Shadow Spy

Chapter 231 Arrival of additional troops

On Monday, October 10, Li Junhao and others came to Gonghexiang Pier on the North Bund again to welcome the Far East Situation Observation Group and supplementary troops from the United States.

This time the momentum was so great that at nine o'clock in the morning, the troops of the First Battalion of the Fourth Marine Regiment of the United States took over the defense of the dock. Even the Japanese military police squad originally stationed at the dock was far away, let alone those puppet troops and spies. .

The observation group is composed of officials from the Far East Department of the State Council, representatives from the Army Department, Navy Department, and business circles. It is full of capitalist characteristics-politics, military, and business can be on the same team!

Because of the arrival of this delegation, it was not just military personnel who came to the dock. Political Counselor Justin Sheehan, Commercial Counselor Stephen Thain, Military Attache Rick Kelton and others from the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai also came. There were also representatives of American businessmen and expatriates, including Franklin Willis, director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and Targis Faulkner, general manager of Shanghai-Hainan Telephone Company.

In addition, the British Deputy Consul General Gurange Snow and the French Consul General Chuck Barthes also arrived with a large number of entourages; at the same time, there were also consular officials from the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Finland and other countries...

The most interesting thing is that German Consul General Benoit Walker and Japanese Consul General Miura Yoshiaki are also here!Well, the United States is now a neutral country, and its relations with Germany and Japan have been normalized, so it is normal for them to come.

At almost ten o'clock, the cruise ship boarded by the men of the American Far East Observation Group docked first, and the well-prepared American marines and marines stepped forward to guard it.

As the most "distinguished" guests on the ship, the more than [-] people from the observation group were naturally the first to disembark. When they stepped onto the dock, a welcoming team headed by Americans immediately stepped forward to greet them...

However, Li Junhao did not go over, and his deputy commander Xie Jinyuan and guard captain Lei Xiaohu did not move either; others included Lieutenant Colonel Dijie Cole, commander of the 15th Marine and Land Regiment, and Gate, the newly arrived commander of the [-]th Infantry Regiment. However, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Rupp, Colonel Art Schneider of the International Merchant Group, and others all passed.

Li Junhao understands this phenomenon. After all, people in the system have a natural awe for "Shangguan", but he doesn't care about this because he has already determined that his backstage is very tough, so tough that he doesn't even know it. Why to the extent!

This is of course a joke. At this time, all his thoughts are on the several passenger and cargo ships docking behind him. On them are the 5500 additional troops, guns, ammunition, and equipment he urgently needs!Compared with these, a group of observers, he didn't care at all.

However, he doesn't want to care about others, but others want to find him!
-
Li Junhao had just led the people around him to welcome the new recruits who had begun to disembark from the first passenger ship. The sergeant major who led the team saw a group of officers wearing American navy and army uniforms approaching and immediately saluted: "Sir, our department is The 1700th Marine Regiment Replenishment Group, with a total strength of [-], is disembarking."

Li Junhao returned the greeting and said: "Hello, sergeant major, I am Pan Sen, the first commander of the Shanghai-Haihai U.S. Joint Command. I am very happy to have you here." Then, he turned back and said: "Huzi, send someone to call Cole. Lieutenant Colonel." After saying that, he signaled to the sergeant major, stood up and walked towards the second passenger ship. Naturally, someone behind him stepped forward to dock with the sergeant major.

After the second passenger ship docked, the recruits who got off the bus were obviously dressed in army uniforms. Li Junhao did not come forward to speak, but asked people to find Lieutenant Colonel Rupp of the 15th Infantry Regiment.

At this time, he was already very unhappy. The chief officers of the two regiments did not do business and did not care about their recruits. Instead, they went to greet those officials and businessmen. What kind of bad habit was this?

The third passenger ship was obviously larger, and more soldiers disembarked. The leader was not the sergeant major, but several sea and land captains. Seeing him coming, the leader saluted and reported: "Sir, we are the supplement of the 327th sea and land regiment." The brigade, with a total of 2000 people, has now all arrived and is disembarking." Li Junhao replied: "Hello, Captain, I am Ognyan Lee, the first commander of the Shanghai-Hai Joint Command and the commander of the 327th Regiment. ·Pan Sen, nice to meet you, thank you for your hard work!"

"Hello, commander!" The captain saluted solemnly again, "Aplan Mullen, instructor of the first squadron of the 327th Regiment Supplementary Group, is reporting to you!"

"Hello, Commander! Instructor Megisi Carlo of the Second Squadron, reporting to you!"

Then came Captain Clifford Revere, the instructor of the [-]rd Squadron, Captain Les Kroeger, the instructor of the [-]th Squadron, Captain Gerald Dudley, the Chief Gunnery Instructor, and Clexi Henry, the Quartermaster, and six young The captain officers lined up and reported to Li Junhao.

After Li Junhao returned the greetings one by one, he said: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan, the deputy commander of the 327th Regiment. He is an excellent Chinese soldier..." Just as he said this, he heard someone calling him in the distance...

He did not look back and continued: "Deputy Commander Xie will be responsible for receiving you now. Obey orders and obey orders. This is what I ask of you! Organize the troops and I will meet you again in the camp!" He knew that there was some entertainment. It is unavoidable, but the prerequisite is to arrange the troops first.

Xie Jinyuan graduated from the National Guangdong University and later entered the fourth phase of Whampoa. He has a foundation in English. During the two and a half months after being rescued by Li Junhao, he was able to speak English proficiently in constant exchanges with the US Army's Fourth Marine Regiment. Of course, he was not embarrassed at this time, and immediately stepped forward to meet with the captains...

At this time, Xiaohu said beside him: "Brother Jun, someone is coming."

Li Junhao saw that Xie Jinyuan had already established contact with the six US captains leading the team, and then turned around and looked at the crowd approaching.

Walking in front of the crowd was an official from the Far East Department of the State Council, accompanied by Counselor Sheehan. When he saw Li Junhao turning around, he greeted him from a distance, and after taking a few quick steps, he reached out and said, "Mr. Pan Sen, I am Riggs McDaniel from the Far East Department, it’s a pleasure to meet you in this foreign country!”

Director McDaniel's attitude shocked everyone present - the young lieutenant colonel in front of him definitely had a hidden background!
Li Junhao was also a little surprised. The only thing he could think of was his relationship with Rockefeller. He remained calm, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said, "Hello, Mr. McDaniel, I'm glad to meet you too."

Next, McDaniel took the initiative to introduce everyone in the observation group to Li Junhao. His attitude surprised several navy and army officers in the group. They all smiled when he spoke, not to mention ordinary officials and Businessmen.

This situation made Commander Rupp, the commander of the 15th regiment who had stepped forward early, know who the master was!
