To be honest, for the war, He Xiaojun, who has experienced several wars, although he is no longer as scared as when he first came to the present day, but he knows from the information of his previous life that the war is terrible, and he has the idea of escaping from this war-torn land from beginning to end. When he saw that he had successfully escaped, he was suddenly asked to stay, which made him embarrassed.

Who has come from the era of peace, who spares his life? He Xiaojun is no exception, not to mention, there are still several wives waiting for him to love and raise? So, how could he want to stay in this place where he could lose his life at any moment?

He Xiaojun turned his inquiring gaze to Situ Huaibi and the old man Chen Chi, only to see helplessness in their eyes.

The old man Chen Chi, who was familiar with He Xiaojun, added to him that the chambers of commerce in Haishan and neighboring counties had promised not only to purchase the equipment needed for the defense of the two places, but also to invite He Xiaojun out of the mountain by hiring, and the price of hiring him was 10,000 yuan a year.

The annual salary of 10,000 yuan was equivalent to a year's subsidy for a thousand soldiers at that time, and it was enough for the living expenses of an ordinary person's family for a lifetime, which was indeed sky-high, but what He Xiaojun needed at this time was not money, but freedom.

He Xiaojun believes that with his ability, he may not be able to earn an annual income of 10,000 yuan in the future, but at least it can ensure that he and his relatives can live without worry, so he does not value the sky-high salary he gains by risking his life.

He Xiaojun directly asked Situ Huaibi and the others, if they deliberately went abroad, would it have any impact on them and themselves after going abroad?

Situ Huaibi replied that there must be an impact, they don't care, at most they are just guilty of incompetence, but after going abroad, He Xiaojun is different, and may be ostracized by the Chinese outside, especially those from Haishan.

He Xiaojun knew the selfish nature of the Chinese people, and knew that Situ Huaibi's words were true. However, he doesn't care about people's rejection, and when he goes outside, he can go to a place where there are no Chinese to live, then there is no rejection.

However, when He Xiaojun set his eyes on his father-in-law and saw him with a worried face, he knew that he couldn't stay if he wanted to.

If Mayor Xie does not handle the matter explained by the provincial government, of course, his future will be worrisome, and this matter is the strong will of the overseas Chinese group representing the interests of the majority of the people in Haishan, and if He Xiaojun does not stay, Mayor Xie's public opinion and prestige will fall rapidly, bringing difficulties to his management.

Obviously, Mayor Xie, the old fritter of officialdom, has also seen this, although his lifelong intention is to be a good official for the benefit of the people, but the price is his fast son-in-law, so he is in a dilemma.

However, Mayor Xie's embarrassment is only for a while, he only has two daughters, and the two daughters like He Xiaojun at the same time, that is to say, he only has one son-in-law, so of course he has to focus on his daughter's sustenance.

What's more, He Xiaojun will still be his parents' backer in the future? Therefore, Mayor Xie decided that he would rather give up his future than prevent He Xiaojun from going overseas.

After Situ Huaibi and Old Man Chen Chi also listened to everyone's opinions, He Xiaojun fell silent.

He Xiaojun first recalled the history of the sea and seamount in the past few years.

Of course, after experiencing the tragedy of Chen Cun and the great victory of Chen Village, which are not events in historical records, He Xiaojun no longer trusts the history he knows well, but after all, there is history to sign, and something can be analyzed from it.

He Xiaojun at least knew from history that the Japanese army paid limited attention to Haishan, a place that was not a strategic location, and several invasions were mainly passing-by looting, and the number of troops invested was not much, so in the past few years of the War of Resistance, the number of Japanese troops who set foot in Haishan was not large, and the war was extremely limited.

Now, there are still five years to go before the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and in these five years, if weapons and financial resources can support it, it seems that it is not very difficult to defend a sea and mountain.

The new settlement area that He Xiaojun and Mayor Xie have set up this time is a peninsula basin, and there is no road to enter that place by land, but only by sea or sky. To hold such a place, only a few anti-aircraft weapons and a few artillery pieces for coastal defense were needed.

If the people of Haishan and neighboring counties were to concentrate in this peninsula basin with abundant aquatic products and fertile land during the years of the war, and then train a group of militiamen who were familiar with military skills and who were both productive and military skills, and let them take turns to take up the task of arranging defense, then the resources and conditions for defense would be complete.

Thinking of this, He Xiaojun resolutely said to the three people present that he decided to stay, not to go abroad first, and to assist his father-in-law in protecting the sea and mountains.

After listening to He Xiaojun's words, although Mayor Xie and the three of them were unexpected, they were simple people at that time, so they were not too surprised, but several people thought in their hearts that He Xiaojun, a friend, would go abroad to avoid being in a dangerous place.

He Xiaojun stopped the persuasion of several people, saying that he didn't want a few people to be difficult, let alone offend the people in his entire hometown because of this, and he was sure to protect himself.

In fact, there are many factors in He Xiaojun's decision that are caused by the heroism complex in his heart.

People who are military fans, is there anyone who doesn't have a hero complex? Now that he has this opportunity to play to his heart's content, and he has fought a few games with the Japanese to prove that the murderous Japanese army is not invincible, He Xiaojun decided to stay, not only for his father-in-law, but also for the people of his hometown.

However, He Xiaojun, who was steady and spared, since he decided to stay, of course, was thinking about his own safety, so he came up with his own conditions, that is, to let the Chamber of Commerce purchase all the equipment he needed in foreign countries and raise enough military funds before he accepted this important task of protecting the seamount.

Seeing that He Xiaojun's mind had been decided, Mayor Xie and the other three had no choice but to start preparations for the defense according to his wishes.

Mayor Xie first replied to all walks of life that he had already asked for the news of the "God of War", and then immediately began to organize the construction of new settlements and relocate people from the two counties there in batches.

Situ Huaibi and the old man Chen Chi immediately telegraphed to Jinshan, and He Xiaojun began to recruit troops, he had to establish his own armed team first, and then train this armed force into a strong army that was good at defending and attacking.

After receiving that He Xiaojun, the famous "God of War", was willing to serve as the city defense work of Haishan, the military and political leaders of the provincial government breathed a sigh of relief.

The commander of the theater was overjoyed, and conferred on He Xiaojun the rank of commander of the anti-Japanese detachment in the Haishan area, and awarded him a fictitious title equivalent to the regimental level. The provincial government was also overjoyed and gave him a fictitious title equivalent to the deputy county magistrate.

In this way, He Xiaojun, who was originally a flat-headed commoner, not only became a military and political official overnight, but also was put in a position that he could not have imagined in his previous life.

He Xiaojun, who has never been an official, faces these false titles that do not have any benefits, and he is fake if he is not vain. However, he is calm and knows that his life is important, and he also knows that these false titles will be invalid when they expire, so he makes full use of these false titles to seek benefits for himself and his hometown, for example, let the war zone send people and weapons to him, let the provincial government allocate funds to himself, and so on.
