Blumberg wore a field uniform of the Field Marshal today, with a full set of medals on his chest, holding the marshal's staff, and his riding boots were polished brightly. The main members of the special mission took the motor boat on the [Prince Eugen], and the entourage took the transportation boat provided by the public concession. Amid the tumultuous performance of the military band of the International Business Corps, the group was about to be on the barge opposite the Central Bank Building Landing at the pier.

The public concession is right next to the pier, and a wooden viewing platform is erected directly opposite Nanjing Road. A large number of flowers and trees were placed on both sides of the aisle as decoration. The concession flag, British, French and German flags were hung in the middle of the platform, and the national flags of other overseas Chinese in the concession were listed on both sides.

The consul generals of Britain, France and the United States in Shanghai and all the board members of the Ministry of Industry and the Public Board of Directors, plus a group of diplomatic envoys in the concession and rich Chinese and foreign gentry, are all people with identities and backgrounds in Shanghai. At this moment These people all gathered around the stage eagerly, waiting for the arrival of the German envoy.

The stage was surrounded by a circle of Chinese and foreign media reporters stationed in Shanghai. The reporters at the time did not have the photographic equipment of later generations like long guns and short cannons. A Zeiss news machine was already considered a professional, especially The local newspaper office in Shanghai directly erected a large camera using a glass film and held up a flashlight filled with magnesium powder. These ground snakes are always somewhat convenient and have occupied favorable terrain early.

The German news team, who arrived in Shanghai by special plane from Hong Kong in advance, looked out of the ordinary here. Not only were they big, they also used equipment far beyond their peers. They brought three movie cameras, and Bringing a live recording system using the most advanced wire tape recorder, plus the commander's red ground and black eagle armbands on their sleeves, turned them into the subjects of their peers competing to shoot.

Speaking of steel wire tape recorders, Germany actually invented audio tapes four years ago, but it was troubled by material problems. Before the development of new plastics, it was temporarily unable to enter commercial production.

The major domestic media in Japan also sent the strongest interview lineup at the time. The Japanese news industry was actually close to the advanced level of the West. Although the internal organization structure was somewhat primitive and the interview methods were relatively simple, The investment in equipment and technology is not weaker than that of any Western media newspaper.

In addition to the paper media such as [Daily], [Asahi], and [Yomiuri], there is also a news film crew sent by [Toho]. They brought two film cameras and prepared to record the whole process. Activities of the next special mission during their visit to Japan.

For the current Japanese citizens, every move of the German envoy is full of attraction. Especially now that the land warfare is gradually stalemate, the domestic economy is beginning to fall into recession, and the entire Great Japanese Empire needs to inject a booster to gain the favor and friendship of the world's number one power Germany, which will surely inspire the Yamato nation. Morale.

But what embarrassed the Japanese is that this time the itinerary of Germany's visit to Shanghai was too hasty and did not leave enough time for Japan to prepare, and Japan failed to gain control of the concession in China, so most of the limelight , Was snatched by the management departments of the two concessions, and now the theme of the entire visit has changed. At this moment, no one would think that this was a visit by a German envoy to the Shanghai-controlled area of ​​Japan, because it was just like this scene. In terms of how you look at it, all walks of life in the Shanghai concession are warmly welcoming the visiting German missions.

The arrogance refers to this situation. Matsuoka's nose is almost crooked, but even if he is the foreign minister of a country, he is only a Japanese official in the concession, just like a special mission. Belongs to the guest status, not the owner of this land.

So the Japanese Foreign Minister and a bunch of diplomatic officials' consular secretaries, as well as the Japanese overseas Chinese business and military circles and the Wang puppet traitors, can only wait in the area designated for the Japanese. Because the Japanese army could not enter the concession, for the safety of these Japanese, the public concession dispatched nearly two hundred Indian patrols and stood in a circle around the Japanese.

The Sikh patrol with an average height of 1.8 meters, also known as the red-headed Asan in Shanghai, standing next to a Japanese with an average height of only 1.6 meters is a naked irony. The precious little face is white.

The Japanese did not expect that the Ministry of Industry and Technology would dare to play this game with themselves in person. When did the British's waist become so hard? Although the British and the Germans signed a friendship treaty, the Germans would really do this Have you been against your old enemy for half a century?

Matsuoka was very skeptical about this. After he decided to meet with the German mission, he must take time to discuss the Shanghai concession. The Ministry of Industry is no longer suitable for managing this land. Germany and Japan should take over these bastards. If Germany feels that the distance is too far inconvenient, Japan can fully assume this responsibility. Germany only needs to sit back and enjoy the benefits in China.

After cheering himself up again and again, Matsuoka finally suppressed the sulky breath in his heart.

But apparently the British were not going to let the Japanese foreign minister just like that. Amidst the sound of neat steps, a phalanx of heavily armed British infantry walked along the Bund road, waving their arms.

Although these Malay garrisons have very good combat power, they are of first-class level when they walk in the queue. What the British Army is best at in Malaysia is the military parade. The neat queue and military capacity can always remind those who are not doing their duty. , Don’t forget the prestigious name of the lobster soldiers.

This batch of British troops received new equipment shipped from the country just before they set off. In fact, the original rifles are also very useful. Anyway, they can’t shoot a few bullets a year, but after the outbreak of the European war, the troops carried out After several months of intensive training, the rifling was only slightly worn out. However, the replacement of equipment means a large sum of oil and water. Of course, the officers will not refuse. The replaced weapons are used as scrap guns, and they are sold to German arms dealers after adding 20% ​​of the profit. As for who will end up in the hands of 20,000 rifles, the British Empire has no time to care.

A group of soldiers of the British Empire, carrying rifles, walked majesticly on the streets of the Bund in Shanghai. The rice-shaped flag was displayed and the bagpipes fluttered, giving the imperial atmosphere of the sun never set.

The Japanese are a little confused about the way, and the British are stationed in Shanghai again. Obviously, London has changed its attitude toward China and Japan. This is something that must be paid attention to and should be reported to Tokyo immediately.

Of course the British won’t hurl all of the infantry regiments. It would take too long to get down. It’s okay to steal the limelight from the Japanese. If you steal the limelight from the Germans, it’s self-defeating, so the British regiment The leader only sent three companies of phalanx to walk through the cutscene, and then assembled on the right side of the stage to cheer for the British Director General of the Ministry of Industry and the Consul General of the British Empire Mr. George.

While the Japanese were still wondering how to write the report, the next wave of infantry phalanx arrived again, and this time it was the French foreign corps' turn to make an appearance.

These people are different from those British parallel imports~IndoMTL.com~ All of them are real desperadoes, fighting for France for money/honor and green cards. These infantrymen have fought hand-to-hand with Moroccan horse thieves in the desert, and they have also encircled local smugglers in the jungles of Laos. It can be said that even the cooks have several lives in the hands of these people, and they are the most tenacious armed force in the French army.

The French sent a foreign infantry regiment to Shanghai because they really wanted to match up with others. The Wang Puppet, the government and Japanese agents in the French Concession made the French Consul General Aoqi a little crazy, but suffered from lack of hands. Can have sufficient deterrent force.

France has two battalions in Shanghai, the so-called "Chinese dispatched army", usually training is loose, the top down has long been corroded by the lights of Shanghai Beach, and there is also a so-called colonial mixed second battalion. Most of them are Annan soldiers hired from French Indochina. They usually perform very loyally. They can be regarded as models of outstanding lackeys, but if you want them to go to war with others, think about it, don't be too reluctant.

Looking at the murderous foreign troops and four s-35 tanks painted with camouflage paint, Consul Aoqi has already begun to plan, should he find a reason, and even let him take out a pot Upset secret service. Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun, who were standing in the Wang Puppet team, both felt a sudden chill on their backs.

Following the Frenchman, it was the German Waffen-SS, the protagonist of the finale. But before they appeared on the stage, Marshal Blumberg took a step ahead and, surrounded by a group of guards and patrols, moved forward. Step came to the viewing platform.

ps: I caught up. I might have caught a cold when I went home at night. Now I have some fever. I took medicine and took a rest.
