Chapter 1709 Evacuation Proposal

"Mr. Lu, you have done too much for us on the financial front."

Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "Especially after the financial war started, you continued to pass on information to us, allowing us to grasp the dynamics of our opponents in a timely manner. On behalf of the government, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you."

"It should, it should."

Lu Wenpu said repeatedly: "The War of Resistance has reached this day. I, Lu Wenpu, am powerless. I can't carry a gun or go to the battlefield. The only thing I can do is these things."

"These things are not trivial."

Meng Shaoyuan was not joking at all: "We can master the implementation time, method and anti-counterfeiting technology of China Reserve Bonds, and this is all your credit.

Also, we need to have the Japanese yen marked and the China Reserve Bank of China's reserve fund to be escorted at an accurate delivery time, so that we can successfully rob the funds."

"Mr. Meng." Lu Wenpu reminded: "This yen is the first batch to be marked. You must not use it in the market."

"It doesn't matter." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Isn't money just for use? Otherwise, will it get moldy in your hands?"

Lu Wenpu was puzzled.

Why do you still use it when you know it's dangerous?

What if you get caught?

"Dad, don't worry."

But Lu Baoer knew Meng Shaoyuan to some extent: "Since Brother Meng said so, he must have his own way."

"Ah, that's because I worry too much. I worry too much." Lu Wenpu said with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, I came today not only to express my gratitude, but also to do something else." Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "Although the financial war is still going on, both sides have invariably restrained themselves in view of the heavy losses.

As the situation further deteriorates, we judge that Shanghai will soon no longer be the main battlefield for our financial war."

What?

Lu Wenpu thought this was simply unbelievable.

Shanghai is the first financial center in the Far East. If this is not the main battlefield, then where is it?

He won't know what's about to happen.

Nor would they know that the legal tender issued by the National Government would soon have to withdraw from Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan did not explain to him: "Mr. Lu has done so many things for us, and we all remember it in our hearts. Although the Japanese special agencies and the Wang puppet regime now trust you very much, you are in danger and may be at risk at any time."

exposure possible.

Therefore, we decided to gradually transfer a group of elites from all walks of life who still insisted on working and living in Shanghai after the fall of Shanghai, and sent them to Chongqing, and Mr. Lu was on the first list."

Lu Wenpu was stunned.

Although he is not from Shanghai, he has lived and worked in Shanghai for such a long time and has long been integrated with this city. Now, he wants to leave here?

"Mr. Lu, we have to prepare for the worst."

Meng Shaoyuan said patiently: "The Japanese have always been ready to take action on the concession. Maybe they will occupy the concession tomorrow. By then, the cultural, economic, and technological elites will all become playthings under the control of the Japanese.

You are all Chinese, and you are all conscientious, patriotic and upright Chinese. You will not be willing to become traitors, but you have to consider the safety of yourself and your family. What should you do? Chongqing is the best place for you."

"Mr. Meng, what you said makes sense." Lu Wenpu was full of doubts: "But what should I do after arriving in Chongqing?"

"The government has already arranged it for you." Meng Shaoyuan said, "You should still do the work in the financial field that you are familiar with. There are many things you can do, especially the reform of currency value. These have to be done by professionals like you.

.”

"Where's my wife?"

Lu Wenpu asked the question he was most concerned about: "My wife's health has been poor. When I go to Chongqing, I must take her with me. Otherwise, I won't go anywhere."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu." Meng Shaoyuan comforted him and said, "We will definitely take Mrs. Lu with us."

"Well."

Now that his biggest concern has been resolved, Lu Wenpu has nothing to hesitate about: "Since it is the government's arrangement, I will just obey."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said: "Just pretend that this didn't happen, go to work and get off work normally, and still play your role well.

After you get home, pack up. Remember, each person can only bring one bag, and the bag cannot be large enough to facilitate evacuation. Bring the most important things at home, and we will help you with the rest when you get to Chongqing."

"Exact evacuation time?"

"Waiting for notification." Meng Shaoyuan looked solemn: "My people will contact you at any time. Once we receive the withdrawal notification, we will leave here immediately and obey the other party's orders unconditionally."

As he said that, he glanced at Lu Wenpu and then at Lu Baoer:

"When someone says to you, 'It's a gloomy day and it's going to rain,' it's time to evacuate!"

"well."

Lu Wenpu responded repeatedly: "Mr. Meng, you sit here for a while, and I'll go talk to my wife so that she won't worry about it. Bao'er, you chat with Mr. Meng."

After saying that, he stood up and hurriedly walked into the madam's bedroom.

"Brother Meng, do I want to leave too?" Lu Baowen asked tentatively.

"I have to leave too." Meng Shaoyuan said without hesitation: "Listen, Shanghai is extremely unsafe now. Not only do you have to leave, but I will arrange for you to leave as soon as possible."

"What about you?" Lu Baoer was a little reluctant to leave: "Are you leaving?"

"Me?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "You know what I do. Anyone can leave, but I can't leave. I have to stay in Shanghai."

"Brother Meng." Lu Baoer looked a little anxious: "So many Japanese want to arrest you and kill you. If they really enter Shanghai, what will you do?

You are so capable, tell your superiors and leave Shanghai too."

"Only the elite can leave." Meng Shaoyuan said with a hint of self-deprecation in his tone: "I am not an elite, I am just a spy, a desperado, and my superiors need me to stay here.

If the Japanese want to catch me, I have to hide. If the Japanese want to kill me, they have to catch me first. Don’t worry, even if the whole of Shanghai falls, I will still be the King of Shanghai!"

Lu Baoer knew that Brother Meng was there to comfort him.

The whole of Shanghai has fallen and there are Japanese everywhere. Where else can Brother Meng hide? What if he falls into the hands of the Japanese?

Lu Baoer didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Meng Shaoyuan really never worried about his own safety. Who made him get into this line of work?

What he is most concerned about is that he has coveted Lu Baoer for more than a day or two. The "Operation Arson" was specially designed for her and has been implemented for some time, but the plan is not going well!
