Chapter 210 Incitement
Chapter 210 Incitement
But Jia Xiaolin looked flattered, and immediately nodded and bowed to Jiang Yifan:
"Thank you for your concern, Chief. But you are too polite. My safety is not as important as Captain Daoqiao's safety. Don't worry, we are together. I will send someone to protect Captain Daoqiao."
Jiang Yifan didn't say much, and asked again: "How many people can we mobilize today to participate in the demonstration?"
Hearing this, Jia Xiaolin frowned and replied: "Probably more than a thousand people can be dispatched!"
When Jiang Yifan heard that there were only more than a thousand people, he asked, "Shanghai is so big, and only more than a thousand people are dispatched. Isn't that a little too few?"
When Jia Xiaolin heard this, his brows furrowed into knots and he said, "Captain Daoqiao, there are already quite a few people. You know, this is a parade for merchants, right?"
Jiang Yifan thought for a moment and then asked, "What we want is quantity and momentum. As for whether they are businessmen or not, it doesn't seem to matter that much, right?"
"You're right. I have already assigned five to ten people to each shop." Jia Xiaolin looked at Jiang Yifan and answered with some embarrassment.
Jiang Yifan saw Jia Xiaolin's embarrassment and asked curiously:
"Could it be that they are unwilling to participate?"
"I am willing to participate, mainly because we still have business to take care of, and now we have reached our limit. However, please rest assured, Captain Shimahashi, I will definitely find a way to increase the number of people to more than 1,500 tomorrow!"
Jia Xiaolin didn't dare to shirk responsibility and quickly changed his answer.
Jiang Yifan did not answer immediately after hearing Jia Xiaolin's words. Instead, he walked around the office and looked at the demonstration outside the window. Seeing that there was no end in sight, he turned around and said:
"Let's not talk about today. Tomorrow, 1,500 people will definitely not be enough. We need to have at least 2,000, or even 3,000. This depends on whether the French Concession takes action. Do you understand?"
Jiang Yifan looked at Jia Xiaolin and said.
"This……"
When Jia Xiaolin heard this, he was speechless.
These 1,500 people were gathered barely under his coercion and inducement. Tomorrow the number will be increased to 2,000 or even 3,000. Where can he get so many people?
Jia Xiaolin suddenly felt embarrassed.
Jiang Yifan took a look and thought, this guy is the boss of the Green Gang, is this the only appeal he has?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifan did not embarrass Jia Xiaolin anymore and answered casually:
"Don't worry about the personnel. I'll take care of it. Can you raise the morale of the demonstration team and make them louder? It's like they haven't had enough food. There's no morale at all. It's a disgrace to the Empire of Japan."
Jiang Yifan looked at Jia Xiaolin and criticized him in a critical manner.
"Yes, yes, yes! Captain Daoqiao, please rest assured. I will send someone over right away and ask them to turn up the volume to the maximum!" Jia Xiaolin was so intimidated by Jiang Yifan that he felt helpless and winked at the person next to him.
The people around him walked out immediately.
Soon, the shouts of the protesters became as loud as a tsunami.
Jiang Yifan was satisfied when he heard this and said, "Drinking is for fun, and demonstrations are for morale. We must let the British know that our hearts are filled with hatred and have reached the point where we can no longer tolerate it! Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Captain Daoqiao's teachings are very correct. I will convey Captain Daoqiao's words to everyone participating in the demonstration."
After saying that, Jia Xiaolin walked outside.
After Jia Xiaolin left, Jiang Yifan walked around the office and an idea suddenly occurred to him: Damn, isn't this an opportunity to make money?
If a store doesn't want to participate in the parade, that's fine, but they have to pay five dollars. Isn't that money to spend?
So he looked at Kudo and ordered:
"You guys, go print flyers right now. The content is that every shop must have a certain number of people to participate in the demonstration. If there is one person missing, you must show up at the Special High Section Action Team at 8 o'clock tomorrow and pay five dollars in cash. No mistakes."
"Yes!"
Kudo and his three team members responded and turned to leave.
Afterwards, Jiang Yifan also walked out of the office and, together with Jia Xiaolin, followed the demonstrators toward the entrance of the International Settlement.
When we arrived at the gate of the International Settlement, the parade team was waving flags and shouting slogans at the gate.
Jia Xiaolin immediately shouted, "Everyone, shout as hard as you can. If anyone doesn't shout as hard as you can, he will be punished."
As a result, the Japanese-led demonstration team in the Chinese area and the British demonstration team started a vocal battle at the gate of the International Settlement.
Jiang Yifan looked at the demonstrators in the International Settlement, estimated them, and said to Jia Xiaolin, "I estimate that their number is more than two thousand!"
Jia Xiaolin scratched his head unconsciously and replied, "It should be about the same, right? But, Captain Shimahashi, you have to know that I can only force pro-Japanese businessmen, but how dare I use force on Japanese businessmen?"
Jiang Yifan looked at Jia Xiaolin and thought to himself that he knew he was a dog, otherwise, even if you were the leader of the Green Gang, you would not have a good ending.
"I have already distributed leaflets in the name of the Special High Section Action Team. Any store that does not participate in the parade according to the number of people you specified must hand in five dollars in cash to the Special High Section Action Team at 8 o'clock tomorrow. If they don't send people, they can pay. If we use the money to buy people to participate in the parade, won't morale be higher?"
Jiang Yifan and Jia Xiaolin said.
Hearing this, Jia Xiaolin stared at Jiang Yifan for a long time before giving him a thumbs up and saying, "Captain Daoqiao, you are so smart!"
His fear of Jiang Yifan had slowly turned into admiration.
Although Shimahashi is young, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. No wonder he is appreciated by several high-ranking Japanese officials.
If I can establish a good relationship with Captain Daoqiao, maybe it will be more promising than currying favor with Li Qun.
At this time, an inspector sent by Jiang Yifan to the French Concession came to report that more than a thousand people had gathered in the French Concession and were holding a massive demonstration.
Hearing this, Jiang Yifan looked at Jia Xiaolin and said, "How is it? I want you to prepare 2,000 to 3,000 people tomorrow. It won't be a lot of demonstrations, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Captain Daoqiao is still far-sighted and capable. I admire him! I admire him!"
Jia Xiaolin nodded and bowed to Jiang Yifan again.
At this moment, another inspector came running over and reported: "Captain, we have caught a British businessman in the Chinese area. He is inciting Chinese businessmen to join the British demonstration."
"First put him in the Special High Police prison and await interrogation!" Jiang Yifan ordered.
"Hayi!"
The detective turned and walked away.
