Chapter 725 Dressed as a prisoner
The words of the military officers in the consulate made several senior officials even more worried and asked Robert how to deal with it.
Some people even suggested that Robert be consulted with the Japanese as a consul and let them leave as diplomats.
Listening to these people's proposals, the military officers in the consulate were very disdainful because he knew that this proposal would not work at all. After all, the Japanese are famously barbaric, so how could they agree to such a request?
"Sir, please make an idea quickly, otherwise the Japanese army will come over in less than a long time."
Ignoring the other people's proposal, the consulate military officer once again reminded Robert.
It’s not because of something else, but the consulate military officer has no other way. If he could leave, he would never have been entangled with these people.
But the military officers of the consulate understood that there were not many white people in the concession, and leaving alone was too conspicuous and dangerous, so they patiently left for discussion.
Moreover, the military officers in the consulate also had an idea, which was to surrender directly to the Japanese and strive to obtain good treatment for prisoners of war.
This also corresponds to the tradition of white people. After all, the usual style of white people is that they can surrender to the enemy without hope of victory in order to reduce casualties.
However, the military officer of the consulate did not want to issue this order because he was a soldier and had a hint of self-esteem.
In addition, Robert is the highest person in charge here, and the military officer in the consulate cannot decide everything, so he reminded him from the side.
The military officer of the consulate finally woke Robert up. He calmed down and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I have made arrangements. Chinese people will come to protect us and escort us to a safe place."
While speaking, Robert still prayed in his heart, hoping that Li Yunsheng would come soon...
As soon as Robert finished speaking, the senior concession in the room immediately became excited and started talking.
The military officer in the consulate was a little surprised and immediately asked: "Sir, you said that there will be Chinese people to protect us and escort us away."
"Yes, you don't have to worry, just wait patiently."
Robert responded with affirmative response and began to pack up important items.
"Sir, I'm going to pick up my wife."
At this moment, a senior executive of the concession made this request.
After hearing the man's request, Robert frowned and nodded quickly.
The man saw Robert's head and immediately showed a happy expression, and then quickly left.
Other senior officials of the concession also made this request, after all, they also have family members.
Robert did not stop him, and immediately agreed to the request of these people, causing the military officers in the consulate around him to reveal some unexpected expressions.
However, the military officer in the consulate had no family, so he stayed in the work department and accompanied Robert to pack up his things.
Four senior officials from the concession remained together, all of whom had no family members.
A few minutes later, a few people packed up and came to the first floor lobby of the Industrial Bureau.
At this time, there were only two white guards in the first floor lobby, and the others ran away.
Seeing this situation, Robert didn't care. He immediately found a seat to sit down and waited patiently for Li Yunsheng to arrive.
Within five minutes, more than thirty Japanese soldiers drove two trucks to the Industrial Bureau.
There were only two guards left in the Ministry of Industry. Seeing so many Japanese soldiers, they naturally did not dare to resist and quickly retreated into the hall, like Robert reported: "Mr. Consul, a team of Japanese soldiers came outside."
As soon as the guard finished speaking, several senior officials in the concession immediately became scared and asked Robert what was going on.
Ignoring the questions of these people, Robert quickly got up from his seat and walked towards the door.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers also entered the hall, making the white men even more nervous. The two guards raised their weapons and came to the military officers of the consulate on the side, revealing thoughtful expressions.
"Mr. Li, you are finally here."
Seeing the Japanese soldier in the lead, Robert breathed a sigh of relief, spoke with a little excitement, and signaled the two guards to put down their weapons.
Seeing that Robert met the Japanese soldiers, these white senior officials in the concession immediately understood and had an excited expression on their faces.
Even the military officers in the consulate were also excited, and looked at Robert's eyes with a little respect.
"Mr. Robert, it's already messy outside. The situation is very critical now. You must listen to my instructions."
The Japanese soldiers who came were naturally disguised by Li Yunsheng and other military agencies. After they entered the concession, their first target was the Ministry of Industry, so they came so quickly.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I must follow your instructions."
Robert nodded immediately to agree. After all, the situation is critical now, so he naturally won't be troublesome.
He paused and asked again, "But, Mr. Li, how do we leave?"
Robert is not a fool. He knows that his group is too conspicuous, so he is a little confused and doesn't know how to leave.
"I'm going to feel wronged by the Consul."
Li Yunsheng first expressed his apology, and then said, "To ensure safety, you must dress up as prisoners and let us take them away."
Li Yunsheng did not hesitate and immediately told him how to leave, because only in this way can he be foolproof and he would not be suspected when encountering other Japanese troops.
After hearing Li Yunsheng's approach, Robert was stunned and then said, "No problem, I will definitely cooperate with you."
Robert immediately nodded in agreement, but thought to himself, no wonder Li Yunsheng and the others wanted to pretend to be Japanese.
When the two of them discussed, Li Yunsheng said in advance that he would pretend to be a Japanese, so Robert was not afraid when he heard the guard's warning, but came to check the situation in person.
But Robert didn't expect that Li Yunsheng would let him pretend to be a prisoner, so he felt a little helpless.
After all, pretending to be a prisoner is a shameful act, but for his own safety, Robert did not object, because he knew that the danger would be much smaller if he did so.
Other British people did not make any comments, after all, in such critical situations, saving lives is the most important thing.
What's more, the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken. If these arrogant white people are unwilling to pretend to be prisoners and can only walk into the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, they naturally understand how to choose.
After that, the agents under Li Yunsheng began to take action and tied up Robert and others.
These arrogant white men had no intention of dissatisfaction and cooperated with the actions of the Military Intelligence Agency agents.
Soon a few white men were tied up, and Li Yunsheng immediately ordered: "Everyone retreat."
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, the agents of the Military Control Commission planned to leave.
But at this time, a senior executive in the concession suddenly spoke: "Sir, we still have a few people who haven't come back."
"If you are willing to wait for them, just stay."
Robert immediately responded, his voice very cold. After saying that, he took the lead in walking out of the lobby of the Ministry of Industry and had no intention of staying.
