Chapter 799: The Island
Chapter 799: Tongyou Island
In Wuzhong, Suzhou, a small fishing village and Shuqiao Village are on the edge of Taihu Lake.
Hattori Kazumi led the special attack team to secretly enter here for a week. There is a ferry crossing and a Japanese inland patrol team stationed.
Hattori Kazuno was garrisoned here as an ordinary Japanese army.
Subsequently, a small team of Japanese troops was transferred from the Japanese Hegang Squadron, and together with the recruited local puppet troops and guides, the small Shuqiao Ferry concentrated an armed force of nearly 200 people.
For this action, Ichino Hatto made sufficient preparations. Although he was a little stubborn, he was not lacking in his mind. Otherwise, he would not stand out in the Hattori family and even let him lead this elite ninja team.
Finally everything is ready and we are about to start taking action.
Hattori Kazuno decided to hold a meeting to deploy an action plan.
"Everyone, after these days of reconnaissance, we have determined that the enemy we are tracking is hiding on this nameless island." A man from Hattori pointed to a small black dot in the middle of the large waters on the map and said, "They are not many, about forty or fifty people, but they are well-equipped and have extremely high tactical literacy..."
"Prepare to set off!"
"Hayi!"
The Hattori special attack team and a small team of Japanese troops, all boarded two motorboats, and the remaining security forces boarded seven or eight fishing boats.
After nightfall, under the guidance of the guide, we set out from the ferry and entered the vast Taihu Lake.
It was Mid-Autumn Festival now, the night was cold and the dew was heavy, and the breeze on the lake surface made people unable to help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts.
Didi...
Not long after Hattori led the large army, a radio wave was transmitted to Tongyou Island dozens of kilometers away in a certain family.
"Second brother, we're finally here." The correspondent took the telegram and knocked on Ding Pengfei's door, and a dizzy light shone out from it.
"I inform the third brother and the monk, hurry up and sleep for me and accumulate energy. I guess they will attack before dawn." Ding Pengfei took the message and came to see it.
"Second brother, do you want to send a telegram to the fifth brother?"
"No, let's talk about it after the war." Ding Pengfei thought intently for a while, shook his head and said, "He knew that even if the telegram was sent back, Guo Hanjie could not notify Lu Xiyan. All of this telegram would not be a big problem.
It is definitely not possible to sail at night without a guide. Even if it is daytime, it enters the vast Taihu Lake, and without a local guide, the Japanese dare not enter easily.
You should know that the water bandits on Taihu Lake are also quite powerful. Unless the army encircles and suppresses them, there are fewer people, and there are no enough people to see.
Asano Ichiro also arrived in Suzhou, but he did not meet with Kazuno Hatto. What he cared about was the hiding place of the "military advisor".
I took people to secretly wander around the Huqiu area for several days, but I got nothing.
No one informed Hattori Ichiro's actions tonight, and only sent a telegram to Ichiro Asano. After receiving the telegram, Ichiro was naturally overjoyed and took a car to Kikubashi Village overnight, preparing to celebrate Hattori Ichiro's triumphant return at the Ferry Quarter the next day.
At this moment, at the French Concession, Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing were having a banquet for Zhou Fuhai and Yang Shuhui.
Zhou Fuhai is very low-key in Shanghai. Except for some activities and banquets that cannot be rejected by Japanese people, he generally does not attend private banquets that are not part of the Wang clan.
Especially, I left my safe residence and came to the French Concession for dinner.
In his opinion, this was already giving Lu Xiyan face.
It was Shanghai Changjiang Xiao'an, Wen Zongrao and others who wanted to invite him to dinner, but he might not have time to go there. Lu Xiyan asked Meng Fanxing to make a phone call, not even a formal invitation. This was the first time he had arrived.
Meng Hao had already returned home. Lu Xiyan didn't expect Zhou Fohai to come, but he still notified Oberman of the French Guild Hall to make preparations.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Fuhai actually came over, and he didn't bring too many bodyguards. He only had two cars, including everyone's drivers, with less than ten people.
"Mr. Zhou, although we are neighbors in Hong Kong, we are desperate for a while. We finally met today. Please!" Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing personally went to the door to greet us.
Of course, this is naturally not the main entrance. The main entrance is too lively, and Zhou Fuhai himself is unwilling to appear in public. This is the side door where the VIP walked.
Lu Xiyan had ordered Oberman to clear the scene in advance, and he didn't want others to see him entertaining Zhou Fuhai and his wife here tonight.
"Dr. Lu is polite, please." Zhou Fuhai said with a black silk jacket, a round face, wearing a pair of round black-framed glasses, a back, waxed hair, and combed meticulously.
I was wearing a pair of Italian black leather shoes, combining Chinese and Western styles. If I didn’t know, I thought it was an old man from a countryside.
Yang Shuhui is much more fashionable. She has a floral double-breasted skirt, a wavy curl, bright lipstick, thick eyebrows, a gold bracelet on her right wrist, and a GERINA brand women's watch on her left wrist, and a nouveau riche's temperament hit her face.
In comparison, Meng Fanxing wore a water-blue professional suit, which looked capable and free and easy, and did not wear any jewelry. In addition to the wedding ring on his hand, all he could see was a butterfly brooch on his chest and two pearl earrings.
This comparison is a bit like a verdict. However, Meng Fanxing and Yang Shuhui have known each other for a long time and have been used to seeing each other. Even if they are jealous, they are not that big.
This is the first time Zhou Fuhai saw Meng Fanxing. He couldn't pull it out at first sight. Such a beautiful and capable young woman, and full of intellectuality, is a fatal temptation for men.
"Cough!" Seeing her husband's appearance, Yang Shuhui couldn't understand what was going on, so she couldn't help but remind her with her elbow.
"Hello, Mrs. Lu." Zhou Fuhai also knew that he had lost his composure and quickly withdrew his eyes.
"Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, please come in." Lu Xiyan saw it and made a gesture of giving without hesitation.
In the VIP room, four people sat down separately. Lu Xiyan asked Zhou Fuhai to sit in the main seat. He sat in the lower head, Yang Shuhui next to Zhou Fuhai, and then Meng Fanxing.
"Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, we used to be neighbors and friends, and now we are all in Shanghai. We haven't found a time to gather together. It's Xiyan's fault." Lu Xiyan first opened his remarks and defined the invitation to the evening as a small gathering for a friend in Shanghai.
"Dr. Lu is polite. Mrs. Lu is my son Xiaohai's life-saving benefactor. This meal should be treated to by our husband and wife." Zhou Fuhai nodded politely.
People are very realistic. If Meng Hao had not walked out of the 76th today, it would be hard to say whether Lu Xiyan would regard tonight's banquet as a walk and gathering between neighbors or friends who had been short in the past.
The initiative has been taken back by others. At least, Zhou Fuhai can't find a better excuse to threaten Lu Xiyan's support for Wang Zhaoming's peace movement and the new government.
"Mr. Zhou, I suggest having a drink for our reunion again!"
Four wine glasses clinked together.
"I heard from Mrs. Zhou that you sent Xiaohai to Japan to study?" Lu Xiyan asked, "During those days in Hong Kong, Xiaohai often came to her home. Meimei liked this child very much. She was smart and could learn everything."
Praise children in front of their parents, and all parents will have a sense of honor, and any parent who wants their children to become successful is the same.
Lu Xiyan took the initiative to talk about Zhou Xiaohai, and Zhou Fuhai and his wife were naturally very happy, and this was also a very good topic to start.
If he aside from political views and character, Zhou Fuhai is still quite insightful and talkative. In many aspects, he also has his own opinions and ideas.
There were not many dishes for dinner, but they were all very delicate and the taste was very good. It can be seen that the host did not deliberately neglect the guests just because the matter had been resolved.
This wine has been three rounds and the dishes have been five flavors.
Lu Xiyan didn't mention some of these words, and Zhou Fuhai didn't plan to miss this rare opportunity.
"Dr. Lu, Brother Yu, how old are you? It's not too much to call you Brother Xiyan, right?" Zhou Fuhai put down his chopsticks, picked up the towel at his hand and wiped his lips.
"Of course." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"I know you have many industries in the concession, and even open branches in Hong Kong, Hanoi and other places. You have strong financial resources and are a role model for young people. At the same time, you are also a doctor who saves the world and has a compassion for the world. It is said that your hands have the magic of the 'hand of God'. How many seriously ill patients can be resurrected when they come to your hands. Brother Yu admires you very much." Zhou Fuhai praised Lu Xiyan very much.
"Brother Fu Hai, what do you mean by saying it clearly?"
"Okay, then I'll say, have you ever considered going to politics?" Zhou Fuhai asked.
"In politics, Brother Fuhai, you're going to be my army." Lu Xiyan smiled, "I'm really not interested in politics at all. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have sent me abroad to study medicine. Besides, my ideal is to save the world and save people, and the rest are all included."
"Oh?" Zhou Fuhai was a little surprised.
"Mr. Zhou, this is true for our family Xiyan. He founded Meng'an Company and researched new drugs in order to save people and benefit the people." Meng Fanxing echoed.
"Miss Fanxing, you can't say that. It's not a conflict between curing diseases and saving people and pursuing politics." Yang Shuhui said.
"That will inevitably take a lot of energy."
"Well, this is true, but if you don't have an identity, many things will not be so easy to deal with." Zhou Fuhai said.
"Some situations are also unsuccessful."
"No wonder..."
"I don't hide it from Brother Xiyan and Sister-in-law. Mr. Wang wants to form a new peaceful government, hoping to get young talents like Brother Xiyan to join." Zhou Fuhai said.
"Brother Fuhai, it's not that I don't give you face. I definitely can't be an official. I know nothing about the trick in the officialdom. Besides, I understand what this so-called peaceful government does, so you can understand your kindness." Lu Xiyan declined.
"The world has many misunderstandings about Mr. Wang's policy of saving the country peacefully. In fact, Mr. Wang just doesn't want more people to sacrifice themselves, endure temporary humiliation, wait for the opportunity to strive for self-improvement." Zhou Fuhai said.
"I respect Mr. Wang, but I still don't agree with his ideas and actions." Lu Xiyan shook his head.
"So, Brother Xiyan does not agree with Mr. Wang's peace initiative?"
"Of course I hope that China and Japan can coexist peacefully, which will benefit the people of both countries." Lu Xiyan's answer was ambiguous, and he directly expressed his objections, otherwise, he would not leave room for anything.
"Fuhai, you are not separated from your own business by these three words. Dr. Lu is a doctor, but he is not an opinion leader?" Yang Shuhui reminded.
Zhou Fuhai looked embarrassed. He also knew that Lu Xiyan never expressed his political stance on any occasion, but such a person is the most inconspicuous. If he didn't ask clearly, he would not dare to pull him in.
