"There are still 2 months, maybe enough time." For the current battle situation, Zhuo Fei didn't know if the preparations he had made would work, but as a Chinese, he would do his best to help the people in the city survive. The car drove through the crowded streets, and although the people in the streets with melancholy faces knew that the situation was not good, they did not realize the approaching danger, which was exactly what Zhuo Fei feared.

"Very well, Mr. Hansen, it looks like I need to give you a raise." The shelter that Hansen found was on Guangzhou Road, just one intersection away from Xiaofenqiao, and Zhuo Fei could even see the roof of Rabe's residence standing on the platform on the roof. Zhuo Fei went to great lengths to ask Hansen to arrange his residence in the Xiaofenqiao area of Guangzhou Road, in order to be neighbors with Siemens' branch in Nanjing, and even more so to use Hansen's nationality to get to know Rabe, the manager of Siemens in Nanjing, earlier.

In later generations, Zhuo Fei once visited Nanjing as a training pacesetter, especially for the purpose of receiving patriotic education, and visited the Nanjing Massacre site, which made Zhuo Fei remember not only the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing, but also Rabe, a German who can be called a humanitarian fighter. After the Japanese army broke through Nanjing, his residence in Nanjing, No. 1 Xiaofenqiao, Guangzhou Road, Nanjing, was one of the 25 international security zones for refugees in the Nanjing Security Zone, protecting more than 600 refugees.

As the chairman of the Nanjing International Security Zone, Rabe and other international friends have worked with the International Committee of the Nanjing Security Zone to save the lives of more than 250,000 Chinese in the less than 4 square kilometers of security zone under his responsibility. On New Year's Day 1938, the refugees at the refugee camp were in John? In the courtyard of Rabe's mansion, they lined up to bow to Rabe and offered him a piece of red silk with the words "You are a living bodhisattva for hundreds of thousands of people." In February of the same year, Rabe left Nanjing, and the International Committee of the Nanjing Security Zone spoke highly of Rabe, and the Chinese Nationalist Government awarded Rabe the Order of Three-color Jade.

Rabe, who was respected by the citizens of Nanjing, was not an ordinary German, in fact, Rabe was also a member of the German Nazi Party, and it is precisely because of this that Rabe was arrested by the Soviet Union and Britain after the end of World War II. But in Zhuo Fei's heart, he didn't care whether Rabe was a member of the Nazi Party or not, as a German, under such circumstances, he could tell the Japanese army to exert pressure to help those Chinese refugees who had nothing to do with him, which was enough to prove Rabe's personality. If possible, Zhuo Fei also wants to use this to change Rabe's fate in the future, and good people should be rewarded.

"How's the manpower I've asked you to recruit?" After seeing the situation in the residence, Zhuo Fei, who sat down in the study, asked him about other arrangements for Hansen. Without the slightest hesitation, Hansen took out a file bag from the wall cabinet in the study, opened the file bag, took out a stack of documents and photos from it and handed it to Zhuo Fei.

"Nanjing is not as good as Shanghai and Tianjin, there are not many foreigners here, although our recruitment conditions are not very high, but I only recruited 32 people. Of the 32 people, there were 5 retired American veterans who came to China to try their luck, 16 bankrupt Jews, and 5 guys from Italy, and the rest were all Germans. As he spoke, Hansen sorted the photos on the table into several piles according to their nationality, so that Zhuo Fei could identify the people in the photos.

Hansen's tone changed slightly when he spoke of the Jews, and Zhuo Fei did not look up or interrupt Hansen, knowing that the contradictions between Germans and Jews could not be explained in a few words. In order not to make it difficult for Han Sen, Zhuo Fei helped Han Sen make a decision, "That's good, give each of those Jews two oceans, let them leave, as for what has been sent to them, forget it." ”

Han Sen naturally didn't say anything about Zhuo Fei's decision, in fact, these guys recruited by Han Sen had only been together for a few days, and each of them was given 2 oceans, which can be regarded as the fastest job to get money. "Later, I'll give you some more money to let those Americans go to the black market to buy some automatic weapons, submachine guns and pistols, and if there is chaos in the city, our people will rely on these things to protect our homes." Hearing Zhuo Fei say that he wanted to purchase arms, Han Sen agreed without raising his head, this goods were not good men and women in the first place, so he naturally knew the priorities.

After chatting with Hansen in the study for a while, the two walked out of the study and came to the hall, where Hansen arranged for the foreigners who had been left behind to meet Zhuo Fei. It didn't take much effort, 16 foreigners of men and women appeared in front of Zhuo Fei, and Zhuo Fei, who had not seen those photos at all, did not know that there were actually 3 women among these people recruited by Hansen. When the three women introduced themselves as American veterans, Zhuo Fei suddenly remembered the strange look on Hansen's face when he said that he wanted the four Americans to purchase arms.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Fei quietly glared at Hansen, but the latter pretended to chat with those fellow Germans, ignoring Zhuo Fei's eyes and anger at all. The three retired female soldiers were no longer in Zhuo Fei's plan, but after hearing the other three say that they were all nurses and had received a certain amount of military training, Zhuo Fei's face improved. "Ms. Angela, I wonder why the three of you are coming to China? I don't think nurses are veterans. ”

Before the American woman asked by Zhuo Fei could speak, she first gave Zhuo Fei a roll of her eyes, and then said with a smile, "Boss, just like you can speak fluent English, it's no secret that we came to China." In fact, we were invited to China by a Swiss businessman who unfortunately went bankrupt in Shanghai, so we had to earn a living from what we had learned in the army. ”

"What we learned in the military was not just about changing dressings, all three of us had experience of training in the infantry, and if it weren't for the fact that we were women, maybe we would have joined the most elite unit in the U.S. Army." Angela's answer didn't dispel the doubts in Zhuo Fei's heart, but looking at the three women looking back at the men around him, Zhuo Fei knew that he shouldn't underestimate these three women.

Putting the three American women aside for the time being, Zhuo Fei chatted with the remaining 13 people one by one, then rushed to greet them together and asked, "You should all know that China and Japan are at war, although Shanghai is not very close to Nanjing, but I have been worried that Nanjing will also be attacked by the Japanese army." Having said this, Zhuo Fei secretly noticed the reactions of the people in front of him with the corner of his eye.

Hearing Zhuo Fei say that he was worried that the Japanese army would attack Nanjing, among these people recruited by Hansen, only those Italians were in a trance for a moment, but the others, including the three American women, did not change in their expressions in the slightest, which also made Zhuo Fei secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After handing over a few words to Hansen, the latter called the Italians out of the hall, but it was just a waste of some oceans, and Zhuo Fei would never allow unstable factors among the people he had recruited.

"I have one last question, as long as you can reach an agreement with me, then our employment relationship will be established." At this moment, only Zhuo Fei himself and the 11 people who had passed the preliminary selection were left in the hall. "Once the Japanese army attacks Nanjing, your duty is to guard our dwellings, and what I ask is that you only guard our dwellings, but you must not disclose the situation in the dwellings to anyone, at least until I have consented."

The 11 people who were left in the hall by Zhuo Fei looked at each other, and said in their hearts what kind of rules this is, Zhuo Fei is the boss, naturally Zhuo Fei has the final say. Seeing that everyone didn't seem to hear what they meant, Zhuo Fei went on to explain, "I mean, once there is a situation that threatens the safety of this place, and you also receive my order to protect this place, no one is allowed to enter and leave here at will without my order, including the Japanese soldiers who may appear. ”

The five Americans looked at each other and did not answer immediately, but Hansen's German fellows shouted directly, "Boss, don't worry, we Germans are not afraid of Japanese monkeys." As long as we are here, without your orders from the boss, it will not work even if the Japanese monkey bullshit emperor comes, and if you don't let in, you won't let in, and the Japanese monkeys don't dare to offend us Germans. Directly calling the Japanese soldiers monkeys, Zhuo Fei was completely defeated by the outspokenness of these Germans.

"Boss, we're going to accept your offer, but let's talk about it beforehand. If you just want us to be ordinary guards, the conditions you give now are already good, but if you want us to clash with the Japanese soldiers, the conditions you give now are not good. The five Americans got together and whispered for a while, and the elected representative was Angela, who had been talking to Zhuo Fei for the longest time just now, so Angela's words were actually the common meaning of these five Americans.

"No problem, as long as you do what I command, I will give you the treatment you want." He was not angry because the Americans planned to change their treatment, and in Zhuo Fei's view, the danger should be proportional to the gain. "I have prepared a sum of money, and I will purchase a batch of arms and equipment for you in the next few days, if you have any good suggestions, you may as well tell Mr. Hansen directly, of course, this cost will not be counted on your head."

After a brief conversation with the people recruited by Hansen, it was confirmed that all 11 people agreed to stay, and Zhuo Fei immediately agreed to pay them some honorarium in advance, so that they could go out and move freely, and familiarize themselves with the terrain and environment around Guangzhou Road as soon as possible. Zhuo Fei just wanted to hurry up and make all kinds of preparations, but he didn't know that Hansen had been completely confused by his decisions, after all, Zhuo Fei had arrived in Nanjing for less than 4 hours.
