Chapter 198 Jinling Safety Zone
Chapter 198 Jinling Safety Zone
The three of them walked out of Jinling Women's College and drove straight to Jinling University.
"Mr. Mills, Mr. Beddes, hello!"
Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng walked into the office of Mills and Bedes with humble smiles on their faces.
"Gentlemen, we are here this time to discuss something very important with you." Jiang Shiyuan said straight to the point.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Mills and Bedes asked curiously.
Shen Yifeng stepped forward and handed them Commander Tang's handwritten letter. "Gentlemen, this is the handwritten letter from Commander Tang, the commander of the Jinling Garrison. Please take a look."
Mills and Bedes took the letter, read it carefully, and their expressions gradually became solemn.
"Gentlemen, we sincerely hope that you can join us in establishing a safe zone led by Westerners in Jinling City to protect those innocent people." Jiang Shiyuan said in a firm tone.
Mills couldn't help but sigh, "But this is easier said than done!"
Shen Yifeng quickly said: "Yes, we also know that this is difficult!"
"But we must try our best. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we can't give up!"
Jiang Shiyuan added sincerely: "As far as we know, both gentlemen are very international humanitarians."
"Please believe that we will do our best to protect all the people in the safe zone!"
Mills and Beddes looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
"Okay, we do!" Mills and Beddes said in unison.
"That's great!" Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng excitedly shook hands with Mills and Bedes.
Ms. Vautrin also shook hands with the two knowledgeable people and then suggested: "Without further delay, let's go to see Mr. Rabe next!"
After saying goodbye to Mills and Beddes, they went straight to the Siemens office in Jinling, Hans Country.
"Hello, Mr. Rabe. I am Jiang Shiyuan, this is Mr. Shen Yifeng, and this is Ms. Wei Telin."
Jiang Shiyuan and the other two walked into Rabe's office together and introduced themselves.
"Hello, please take a seat!" Rabe greeted them warmly.
"Mr. Rabe, we have something important to discuss with you!" Jiang Shiyuan said straight to the point.
Shen Yifeng handed Commander Tang's handwritten letter to Rabe, "Mr. Rabe, this is Commander Tang's handwritten letter, please take a look."
"Mr. Rabe, you are the representative of Siemens' Jinling office. You are very influential in Jinling City. Your participation is crucial to our establishment of the Jinling Security Zone," Shen Yifeng explained.
"Yes, Mr. Rabe, please help us for God's sake!" Weitling also pleaded.
Rabe looked at their eyes full of hope and expectation, and couldn't help feeling moved.
"In fact, I have had this idea for a long time. Now with your joining, we will definitely succeed!"
"Without further delay, let's discuss the details of setting up the Jinling Safety Zone."
"That's great! Let's contact the embassies and consulates of various countries and seek their support!" Jiang Shiyuan could not hide his excitement.
"Yes! Let's split up and get the safe zone issue settled as soon as possible!" Shen Yifeng added.
Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng rushed to embassies of various countries and informed ambassadors of the plan to establish the Jinling Safety Zone.
"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Shen, your proposal is very good. We will do our best to support it!" The Ambassador of the Eagle Country was the first to express his opinion.
"Protecting innocent civilians is the obligation of every country and people, and we will definitely give our full support!" The U.S. ambassador followed closely behind.
"We are willing to contribute to the establishment of the Jinling Safety Zone!" The Ambassador of the Romantic Country also agreed.
Embassies of various countries expressed their support, which made Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng extremely excited.
However, when they arrived at the Japanese Embassy, they were treated coldly.
"I'm sorry, both of you. Our ambassador is not here today. Please come back another day." The secretary of the Japanese Embassy said in a cold tone.
"We know that your ambassador is in there. Please inform him and tell him that we have something very important to discuss with him!" Jiang Shiyuan said in a firm tone.
"I'm sorry, our ambassador is really not here. Please don't make things difficult for me!" The secretary still refused to compromise.
"What exactly does your Japanese government mean? Are you going to attack the innocent people in Jinling City?" Shen Yifeng asked angrily.
"Sorry, we don't know anything. Please leave here immediately!" The secretary remained unmoved.
Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng had no choice but to temporarily leave the Japanese Embassy.
"These Japanese pirates are really going too far!" Shen Yifeng said angrily.
Jiang Shiyuan clenched his palms, "Yes, they are deliberately avoiding me!"
"We can't just let it go like this, we must find a way to make them pay the price!"
"That's right, we must let the whole world know about the brutal acts of the Japanese pirates!"
In order to avoid condemnation from the international community, the Japanese government announced that they had no intention of attacking Nanjing and that they would respect the existence of the Nanjing Safety Zone.
However, Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng both knew that this was just a delaying tactic of the Japanese pirates.
Their evil ambitions are obvious!
In this way, with the efforts of Jiang Shiyuan, Shen Yifeng and these international friends, the Nanjing Safety Zone International Committee was formally established, and John Rabe was unanimously elected as chairman.
They actively contacted their respective embassies and consulates to seek support from the international community and began to formulate various rules and regulations for the safe zone.
After careful planning and consideration, they set the northwest part of Jinling City as the Jinling Safety Zone.
The area covers an area of 3.86 square kilometers, accounting for about one-eighth of the area of Jinling city at that time.
In order to ensure the smooth establishment of the Jinling Security Zone, Commander Tang ordered the orderly withdrawal of all military personnel and military facilities involved in the security zone.
"Remember, there must be absolutely no military action in the safe zone. We must ensure that this becomes a truly pure land!" Commander Tang said to his subordinates in a serious tone.
"Yes!" the subordinates responded in unison.
Under the command of Commander Tang, the Chinese troops in Jinling City quickly evacuated the safe zone and took away all weapons and equipment.
In the safe zone, only unarmed civilians and international friends from all over the world were left.
Looking at the empty streets, Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng felt extremely heavy.
They knew that the Japanese pirates were getting closer and closer to Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties...
