Chapter 221: Untitled
The environment changes people, and the harsh environment can change people even more, and some people will become cowardly, completely frightened, just an animal to be slaughtered; Some people become brave and do things that they would not normally think about.
Yes, what most Chinese people talk about most is their traditional belief that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. They hate devils and traitors.
Although I didn't dare to rise up and resist, I dared to curse them and complain about them in my mouth and heart, which was a way to vent.
The Chinese's forbearance of life and humiliation seems to be a tradition from a long history.
However, judging from the fact that they only care about selfishness and do not care about public affairs, and only talk about fighting the road and do not dare to do it with real swords and guns, there is really no way to admire the Chinese.
But it is really puzzling that Chinese culture produces both stubborn guys and fierce heroes.
Yes, there are problems with China's traditional culture, education system, and concepts, but this is not a problem that Shen Chen and others want to solve, or can solve.
And using killing and blood to alert more people and encourage them to dare to wave their fists and pick up kitchen knives at the devils and traitors who bullied them is a realistic possibility, and they are doing it.
Yes, everyone has their own situation. I want to fly, but I have to see if my body can move.
Even Little Swallow couldn't bear to give up a litter of yellow-billed chicks and fly in the South China Sea by herself.
Family, relatives, these are inseparable bonds, you can't hope that everyone is Yue Wumu, everyone is Wen Tianxiang.
At this point, even Shen Chen and Chu Jiao are no exception, they also have their own fetters and have not completely gotten rid of their worries.
But the dog really admires those heroes who dare to kill devils. Well, there is probably nothing that the old Chinese people do not admire. Moreover, there are still heroes in Shanghai, and he admires them so much that he dares to kill devils.
"I've heard people say that those heroes and heroes can go high and high, fly the eaves and walk the wall, throw a shot, and be able to hit a hundred shots, which is better than the swordsmen in the book."
Looking at the dog's aggressive eyes, Zhang Chengfu smiled and said: "Although it is not as mysterious as you say, the Japanese are not invulnerable, and they will still die if they are shot." ”
"Brother Yang (Zhang Chengfu's pseudonym), can you teach me to shoot?" The dog looked at Zhang Chengfu expectantly. 、
Zhang Chengfu can gradually rise out in Cao Bingsheng's gang, but he has shown a few pistol skills to be convincing, and he is also very good at fighting in conflicts with other gangs.
Looking at the dog's expectant eyes, Zhang Chengfu was silent.
Although this stinky boy has been infected with some ruffians in the upheaval, there is an essential difference between him and the real ruffian hooligan. In particular, his concept of good and evil is the same as that of normal Chinese.
That's right, the dog hates the Japanese, hates the traitor who plays for the tiger, and outside the venue of the fundraiser, he dares to stone the spy of No. 76. saw Xiaoping being bullied in Nanshi, and the dog gritted his teeth with hatred.
Moreover, the dog has nothing to worry about, and only those who do not care are more likely to take risks, just like a person who is so poor that he only has one life left, so what does he care?
Isn't it often the choice of people who are driven to a dead end?
Many Chinese are not unaware that only bombs and pistols can solve everything. But even if the bomb was at hand, they didn't dare to throw it. They will only go to perfunctory, to bow their heads, and to take revenge as too risky, too intense.
But it is precisely because of this that the dog seems immature. If he had a weapon, he would probably do it impulsively, regardless of the consequences.
Zhang Chengfu can teach him to shoot, and he will also teach him to mature faster. But now, he has to test the dog a bit.
…………….
The "Blood Flag Gate" announced in the newspaper that it was responsible for the killing of Ma Xiaotian and the Japanese, which undoubtedly caused a great repercussion and shock
"We also have very little information about this 'Blood Flag Gate'." Li Shijun frowned and said, "I did pay attention to it, it seems to be a very capable and mysterious organization. Judging from the money they extorted, it seems to have nothing to do with the military command and the central command. ”
"Jianghu master? Or is it an organization outside the military and the central command? Ding Motun stroked his forehead, looking very difficult, "I don't have a clue, and I don't know where to start." ”
Although the military and the central command are huge, it is precisely because of their large number of personnel that it is easier to find a breakthrough. There was a mutiny, most likely by pulling up the radish and bringing out the mud, and a series of agents would be implicated.
But the "Blood Flag Gate" is obviously different, if the personnel are small and strong, it will be difficult to deal with.
"In my opinion, focusing on using gang forces and finding out more information may yield results." Li Shijun suggested: "Especially the gangs in the concession area, the personnel are complicated, but they are also pervasive, and the information is very well-informed. ”
"Okay, that's it." Ding Motun looked at Li Shijun and said, "Spend more money, don't be stingy." As long as you are famous, you will not have to worry about the funds. ”
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Li Shijun got up and left and returned to his office. Picking up the phone, he asked his confidant Wu Daoshen to come to the office.
There was not much time, and Wu Daoshen came to the office.
"The 'Blood Banner Gate' needs to be explored more, that is the enemy we have been looking for. Have you never heard of this organization? Because Wu Daoshen was a renegade of the military command, Li Shijun pinned his hopes on him to know some other information.
"'Blood Banner Gate'? I really didn't hear of it when I was in the military. Wu Daoshen looked embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid this has to fall on the gang, they have more news." ”
Li Shijun looked at Wu Daoshen, he had always suspected that there were spies inside No. 76, and he was ventilating outside. But this Wu Daoshen is not like it, but he doesn't dare to believe it completely.
"That's what it means." Li Shijun thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing else to explain, so he waved his hand and said: "You find a few more people from the military commander, inquire from all sides, and do it quickly!" ”
Wu Daoshen turned around and left, leaving Li Shijun alone in the office, he frowned and thought about it, and suddenly felt that his original decision was very correct.
Originally, Li Shijun recruited Ding Motun and promoted Ding Motun as the "front desk manager", which was originally a strategic behavior under the guiding ideology of "as long as you make profits, you don't have to seek fame".
Because Li Shijun felt that it was very risky to take the lead in colluding with the Japanese, and he was likely to become the target of assassination by the Central Committee and the military commanders.
Therefore, letting Ding Motun do what he came out to do, and counting the money at the back is the most ideal division of labor.
Now, although the destruction of the organization left by the Central Union in Shanghai has gained greater appreciation from the Japanese, it has also attracted retaliation.
Of course, Ding Motun should be the primary target, so scared that he didn't dare to go out of No. 76, and even slept at night to hide in the bathroom with steel walls.
Of course, Li Shijun also knew that he was also on the blacklist of assassination, but he was under Ding Motun, so I am afraid that this can be regarded as a chatter.
However, now the situation is different, the French Concession is equivalent to opening the door to No. 76, and he is going to do a big job, striving to squeeze Ding Motun out and become the boss himself.
As for this Blood Banner Gate, Li Shijun guessed that it was a small group of agents of several military commanders or central commanders, and deliberately fabricated an organization in order to divert attention.
……………
Intelligence, some of which are very systematic and intuitive, can see the value at a glance; Others are fragmented and even seem inconsequential.
But a good agent can draw valuable clues from careful analysis and imagination.
Of course, Li Shijun and Ding Motun didn't know how the killers of the "Blood Flag Gate" acted, and how they could guarantee such a high success rate.
So, they imagined a mole that didn't exist and began to investigate.
The spies are not highly qualified, but they are trained. Gang members also fight and kill on weekdays, but when they have to do the work of agents, they are even more amateurish.
Shen Chen didn't know these things yet, and he probably didn't care about them for the time being. He was now amazed at his instincts, the power of his sixth sense, and pondered why.
Intuition is dangerous, he has experienced it in his previous life, but it is not as powerful as it is now, and it is not so accurate.
If he relied on instinctive intuition to avoid danger, and relied on keen observation and careful thinking to find the enemy, it is not very accurate.
Intuition is to skip the logical hierarchy and directly reflect the results into the mind, and the accuracy of the results depends in a large way on one's judgment ability.
So, as a rule, the intuition is "you don't know why", and you don't know if the reaction was correct, and it's hard to explain why it happened.
Shen Chen does not deny that his observation is sharper than ordinary people, and his judgment is more accurate than ordinary people. But this is the result of long-term training and practical experience, and it is the reaction that alertness and habit have soaked into the whole body.
But it suddenly increased to the extent that it surprised him, and that could only be explained by another explanation.
……………
On the bench on the Bund sat a pair of young men and women, the girl was like a half-opened lotus, looking at the surrounding scenery, smiling in her heart, feeling that the gusts of wind were blowing for herself.
The wind blows over, taking away some of the fragrance on his body, which is pleasant, and can send out the fragrance in the early summer of life.
Shen Chen put on a disguise and sat on the bench with Su Mengyu, and no one spoke. But Shen Chen still applauded the girl in front of him who was full of youth.
The sleeves are only to the elbows, and a pair of arms like lotus roots. His hair was half-hidden on his forehead, and his eyes were dark like two lustrous gems. He also looks so light and powerful when he walks, and the red on his cheeks is moist and not a pair of smiles.
If it weren't for this damn war, if it weren't for the hateful Japanese devil, she would be very calm and happy studying, or working, fighting for her future, or holding the boy she likes to fall in love with.
But now, men and women of her age are involuntarily drawn into the whirlpool of this bloody battle.
Shen Chen thought of Chu Jiao, He Xiaoyan, and Ms. Mao again...... And the young man who threw a grenade at the Japanese devils and lay quietly on the side of the road, who were taking on responsibilities that did not belong to them with their lives and blood.
At the time of the national crisis, so many people behaved with enthusiasm and innocence, anger and extremism. Whether it is a young student or a weak scholar, he is not afraid of the assassination of the spies.
Besides, didn't you also find feeling, fun, and the sense of responsibility that should belong to you, and the joy of redemption from the killing that you were tired of in your previous life?
"Brother Shen, Macau is smaller than Hong Kong, right?" Su Mengyu opened his mouth and said: "Portugal is not as strong as the United Kingdom, right?" ”
Shen Chen knew what Su Mengyu wanted to say, but this was the case, Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese, but Macau was safe.
"Macau is smaller than Hong Kong, but small also has small advantages, and it is not as chaotic as Hong Kong." Shen Chen said half-truthfully, half-fabricated: "Besides, passports are easier to get." ”
Su Mengyu thought for a while and said: "There was an article in the newspaper yesterday, saying that when the national disaster is at hand, personal private matters, such as love, such as filial piety, can be ignored, and if it can benefit the country, anything can be put aside." Just like falling in love between a man and a woman, if the country is no longer a country, even if a lover has become a dependent, it is just a pair of slaves who will fall in love. ”
"That's a bit extreme." Shen Chen paused and said: "Whether personal happiness and the future of the country and social responsibility are so incompatible, it's not easy to say. I'm not a saint, but I think that even a person who is dedicated to his country can't think about great things all day long, right? ”
Su Mengyu looked at Shen Chen and asked again, "Then does Brother Shen think it's appropriate to talk about personal happiness at this time?" ”
"It's not a question of appropriateness, is it only meaningful if anything is tied to the state?" Shen Chen said very calmly: "Anyway, I am a layman, and I can't reach the level of the ideal person in the minds of some people. ”
Su Mengyu seemed to get the answer she wanted, and picked up a weed next to the chair casually, and pulled it again and again, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Shen Chen stood up, went to the stall next to him to buy soda and melon seeds, came back and put them between the two, beckoned Su Mengyu, and ate slowly by himself.
Su Mengyu smiled, a little embarrassed to eat, and embarrassed not to eat. I've visited the park and drunk tea before, but what does it smell like, what does it smell like? This time the food seems to have a special meaning.
Shen Chen was just a temptation, both for Su Mengyu and Zhang Renkui. Because Su Mengyu is now often in and out of Zhang Renkui's house, which moved to the public concession, the relationship is very close to the old lady.
But Su Mengyu obviously had some misunderstandings, she was also testing Shen Chen, testing Shen Chen's views on personal happiness. Because she also had questions about why Shen Chen didn't seem to have a close woman.
Not far away, a man and a woman walked. The man is holding the umbrella diligently, and the woman is hiding under the umbrella, quiet and romantic.
Su Mengyu couldn't help but glance at Shen Chen, Shen Chen's eyes also happened to turn around, and when the eyes of the two met together, they fixed and moved away gently.
