The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 471 Hello Teacher!
Two days later, a ship sailing directly from Tokyo to Shanghai arrived at the Wusongkou dock occupied by the Japanese Navy to welcome the domestic visiting delegation.

The Japanese really made careful preparations this time.

Those who came were all elite figures in Japan. If anything happened to any of them, the officials stationed in Shanghai would be in trouble.

Especially the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, which is responsible for security.

Therefore, except for those who were specially allowed, only Japanese were allowed to enter the dock. Military police were dispatched to impose martial law on the road from the dock to the Ritz-Carlton, Manhattan Beach, to ensure the safety of the visiting group.

Of course, newspapers had already begun to build momentum before the delegation arrived, mainly those controlled by the Wang Puppet regime.

Such a high-level delegation came from Japan to Nanjing to participate in the ceremony of returning to the capital. Although it was not an official recognition by the Japanese government, it was also a disguised recognition of Wang’s government.

If there isn't even this little bit of excitement, then the Wang government will really become a joke.

There was also a delegation from the puppet Manchukuo, but they had arrived in Shanghai earlier and were waiting for a train to go to Nanjing.

Chiyoko helped Cheng Mo get a special pass, and he was allowed to enter the Wusongkou Wharf to welcome the visiting group.

The only person he wanted to meet was Hideo Morita; he didn't even bother to get to know anyone else.

Although they were family members of the visiting delegation members, they were still arranged among the general welcoming crowd. This was not a private visit, so naturally it was mainly for official business.

As the welcome music played.

The visiting group, led by a count from the House of Lords, slowly walked down the gangway, waving to the welcoming crowd on the shore as they walked.

Japanese people are generally not tall, especially when they get older, their bones and muscles shrink, and they will be much shorter when they are old than when they were young.

These short people all came down the high gangway, looking like a group of monkeys.

This kind of feeling can only be kept in mind. If you speak it out, you will definitely be beaten, especially when there are Japanese people all around.

Cheng Mo and Chiyoko didn't want to be in the spotlight, so they deliberately stood back. Otherwise, with his height, if he stood at the front of the welcoming team, he would definitely stand out like a crane among chickens.

Of course, even if he was standing at the back, anyone who was familiar with him would be able to recognize him at a glance, so there was no need to worry that Hideo Morita in the visiting group would not recognize him.

Hideo Morita should be in his fifties, less than sixty. He grew up in a well-off family and was considered tall among Japanese, at about 1.65 meters. At a time when the average height of Japanese men was only about 1.5 meters, he was considered tall.

Therefore, Chiyoko's height of 1.6 meters is also inherited from his height gene.

A top hat, a tuxedo, a walking stick, and the iconic upturned moustache, these are attire that bears the mark of the times.

Dr. Morita was at the end of the delegation carrying a large suitcase. He walked slowly over, his eyes searching among the welcoming crowd on the shore. He hadn't seen his daughter for two years. As a father, he naturally missed this self-willed and somewhat rebellious girl very much.

When she saw her father, Chiyoko burst into tears instantly and waved her arms vigorously, hoping that her father could see her as soon as possible.

Dr. Morita's eyes had long been presbyopic, but with the connection between father and daughter, he immediately saw his daughter in the crowd, and the tall and straight Cheng Mo standing beside her.

Hideo Morita smiled like a child and waved his arms at them to show that he saw it.

"Dad saw us, Dad saw us..." Chiyoko turned her head excitedly and shouted to Cheng Mo.

"Yes, the teacher saw us." Cheng Mo smiled and said that he saw it.

"Cheng Mojun, we'll go see dad in a while, okay?" Chiyoko looked at Cheng Mo with hope. "I came here today to see the teacher."

After getting Cheng Mo's affirmative answer, Chiyoko's cheeks flushed.

The visiting group has a special car to pick them up, so outsiders don't need to worry about it. This is also a unified action to avoid accidents.

It is imperative to ensure that the visiting delegation will not encounter any problems after participating in the Wang Puppet Government’s capital-changing ceremony.

Afterwards, members of the visiting group should be able to move freely. After all, the work is done, and the big shots also need a little freedom. They have come here with great difficulty, and there are not many opportunities.

Seeing the representatives of the visiting group get on the car specially arranged by the consulate, the welcoming crowd slowly dispersed, and Cheng Mo also pulled Chiyoko: "Let's go, let's go to the hotel."

Others may not be able to see the members of the visiting group, but Chiyoko, as a daughter and a consulate staff member, has the best chance of seeing them.

Even Cheng Mo was allowed to enter the Ritz Hotel.

If it weren't for this relationship, even if he was Hideo Morita's student, he would not be qualified to enter the heavily guarded Ritz Hotel.

The two drove to the Ritz-Carlton, Chicago, where the representatives of the visiting group had already checked in. With so many people checking in at once, the hotel was very busy.

The two of them took the small gifts they had prepared and prepared to visit.

They were stopped by the Japanese Marines standing guard at the door. Chiyoko showed her special pass and checked their belongings before letting them in.

The hotel had already received the list of visiting groups and arranged the rooms in advance, so when everyone arrived, they were given keys and checked in.

Chiyo, as the daughter, knew the list and room number very well. She didn't even need to check with the front desk and directly took Cheng Mo to Room 206.

Hideo Morita was arranged to live in this suite. He was alone and did not need a very big room, but he liked the river view, so Chiyoko made a little effort and arranged her father to live in this room facing the Huangpu River.

After sitting on the boat for two days, Hideo Morita was indeed a little tired. As soon as he arrived at the hotel, he wanted to take a rest. After all, there was a welcome reception specially arranged for them in the evening.

Most of the people in the visiting group are old guys like him who are over 50 years old. If they don't rest, they will not be able to bear it.

He hadn't been to China for many years, and this time he was revisiting an old place, but he didn't notice much change.

Just now, when he was sitting in the car and saw the ruined buildings in the distance outside the window, he was filled with emotion.

Why should a country go to war when it is a good country?
As a result, many families were broken up and many people were separated from their wives and children.

The Huangpu River is still the same Huangpu River. There is no sight of thousands of ships competing on the river. Instead, there are warships showing off their might, flying the Japanese naval flag and national flag.

I was standing silently in front of the window, when suddenly a doorbell rang behind me.

Someone is visiting.

Hideo Morita quickly turned around and walked over to open the door.

"Mr. Morita."
