Lost and Spy

Chapter 399 The Last Lesson

"Bravely killed the enemy's [-] soldiers, and the heroism of resisting the enemy is expressed in poetry; whoever loves the country and tears a thousand lines, is angry when it comes to Japanese slaves!"——Xie Jinyuan.

On October 1937, 10, the fourth day of the Sixing Warehouse Defense War.

Here, it is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army.

The huge national flag on the top floor of the warehouse is still fluttering in the wind.

Because it was too close to the concession, the Japanese army did not dare to use large-caliber artillery to bombard it indiscriminately, but instead used gasoline and gas bombs to attack.

But no matter what methods the Japanese army used, the Sixing Warehouse remained unmoved!

On the same day, the first batch of medicinal materials used by Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito to redeem his brother-in-law Tokugawa Honda secretly arrived in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan ordered Zhu Yanni, who had withdrawn from the International Settlement, to take over.

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan reorganized the special detachment under his command.

The whole detachment is organized into five squadrons.

Tian Qi, Yuan Zhonghe, Zhu Yanni, Yue Zhenchuan, and Wei Yunzhe are each in charge of a squadron, the so-called combat squadron.

What is very special is that Tian Qi is temporarily unable to perform his duties due to "injury", and Zhao Changle is temporarily in charge of the squadron under his command.

Wu Jingyi was ordered to personally command the latent team.

Young Master Meng had just promised her the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Special Detachment", but there was no way to keep it.

Fortunately, anyway, Assistant Wu has long been used to his dishonesty towards Young Master Meng.

After the reorganization was completed, each squadron retreated to the designated location in batches.

More than that.

Meng Shaoyuan still had several weapons in his hand.

In the "Taihu Guerrilla Brigade" in Taihu Lake, the Taihu Secret Service Training Class.

He also compiled Song Deng, Pan Baolai, Sun Jian, Ma Dai, and Xu Zhu into a "Youth Special Operations Team", which he directly controlled.

At this time, the Meng Shaoyuan Group was divided into three departments.

One group is the "old man" headed by Tian Qi and others. The first group of people who followed Meng Shaoyuan is called the "Bingzi family".

One group is headed by Zhao Changle, Guo Rui and others, and is called the "Youth Department".

Later, it was represented by Song Deng and others. Since most of them came out of the Hangzhou training class, they were called "Hangzhou Department".

In fact, the ages of the people in these three departments are about the same.

The reason for such a division is entirely based on the length of time following Meng Shaoyuan.

In addition, there is a rather special department:
The power of Wu Jingyi's command.

Because of Wu Jingyi's background, this department is also known as the "Internal Service Department".

Factions?

Sometimes, Meng Shaoyuan would also think about this question.

Meng Shaoyuan never thought of having such a few subordinates before.

But as power grows, factional issues are bound to inevitably arise.

This is true of the entire military system.

Dai Li is here, no matter which faction you belong to, you will always follow Dai Li's lead, and no one dares to act rashly.

After Dai Li died, everyone fought for power.

The situation of Meng Shaoyuan Group is similar.

As long as Meng Shaoyuan lives, he is the leader, and everyone obeys orders, and he will die without regret.

just in case……

What if one day I hang up by myself?

Leave it alone.

Everyone is dead, who knows what will happen next?

……

By the river.

French-style three-story building.

The butler Alao directed the servants to put the tableware away one by one.

Whatever happened outside had nothing to do with Arau.

He is the butler.

His responsibility is to manage the family well.

Arau was actually quite dissatisfied.

A servant is too few.

Today, the honorable host will entertain the guests here. He must hold the banquet perfectly so as not to lose it in front of the host.

So after Alao's careful consideration, he recruited another temporary servant.

When necessary, Yuri Ai Yamashita, who lives in the master's house, can also help.

Although it is impolite to ask guests to help, Aarao always feels that Miss Yamashita eats and lives in the host's house, and she seems to be no different from the hostess, right?
Of course, Miss Zhu Yanni must not let Miss Zhu Yanni know about this idea, otherwise, Alao knew that he would be unlucky.

Fortunately, I heard that Ms. Zhu Yanni was ordered to carry out a mission, and she won't be here for a long time.

Hey, in Alao's opinion, Miss Shanshita and Miss Zhu are both very nice women. Why hasn't the master started a family yet and just wanders around all day long?

In Alao's view, if the master doesn't get married for a day, no matter what earth-shattering things he does, he is just wandering around.

According to the master's wishes, the French chef gave him a sum of compensation and sent him home, and Aarau hired a Chinese chef again.

The owner said, he is Chinese, what kind of French food does he eat all day?

Aarau knew that the host felt sorry for the high price of hiring a French chef.

I checked the time, and the guests will arrive one after another in two hours...

……

"Okay, that's all for today's lesson."

Yamashita Yuriai closed the book, looked at the eight students in the classroom, and said slowly: "I remember when I first taught Japanese, there were more than 40 students here, and some of them only studied for one day, and then they were forced to Transferred to the front line, I never saw them again.

Today is my last lesson for you. The Japanese class will be temporarily closed.I am Japanese, and I am sorry that my country brazenly launched a war that caused great harm to China and the Chinese people.Students, please accept my Japanese apology. "

After speaking, she bowed deeply to the eight students.

"Mr. Yamashita, it's not your fault." A student stood up and said, "The Japanese are different from the Japanese, and the Chinese are also different from the Chinese. You don't have to apologize for those Japanese."

"Thank you." Yamashita Yuriai raised his head, with a smile on his face, but his tone was very dignified: "I don't know how many of you will survive the war. I hope that what I teach you can be used in your final days." Help you when you need it, gentlemen, please, please live well, please."

As soon as the words were finished, an agent rushed in hastily: "Assembly, urgent assembly! Target, Sixing Warehouse!"

There's nothing coming.

The eight students all stood up, and when they passed Yuri Ai Yamashita, they didn't forget to bow to their teacher.

Yuri Yamashita smiled and smiled, but then her tears flowed out...

……

"Director Meng, an urgent order." Assistant Wu walked into the office: "The general headquarters believes that the defense of the Sixing Warehouse has ended victoriously, and Xie Jinyuan's troops should withdraw in an orderly manner. Notify the Sixing Warehouse and assist Xie to retreat safely."

"understood."

It should come, it will always come.

Xie Jinyuan resisted for four days and caused heavy damage to the Japanese army. It had a great impact internationally and inspired the determination of the people of the whole country to resist the war to the end. It is no longer necessary to continue to fight until now.

Moreover, there are two huge gas storage tanks in the Nancheng of Xinjun Bridge, which is very close to the warehouse. Once the Japanese army became angry and took crazy measures to retaliate, if the gas tank was shot, half of Shanghai would be reduced to ashes.

"Order, Sun Jian..."

Before the order was issued, Wu Jingyi had already said, "I'll go to the Sixing Warehouse."

"you?"

"Me." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "All ministries are still in the process of reorganization. They have been fighting continuously and are very tired. Moreover, I am familiar with the situation in the concession, so I will notify you. I told my husband that I will have to work overtime until very late today. Night."

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Tell Xie Jinyuan the retreat location and time in detail, and I will respond in time."

"Ok."

……

Butler Qiu was the first to appear.

He introduced himself in English and said, "I'm here to check how the preparations for the banquet are going."

Aaron became angry for a moment.

Check the banquet?Is this a distrust of oneself?

This is actually a bit of a misunderstanding.

Madam Qiangwei also received the invitation.She didn't know that Meng Shaoyuan had a housekeeper, but she heard that Meng Shaoyuan was going to invite a few guests today, so she was worried that Meng Shaoyuan would be too busy, so she asked Butler Qiu to see if there was anything he could do to help.

As a result, Steward Qiu regarded himself as an imperial envoy and used the word "inspection".

In his eyes, Meng Shaoyuan has always been a vulgar and rude guy. Look, look, the house is fine, why did you use a black servant?
In Shanghai, black people are not uncommon at all, they are all servants.

How could Steward Qiu think that Alao's identity is actually a housekeeper like him?

"You are too rude, sir." When Arau got angry, the consequences were very serious. He finally fulfilled his dream of being a housekeeper and never allowed anyone to challenge his authority:

"This is my master's home. As the master's butler, I will keep everything in order. We don't need an outsider to check our work."

housekeeper?

God, Meng Shaoyuan, a vulgar and rude guy, actually let a black man be the housekeeper?

Butler Qiu didn't bother to talk to Alao at all. He looked at the tableware on the table: "Have they all been washed carefully? My wife has very high requirements for hygiene."

"Here, even a cockroach has been cleaned." Arau retorted.

"Oh my god, there are still cockroaches here?" Steward Qiu exclaimed exaggeratedly: "I can't imagine that a cockroach suddenly appeared while the guests were dining. I want to vomit just thinking about this scene."

"Please learn more science." Aarau did not show any weakness: "Even in the king's palace, creatures like cockroaches will exist tenaciously. Do you think your master is more exaggerated than the king? What a rude person guy!"

"The one who is really rude is you."

Butler Qiu dismissed it: "How many guests are there to treat such a small place? How many guests? One? Or two? You should feel lucky that Madam can come."

"I don't see what there is to be thankful for..."

It is said that the debate between the Chinese and British butlers lasted for about an hour. No one knows whether it was Butler Qiu who defended the honor of the Chinese butlers, or Aarau who preserved the dignity of the British butlers.

In short, after this, Steward Qiu and Alao became enemies for life.
