Chapter 66 Women's College
"Principal Wu, why did you reject us?" Lu Yuan's tone of voice was no longer as relaxed as it was two days ago. When Hogg came to visit this Principal Wu two days ago, the situation in Nanjing hadn't changed so obviously. , but almost overnight, a large number of foreigners in Nanjing were evacuated, and even among the group of foreigners Hogg recruited from Xuzhou were about to leave.Lu Yuan came to Jinling Women's College today to ask the principal Wu Yifang for a clear answer, but he didn't expect that Wu Yifang would reject his proposal as soon as the two sides met.

"Principal Wu, you must not know that Shanghai is almost completely controlled by the Japanese army. The Japanese army occupying Shanghai is now splitting into three routes and heading towards Nanjing. Don't tell me that you believe that the Japanese army is a disciplined army. From what I know so far, the Japanese army vented their anger accumulated during the Battle of Shanghai on innocent civilians. For now, Jinling Women’s College should move across the river to a safer place. place, or else take my advice and be protected by us in time of war."

The impatient Lu Yuan kept tapping on the table with his right index finger, while Wu Yifang, the principal sitting opposite her, remained calm. Although his words were not as firm as before, the meaning in his words revealed a hint of refusal . "Principal Wu, although all the people I hire are foreigners, I am an authentic Chinese. I just want to do what I can for the civilians in Nanjing. I don't want to waste time here any longer. Now I want to trouble you to tell me the reason for rejecting us, as long as you can convince me, we will leave immediately and never come to your place again."

Lu Yuan simply opened up the words, and Vautrin, who was sitting next to Wu Yifang, said to Lu Yuan, "Mr. Lu, we are very grateful for what you have done for the civilians in Nanjing, but we are fine, and we have already contacted you. In addition to other foreigners in the city, we have unanimously decided to open an international safety zone in the city, and our Jinling Women's College is one of the places dedicated to housing women. For this reason, we have contacted the International Red Cross, and the Japanese again It’s brutal, and I don’t think they would dare to provoke the Red Cross.”

Vautrin's confidence made Lu Yuan laugh immediately. He reached out and took out a thick stack of photos from the purse that he always carried. Lu Yuan pointed at those photos and said angrily to Vautrin and Wu Yifang. . "Open your eyes and take a good look. These photos are also unarmed women, but they have been treated inhumanely by Japanese soldiers. Ms. Vautrin, your intention is good, but you have to face That's right, the vicious Japanese, your international rules are not as real as the weapons in their hands in the eyes of the Japanese."

The photos that Lu Yuan brought were amazing, some of them were from the Shanghai battlefield, and some were from the surrounding areas of Shanghai and the North China battlefield. These photos were all bought by Hogg from some foreign journalists at a great price.After seeing these photos brought by Lu Yuan, Vautrin's heart has already been completely confused. If the Japanese soldiers who entered Nanjing were as brutal as the photos, Jinling Women's College, which only has a dozen male janitors, is undoubtedly a pack of wolves. Surrounded by sheepfolds.

But even though Vautrin already thought so in her heart, she never let go of her agreement to Lu Yuan's suggestion. In her opinion, letting a person of unknown origin bring hundreds of foreigners in German uniforms into Jinling Women's College It is a thing that violates the purpose of the school.The change in Vautrin's expression did not escape Lu Yuan's eyes, and Lu Yuan turned his head to Wu Yifang, the principal of the College of Arts and Sciences, and said, "Principal Wu, do you think it's ridiculous to think that the red cross armbands on your arms can Have you blocked the Japanese army? If the Japanese army came in to search the rout of the national army as an excuse, how should you respond? Use your armbands to fight the Japanese army's bayonet?"

"The Japanese are very good at superficiality. They may send female soldiers into your academy to search. At the same time, they can designate a civilian hiding here at will and say that the national army is defeated. Then they will use this to threaten you to close the academy. .Of course it is impossible for you to hand over the civilians who escaped here, so you have to negotiate terms with the Japanese army. If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would not have taken the opportunity to propose to take a small number of women from you and pretend to give them to those who entered the city. Japanese soldiers wash clothes or prepare meals."

"Exchanging a few people for the safety of more people, I think you have no choice." Having said that, Lu Yuan suddenly stood up and looked at Wu Yifang and Vautrin, and his voice became louder. "But you have to know that the Japanese troops entering the city belong to different units. If the first Japanese army takes away women from you, there will be a second and third Japanese army to trouble you. By that time, the Japanese army will There will be more means to blackmail you, what should you do? Answer me?"

Lu Yuan's voice echoed in the office, and Wu Yifang and Wei Telin were already pale and dripping with cold sweat. If what Lu Yuan just said became true, Wu Yifang and Wei Telin would know that the woman The academy absolutely has no ability or method to protect those civilian women.In the face of the bayonets and difficulties of the Japanese army, the women's college can only be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If what Lu Yuan said becomes true, then the women's college is likely to become a sad place.

Xu Shi noticed the change in the mentality of Wu Yifang and Vautrin, and Lu Yuan eased his tone and continued, "I recruited a large number of foreigners from Shanghai and Xuzhou. Although the Japanese are arrogant, they will not dare to face and provoke foreign countries. People. Besides, I have the support of the German consulate, if you accept my suggestion, I will send some food and medicine to you immediately, and at the same time, a foreign escort team of 120 people will be stationed in the college."

"Mr. Lu, in fact, the reason why I want to reject your proposal is mainly because I am worried that your escort team will give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of it after entering the academy. In case the time comes, the Japanese army entering the city will use this as an excuse If we want to search or block our college, our plan to use the college to accommodate female refugees in the city may be in vain.” Until now, the principal Wu Yifang finally told the truth, but what she said This fact made Lu Yuan dumbfounded.

"Principal Wu, I don't think you need to worry about this issue." Lu Yuan said here, walked out of the office, and explained a few words to Schuchman who was waiting outside the door.The latter returned to the car immediately, opened the door and took out a neatly folded German flag from the car and handed it to Lu Yuan.Lu Yuan took the flag and returned to the office, opened it in front of Vautrin and Wu Yifang, pointed at the ** flag and smiled.

"This is a German flag. I guess some foreign teachers in your women's college may not want to see the flag. But now, it is the key to keeping your women's college safe in the flames of war. My escort You will come to your college with many such flags, and the guards will temporarily wear German military uniforms, and even distribute German weapons for defense. In other words, the internal management of the entire women's college is still your school, and it is only for the outside world. All affairs will be handled by foreign guards wearing German military uniforms."

"The Japanese have always sought to form an alliance with Germany. Even if the Japanese soldiers entering the city would express dissatisfaction with my foreign guards, they would never dare to confront these foreign guards wearing German uniforms, let alone break through the foreign guards. I also hope that you can inform the foreign teachers in the school in advance that my foreign guards are all foreign civilians living in China, not real Communist soldiers."

After Lu Yuan's explanation, Vautrin and Wu Yifang finally understood Lu Yuan's whole plan, and finally understood that the things they were worried about would never happen. Lu Yuan's plan was to use the banner of Germany to suppress Japanese. "Mr. Lu, how sure are you? What if the German consulate can no longer withstand the pressure from the Japanese?" Vautrin asked the final question.

"Ms. Vautrin, as early as August, I had negotiated with the Germans in Shanghai and formulated this plan. It has been more than three months now. We have not only prepared a large amount of food and medicine, but also stockpiled them for the winter. A lot of supplies are necessary, and my guards have also received a month of rigorous training from real German soldiers. This plan has now reached the stage of concrete implementation, and I am very confident about it, and I have great confidence." Lu Yuan said The answer is not too detailed, because there is no way to explain some parts of it to Vautrin and Wu Yifang.

After spending the whole morning, Lu Yuan finally persuaded Vautrin and Wu Yifang. Before lunch, Lu Yuan, accompanied by Vautrin, took Schuchman and others to conduct an inspection on the entire women's college. Field survey. "Ms. Vautrin, please tell Principal Wu that before dark, the first batch of food and medicines will arrive at the Women's College, and 30 female guards will also come with the food. After tomorrow morning, the remaining 90 guards will arrive. One after another." Before leaving the women's college, Lu Yuan gave Vautrin a reassurance.

After solving the troubles of the women's college, Lu Yuan's many perfect plans finally began to unfold step by step. A large amount of food and medicine were transported from Xiaofenqiao to the women's college. The first batch of 120 foreign guards finally ended the boring military training. Food rushed to the women's college to take over the daily defense work of the college.Overnight, there were many strange faces in the women's college, which surprised the female students of the women's college, but under the explanation and control of the teachers of the college, the students did not panic.
