Chapter 336 Burning!
It seems that everything is just the beginning. As if it had been premeditated, the people in Shanghai suddenly found that life is no longer step by step, and the days are no longer boring. News and topics appear again, so that they have enough time to sit in teahouses, hotels and homes in their busy and tired work. It has become a place to judge.
Explosive news came out one after another, spreading all over the streets and alleys, to everyone's ears, to the ears of those rich businessmen and capitalists.
The Japanese will make a big move and launch a lightning attack on Shanghai City!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, which shocked everyone. The Japanese wanted to attack the beach without any warning in advance, which naturally made them unprepared and unprepared.
And the withdrawal of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army was more like a time bomb, which suddenly broke out, causing a sensation in the whole city of Shanghai.
Originally, the Japanese wanted to attack Shanghai, and many people were in the mood of spreading rumors, but Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang's iron-blooded 18th Army wanted to withdraw, but their mood to watch the play suddenly dissipated.
At this time, who would think that this is just a matter of catching wind and shadows, and it will definitely be white-eyed and despised by a group of people.
As for the reason why the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army left, Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang were also outspoken during the reporter's interview. They had no money, but they had military pay, but they were not even able to fill their stomachs. How can they protect their families and defend their country? They can't take the bodies and lives to block the enemy's bullets. According to the two people, retreat is also forced. If there is military money and weapons, the soldier doesn't want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely for the safety of the country and the people. It's just that the current situation of the army, not to mention killing the enemy bravely, even most of the army's equipment is still imitation. It lacks good to protect himself. It is.
The two sang and sang in front of the reporter. It was touching to cry. The double reed also reached the extreme, which won the sympathy of most people and accused the incompetence and weakness of the government of the Republic of China.
In particular, Du Haisheng took advantage of his connections. Liu Tianyu, Wang Yaqiao, Song Ziwen, Zhao Tianming, Chen Guangfu... all followed suit. The Japanese soldiers went to the beach, and the rumors that the iron-blooded 18th Army was about to withdraw permeated the streets and alleys of the whole city of Shanghai, and the sky was once again filled with the cloud that the war was about to come. Will it turn around like last time?
This is the biggest expectation in everyone's heart... At this time, they remembered the hero and his name - Du Haisheng!
When they began to think of it, the character, who was regarded as a national hero in their mind, also appeared at the press conference.
Briefly expounded his point of view, expressing deep regret and sympathy for the current situation of the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Army, and expressing deep understanding of the withdrawal decision made by Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang.
As soon as this word came out, everyone was in an uproar... Obviously, even Du Haisheng was not optimistic about the war.
Especially the last sentence, it makes all those who have hope in their hearts be disilated. For the first time, I can turn the situation around with my own ability, and this time, there is nothing I can do.
The Japanese don't need a reason to attack the beach. When you don't need a reason or excuse, it's futile no matter what you say. War is inevitable. The only thing you can do is to pray that the war will end as soon as possible and pray that the people can avoid the greatest disaster. Those capitalists and rich businessmen can get God's favor and keep their family business.
Of course, Du Haisheng did not forget to wave the flag and shout for the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. The whole momentum of the army is quite full, but it lacks ammunition and military rates. If these can be guaranteed, he firmly believes that the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is still a rigorous style and invincible iron-blooded lion, and it will definitely make those who come. The Japanese army fled back to China and called on the vast number of rich business giants in Shanghai to be generous.
Du Haisheng's last words shattered everyone's hopes and ignited everyone's hopes. At this time, only the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army can stand up.
While everyone was still thinking about what to do, another piece of news exploded. The Japanese army has begun to gather at the dock and will occupy Shanghai City in less than a week.
"What's going on? What's going on? Chinese people, Xue Yue, Sun Chuanfang, Du Haisheng, what tricks are they doing!"
At the headquarters of the Gendarmerie, a tall, short and bloated man straightened his waist and almost stared out. He couldn't help patting the thick stack of newspapers placed on the table and questioning.
As the consul of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Maori Goro was furious at this time, no longer caring about the two women standing in front of him, staring at them with a pale face, and it was difficult to calm his anger.
The rumors that came out early this morning gave his consul a headache. Are the Japanese going to attack Shanghai?
In this matter, even he, the consul, did not get any information beforehand. He sent a telegram to the country and asked the whole story. Even the military was confused and said that the truth was not known.
The last incident has made Japan very passive in the whole world. Even several allies have unanimously turned their guns and criticized what their countries have done, and today's incident is even more annoying.
"Your gendarmerie, could it be that you didn't even notice any news in advance? Minako, Baihuizi, the military asked me to give them an explanation, and the government also asked me to give them an explanation. Even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Consulate General asked me to give them an explanation. You said, I should give them an explanation, even now I'm still It's so famous that I'd like to see what you two have to say!"
"This..."
The two women have never seen Maori Goro so angry. Although the other party is not from the five major families in Japan, they are higher than themselves and scolded the two. They can only listen obediently. For his reprimand, the two women are red-faced, straight and upright, but they dare not say a word, Maori Goro If you want to ask them for an explanation, the two women also looked at each other and smiled bitterly. How could we ever know?
What's the explanation? It's not only Maori Goro, but even the two of them are confused. They don't know what's going on.
The first time the two women received the news, they were the same as Goro Maori's reaction. They were both shocked. In addition to being shocked, they also quickly sent a telegram to the Supreme Commander of the Republic of China Theater and the Japanese military, asking what was going on, and the replies they received were all unknown. Find out the cause quickly, which makes the two women feel the seriousness of the problem.
Comprehensive information from all aspects, it is obvious that this news is fake news and deliberately spread by intentional people. As for the source of the way, the two women are not clear.
Although the two women ordered their hands to find out what was going on in the shortest time, such a thing was circulating in the streets and alleys. As for who it was spread from, there was no news.
The two women have been worried about this matter. Now the consul Maori Goro has come to inquire in person, which puts a lot of pressure on the two women.
"Your Excellency Consul, Minako and I suspect that this is an artificial conspiracy and a plan of the Chinese people. We have ordered our hands to strictly investigate this matter. In addition, we have also convened reporters and have stated that this matter has nothing to do with the Japanese Empire, and the Japanese military has no intention of occupying Shanghai. I hope the general public will not panic!"
"Uh...is it?"
Maori Goro relaxed for a moment and couldn't help rubbing his temples, "Will these damn Chinese people believe it?"
When Minako and Bai Huizi heard this, they both shook their heads in frustration. "After the last incident, the Republic of China, especially the people in Shanghai, have no good impression on the Japanese and have no trust at all. Although we have tried our best to explain it, it seems that the effect is not great, and the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people has begun to rise again. Many Japanese compatriots who are doing business have come to apply for asylum!"
As Minako said, she gritted her teeth secretly and swore in her heart that if he knew who was the messenger behind the scenes, he would definitely break the other party into ten thousand pieces to relieve his anger.
People say that as long as it spreads, there is a wind and shadow, and even those involved, who don't know where the wind is and where the shadow is, so they impose this unwarranted crime on their own head. How can they not make him angry? However, no matter how angry they are now, it is useless. They have to make a reaction quickly. Yes, turn big things into small things...
