Chapter 688
Fujita Yoshimasa died, this is the news that Wang Yan heard from Iwai Eiichi half a month later.

This time, the losses suffered in the third war zone were too great. The military chiefs on the front line tried their best to throw the blame, and Fujita Yoshimasa's head was just able to withstand it.It is said that a solemn seppuku ceremony was held in Nanjing. Two knives went down horizontally and vertically, and the intermediary who acted as a kendo master cut the neck with a very precise knife, leaving the flesh and blood connected.Fujita Yoshimasa became a role model who dared to take responsibility and was full of samurai spirit, and spread it among the Japanese army.

What the little soldier saw was the major general of the army, a general who was so tall that he had a samurai spirit and performed seppuku.At a certain level, some people with brains see that Yoshimasa Fujita is blamed for death.Brainwash and encourage the people at the lower level, and warn those at the middle and upper levels.

Yoshimasa Fujita probably didn't want to do seppuku, but he couldn't do it...

The newly transferred head of the special advanced course is an army officer from Nanjing, named Kitagawa Kosuke.He used to be the head of the Nanjing Special High School, with the rank of Lieutenant Assistant. This time he was promoted to a new level and came to Shanghai to take up a post. He was promoted in a serious manner.

Wang Yan has met this Kosuke Kitagawa, he is a person with ideas and ambitions, which is normal, after all, at this level, it is impossible to have no ideas and ambitions, they are all complete militarists.

Minglou's situation is not bad under this Kitagawa Kosuke.The first thing Kitagawa Kosuke did when he was in charge was to check the previous death plan, trying to figure out the cause and effect of the incident.Because of Wang Yan's intervention, unnecessary troubles and hidden dangers were eliminated, and of course Minglou passed the test.Moreover, Ming Lou also took refuge in Iwai Eiichi, and made friends with many people, so there is still some room for maneuver.

Ming Jing's situation is not bad, mainly because many of the Ming family's business is now tied to Wang Yan's business, so her actions are much safer.In addition, because of the previous incident with Mingtai, Minglou has revealed his identity to Mingjing, and will also ask about Mingjing's involvement.Compared with Ding Spiegel, Minglou is obviously more careful, cautious, and flexible. Having his help is also the main reason for Ding Spiegel's safe operation.

Otherwise, even with Wang Yan's signboard, it would be useless to reveal any telltale signs, so he should be caught.

Of course Yu Manli moved to the Wang Mansion, but that was just moving in, and it was impossible to register or something.But just like this, Yu Manli's status has been greatly improved, because she is the only woman who has lived in Wang Yan's house for so many years.Some tabloids published the news, which even caused a certain degree of influence in Shanghai.

The main reason why those people dared to talk about Wang Yan's private life was that Wang Yan was different from other hooligans and tycoons. He didn't put on airs and was very entertaining, so he didn't care about such things at all.

Of course, this is because people really don't have so much leisure time these days, they just chat occasionally and have fun.And the information is not very explosive, and there are still many people who don't pay attention to Boss Wang's life.

This is different from the situation decades later. The same thing, under the fermentation of the Internet, has become overwhelming.Even if there are still many people who don't know it, there are still many people who know it.The magnitude and influence are different.If it were really in the real Internet age, Wang Yan would never allow himself to be exposed too much to the public eye.This is a very simple truth, Jin Yi Ye Xing.Less attention, less hassle.

In ancient times, businessmen controlled wealth, but they were not allowed to show off in front of others. They could only secretly order people to look themselves in the mirror in the house after doing it.Although he is not that simple, what he has mastered can only be seen by himself and slowly released.How slow is he to get things under the spotlight?Still have to keep a low profile.

But even though Yu Manli moved into Wang's mansion, it still didn't delay Wang Yan's going out to have fun, basically the same as before.Not to mention whether Yu Manli has thoughts, her body doesn't allow it either.What's more, she knows herself well. With her like this, it's already a high incense to be able to get to where she is today...

The time has come to April, which is destined to be an unusual year.

According to the historical process, this time is already in the middle of the Anti-Japanese War.The protracted war to this day has already been understood.Japan cannot solve the two parties in a short period of time and disintegrate the anti-Japanese spirit of the Chinese people.And the two parties, there is no way to beat Japan out of China in the short term.

And on the other hand, all the fertile lands in eastern China have been occupied, and Japan's idea of ​​moving westward and attacking hilly and mountainous areas is actually not that strong.But up to now, the war is not something they can stop if they want to.They want to consolidate the results of the battle at this time, and the two parties do not agree. If you don’t come out and beat me, I will go over and beat you. You must fight China.

In fact, at this point, the Anti-Japanese War cannot be stopped at will, even if the top leaders of the two parties collectively deny it.Because since the beginning of the war, China has paid too much, and there is no possibility of maneuvering.There are always people with angry eyes, bruised veins, and screaming at the top of their lungs.There are always people who throw their heads and sprinkle blood, every inch of mountains and rivers is full of blood.

However, the ruler's thinking is always different.Ever since Qin Shihuang ruled the world and proclaimed himself emperor, China in name has had only one master ever since.The reason why it is said in name is because there are complex relationships between the central government, local governments, elites, gentry, landlords, and parties. For some people, the only thing the emperor controls is the palace surrounded by high walls.

But it has nothing to do with those things here, it's just an extension.Although there are many factions within the Kuomintang, from top to bottom, many people are very disgusted with the Red Party.If one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, how can one country accommodate two masters?Within the Kuomintang, the argument of "resisting the outside world must first settle the inside" has never disappeared, and the bald head has always carried out this way, from the previous warlord melee, to the previous fight against the Red Party, and then to the previous incident, which occurred on the occasion of foreign invasion , the first anti-Communist campaign with Yan Xishan at the vanguard.

Now that the Red Party has penicillin in hand, money is being made faster than money printing machines, and various supplies are gradually becoming abundant.Even if the United States has successfully developed penicillin and started selling it, the world is at war today, and it has no effect on the Red Party.Relying on such an antibiotic, the Red Party made a fortune.

This kind of situation has already aroused the eyes of the bald head, so the second anti-communism has already been brewing.Just last year, the Kuomintang wanted to drive the troops led by the Red Party to the north of the Yellow River, and teamed up with the Japanese to attack and wipe out the main force of the Red Party.The struggle has been going on, but it's still not ideal.

Regarding this matter, Wang Yan had already provided information.Moreover, the intelligence system of the Red Party is already very strong, and a lot of news has also been obtained through other channels.But this is a war, and intelligence is only an aid after all, not to mention the disparity between the two sides, which is already at a disadvantage.

Things that have been disturbed for a long time, the storm that has been brewing for a long time, finally broke out shortly after entering the [-]st year.

On January 30, all major newspapers reported that Gu Zhutong, the commander of the Third War Zone, and Shangguan Yunxiang, the commander-in-chief of the No. [-] Second Army, led seven divisions with more than [-] people. Maolin, Jing County, Xuancheng City, a mountainous area, encircled and attacked more than [-] members of the New Fourth Army led by Ye Weixun.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, which no one expected.At a time when foreign enemies are present, the country is in ruins, and the nation is in peril, the Kuomintang dares to launch such a large-scale civil war.Immediately, people from all walks of life began to spray wildly at the Kuomintang, and the Red Party protested solemnly in various ways, and rushed to solve the problem.

Things are developing very quickly. 8 people fight 1 people. It is still a well-prepared siege war, and it is a gun battle with hot weapons. It is basically impossible to reverse the situation.Finally, after seven days and nights of bloody battles, they were outnumbered, ammunition and food ran out, and they were almost wiped out.Ye Weixun, the commander of the New Fourth Army, was detained for negotiating, and Xiang Ying, deputy commander, Zhou Zikun, chief of staff, and Yuan Guoping, director of the political department, were all killed by traitors.

This is the 'Southern Anhui Incident', the second anti-communist climax of the Kuomintang.

This matter lasted until March, after all parties dealt with each other and all kinds of open and dark struggles, it was considered to be over.However, Ye Weixun was not released and was still detained.

He made a modern poem, selected from Chinese textbooks decades later, called "Prisoner Song".

The door for people to come in and out is locked, the hole for dogs to crawl through is open, and a voice shouts: Climb out, and you are set free!I yearn for freedom, but I also know very well—how can a human body crawl out of a dog's hole!I can only look forward to that day—the fire in the ground will burn this living coffin with me, and I should live forever in the fire and blood.

How can a human body crawl out of a dog's hole?
The spirit is eternal.

The world situation is chaotic, and once the war machine is started, it cannot be easily stopped.

Germany beat and kicked the aristocratic lords in Europe and laid down a lot of land.And developed the Barbarossa plan, launched an attack on the Soviet Union in June.

Japan has long been greedy for Southeast Asia because of resource issues.Moreover, the geographical location of Southeast Asia is very important. Occupying Southeast Asia can not only cut off the two important road traffic lines that the United States, Britain and other countries aid China, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, but also enter the Indian Ocean westward to threaten India, and join forces with the German army in the Middle East. Going south, you can capture Australia and dominate the Western Pacific.

In this way, they can join forces with Germany to carve up the world and create a huge empire.

With such a beautiful imagination, the fanatical and radical militaristic government, who has just taken office but has been planning for a long time, the general of the army, the prime minister of the cabinet, and the number one war criminal in Japan in the future, Hideki Tojo, leads the militaristic cabinet and urges Japan, a high-speed, unstoppable war machine, attacked the US naval and air force base Pearl Harbor.

This action completely broke the plan of the United States to make war fortune and seek various interests by staying out of the way, so that it had to participate in the war, and the Pacific War broke out.

These major international events had nothing to do with Wang Yan, but they coincided with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor when the British gunboats moored in the Huangpu River "sinked" and the American gunboats surrendered in the early morning.The Japanese navy came ashore from the Bund and gradually moved inward.In the morning, all the bridges on the Suzhou River were blocked, and only the Japanese army was allowed to pass through these bridges from Hongkou to enter the International Settlement. The Japanese Navy and Army took over the central and western areas of the International Settlement respectively.At the same time, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Foreign Affairs of the International Settlement and other foreign nationals who stayed here were arrested, and they were detained in concentration camps.

Such a major event, of course, cannot do without Wang Yan.

At six o'clock in the morning, Wang Yan was wearing a fur coat, wearing big leather boots, and buttoning his hat. He was sitting at the crossroads of Foch, where he set up a table full of various breakfasts, eating his breakfast.

Liu Yitong, who was jogging over, looking at the crowd of people who were blocked by the wooden fence outside the French Concession, his ears filled with all kinds of noise, couldn't imagine that Wang Yan was still in the mood to eat breakfast at such a time. He scratched his head irritably, and sat on the stool: "I said, are we really blocked like this?"

"What's the use of talking about it? It's the French talking!"

Wang Yan took a sip of porridge, stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth, got another piece of pickled vegetables, and with a tea egg in his hand, looked at the scene not far away across the street, shook his head and smiled, "You Don't know yet?"

"what do you know?"

"Just yesterday, Japan dispatched more than 300 planes and more than 50 warships to attack the U.S. naval base in Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. military was caught off guard and the main force of the Pacific Fleet was almost completely destroyed. They not only entered occupied our public concession here, and even sent troops to attack Hong Kong."

"What?" Liu Yitong stood up in shock, quickly helped the stool up, sat down again, and asked with wide-eyed eyes, "What are the Japanese going to do?"

Wang Yan stuffed the grilled egg into his mouth and muttered, "What else can I do? Of course it is for Southeast Asia, Britain and France and other countries' colonies over there. Japan has been coveting for a long time. They defeated the United States, dominated the Pacific Ocean, blocked After leaving Southeast Asia, don’t you want to do something?”

"The United States is so strong, how dare the Japanese make trouble with them?"

Wang Yan ignored him, isn't this nonsense, people are attacking Pearl Harbor, how dare you?

Liu Yitong smiled embarrassingly, knowing that he was asking nonsense, and asked instead: "Then can our French Concession survive? How long can it last?"

"Anyway, there is no problem at the moment. It mainly depends on how Japan talks with Germany. I estimate that it will last for two or three years. Who knows? Anyway, Eiichi Iwai told me that there is no intention of moving the French Concession at present. You don't have to worry, I'm now taking refuge with the Japanese, and it doesn't matter who the French Concession belongs to, it doesn't matter to us brothers. How chic you are, or how chic you are."

"Then what about these people? We can't really shoot, can we? Just the little broken fence can't stop them. If they get out of control and they rush in, we will all be trampled to pieces."

"It's about food. Don't affect my appetite if you don't eat it." Wang Yan frowned unhappily, and then glanced at the crowded, noisy and helpless crowd outside the fence. As for the negotiation, it is estimated that there will be a result in some time. It must not always be blocked like this, and the Japanese must not really kill them, there is no problem.

But your worry is also justified. In this way, you can call Gu Yongcheng. If you can't start work today, ask him to organize a group of people and hurry over to deliver hot water and porridge to these people.Let these people feel at ease, and also take care of the elderly and children. "

"If you want to say it, it has to be your boss Wang."

While speaking, Liu Yitong grabbed a few buns, turned around and ran to make a phone call...

Wang Yan asked someone to tell those people on the opposite side, while he continued to eat breakfast.

He was called by the phone at five o'clock, and then he hurriedly called other people and came to the border area of ​​Fengdu in an emergency.He is now the highest-ranking Chinese in the patrols in the French Concession. Even though the other detectives and captains are other arrest houses with foreign devils as their bosses, he actually controls the leadership of the patrols in China.The main reason is that when he speaks, no one dares not to listen.So the current work is presided over by him.

In addition to the Chinese patrolling arrests, there were also other Western arresters present, but these foreign devils were used to laziness, and they were all Chinese at the front. They were afraid of being punched and trampled to death.

Of course, it was impossible for the Japanese not to kill people. When they landed and advanced, they fired.As a result, many people were frightened, some hid in the house tremblingly, and some packed up their belongings and ran away in a hurry.They found that there was no movement in the French Concession, so they ran into the French Concession desperately.

Before the organization intercepted, many people ran into the French Concession.Now these are running slowly.At first they were very anxious, and some even shouted, but they were caught by the police and beaten to death, and the Japanese army also arrived, and stood behind them with guns in their hands, preventing them from running around.This is just a little bit, and the situation is under control.

Gu Yongcheng's actions were fast. After waiting for less than half an hour, someone drove over, organized people to distribute hot water to the people opposite, and cooked porridge on the spot, which greatly eased the panic of these people.

Of course, the exhausting patrol did not treat him lightly. Wang Yan spent a lot of money and asked a nearby breakfast shop to deliver meals.These people are part of his foundation in the French Concession of Mr. Wang. Of course, the food is good, but we still have to treat them differently. Does he spend money to win people's hearts? He often does this kind of small favor.

He ate breakfast and wandered around.Although he said that he was not afraid of problems, but if something happened, it was enough for him, so he didn't have to be careful.

After eating and drinking enough, he personally raised the trumpet to appease the frightened crowd wherever he went.Not to mention that he is very trustworthy among the working people, he also provides hot water and white porridge for free, and you have to listen to him when you eat his food.

Just comforting him all the way, time passed slowly, and after nine o'clock, a foreign devil found him and asked him to remove the fence without restricting the entry of others.

Obviously, this has already been negotiated with the Japanese.

As a result, without the company of the public concession, the French Concession was completely reduced to an isolated island.Of the many people who poured in, no one knew how many were real people and how many were lonely warriors.

But it can be expected that the struggle situation in the French Concession will become more severe in the future...
