Revolution 1938

() In Puhai in May, there will always be a little fog in the morning. Looking down from the upstairs of the Macquarie Bank, the sails and sampans on the Huangpu River busy with livelihood appear and disappear in the river fog. This scene Oftentimes, Fei Langde, who is used to drinking red wine early in the morning and looking into the distance, has the feeling of being God standing on the clouds.

But today, I don’t know if it was the reason for the ups and downs of the battle yesterday or God has gone away. Shanghai at 9 o’clock is already sunny, and there is no usual river fog on the Huangpu River downstairs. Instead, two ships that never Great ship I've seen.

Although Ferlande observed with a telescope for a long time, he only saw that the small naval gun on the bow was a bit lethal, but the depths of his soul kept reminding him that the fighting machine in front of him It's not as simple as it looks.Especially the unfamiliar battle flag and the sailors with guns on the deck made people feel different.

After staring for a while, there were already noisy footsteps outside the door of the manager's office, and the directors of the bank came.Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Ferlender clapped his hands, and the waiter by the door opened the door, then took out the chilled champagne from the ice bucket, and wiped the bottle clean with the towel on his left hand, after finishing everything Chili retreated.

"Ferland, have you figured out what happened last night? The guns rang out all night, and my beautiful Sally was restless all night. She didn't even have any interest in enjoying my caresses."

"Give me a glass of champagne to calm my shock. I didn't sleep in the villa in the concession yesterday. It scared me to death. My little Fengxian is on Sichuan North Road. The sound of guns and guns is so loud. This is going to be a miserable time for Xiaori." "The executive director with a crooked bow tie, Reynado rushed to the sofa and chattered while pouring himself champagne. "Falland, did you see that mushroom cloud yesterday? You don't know. At that time, it was right above my head, and the tongues of fire were strewn about in the mushroom cloud. At that moment, I felt that I was going back to the embrace of God."

"I saw it. Three roses rose in Shanghai yesterday. It looks like Ri himself lost three ammunition depots. By the way, Renado, when you came from Hongkou, did you see who was attacking Ri himself?"

"I see, they are Asians, they don't look like the Chinese army, but where are the East Asians who can fight with Ri himself now? By the way, I passed by No. 1 Jiangwan Road, which has already been occupied. It seems to have become the headquarters of the new army, I saw the military flag, there are 1 big 4 small 5 stars on the red background, does anyone know which country it is from?"

"I don't remember any country with such a national flag. It sounds very similar to the military flag of Soviet Russia."

"Have you all forgotten the power-up 5 days ago?" Fei Langde, who had been listening to the directors nagging, suddenly interjected, "Do you remember what was said in the power-up? They only gave Ri himself 5 days, and today is the 6th God, last night's fight started after midnight"

"You're talking about the power-up that was released in 5 languages? Didn't everyone say it was a joke made by the labor bandits in the south?"

"Do you think the current appearance is a joke?" While talking, Ferd pointed to the Huangpu River outside the window.

"The labor bandits have warships since then. Judging by the tonnage, it is estimated that there are two cruisers. But why does the cruiser only have one gun? It really is a poor labor bandit."

"Okay, the gunshots have stopped for a long time, I guess we will soon know who is hitting Ri himself." While talking, Ferlender shook the champagne glass in his hand.Going to the window and looking downstairs, there are many chariots parked at the entrance of the Japanese Zhengjin Bank not far away, and the heavy machine guns on the roof exude a blue light under the sunshine, full of chills the taste of. "Zhengjin is over," Ferrod said to himself.

When Ferd was worried about his future, he didn't know that their fate had already been decided when the morning came.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, at the Waibaidu Bridge, the Indian guards stationed at the south end of the Waibaidu Bridge were surprised to find that they were surrounded by a group of colorful soldiers. Although it was their duty to resist at this time, look at the guards around. The Lee-Enfield rifle in their hands, and then looking at the short guns exuding black and blue colors in the other party's hands, and the machine gun pointed at them from the top of the chariot not far away, the three of them wisely chose to raise their hands surrender.

At this time, a soldier with eyes got off the chariot and walked straight to the bearded man with a red ribbon on his chest, "Sergeant, are you the commander of you guys?"

"No, no, I'm just on duty here today. Our commander is Colonel William. He...he won't come over until this afternoon. He usually stays at the embassy."

"Okay, your Colonel William, we will look for him. You are the highest rank here. I will officially inform you that Puhai has been liberated by our Chinese People's Liberation Army. From today, the public concession in Puhai will also be closed. History. We will escort you back to your embassy or barracks, and then monitor you to leave Puhai, is there a problem?"

"No, no problem"

"Okay, take them down." The major with glasses waved his hand, then got back into the chariot, the convoy started, crossed the Waibaidu Bridge, and headed for the Industrial Bureau Building.

After the convoy, a large number of soldiers and chariots crossed the Suzhou River. This is the first time since September 1853, 9 that the Chinese army has re-entered this unreasonable country within a country as the master. The bewildered compatriots watching from the north of the Suzhou Creek, or the white Kuotai who was walking in the riverside park in the morning, and their servants all stared at this scene with dumbstruck eyes.

The torrent of chariots and soldiers gradually disappeared in the eyes of all the onlookers, and the death-like silence did not last long. I don’t know who started it. The sparse applause sounded, and then gradually spread, until finally in Suzhou Hebei Shore gathered into deafening cheers.Among the cheers and applause sporadically, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from far away.

These voices are mixed together like a cry, yes, the cry in the hearts of the Chinese people, this is the cry of the Chinese people for nearly a hundred years, and today, they can finally shout out, and finally the country within a country will become a thing of the past.Chinese people will live freely in Puhai, and will not encounter someone who tells them "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter".

At the moment when the people of the country were cheering and celebrating, it was a different scene in the building of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.At this time, in the office of the president of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Fei Xindun was looking at the two men and one woman in front of him.

Just now, while waiting for the notification of the battle that took place in the Japanese Concession yesterday, the female secretary ran up in a panic and said that the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry was occupied. A beautiful lady in a modified western-style suit, and the two men in strange military uniforms were obviously just accompanying personnel.

"Mr. Fessenden, hello, I am Tang Yan, the person in charge of the foreign affairs of the South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In addition to reporting yesterday's battle, I also need to inform Mr. President of our South China Sea Fleet's latest information on the public concession. Decide."

"Ms. Tang, hello. I can speak Chinese. We can communicate in Chinese. Before we talk, I would like to protest your actions. Your attack and occupation of the public concession is against the United States, Britain, Japan, etc. Trample on the sovereignty of the country, I hereby strongly protest to you..."

"Your Excellency Mr. Fessenden, this is China's land. It has been in the past, it is now, and it will always be in the future. Therefore, the trampling on your country's so-called sovereignty you mentioned does not exist at all."

While speaking, Tang Yan gracefully shifted her legs from left to right, and leaned against the back of the sofa.

"Starting today, the existence of a country within a country like the concession will become history. We, the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the South China Sea Fleet Branch of the Chinese Workers' Party, hereby solemnly inform you that the Puhai public concession will no longer continue, and all public concessions belong to We will not recognize all the unequal treaties signed between the country and the Manchu Qing and subsequent Chinese political groups."

"All foreigners' activities in Puhai must abide by the laws specified by the Chinese government. We will investigate all violations in accordance with the law. The relevant laws will be announced to the world at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. It is announced that the hard copies can be requested from the Foreign Affairs Office of the People's Government of Puhai City, which will be established tomorrow."

"And today, I am here to inform you that after this morning's battle, we spent 4 hours annihilating all the Japanese invading forces entrenched in Puhai, and have completely liberated Puhai.

In addition, we will investigate the relevant personnel of the so-called Restoration Government of the Republic of China who cooperated with the Japanese invading army, so I hope that you will hand over the relevant personnel without us being violent."

"You are acting like a robber. Our public concession did not intervene in the war between you and the Japanese. We are a neutral area and are protected by international conventions."

"I'm sorry, Sir Mr. Fessenden, this public concession, the so-called state within a state, is itself illegal, so the international agreement does not control you.

In addition, if you want to harbor those traitors, we will prosecute you for the crime of harboring, and you will be sentenced to 5 to 10 years in prison, so I hope you will respect yourself”

"The soon-to-be-established Puhai People's Government welcomes people from friendly countries to invest, travel and live.

But the premise is that we must abide by the relevant laws of our country. Therefore, if you come to make money, we welcome you. If you want to rely on past experience to conquer us by force, we will let all those with bad intentions know what hell is.

At that time, your God will never help you.Alright, I won’t bother you anymore, please stay awhile, we still have to inform the authorities of the French Concession, please listen to the telegram tomorrow for the specific content, or go to the seat of the Puhai People’s Government to ask for relevant documents.Thanks! "

After saying this, Tang Yan didn't give Fei Xindun a chance to speak. She stood up and walked out of the president's office with her entourage. Fei Xindun, who was speechless, could only stand quietly at the window, watching Tang Yan go to the battlefield. The car drove to the French Concession.

In the subsequent French Concession Board of Directors, a similar scene happened again. With the arrival of troops from various places, the once-state-within-a-state, the largest concession in China, came to an end.

……

At 6:[-] p.m., near dusk, at No. [-] Jiangwan Road, Xia Haian and Li Kaixin stood at the window with bottles of mineral water, looking at the blood-red sunset in the west.

"Puhai deserves to be called the city of demons. There are so many monsters and ghosts from all walks of life. It will take a lot of effort to deal with them!"

"Hehe, yes, but it's already dusk, they can't jump very high, don't worry about being your mayor." While speaking, Xia Haian unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and took a big sip.Outside the window, the blood-red sunset has long since disappeared, leaving only the afterglow to dye the clouds in the sky into blood.
