Yi Zhongjie went home, and now he is a CCP underground party, and Huang Ying cried with joy. Qingfen smiled and said that she fulfilled her promise and brought back Zhong Jie intact. The two of them exuded an unpleasant smell. Qingfen embarrassedly explained that the living conditions were difficult and she hadn't showered for more than half a year. Zhong Jie didn't know how to face A Yuan, and after Zhong Yu's eyes indicated, Aunt Gu urged Qing Fen to go upstairs to take a bath.
The newspaper published: China and Japan launched a general offensive, and Peiping and Tianjin fell one after another. Zhong Yu recalled that day and never heard from Tang Fengwu again, wondering if he was safe or not. Now she has just bought a batch of foreign rice. She knows that once the war starts in Shanghai, the Japanese will try their best to limit the amount of rice grains, but she is worried that these will not last long. Going down to stabilize the price of rice and stabilize the market, and buy some time for the refugees, Zhong Yu smiled and said that he knew that he was obliged to help himself without earning money. Shen Bin said that everything he did was to make Zhong Yu happy.
On August 13, 1937, the day of the August 13th War, a large number of refugees poured into the Shanghai Concession. By mid-August, the number of refugees in the concession had reached 700,000. In the Yi Mansion, Huang Yingru saw that Zhong Ling was worried about Xi Wei'an's safety. Zhong Ling said that the newspaper said the war would end soon. Zhong Xiu refuted why if the Nationalist government had the confidence to win, why would they send people to the factory to persuade them to move westward, and now the factories and schools, Social celebrities fled together, it should be the Kuomintang who left the refugees and ran away. Seeing her mother's reproachful eyes, Zhong Xiu quickly explained that she knew that the eldest brother-in-law had never been with those people, and he was fighting on the front line. Zhong Yu was in a hurry to go to the bank. Zhong Ling claimed that Zhong Yu had organized the Patriotic Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee and called on the overseas Chinese to make voluntary donations every month.
In the car, Tang Fengwu told the British ambassador to China that Japan was bound to launch a more serious incident. Britain and the United States should consider changing their consistent attitude towards Japan and urge the League of Nations to alert Japan to its influence on international peace. The ambassador told him that Washington had suspended the use of the League of Nations law. This is beneficial to the Chinese side, but I hope the Chinese side will also let them see the value of helping. At this time, a fighter plane appeared in the sky above them, and the ambassador told that it was a British car. The Japanese did not dare to do anything. Before the words fell, a bomb had already hit him. Fortunately, Tang Fengwu responded quickly and jumped with the ambassador. car.
Zhong Ling opened a porridge shed at the gate of Xinghua to help the victims. Huang Yingru also came to help. Zhong Jie also brought He Ruilan, the executive director of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Support Association. He Ruilan was also an underground party of the CCP. She wanted to borrow a truck to deliver medicines and medicines to Xinghua The wounded, Zhong Ling readily agreed. After the two left, Zhong Ling saw that He Ruilan was not an ordinary person, and reminded Huang Yingru if she wanted to stop Zhong Jie. Huang Yingru believed that her son would only do the right thing.
Shen Bin came to the door of Xinghua, worried that even if the Yi family had gold and silver, they would be sitting on the mountain. Zhong Yu ordered Manager Song to call a reporter from the newspaper office, and Wang Jianlun in the car had a panoramic view of this scene.
Zhong Jie hoped that the media would appeal to the people of Shanghai to lend a helping hand to help their compatriots. Zhong Yu wants to buy all the photos of the frontline reporters, explaining that these photos record the cruelty of the war and the suffering of the people, and she will use them for her personal collection. Afterwards, she told Shen Bin that Western countries were also concerned about the war, and that these photos would definitely be auctioned at a good price at the bazaar. Shen Bin laughed at herself for worrying too much.
He Ruilan conveyed instructions from his superiors to Zhong Jie: The organization has agreed to arrange a group of party members to enter the refugee camps and shelters to lead the refugees to carry out production and self-rescue. Zhong Jie's primary task is to train a group of volunteers and carry out rescue work.
A large number of refugees dragged their families and wanted to seek refuge in the concession, but they were all turned away. Seeing this, Zhong Xiu negotiated with the police in the concession and brought them some food.
Xi Wei'an received an order from the peak: to recover Luodian at 12 o'clock tonight, if he fails, he will be benevolent. Xi Wei'an is furious, angry that the enemy has planes and tanks and they are only flesh and blood. The divisions take turns in battle, those who advance live and those who retreat die, and retake Luodian at all costs. He personally oversaw the battle, and there were retreating shootings on the spot.
Director Liao and his colleagues were playing cards in the office. He heard that the Yi family had launched a voluntary fundraiser and bought tens of millions of national salvation bonds. He disdainfully disdained that the pensions for the soldiers killed in the front line had not yet arrived, and his subordinates immediately stated that they would personally go to the Yi family to raise them. . Tang Fengwu made a sudden visit and asked him that he had leaked the military plan to block the Jiangyin fortress today. Two hours ago, the British Embassy's car was blown up by the Japanese army, and the ambassador was seriously injured. Director Liao said it was just an accident. After he reported it, it was up to Shangfeng to decide. He reminded Tang Fengwu that his position was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office in Lu, not in their intelligence office. At this time, Wang Jianlun came and asked Tang Fengwu to go with him. After Tang Fengwu went out, he reprimanded Director Liao for playing cards for fun when the country was in danger, and the party-state plan would be ruined by them sooner or later.
Wang Jianlun pointed a gun at Tang Fengwu after arriving in the corridor, saying that he has always regarded himself as a democracy, and now the embassy in the United States has a special ministerial counselor. So I suspect he has ulterior motives. Tang Fengwu explained that there is another candidate for the rescue of the United States. He is not from the Kuomintang. He only believes in democracy and freedom, and hopes to see a peaceful country. Today, all the people in Shanghai are Chinese who defend their families and the country. If Wang Jianlun disagrees, he can do it at any time. Wang Jianlun put away his gun and said that in the face of national justice, his personal grievances are not worth mentioning, and he urgently needs Tang Fengwu's help: the central government has ordered the military police headquarters Gu Zhengwen to investigate the Jiangyin Fortress leak case, but in fact the leak case not only happened At high levels in Nanjing, there were frequent incidents in Shanghai. He asked for the help of Tang Fengwu to elicit the sources of Japanese intelligence in Shanghai. The object of his suspicion is Director-General Fu Yanchang, a key member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government. He graduated from Tokyo University in his early years and was a classmate with Shigeru Kawagoe, the Japanese ambassador to China. Now he has become a popular person around Chairman Jiang under the name of the Sino-Japanese peace talks. , he currently has no evidence.
Lu Pei chased Zhong Xiu to explain that what happened that day was really a misunderstanding, but Zhong Xiu closed the door and went into the room and ignored it. Lu Pei had to go home and call to explain, Zhong Xiu punished him for playing the saxophone, Lu Pei did it, but Zhong Xiu quietly gave the call to the servant and went upstairs to rest.
Zhong Yu took Shen Bin to visit Yu's house. In the car, she heard the news that Tang Fengwu and the British ambassador to China were injured, and immediately got out of the car, and asked Shen Bin to go to Yu's mansion first. Shen Bin got out of the car to stop her, and Zhong Yu told him: Mr. Yu's six daughters are looking for a son-in-law, and the fifth lady is very suitable for him, which is why I took him there today.
Su Yin is now Director Fu's secretary. Today she came to find Tang Fengwu, who happened to be away. While Wang Bingwen was busy, Su Yin saw a document on Tang Fengwu's desk for the transportation of supplies between China and France via the Indochina Peninsula. She went out and met Zhong Yu in the corridor. Su Yin made a rude remark, and Zhong Yu responded calmly. She learned from Wang Bingwen that Tang Fengwu was in a meeting safe and sound, so she ignored his invitation to leave. Going downstairs, Zhong Yu remembered that Tang Fengwu had promised him to transfer Su Yin and would never see her again, but now she appeared in his office again. Thinking of this, Zhong Yu cried aggrievedly.
Wang Bingwen returned to the office and did not understand why Tang Fengwu deliberately disclosed the document to Su Yin. Tang Fengwu explained that Japan insisted on denying that the Songlu War of Resistance was a full-scale battlefield, and they had the right to ask France to ensure the freedom of trade and transportation between China and France in accordance with international law, including military supplies. Director Fu had colluded with the Japanese, and he couldn't sit still when he got this news. Wang Bingwen told Tang Fengwu that Zhongyu bumped into Su Yin at the door, and suggested that he take time to explain to Zhongyu.
