Respectfully

"Is Mr. Pan really unwilling to say something?"

Kenji Doihara thought he could get something useful from Pan Guangxing, but unfortunately, he was disappointed.

Threats, lures, all kinds of means were exhausted except for torture. From the beginning to the end, Pan Guangxing did not utter a single word.He just looked over Doihara's shoulder and looked at his brother-in-law with cold eyes, so that he almost ran away from the door.

"Doihara-kun, there is news."

A Japanese man also dressed in Chinese clothes walked in and whispered a few words in Kenji Doihara's ear.

Doihara frowned immediately, with a flash of surprise and anger in his expression, he walked out of the room with Yamamoto, closed the door, and immediately asked: "Yamamoto-kun, is this true?"

"Yes." Yamamoto nodded and said, "What should we do? We don't know about our actions in the country, only Governor Oshima and His Excellency Sakanishi...Your Excellency Yamaza..."

Doihara raised his hand to signal for Yamamoto not to say any more, "I'll go see Your Excellency Sakanishi immediately, here, you take someone to watch it yourself."

"Yes!"

"Put the two of them together and record every word they say."

Yamamoto asked inexplicably: "Doihara-kun, why do you have to take so much trouble? Just execute the punishment, don't worry about him not talking."

"Punishment?" Doihara shook his head, "I still want to keep this person."

"Keep him?"

"Yes, keep him." Doihara walked to the door and looked at Pan Guangxing inside, "This man will be very useful to us. People in China don't know that he was arrested, do you understand what it means?"

"what?"

"He can continue to pass information to the Chinese people." Whether it is true information or false information.

Doihara's cold gaze was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, "But first, let him say something."

"I understand." Yamamoto said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what you said!"

"Very good." Doihara looked back, "I admire you very much, the empire needs people like Yamamoto-kun."

"Yes!"

In the cramped room, Pan Guangxing sat against the wall, constantly guessing what the Japanese were planning.He thought he would be tortured, and in that case, he would most likely not be able to hold on.If he didn't want to betray the President, he could only... If he died, the President and the young commander would definitely treat his wife and two sons kindly, and even if they couldn't make it to the top, they would guarantee that they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

In that case, what else did he have to worry about?Pan Guangxing lowered his head, the darkness in the room concealed his expression.

However, before he died, he could do one more thing for the president and the young marshal.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Don't talk to me!" Pan Guangxing gave his brother-in-law a vicious look, "It's all you! If it wasn't for you, I would be here now?!"

"Brother-in-law, I was drunk at the time, and I didn't know what I said."

"Didn't say anything? Didn't say anything, how could I be caught here?! I figured it out, you are a white-eyed wolf! If I had known, I should have strangled you!"

Pan Guangxing yelled loudly on purpose, then rushed forward and grabbed the other party's collar, "Don't play sloppy with me and say, did that person ask you to betray me?!"

"that person?"

Pan Guangxing's brother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and Yamamoto and others outside the room immediately stuck to the door.

"Does he think I don't give enough ocean?"

"Brother-in-law, what did you say?"

"What did I say? Don't play tricks!" Pan Guangxing punched him hard, "He didn't take advantage of me! He thought I wouldn't dare to bite him out..."

Having said this, he suddenly closed his mouth, as if he suddenly realized that there might be someone outside, and he didn't say a word anymore.

Yamamoto outside the door was suspicious, who was the person he was talking about?

Pan Guangxing wasn't sure if the Japanese outside the door would be fooled, but intelligence workers are suspicious by nature, as long as they can make them think over their own heads, then his performance will be worth it!With his back to the door, he showed a weird smile on his face that was enough to make one's heart skip a beat, and whispered in Cantonese: "Neither of us will get out of here alive."

Pan Guangxing and his Yue family were originally from Guangdong, and they moved to the north a few years ago. Yamamoto and the others could understand northern dialect, but not Cantonese. What's more, Pan Guangxing deliberately lowered his voice when he said this. Can't hear either.

"Sure enough, it's him!"

After raising his voice and saying these words, Pan Guangxing suddenly put away the smile on his face, turned around and sat against the wall, and said nothing again.

Yamamoto and others outside the door are scratching their heads again, who is it?Who is it? !If they hadn't remembered Doihara's order, they might have rushed in immediately, using whips and branding irons to force out the answers they wanted.

Pan Guangxing at the door lowered his head and smiled coldly, rubbing the neckline of his gown, it should be enough.His brother-in-law was an out-and-out soft bone. When he died, the Japanese could only pry his mouth and ask who was the person who was bribed by Pan Guangxing among them.It doesn't need much, just two whips, in order to save his life, he will definitely bite randomly.

No matter who he bites out, it's enough for these people to have a headache.

Thinking of this, Pan Guangxing couldn't help laughing.It's worth it, even if it's death, it's worth it.

Smiling and laughing, two lines of salty tears slid across his face.He didn't want to die, but now he had to die.He can't betray the president, and he doesn't want to be a traitor so that his wife and children can't hold their heads up.With trembling hands, he tore open the neckline of the shirt, and a small amount of black powder was stained in the interlayer of the fabric.

The person sitting opposite saw Pan Guangxing put the piece of collar in his mouth, and suddenly showed a panic expression. Pan Guangxing stared at him fiercely, as if telling him that he was waiting for him, waiting for him in the palace of the king of hell. watching him...

For a long time, there was no sound from the cell. When Yamamoto delivered food and water to the prisoners, he found that Pan Guangxing's face had turned black and had been dead for a long time.

"idiot!"

Angrily, Yamamoto kicked Pan Guangxing's body fiercely. They searched his whole body, not even his mouth. Where did he hide the poison? !

"Yamamoto-kun, what should we do?"

"People are already dead, and it is impossible to come back to life." Yamamoto said coldly: "He mentioned someone before his death, which is probably our internal staff. I think, if we can ask someone from this person Your name, Doihara-sama should forgive us for being careless this time."

"Yes!"

Pan Guangxing's brother-in-law huddled aside, seeing Yamamoto and the others turned their gazes to him with a ferocious look, his face turned pale with fright, and seeing Pan Guangxing's blue-black face and the black blood around his mouth, he yelled uncontrollably, The room suddenly filled with a smell of urine...

Tianjin

Before dawn, there were waves of neat footsteps and whistles in the city of Tianjin.A curious person pushed open the window and looked towards the street, but his neck shrunk back in fright at just one glance.

"God, there are soldiers on the street, carrying guns, machine guns, and artillery!"

"Really?"

The middle-aged man in the family wanted to open the window again with a curious look on his face, but he was slapped back, "Be honest, don't die, do you want to be shot?!"

Qiushan Road, Qiangzi River, and Nanmenwai Street all showed these soldiers wearing the uniforms of the six northern provinces. The officers with command sabers were either riding on horses or sitting in strange-looking four-wheeled vehicles, following the team. go forward together.The platoon-level officers held their whistles in their mouths and blew whistles of different lengths. The squad leader led the team quickly towards the predetermined target according to the whistles.

Marshal Lou did not show up, nor did Chen Guangming, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Ji Army guarding Tianjin, and the Ji Army stayed silent in the barracks. March quickly."

Soon, people in Tianjin discovered that these soldiers were all heading in the direction of the Japanese Concession. The team was divided into several groups, and before noon, the Japanese Concession was completely surrounded.The guns were all aimed at the concession, but the people stopped outside the concession, without stepping in.

The French Concession, which is connected to the Japanese Concession, also became tense. When it was discovered that these Chinese soldiers only surrounded the Japanese Concession and had nothing to do with them, they unexpectedly became lively.

Zhao Guangyou, head of the No. 20 Eighth Regiment of the Independent Brigade, rode his horse over, shook his whip, and shouted loudly: "A group of vicious gangsters have fled to Tianjin. According to reliable sources, this group is hiding in the Japanese Concession. They were responsible for the shooting in Qiushan Road! In order to ensure the safety of the people in Tianjin, as well as the safety of all friendly people in Tianjin, from now on, the Japanese Concession is under martial law! Water, food, and electricity are cut off, and only entry and no exit are allowed! Until the Until a few brutal gangsters are arrested and brought to justice!"

These words were high-sounding, but the staff of the Japanese Consulate who came to negotiate were half-deadly angry, to ensure the safety of the people in Tianjin and the safety of allies, so the Japanese Concession is under martial law? !What about those who live in the Japanese Concession? !

"I want to protest!" The Japanese consul said loudly: "This is a violation of international treaties!"

Zhao Guangyou plucked his ears, folded his arms and leaned on the horse's neck, looking like a soldier, "International treaty? Which one did I violate? Did I bring troops into the concession or did I violate your personal safety? "

"you……"

"How about me?" Zhao Guang stood up straight and ignored him, "Listen to me, from now on, only in and not out! Send your consul back!"

"Yes!"

The Japanese consul still wanted to yell, but it was a pity that Wu Youyou pointed the muzzle of his gun, and his arrogance was instantly extinguished.

There were no more than 1000 Japanese garrisons and armed expatriates in the concession, and the number of Chinese soldiers surrounding the concession was two or three times that of them. If there was a conflict, they would definitely have nothing to eat.

Of course, His Majesty's warriors are not afraid of death, but death must be worth something, right?

The Japanese soldiers stationed in the concession were all heroic, but their immediate boss, Captain Hashimoto, had a grandfather who was born in Osaka. Therefore, after carefully weighing and calculating the "profits and losses", Hashimoto issued an order not to have any conflicts with the Chinese army. Conflicting commands.

Captain Hashimoto discovered that these Chinese soldiers who surrounded the Japanese Concession were very different from the Chinese army guarding Tianjin. They were well-armed and full of toughness. Moreover, the eyes they looked at were quite terrifying, as if smelling blood Like a wild wolf that smells bad but can't move forward to bite its prey, he couldn't help but feel the chills on the back of his neck.

Hashimoto's sense is still very keen, these soldiers really want to kill them rather than trap them.

This is not surprising.

The soldiers in two squads of the Independent Brigade were all from Fengcheng. When they told others about the crimes these Japanese had done in Fengcheng, the soldiers all gritted their teeth.

What's more, the Japanese in these concessions are not good people!They occupied the land of Huaxia, slaughtered and humiliated the people of Huaxia, and acted recklessly in the territory of Huaxia people!

If someone broke into his home, raped his wife and daughter, robbed property, and slaughtered his relatives, as a man, his only choice was to take up arms and kill these bastards!

It's a pity that the military orders were like a mountain, and the young commander only ordered to surround, but not to shoot. The soldiers can only watch the luck of the Japanese in the concession.

That's why Captain Hashimoto felt a chill in his neck, and it's no wonder he wasn't afraid of two or three thousand people who wanted to kill him.

The Fifth Division of the Hebei Army guarding Tianjin, under the order of Master Chen, stayed put, and the soldiers of the Independent Brigade surrounded the Japanese Concession.

Food and water were not allowed to be delivered, telegraph wires were dug up, and electric wires were also cut off. Soldiers were sent to strictly check every intersection.

Being sleepy can also trap you to death!

Said they violated the treaty?No, they didn't step into the concession, they only set up checkpoints on a few roads leading to the Japanese concession. What kind of treaty did they violate by setting up checkpoints on their own territory?

"The gangsters are fierce, and this is a last resort."

Ten gold bars, fifteen boxes of canned food, and two hundred sticks of sulfonamide were sent out, and the door of the French Concession was also closed in front of the Japanese.

Food and water could have been obtained through the connected French Concession, but now they can't even get a grain of rice.

At the same time, President Lou Da sent a note to the ministers of the other eight countries in the capital, stating that this action was only aimed at the Japanese, and that China was still very "friendly" to the "friends".The cause of the incident was mainly due to the assassination incident on Qiushan Road.

The ministers of various countries were stunned.

Li Jinyan, who was assassinated, was from the Lou family. After the incident, several Japanese-controlled newspapers attempted to control public opinion, causing mutual suspicion within the Chinese government.The method seems to be clever, but if you investigate carefully, you can still find clues.

Obviously, the Chinese caught the tail of the Japanese, and their move was revenge.Since it is revenge against the Japanese, it has nothing to do with others.

Therefore, France, which has been dissatisfied with Japan due to the assassination incident, Great Britain, which has a strong interest in sulfa drugs, Germany, which does not take Japan seriously, and Russia, which fought the Japanese a few years ago, all for money America, where everything can be sold, Italy, which eats noodles with soy sauce... In short, under the bombardment of money and other sugar-coated shells, the fortresses of these foreigners were conquered one by one. The Japanese in the Tianjin Concession did not know it. The situation was completely isolated.Even their allies, the British, only pretended to make a few innocuous remarks, and then stopped talking.

Japanese Minister Yamazao protested against the Chinese government several times but failed, and was completely angry.

"If the Chinese government does not withdraw its troops and lift the siege of the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, then the Empire of Japan will have to take extraordinary measures!"

"Your Excellency, are you declaring war?" Zhan Changqing, who has been promoted to the foreign minister of the coalition government, slowly put away the smile on his face, "Is this your country's decision, or is your Excellency just uttering nonsense?"

"of course……"

"I advise you to think it over before you talk about it." The lid of the teacup rubbed against the rim of the cup, making a crisp sound, "The declaration of war between the two countries is not just a verbal statement. You can bear the consequences?"

Shan Zuo's back shuddered. In the past few times, the coalition government was responsible for receiving him from the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. Today he was dealing with Zhan Changqing for the first time.This man who always had a smile on his face made him feel threatened.

In the end, Enjiro Yamaza returned without success again. When he returned to his residence, he unexpectedly saw the visiting military officer Sakanishi and Kenji Doihara standing beside him.
