Most of the São Paulo train station has been abandoned by the train companies, and only in the small area of the warehouse is there still a lot of people in train station uniforms. They carry weapons and defend themselves in various level positions.

When Paul 61 Smith, the owner of the São Paulo Railroad, arrived at the warehouse with his escort, the railroad employees breathed a sigh of relief. They hurriedly led Paul 61 Smith to the army waiting in front of the warehouse to carry the munitions.

"Mr. Smith, we were ordered to move the guns from the warehouse?" The leader of the military was also standing next to the head of the National Guard, both of whom looked quite anxious, the battle on the front line was fierce, and they were in urgent need of equipment.

Paul 61 Smith looked serious, and he said seriously: "Gentlemen, you have no problem carrying equipment. But I'd like to ask, have you contacted the National Guard in Minneapolis across the street? I contacted him and they also need weapons and equipment. The Chinese have already crossed the river. ”

"Huh?" The personnel of the army were stunned, they did not expect what was happening on the other side of the river, and the leader of the militia group had some sudden realization.

"Well, we're in charge of transporting some of the guns to the other side of the river, and you'll be in charge of the warehouses where the weapons are kept." Paul 61 Smith wasted no time in making such a suggestion.

"Shall we take care of it?" The army representatives were stunned. They were only here to pick up equipment, and it was good to take over the warehouse, but it didn't make sense for them to take over such a warehouse entirely.

The head of the National Guard's eyes lit up, "I think it's more convenient to do this." ”

Seeing that the head of the National Guard agreed with the move, Paul 61 Smith asked, "Do you have a seal?" ”

Hearing this, Tom 61 McQuay, the head of the National Guard, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "I'll send someone to fetch it right away." ”

When the two sides reached an agreement, Paul 61 Smith sent someone to open the warehouse, and transported some of the guns and ammunition from the warehouse to the river. Representatives of the army waited anxiously for the National Guard to rush back to get the seal. Seeing boxes of weapons and ammunition being shipped out of the warehouse, the army representatives became even more uneasy. He asked Paul 61 Smith, "Sir, is this too much luck?" ”

"Follow me." Paul 61 Smith walked into the warehouse as he spoke, and the army representative followed him in, only to see that the boxes of weapons and ammunition were piled up in the huge warehouse, and the parts that had been shipped out were nothing compared to these.

As soon as the representatives of the federal army were relieved, the adjutant of the National Guard had already rushed back with his seal. A number of documents are written, signed, sealed, and handed over. The warehouse area was given to the federal army and the National Guard. And Paul 61 Smith also asked the head of the National Guard to write a letter to the governor, the mayor, and the Minneapolis National Guard across the river about the National Guard's takeover of the train station warehouse during the war.

"Please contact me if you need my help." As he escorted a large shipment of weapons and ammunition out of the warehouse area, Paul 61 Smith said earnestly to Tom 61 McQuay, the head of the National Guard.

"Don't worry." Tom 61 McWare said a little impatiently.

Paul 61 Smith left the warehouse area with interest, and when he walked out for a distance, Paul 61 Smith looked back and saw that the National Guard had not only entered the warehouse where the weapons were kept, but they had also opened other warehouses to search. From a distance, the railroad warehouse guards watched the actions of the National Guard in a daze.

Turning his head, Paul 61 Smith snorted coldly. He asked his nephews to carry some of the weapons to the river and load them onto rented boats, while he escorted some of them straight to the bank not far away.

The president of the bank is Paul 61 Smith's brother-in-law, and this middle-aged man who has begun to lose his head has begun to lose his head After seeing that the person who came in from the small door was Paul 61 Smith, he breathed a sigh of relief while wiping the sweat from his head with a handkerchief.

"Pack up all the cash and take it away." Paul 61 Smith didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.

"Where do you put all that cash?" The head of the bank is directly concerned about this issue.

Ordered to open the wooden box containing the weapon, and took out a rifle from it, and Paul 61 Smith wiped the gun oil off it with a gun cloth, and said, "Put it all in these boxes." As long as you have money, just bring some clothes or something. Don't bring anything that is inconvenient to sell. ”

"I know that." Again, the president of the bank couldn't help but wipe his head with a handkerchief. More than two hours ago, he had to get a call from Paul 61 Smith. At such a time when the war is in chaos, or when the Chinese suddenly appeared, it is not easy to make such a determination. After wiping the sweat, the president asked with a bitter face: "Do you think the Chinese can really beat São Paulo?" ”

"Would they have had to go so far if they hadn't taken down Sao Paul?" Paul 61 Smith asked rhetorically. The idea of the bank president is a very common idea, if the Chinese take São Paulo, everything in the lost bank will naturally fall into the hands of the Chinese. Those in power in the United States, of course, will think that all the losses are caused by the Chinese. In case the Chinese fail to take São Paulo, these things will naturally come to light when the situation calms down, and then the bank president will have to bear too much responsibility. In the face of great opportunities and risks, the bank president is personally undecided.

"If the Chinese can take St. Paul and Minneapolis, the whole of Minnesota will be in their hands." There is also a risk of collapse of hundreds of thousands of troops at the front. Why do you think they can't take it? Paul 61 Smith asked calmly. But his hooked nose was so oppressive that the calm looked more like a threat to the bank's president.

"What if they just flipped a shot and wanted our front-line troops to retreat?" The bank president wiped his head again and said unconfidently.

His own indisputable brother-in-law actually said such stupid things, and Paul 61 Smith's voice finally caught fire sternly, "The Chinese have occupied the entire West Coast." In this situation, you actually think that their goal is to make our front-line troops retreat? You must be thinking of destroying our front-line troops! ”

The president of the bank was stunned, and the son of Paul 61 Smith behind William 61 Smith was also stunned. He was fully involved in his father's plan, and the São Paulo railway company was in debt, and even now that the war had begun and the train traffic was booming, it was impossible to survive. He thought that his father was going to play the trick of the golden cicada shelling, taking advantage of the war to leave the basically hopeless company and run away, and the creditor could naturally ask the Chinese who occupied the railway station to collect debts. Unexpectedly, Dad's judgment was actually based on the inevitable defeat of the United States in this battle.

Although there were a thousand words in his heart, William did not speak. This was not the time to discuss big things, and the president of the bank seemed to be convinced, and he immediately took people to the vault to carry the money. With the money, with the weapons, and the personnel and backbone of the Smith family, and that ship. Once they were able to escape from São Paulo, and once São Paulo fell, the Smith family would be able to recover immediately. A decisive approach can turn a catastrophe into a huge opportunity, and William 61 Smith feels that his perspective on the world has suddenly become clearer.

There are no large numbers of boxes for evacuation, and there is no softness in sight. In less than three hours, a group of Smith family and perimeter personnel escorted a large number of weapons and ammunition to the riverside dock. A large boat with a capacity of more than 200 people was already waiting at the pier, and when they heard that it was going to transport weapons to the other side of the river, the dock personnel also gave the green light.

As soon as the weapons and supplies were loaded onto the ship, gunfire rang out along the riverbank. During the flooding of the Mississippi River, the river was most likely to overwhelm the buildings on both sides of the riverbank, so there were few buildings on the riverbank. The Chinese came through here to kill.

"Mr. Smith, get on board." The dock personnel hurriedly shouted.

"Thank you!" Paul 61 Smith said politely to the dock staff.

The big man of the city of São Paulo boarded the boat, and the ship, which had already lit a fire, quickly lifted anchor and gradually left the riverbank. The dock staff felt that Paul 61 Smith looked very calm and calm, and this bravery really impressed the somewhat panicked dock staff. After the boat leaves the riverbank dock, it merges with the more clever boats. At this time, several shells came from the Chinese army, and although they failed to hit any ships, they also exploded several columns of water on the turbulent river.

The boats were supposed to go across the river, but they had to reluctantly go down the river to avoid the Chinese army.

"The Chinese are coming!" "The Chinese called!" In the midst of an exclamation, the dock personnel immediately dispersed.

"Oh God!" The bank president, who was standing on the deck, ran to the stern of the ship and leaned against the fence to look at the pier. The vultures were soon nowhere to be seen, while the Chinese soldiers in olive-green uniforms quickly occupied the docks, some strange machines dragging a few cannons up the stone docks and began to quickly set up.

"Oh God!" The president of the bank really couldn't say anything other than that, just a few minutes, just a few minutes. If there is a slight delay, the group, including the bank president, will be stuck in the dock and unable to escape. And now, a team carrying more than a hundred people, enough weapons and ammunition to arm these people, and a lot of cash is on this ship. And the ship had escaped the attack of the Chinese army and went down the Mississippi River straight to Lake Superior.

Although the president of the bank did not believe in God, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart at this time, this ship TM is just like Noah's Ark.

However, this happiness did not last for a few minutes, and the bank president suddenly heard someone exclaim from the overtime worker. Turning his head, he saw that from the north, that is, in the direction in which the ships were heading, a group of Chinese soldiers was marching along the river bank towards the port. The Chinese's encirclement of São Paulo is now complete.

On board, the bank president did not care about the fate of São Paulo, he cared whether the Chinese would attack the ship. At this moment, Paul 61 Smith calmly ordered: "Let the boat drive along the other side of the river, away from the Chinese." ”

The bank president listened to this tone as if discussing the way to the car, and the whole person was a little confused. But on second thought, he had to admit that this was the only thing he could do at the moment. The ships were civilian ships without the slightest weapon on them. There is really no other choice than to stay away from the Chinese. But giving orders in such a calm voice doesn't feel right no matter how you listen to them.

Ignoring his brother-in-law's attitude, Paul 61 Smith breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stepped off the deck and into the cabin.

It is true that the Chinese forces have no intention of attacking the ships along the river, and the main focus is on the convergence of the two teams in the north and south at the pier to block the enemy's retreat route.

As soon as the dock was taken, the troops immediately sent a telegram to the command, "The dock has been captured." ”

Many people in the headquarters were very happy about this, and some did not express their excitement. The chief of staff, Colonel Qi Rui, was one of them, he subconsciously frowned, and after a while, Qi Rui spoke: "Don't you want to stick to the plan of encircling three and missing one?" ”

Those happy comrades were a little stunned, and those who were not excited couldn't help but nod slightly.
