"The new army has recruited mercenaries, and they will be rewarded with a thousand eagles of silver for one night...... The war dead and wounded will be rewarded with 2,000 eagles, and the special zone for your wife and children's parents will help you raise ......"

"Have you signed up, folks, this is protecting our own home, and there are no eggs under the nest......"

The refugees around the SAR are largely concentrated in the northwest corner, protected by a tall fence and hard-to-cover by sea shells, where more than 10,000 people who have been swept away by Meler are hiding.

In the chaotic shantytown, several civil officials of the Special Administrative Region were shouting, but their achievements were very small, their mouths were dry, and only a little more than 100 young people bravely walked out.

The expressions on the faces of more people are numb, even if there are a few who are ready to move, they will be held down by their families, gray-haired old mothers, crying wives and children, even if they let you continue to be a slave, they don't want you to risk your life.

"Baby... Mother does not ask you to be rich and rich, but to live in peace...... It's good to live, we have to live..."

This is the common aspiration of the Chinese for thousands of years, as long as people live, whether noble or lowly, it is enough to live.

Those civil officials went around three times, and finally left with a sigh, and returned with more than 100 'mercenaries' to report to General Liu Lang.

Liu Lang was mad when he saw it, "That's it, is there such a little bit of the prime minister's kindness, is there such a person willing to repay the favor?"...... Melle killed their relatives and burned their homes, it was the Prime Minister's Special Zone that saved their lives, even if they were not Prime Ministers, they should stand up and fight the enemy for their own sake?"

Tietoutuo patted Liu Lang's shoulder and comforted, "General, don't get excited, the prime minister said that the people under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have long been frightened by killing and enslavement, numbness is inevitable, when the SAR bought land, this group of people made a lot of noise, and it was a joke to say it......"

"Let's look at it, China is so big, hundreds of millions of people can't everyone wake up, all we can do is to make our efforts to make more and more people awaken......"

Tietoutuo's eyes looked at the dead shantytown, he knew that there were many people peeping, and he also knew that many people were listening with their ears pricked up, Tietoutuo sighed and raised his voice.

"Folks, it's hard to give up a small family, no one wants their relatives to die, so you have to get by, so you are at peace with what happens, so you always fantasize that the butcher's knife will not fall on your head, and when your fellow villagers, neighbors, relatives and friends die tragically, you even have a little inexplicable relief in your heart......"

"You don't have to admit it, you think that the butcher has killed a lot of people, the mutton has been full, and he will never kill himself again, and all you are pursuing is to be the fish that slipped through the net..."

Tietoutuo slammed his iron fist on the table, "But have you ever thought about it, your so-called luck is based on the tragic death of your fellow people, how many times can you be a fish that slips through the net? Your home outside the SAR has been destroyed, and you have fled to the SAR, but what if the SAR is breached? Where else can you escape......

"Do you wait until the walls are blown down, and the enemy's knife is on your neck, and you still hope to be the fish that slips through the net? What can you do but hide your head in the hole and pretend that you don't have a single qiē, and put your life on the mercy of the enemy?"

"You can't ...... for yourself Like a human being...... Do you want to fight like that once? Even once, you can get a taste of what it's like to be a human being... Is it addictive to being a slave......"

These heart-wrenching words made all the hot-blooded men unbearable, and many people rushed out at that time, "Damn, I'm also a seven-foot man, I did ......"

"Count me in...... And me...... And we ......" There was an uproar in the shantytown.

But no matter how hot-blooded the warrior was, he was afraid of the tears of his mother and the crying of his wife and children, and countless old people fell to the ground and hugged the thighs of their children and wept bitterly.

"You are not allowed to go, I will not let you go...... If you want to leave, you are unfilial, you are a big rebel...... I don't understand anything, I don't want to hear anything, I just want you to live, just live......"

"Family, you can't leave, we can't live if we are orphans and widows...... For the sake of the nursing child, come back...... Come back..."

The whole refugee camp was in chaos, children were crying and adults screaming, and a man who wanted to go out was kidnapped and brought back with family affection, and in the end only more than 50 people came out.

Liu Lang and Tie Toutuo looked at the more than 100 people in front of them, and they couldn't cry or laugh in their hearts, at that moment they even had doubts about the great cause described by the prime minister, just the cowardly nature of the people, can the nation really rise?

"That's it, I'll leave it to you here, and I'll take these more than 100 brothers across the river to support the fort...... Lao Tzu gave Ye Qiu a promise to them, I can't break my promise and get fat..."

At this moment, a pair of pairs of white light suddenly flashed in the darkness, and they were blinking towards them, and before the iron head could ask, several figures came out of the darkness and blinded everyone.

It turned out that a team of black mechanics came over quietly, and the leader was the first batch of black uncle Jim who was hired by Xiao Lotian to cross the ocean.

Uncle Jim is a celebrity in Tanggu, he came to China with the Fortune clippers, and he also personally operated the advanced minting machine for Xiao Letian, and he was responsible for the production of the ship of wealth on the sea.

Jim was a black mechanic in Pittsburgh, USA, and had been immersed in machine building all his life, and if you asked him about theory, he would certainly not be as good as the white engineers, but to say that he was an engineer in practice was no match for him.

Later, as a shipload of black mechanics crossed the ocean to East Asia, Jim's identity also changed, not only did he have to work, but he was also responsible for managing the black people who came later, and he seemed to have become the black leader of Tanggu.

Now that the construction of the special industrial zone has begun, many complex machine tools need his help to install and debug, so he has stopped floating on the sea in the past six months.

"Mr. Jim, why are you here......" Liu Lang asked in surprise.

"General Liu, I and the two hundred black technicians behind me have decided to join the war...... I hope you'll allow you—" Jim finished speaking, and a neat three-column phalanx flashed out behind him, all of which were black American mechanics who had come to work in the D.C.

"This, this, this...... How can this be done? You are the backbone of the construction of the special industrial zone, and you are inseparable from you here, and you have no obligation to help us fight?" Liu Lang vetoed this proposal at that time.

"Why not? Didn't they white merchants and engineers already go to war? Do you also discriminate against skin color in the old East?"

"No, no, no...... I don't mean that, I mean that the white businessmen and engineers have a lot of interests in the Zone, and the businessmen have money to invest in the Zone, and the engineers have technology shares that they can pay dividends on, so they are all fighting for their property......"

"But gentlemen, you are all skilled workers hired by the Special Administrative Region, so there is no need for you to get involved, as long as you can maintain neutrality, even if the enemy breaks through here, it will not be ...... to you."

Speaking of this, General Liu Lang suddenly saluted these black technicians, "Chinese will not discriminate against anyone, you are here to help us build the Special Economic Zone, we need your help, please stay with the power called 'industry', this is your battlefield......"

Jim smiled, "Sir, thank you very much for your respect for us, but we already know the danger of the battle just now, and as friends we have an obligation to help......"

"Sir, don't refuse us, we know that you are in urgent need of soldiers now, don't complain about these refugees, they have not received organized training after all, they only have the concept of home in their hearts, but not the concept of country, this is a ...... that needs to be changed slowly"

"We are different, when we were in the United States, we all worked in factories and mines in the North, and we were familiar not only with machinery but also with all kinds of rifles...... Because we can build guns ourselves. The most important thing is that we are workers, we are organized training, we know what discipline is......"

"You can defeat the enemy with us, not a group of ordinary people who have never been on the battlefield......" Speaking of this, Jim smiled evilly, "If nothing else, I always have to fight for our work, give a high salary of two or three hundred dollars a year, and it is enough to recruit mercenaries in the United States, we have to keep our jobs..."

"Besides, let's go out tonight, I think the reward of a thousand eagles......"

At this time, there was anything else to say, Liu Lang could only nod busily, "All of them, as long as they fight with me, all of them will ......"

In this way, the 200 black legions, plus 150 young men, and 50 Liu Lang's personal soldiers, a total of 400 people, began to rush towards the Haihe River at night.

Without a single Spencer, loaded with bullets and grenades on their waists, a group of people made their way through the quiet Tanggu neighborhood, through the dead city, and soon arrived at the edge of the Haihe River.

The ships carrying supplies during the day were still there, and the four hundred men had easily crossed the river at once, and by the time they reached the eastern edge of the fort, the tragedy of the battlefield could not be described in words.

The more than 100 peasant men, when they saw the stumps and severed arms all over the ground, they all vomited countless dead bodies and blood, and all the bitter gall that vomited was about to come out.

"This is hell, this is Shura hell...... I'm going home and I'm scared ......"

"Shut up, it's a battlefield now, and those who dare to be deserters will be killed......"

Liu Lang's personal soldiers smashed with the butts of their guns, and the incessant scolding in their mouths finally stabilized the team, and Liu Lang looked at the raging cavalry on the fort with anger in his eyes.

"Brothers, rush up with me and kill all this group of cavalry Tartars, we will win..."
