Xu Rui's plan is being prepared in full swing. At this time, Shanghai's public opinion field is taking the lead in fermenting.
The reason why Xu Rui implemented military control in the concession was firstly to raise food, and secondly to attract international attention and increase the exposure of the upcoming defense war in Shanghai. In order to achieve this goal, Xu Rui has even done everything possible and suffered from Western countries. Be mentally prepared for all the media to criticize you.
The patrol battalion implemented military control over the concession, which was simply a huge provocation.
The concession was originally a country within a country, and only foreigners enjoyed privileges in the concession.
However, now, the patrol camp not only wants to deprive foreigners of their privileges in the concession, but even wants to take back the concession!
The patrol battalion ignored the authority of the Concession Industry Bureau and blatantly implemented military control in the public concession. Isn't this tantamount to taking back the concession in disguise? How can the Western world tolerate its own privileges being damaged? Therefore, it is light to criticize with words and pen. If it were not for the constraints, they would definitely send troops to suppress it.
Therefore, Xu Rui has long been prepared to accept criticism.
However, Xu Rui did not expect that things did not develop in the direction he expected, at least not completely in that direction, but something unexpected happened.
The commentators of various newspapers and magazines controlled by Britain, France, Italy and other countries did not have any surprises. Without exception, they criticized the "barbaric behavior" of the patrol camp and branded the commander of the patrol camp Xu Rui as a "tyrant". "The title also compared Xu Rui to Liu Lichuan, the leader of the Xiaodao Hui uprising.
However, the Miller Review, which is controlled by the Americans, published an editorial article by Helena, the Associated Press war correspondent. The headline of the article was "Barbarity or justice?"
The subtitle of the chapter is "What led to the desperate resistance of the Chinese people?"
The chapter detailed the expansion of the public settlement in the past half century since its establishment, from a small area to today covering nearly half of Shanghai, and bluntly pointed out that this is a great contribution to the country. It is a blatant violation of sovereignty and a blatant violation of international law.
It is pointed out more pointedly: A powerful country’s armed aggression against a weak country, forcibly occupying a concession on the land of a weak country, and exercising consular jurisdiction in the concession are the upholding of justice and human rights, the maintenance of human justice, and the high dignity and sanctity of international law. Inviolable, he is the guardian of the bright world.
On the contrary, if a weak country resists a strong country, it is an atrocity, it is barbarism, it is a desecration of justice and human rights, it is a blatant trampling of international law, and it must be jointly punished by the entire bright world! In a word, weak countries should be enslaved by strong countries like sheep, and any resistance is unjust.
The total subscription volume of Miller's Review exceeds 5,000 copies, and it has a wide audience among white-collar workers and students in Shanghai. Many schools even use Miller's Review as an English teaching journal, so after reading this latest review After receiving the membership badge, many white-collar workers and students in Shanghai immediately took action.

Concession area, in front of Baptist University.
Zhuanshan Leopard wore a felt hat on his head and a black silk shirt. He was peering in from the gate. He ran out secretly because the Langya Brigade was immediately restricted after arriving in Shanghai. It is strictly forbidden to go out without permission within the Broadway Building. If you have to go out for special reasons, you must be accompanied by someone at least.
So this time, Zhuanshan Bao did not come alone, but also Han Feng and Mo Zichen. At this moment, Han Feng and Mo Zichen were lazily leaning on the street corner to bask in the sun. They didn't know each other. It is said that the two of them are idle men who fled to the Shanghai Concession from other places. It is difficult to connect the two of them with the notorious Langya.
While eating melon seeds, Mo Zichen said to Han Feng: "Madman, look, look at Leopard's excited look. I really thought this girl would remember him. With his bear-like look, I really don't look down on him." He is a ghost if a girl falls in love with him, let alone the rich daughter of a landlord."
During the last trip to Shanghai, all the core members of Langya came. Therefore, the old team members of Langya all knew about the incident between Zhuanshan Bao and Xu Xiaoya. Before the two said goodbye, they even gave each other gifts. As a gift, Xu Xiaoya gave Zhuan Shanbao a photo with her signature on the back, and Zhuan Shanbao gave Xu Xiaoya a pen.
That photo has been kept closely by Zhuanshan Leopard, and no one is allowed to see it.
Mo Zichen asked Zhuanshan Leopard several times for permission to see it, but was rejected by Zhuanshan Leopard without hesitation. Therefore, Mo Zichen's words were unavoidable: "Donkey said, what a romantic knife" The guests are all single, but Zhuan Shan Bao, a bastard bandit, has found the daughter of a landlord. Why? God is so unfair.
Han Feng said calmly: "You can't say for sure, everyone has their own preferences for carrots and cabbage."
"Hey, madman, you still don't believe it," Mo Zichen said, "How about we make a bet?"
"Okay, I believe in Lao Bao." Han Feng said obediently, "What do you want to bet on?"
"What are you betting on?" Mo Zichen rolled his eyes and said in a cheerful voice, "Madman, I heard that your wife has a cousin, what's her name? She's quite handsome, otherwise, hehehehe..."
Mo Zichen rubbed his hands, but his face showed a look of knowing.
"Okay." Han Feng said cheerfully, "If I lose, I will introduce it to you, but what if you lose?"
"I lose?" Mo Zichen slapped his thigh and said, "If I lose, I will clean your gun for half a month, how about it?"
"Half a month? You are so beautiful." Han Feng said angrily, "At least a month, otherwise there is no need to talk. I can tell you that our girl is very rare now, and you are not the only one who has ideas about her."
"It will be a month," Mo Zichen said heartily, "Then it's settled."
While they were talking, there was movement at the gate of the Baptist University in front of them, and the two of them immediately cheered up.
After a while, two female students with long hair, wearing blue wide-sleeved jackets and black pleated skirts walked out of the door arm in arm. If not Xu Xiaoya, who is the shorter one on the right? But the girl on the left of Xu Xiaoya is particularly beautiful, and she is also taller. She looks slim and tall, and she is really the best.
Han Feng just felt amazing, but Mo Zichen's eyes bulged.
Xu Xiaoya saw Zhuanshan Leopard standing outside the gate at a glance, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her pretty face. Then she let go of her companion without hesitation and ran towards Zhuanshan Leopard until When he was less than two steps away from the mountain leopard, he restrained himself and called out "Brother Leopard" shyly.
The Mountain Leopard roared in response, with a silly smile on his face, but he didn't even know where to put it.
If the brothers from the former Qingniu Village were to see this situation, their jaws would be dropped. Is this really the murderous second-in-command they remember
When the two of them didn't know how to continue, Xu Xiaoya's female classmate came over with a smile. The female classmate smiled at Xu Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, why don't you introduce it to me?"
Xu Xiaoya woke up from a dream. She quickly grabbed her female classmate and said to Zhuan Shan Bao, "Brother Bao Zi, this is my classmate Wang Jiayi."
Zhuan Shan Bao snorted, but his eyes never left Xu Xiaoya's face. At this moment, Zhuan Shan Bao only had Xu Xiaoya in his eyes. No matter how beautiful other women were, they were nothing to him.
Wang Jiayi covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said in a voice: "Xiaoya, is he your Leopard Brother?"
Xu Xiaoya is usually very generous, but she suddenly became shy when she saw Zuanshan Bao.
Seeing Zhuan Shanbao and Xu Xiaoya flirting with each other, Wang Jiayi wanted to find an excuse to leave. At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her: "Hello, classmate Jiayi."
Wang Jiayi looked at the tall man in front of her with some surprise. What's going on
At the street corner not far away, Han Feng had already covered his face with his sleeves: You stupid Mo Zichen, don't tell people that you know me from now on, I can't afford to embarrass that person.
The Mountain Leopard also looked at Mo Zichen who suddenly appeared in shock, and shouted: "Old Mo, what are you doing?"
But Mo Zichen didn't care. He took off the wide-brimmed hat on his head and showed what he thought was the most charming smile to Wang Jiayi. Then he introduced himself: "My name is Mo Zichen, and I am Leopard's friend."
Looking at Mo Zichen intently, Wang Jiayi suddenly became a little embarrassed and her pretty face turned red.
As a beautiful girl, boys and even male teachers often come to express their love for her in school. However, Wang Jiayi can politely refuse every time. However, the tall man in front of her gives her a strange feeling. The chiseled facial features and the unruly beard all gave Wang Jiayi a strong psychological impact.
Wang Jiayi had never studied modern psychology. She did not know that the aura exuding from Mo Zichen was called male hormone. Compared with the students or teachers of Baptist University, the male aura on Mo Zichen was much stronger. A lot, and Wang Jiayi was attracted by the scent of male hormones that was so strong that it almost liquefied.
Mo Zichen coughed lightly and said calmly: "Jiayi, the weather is nice today, why don't we go for a walk? I heard that the scenery on the Bund is pretty good, so let's go to the Bund. What do you think?"
While speaking, Mo Zichen's tiger eyes were always looking directly at Wang Jiayi's pretty face.
Wang Jiayi couldn't stand Mo Zichen's aggressive eyes anymore, so she turned around and ran away.
It wasn't until she ran a few dozen meters that Wang Jiayi turned back to Xu Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, I'm waiting for you at the Baptist Square. The parade is about to start. You should come back quickly."
"Jiayi, wait for me, I'll come." After Xu Xiaoya said that, she waved to the mountain leopard and ran away like a deer.
In the blink of an eye, the two beautiful women had disappeared through the gate of Baptist University. Almost at the same time, fierce slogans rang out on the campus: Take back the concession! Abolish the unequal treaties!
