At the same time, the U.S. Embassy in Shanghai.
Zhong Yi was playing mahjong with Kang Mude, Li Qimo and Joseph McNair.
Before midnight, the chips in front of Zhong Yi had piled up into a mountain.
??A conservative estimate is that Zhong Yi will win at least tens of thousands of pounds again tonight.
"No fight, shit." Li Qimo finally couldn't bear it any longer. After lighting another cannon for Zhong Yi, he pushed the mahjong tiles forward, stood up and said, "I'm hungry." , I want to have a midnight snack."
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "It's not easy to have late-night snacks. I'll just give them a call and have them delivered."
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "But I'm afraid this mahjong game will have to continue. You promised it!"
"Oh God." Li Qimo made a cross on his chest and began to beg for mercy, "Dear Zhong, please spare me. I also want to save some pension money to return to the UK for retirement."
While he was talking, Joseph Mathew's secretary suddenly walked in.
Like Commodus, Matheus also served as the French minister in Shanghai.
As soon as Joseph Mathew's secretary came in, he didn't care that there were other people here and said urgently: "Your Excellency, Minister, there were large-scale riots on Dumei Road, Xujiahui Road and Father Jin Road at the same time, with tens of thousands of saboteurs. Robbery and murder are ongoing, and so far at least hundreds of French expatriates have been harmed to varying degrees!"
"What?!" Joseph was shocked and jumped up.
There were large-scale riots in the three most prosperous commercial streets in the French Concession?
There are tens of thousands of saboteurs robbing and killing people in the French Concession?
¡°Order the garrison to dispatch immediately to suppress the riot!¡± Joseph Mays¡¯ first reaction was to suppress.
The French government has troops stationed in the French Concession, although they are not large, with only one battalion.
But the next moment, Joseph Mathew immediately realized that in the face of a large-scale riot of tens of thousands of people, a mere battalion of troops might not be able to suppress it!
At that moment, Joseph Mathew said: "Oh no, order the garrison to protect the French nationals as much as possible! At the same time, call all French nationals in the French Concession and tell them to stay at home!"
"Mr. Minister, the phone cannot be reached!" the secretary said.
Joseph Mathew rushed over and grabbed the phone in the living room of the American Embassy.
However, when I shook the handle, there was always a blind tone on the other end of the phone.
Commodus spread his hands and said: "At this time, the phone will definitely not get through."
It is already early in the morning, and there are not many operators on duty at the telephone office. With such a big change happening in the French Concession, the number of people calling has increased sharply, which will definitely cause line congestion.
"Zhong, I'm afraid it's really impossible to play mahjong." Joseph Mathew shrugged at Zhong Yi, then turned and left.
Li Qimo said: "Zhong, I'm afraid I have to go back to the embassy. Let's play again next time."
After saying that, Li Qimo also hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Of the three, Commodus was the easiest.
Because there are not many American citizens in Shanghai, and most of them are concentrated in the public concessions.
At that moment, Commodus said to Zhong Yi: "Zhong, would you like a cup of coffee?"
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I have to go to the Sassoon Building."
"Sassoon Building?" Commodus said in surprise, "During the day, you had already declined Sir Sassoon's invitation, and now you come to visit me, wouldn't it be a bargain?"
During the day, Sassoon sent his personal butler to the American Embassy and sent a formal invitation to Zhong Yi, asking Zhong Yi to be his personal bodyguard.
Of course, Sassoon invited George Will.
However, Zhong Yi politely declined.
Zhong Yi shook his head and said: "My men are all in the Sassoon Building!"
"Oh, really?" Commodus asked again, "Do you want me to accompany you there?"
"That's good." Zhong Yi didn't refuse, "I'll just take your car there, it'll be faster."
Immediately, the two of them went out, got into Commodus' Ford car, and went straight to the Sassoon Building on the Bund.
The location of the U.S. Embassy is actually not that far from the Sassoon Building. It only takes ten minutes to drive there.
Then when Zhong Yi got out of the car, he ran into special forces members headed by An Zhenyuan pouring out of the building.
"Xiao Anzi?" Zhong Yi said, "Where are you going?"
"Mayor!" An Zhenyuan raised his hand in salute and said, "I heard that there was a riot on Dumei Road. We are going to go back and have a look."
"No!" Zhong Yi said flatly, "The riots on Dumei Road are very serious. I don't know what the situation is now. It's too dangerous for you to go back. Stay in the Sassoon Building!"
An Zhenyuan, Xu Chao and others looked at each other in shock. Is it too dangerous?
Mayor, we soldiers are still afraid of danger? Where is this going?
But Zhong Yi is really worried about the safety of the special forces members. No matter how skilled they are, they are still just flesh and blood. Facing a large-scale riot of tens of thousands of people, and the saboteurs still have guns in their hands, they are just flesh and blood. More than a hundred special forces members really can't handle it. If there are any more casualties, it will be a big loss.
You know, special operations team members are precious little ones.
At that moment, Zhong Yi continued: "I will stay at the Sassoon Building tonight. Xiao Anzi, you go and check in immediately."
Sassoon Building is a comprehensive building with business premises on the first floor, a grand ballroom on the second floor, a hotel on the third floor and above, and Sassoon's private residence on the top and second floors.
¡¡
On the top floor.
Ordinary people would have been asleep by this time, but Sassoon had just gotten up and was taking a bath.
Sassoon stood up from the hot bathtub, and the French mistress who was waiting beside him quickly handed over a white bathrobe.
Sassoon wrapped himself in a bathrobe and took the cigar from the Jewish mistress. After taking two puffs, he handed the cigar to the British mistress, and then took a glass of red wine from the Belarusian mistress.
No doubt, Sassoon had dozens of mistresses of different skin colors and nationalities.
What¡¯s more, what makes men all over the world envious is that Sassoon¡¯s mistresses all live with him.
Taking a sip of red wine, Sassoon asked the old butler David who was standing on the side: "David, is there any news today?"
"Today there was a lot of commotion in Hongkou and Yangshupu during the day, and then in the evening, I heard that the head of the Mei Agency, Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao, had committed seppuku and committed suicide." David said.
"Ying Zuo committed seppuku?" Sassoon nodded and said, "It's expected."
David continued: "Then just now, there was a riot in the French Concession, and it was quite large."
"What?" Sassoon's face changed slightly when he heard this, "There was a riot in the French Concession? Who did it? The Youth Gang?"
"I'm afraid the Qinggang doesn't have such courage." David said, "It should be No. 76 Jisi Feier Road."
"No. 76?" Sassoon's face fell instantly and he said in a deep voice, "These gangsters are getting more and more courageous. Now they dare to openly loot the French Concession. In a few days, will they? Are they going to loot the public concession? And then they are going to break into my Sassoon Building?"
