King of Secret Service

Liang Xiao smiled and said: "You can promise the western countries that we will return the French Concession to the British country as soon as possible. If they want a specific date, it will take a certain amount of time for you to withdraw from the French Concession. In addition, our side in the French Concession They have invested in a lot of industries and need to move out the concession a little bit, and when the work is over, the concession will naturally be returned to them.”

"As long as we drag the German Empire to make a move in Europe, Great Britain can't care about a small concession."

The committee has iron-blooded political skills. It's not that he didn't think about the procrastination that Liang Xiao said. It's just that if it continues like this, the war loans from the United States and other countries to our country will be put on hold. There is no US dollar loan. What does he use to feed millions of national troops.

"The government needs funds to maintain people's livelihood, and the army needs military funds to fight the war, but the war has destroyed our normal tax revenue. Without money, what can we use to fight the Japanese invaders."

Liang Xiao sighed slightly: "Principal, don't worry, even if there is no US dollar loan, we can still be self-sufficient. Students have built a material channel from Xiangjiang port to the mainland, which can continuously send the urgently needed materials from abroad back to the mainland. In addition, as long as The Jiangnan area is still there: in our hands, we have inexhaustible military supplies.”

"We have material channels, but we don't have the funds to buy them. What's the use of material channels?"

Appointment Road.

Liang Xiao was momentarily at a loss for words. He couldn't tell the committee that his Baiyao had already been deployed in Europe. As soon as a war broke out in Europe, his Baiyao would become the most popular anti-infective drug in the world. At that time, there would be countless Real money, I'm afraid I don't have the funds to buy materials.

Of course, he cannot tell the committee members these words.

"Principal, the students want to have a talk with the German diplomats first. What is the result of the talks? The students will inform you later via a secret message. It is up to you to decide whether to form an alliance with the German Empire. If you decide not to make peace: the German Empire Form an alliance, we can return the French Concession. If we decide to form an alliance with the German Empire, the French Concession can only be in our hands. As for those... Western countries, we can have a hundred reasons to delay go down."

Liang Xiao laughed and said: "With the excellent performance of our army in war, the western countries will not send troops to attack us again. After all, the Eastern people become stronger, which is the last thing they want to see."

"It's reasonable to say that a powerful jackal is something that all tigers don't want to see."

The commissioner nodded.

He pondered for a while, and said: "Don't say anything about it beforehand, you should contact the officials of the German Empire in secret, and tell me what they mean in full, and I will decide whether to form an alliance with them. As for the concession matter, Just follow what you said, let the diplomats talk to these Westerners.

.

go."

"Thanks to the principal for his trust, the students will surely live up to the principal's trust."

Liang Xiao smiled confidently, he knew that this trip would have good results.

"Don't say these things. If there are... similar things in the future, report them to me in advance. Don't start every time. It will make me very passive in the National Committee meeting."

The commissioner said angrily.

"Yes, the student remembered."

Liang Xiao sneered in his heart. If he didn't do this, he would look forward and backward with his submissive nature, fearing wolves and tigers in the future. In the end, he would only miss the golden opportunity of rising in vain.

"Let's talk about it later."

A smile finally appeared on the gloomy face of the committee member, he waved his hand to call the guards at the door, and asked the guards to inform the kitchen that the food is ready to be served.

"Knowing that you came, I asked the kitchen to make Shancheng's wontons and steamed buns for you, as well as sweet and sour carp and braised pork knuckle. These are all your favorites."

6Chapter 16 The Great Thief, Liang Xiao

In the lobby of the mansion, on the dining table on the first floor.

There are all kinds of snacks in front of Liang Xiao, of course, they are all local characteristics, there are local flavors of Sichuan and Chongqing, and there are snacks from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Meat is only chicken, duck and fish, and most of them are snacks and snacks.

He is not very interested in meat, but more interested in wontons and steamed buns. He ate two bowls of wontons, three steamed buns, a few dim sum, and a few chopsticks of sweet and sour carp.

The committee member sat opposite him, eating snacks slowly, absent-minded, as if thinking about something.

Also, for such a big matter, as the leader of a country, how can he have the mood to eat and drink.

Liang Xiao didn't care...

So much, eat what you need to eat, drink what you need to drink, and act as if nothing happened.

After eating and drinking.

He had another long talk with the commissioner, and after everything was settled, he came out of the official residence.

It was past two o'clock in the morning when we came out.

In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan in late autumn, the night is a bit cold, he is still wearing a summer military uniform, and the autumn wind is blowing, and he feels a little cold unconsciously.

come to the door.

Chen Hua and his entourage are still waiting.

"General."

Chen Hua hurried forward after seeing him.

"There is no need to say anything. Tonight we will go back to stay at the Southern Bureau's left-behind office, and return to Shanghai early tomorrow morning."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Chen Hua nodded and went down to make arrangements.

The car that sent them to the left-behind office of the Southern Bureau was still the car of the Commissioned Attendant.

At around three o'clock that night, Liang Xiao and his party stayed at the left-behind office of the Southern Bureau of the Military Intelligence Investigation and Statistics Bureau.

...... Early the next morning.

Liang Xiao ordered Li Huan, director of the left-behind department of the Southern Bureau, to dispatch more than a dozen vehicles to take them to the airport.

Dai Yunong, who heard the wind, wanted to see him, but he sent someone to stop him.

As for... Dai Yunong, Liang Xiao really doesn't want to see him. This old fox is like a poisonous snake. If you don't pay attention, he will bite you. It's better to deal less with such people. Of course, if there is One day when he needs to get rid of this poisonous snake, he will definitely hit the snake seven inches, so that it will never recover.

Shapingba Airport.

They boarded the plane and left.

This time he came to the mountain city, he didn't see anyone except... the committee member.

By the time he took the opportunity to leave, he hadn't seen any spokesperson for any of the forces.

Around noon:.

Three kamikaze fighter jets guarded his special plane and landed at Hongqiao Airport.

Because the Jiangnan area was still in heavy rain, the plane landed very unsatisfactorily and almost rolled over. Fortunately, it landed safely without any danger.

After getting off the plane, he went directly to the headquarters of the new No.12 Army.

The predecessor of the new No.12 Army was the Loyalty and Nation Salvation Army. It was the first army to gallop with him on the Songhu battlefield. It fought many tough battles and victories. The position of the No.12 Army is higher than that of any new army. Even the 66th Army of the Cantonese Army, which he annexed, is like the new No.12 Army in his heart.

The officers and soldiers of the new No.12 Army are almost all from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Most of the officers and soldiers were the backbone members of the gang before they went to the battlefield.

This time to regain the French Concession, Yu Likui only dispatched a reorganization division and two troops from the military headquarters to take the entire French Concession within two hours. In terms of combat effectiveness and speed of action, this is particularly commendable.

Of course, Liang Xiao braved the heavy rain to come to the headquarters of the newly formed [-]th Army, not... to reward the officers and soldiers of the newly formed [-]th Army.

He came to the headquarters of the Twelfth Army this time with only one purpose, to issue a garrison order to the newly formed No.12 Army. On their garrison positions, there will be an additional area in the future, the original French Concession, and now the Nationalist Area.

New No.12 Army, Military Department.

When Liang Xiao came, Yu Likui and Chief of Staff Jin Peng happened to be there.

"Seat is good."

After Yu Likui saluted, he hurriedly asked: "The mountain city you went to yesterday, you flew back to Shanghai today, but the above has a final decision on our recovery of the foreign concession."

Liang Xiao glanced at him, and said slowly: "The conclusion has been reached, and the higher-ups temporarily agreed with my opinion, that is to say, there will be no such three words as the French Concession in the future. And then..., only our police station and garrison."

hear this.

Both Yu Likui and Jin Peng were quite happy.

After all, if they can take back the once-prosperous French Concession, the names of the two of them will definitely be recorded in the history books in the future.

"Boss, the news announcement issued by the staff yesterday has caused great repercussions from all walks of life. Many patriots have called our new No. 12 Army to thank us, and some people have scolded our new No. 12 Army for not knowing how to advance or retreat. .”

Chief of Staff Jin Pengdao.

"It doesn't matter. Whether it is merit or demerit, future generations will judge."

Liang Xiao waved his hand.

"What the humble official cares about is not these......, but someone pointed the finger at you, saying that you deliberately provoked a war, so as to support yourself, and even said that you are a thief."

Jin Peng Road.

"Where's the news?"

Liang Xiao asked lightly. He was very open to these things. In his position, it is normal for some people to be happy and others to be jealous.

"Look at this newspaper."

Jin Peng casually took the Ta Kung Pao and handed it to him.

Liang Xiao took the newspaper and looked at it, laughed out loud, pointed to the headline on the front page of the newspaper and said: "Liang Feiyu, a thief who steals the country, embraces his own strength and deliberately provokes wars, bringing disaster to the country and the people, heinous heinous."

"President, calm down, I have sent people to the newspaper office of Ta Kung Pao to investigate. As long as you find the reporter who wrote this article, you can find the mastermind behind the scenes. Let him go on with such unscrupulous nonsense."

Yu Likui hurriedly said.

"Don't make a fuss, it's just...a report. As for the main messenger behind the scenes, they just want to take advantage of this to destroy my impression in the hearts of the people. It's just that the people in the world are sharp-eyed. The illustrious military exploits he has made cannot be covered up by him in a few words."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

"This matter must not be exposed so easily. You are the highest military and political officer in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area. You cannot tolerate anyone's slander. Don't worry, the intelligence department of our garrison headquarters has been dispatched. Before tonight, the mastermind behind the scenes must be brought Let them be found out."

Yu Likui said.

"I came here as soon as I got off the plane. I didn't come here to ask questions. I have something for you to do."

After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he began to assign tasks.

6Chapter 17 On the cusp, be careful

"The first thing you need to do is mobilize a brigade of troops to strictly check the people entering the concessions and Kuomintang-controlled areas of various countries, and strengthen patrols at the docks. If a foreign businessman enters Shanghai, you must investigate his identity and his business. "

"The second thing is to deploy elite troops and form a patrol team to patrol the streets 24 hours a day. During the patrol, drive the armored vehicles and make the noise as loud as possible."

"The third thing is that your New Twelfth Army is on the cusp this time. To shoulder this important task, the entire army needs to be united. Don't be fooled by outside rumors."

"The fourth thing is to strengthen the inspection of personnel entering and exiting each checkpoint. Now is a critical period, and all countries are watching us. If we show any flaws, they will catch them."

Liang Xiao said four things in one breath, asking Yu Likui and the others to do their best.

"President, don't worry, our New Twelfth Army has the ability to regain the concession within two hours, and we will be able to keep Shanghai."

Yu Likui promised.

"It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but this time things are different from the past. In the past, we targeted the Japanese invaders. This time, it seems that we have regained a French Concession, but in fact it has pushed us to the opposite side of the Western countries. "

Liang Xiao said.

"President's worries are clear to me. Don't worry, we must do our part to share your worries and problems."

Chief of Staff Jin Pengdao.

Liang Xiao nodded slowly, and said: "If this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, your New Twelfth Army will be the greatest contributor. On the other hand, if the matter intensifies, I don't need to say more about the outcome of your New Twelfth Army Bar."

hear him.

Yu Likui and Jin Peng glanced at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"The task has been conveyed to you. How to do it is your business. I only look at the result."

Liang Xiao dropped these words and left from the headquarters of the New Twelfth Army.

Go back to the villa.

He called the chief and deputy chief of the Shanghai Military Information Station.

The series of reactions caused by the recovery of the French Concession this time has to be resolved by the military intelligence station. After all, in terms of intelligence work, the capabilities of the Shanghai military intelligence station are still beyond doubt.

Qiu Qingyang, the station chief of the military intelligence station, and Zhu Ming, the deputy station chief, braved the heavy rain and drove to the gate of the villa, and hurried into the villa building.

Liang Xiao met them in the study on the second floor.

"Boss, we have dispatched competent people to mobilize all intelligence channels to investigate the movements of the concessions of other countries. No matter what they say or do, they cannot escape our eyes.

Yang met and said hurriedly.

Liang Xiao nodded slightly, and said: "You guys are here, one is to let you pay close attention to the movements of the concessions of other countries, and the other is to give you a temporary task."

"Please give orders."
