    Chapter 345 Tianjin Port

    Tang Qiuli also didn¡¯t understand why this girl suddenly lost interest in her previous job, and even seemed to hate it.

    Tang Qiuli had no choice but to formally appoint Shen Jun as the director of the Investigation Division of the ** Division and concurrently as the director of the Inspection Division of the Pingjin Police Command. In fact, the personnel composing these two departments were all veterans of the ** Division.  , Shen Jun also acted as an agent for a while, so it seems logical to take over now.

    Shen Jun told Tang Qiuli an important situation. The intelligence system of Tianjin Port came with news that the Japanese transport fleet has been extremely active recently. Large fleets often docked at Tianjin Port. According to various signs,  These large freighters all come from Japan.

    Because the Tianjin Port is co-managed by multiple countries, China has no power to manage it. The Chinese government has no power to intervene in all affairs at the port. On its own land, it has no power to manage it. Tang Qiuli became angry just thinking about it.

    The trucks unloaded from the large freighters were all trucks covered with tarpaulins. Because the dock was under full martial law by the Japanese military police, ordinary people, especially the Chinese, could not get close to the dock. Shen Jun's intelligence system folded in two agents.  , to get a rough idea of ??things.

    This is a newly transferred unit from Japan to North China, with a strength of about 53,000. Shen Jun's situation aroused Tang Qiuli's high alert. According to the establishment of the Japanese army, these are two Japanese first-class divisions.  The Japanese base camp began to send more troops to North China.

    This is a new situation. It may be that Anichiro Tashiro, the commander of the Japanese garrison in North China, suffered heavy losses and lost troops and generals in many battles with Tang Qiuli, which made the situation in North China develop in a direction that is not conducive to the Japanese army.

    This situation caused extreme uneasiness in the Japanese base camp. According to the Japanese Army's vision, it steadily advanced from south to north and through several large-scale military decisive battles, gradually annihilated the effective military power of the Nationalist Government, and then achieved its occupation of the entire country.  China¡¯s ambitions.

    It is only a matter of time before more troops are sent to North China. No wonder the Japanese have been so quiet recently. The so-called "abnormality is a monster" is like a wild dog that always barks wildly. It suddenly stops barking, which makes people feel strange.

    This is just the beginning. The Japanese base camp will continue to mobilize troops from the mainland. When the highest authority of the Japanese army feels that their power has gained an absolute upper hand, the war between China and Japan will begin.

    Therefore, by closely monitoring the movements of the Japanese army, we can roughly determine when the Japanese army will take action in North China.

    Tang Qiuli ordered the intelligence systems of Shen Jun and Yu Deshui to find out the number, specific strength, and weapons and equipment of the troops transferred from Japan to North China at any cost. If necessary, they can activate the plan that Tang Qiuquan had laid earlier.  Wire.

    Tang Qiuli felt the murderous intent from the Japanese army's move to increase troops in North China. He felt anxious because the batch of Somi submachine guns and anti-aircraft weapons he ordered in the United States had not arrived yet. He did not have much time left.  Generous.

    The air defense force had just been formed, and what they lacked was advanced air defense weapons. The training of the troops was urgent. Therefore, even though it was not September yet, he couldn't help but send a telegram to Zhu Zixuan and Leidy in the United States to urge the arrival of the goods as soon as possible.

    After Mei Ting resigned from the post of director of the inspection division of the garrison headquarters, she had no official position and was young. She never thought of taking up the post of director of the political work division in the military division and devoted herself to the great cause of taking care of Mr. Tang.

    She kept Tang Qiuli's personal life in order. Her daily job was to take care of Tang Qiuli personally, and she never tired of it and did it with gusto. Although the two of them had not yet broken through the last bottom line, Mei Ting had already taken the position of Mr. Tang's pillow  identity, to ask for yourself.

    He immediately noticed something was wrong. For such a capable and talented woman to be a housewife, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of talent?  Tang Qiuli felt it was a pity and had no choice. Since the administrative work was too complicated, he appointed Mei Ting as the chief secretary of the newly established secretariat of the Pingjin Police Command.

    To Tang Qiuli's expectation, Mei Ting happily accepted this new position. Tang Qiuli had originally prepared a lot of rhetoric, but Mei Ting had her own considerations. As the chief secretary of the Pingjin Security Command, she was not allowed to talk to the security commander every day.  Come on, who is the security commander?  It's Tang Qiuli!

    This time during working hours, there were plenty of opportunities to get along with him. Mei Ting was so happy. She was afraid that Tang Qiuli would regret it, so she hurriedly agreed and took office the next day.

    Seeing the girl's overjoyed expression, Tang Qiuli instinctively felt that something was wrong. Mei Ting's working ability was beyond comparison, so Tang Qiuli used it quite smoothly, which also reduced his workload.

    "However, this girl comes to ask for instructions and report on her work too many times every day. Someone with good intentions carefully counted the number of times that Director Mei came to the division commander's office every day on average.The number reached an astonishing thirty or forty times.

    Tang Qiuli also reminded Mei Ting sideways that this girl looked confused and innocent, saying that she was the chief secretary of the garrison commander, and all the work of other secretaries was summarized to her, and she would be the one to ask for instructions, and she would always have something to do.  After handling it, I was still so tired that my legs and feet were sore!

    Having said that, he rubbed his feet, and his face was painful, making Tang Qiu's speechlessness. Looking at the girl's face proudly, he felt very scratching his head and had a feeling of cocooning.

    One day at the end of August, Mei Ting hurried to Tang Qiuli's office and delivered an urgent telegram. It turned out to be the first batch of equipment shipped from the United States and was about to arrive at the Tianjin port. Qiu Li was asked to be prepared to accept it.  , signed by Zhu Zixuan.

    Tang Qiuli walked around the office several times with great excitement, and told Mei Ting to immediately summon the division chiefs of the Pingjin Security Command to hold a meeting immediately to discuss matters related to receiving equipment.

    There is a problem that needs to be solved immediately. The U.S. ships are large cargo ships. There is another terminal not far from the multinational terminal. It is managed by the Tianjin Municipal Government and does not have to deal with foreign powers. However, the berth of this terminal is too small.  It is impossible to stop a large cargo ship with a capacity of tens of thousands of tons.

    Bad luck at sea?  Not only was it labor-intensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, there was no way to guarantee safety. The Japanese warships were showing off their power off the coast of Tanggu and had a reasonable collision. Tang Qiuli's hard work had not yet sunk to the bottom of the sea, where he could not find a place to cry.

    The various division chiefs of the Security Command had no good solution, especially now that Japanese freighters were coming and going every day and occupying the docks. All the powers knew that the relationship between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese was quite bad.  Who is willing to stand up, talk small talk, smile, and argue with the Japanese who are very arrogant and unreasonable now?

    Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered that when he first came to Tianjin, he had contact with the German Consul General in Tianjin, Von Hoffmann. Both parties had a good impression, and Von Hoffman even invited him to his home.

    I also gave von Hoffmann a Chinese antique. Although it was a fake, it was still a work of art, right?  Now, von Hoffmann is still serving as the consul general in Tianjin. With this relationship, things will be easier to handle.

    The next day, Tang Qiuli took Mei Ting and Shan Hu and drove to Tianjin.

    When he met Consul General von Hoffmann, the old German man was very surprised. He had a very deep and good impression of Tang Qiuli, and felt that he was different from all the Chinese people he knew.

    Seeing Mei Ting next to Tang Qiuli, he was obviously stunned. He was very impressed by Xiaoling and thought she was the most beautiful and elegant Chinese girl he had ever seen.

    The old man was outspoken and asked directly: "Tang, why didn't Miss Zhang Xiaoling, who came with you last time, come? My wife misses her very much!"

    Tang Qiuli felt a pain in his heart. All the past events in Tianjin came to mind. The dance of life that night, the so-called seeing things and missing people, the imitation antique that he and Xiaoling gave to Hoffman was still placed on the  In a conspicuous position, however, the beloved one has gone far away, and there are still his own flesh and blood.

    Tang Qiuli's face turned pale instantly. The delicate Mei Ting quietly held his hand and found that Tang Qiuli's hand was cold and damp, and was trembling slightly.

    Feng Hoffman saw Tang Qiuli's sudden change of expression and felt that he was a little abrupt, especially when there was a girl who came with Tang Qiuli, whose appearance and temperament were comparable to Xiaoling. Look at the two of them.  The intimate look, obviously the relationship is unusual.

    Just as he was about to apologize, Tang Qiuli obviously didn't want to bring up the past. He took a deep breath, regained his emotional stability, waved his hand to Hoffman, and just told him: "Mr. Hoffman, my fianc¨¦e Miss Zhang  , was killed by the Japanese when he was in Northeast China. I took the liberty to visit him today because it was also related to the Japanese. "

    "This is my lover, Miss Mei Ting, and this is Mr. von Hoffmann, the German Consul General in Tianjin, who is also an old friend of mine." He introduced Mei Ting to Hoffman, obviously not wanting to embarrass Mei Ting.  It also let Hoffman know Mei Ting's current identity and her relationship with him.

    Von Hoffmann was stunned for a moment, with a very regretful look on his face, followed by anger and hatred. The proud personality of the Germanic people made him full of contempt for the nouveau riche Japanese. His beautiful impression of Xiaoling made him  He was very sorry that the girl who was as beautiful as a flower was killed by the Japanese, which made him full of hatred for the Japanese who destroyed beautiful lives.

    Tang Qiu left the door straight to the point and told Hoffman his purpose. The old German man was very cheerful and immediately agreed to help.

    He gave Tang Qiuli another idea. Since the cargo ship came from the United States, the United States also had the right to unload cargo at this port. He suggested that he immediately go to the U.S. Consul General in Tianjin.

      Tang Qiuli, accompanied by Hoffman, came to the U.S. Consulate. After explaining the situation, the U.S. Consul General thought about it and thought that what Tang Qiuli said was very reasonable. Many countries co-managed the Tanggu Pier. Why should the Japanese have to do it alone?  Occupied?

    In fact, the great powers in Tianjin don¡¯t have a good impression of the Japanese who look like a nouveau riche. It¡¯s just that there is no conflict of fundamental interests and they don¡¯t care.

    Now, it was a matter of national dignity for the United States, so of course he had to speak. Finally, it was agreed that he and Consul General von Hoffman would come forward to apply for a berth to the Multinational Port Management Committee. It was necessary for American cargo ships to be able to unload at the Tanggu Terminal.

    After saying goodbye to Feng Hoffman, it was already evening. Because he had to pick up goods every day, Tang Qiuli decided to stay in Tianjin for one night.

    The hotel she chose happened to be the Bohai Hotel. As soon as she entered the hotel, Mei Ting felt that Tang Qiuli's mood was fluctuating and strange.
