At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaoxia got up as usual, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then picked up his briefcase and hurried out, preparing to go to work in a foreign company in the eastern area of the concession. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Xiaoxia is a doctor of chemical engineering who returned from studying in the United States, and unlike those international students who admired Western civilization and stayed in the United States after completing their studies, Li Xiaoxia had a love for Chinese civilization from the bottom of his bones, so after graduating as a postdoctoral fellow, he did not hesitate to refuse the high-paying offer of his alma mater and resolutely returned to China.

However, as soon as Li Xiaoxia returned to Shanghai, he had an illness, when he was sick, the Battle of Songhu broke out, followed by the fall of Shanghai, and then Li Xiaoxia was stranded in the concession, in order to make a living, Li Xiaoxia had to find an errand in a foreign company dealing in chemical products, and then delayed to this day.

Now, Li Xiaoxia has the heart to serve the country, and I don't know where to go?

The Nationalist Government has withdrawn to the southwest, and the Nationalist Army has also retreated to the hinterland of Central China, and he is a weak scholar, and it is impossible for him to go through thousands of miles of enemy-occupied areas to defect.

Suddenly, the unnutritious advertisements broadcast on the radio suddenly stopped, and then a pleasant female voice sounded: "Now insert a piece of news, an important declaration has been announced by the patrol camp in the western area of the concession." ”

Hearing this, everyone held their breath.

Diners who had been eating breakfast at a roadside stall also stopped their chopsticks.

After a moment of silence, a low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded over the radio.

"Compatriots in Shanghai, I am Xie Yuan, the battalion commander of the patrol battalion."

"In recent days, the bandits of the Broadway Building, pretending to be the Axe Gang, have wantonly and openly looted in the western area of our concession, which has seriously undermined the public order in the western area of the concession and seriously threatened the safety of all compatriots in the western area of the concession.

"As the supreme commander of the patrol camp, I solemnly declare here today that our patrol camp has decided to declare an all-out war on Broadway Towers, and we will do whatever it takes to kill the enemy and protect the country by any means necessary! From today onwards, our patrol camp will fight with Broadway buildings day and day, all the time, until death! ”

"In addition, I hereby strongly appeal to the veterans of the National Army and people with lofty ideals who are stranded in Shanghai to stop standing idly by, bravely stand out, and fight the invaders and national scum to the end! I, Xie Yuan, will welcome the arrival of people with lofty ideals at the patrol camp, and I will also fight side by side with you until the horse leather shrouds and dies for the country! ”

Hearing the words "Horse Leather Shroud" and "Die for the Country", Li Xiaoxia's blood burned at once.

The tram came, as long as he stepped on the tram, he would be taken to the eastern area of the concession, and then he would start another day of busy and boring work, but at the moment before getting on the train, Li Xiaoxia suddenly stopped, the tram stopped for a moment and quickly started again, slowly moving forward along the tracks, but Li Xiaoxia never chased it.

It wasn't until the tram completely disappeared from the street that Li Xiaoxia suddenly clenched his fist and made a decision.

In the next moment, Li Xiaoxia threw the briefcase in his hand on the street without hesitation, then turned around and left, going straight to the patrol camp in the western area of the concession.

Half an hour later, Li Xiaoxia came to the station of the patrol camp.

The gatehouse on the right side of the gate of the patrol camp has been changed into a recruiting office, and more than a dozen young people are queuing up at the window, Li Xiaoxia did not hesitate and stood at the end of the line.

A moment later, it was Li Xiaoxia's turn.

"Name." The veteran behind the window looked up and glanced at Li Xiaoxia.

"Li Xiaoxia." Li Xiaoxia replied, "Muzi Li, Xiao who is not a descendant, Xia of summer." ”

The veteran glanced up at Li Xiaoxia again, quickly wrote his name, and asked, "Where is your hometown?" ”

"Harbin, Jiamusi." When it came to his hometown, the expression on Li Xiaoxia's face darkened.

The veteran looked up at Li Xiaoxia for the third time and asked again, "What are your specialties?" ”

"Specialty?" Li Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment when he heard this, do you still need specialties to be a soldier? But in the next moment, Li Xiaoxia immediately reacted and said, "I can make bombs, is this a specialty?" ”

"You can make bombs?" The veteran's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Hmm." Li Xiaoxia nodded and said, "I studied chemical engineering." ”

"College students?" The veteran's eyes brightened even more.

Li Xiaoxia bowed slightly, and said, "Forget it." ”

"Follow me." After the veteran finished speaking, he stood up, handed over the registration work to another veteran next to him, and then took Li Xiaoxia straight into the barracks.

(Dividing Line)

At the same time, Xu Rui was once again called to the Nakamura agency by Kagesa Zhenzhao.

"Liang Sang, did you listen to the radio?" Kagesa pointed to the radio on the table.

"Broadcasting?" Xu Rui knew it, but he pretended to be stupid on his face, and said blankly, "What broadcast?" ”

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao shook his head and said, "Just now, the patrol camp declared war on your Broadway building. ”

"A declaration of war?" Xu Rui's eyebrows raised sharply, and then said with a smile, "Your Excellency Dazuo, we have an old saying in China, called a dog that can bite people does not bark, and a dog that can bark does not bite people. ”

Kagezo Zhenzhao said: "I just remind you, don't take it lightly, the strength of the patrol battalion is still very strong, and in the last rescue operation, we suffered a big loss under them, and we lost three and a half squadrons!" Seventy-six was also hit hard, and he still hasn't been able to recover. ”

Xu Rui hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you Your Excellency Dazuo for your concern, we will definitely be careful." ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao waved his hand and said, "By the way, it's been a few days since you started looting the Broadway Building, so far, how much benefit have you made?" ”

When Xu Rui heard this, he immediately complained: "Your Excellency Dazuo, I haven't reaped much benefit at all. ”

"Nani?" Ying Zuo Zhenzhao obviously didn't believe it, and frowned, "Not much good? ”

"Your Excellency, it's really not much good." Xu Rui said with a bitter face, "I also paid some gambling money in those gambling halls, but it was only forty or fifty thousand yuan when I was full, and it was far from enough money to pay pensions to the fallen brothers, and I was worried that I didn't know where to find money." ”

"Liang Sang, you're not interesting enough." Kagesa said, "You want to hide your secrets? ”

"Secrets?" Xu Rui swore with a gambling curse, "Your Excellency Dazuo, if I dare to hide my secrets, let me ......"

"Don't tell me it's useless." Ying Zuo Zhenzhao interrupted Xu Rui and said angrily, "You tied up so many meat tickets from the big smoke house in the western area of the concession, what about me when I am blind?" These meat tickets add up to two or three hundred, even if each meat ticket only extorts five thousand oceans, it is still one million oceans! ”

Xu Rui said: "Your Excellency Dazuo doesn't know, these meat tickets haven't been redeemed yet, where did the money come from?" ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao frowned and said, "You have caught so many meat tickets, and there is no family member to ransom people?" ”

"That's not it, someone is still going to redeem it." Xu Rui hurriedly said, "But the price is too low, I didn't agree, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, so I'll stay up like this." ”

"Okay." Ying Zuozhen Zhao snorted, and said, "Even if the meat ticket hasn't been redeemed yet, but you grabbed the big family from No. 108 Xiafei Road yesterday, you can't rely on this, right?" You give me an honest explanation, how much did you rob? ”

Xu Rui said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, I also wanted to report this to you, the one who robbed No. 108 Xiafei Road yesterday was not my person at all, I was wrongfully killed!" I don't know which bastard pretended to be us. ”

"Nani? It wasn't your people who did it?! Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao's eyes immediately widened, and he glared at Xu Rui viciously, as if he wanted to see from Xu Rui's eyes whether he was lying.

Xu Rui looked at Ying Zuo Zhenzhao very calmly.

Xu Rui really has a clear conscience about this, and he really didn't rob No. 108 Xiafei Road.

After a while, the fierceness in Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's eyes gradually disappeared, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao believed that Liang Wuyi should not have lied in this matter, because if he lied, it would be easy to be exposed.

After thinking about it, Kageza Zhenzhao said again: "I will let people investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

As soon as Kage Zuo Zhenzhao's voice fell, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

"Maxi Maxi." Kage Zuo Zhenzhao grabbed the phone and said, and then, his face immediately became gloomy.

After a while, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao put down the phone and said to Xu Rui: "Liang Sang, the revenge of the patrol camp has begun, but I didn't expect their revenge methods. ”

"Really?" Xu Rui naturally knew, but on the surface, he asked blankly, "Your Excellency Dazuo, what's going on?" ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said: "The patrol camp has just attacked eleven big tobacco houses on Suzhou Road at the same time, not only robbing all the materials and money on the cabinet of the tobacco houses, but also abducting more than 100 smokers! ”

"What?" Xu Rui was dumbfounded, "The patrol camp even learns from us?!" ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was silent, but he suddenly had a trace of remorse in his heart, he should have thought of letting the Broadway Building loot the black industry in the western area of the concession, then the patrol camp responsible for the security of the western area of the concession could naturally loot the black industry in the northern area of the concession and the eastern area of the concession in turn, such a war would be fought in the end, there could be no winner, only both sides could lose.

Perhaps Broadway should not have been allowed to provoke this war, but now there is no way back.

After a while, the adjutant Ryota Kawamoto walked in and said with a pause: "Your Excellency, the gendarmerie has been assembled!" ”

"Yo Si." Ying Zuo Zhenzhao grabbed the saber from the knife holder and walked out, and said to Xu Rui before going out, "Liang Sang, you also go to Suzhou Road with me to have a look." ”
