Chiang Kai-shek was startled, "Excuse me, Commander, which Mr. Xu are you talking about?"

"Zhongzheng, you don't even know Mr. Xu? How many more Mr. Xu can there be in the Chinese Empire? Of course, it's Mr. Xu Shichang, the Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Army Department."

"Oh? Master Xu is coming to Shanghai?" Chiang Kai-shek pretended to be surprised, but his heart burst into ecstasy. He never thought that Chen Qimei could entrust him with such an important task.

"Yeah, Mr. Xu is a very popular figure around the emperor, and he is also the highest officer of the Imperial Army. Such a big man came to Shanghai, it is a credit to our face. If you can successfully complete the task of guarding, then you will be a high-ranking official in the future. Just around the corner." Chen Qimei said with a smile.

"Students must live up to their mission and win glory for the Commander and Shanghai!"

Three days later, Xu Shichang, Chief of the General Staff of the Army Department, arrived in Shanghai accompanied by a group of senior military officials. The train stopped at Shanghai Central Station. Chiang Kai-shek and 300 guards from the Garrison Command had been waiting at the station for an entire hour.The train spewed out a long stream of white gas and stopped slowly. Immediately after the door opened, Xu Shichang and others walked down the hanging ladder and shook hands with senior officials of the Shanghai Municipal Government and military who came to welcome them.Of course, Chiang Kai-shek had no chance to go there. Chen Qimei personally drafted the security mission this time, and he was fully responsible for it.The guards took the train as the center point and radiated around the station until they reached the Pujiang Avenue in front of the station. Chiang Kai-shek had calculated in advance that there was a straight-line distance of [-] meters from the train to the Pujiang Avenue. To be on the safe side, he sent the [-] guards Divided into several groups, occupying the two exits of the station and the high positions on several stairs, closely watching all the movements in the station.

Although the central station is under martial law at this time, and all lines are suspended between 6:7 p.m. and [-]:[-] p.m. when the train arrives, there are still many station attendants busy walking around the station from time to time.Most annoying are the journalists waiting outside the station.Chiang Kai-shek knew very well that when the emperor was in Shanghai and was about to return to Luan, he was assassinated here by a Japanese spy pretending to be a reporter, which almost caused a catastrophe.But reporters have the right to interview, and it is impossible to completely interfere with other people's interview freedom, which puts a certain pressure on the security task.

At that time, Yuan Shikai had just launched a rebellion in Singapore. Xu Shichang came here to inspect the security and espionage work in Shanghai and prevent Yuan Shikai's clique from infiltrating the imperial economic center.Although Shanghai is located in the eastern corner, who can guarantee that there will be no followers of Yuan Ni here.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

At this time, Xu Shichang and others had just walked to the first gate inside the station, followed by some handymen far behind to check in various luggage, and there were three station duty rooms on both sides of the gate.A large group of reporters who had been waiting for a long time flocked to the scene. Under the interception of the guards, they took pictures at a distance of more than [-] meters from Xu Shichang. For a while, the sound of flashlights came and went, and the dazzling light made people unable to open their eyes.

Chiang Kai-shek stared at the people around Xu Shichang with his eyes wide open in the distance. When the flashlights shot randomly, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if a figure had entered the crowd. He immediately rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. Look, at this time, the crowd was already on his side, and he couldn't see their faces. He panicked in his heart, hoping that he had read correctly, and hurriedly called his guards in a soft voice, while running forward quickly.

In just two or three seconds, he rushed to the front of the crowd at a speed of sprinting [-] meters, searching the crowd with piercing eyes...

really!A strange face suddenly appeared on the periphery of the crowd. This person was wearing the military uniform of an army major officer, and his hat was lowered. Following the movement of the crowd, he approached Xu Shichang little by little...

At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek's heart almost jumped out, could that person be an assassin!It is also possible that I misread it, that is the officer who came with Xu Shichang, but what if it is not?

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to attack rashly when he could not determine the identity of the opponent. If he made a wrong judgment, his military career would probably end there.But with his identity, he has no right to be close to the crowd. The task Chen Qimei gave him at the beginning was to guard the periphery and not allow him to approach Xu Gong.

At this time, the crowd had already moved to a distance of about 40 meters from them, and they were about to reach the gate of the station. The strange officer also followed the movement of the crowd and quietly moved to a position more than ten meters behind Xu Shichang.Chiang Kai-shek clearly saw that person stretching his right hand towards his waist...

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 575 Meet Xu Shichang

At this moment, there was no time left, and Chiang Kai-shek could tell that the officer must be plotting something wrong. Seeing that the other party took out a black thing from his waist, but it was too far away to see clearly, what should we do?

In the blink of an eye, Chiang Kai-shek had no time to think, raised his pistol, pointed it at the man's head, and pulled the trigger fiercely. Due to the long distance and the relatively concealed position of the man, if the shot was fired Not good, it is very likely to accidentally injure other people, but Chiang Kai-shek had no time to think about it so much, just heard a "pop", the bullet rushed out of the barrel, and flew over with a scream at a distance of about 30 meters , right in the middle of the man's head.The bullet entered through his right eye, penetrated the entire skull, and exited from the back of the head.The man didn't even snort. He jerked his head back suddenly, and then fell on his back to the ground.

Everyone at the scene was stunned by this sudden scene, even Xu Shichang changed his color, and the accompanying guards couldn't help but draw out their guns one after another, aimed at Chiang Kai-shek's chest, and quickly surrounded him, spitting out Shouted in a series of voices: "Put the gun down, put the gun down..."

Knowing that the other party mistook him for an assassin, Chiang Kai-shek honestly put the gun on the ground and shouted: "I am a guard of the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters, and I am responsible for guarding missions. There are assassins in the crowd. I was killed just now." I kill."

Several people controlled Chiang Kai-shek, and several others rushed to the steaming corpse...

Chiang Kai-shek was beating drums in his heart, Amitabha, I hope there is no mistake, if that person is really Xu Gong's entourage, then his own will be miserable.

I didn't have much effort, I just heard the person over there report to Xu Shichang: "My lord, this man is indeed an assassin, and he still holds a pistol in his hand, please have a look."

Xu Shichang took the pistol and looked at it, only to see that the bullets of the pistol had been pushed into the barrel, and the nose of the machine had been opened. It was really dangerous. If it was too late, his life would be gone. He looked at the assassin, He was sure that it was definitely not his entourage, so he forced himself to calm down and said: "The assassin has been executed, everyone, don't panic, let's go."

Xu Shichang passed by Chiang Kai-shek, looked him up and down a few times, nodded without speaking, and led the crowd away.Chiang Kai-shek was left alone in the Central Station of Nuoda University.The time was not long, Chen Qimei ran over in a panic, and said to Chiang Kai-shek who was still in a daze: "What's going on, what's going on, I personally arranged for Mr. Xu to stay and eat at the Whampoa Hotel, and when I heard the news, I couldn't stop. Here we come."

Chiang Kai-shek was still in a daze, his heart sank slowly.A few guards nearby hurriedly told Chen Qimei what happened just now. Chen Qimei stomped her feet anxiously, pointed to Chiang Kai-shek and said, "Zhongzheng, Zhongzheng, what kind of person is Xu Gong? In the case of an assassination, the last time it was the emperor, this time it was Mr. Xu. I am afraid that even the mayor and I would have to walk away. I heard that Mr. Xu only said one sentence after leaving the central station: Shanghai is really a dangerous place .What does this mean? It is clearly blaming us for our lack of protection. This time you are finished, and I am also finished, and you still want to make a fortune in the future, fart!"

Chen Qimei scolded endlessly, turned around and was about to leave, then turned around and said: "Your task has been completed, I have arranged for someone else to be in charge of security for the rest of the itinerary, you should go back to the headquarters and wait for disposal."

"Yes." Chiang Kai-shek replied in a daze.

Everyone left, and after a while, Chiang Kai-shek let out a long breath, and returned to his duty room at the garrison headquarters in a daze.My heart was agitated, the scene just now kept flashing in my mind, it's over, it's over, since Commander Chen said so, his future is considered to be over, but if he didn't shoot the assassin in time at that moment, what would happen?The result may only get worse, and I can't even keep the guy who eats.What can I do now, I can only resign myself to fate.

Thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek only felt that his whole body was heavy like lead, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and fell asleep on the table.

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by a rapid ringing of the phone, and he hurriedly picked up the receiver: "Shanghai Garrison Headquarters..."

On the other side of the microphone was Chen Qimei's voice, which seemed very urgent: "Zhongzheng, don't leave there, I will send a car to pick you up later."

"Pick me up? Why?"

"Xu Gong called to see you, you must not leave, the car will be here in a while."

Putting down the phone, Chiang Kai-shek looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was exactly 11:40 in the evening. He thought about it, how could Mr. Xu meet me well? What can I do?Could it be...Could it be that I got into trouble this time, and in order to get rid of her guilt, Chen Qimei planned to send someone to kill me. She was afraid that I would get suspicious, so she first moved Mr. Xu out to stabilize me?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. What if this is the case?Anyway, if the basket is broken, nothing good will happen. It is better to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible, so as to save your life first.

Having made up his mind, Chiang Kai-shek planned to quietly leave the garrison headquarters. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a burst of car horns, and the headlights of the car were shining on him. The two dazzling lights were like the eyes of death. He was wrapped up all over...

It was late at night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. The car was driving like flying, turning left and right, making Chiang Kai-shek dizzy. After driving for about 10 minutes, there was a long brake sound, and the car stopped. As soon as the car door was opened, Chiang Kai-shek never expected that Chen Qimei, the security commander, was waiting outside in person, and said to Chiang Kai-shek with an unusually solemn expression: "Quick, Mr. Xu is waiting for you up there."

Chiang Kai-shek looked up in a daze, and saw four large characters on this luxurious building: Whampoa Hotel.

He followed Chen Qimei into the gate of the Whampoa Hotel. Like a dream, he passed through the gorgeous halls and corridors and arrived at the fifth floor of the hotel. The security here is heavily guarded, and the guards are like wooden sculptures. Standing there, Chen Qimei said a few words to one of the officers, and two soldiers interrogated him and Chiang Kai-shek. Afterwards, the two of them were led by the officer to the door of Room 1 at the innermost part of the corridor.

Chen Qimei said to Chiang Kai-shek in a low voice: "When you go in, be alert, what should be said and what should not be said, you have to have a sense of proportion, understand?"

Chiang Kai-shek suddenly nodded, and then walked into the door of Room 1...

The decoration inside is very gorgeous, with thick Middle Eastern carpets, crystal chandeliers, and gold-plated wallpapers all declaring the special identity of the owner.There is a very large desk in the front, and a person is sitting behind the desk, writing something under the lamp.The officer walked over first, said a few words softly, the man waved his hand, the officer stood at attention and saluted, and then left the room.

"Come, come and talk." Behind the desk, a steady voice said.

Feeling nervous for a while, Chiang Kai-shek adjusted his military uniform on the spot, let out a deep breath, and walked over.When he got close, he could see clearly that this person was exactly Xu Shichang whom he saw at the station today.

"Sit down." Xu Shichang continued writing without looking up.

Chiang Kai-shek squinted at the sofa next to him, but stood still.

After three or five minutes, Xu Shichang put down his pen and looked up. Chiang Kai-shek was standing upright on the spot, smiled slightly, and said, "Sit down."

"I don't dare to sit down because of my humble status and low status." Chiang Kai-shek said solemnly.

Xu Shichang nodded, "Now, you are my guest, you should sit down and talk, it will be more natural."

"Yes." Chiang Kai-shek didn't dare to disobey, so he sat on the sofa cautiously, his upper body was straight, and he didn't dare to sit firmly. He just leaned slightly on the edge of the sofa with his buttocks. I feel tired even looking at it.

Xu Shichang smiled again and asked, "Your name is Chiang Kai-shek?"

Chiang Kai-shek immediately stood up, stood at attention and said: "Jiang Jieshi, a low-ranking officer, styled Zhongzheng, was born in Fenghua, Zhejiang Province. He is a student of the ninth period of the Imperial Army University. He stayed at the school as an instructor. He is currently working as a security guard at the Shanghai Garrison Command."

"Oh? So, you are still a military talent, and being a small guard is a bit inferior."

"I don't think so. I think that soldiers should take obedience as their bounden duty. No matter what they do, they must be conscientious. They always have a heart of worrying about the country and self-denial to help others." Chiang Kai-shek's voice was very loud. Although he was nervous in his heart, on the surface he was can not tell.

Xu Shichang said with a smile: "Well said! Sit down and talk." He pointed to the sofa again.

Chiang Kai-shek sat down again.

"Before, Chen Qimei and I have talked about it, and I have some understanding of your resume. Although you are a guard, your resume is extraordinary. You have traveled to Japan twice to study abroad, and you are still teaching at the Imperial Continent. This shows that you have Rich in military theory, the empire is in need of such talents." Xu Shichang's seemingly casual words moved Chiang Kai-shek's heart. It seemed that Mr. Xu didn't seem to be embarrassing himself, but he seemed to have the intention of promoting him. Anyway, This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must be seized, must be seized!

Thinking of this, he stood up again and replied: "I dare not say that I have spiritual insights, but I always pay attention to the facts, and I also have some own understanding."

"Really? That's good. I'm going to test you today. At present, the southern province of the empire is in rebellion. Yuan Shikai's rebel army is in full swing, embezzling Vietnam, Siam, Laos and other provinces, and their troops are targeting Yunnan and Guizhou. How do you feel about this rebellion?" See? It’s just the two of us now, you can speak freely without any scruples.” Xu Shichang looked at Chiang Kai-shek with burning eyes.
