King of Secret Service

Page 196

Tonight's banquet is not only attended by a famous lady like Tang Ying, there are also many famous ladies and ladies, such as Lu Xiaoman from Southern Tang and Beilu, movie queen Hu Die, ladies and wives from various chaebols, etc...

As soon as Tang Ying entered the arena, she was dragged past by her good sister Lu Xiaoman.

Liang Xiao was dressed in a camouflage uniform and leather boots, which was incompatible with this banquet of suits and leather shoes.

"General Liang."

Seeing Tang Ying leave Liang Xiao's side, Song Ziwen said, "Let's talk over there."

"it is good."

Liang Xiao nodded slightly.

The two came to a hidden corner of the hall one after the other. There were no guests here, and their words would not be heard by others.

Song Ziwen said first, "The clothes on Liang Xiao's body don't seem to be the official uniforms of the national government."

"Dean Song should understand that Liang is not a pure soldier."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

"Let's be honest, what do you want to do when you come to Song's mansion?"

Song Ziwen didn't like any military officers engaged in spy work, mainly because he was frightened by Dai Li's intelligence agency over the years.

"Liang doesn't have much interest. He just came here with Tang Ying to give Minister Song a place. If Minister Song has any grudges, Liang can leave at any time."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

"Is General Liang simply flattering you?"

From Song Ziwen's point of view, Liang Xiao didn't come to join the party, but came to smash it. He was wearing a camouflage military uniform, and he went to the hall like this. Who would dare to speak freely? You must know that this banquet he held was not just for the sake of relationship. It's a mess, he planned this banquet purposefully, and it must not be messed up because of Liang Xiao.

"If Minister Song doesn't believe it, Liang can leave now, but I will take Tang Ying with me."

Liang Xiao glanced at Tang Ying who was there.

"As long as General Liang doesn't make trouble, you can drink as much as you like tonight."

Song Ziwen said.

Liang Xiao took a look at Song Ziwen, and said: "It's not wise for Minister Song to come to Shanghai at this time. The current Shanghai beach is mixed with fish and dragons, and it may be that Minister Song's life will be ruined sometime."

"You mean the Japanese will assassinate me"

Song Ziwen said.

"That's for sure, if I were Japan.

I will also try every means to take your life, maybe...at this banquet tonight, taking advantage of the crowd and chaos, I will secretly shoot you with a black gun."

Liang Xiao said.

"Don't bother General Liang, the outsiders are all elites selected by Song from the tax police chief. They will not give the Japanese a chance to blackmail."

Song Ziwen's words are vague, which mainly comes from his trust in the tax police chief.

"It seems that Minister Song doesn't believe Liang's words."

Liang Xiao smiled lightly.

"It's not that Song doesn't believe it, it's that Song believes in the abilities of the soldiers of the guards. No matter who he is, as long as he comes from a wrong path, he won't even think about stepping into the Song residence."

Song Ziwen said.

Liang Xiao sneered in his heart. When he came in just now, he glanced at Song Ziwen's guards. He looked more energetic than ordinary soldiers, but compared with Japanese ninjas, the gap was too big.

"Minister Song, Mr. Liang advises you to put your own safety first, and don't let the Japanese succeed."

"Song's safety is not a concern for General Liang, but General Liang should take it very seriously. I heard that General Liang was shot in the arm by a bullet from a Japanese spy. I didn't expect him to recover so quickly. He has recovered in just a few short days. However, You still have to be more careful, this time it was the arm, and next time it might be...the head."

Song Ziwen carried a gun with a stick when he spoke.

Liang Xiao sneered in his heart.

Song Ziwen, the God of Wealth, really doesn't have enough... spaciousness.

His kindness was taken by the other party as the liver and lungs of a donkey.

However, it's nothing, anyway...he's done talking here, if Song Ziwen is in a hurry to give the Japanese their heads, what can he do.

"Liang made a bold guess. Minister Song came to Shanghai from Nanjing. He was eager to invite celebrities in the cultural circles and wealthy businessmen to the banquet. He wanted to mobilize them to leave Shanghai."

A wise light flashed in Liang Xiao's eyes.

"That's right. The Executive Yuan has issued a document. Shanghai's central bank and government assets will be transferred first. The relocation plan for private factories and schools is still under drafting. Song invited them to the banquet this time just to have a showdown with them and let them Get ready to move in."

Song Ziwen said.

A smile flashed across Liang Xiao's face, and he said, "Minister Lao Song is here."

"It is Song's responsibility to share the country's worries, but the gold stored in the central bank has to be escorted to Nanjing. This task is none other than General Liang. I believe General Liang has also received the secret order of the commission."

Song Ziwen said.

Liang Xiao nodded, it was his unshirkable responsibility to deposit the gold from Shanghai to Nanjing, and said: "Liang is willing to obey Minister Song's orders."

"Song doesn't dare to send General Liang. We are in cooperation. I'm in charge of the details of the relocation, and you are in charge of escorting the funds."

Song Ziwen said.

“Pleasant to work with.”

Liang Xiao wished that someone would rush to the front to take the lead. Things like this kind of relocation were effortless. If something went wrong, it would be hard to escape the blame.

With Song Ziwen, the God of Wealth standing in front, he is very willing to take the back seat.

At this moment, Song Ziwen finally found Liang Xiao pleasing to his eyes, if it were Dai Li, he would definitely have to fight with him again.

"General Liang, please go ahead... Song has to greet other guests."

Song Ziwen nodded, turned and left.

Liang Xiao took a glass of French red wine from the waiter and began to taste it slowly.

In the hall, suits and leather shoes, long skirts and dresses, romantic music was playing, and the gentlemen who came to the banquet were holding red wine, gathered in a circle in twos and threes, and discussed the hot topics of the moment.

Of course, the most discussed by these people is about romance, such as social queen Tang Ying, what is the relationship between her and Liang Xiao, and what is Liang Xiao's background.

Tang Ying is chatting happily with Lu Xiaoman and other famous ladies at the moment, it can be seen that she is able to deal with it with ease in the social arena.

Chapter 374 Song Ziwen Announces Relocation

In the evening, the Song Mansion was extremely lively, gathering celebrities from the cultural and business circles in Shanghai, and Nantang and Beilu added popularity to the banquet, making the Song Mansion very popular.

Halfway through the banquet, Song Ziwen stood up and said: "Everyone, Mr. Song invited everyone here tonight because he has something to announce. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

"Since the fall of the three northeastern provinces, the Japanese invaders have repeatedly provoked. They stationed troops at Shanhaiguan Pass, looked at the Central Plains of North China, and continued to increase their troops in the Songhu area in an attempt to capture the land of China. The situation in Shanghai is already in jeopardy. War may come at any time. The academy has decided to immediately suspend work and relocate major schools and important factories in Shanghai to avoid wars and unnecessary losses.”

"Song knows that you are all sensible people, and I believe that in the face of this national crisis, you will work together with the government to overcome the national crisis."

His words caused an uproar.

Although some people had already guessed that Song Ziwen's reception this time carried a strong political signal, they never expected that it was not a political signal, but a naked announcement of the government's decision to them.

Everyone was shocked and couldn't recover.

The hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.

Someone asked: "Where did the government ask us to relocate?"

Song Ziwen replied: "Chongqing, Wuhan, or Kunming are all fine. Of course, the specific relocation location has to be determined according to the actual situation.

"

Someone asked: "The relocation of the factory requires a huge amount of money, can the government provide compensation?"

Song Ziwen replied: "The government will give a certain relocation fee to factories that are willing to relocate."

Someone asked: "What if we don't want to move?"

Song Ziwen replied: "I hope everyone can move out of Shanghai. After all, this place is about to become a battlefield. The artillery fire is relentless. The war will inevitably affect the school and the factory. If you don't want your hard work to be destroyed by the war, you should hurry up and prepare for the relocation." .”

Someone asked: "Will the government force us to relocate?"

"The government will not force everyone to relocate. Whether to go or stay is up to everyone. However, I want to remind you that being a subjugated slave is not a good feeling. You can think about Zhang Hanqing, the commander of the Northeast Army. After the Northeast changed its flag, he How high-spirited, but within a few years, the Japanese occupied the three provinces in the Northeast, and he fled out of the Northeast in desperation, living a life under the fence of others. I think you can also feel the feeling of it, but the people in the three provinces in the Northeast are even more miserable. In today's Manchurian and Mongolian regions, the people of our country are not allowed to eat white noodles. Whoever eats white noodles is a capital crime. Those who are unwilling to relocate will end up in Shanghai just like the people in the Manchurian and Mongolian regions. They live a life of darkness. To suffer the torment of the flames of war.”

Song Ziwen said.

"The government has supported more than 200 million national troops. Could it be that it can't even keep a mere Shanghai?"

Someone questioned.

"It's not that we can't keep it, it's that Shanghai will become a battlefield. There will be a big war together. How can the government avoid the casualties of ordinary people?"

Song Ziwen patted his chest and said: "Please believe in Song, the national army is absolutely capable of defending Greater Shanghai, and the government relocated factories and schools to reduce unnecessary.

After the war, everyone can still move back to Shanghai.”

"Minister Song, what if the government can't defend Shanghai?"

"Yes, when Zhang Xueliang was forty years old, the Japanese still occupied the three northeastern provinces. Can the national army hold it?"

"If Shanghai is occupied by the Japanese, wouldn't we become fugitive refugees?"

"Everyone please be quiet."

Song Ziwen lowered his hands and said: "The government will never let you become refugees. You must trust the government and the National Revolutionary Army is an invincible army."

"Minister Song, when will the war start?"

someone asked.

This question seems childish and ridiculous.

The end of the war starts this kind of thing, no matter...

It is impossible for either side of China and Japan to grasp the exact points in advance.

"The shortest is three months, and the longest is half a year."

Song Ziwen replied ambiguously, to be honest, he didn't know when the war would start, and his words were just to comfort them.

"It makes us good"

"Yeah, why is this good guy going to war again?"

"The national army can't beat Japan at all, otherwise the Japanese would not let the three northeastern provinces be occupied."

"Fart, how do you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige."

"That's right, we are all from the Celestial Dynasty, how can we encourage the prestige of the little devil."

Immediately.

The hall was very noisy.

Song Ziwen sighed slightly, even businessmen and celebrities are like this, let alone ordinary people, he is now doing his best to obey the destiny, trying his best to persuade universities and important factories to relocate, as for those... ...The small factories that do not want to relocate, let them go. By this time, the government can no longer take care of them.

After this incident.

Everyone has lost interest in dancing and drinking, those... socialites.

At this moment, they are hanging aside like vases. Of course, Tang Ying will not be left hanging, because she is talking and laughing with Liang Xiao.

...... "Will the war really start?"

Tang Ying frowned slightly, and asked softly.

"The fight will definitely start, and it won't last three months at most."

Liang Xiao said affirmatively.

"If the war starts, what will my father and the others do?"

Tang Ying said worriedly.

"Your father is a famous doctor. The Japanese won't do anything to him. As long as he moves to the concession ahead of time, even if the Japanese occupy Shanghai, they won't be a threat to him."

The relationship between Liang Xiao and Tang Ying cannot be announced to the public, so naturally Tang Ying's father cannot be arranged for a retreat. Of course, the Tang family will never accept his arrangement.

"That's the way it is. My father has a good personal relationship with the French Consul General. Moving to the French Concession will ensure his safety."

Tang Ying said softly.

Liang Xiao's eyes swept across the faces of the people in the hall, taking in the expressions of these people. At this critical moment, he did not allow anything that would be detrimental to the government to happen.
