the coffin!
The authorities in the Public Concession and the French Concession will put pressure on Zhang Xiaolin not to continue to take retaliatory measures, but in the same way, the Japanese can no longer pursue this matter, and there is still such a situation, that is, to provoke the authority of Britain, the United States and France.
"The US government does not want similar incidents to happen again, and we ask all parties to maintain a restrained attitude and take positive measures to maintain the prosperity of the Shanghai concession area, stabilize the social order in the concession area, and ensure the safety of the lives and property of overseas Chinese in Shanghai." Smith said.
For the sake of their own interests, the United States, Britain, and France actually worked together to suppress the arrogance of the Japanese invaders on Chinese soil.
After drinking a cup of coffee, Kagesa Zhenzhao got up to say goodbye, and when he left the small café, he glanced at Liu Nina, and the female spy understood what he meant.
"Ying Zuojun, although I don't know the ins and outs behind these things, but I know that the concession authorities and Sanxin Company have deep interests involved, Sanxin Company's tobacco revenue is tens of millions every year, and the concession can get at least one-tenth, which is the pillar source of financial revenue, and the officials of the concession have not made a lot of profits from Sanxin Company."
"You Japanese burned the goods and vehicles of Sanxin Company, and it was not only Zhang Xiaolin who lost, but also the concession authorities themselves. Tongyuan Commercial Bank, which is the opposite of Sanxin Company, will not bring any benefits to the concession authorities, and in this case, the attitude of the concession authorities will also affect the attitude of the country behind it. Of course, they did not support the demands of the Japanese side. ”
"With your ingenuity, you must have been able to guess the attitude of the three of them before you came to the club, and I don't think it's necessary to communicate this ineffective way!" Han Lin sent Ying Zuo Zhenzhao downstairs and said next to his car.
"Han Lin, after all, you are not a diplomat, you don't know the doorway of this kind of informal contact, and the conversation we had just now was just giving each other a step. I know that the concession authorities and Sanxin Company do have interests involved, but at the level of the state and the state, this interest is negligible, and Zhang Xiaolin, as a ruffian hooligan, is just a pawn that can be sacrificed at any time. ”
"The diplomats of Britain, the United States and France have put on such a posture because of a series of actions by the empire in China, especially the recent events in North China, which have given Western countries a certain sense of threat, and the main target of Britain and France is Germany, and the United States is behind closed doors and no one helps."
"In this international environment, they don't dare to really turn their faces with the Japanese Empire, but the resources of the empire are restricted by Western countries, and we don't dare to really turn their faces with them, and appropriate concessions are a common means in diplomatic negotiations." Kagesa said.
This statement is more interesting, the military attaché of the Consulate General in Shanghai of Britain, the United States and France is working together to suppress Japan, which is tantamount to using the topic to play, and they take Sanxin Company as the carrier of their own attitude, so as to tell the Japanese side that Western countries are different from the Jinling government, and our interests are not allowed to be infringed upon by Japan, so the matter ends here.
As the military attache of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Kagezo Zhenzhao knew that the other party was partial to Sanxin Company, but he still wanted to show the attitude of the Japanese side, which also conveyed a meaning, Japan will not take the initiative to do provocative acts, but it cannot give in because of the suppression of Western countries.
