Yinglin Club Residence.

After a lazy sleep at home, it is rare to have such a relaxing time, and after lunch, Han Lin came to the club.

After the fall of the concession, the merchants of European and American countries no longer had the former glory, and in the future, they would have to wait for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in the concentration camps of the Japanese army.

Under the brutal rule of the Japanese and the shameless plunder of Wang's puppet government, other members have lost interest in participating in social activities, and their operation will definitely be greatly affected.

He was still hesitant to temporarily close the club in Shanghai.

Wang Qian, the foreman, was able to keep the club in order by himself, so he didn't let Shen Xueyan come back, he wanted to ask Wang Qian what he meant.

"Boss, I think it's better to keep the club, there are also many Japanese among our members, especially the diplomats of the Consulate General in Shanghai and the agents of the chaebol, I get along well with them, and my personal safety will not be threatened."

"You will often come to Shanghai in the future, once the club is disbanded, so many waiters have not been placed, this will have a very bad impact on you, many sisters will lose their asylum because of this, some of them took the initiative to come to me after I was the foreman,"

"It's just that the people who will receive them in the future are traitors and Japanese, there is nothing to be afraid of, I am confident that the club will be self-sufficient, and even profitable." Wang Qi said.

As the only semi-official international club in the Shanghai concession area, the Yinglin Club has an advantage that cannot be replaced by other entertainment venues, even if it does not hold large-scale social activities, during the New Year's holidays, the concession authorities, major consulates and chambers of commerce in Shanghai, as well as banks, also hold small-scale activities here.

The club has the funds of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Yamashiro Government and diplomatic institutions of various countries, and the concession authorities give some sponsorship from time to time, and the financial aspect is quite generous, in order to provide good service, up to now, the recruitment of waiters, bands, kitchens, logistics and other positions has reached more than 300 people.

After Wang Qi served as the foreman, he also undertook small banquets, cocktail parties and balls held by members, for which there were a group of dancers who lived in the club. They are all women who do not want to be oppressed by major dance hall nightclubs, bullied by gangs, and want to rely on the protection of clubs.

Once the club is temporarily closed, it is estimated that the vast majority of people are reluctant to follow to the mountain city, and most of them will choose to stay in the concession and go to major entertainment venues to make a living.

With the sharp deterioration of the situation in Shanghai, high prices, and currency depreciation, life will definitely become miserable after these people lose their jobs.

Everyone also contributes to the club, I really can't bear to give up like this, if she continues to insist on running this club, at least everyone can worry about food and clothing, and can also bring a good reputation to Han Lin.

"You are thinking about me, you deserve to be my confidante, you have to think about it, it doesn't matter to me whether the club is profitable or not, I will give you funding to support it."

"The point is, the situation in the future is not as good as it is now, my influence will continue to weaken, you need to serve those Japanese invaders and traitors and lackeys, these beasts and beasts are not the original members, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to adapt to this change." Han Lin said.

In the past, the waiters of the Yinglin Club, playing the club's golden signboard, no one dared to provoke in Shanghai, there was the protection of patrolling, the gang avoided it, the Japanese and traitors also had to look at each other differently, once people develop habits, they are afraid that it is not easy to adapt to the new environment.

"Don't worry, I do things within my ability, I never be impulsive, I'm my man, I don't think about who you think about, anyway, people in the outside world have acquiesced in our relationship." Wang Qi smiled and said.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Smith and Perez arrived at the club.

The three of them are old friends, in addition to the involvement of work and economic interests, the close contact over the years, helping each other, has also become a relationship that has nothing to talk about.

"I plan to start the relocation work from the beginning of May, and relocate the equipment and personnel of the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Factory, as well as some raw materials, to Qimen County, where there is a guerrilla unit under my command, a guerrilla unit equipped with American equipment, and a storage and support base." Han Lin said.

"You can arrange the relocation, anyway, the pharmaceutical factory in Chuncheng is running well now, and I don't expect this pharmaceutical factory in Shanghai to make much money. I'm more concerned that if you're going to relocate your industry now, is it saying that Japan is going to war with the United States? Smith asked hurriedly.

The reason why Han Lin wanted to relocate the pharmaceutical factory in the concession must be in consideration of the major changes in the relationship between Japan and the United States, and if Japan made up its mind to go to war with the United States, the concession would naturally cease to exist.

"It's just a precautionary measure, to avoid the war when the war comes, the situation is getting more and more tense, I got the news that Japan is preparing to enter the southern part of the French Indochina region and seize Cam Ranh Bay as a base, which is still in the preparatory stage, and when Germany and the Soviet Union fight, this matter will enter the implementation stage." Han Lin said.

It is impossible for him to say conclusively that Germany is going to attack the Soviet Union on 22 June, and Japan is going to bomb your Pearl Harbor and your US Pacific Fleet on 7 December.

Of course, he is a traverser, there is no other auxiliary plug-in, he does not bring his own computer or library, etc., and it is not easy to remember these key time nodes.

He didn't remember anything about the specific battle plans, such as the Barbarossa plan for Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, which was beyond his memory, unless he knew that he was going to travel back in time to the Anti-Japanese War.

"These difficult Japanese, while negotiating with the US government, are still continuing to invade Southeast Asia, if they enter the southern part of the French Indochina region, especially to occupy the deep-water port of Cam Ranh Bay, their aircraft carrier fleet can threaten the security of the Philippines, and the US government will absolutely not give in to this, and will definitely adopt oil embargo measures, and the possibility of entering a state of war cannot be ruled out."

"Some time ago, you informed the Naval Intelligence Bureau that Germany would go to war with the Soviet Union in the near future, and the US government attaches great importance to this matter, and the British government is about to be unable to support the attack of Germany, and it is all counting on the assistance of the Lend-Lease Act of the United States, and if Germany and the Soviet Union go to war, this will inevitably reduce the pressure on Britain."

"The Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Admiralty have given us instructions to the Naval Intelligence Bureau several times, urging us to obtain this information as soon as possible, which is very important to the British government, and it is also important for our US government to provide support to the United Kingdom, do you have accurate information?" Smith asked.

"The accurate information has not yet been confirmed, but Germany has already begun to prepare for war, it is estimated that it will not wait too long, it is too difficult to obtain such information, and it is useless for you to be in a hurry."

"Peres, I want to ask you for a favor, transport the five thousand boxes of pig bristles I stored in Shanghai to the United States for storage at one time, and your property in the concession should also be transferred to the United States as soon as possible, war may come at any time, this practice can minimize the loss." Han Lin said.

"Five thousand boxes of bristles? Oh my God, this is an absolute strategic material, and you're exaggerating! Perez said in surprise.
