Chapter 223 Influence, Taxpayer Conference

According to Chen Chen's observation and judgment, Jiang Wen was a guy who was extremely afraid of death. He first beat him to the point of being dizzy, then asked him to put on a vest, and then used words to stimulate and threaten him.

Under this series of mental blows, he had no time to judge what the vest was. He might only remember the message in his heart, so he had a great chance of running all the way to No. 76.

…………

The building in the middle of No. 76 is called Gaofang, which is the main building of No. 76.

Walking up the stone steps, you will see the hall and the stairs, and the east end is the reception room. Behind it is the communication room.

"Boom!" The explosion suddenly came. Ding Motun, who was working, was like a frightened rabbit. He rushed into the bathroom with a whoosh and locked the door lock with a click.

After a while, the chaotic footsteps and shouts were getting closer and closer. Several people came outside the door and began to call Ding Motun, and kept knocking on the door.

After a long time, Ding Motun realized that there was no danger, so he walked out of the bathroom and opened the door.

"Director Ding, it's not good." Zhang Beisheng, the new guard captain, looked anxious. Without waiting for Ding Motun to ask questions, he spoke: "Jiang Wen hurriedly ran in, holding a letter in his hand, saying it was a letter saying it was a letter of the 'Blood Flag Sect', and he insisted on handing it to the director."

"What then?" Ding Motun asked with a frown.

"It was getting late, and the brothers at the door thought he was abnormal, so they stopped him and asked to inform him first." Zhang Beisheng continued: "But Jiang Wen was yelling in a hurry and started arguing with his brothers. Then, he suddenly exploded, and with the brothers around him..."

"He exploded?" Ding Motun widened his eyes, "Does he pull the grenade or the explosive pack?"

"None of them!" Zhang Beisheng stomped his feet, "Several brothers are there. If he wants to do something, he will have stopped him. It's really that he suddenly exploded."

"Take me to see." Ding Motun turned around and walked out, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on.

Since the road outside the door was built across the border and no guards could be sent, behind the gate of No. 76, a row of bows and bows were often stood, unsheathed, and live ammunition were used as the guard.

At this time, there was a mess here, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. Although the explosives in Chen Chen's explosion vest were only more than three kilograms, it was mixed with a lot of steel beads and iron filings. When it exploded, it was astonishingly lethal.

At that time, the guards surrounding Jiang Wen were basically not spared. They were sieves by dense steel balls and iron filings. Even many of the people behind were hit and were screaming.

Several Japanese military police stationed in No. 76 were carefully inspecting the scene under the leadership of Shibuya Warrant Officer.

"Ding Sang." Seeing Ding Motun and others coming over, Shibuya shook his head and said, "Jiang Wen is a traitor. His conscience is very broken. He works with a bomb on his back."

"Bombing on your back?" Ding Motun looked down at the bloody scene. Poor Jiang Wen's limbs were broken, and the only thing that was preserved was his head.

"Director Ding." A wounded guard covered his bloody face and said, "Jiang Wen, this bastard, he didn't carry a bomb, otherwise the brothers would have held him down long ago."

"What's going on?" Ding Motun asked with a frown: "How could it explode suddenly without a bomb on its back?"

"Yes, it's the vest he's wearing." The injured guard said: "It's thick and locked. The brothers just felt strange and were checking. It was the sudden explosion of the game that hurt the brothers."

Ding Motun squatted down and pinched a piece of rag with blood. It was a very strong, similar thing to canvas. There was no such thing as using this kind of cloth to make clothes. He frowned tightly.

"Come the explosion expert and investigate the scene." Ding Motun stood up and ordered: "Build a thick wall here, and then search the body first and then let it in. No one is allowed to tell you about this." Finally, he almost roared.

Ding Motun was originally the director of the Third Department of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau headed by Chen Lifu. Later, the Investigation and Statistics Bureau was divided into two parts, forming two systems: Military Affairs and Central Affairs Commission.

Dai Li's status rose and he became the head of the Military Control Commission; Xu Enzeng continued to operate the Central Command; Ding Motun was undermined and was depressed and unsuccessful. He was recruited by his former subordinate Li Shijun and threw himself into the arms of the Japanese.

It can be said that Ding Motun surrendered to the enemy completely based on the failure of personnel struggles, and his will was unsuccessful as the starting point. Resentment turned into hatred, and instead surrendered to the enemy was purely a kind of revenge of a woman, and ignored the country and putting the concept of nationality behind his mind.

What is terrible is that such a tide of surrendering to the enemy was not Ding's own, but a large number of people; it was not the special period of the Republic of China, but the previous dynasties that had been staged on a large scale in the late Ming Dynasty.

Shen Chen is still doing his own things. Hongkou's "Little Tokyo" cinema was attacked by a time bomb he created. The bag bomb killed and injured nearly 20 Japanese people, so that the newspaper exclaimed that the terrifying operation had escalated, the bomb replaced the pistol, and the explosion sounded overwhelmed the gunshots.

After two consecutive explosions, Shen Chen did not claim responsibility in the name of the "Blood Flag Sect", but instead sent articles to the newspapers pro-Chongqing in the tone of the Military Control Commission.

Jiang Wen's suicide attack can be said to be basically successful, killing and injuring many guards No. 76, which made No. 76 lose face and deliberately concealed the matter.

The newspapers pro-Chongqing disclosed in detail the inside story of this incident with the title "Sacrifice for righteousness and severely attacking traitors", and classified Jiang Wen as an anti-Japanese fighter.

What are you going to endure humiliation, pretend to surrender to the enemy, seize the opportunity, and kill and injure many traitors in No. 76 at the cost of sacrificing death. This kind of courageous spirit of not fearing sacrifice will inspire the Chinese people to fight against Japan.

As soon as this article was published, everyone was stunned.

Suicide attacks at that time were not mainstream, and people rarely heard of them or saw them. In most cases, this extreme action was taken when they were chased to the point of desperate situation or were caught in failure.

But by Shen Chen's suicide attack became a very iron-blooded, exciting, fashionable and patriotic activity.

Even some ordinary people living at the bottom of society know that when they are bullied, they make harsh words: "Ah a slut, if you force Allah, you will carry a bomb to bomb the whole family."

Not only did No. 76 feel scared, but a major internal inspection was conducted, and the entry and exit system also became extremely strict.

Who can guarantee that there will be another Jiang Wen? After this, the distrust of each other spreads within No. 76.

The Japanese are deeply aware of the dangers of this matter.

Just imagine, if more Chinese people took similar suicide actions, let alone bombs, even one fruit knife, it would be enough to kill all the Japanese in Shanghai.

Therefore, the inspection of several bridges entering Hongkou became very strict. The Japanese military police were facing a great enemy and patrolled back and forth on the streets, inspecting all suspicious people and objects.

"It's a mess." Chen Chen smiled and threw the newspaper in front of Chu Jiao, "It just made Jiang Wen get a big advantage and actually became an anti-Japanese hero."

"You're all dead, you're still jealous!" Chu Jiao picked up the newspaper and took a casual look. "That's a sudden change, the Japanese are so nervous."

"Can you not be nervous?" Chen Chen said lightly: "No need to be too many. Such a guy who is not afraid of death among ten thousand people is enough for the Japanese to have a headache."

"It's a pity that there are really not so many Chinese who are generous in their righteousness." Chu Jiao sighed softly, "I would rather be killed by a coward than stand up and fight to the death."

Chen Chen shook his head, stood up and said, "You can't say that, it's just that we have seen a few. Think about it, on the battlefield, there are thousands of martyrs we don't know."

Seeing that Chen Chen was about to leave, Chu Jiao hurriedly said, "I can't practice my leg skills well. See what's wrong with it."

Chen Chen looked at Chu Jiao and teased: "Why, are you almost surpassed by your apprentice?"

"No." Chu Jiao was stubborn and pulled Chen Chen to the practice field.

Chen Chen looked at Chu Jiao's practice for a while and began to give advice, "Use your toes and exert force at a little."

Chu Jiao nodded, and he kicked the bottle to pieces with one kick.

"Although you have made progress, you have to work harder and practice more." Chen Chen reluctantly encouraged Chu Jiao, "Remember, it's a point, not a kick. When can you just kick the bottle mouth and the bottle is not overturned, it means that the speed is enough and then there is explosive power."

Chu Jiao curled her lips, "It's very difficult. It would be great if the bottle was fixed. It would be nice if it was placed there in a false and floating manner. It would be nice if it didn't kick it away."

Chen Chen shook his head, walked over, and said, "You put the bottle and I'll kick it to you."

"Okay!" Chu Jiao happily put two bottles.

Chen Chen took a deep breath, moved his body, and suddenly he raised his feet, and a crisp sound, and the bottle mouth was broken. His feet fell to the ground, and he turned around and kicked, and another crisp sound.

"Speed, accurate, and strength." Chen Chen pointed, "You have all the shortcomings in these three aspects. Practice well, and you have to think about it while practicing."

Chu Jiao nodded admiringly and said, "When did you promise to give me the special shoes? When will you give them to me?"

"Not only shoes, I have designed several weapons for you!" Chen Chen pondered for a moment and asked in confusion: "That Chen Baihe has really made rapid progress, so can you feel pressure?"

Chu Jiao thought for a while and said, "It's not that there is any pressure, but I think I have to surpass her a lot. Of course, her progress is also great."

Chen Chen felt thoughtful, but not very clear and certain. After giving some advice for a while, he turned around and left.

…………

On July 26, 1939, US President Roosevelt announced that he would give Japan six months to abolish the trade treaty signed by the United States and Japan in 1911.

When the Chinese heard this news, they shouted in unison.

The Japanese, especially the militarists in Tokyo, regard this matter as a fundamental change in US East Asian policy and began to plan new measures against the United States.

On September 27, 1940, Germany, Italy and Japan signed a military alliance treaty, and their attacks were directly targeted by the United States, and the United States' Far East policy changed significantly again.

US President Roosevelt reiterated that he did not recognize the Wang puppet regime and officially announced that he would lend China $100 million and lift the binding arms embargo on belligerent countries.

At the same time, the US authorities in the public concession began to become tough and began to stubbornly stop Japan's actions to damage the autonomy of the concession.

As the puppet police relied on the Japanese army to expand their power to the suburbs, the conflicts with the Ministry of Industry Police Department in the area where the road construction crossed the border in the west of Shanghai became fierce, and shootings on both sides continued to occur.

It is under this situation that the public concession taxpayer conference was held in the Race Hall, which seemed to indicate that unusual big things would happen.

Chen Chen led a few subordinates into the venue. A Chinese captain saluted him. He nodded, pointed and assigned his subordinates.

Half of the people sat in the stands, taking the seats according to nationality, the British and Americans sat together, while the sparse Nordics and Chinese sat among them.

Chen Chen saw Bao Ling, the director of the Police Department, and walked over with his wave.

After the salute, Bao Ling looked at Chen Chen, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I have always had a bad premonition about what might happen today."

Chen Chen said: "There are indeed omissions in the security and protection work of the venue. If the taxpayer can search before entering the venue, there will be no hidden dangers."

Bao Ling shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The Japanese are already deeply dissatisfied and try not to take measures to intensify their emotions."

Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "The rules for using firearms are very vague. Can the officer explain it more clearly?"

Bao Ling nodded and said in a pondering voice: "If it is just an ordinary riot, such as fighting, throwing chairs, etc., it will not directly threaten life. Do not use firearms; if it is assassination and uses high-risk weapons, I can authorize you to use firearms. And--"

Bao Ling turned his head and pointed, saying, "You can judge the specific situation more accurately when you stand there."

Chen Chen looked at it and found that it was relatively high. Not far ahead was the table where the directors of the Ministry of Industry were sitting. Looking forward, the audience seats were seen.

"I will do my best to protect the safety of the directors." Chen Chen understood what Bao Ling meant and nodded vigorously.

At this time, the Japanese began to enter the venue. The guys lined up, as if they were reviewing, wearing almost the same outfits.

The Japanese seats were on the right side of the British and Americans, with awkwardly separated from the Germans and Italians.

Chen Chen asked Bao Ling for instructions, then walked towards his position and opened the holster so that he could quickly pull it out.

The position he was in was able to see the backs of the directors and the faces of the people in the front rows of people in the audience. After a glance, Chen Chen moved to the right again, almost facing the Japanese seat.

Over time, the taxpayer meeting began and was gradually carried out according to the agenda.

According to the tax increase plan of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, the Japanese also proposed a proposal to make up for the deficit through loans.

Because this is a proposal by the Japanese, all the Japanese will vote for it, and the British and Americans will vote against it.

British and American taxpayers account for the majority, and even if Germans and Italians support the Japanese, they cannot obtain a majority. The failure is obvious.

Lin Xiongji, chairman of the Taxpayer Association, walked onto the podium and read the speech in poorly fluent English, but his tone was very similar to the German mustache.

Incessant talk, or rather long-winded, Lin Xiongji has been talking for more than an hour, making the atmosphere in the venue dull and impatient.

Chen Chen kept scanning the people in the audience and found no signs of threat.

Of course, he didn't listen to what Lin Xiongji was saying at all, and the proposal had nothing to do with him.
