Backward and weak China

  Just as Leon was talking to the surrounding Chinese, two or three train policemen squeezed through the crowd and asked everyone, "What's going on?" "

  A middle-aged man next to him explained the cause of the incident to the policeman, and when the policeman heard that the two sides of the fight were foreigners, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, thinking that I can't afford to provoke this foreigner fighting, and then turned around and wanted to leave.

  It is not to blame that the police are so afraid of foreigners, but in this period of the weak and the strong, weak China is really bullied internationally.

  When Leon took a history class in the last life, the teacher told them about the social environment during this time, but the comparison of Lyon at that time did not have much deep understanding, because China was one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time, and no foreigner dared to bully Chinese in China.

  However, after today's incident, Leon understood the grievances of his ancestors, and he wanted to stop the police with red eyes to give a fair verdict on this matter, and before he could speak, the Poles on the ground quickly got up and ran up to grab the policeman, shouting in an awkward Chinese: "Hey! You have to take care of this! I, as the military attaché of the Polish embassy, deserve privileges! "

  The policeman who was pulled in gave the Polish an embarrassed look, then turned his head to Leon and said: "This gentleman, look, what should I do about this matter?" "

  Leon sighed helplessly and said, "You are a policeman, just follow the rules." "

  The policeman could only stiffen his head and say: "Well, according to the safety regulations, I can only ask the two to get off the bus at the front station, and there will be someone to mediate there.

  Both Lyon and the Poles nodded and agreed to this result.

  The policeman saw that both of them nodded, and hurriedly left the place of right and wrong with a sigh of relief.

  Leon turned around to return to his seat, when the child who was sitting on the ground crying stood up and pulled the corner of Larian's clothes, and Leon turned around suspiciously. The grandmother on the side saw her grandson pull the corner of the foreigner's clothes that helped her, and quickly pulled her grandson back nervously, and hurriedly apologized to Leon: "I'm sorry, the child is not sensible." "

  Leon smiled and waved his hand, then squatted in front of the child and smiled: "Child, is there anything wrong?" "

  The child was a little shy, but still plucked up the courage to say to Leon: "Thank you, uncle, you are a good person!" "

  Leon was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched the child's head, and said with a smile: "Then you also have to be a good person in the future, is it okay to protect the people around you?" "

  The child nodded happily and said seriously: "I will also be an uncle like me in the future!" I want to protect my grandparents and mom and dad! "

  Then he looked at the people around him and added, "There are more uncles and aunts!" I want to protect them too! "

  The people around them lowered their heads, just now when the Poles bullied this old man and child, they all chose to hang up on their own, and now this child said that when he grew up, he would protect them, which made them feel very ashamed.

  Leon stood up and looked at the people around him, he knew that if something similar happened in the future, these people around him must choose to stand by again.

  He touched it from his pocket, took out more than ten silver dollars, and stuffed them into the grandmother's hand. The grandmother was full of panic, pushed Leon's hand and said: "I can't help it, sir, you helped us, we haven't thanked you yet, how can we collect your money again?" "

  Leon put the money in the grandmother's pocket and said, "Don't refuse, this money is nothing to me, you take it back and buy something for the child to eat, he is growing his body now." After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his seat.

  The grandmother had to put the money away and glanced at Leon's back gratefully.

  Everyone around admired Lyon's behavior and discussed that Lyon was a man of that country.

  There were still intellectuals in the crowd, and a young man pushed his glasses and said: "I heard what the people with him said, it should be German, he is a German."

  Leon returned to his seat, rubbed Sophia's head, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Sophia." I used violence. "

  Sophia shook her head and said happily: "I don't blame you, it's a good thing that you helped that grandma and child." Besides, you are a soldier, and violence is your profession. "

  Leon nodded and smiled, Sophia didn't blame herself.

  Sophia hugged Leon's hand again and asked suspiciously: "Leon, you seem to be full of thoughts since you came to this country, what are you thinking?"

  Leon was stunned when he heard this, and said a little lonely: "It's nothing, I've been here before, and I see that the way I look now is different from what I was then, and I just have some feelings." "

  Sophia saw Leon's lonely appearance, and wisely did not continue to ask, but hugged Leon harder.

  It didn't take long for the train to reach the next station, and Lyon and Sophia stood up and stepped off the train, with the Pole in front.

  Someone was already waiting there at the station, and when they saw Leon and the others getting off the train, they greeted them and asked: "I'm Roger, are you Mr. Crostave and Mr. Leon?" Both Leon and the Poles nodded.

  Roger looked behind Leon, his expression a little embarrassed, and said, "Those are your people too?" "

  Krosstav looked back suspiciously, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because there were more than twenty men in black standing neatly behind Leon. Krosstave had just gotten off the train and walked in front of him without seeing the people behind him, only then did he find that there were more than the few who beat themselves on the train with Lyon.

  Leon nodded and said, "Yes, they are all my companions, and we came to China as a team." "Of course, these talents are not here for tourism, they are carefully selected personal escorts by the Gestapo, and many more have already used other means of transport to get to their destinations.

  When Krosstav heard that he was here for tourism, he sighed, and then his attitude became arrogant again: "Hey, Mr. Roger is it?" Please inform our Polish embassy, I want this bastard to look good! "

  Roger glanced at Crostav coldly, he was ostensibly dealing with disputes, but in fact, the Chinese high-level sent to contact Lyon and understood Lyon's identity, so he understood that Crostav was going to be unlucky.

  However, he saw that Leon did not speak, so he did not show Lyon's identity to Krosstav, and contacted the Polish embassy for Krosstav.

  In fact, Roger also has selfish intentions, he learned the cause of the incident on the train from the police, so he is full of disgust for Krosstave and good for Lyon. At this time, Krosstav wants to find his own mold, so why not himself?

  On the other hand, the Polish Consul General in China was shocked when he received Roger's notification that the embassy attaché had been beaten. After checking the correctness of the news with the Chinese government, he immediately set out from Nanjing with the armed guards of the consulate and quickly rushed to the city mentioned by Roger.

  The next morning, Lyon got up early to pack his bags and prepare to continue the trip, and Krosstav's question he never paid attention to, and the reason why he was willing to waste half a day here was purely to send a friendly signal to China.

  Of course, getting tired by train is also a major aspect.

  After sorting out his belongings, Leon pushed open the door of Sophia next door and woke up the sleeping Sophia.

  Bleary-eyed Sophia has a unique beauty, less bright and moving, more cute.

  Looking at the cute Sophia, Leon smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips, and then urged her to wash quickly.

  A few minutes later, Sophia, who had finished washing, took Leon's hand and went to the restaurant for a hearty breakfast. The Chinese arranged one of the best local hotels in Lyon, although Lyon always stressed that he was only here for a relaxing tour.

  Not long after breakfast, Roger took Krosstav, the Polish ambassador who had taken the train overnight and others to the door of the hotel where Lyon was staying.

  This hotel is a courtyard, and at this moment there are many people in black standing guard at the entrance of the courtyard.

  Krosstav was a little confused, didn't he say that the good men in black were his companions in traveling? Why do you all stand guard for him? The Polish ambassador also had a bad feeling that it might not be so simple today.

  Roger stepped forward and skillfully explained the group's intentions to the leading Gestapo in German.

  The leading Gestapo signaled that Lyon was waiting for them in the courtyard, but everyone had to be checked and could enter without weapons.

  Roger said he understood, and then arranged for the group to accept the search one by one and enter the courtyard.

  Leon and Sophia are admiring plum blossoms in the courtyard, and from time to time borrow ancient Chinese poems about plum blossoms and Sophia tunes**. After seeing the group walk in, Leon led Sophia to greet them, took the initiative to shake Roger's hand, and said: "Thank you for arranging the hotel for me, it's great."

  Roger waved his hand and said, "No thanks, this is the treatment you deserve." Then he introduced the Polish ambassador behind him to Lyon: "This is Ambassador Sass from the Polish Embassy in China, who came from Nanjing to solve your misunderstanding." "

  After Krosstave had Sass backing him up, he said to Leon with his toes high: "Now you understand who you messed with, right?" Apologize to me quickly! "

  But he didn't notice that Sas, who should support him, was shaking his hands at the moment, and his face was a little pale.

  Hearing this, Leon said dangerously to Sasse: "Apologize? Does Mr. Sass also think I should apologize? "

  Sass shook his body, and then hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Mr. Leon, I have come here to apologize to you, I have heard what happened, we have made a mistake in employing people, and we will arrange for Krosstav to return to Poland when we go back." "

  Krosstav was stunned when he heard this, and he looked at Sass in disbelief.

  Hearing this, Leon nodded and said, "Well, I'm very satisfied with this result, I won't disturb Mr. Sasse's work, goodbye." "

  Sass hurriedly ran out of the courtyard with the group.

  On the way, Krosstav had not yet recovered from the blow, and he asked Sass with trembling lips: "Mr. Ambassador, is everything you just said true?" Was I really fired? Who is that person? "

  Sass snorted coldly and said, "You still don't understand who he is?" He commanded the Munich airborne operation some time ago, the new German chief of operations, the de facto leader of the Wehrmacht, General Leon Andrés.

  Krosstav said nonchalantly: "Germany? It's just a defeated country, their army is not as large as ours. "

  Sass hated iron and said: "Don't underestimate Germany's war potential, even if it is weak, it can easily provoke a European war again." Also, the group of men in black who beat you should be the mysterious Gestapo, do you remember the assassination of several German businessmen in our country half a year ago? That's what the demons did. "

  Krosstav wiped a cold sweat and thought that he had actually fought against the Gestapo.

  Krosstav was a smart man after all, and after understanding the stakes, he honestly accepted the result of his dismissal.

  In fact, the Gestapo did not relent in not killing him, but Leon told them before setting out not to make a fuss in China, otherwise with Krosstav's two blows, he would have long known how many times he died.
