Chapter 727: The Foreign Land

Ten Miles of Foreign Land.

French Concession.

Du Mansion.

As a well-informed person, Du Yuesheng has been very busy recently after hearing that the Battle of Songhu is about to start.

He foresaw that once the war started, many Chinese people would definitely be separated from their wives and children and have no food or clothing.

So Du Yuesheng strictly ordered his subordinates to buy a large amount of various grains to provide relief to the victims.

In addition, thinking that he would lead his troops to participate in the war, Du Yuesheng also painstakingly purchased weapons.

On this day, Du Yuesheng sent someone to invite Zhang Xiaolin.

In fact, there was a reason why the two of them could get together.

The Battle of Songhu was about to break out. Through tactical sand table simulation, Jiang Jieshi knew that China would lose this battle.

In fact, the Supreme Command was very supportive of this result.

Thinking that after the fall of Shanghai, the three tycoons might be used by the devils to establish a puppet government, etc., which would be detrimental to China, Jiang Jieshi issued an order to them.

Yes, each of the three of them has thousands of subordinates under his command.

Once the three of them were coerced and lured by the devils and boarded their pirate ship, the consequences would be disastrous.

For this reason, Jiang Jieshi suggested that Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin go to Hong Kong to develop together before and after the fall of Shanghai.

Du Yuesheng had already reached a consensus with Huang Jinrong.

Du Yuesheng's purpose was very simple, that is, he hoped that Zhang Xiaolin would also join the battlefield when the battle started.

What made Du Yuesheng depressed was that Zhang Xiaolin was hesitant about leading his troops to join the war.

Zhang Xiaolin was from Cixi, Zhejiang.

After moving to Shanghai, he joined the Green Gang and gradually became the leader, and was called the "Three Shanghai Tycoons" together with Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng.

In fact, the status of the "Three Tycoons" was originally Huang, Zhang, and Du.

Later, it became Du, Huang, and Zhang.

Du Yuesheng vaguely became the first leader of the Green Gang.

Zhang Xiaolin debuted earlier than Du Yuesheng, and his qualifications were higher than Du, and he had saved Du's life.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaolin was always dissatisfied with Du being the boss.

After receiving the notice from Jiang Jieshi, Zhang Xiaolin's mind became active.

Shanghai was a place where Chinese and foreigners lived together, and various forces were intertwined. It was easy for the devils to capture but difficult to rule, so they had to win over and use people with status, especially those from the Green Gang.

Among the three tycoons, Huang Jinrong had already indicated that he would not work for the devils, and Du Yuesheng promised Jiang Jieshi that he would go to Hong Kong to develop.

A good opportunity to dominate Shanghai was right in front of us!

In fact, when the devils captured Shanghai, Zhang Xiaolin jumped out immediately.

After the fall of Shanghai, Matsui Iwane, the commander of the devil's Shanghai Expeditionary Force, quickly reached an agreement with Zhang Xiaolin.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaolin arranged his disciples to coerce all walks of life to "coexist and prosper" with the devils, and wantonly suppressed anti-Japanese and national salvation activities and arrested and killed patriotic patriots.

While openly surrendering to the enemy, when the devils were preparing to establish the pseudo Zhejiang Provincial Government, Zhang Xiaolin even planned to serve as the pseudo governor.

That's not all. He also sent people to other places in the name of the chairman of the "New Asia Peace Promotion Association" to buy grain, cotton, coal, medicine, etc. for the devils.

Zhang Xiaolin's methods were very despicable, and he played the game of forcibly lowering prices.

Even, Zhang Xiaolin would rob with armed force if he disagreed.

In order to work better for the devils, he also took the opportunity to recruit soldiers and recruit disciples.

Zhang Xiaolin's activities of surrendering to the enemy caused great anxiety to the government.

Getting rid of Zhang Xiaolin became a top priority and a political task.

Those who do evil will eventually die.

In 1940, Zhang Xiaolin was assassinated by his personal bodyguard Lin Huaibu in Zhang's mansion.

It must be said that Zhang Xiaolin was cunning and had strong defensive forces around him.

The process of assassinating him was really full of twists and turns.

Like the assassination of other traitors, the planner and leader were Dai Li.

After receiving the order from Jiang Jieshi, Dai Li found Chen Gongshu, the hidden head of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission, and issued an order to kill Zhang Xiaolin.

In order to successfully complete the task, they also formulated a plan to kill traitors and set up an action group.

The leader of the action group was Chen Mo. After receiving the task, he planned two assassination operations.

Unfortunately, both operations failed and lost some elite soldiers.

There was no way, so Chen Mo went the other way and planned to incite Lin Huaibu to rebel.

Lin Huaibu was introduced by the driver Ah Si and was just a doorman at first.

After several assassination attempts, Zhang Xiaolin hoped to find some awesome bodyguards to protect himself.

With the help of Ah Si, Lin Huaibu got a chance to perform and was hired as a bodyguard with a large sum of money.

Through the introduction of the middleman, Chen Mo contacted Lin Huaibu.

Seeing 50,000 silver dollars and Chen Mo's popularization of national justice, Lin Huaibu nodded.

Naturally, taking advantage of being a personal bodyguard, Lin Huaibu found an opportunity and successfully killed Zhang Xiaolin.

…

Seeing Zhang Xiaolin hesitating and unwilling to express his position on whether to participate in the war of resistance, Du Yuesheng looked very bad.

However, thinking that Zhang Xiaolin was still his elder according to seniority and he was also a well-known big man, Du Yuesheng suppressed his anger and continued to persuade him in various ways.

Unfortunately, facing Du Yuesheng's earnest advice, Zhang Xiaolin remained unmoved.

Naturally, the two people parted unhappily during this meeting.

What neither of them knew was that at this moment, a world-renowned figure was approaching Shanghai.

This person was none other than Ye Tian!

Don't meddle in politics if you are not in your position.

Ye Tian was reluctant to give Jiang Jieshi too many opinions, especially about the personnel arrangements for the war of resistance.

He believed that doing so would easily cause Jiang Jieshi's disgust.

Of course, if other generals and officials knew about it, it would not be very good, and it would easily destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the war of resistance.

However, at the critical moment, Ye Tian would take the initiative to make various suggestions.

Shanghai was about to arrive, Ye Tian shook his head, threw away all kinds of complicated thoughts, and returned his attention to reality.

Ye Tian planned to meet Zhang Xiaolin before looking for Du Yuesheng.

In fact, when he just crossed over, Zhang Xiaolin was on Ye Tian's must-kill list.

However, because he was busy fighting the devils and traitors, Ye Tian had not been able to spare his hands.

This time is different.

Ye Tian planned to start tonight.

The most important thing is that Ye Tian planned to start work in Zhang Xiaolin's old nest.

Although he knew that Zhang Xiaolin was surrounded by masters and his defense was extremely strict, Ye Tian was full of confidence.

The Battle of Songhu was about to begin, killing Zhang Xiaolin and beheading the generals to sacrifice the flag!

To deter other traitors, or Chinese who want to be traitors, this is Ye Tian's idea.

Coming to Shanghai for the first time, Ye Tian was unfamiliar with the place, so he planned to learn about the terrain first, so as to better contribute to the war of resistance.

Shiliyangchang, that is, the embassy district.

After taking a luxury taxi and traveling around Shanghai, Ye Tian also came here.

Ye Tian came to this place not to play simply, but to implement an extremely important thing.
