Chapter 68: The Choice Between the Brave and the Cowardly (Mid-Autumn Festival.)

Major General Huang Shengjie's expression was very unsightly. After returning to the living room, he sat down on the sofa, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it dry with his neck tilted.

'Smack! ’

Putting down the wine glass heavily, Major General Huang Shengjie, whose face was flushed, gasped heavily, his eyes were as cold as a knife!

"What's wrong?" A look of doubt flashed in Zhang Yao's eyes, he leaned over slightly, and asked softly, "What did the Governor say?" ”

Major General Huang Shengjie's face froze, and he bit his lip and said nothing. Raising his hand, he picked up a bottle of precious foreign wine on the table and poured it into the wine glass in front of him, and drank it dry again with a cold face.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Yao shook his head slightly, leaned back on the sofa and stopped asking.

Major General Huang Shengjie, whose eyes were full of anger, lowered his head and looked at the crystal wine glass, his teeth clenched. "Damn Zhu Dingsong, relying on himself to be a royal family, actually bury me like this, one day, one day!" The furious Major General Huang Shengjie picked up the wine glass, poured the wine, and drank it dry!

Cup after cup, when Major General Huang Shengjie's face turned red for the third time to pour wine, a strong hand reached over and pressed the wine glass in his hand.

Major General Huang Shengjie looked at him with angry eyes, Zhang Yao, who was standing beside him, shook his head slightly, his eyes were calm, and he said softly, "What you should do now is not to drink alcohol here, but to go to the entrance of the concession area." Your army is waiting for you. ”

"What's the use of talking about that now?" Major General Huang Shengjie's eyes flashed with anger: "The people who should know about my affairs already know, what is the use of trying to show it now?" The picture makes people laugh. ”

"You're not right." Zhang Yao hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a charming smile, sat down on the sofa next to Major General Huang Shengjie, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and he said softly, "No matter what happened before, as long as you can be on the front line when something happens, no one can say anything at that time." Because you have countless ways to interpret it. But if you stay here and wait until something really goes wrong, then you can't even tell what you want. Can you understand? ”

Major General Huang Shengjie looked at Zhang Yao in a daze, shocked by the depth of this young man's city, and said in surprise, "Is it too late?" ”

"Of course it's time." Zhang Yao squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "If things don't go to the worst step, you can do anything." And if you do shoot and make a big incident, you have to be there. Because then no matter how you deal with it afterwards, you won't be guilty of it, because you still have a nominal boss above you. All the faults can be pushed on his head. ”

After a pause, a strange look flashed in Zhang Yao's eyes, "If his life is really so good, if such a big thing happens, there will be nothing to do, and he can still be rewarded." Then as long as you are on the side, you will naturally not be able to take credit for your credit. This is the real accident, someone is carrying the black cauldron, and the reward can't run away. ”

"You mean, I shouldn't have been here." After a moment of deep silence, Major General Huang Shengjie muttered in a low voice.

Zhang Yao's hand stretched out to the wine bottle paused slightly, and a thick color of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then disappeared. Stretched out his hand to pick up the whiskey, poured wine into the wine glass in front of Major General Huang Shengjie, and said softly, "Drink a glass of wine to suppress the shock, tidy up the instrument and go back quickly." Now that things are like this, it is necessary to develop in the best direction as much as possible. There is no point in dwelling on the previous mistakes. ”

'Wow! With a bang, Major General Huang Shengjie, who was tall and tall, stood up suddenly, and took a drink from the wine glass on the table with wide eyes. "You're right, I shouldn't run away at this time. As the next commander of the garrison in the London Concession, I am obliged to guard the Concession! ”

Major General Huang Shengjie quickly sorted out his appearance, fastened the discipline button on his military uniform, straightened his hair, and wiped the lipstick marks on his face. Zhang Yao on the side chuckled and looked at him, but his heart was full of disdain, "Cowardly as a mouse!" In vain for such a good figure. Whether you can catch up or not depends on your own luck. If you don't make it, then that's the end of your military career. ”

In fact, Major General Huang Shengjie was able to be selected by the Zhang family to focus on training and taking care of him. In addition to the good qualifications and background, there is also a point that the majestic figure full of military spirit was very appreciated by the head of the Zhang family at that time. But no one could have imagined that under such a majestic figure, there was a weak heart like a mouse!

"Young Master!" The gray-haired private butler hurriedly walked into the living room again and looked at Zhang Yao with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yao's heart tightened slightly, and a bad feeling instantly filled his heart. Could something have happened again? At this moment, Zhang Yao's heart suddenly flashed Zhang Cheng's calm face.

"Speak quickly!" Looking at the personal butler with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Major General Huang Shengjie's face suddenly sank. This old man brought all the bad news today, what does it mean to be here and pretend?

Seeing Zhang Yao nodding slightly to himself, the housekeeper paused and said softly, "I just received the news that there was a shooting on Lanzhou Road." ”

'Dangchang! Zhang Yao suddenly stood up from the sofa, and the precious crystal wine glass in his hand fell to the ground. Major General Huang Shengjie on the side seemed to have been suddenly drained of all his energy, and his majestic figure instantly fell soft on the sofa. There was a gray look in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "It's over." ”

Major General Huang Shengjie's original intention was to let Zhang Cheng carry the black pot to resist the pressure. He never thought that this seemingly ordinary young man, who always had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, was really so bold, he really gave the order to shoot?! Isn't he afraid of being criticized by public opinion? The massacre of unarmed civilians is an unforgivable crime among the people who look at outsiders very much! But after Zhang Cheng really did it, he confirmed his identity as a deserter. Even if Zhang Cheng is unlucky, he Huang Shengjie will definitely not have any good fruit to eat!

Zhang Yao stood there stunned, the thoughts in his heart turned a thousand times. He also never thought that Zhang Cheng was so bold that he really dared to shoot!

It's not more than 100 years ago, the British have been working hard for more than 100 years, rapidly building up their power through the Second Industrial Revolution. Britain is not an indigenous tribe in Africa! Didn't Zhang Cheng know that opening fire on civilians would provoke a serious diplomatic conflict?

Suddenly, Zhang Yao's mind flashed the eyes of Zhang Cheng when he was negotiating the acquisition of Pfizer! It was a pair of eyes full of fearlessness and courage and determination!

'Knock knock~~~' The continuous fire of the Maxim heavy machine gun brought out a long gun flame at the muzzle, and the fatal bullet crashed straight into the bodies of the terrified British dozens of meters away at a super high speed. The powerful heavy machine gun bullets hit people's bodies, and they were completely huge holes!

Zhang Cheng raised his hand and pressed his military hat, and looked at the slaughterhouse not far away with cold eyes. I listened to the sound of gunfire and screams and wails, and there was no expression on my face.

Zhang Cheng knew very well in his heart that if he didn't shoot, those British would definitely rush into the concession. was rushed into the concession, that is, Chi Guoguo was slapping the face of the Ming Empire, and he, the commander of the garrison, must be the first person to carry the black pot.

No one cares about his explanations. Any explanation would pale in the face of the successful attack on the concession by the British. Whether he is an agent or not, he Zhang Cheng will be burdened with unshirkable responsibility!

Since there is no way out, let's go out and do it!

In the history of modern time and space, the British have also shot at Chinese students who demanded the resumption of the concession many times, resulting in one bloody case after another. Now that they are attacking the concession, Zhang Cheng will not be relentless.

The British on the opposite side collapsed in an instant.

Since the defeat in the Second Global War, Britain, which was strongly suppressed by the Ming Empire, has never fought again. Over the years, he has been going all out to develop the economy and specialize in science and technology. Although they have achieved proud results in all aspects, they have no practical experience. Even if the British Royal Army trained elites, they are just rookies who have not been on the battlefield. What's more, these young students who have no enthusiasm?

The soldiers of the Royal Army, who were mixed with the students, were also blindfolded. They received an order to provoke the garrison as much as possible, because the British believed that the Ming garrison would not shoot. Demonstrations and storming of the concession happen almost every year, but there has never been a precedent for shooting. No one thought that they would actually encounter fire today, and these soldiers panicked instantly, because his boss had not told them what to do when such a thing happened!

Some brave soldiers immediately picked up their guns and fired back, while others turned and ran away in a panic. But there were so many people crowded here that they were all blocked by countless crowds of people whether they were resisting or fleeing. Of course, many others were shot and fell to the ground.

"Sir, sir!" Du Feng, who was a little pale, came to Zhang Cheng's side, and his voice trembled a little, "Almost, right?" So many civilians died. ”

Du Feng was really worried. This is not a battlefield, and there are no enemy troops on the other side. This is a complete slaughter of Chiguoguo!

Originally, Du Feng thought that it would be very good to intimidate and kill a few leaders. But he didn't expect Zhang Cheng to directly order a full fire. How to account for such a huge casualty?

"Captain Du Feng." Zhang Cheng looked sideways at Du Feng on the side, and his eyes were calm, "Even if the strength continues to decline, even if there is internal fighting. The competition is fierce. But the Ming Empire is still the Ming Empire! You are a soldier of the Empire, and now you are guarding your own homeland, and there are no civilians in front of you. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, sir!" Du Feng's expression was solemn and he stood up and saluted.
