Chapter 721 Other thoughts
Li Yunsheng's words made Robert bow his head and think. After all, this white consul was not a fool, so he naturally had some ideas.
Especially the current world situation is unstable, and the British are defeated by the Germans. Even if Robert is confident, he cannot guarantee that the Japanese will have no other intentions.
Moreover, Robert is not young and is also a foreign personnel who have come from World War I. Naturally, he understands one truth, that is, he cannot place all hope on his opponent's timidity.
Thinking of this, Robert's brows frowned deeply, and he felt even more irritable.
A few minutes later, Robert said helplessly: "Mr. Li, you told me, but I have no choice. After all, the top government officials will not believe your news."
Although Robert had some ideas, he was just a consul and had no way to prepare for the British top leaders.
"Mr. Robert, whether the British government believes this news has nothing to do with you, but should you think about what to do?"
Li Yunsheng did not care whether the British government was prepared or not. After all, before the end of World War II, Britain was not beaten to the local area.
The Nanyang area is just a British colony. No matter how badly the Japanese are beaten or the great losses are, it will not affect the overall situation.
So Li Yunsheng's purpose was to let Robert cooperate with him so that he could lead some white senior officials to hide quietly when the war broke out.
"What does Mr. Li mean!"
Robert's expression became serious. After all, he was not a fool. He could hear something else from Li Yunsheng's words.
"Mr. Robert, let me say it clearly. Once the Japanese start war against Britain and the United States, the concession will be occupied immediately. You don't deny this."
Li Yunsheng continued to analyze the situation. After all, only by explaining these situations clearly can Robert cooperate with his actions.
"You're right, but the Japanese may not dare to take action."
Robert's tone was not so firm. After all, the situation is tense now and he is not sure what will happen in the future.
However, Robert still tends to be afraid to start a war in his heart. After all, Britain has a relatively strong influence.
"hehe!"
Li Yunsheng smiled twice and said again: "But the Japanese have taken action. Mr. Robert should know the situation here. As long as the Japanese have taken action, they will definitely send a navy to block the port.
Next, the Japanese army will enter the concession on a large scale. You won’t think that the armed forces in the lease can stop the Japanese.”
"What does Mr. Li mean?"
Robert immediately asked, after all, Li Yunsheng's words didn't seem to be watching the fun.
"I have nothing to say, but because we have a good relationship, I would like to remind Mr. Robert to consider it for himself."
Li Yunsheng spoke with a sincere look and showed a friendly look.
He paused and then said, "If the Japanese really take action, Mr. Robert should have a way out. He can't enter the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp."
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Robert's face immediately became extremely ugly. After a while, he spoke, "What are Mr. Li's plans?"
Although Li Yunsheng's words were unpleasant, Robert was not a fool. Knowing that the Japanese really entered the concession, he could only become a prisoner and then enter the prisoner-of-war camp.
As for the escape, Robert had thought about it, but before the war started, he could not escape. If he had to wait until the war started, he would probably not have the chance to leave.
However, Robert also knew that Li Yunsheng would never say anything nonsense when he came to the door today, so he asked.
"Mr. Robert and I have known each other for quite some time. We have worked together a few times and are good friends.
So I don't want to see that my friend walked into the prisoner-of-war camp and then came to give you a way out!"
Li Yunsheng spoke slowly and expressed his purpose, but there was a hint of strength in his tone. Looking at Robert's eyes, he also had some pity.
"What way out!"
Robert had been moved by Li Yunsheng and was also worried. After all, he knew that the white man looked too conspicuous and that after the Japanese occupied the concession, he had no way to escape.
"That's right. I plan to arrange a secret stronghold in the city. If the Japanese really enter the concession, I will send someone to protect you and come to this stronghold to hide."
Li Yunsheng expressed his purpose. After all, the headquarters' order was to rescue some foreign senior officials, and Robert's identity can be said to be the highest.
So after rescuing Robert, Li Yunsheng gave a good explanation to the headquarters.
"Mr. Li, I really didn't make you a friend in vain."
Robert immediately responded with a hint of emotion in his tone. After all, he did not expect that Li Yunsheng would make such an arrangement.
After hearing Robert's words, Li Yunsheng thought to himself that if it weren't for the above order, who would care about your life or death.
"We are friends, of course we have to help each other."
Since he wanted to save someone, Li Yunsheng certainly wanted to sell it well, so he responded very politely.
He paused and said, "But Mr. Robert, you should also make some preparations, it is best to transfer some valuables to a safe place."
Li Yunsheng's words were not out of kindness, but had some other thoughts.
After all, the Japanese are about to attack the concession, and now they are only professional in property, so it may be too late.
However, Robert didn't know the inside story and would definitely make some arrangements. When the Japanese attacked, Li Yunsheng could take advantage of the situation, which would kill two birds with one stone.
After all, saving these foreigners is definitely a business of losing money but not making any profit. Li Yunsheng naturally has to make some foreign money, so it is not a waste of time.
Robert didn't know what Li Yunsheng was thinking, so after hearing this, he nodded immediately and said decisively: "Mr. Li said, I should be ready."
There are a lot of property in the concession, and even if the fixed assets cannot be transferred, cash and valuables can still be transferred.
The white people at this time were all very greedy for money, and Robert was the same, so he nodded and agreed immediately without any hesitation.
However, Robert hesitated for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Mr. Li, if something really happens, can you help me and take my friends away together."
Robert was not alone. He also had a few good friends here in Tianjin, so he made this request.
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and felt that Robert's friend was definitely not an ordinary person. This time he sold a favor and might be able to use it in the future. So he nodded and expressed his agreement.
After that, the two began to discuss how to deal with the war if it really broke out and made various arrangements.
After everything was settled, Li Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he had finally made arrangements. It was all the blame for the damn Principal Chang who insisted on rescuing these white people, causing such trouble to him.
But Robert was praying in his heart, hoping that he had thought too much, and the Japanese did not dare to go south, and all these arrangements could not be used...
