Chapter 968 Another Mess
"Brother Xiting, why are you doing this?"
Dingcun sighed and said, "The current situation is turbulent and the whole world is in chaos. Unfortunately, my strategy is far inferior to that of Brother Xiting."
"Otherwise, I would also like to follow your example and resign."
"But if I resign and leave, I'm afraid I'll be waited for by bullets."
"Whether I am working for the Japanese or for Yamashiro, all I want is a way to survive."
"However, I am very curious, who in Shancheng can persuade Brother Xiting to come out again."
Gu Linhuai didn't say much, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ding Cun.
Ding Cun took the letter and was stunned when he saw the signature on it.
Chen Cixiu...
Ding Cun did not open the envelope, but respectfully returned it to Gu Linhuai. Of course, he did not dare to read the contents. After a while, Ding Cun slowly said, "Sure enough, only such a person can make Brother Xiting come out of retirement."
"I just can't understand why you went to so much trouble to get so many explosives?"
"Shanghai is not a big place, but it's not a small place either. You can't accomplish anything earth-shattering with just a dozen tons of explosives."
Gu Linhuai said in a gentle voice: "Brother Juchuan, have you heard about Mr. Wang's matter?"
Dingcun hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Xiting said that Mr. Wang is going to resign his leadership position and go to Japan for medical treatment."
"This matter has spread throughout the Jinling government, but it is just a rumor."
"Zuo Mingquan wrote me a letter saying that Mrs. Chen has been taking care of Mr. in the hospital. He doesn't seem to want to leave."
Gu Linhuai chuckled and said, "Of course, this is the supreme ruler of a country, who would let him go so easily?"
"However, his condition may be difficult to cure given China's medical conditions."
"So, when it comes to a life-threatening situation, you have to leave."
"If Mr. Wang leaves, who do you think will take over?"
Ding Cun answered without hesitation: "Of course it's Dean Chen."
As soon as the words came out, Ding Cun suddenly became alert: "Brother Xiting, do you want to attack Dean Chen?"
Gu Linhuai said: "Brother Juchuan, some people in Shancheng think that Dean Chen should not be the top leader. They want to support Mayor Zhou to take over."
"Impossible," Ding Cun said without hesitation, "Dean Chen's ability is much higher than Mayor Zhou's."
"Moreover, the most critical person now is Minister Chen of the Joint Transportation Department of Shanghai."
"He represents the attitude of the Japanese. He supports President Chen, which means the Japanese support President Chen."
"Mayor Zhou has been driven into a state of panic by him. Even if you are willing to support Mayor Zhou, he may not dare to fight for it."
Gu Linhuai smiled and said, "This task will be handed over to Brother Juchuan."
As he spoke, he took out another letter and handed it to Dingcun. The signature on it was "Chen Zutao"...
Ding Cun took the envelope, opened it and read it. After a while, he sighed heavily.
"Mayor Zhou is in a state of panic right now. I'm afraid it won't be easy to persuade him right now."
Gu Linhuai looked at the chess game on the table, took out a black piece from the chess cup, and placed it in the middle of the board.
“Brother Juchuan, if it was before, he might still hesitate, but not now.”
"I had someone send him a gift this morning. He should understand that he is now like the white piece on the chessboard. He has no choice."
Shanghai, French Concession.
Chen Yang was speechless. Last time, in order to force the French to surrender, he had people shoot Chu Yimin, and he staged the same drama of shelling Fengtian again.
However, Minister Bao, who took over, was injured by a bomb again before he could complete the negotiations.
Actually, he was pretty lucky, as the person who opened the door was that idiot Guo Zuming.
Guo Zuming was blown to pieces, while Minister Bao was in the room and was only injured by the aftermath of the bomb.
The injury wasn't serious, but it was just right that he could be neighbors with Chu Yimin.
After Minister Bao was injured, the Jinling government sent another commissioner from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhou Weifeng.
But this man was also very unlucky. Not long after he got off the train, he received a gift, a box of explosives.
At this moment, everyone in Jinling was frightened out of their wits, and Mr. Wang ordered Yin Rugeng, the director of the North China Political Affairs Office, to come over.
This guy was good. The next day he said he was sick and stayed in the hospital, refusing to be discharged.
Then they asked Chen Qun from the Ministry of the Interior to come over, but Chen Qun also said that he was too busy with his work and refused to leave.
Even though the negotiations seemed to have come to an end, the Jinling government was unable to send out a single representative.
The gentleman was so angry that he cursed these people in the hospital for being idle and cowardly.
In the end, there was no choice but for President Chen to let Chen Yang negotiate on behalf of the Jinling government. As long as there were no problems with the negotiation details, he would come and sign the contract himself.
In front of the French Concession Municipal Council.
The soldiers of the Japanese gendarmerie commander surrounded the Municipal Council from front to back.
No matter how the foreigners in the French Concession protested, these people turned a deaf ear to them.
Their attitude was very clear. We received orders from our superiors to take over the French Concession. If we were dissatisfied with anything, we should go to Commander Sato for consultation.
Although the French were dissatisfied, they could do nothing about it.
The French Army, once so powerful and known as the strongest army on land, has been beaten to a pulp by the Germans.
In early February, in order to completely cut off the supply line of the mountain city, Japan divided its troops into two routes, one attacking Myanmar and the other heading towards Vietnam.
The French troops stationed in Vietnam and the French Indian Army withdrew from the battlefield with almost no resistance.
This also gave the Japanese confidence when facing the French.
A black Toyota sedan stopped at the entrance of the French Concession Municipal Council. Colonel Tanaka, the commander of the Takahashi Regiment of the Military Police Headquarters, saw the black sedan and immediately trotted forward.
"Minister," seeing Chen Yang get out of the car, Colonel Tanaka was the first to bow to him.
"Oh, Colonel Tanaka, you have worked hard these days." Chen Yang said to Tanaka Jun after getting out of the car.
Tanaka Jun quickly said: "This is my responsibility. Minister Bao seems not to have come these days."
Chen Yang said slowly: "Minister Bao was injured and is now receiving treatment in the hospital. I will temporarily take over his duties."
"Colonel Tanaka, I have to go take care of some business first. We can go to Yuelongsha for a drink when we have time."
Tanaka Jun quickly moved aside, and the Japanese soldiers guarding the door also bowed to Chen Yang and watched him enter the Municipal Council.
In the Municipal Council Office, Fili looked at Chen Yang and complained: "Minister Chen, you are going too far."
"The concession is still ours, but you disregarded international public law and forcibly sent troops to occupy it. This is a blatant disregard of international conventions."
Chen Yang laughed and said, "Mr. Philly, you also understand the current situation. The Jinling government is determined to recover the concession."
"I came here to resolve this matter without losing face."
"To be frank, Mr. Fili, the Jinling government will never agree to the conditions you proposed."
