Sitting in the cafe on the top floor of the International Hotel, the tallest building in Asia, not long after its opening, Chen Xiuwen and Hong Junwei, James enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Shanghai while savoring the fragrant coffee. In the past two days, Chen Xiuwen was in a good mood, left his troops behind and accompanied Hong Junwei and James to have fun in Shanghai for two days.

"Shen, Shanghai is really a beautiful place. When I make enough money in the future, I will settle in Shanghai when I get old and enjoy my old age in this beautiful city. Of course, if there are no annoying Japanese, Shanghai will be even more beautiful." James said enthusiastically.

Sitting on the cafe on the top floor of the International Hotel, you can see the entire Shanghai by bird's eye view. The only thing that feels dazzling is that the most docked on the Huangpu River is the Japanese warship with menstruation flags. Moreover, in the past two days, a Japanese named Jiro Oshima has looked for James several times and wanted to talk to him about the agency rights of penicillin in Japan. Of course, it is best to be authorized to produce in Japan. After staying with Hong Junwei for a long time, James has no good feelings for the Japanese.

Looking at the leisurely James, Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity."

"Why?" James asked in surprise.

Chen Xiuwen just shook his head and did not explain anything to him, because he knew that in the next fifteen years, Shanghai would be occupied by the Japanese for eight years, and in fifteen years, China would be in a state of hostility with the United States for more than 20 years. So James' wish was equivalent to a dream.

"Brother Guangfu, do you mean that sooner or later, China and Japan will have a war, and Shanghai will be occupied by the Japanese?" Hong Junwei asked worriedly.

Chen Xiuwen nodded and said, "Yes, China and Japan will have a war sooner or later, and it will not be far away. So I have been mobilizing my old man to gradually transfer his industry in Shanghai to the United States or the mainland. This war lasts for a long time, and places like Shanghai will definitely be lost."

"What about our hometown Ningbo? It is also the chairman's hometown, so it won't?" Hong Junwei asked quickly with a nervous look on his face.

"Junwei, it's better to take your old man to the United States as soon as possible. If China and Japan start war, let alone Ningbo, even Nanjing, Guangzhou and Wuhan will be lost." As a Ningbo native, Chen Xiuwen clearly remembers that Ningbo was captured by the Japanese in 1941, and even Chiang Kai-shek's original wife Mao died in the bombing of Japanese planes.

"Are we just destroyed our country by Japan like this?"

"Of course not. Although our China is much behind Japan, how big is China and how big is the little Japan? How many people are there in China and how many people are there in Japan? One day we will drive the little Japan out of China's land." Chen Xiuwen said, with a decisive look on his face.

"Brother Guangfu." Hong Junwei looked at Chen Xiuwen hesitantly and said, "If this is the case, you might as well go to the United States with us. We have penicillin in our hands and we will never sell it to Japan in the future. Isn't it the same if we support more domestic support? Take over all our family and Cheng Dean, the gangster. After all, it's not safe."

Chen Xiuwen sighed deeply. He understood what Hong Junwei meant and was also very moved. After coming to this era for a long time, Chen Xiuwen has deeply integrated into the current era, and sometimes even forgot that he was a time traveler. He had considered this issue and had also had a fierce ideological struggle for it. He knew the progress of history. Without him, Chen Xiuwen, the Japanese surrendered in 1945. It would be better to go to the United States with his family to be a peaceful and prosperous family. He has been struggling at the bottom of society in later generations and now he has the conditions to fully enjoy life.

But whenever he thinks of the Nanjing Massacre, the 30 million compatriots who died, and the more than 3 million anti-Japanese soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight against Japan, it will make him excited. No matter whether he has the ability to change history or not, he cannot watch the Japanese invaders rampant on the land of China, and he also wants to make his own contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Chen Xiuwen's silence also made Hong Junwei sigh softly, and the expression on his face was also very complicated, with worries and sadness, but more of admiration.

"Shen, I understand now that you buy arms not for yourself to be a warlord, but for the sake of the Japanese in the future." James, who had been sitting next to him, also said with a serious look on his face: "I came to China very early. Your country is like the United States more than a hundred years ago. I believe you will definitely defeat the Japanese in the future, just like our United States of America defeated the British back then." As he said that, James felt embarrassed to go from his bag He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Xiuwen and said, "Chen, I'm really sorry. Last year, I transported two hundred Chicago printers from the United States, which is the Thomson submachine gun you told me, and 500,000 bullets. I originally wanted to sell it to a powerful Chinese faction. But later this faction was wiped out by your Chairman Jiang, and no one asked for this batch of weapons. I originally wanted to wait for the goods you wanted to be sold to you together, but now I want to give it to you."

Chen Xiuwen laughed as soon as he heard this. The originally slightly dull atmosphere seemed to be interrupted by James and became relaxed again.

"James, you are still the true nature of the profiteer back then. OK, I will accept it, thank you. However, the price will be settled with you after you get me the M1 Galand rifle and the M2 Browning heavy machine gun." Chen Xiuwen smiled and took the book of lading from James and looked at it. All the things were stored in a public rental warehouse.

"Ah, Shen, you are so generous. I am honored to be your employee and also for your help. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the M1 Galand rifle and the M2 Browning heavy machine gun." James said immediately with a smile.

After joking for a while, Chen Xiuwen thought for a while and said, "By the way, the Japanese have already smelled the smell of penicillin, and James rejected the request of Jiro Oshima. I think the Japanese will definitely not give up. You should leave Shanghai early and return to the United States."

Hong Junwei restrained the smile on his face, nodded solemnly and said, "I think so too. I will book the ticket to leave Shanghai as soon as possible tomorrow."

"Well, in addition, I have asked Chen Yi to go to Suzhou to bring a class here. Before you leave, you will be responsible for protecting your safety." Chen Xiuwen said.

"Shen, don't be so nervous. I am an American citizen and it's a public rental here. The Japanese dare not do anything to me." James said at this time, showing the unique self-feeling of Westerners.

Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but think in his heart: The Japanese dare to attack Pearl Harbor, the old nest of your Pacific Fleet, and they dare not touch you, an American citizen. It's a joke.

Hong Junwei was very nervous and said, "Brother Guangfu is talking about it. James, don't underestimate the Japanese. They can do everything. If they secretly kidnapped you without leaving any evidence, who will you ask for someone?"

James was a little scared and nodded repeatedly, "It's time to be careful." He said that, and then gritted his teeth and cursed, "Hey, these hate Japanese monkeys."

At the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, No. 3 Minhang Road, Hongkou, Jiro Oshima, who had hit a wall many times at James, was gritting his teeth and reporting to Iwai Hidei: "Your Excellency, James flatly refused any cooperation with our Great Japanese Empire. This person is very hostile to our Great Japanese Empire. I ask for extraordinary measures against James, otherwise we will have no chance after we return to the United States."

"Did James have any other actions besides going to Suzhou once during this period?" Iwai asked with a frown. After all, James is an American, and if he is not careful, it will cause diplomatic disputes. Now Japan is the time when he needs the United States, it needs to import a large amount of oil, steel and rubber from the United States.

"Our people have been following James. Since he came back from Suzhou, he has been eating, drinking and having fun with the Chinese merchant Hong Junwei and Chen Xiuwen, the leader of the Third Security Regiment. He usually lives in an international hotel. According to our observation, James and the Chinese merchant seemed to have made a special trip to visit Chen Xiuwen this time." Jiro Oshima said with some confusion.

"I came to visit a small security commander?" Iwai Eiichi grabbed his head in confusion and asked, "What is the background of this Chen Xiuwen? Have you found out?"

"Chen Xiuwen, male, 24 years old, graduated from the ninth class of the Central Military Academy. He was originally the major battalion commander of the elite 88th Division of the Central Army. He was transferred to the position of the newly formed 3rd Shanghai Security Regiment a month ago. The reason why Chen Xiuwen was promoted so quickly was that in addition to being an outstanding student in the ninth class of the Central Military Academy, he was also the youngest son of Chen Jingzong, the president of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. Chen Xiude, the eldest son of Chen Jingde, was the leader of Chiang Kai-shek's attendant group 1 and Group 2. He was just promoted to Lieutenant General at the beginning of this year and was one of Chiang Kai-shek's most respected Whampoa officers." Speaking of this, Jiro Oshima paused for a moment, frowned and said, "Your Excellency, and according to our judgment, James' attitude towards the empire may be largely influenced by Chen Xiuwen. Do you still remember the incident of shooting the expatriates of the Great Japanese Empire four years ago on public loan?"

Eiichi Iwai nodded with surprise. He was also one of the Japanese negotiators back then. After this incident, he had made a strong protest to China on behalf of the Japanese government. In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

"Your Excellency, according to our investigation, the person who committed the crime was Chen Xiuwen. He later fled to Nanjing, signed up for the Central Military Academy, and then joined the army. This man has always hated the Empire. Not only did he know James a few years ago, but the Chinese businessman Hong Junwei who had been with James was also his classmate. And when Chen Xiuwen shot and killed the empire's expatriates, Hong Junwei was also present. Therefore, we think James' current attitude was largely influenced by these two people."

"Yoxi. So this Chen Xiuwen has such a background." Iwai Eiichi nodded, walked around the office with his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a while, he turned around and ordered Jiro Oshima: "Be careful about Chen Xiuwen and his third security regiment. At this time, the National Government sent such a security force to enter Shanghai, which is very delicate." As he said, a trace of ferocious look flashed on Iwai Eiichi's face and said: "In addition, if there is no progress in the negotiations with James, you can take extraordinary measures, together with the Chinese businessman around him. Remember, you must do it seamlessly and not cause any diplomatic disputes. If necessary, you can push this matter to the Chinese."
