Movies and TV: Starting from a generation of masters

Chapter 182 He is back!

The main hall of the Marshal's Mansion.

Marshal Wu laughed and walked out of the door.

"Haha, Mr. Yamamoto and Mr. Sawada are here today, and my palace is in full bloom! You two, please..."

Yamamoto glanced at Sawada.

The two of them stepped into the house without any guards.

Both sides sat down.

On Dashuai Wu's rough face, a pair of eyes moved slightly.

"I don't know why you two came to my mansion today?"

Yamamoto smiled on his face, but his eyes were cold.

He said calmly: "Commander Wu, we have nothing else to do when we come here today.

"The Great East Asia Empire has agreed to your request to change the venue of the Great East Asia Martial Arts Competition to Shanghai..."

Marshal Wu waved his hand and laughed: "Haha, wasn't this matter already mentioned in the newspaper a while ago?
"It's not worth the special trip for both of you."

Yamamoto nodded with a smile: "Indeed, this matter has been announced to the public.

"But Marshal Wu has never thought that since the empire has agreed to your request.

"It is recognized internationally that Shanghai is now under the control of Marshal Wu."

Marshal Wu was slightly startled.

Then he smiled and said: "Then I have to thank the Japanese Empire..."

Yamamoto looked at Marshal Wu and smiled slowly: "Since Marshal Wu is already the master of this place.

"And our Hongkou Concession in the Japanese Empire is legally leased land. Marshal Wu will not deny this, right?"

Marshal Wu hesitated for a moment.

I secretly thought that these Japanese and Westerners actually have the same virtue.

Coming to China is nothing more than trying to gain profits.

Could it be that the Japanese think Hongkou is too small?

Want to expand the concession again?
This is not something you can agree to easily.

The martial arts faction was previously excluded from the inner circle, and had only a large number of weapons supported by the two countries in the West.

But it can only control the peripheral docks and ports.

The influence on urban Shanghai is pitifully weak.

Also because of the influence of those established families, the local people in Shanghai also dislike the martial arts clan.

This time, with great difficulty, I relied on the idea given by Luo Heng.

Publicly stand up and echo the Tohoku Kiyabo Mori North and South.

Strive to change the venue of the Japanese martial arts competition to Shanghai.

This reversed the image of the Wu Clan among the lower class people in Shanghai.

Now some people in Shanghai have shouted out that this newly promoted military commander is a rare hero who can stand up straight and dare to argue with foreigners.

At this time, if the Japanese are allowed to expand the concession.

Then what you did before was in vain.

There will also be greater backlash.

"What? Wu Jun thinks what I said is wrong?"

Yamamoto saw Marshal Wu's expression change, but did not answer his own words.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and his tone became gloomy.

Marshal Wu frowned and quickly thought about the purpose of these two Japanese people coming here today.

He cooperated with Gong Baosen to destroy the Japanese people's plan to hold a martial arts competition.

It is certain that you will be hated by the other party.

Marshal Wu knew what was going on.

It's all bullshit that the Japanese admit that they are the actual controllers of Shanghai internationally.

Although the martial arts faction is a separatist warlord.

But it is not an independent government!

What kind of bullshit international recognition is needed to control a city’s territory?

But Yamamoto, the Japanese's biggest spy leader in China.

The number one master in Japan, Kenichi Sawada, came directly to his door this time, and it was obviously difficult to deal with it easily.

Marshal Wu looked hesitant: "Mr. Yamamoto, what do you mean...?"

"Commander Wu, just tell me whether you will recognize our Great Japanese Empire and exercise your own power over the Hongkou Concession."

Yamamoto's eyes were sinister, like a greedy jackal, staring at Marshal Wu.

Marshal Wu could only nod slowly: "Yes, there is an agreement on this concession, of course I admit it."

"Since Marshal Wu admits it, that's good. Originally, we Japanese people had a patrol house in the concession.

"But a while ago, our material warehouse in the concession was attacked by a group of thugs, and an explosion occurred on site, causing heavy losses. Marshal Wu should know about it, right?"

Marshal Wu was startled.

He nodded and said, "I've heard about this. Didn't it happen years ago?"

Yamamoto nodded: "It did happen years ago.

“But the specific losses have only been counted in the past few days.

"Now the Japanese people in the concession are in danger of themselves and are worried about the security situation in Hongkou..."

Marshal Wu felt a little uneasy and asked hesitantly: "What do you mean by Mr. Yamamoto?"

Yamamoto squinted at Marshal Wu.

Finally, he stated his purpose: “We request to increase the number of manpower in the patrol house in the concession.

"Allow the empire's warships in the outer sea to enter the Huangpu River..."

Marshal Wu's expression suddenly changed.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes widened: "This is impossible, I will not agree to you..."

What's the difference between letting Japanese warships enter the Huangpu River and handing over the entire city of Shanghai?
In the late Qing Dynasty, it was because foreign warships entered China's inland rivers.

What happened next, not many years had passed.

Everyone still remembers it.

The group of robbers pressed forward step by step.

It eventually evolved into breaking into the capital, and the majestic capital of the country was ransacked by a group of bandits...

The concessions are all problems left over from the late Qing Dynasty.

In recent years, the public voice for taking back concessions and driving away foreign privileges has become more and more intense.

It can be said that Marshal Wu also took advantage of the patriotic sentiment rising from the bottom this time.

Consolidate the military clique's control over Shanghai.

At this time, if he agrees to the Japanese conditions.

He is simply the number one traitor in the world.

By then the martial arts department will no longer be able to stay in Shanghai and take root.

Other warlords can use this as an excuse to directly and openly send troops to attack the martial arts...

Expand the scope of patrols in the concession?
Of course I can’t agree!
What a joke.

There should have been clear limits on the number of armed teams in the concession.

But in recent years, concessions in various countries have secretly expanded their manpower.

Among them, the Japanese are the ones who have gone too far.

The vast majority of Japanese people living in the Hongkou Concession are actually soldiers and spies.

It's just an open and aboveboard activity on weekdays that does not follow the military establishment.

Marshal Wu is almost certain.

Only he dared to nod and promise the Japanese to expand the patrol team.

The Japanese verbally agreed to add 100 people.

With their shameless behavior, they will be in Hongkou Concession tomorrow.

I dare to have a full camp with 1000 more people.

The most important thing is that it is okay for Japanese people to do this kind of thing secretly.

But if Marshal Wu dares to nod, it will still be traitorous if word spreads!
He was in the newspaper a while ago, having a war of words with Japanese people.

It's a little advantage.

How do you not know the importance of public opinion?
"So, Marshal Wu doesn't want to accept our friendship from the Japanese Empire?"

When Yamamoto saw that Marshal Wu rejected him twice in a row, his expression became even more gloomy.

Marshal Wu shook his head solemnly: "It's not that I don't want to be friends with you.

"In fact, I can't agree to the two things you proposed."

If a warlord like Marshal Wu is said to be very patriotic, that is not necessarily true.

Just to reach his position, there are some things that can only be done but not said.

There are some things that can only be said but not done.

He can still distinguish this clearly.

I originally thought that this time I would definitely fall out with the Japanese.

But did not expect.

Although Yamamoto looked ugly, he did not get angry on the spot.

He didn't even walk away.

Instead, he asked again: "In order to ensure the safety of the people in the Hongkou Concession, shouldn't it be your martial arts department's responsibility?

"After all, you are now the de facto controller of Shanghai."

Marshal Wu was startled.

I could vaguely sense that this Japanese man had bad intentions.

He must be holding back something evil to trick himself.

However, he could only nod in recognition of this matter.

After all, that's the truth.

"Since Marshal Wu is the actual controller of Shanghai, as a friendly country, we, the people of the Japanese Empire, have suffered losses on your territory.

"Should you be responsible?"

Marshal Wu frowned: "Mr. Yamamoto, that's not what you said.

"The people who attacked your Japanese warehouse were not sent by me..."

"But you just admitted that Shanghai is your territory.

"Our people were attacked on your territory. I propose to you to increase patrols or allow our Japanese Empire's warships to enter the Huangpu River to protect the safety of our citizens.

"I was rejected by you...then, do I have any reason to doubt.

"Are you protecting the attackers, or do you have a relationship with that group of people?"

Marshal Wu finally understood.

These two Japanese people suddenly came to my door today.

His mother is waiting for him here!
They went around in a big circle, just to dump the shit pot that was blown up in their warehouse on the head of the martial arts department, Commander Wu!
At this time.

Wu Qi, who had been sitting in the corner, listening to his father's conversation with the Japanese, finally couldn't sit still.

He patted the armrest of the sofa and stood up.

He pointed at Yamamoto and cursed: "What are you talking about?

"I told you this is Pudong, the Marshal's Mansion!
"This is not the place for you Japanese people, not the Hongkou Concession!"

"Oh?" Yamamoto glanced sideways at Wu Qi.

He sneered: "Is this Young Master Wu Qi, the son of Marshal Wu?"

Wu Qi is a typical second-generation ancestor with a generous temper.

The Japanese people went around and around to trick his family, which had already pissed him off.

At this time, no one cares about the identity of the other party.

Anyway, the supporters behind the martial arts system are Westerners.

He really didn't believe that the Japanese dared to fall out with the Italians.

If Luo Heng knew his thoughts like this.

You will definitely laugh at how naive this guy is!
The Japanese are such evil dogs, and even their master America will dare to attack them when the time comes. "What are you doing? Is there a place for you to talk here? Sit back..."

You know what your son's character is like.

Marshal Wu jumped out when he saw Wu Qi.

Knowing that something bad was going to happen, he immediately scolded him to shut up.

It's just that Yamamoto had an ulterior motive when he came to the Marshal's Mansion today.

How could he let it go so easily.

His face darkened, and he winked at Kenichi Sawada, who had been silent.

He said with sarcasm: "According to our investigation, our Japanese warehouse was attacked by thugs that day.

"Master Wu Qi and Miss Wu happened to appear in the Hongkou Concession.

“Still in the tea house across the river from the warehouse that was attacked.

"Commander Wu, do you want to give me a reasonable explanation?"

Marshal Wu was stunned.

Wu Liu and Wu Qi went to Hongkou Concession with Luo Heng that day.

He knows.

But he didn't expect that the Japanese people actually knew about it.

I was about to shake my head in denial.

But Wu Qi was the first to scold him: "What the hell are you talking about? Although Hongkou is a Japanese concession, can't we just go and have tea and have fun?"

Marshal Wu secretly said that he would be punished.

This son is spoiled and doesn't know how shameless these guys are...

Sure enough, Yamamoto sneered: "So, Master Wu Qi admitted that he was nearby at the time?"

At this time, Wu Qi also came to his senses.

I found that I had been fooled by this Japanese man.

However, Yamamoto no longer waited for him to refute, and immediately said in a negative tone: "In this case, Master Wu Qi should come back with us and cooperate with the investigation."

With that said, he turned to Marshal Wu and said coldly: "And Miss Wu Liu, who appeared together at that time, should you also go back with me?"

As Yamamoto spoke.

Two Japanese people rushed in outside the door.

He walked directly towards Wu Qi, obviously intending to take Wu Qi back by force.

This is the Marshal's Mansion.

As the handsome son.

If you were taken back here by Japanese people.

Don't waste the Wu family's face.

At this time, Marshal Wu was also riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He stretched out his hand and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Yamamoto ignored Marshal Wu's stoppage at all.

"Don't worry, Marshal Wu, we will investigate carefully and we will never wrongly accuse Mr. Wu! Take him away..."

Two Japanese people immediately stepped forward to pull Wu Qi away.

Wu Qi also completely exploded.

He drew a pistol from his pocket.

He cursed loudly: "Damn little Japanese, how dare you run wild in my house?

"Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"

Yamamoto sneered, showing no signs of panic.

At this time, Sawada Keyichi suddenly flashed.

In just the blink of an eye, he stood in front of Wu Qi.

Wu Qi subconsciously turned his gun and pointed it at Sawada Kenichi.

A trace of contempt flashed in Sawada Key's eyes.

One hand reached out and grabbed the pistol in Wu Qi's hand.

Wu Qi didn't even think about actually shooting.

He took out his gun just to scare the Japanese people.

And with Sawada Kenichi's skills.

How could Wu Qi, who had never practiced Kung Fu, avoid it.

I just feel numb in my wrist.

His fingers shrank involuntarily.

I didn't even understand what was going on before the trigger was pulled.

Bang!
A shot rang out.

Marshal Wu was stunned.

Haven't reacted to what's going on.

Then he saw two Japanese soldiers who had just rushed in to capture Wu Qi, and a ball of blood burst out from one of them's chest.

Hurt someone?
Wu Qi shot a Japanese?

At this moment, Marshal Wu also felt like his head was in a mess.

Things are happening too fast.

Wu Qi's eyes widened.

He reacted suddenly, pointed a finger at Sawada Kenichi, and shouted: "It's you..."

Sawada Kenichi moved quickly.

The hand on Wu Qi's wrist tugged.

He immediately grabbed Wu Qi's pistol.

He didn't see any movement, just a shake of his arm.

The pistol shattered into parts and fell to the ground.

Without waiting for Wu Qi to shout out the next words.

The other hand has been put on Wu Qi's neck, exerting force on the back of his neck, pressing on the artery...

Wu Qi's body went limp. He only had time to say two words, and then he was unable to speak anymore...

"Stop... don't come in, stay outside..."

Seeing that his only son fell into the hands of the Japanese, Marshal Wu was a little jealous.

The guards of the Marshal's Mansion were alerted by gunshots outside the door.

At this time, he reacted quickly and rushed to the door.

However, Marshal Wu shouted to stop them and they could only gather around the door.

Seeing Kenichi Sawada successfully capture Takechi.

A sneer appeared on Yamamoto's face: "Marshal Wu, your son happened to appear nearby on the day the thugs attacked.

"Now we just asked him to go back and cooperate with the investigation. Then he shot and wounded us Japanese people.

"You have to give us an explanation for this!"

It happened too suddenly.

We were still negotiating just now, although the atmosphere was not very good.

But what has the battle-hardened Marshal Wu not seen?

It is common for each other to scold each other at the negotiation table, slap the table and throw shoes.

But when the gun was fired, the nature was different.

At this moment, Marshal Wu didn't know how to respond.

The most important thing is that Wu Qi is the only son of the Wu family!

Now it falls into the hands of Sawada Kenichi...

"You guys let my son go first, and we can talk about anything later..."

Marshal Wu quickly calmed down and could only offer to let him go first.

Yamamoto sneered: "Let him go? Yes!

"But either you agree to the conditions I proposed before and issue an order to allow the expansion of the patrol house in the concession.

"Let our Japanese warships enter the Huangpu River.

"Either you recognize the losses we Japanese people suffered in this warehouse explosion.

"Compensation of 200 million taels of silver makes us believe that this incident has nothing to do with your Wu family!"

Things have come this far.

Yamamoto finally came up with his plan and revealed his true purpose.

What about the expansion of patrol rooms and the entry of warships into the Huangpu River?

In fact, it was just a false shot.

Blackmailing the Wu family's silver is what he wants.

"Two million taels of silver? How is that possible?"

Marshal Wu suddenly woke up.

I understand that I have completely fallen into someone else's trap.

However, at this time, the son is in other people's hands.

The Japanese also took advantage of it.

Two million taels of silver is impossible, but bleeding is inevitable.

Also at this time.

Outside the door, the soldiers of the Marshal's Mansion were confronting the Japanese guards brought by Yamamoto.

He looked at a person in astonishment and slowly walked between the two parties.

One of the soldiers suddenly recognized someone.

Subconsciously shouted: "Luo Heng?!"

As soon as the name rang out.

There were Japanese and Wu soldiers at the scene.

Everything was shocked.

His eyes subconsciously focused on Luo Heng who suddenly appeared.

Luo Heng still didn't understand what happened in the room.

It was out of etiquette.

Still waiting at the gate, waiting for the concierge to come in and announce.

But suddenly a gunshot was heard.

The guards at the door rushed over to check the situation.

No one could care about the three of them.

Luo Heng simply walked in by himself.

Unexpectedly, in the courtyard, I saw a group of Japanese people confronting the soldiers of the Marshal's Mansion.

Don't worry about anything for now.

As long as it's a matter of Japanese people, why should I care...

Luo Heng hurriedly explained a few sentences to Chen Shi and Ma San.

He walked boldly into the sight of both parties.

When Luo Heng was in Shanghai before, he came to the Marshal's Mansion frequently.

The portrait was also published in newspapers, so recognition was entirely predictable.

At this time, no one knew who it was, suddenly shouted in the crowd: "Master Luo, our commander-in-chief and the seventh young master are in the room..."

Luo Heng's eyes narrowed and he looked in the direction of the main hall.

inside the house.

Holding Takechi in one hand, the expressionless Sawada Kenichi suddenly turned around.

Luo Heng?

He finally returned to Shanghai!
The eyes of both parties met across a distance of tens of meters...
