Chapter 56 Fermentation
"Look, someone has come out again." Vicente put down the binoculars and said to everyone.

Bai Longdu snatched the binoculars, looked at the crowd who were staggering out of the hotel, he was a little puzzled, what happened, did the robbers release the hostages.

Soon, he saw an acquaintance, a big British businessman. This big British businessman was holding his arm, and his sleeve was dripping with blood.

"Hurry up, hurry up and fetch Mr. Hansal." Barrondo ordered Major Vicente loudly, Hansal has a very close relationship with a certain Earl.

Major Vicente personally led a group of people to bring back the injured hostages. Consuls from various countries expressed condolences to the citizens of their own countries, and inquired about what was going on inside.

Bai Longdu couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Hansal, who are those robbers, why did they let you go?"

Hansal's face was full of fatigue and shock: "The people inside call themselves the Northeast Republican Army. They hijacked the Liuguo Hotel in order to express certain political opinions to the world. They are really a bunch of lunatics."

But then he shook his head: "But I have to say that they are some gentlemanly lunatics. The women and children have been properly arranged, and we injured hostages have also been released."

Bai Longdu frowned, the name seemed a little familiar, where did he hear it, but now is not the time to recall, he hurriedly asked the consulate personnel to send the injured hostages to the hospital.

The Japanese consul Toyama Nakaji came over at this time: "Mr. Hansal, why are there no Japanese nationals here? Are there no Japanese nationals injured?"

Hansal, who was just about to get into the car, was furious, and grabbed Toyama Nakaji's collar with his intact arm: "Damn Japanese shorties, if it weren't for the good things you did in the Northeast, those lunatics wouldn't do it."

Hirosuke Takamura saw the consul being attacked and quickly pulled out his pistol. The British soldiers also raised Li Enfield when they saw the citizens of the British Empire in danger, and the scene got out of control.

"Put down the gun! Mr. Hansal, please let go of the Japanese Consul immediately." Barrondo didn't know why Hansal was crazy, and he openly attacked a diplomat. This was a political incident.

If the relationship between the two countries was tense because of Hansal's actions, he would be directly in charge of the situation. Even if Hansal had a good relationship with the earl, such behavior would never be allowed.

Hansal hesitated for a moment, let go of Toyama Nakaji, and spit at him: "You cold-blooded executioners, I will let the whole world know what you did."

The rest of the injured hostages also stared at Nakaji Toyama with hatred, and handed out leaflets to the surrounding crowd, including foreigners and Chinese.

Everyone took it in bewilderment and watched it, and then goosebumps popped out, inhuman massacres, and horrific tragedies happened on this land.

"God, what did these Japanese shorties do, massacre women and children, is it true?"

"Little Japan, get out of the Northeast!"

The leaflets were passed among the crowd, and the crowd was excited for a while. Toyama Nakaji didn't know what happened, and his face was inexplicable. Aren't we all victims.

Bai Longdu frowned after reading it from the beginning to the end, and passed the leaflet to Toyama Nakaji, massacre, they did it in the British Empire, it should be said that they often do it, but the Japanese don't have any sense of secrecy.

After reading the note, Nakaji Toyama felt that his head was about to explode. This matter was going to happen. Those bastards of the Kwantung Army, why did they do such a thing, and why didn't they keep it secret.

Some people in the crowd left quietly. There were intelligence forces from various parties and ordinary people. They quickly spread this explosive news to all directions.

At the Beiping Evening News, a reporter received a call and rushed to the editor-in-chief's office. The news on the phone just now was too horrifying, and he couldn't decide whether to report it or not.

"Editor-in-Chief, the Japanese massacred in the Northeast, and the Liuguo Hotel was hijacked by a group of robbers!" Opening the door, the reporter, regardless of the editor-in-chief who was learning foreign languages ​​from the secretary, broke a shocking news.

"What! Hurry up and send someone to the scene!" The editor-in-chief pushed the female secretary away, big news is big business, women are nothing in front of big business.

This scene not only appeared in the major newspapers in Peking, but through telegrams, newspapers in Tianjin, Shanghai, and Jinling also sent reporters to the Liuguo Hotel in Peking.

Not only that, some of the wounded hostages were very trustworthy in contacting major foreign newspapers and telling them what happened in the Liuguo Hotel. For a while, countless radio waves shuttled over Beiping.

After talking with the injured hostages, British Consul Brondo immediately reported to the ambassador in China, the Northeast Republican Army, he remembered why he felt familiar!
Didn't those damned Irish untouchables set up some kind of Irish Republican Army? Could there be any connection between the two? Are the two names just a coincidence?
The noise and turmoil outside had nothing to do with the people in the Liuguo Hotel. The wounded hostages were taken away, and the hostages' emotions became stable instead of the pain and wailing and the smell of blood.

And didn't the masked people say that they just suffered an indiscriminate disaster, and looking at their behavior of releasing the hostages, they were indeed righteous bandits full of gentlemanly demeanor.

Suddenly, the hostages kept rumbling their stomachs, which was a bit embarrassing. They were too nervous just now to feel hungry, but now that their lives were no longer in danger, they immediately felt hungry.

The masked man patted his head and gave a knight salute: "I'm really sorry, I forgot to prepare food for everyone, but now there is a problem, we need too much dinner and not enough cooks, who can tell me what to do .”

Someone among the hostages shouted: "The chef and waiter of the hotel are also here, can you let them prepare dinner for us, after all, we are residents."

The staff of the restaurant are not happy anymore, forget about it in the past, but now everyone is half dead, why should we let us serve you, at worst, I will join the robbers.

The masked man raised his fingers and shook: "No, no, no, you are all my hostages now, and you are equal in status. There are no natural servants, and no natural nobles. Everyone is born equal."

The hotel staff looked at the masked man gratefully. It was Mr. Robber who was understanding and respected them.

"Maybe we should do it ourselves. After all, everyone comes from all over the world. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to taste food from all over the world?" the masked man suggested.

So, the restaurant was peaceful, and the hostages happily prepared dinner. You can make Provence steak, I can make Waldorf salad, and he can make looking up at the stars (crossed out).

The men in black didn't care about these fake cooks, as long as they didn't run away, they could do whatever they wanted. Zhang Jingyao also mixed in with the crowd preparing dinner, and sneakily stole a kitchen knife.

All this was seen by the man in black, but the masked man didn't speak, so everyone pretended not to see it, but a waiter in the hotel secretly reported the incident, and he didn't want the kind-hearted robbers to be hurt.

Soon special dishes from all over the world were brought up plate by plate, including red wine from France, whiskey from England, beer from Germany, and liquor from China.

Not to mention the hotel staff, even some guests have never eaten such a sumptuous food and drink. After all, not all the people who live in the hotel are rich.

A number of small tables were assembled into several long dining tables. The masked man sat on the top and held up a glass of red wine. He tapped the wine glass lightly with a fork: "For reunion."

After going through so many things, the hostages were not afraid to communicate with the robbers anymore, and raised their glasses of wine one after another: "For reunion."

After being frightened for so long, many people immediately felt hungry when they saw the food, and devoured it hungrily, regardless of their demeanor and etiquette.

I have to say that many of the hostages' cooking skills are very average, but the authentic flavor still makes everyone hooked.

Hase Ryosuke was not treated specially, but no one was willing to sit beside him, even the Japanese hostages were afraid of being implicated by him, so they sat far away.

Eating mechanically, Hase Ryosuke thought about how to survive. He is a distinguished Mr. Millionaire, not those lowly postcards outside the door.

After thinking about it, Hase Ryosuke felt that Zhang Jiyao had to be sacrificed. The Northeast Republican Army must be interested in a traitor. Although he is a good partner, he can only be sorry.

While eating, Zhang Jingyao made eye contact with the bodyguards. At this point, begging for mercy and escaping are no longer possible. The only way out is to kidnap a man in black.

It would be even better if the masked leader could be hijacked. Zhang Jingyao believed that as long as the scene was chaotic, the other hostages would take the opportunity to resist and he would have a chance to escape.

The meal was finished soon, the hostages were drinking and thinking about something, the hall became quiet, the masked man also picked up a wine glass, and slowly approached the hostages.

"Everyone, we may have to get along for a while. For the safety of your lives, I will give you a few rules." The masked man's voice lingered in the hall.

The hostages nodded in agreement. They believed that the robbers were very trustworthy. Since they could guarantee that everyone would not be harmed, why not do it.

"One, never run away, I believe that no one can run away from a bullet. Two, if you have special needs, you can tell me, for example, ladies need something."

The ladies blushed when they heard this.The men also suddenly realized and laughed.

The masked man walked behind a man while talking, and put his hands on the back of his chair: "Three, don't try to attack my subordinates, that's very bad, isn't it, sir."

Zhang Jingyao's back was covered with cold sweat, and he tightly held the tableware in his hand, thinking why this damn robber told him this, did he know something?

Fight!Zhang Jingyao was also a fierce man when he was young. He committed a murder and fled to the Pingjin area before entering Beiyang.

As the saying goes, the older you are, the less courageous you become, but his strong desire to survive makes him burst out with enormous energy.
