Chapter 1719 A General Who Was Afraid of Death
Ma Fugui rushed into the living room and reported:
"Lord Chu! A telegram from the front lines."
Xiang Chu took the telegram and frowned as he read it.
Kong Ling asked, "Dad! What's wrong?"
Xiang Chu handed her the telegram and said with a wry smile, "There are still spies in the Military Intelligence Bureau's frontline special agents team. If Ye Ying hadn't had the list, we would definitely be in grave danger."
Kong Ling said bitterly, "That Dai Nong is indeed up to no good. Father! Go to the front line and don't have any contact with this unit. Also, have Ye Ying arrest all these spies and execute them all."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need! Since I don't show myself, these spies can't carry out an assassination."
Ning Caiwei suggested, "Then let them go to the front lines and fight the Japanese to the death."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! With the country in crisis, we should make them point their guns at the Japanese and do the right thing."
Kong Ling sighed, "Alas! I was so eager to go to the front lines to fight the Japanese, but who knew I'd have to face the guns of my own people first."
Xiang Chu knew that her heart was beginning to waver and that she no longer had such a strong desire to go to the front lines, so he smiled and said, "Come on! Let's go down together to watch our daughter's performance and encourage her."
After saying this, he took Kong Ling and Ning Caiwei's hands and walked out of the living room.
Cheqiao Town, southeast of Huai'an, Jiangsu Province.
Japanese and puppet troops swept through the area around Cheqiao, and the National Revolutionary Army under Han Deqin was routed.
Cheqiao fell into the clutches of the Japanese invaders, and hundreds of compatriots suffered greatly.
In Cheqiao Town, a temporary stronghold of the Shanghai Special Higher Police.
Aoki Renga gathered elite agents from the Special Higher Police and held an awards ceremony.
She picked up a medal and handed it to Kawashima Yoshiyuki, praising her, "Miss Yoshiyuki! You deserve great credit for this great victory. This medal is awarded to you in the hope that you will continue to serve the Empire."
Yoshiyuki Kawashima accepted the medal and said excitedly, "Your subordinate is willing to die for the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'!"
Aoki Renga distributed rewards to the other meritorious individuals, instructing them as follows:
"Gentlemen! Cheqiao is a military stronghold, guarding the vital transportation route between Jiangsu, Shandong and Anhui provinces, which is equivalent to holding the New Fourth Army of China by the throat. To secure this town, Miss Fangzhi, you should lead the remaining personnel to cooperate with the garrison and forcibly conscript Chinese laborers to build fortifications, trenches and other defensive works."
"Hello!"
Kawashima Yoshizhi bowed and accepted the order.
The meeting ended, and the agents left.
Mako bowed and said, "Section Chief! Shouldn't we head back to Shanghai now?"
Aoki Lotus stroked her lower abdomen and nodded, saying, "Yes! This sect leader can no longer travel outside, otherwise my child with the Shadow Master might not survive."
That despicable director of the film bureau was bewitched by a Chinese woman in Chongqing and went to great lengths to curry favor with the Chinese high command, clearly intending to surrender and become a Chinese son-in-law. What a traitor!
Mako Awei reassured him, "Section Chief! Those are just rumors. Chief Shadow would never betray the Empire."
Aoki Renka shook her head and said, "No! Before 'Uncle' sends back any news, these rumors are true. If Chief Ruoying betrays us, I don't want this child either."
Mako Awei exclaimed anxiously, "No! Your child will be so beautiful. Sigh! I don't know when my Chiyo-kun will return to Shanghai. I want to have a child like you."
Aoki Renka pointed to the radio and said, "Send a telegram in my name to the director of the film studio, asking him to transfer Chiyo Chire back to Shanghai."
Mako Awei said excitedly, "Thank you, Section Chief!"
At this time, the radio transmission sounded.
Mako Aoi hurriedly copied and translated the telegram, and said happily:
"Section Chief! 'Old Uncle' called. The director of the Film Bureau sent his men to Chongqing to distribute leaflets, disrupt public order, and incite unrest, trying to make the Chinese government give up resistance. There was no betrayal at all."
Aoki Renka stood up happily, smiling broadly, and said, "Yes! That's more like the father of my child. Mako! Let's leave Cheqiao and head back to Shanghai immediately."
"Hello!"
Mako bowed and accepted the order.
Chongqing, Chaotianmen Wharf.
VIP cabins on the troop transport ship "Shunfeng".
Xiang Chu and Yu Xiaowan moved in before dawn.
Yu Xiaowan asked with a smile, "Brother Chu! Why isn't Kong Ling here again?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Sixty thousand and seventy thousand are such small sums, how could she possibly be willing to spend them?"
Yu Xiaowan nodded and said, "That's right! Besides, if she goes to the front line, you won't be able to hide anymore."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! She attracts attention wherever she goes, while I'm like a ghost."
Yu Xiaowan opened the porthole and said with a smile, "The sun is out, let's see how Uncle Liu performs."
Ma Fugui arrived at the door and reported, "Lord Chu! Aoki Lotus called, asking you to transfer Chiyo Chire back to Shanghai so that the couple can reunite."
Xiang Chu asked in confusion, "When did Qingmu Lianhua start to show consideration for her subordinates?"
Yu Xiaowan said, somewhat annoyed, "Women naturally need to be gentler when they are pregnant."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Fu Gui! Reply that you agree, and then send a telegram to Zheng Zhili, asking him to return to Shanghai from Southeast Asia."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.
The sun shines brightly on the earth, and Chaotianmen Wharf begins to bustle.
The dock was bustling with noise and a mixed crowd.
It contains not only reporters, but also a large number of agents and spies.
A convoy of cars is parked on the platform above the dock.
Liu Zhengxiong, dressed in Xiang Chu's general's uniform, stepped out of the car.
Surrounded by Xiao Liu and other heavily armed guards, he walked down the steps.
His military uniform didn't fit him properly; it looked like it was tied to his body.
Yu Xiaowan saw it from afar, covered her mouth and laughed, "Uncle Liu is so adorably silly, why doesn't he wear his own military uniform with the rank of general?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "What a stubborn person. Am I that fat? It's obviously full of holes, with so many reporters watching."
Yu Xiaowan said thoughtfully, "But Uncle Liu must have a reason for dressing like this."
At this moment, a reporter stepped forward and asked loudly, "General, may I ask your name?"
Liu Zhengxiong answered as he walked, "Chu Xi!"
The reporter pressed further, "Why are your clothes so ill-fitting?"
Liu Zhengxiong said, annoyed, "Is that even a question? I'm wearing a bulletproof vest inside!"
Someone sneered in a low voice: "Ha! A cowardly general."
Liu Zhengxiong ordered, "Chief of the Guards! Drive away anyone who is obstructing my boarding."
"Yes!"
Xiaoliu hurriedly took the order.
He led Wang Zizai and others, forcefully driving away the people on the dock, shouting loudly:
"A bunch of idlers! They're not going to the front lines to fight the Japanese, so get out of my way."
Such recklessness left the people angry but unable to speak out.
Reporters hurriedly took photos, recording this disgraceful chapter in Chu Xi's life.
The agents and spies kept a close eye on Liu Zhengxiong, feeling that he was an imposter.
Liu Zhengxiong boarded the ship, entered the VIP cabin, unbuttoned his top button, and shook his head, saying:
"These clothes are too tight, they're not fit for a human."
Yu Xiaowan scolded, "Uncle Liu! Can't you just wear your own military uniform and put on Brother Chu's general's rank?"
Liu Zhengxiong said, annoyed, "Didn't your husband say that you shouldn't act too convincingly?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! That's exactly what I said, but can't you be a little more flexible?"
"will not!"
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head.
"Stop idlers!"
Xiao Liu's stern shout rang out in the corridor outside the cabin.
A man pleaded, "Sir! I would like to ask Lord Chu to sign his name for me."
