On July 7, the third anniversary of the "July 7 Incident", people from all walks of life in the Kuomintang and the red base areas organized various activities to express that they would remember this day and fight to the end without compromise!

The atmosphere in the Chinese community in Shanghai and Haihai was a little depressing, because the Japanese army and the diaspora were frantically celebrating their "victory"!

In the Huhai Concession, it was a different story, where patriotic Chinese organizations from all walks of life and various universities and middle schools, including Fudan University, organized anti-war propaganda activities.

It was supposed to cause congestion and even riots in some sections of the road as similar events in the past, but this time it was very orderly and did not cause any large-scale vicious incidents.

All this is because according to the newly issued "Concession Public Security Management Regulations", which stipulates in detail that mass gatherings or processions exceeding a certain scale should be reported to the police in advance, including the purpose of the assembly, the location or route of the assembly, the expected number of participants, and the preset security measures.

After the application is approved, the police department will dispatch corresponding police forces to the scene according to these to help maintain order and protect the personal and property safety of the participants, venue facilities, roadside shops and passers-by.

Because of the particularity of the day of July 7, three days in advance, the police station re-announced the regulations in the "Concession Gazette" and major newspapers, and announced the telephone number of the application and the address of the department responsible for accepting the declaration at the bureau headquarters and each sub-bureau.

Originally, many senior police officers were a little worried, worried that those clubs and students who organized rallies and marches would not come to declare, but would go directly to the streets, which would make the police very passive; But the development of the matter relieved everyone - since the day the announcement was issued, there have been people who have come to declare, and everyone said: I believe in the current police station!

Over the course of three days, the police station had received more than 50 declarations, ranging from dozens to hundreds of people involved in the rally, and even a joint rally organized by several universities, with the number of people reaching 2,000!

After confirming that the purpose of these rallies was to "remember the third anniversary of the July 7 Incident," the police department's security department and the explosion prevention department, which were responsible for arranging the rally, all of them complied with the rally and even took the initiative to help arrange the venue, which surprised and moved the organizers of the rally.

——

On the morning of July 7, although it was Sunday, the personnel in the police station were basically all on duty, and today's public security tasks were relatively heavy, and the public security department was too busy to apply for help, and all departments of the police station received assistance tasks, and organized according to the plan, and slice to carry out the task.

On the same morning, the duty room of the Ministry of Industry Bureau received an unexpected phone call, and Yoshiaki Miura, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, personally called and claimed that Senior General Nishio Toshizo, the supreme commander of the Japanese armed forces in China and commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, had requested a visit to the concession at 10 o'clock this morning, and that he would have a banquet at the Peace Hotel at noon, and asked the Ministry of Industry and the bureau to make arrangements!

The attendant was very confused, but he reacted quickly, and immediately replied: Today is a rest day, the directors are not working, he can't decide this matter, and he needs to urgently ask for instructions, please ask Consul General Miura to wait for a reply......

Then, the attendant immediately contacted the chief Dong Xien and reported the incident.

Sheehan is also confused, what are these Japanese going to do? As a political professional, he knows that the significance of July 7 Day to the representatives of China and Japan is completely opposite, the Chinese side thinks it is a day of shame, but the Japanese side thinks it is a victory day, and the Japanese want to enter the concession on this special day to stimulate the Chinese!

Thinking of this, Sheehan couldn't help but curse secretly: FUCK! Damn, these Japanese are looking for trouble! However, now it is the United States that manages the concession, and it is a nominally neutral country, and it is difficult to refuse such an official application for a visit by the consul general of a country! He didn't know how to deal with it.

After thinking about it, Sheehan asked the attendant to wait for the notice from him or Deputy Director Pan Sen, then hung up the phone and called the Junhao Mansion again.

When Li Junhao heard this, he first scolded angrily, but then remembered a "rumor" he learned on the Internet in his previous life - on this day in history, Nishio Shouzo, a bastard, had to go to the concession to show off the military exploits of the Japanese army, but he was almost assassinated, and the assassin was also a Japanese military personnel, and there was a big conspiracy hidden in it!

"Sheehan, I'll take care of this!" Li Junhao said, "Today is the weekend, you can rest in peace, and you can not see or answer any person or phone call that is looking for you!" ”

“OK。” Sheen immediately said relaxedly, "Then it's all up to you, Pansen." ”

Next, Li Junhao called the Ministry of Industry Bureau to explain how the attendant responded, saying that he, the deputy general director, was fully responsible for everything.

The authorized duty officer called back to the Japanese Consulate General and said to Yoshiaki Miura: "Consul General Miura, after asking for instructions, the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau has decided to accept General Nishio Toshizo's request to visit the concession, but because the concession is currently a neutral party in a war environment, there are strict neutrality requirements, and General Nishio is not a diplomat and cannot enter the concession as a soldier......

"General Nishio's visit was requested to be carried out only in a private capacity, and when entering the concession, he was not allowed to wear military uniforms, his entourage could not exceed two people, and he was not allowed to carry weapons......

"Well, that's clearly stated, and nothing can change......

"As for Mr. Nishio's desire to entertain guests at the Peace Hotel, this is his personal behavior, which needs to be contacted and arranged by himself, and cannot be compulsorily arranged by the Ministry of Works......

"Provided that the above requirements are complied with, Mr. Nishio may enter the concession at any time with the identification issued by the consulate......

"Yes, the rules are like that, all parties need to follow them, there are no exceptions!"

Putting down the phone, the attendant wiped the sweat on his head, a little nervous and a little excited, it was so enjoyable to scare the Japanese consul general! ——

I don't know how Yoshiaki Miura conveyed it to Nishio Shouzo, but his idea of "visiting" the concession was not implemented, but went to the Japanese concession......

Later, news came out that something big had happened in the Japanese concession, and some Taiwanese and Japanese conspired to assassinate Nishio Shouzo, but they were stopped by Nishio's guards, and there was a shootout between the two sides, killing thirty or forty people, while the Japanese marines on duty at the scene stood by and did nothing!

After the incident, Major General Saburo Miura, commander of the military police in the Japanese-occupied area of Huhai, was held accountable, dismissed and transferred back to China, and Nishio Shouzao returned to Jinling indignantly......

The rallies and activities in the concession went very smoothly on this day, and all kinds of anti-Japanese propaganda were unanimously applauded by the citizens!
