It's raining.

The raindrops drizzle on the eaves, on the ground, on the vehicle windshield.

Li Hao sat in the driver's seat silently. He was always alert. His left hand seemed to be on the steering wheel, and his right hand was within reach. He was a short Browning gun.

Cheng Qianfan sat quietly in the back seat, his eyes shining through the windshield to see the wet black and long rainy night.

The vehicle parked at the entrance of the alley.

This is a relatively hidden alley entrance, but the location is wonderful and the viewing field is very good.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Two car lights penetrate the rain and fog.

When the vehicle passed the street entrance, the speed was very fast and some mud and water splashed.

"Brother Fan." Li Hao turned his head and looked at the back seats.

"Is this car?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"It's hard to confirm." Li Hao frowned and shook his head. "Originally, the car would pass by the street light, so I could see it clearly, but I didn't expect it to rain suddenly."

As he said that, he thought, "I can only say it's very similar."

When Cheng Qianfan and Araki Kazumo were drinking and drinking, Li Hao was waiting in the yard. He would secretly observe the situation in the yard.

Just now, as soon as Cheng Qianfan came back, Li Hao reported a situation:

There is an extra black car in the yard, and I have never seen the license plate before.

Cheng Qianfan speculated that the car belonged to the mysterious man in Araki Hatsuma's office.

"Brother Fan, do you want to follow me?" Li Hao asked.

"No need." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.

For him, there are actually safety hazards at the moment. To be serious, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a critical situation.

Because he can't figure out why Sanbenjilang secretly eavesdropped.

Cheng Qianfan's brain was running fast like a machine.

In this case, he knew that his most rational and correct way was to focus on stability and not blindly move.

You never know if there are eyes peeking in the dark!

"Check that license plate number." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and said.

"yes."

"I'm back." Cheng Qianfan said.

"yes."

...

The rain was heavy on the day and it was all night.

The next day, when Cheng Qianfan came to find Lao Huang to open throat cream, Lao Huang also told him that many places were flooded, and the little slut had robbed the house while taking advantage of the heavy rain last night.

"The one who was robbed was Pang Laoyou from Nanshi." Lao Huang said.

Cheng Qianfan knew that Pang Laoyou opened a cloth shop in Nancheng City. The business was pretty good. The Japanese occupied the Chinese world, and Pang Laoyou's family escaped into the French Concession.

There are many families like Mr. Pang who take refuge in the French Concession.

"Old Pang was beaten half to death, Xiaoruo was stolen, and the girl was almost ruined," said Lao Huang.

"Lawless." Cheng Qianfan cursed.

When the deputy general manager of the police station in the Central District of the French Concession cursed this, he had a smile on his face, obviously not taking the tragic experience of Mr. Pang's family seriously.

Old Huang looked at Cheng Qianfan, and he lowered his voice and said, "If I hadn't known, I would have hated you just now."

"I know." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I also know that many comrades have always wanted to kill me."

He looked serious, "I will temporarily enter a state of silence during this period of time. Unless there is something urgent, I will not do anything."

"What happened?" Old Huang frowned and asked.

"I can't say it for the time being." Cheng Qianfan took the cigarette handed over by Lao Huang, "It's the special high school class. I noticed someone was secretly eavesdropping on my conversation with Araki."

"Is it Sanbenjiro?"

"Maybe." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He lit the cigarette and took a light sip, with a comfortable expression on his face. "It just so happened that a lot of things happened during this period. I was worried that it would attract the enemy's spy, so it would be better to be more stable."

"Okay." Lao Huang nodded.

He understood the meaning of Comrade ‘Flag’ saying hello. When Comrade ‘Flag’ temporarily ‘cannot preside over the work’ for some reason, the work of the French Concession’s special party branch was temporarily responsible for the deputy secretary Comrade ‘Piano’.

...

Cheng Qianfan decided to enter a 'silence' state.

He is not just letting go of the organization's work for the time being.

At the same time, he also ordered his troops to enter a temporary state of silence on the Shanghai Special Information Group.

It is silence, not silence.

Silence means that you will not take any initiative to take action for the time being, reducing unnecessary contacts between going out and various units.

Silence is based on silence, and each group will also cut off contact before, making preservation of personnel the top priority.

Cheng Qianfan was busy with four things when he was free.

First, making money, the most direct benefit to Cheng Qianfan's black market business was that he immediately ordered a significant increase in prices of all supplies from Europe!

Secondly, "Mr. Xiao Cheng" was busy dealing with his wife Bai Ruolan, as well as his two mistresses Ying Huaizhen and Zhang Ping, and he was extremely happy.

Third, the conflict between "Jiujiu Trading" and the New Asia Peace Promotion Association intensified, and several bloody conflicts occurred between the two sides, and a gun was fired at one point.

Fourth, Cheng Qianfan's hobby is to "talk about war on paper" with Pitt and always pay attention to the Polish war.

After Britain and France officially declared war on Germany.

According to normal logic, since war has been declared, Britain and France should naturally send troops to fight with the German army.

Moreover, at this time, the main force of the German army was on the Eastern Front, which was extremely beneficial to Britain and France in terms of military strength between the two sides.

Based on the news in the newspaper and telegram exchanges with France, Cheng Qianfan and Pitt were able to roughly grasp the current situation.

The German army did arrange an army group on the German-French border to prevent Britain and France from taking the opportunity to send troops.

There should be about thirty divisions in this army, but there may be only ten of them active divisions, and there seems to be no armored troops or motorized troops.

On the other hand, the British and French coalition forces had more than 100 divisions, and they were absolutely active in their troops.

It can be said that once Britain and France launch an attack, the German army can only draw the main force on the Eastern Front, which will directly affect the war on the Eastern Front.

Pete even learned to use the idiom "surround Wei and save Zhao" to describe this military situation choice.

In addition, if the French crossed the Rhine River to attack Germany's Ruhr area when the British and French troops attacked Poland, it would undoubtedly be a waste of money for Germany, because the Ruhr area is Germany's industrial center.

In addition, news was published in French newspapers on the 5th that Poland once again sought emergency assistance from France, asking General Ganmolin to keep his promise.

This was August, and Ganmolin swore to the Poles that if Germany dared to invade Poland, France would send up as many as fifty divisions of troops to aid Poland. ‘The French army will go west along the Polish corridor and cut Germany’.

However, in the face of the Poles' hoarse request for help, the French military was silent.

After Britain and France declared war on Germany, they remained silent, which greatly hit Poland's morale.

Leeds, commander-in-chief of the Polish army, has ordered all troops to be withdrawn east of the Vistula River and to build a new line of defense.

In addition, the Polish government fled Warsaw in a hurry and headed for Lublin.

German newspapers described it as saying, "From a military perspective, the war has ended, and all that is left is to kill a rabbit."

...

Faced with huge international public pressure.

The British and French finally made some moves.

On the seventh day, the British and French ground troops launched a tentative attack on the German army.

The newspaper immediately reported it, saying that the British and French coalition forces had won a victory over the German army.

"What's wrong? Didn't it mean that a small victory would hit the German army's arrogance?" Cheng Qianfan was smoking a cigar and joking with a bad expression on Pitt.

Pete glared at Cheng Qianfan, meaning that you also read the telegram and knew the truth, so don’t say such sarcastic words.

Unlike many French people in the French Concession cheering for the small victory achieved by the British and French coalition forces, Cheng Qianfan and Pitt, the observer of the extra-staff war, understands the inside story:

The British and French coalition forces did have an attack on the Western Front, but this attack was very funny. After the Germans fired back, the British and French coalition forces retreated and the two sides confronted each other again.

The "war situation" on the German-France border was understood by the German side.

The Germans understood that the British and French coalition had no intention of actually having a large-scale war with the German army, so the German army on the Eastern Front suddenly began to accelerate its sweep in Poland.

On the same day, the Lundstedt Southern Army Group severely damaged the two armies of the Polish army, "Krakow" and "Rodz", and occupied the second largest city in Poland, Krakow and industrial center Roodz.

Subsequently, the German armored army approached the southern suburbs of Warsaw and cut off the retreat route of the Poznan army.
