In the face of blood, the British students with hearts like the sun and enthusiasm finally understood their situation, and they began to turn around and run away frantically, no longer having the indomitable momentum they had before!

Because there are too many people and the roads are narrow. Thousands of people crowded together, causing a huge stampede. Endless blood flowed wantonly on the asphalt road, countless young lives quickly disappeared, and the screams and wails were earth-shattering! This is hell.

"Ceasefire!" Zhang Cheng shouted and ordered a ceasefire.

In just a few minutes, the huge demonstrators who had been violently trying to storm the concession and regain the territory back into British hands were completely crushed.

The asphalt road, stained with endless blood, was covered with a layer of corpses, as well as wounded people who were still wailing in pain and begging for help. “help！ help！ The shouts were endless.

The hundreds of soldiers stationed here are veterans of the battlefield in northern Italy and have experienced brutal and bloody battles. If the commander gives an order, they will not hesitate to carry it out. As for other things, they won't care, and it's not their turn to care.

"Go to two platoons to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." After ordering a ceasefire, Zhang Cheng pressed his military hat, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and softly ordered, "Bring back those with guns, whether they are dead or alive." ”

Dozens of heavily armed soldiers left the barricades and rushed over, rummaging through the blood-soaked ground for the wounded. And Zhang Cheng was standing alone behind the barricade squinting and smoking, with an indifferent expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart at the moment.

'Bang! ’

A soft sound sounded, and although it didn't sound like a gunshot, it startled the nervous soldiers at this time. In an instant, hundreds of guns were pointed in the direction from which the sound came.

Zhang Cheng turned around suspiciously, and looked at a reporter holding a magnesium lamp in some surprise who was taking pictures of him not far away!

The soldiers who were close to them rushed forward in an instant, and before the daring reporter could speak, they had already picked up the butts of their guns!

"Don't hit him!" Zhang Cheng shouted to save Qi Bing, otherwise he would definitely lose several teeth by the butt of a gun. Soldiers are the greatest on the battlefield, especially when they are nervous.

"Sir." Qi Bing, who was escorted by several soldiers, hurriedly explained, "I'm a reporter, a reporter from the Times Daily!" ”

Qi Bing was frightened. If he had done it just now, he would have been miserable. And by this time, the camera had been taken away, and several rifles were pointed at him all around. At this moment, the always bold reporter Qi was really a little scared. He's surrounded by real soldiers!

"How are you going to report it?" Zhang Cheng spit out the smoke ring, squinted his eyes at the pale Qi Bing, and asked indifferently.

"Huh?" Qi Bing, whose bodies trembled slightly, looked stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, straightened up and shouted loudly, "The chief led his troops to bravely resist the armed personnel who attacked the sacred land, and defended the territory and honor of the empire!" He is a model for soldiers! ”

Zhang Cheng hooked the corners of his mouth, motioned to the soldiers on the side to return the camera to Qi Bing, and said softly, "Another one." ”

"Huh?" After taking the camera, Qi Bing, who was still a little dizzy, looked at Zhang Cheng in surprise, unable to understand what he meant.

"I'll pose and you will take another photo, you have to take it well, reflecting the temperament of the emperor, understand?" Zhang Cheng threw away the cigarette casually and said indifferently.

"Yes, sir. Be sure to shoot well! I studied photography in college. Qi Bing secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly adjusted the angle to take another photo of Zhang Cheng. Behind Zhang Cheng is a barricade, and outside the barricade is a bright red battlefield! The photo is stunning.

"Don't wait until tomorrow." Zhang Cheng looked at Qi Bing and said indifferently, "Add a special issue, it will be published today, the sooner the better." If your report is not true, I will send troops to smash your newspaper office and dispose of you as a British spy on the spot, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Qi Bing wanted to explain that he was just a journalist and did not have this right. But feeling Zhang Cheng's cold eyes and the killing intent of the soldiers around him, he suddenly shook his head and hurriedly nodded in response. A simple and crude army will never be as easy to talk as a navy that cares about status.

"Sir." After Qi Bing left in a panic, Du Feng came to Zhang Cheng's side, with a look of worry between his eyebrows, "What should I do now?" ”

Unlike those soldiers who only know how to obey orders, as an officer, Du Feng knows very well in his heart that this matter is a big problem! Without going into details, a rough estimate is that at least a few hundred Britons fell under the dense gunfire. And that's not even counting those who were trampled on as they fled. Carrying out an attack on civilians on this scale in peacetime, Du Feng felt that there was no way to explain it at all.

Zhang Cheng glanced at him lightly, and ordered softly, "Clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." You continue to defend the concession here, and if anyone dares to storm the concession, shoot. This is my command. ”

"Yes!" Du Feng looked at Zhang Cheng with a complicated expression, and raised his hand to salute. In any case, Du Feng admires Zhang Cheng. This kind of daring style is what the soldiers appreciate and admire the most. Commanders like Major General Huang Shengjie who abandon their subordinates and flee on their own in times of crisis will be spurned.

"I hope you can get through this, you are a real soldier!" Looking at the back of Zhang Cheng leaving, Du Feng lowered his eyelids slightly and whispered to himself

"A large number of British armed men are infiltrating the concession area, and I am ready to order military control." After returning to his office, Zhang Cheng said to the Governor on the phone.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, an old and tired voice came: "How are you going to solve this matter?" ”

Zhang Cheng hooked the corners of his mouth, chuckled and said, "I'm defending the territory of the empire, and I don't think there's anything that needs to be resolved." ”

"With so many civilian casualties, aren't you afraid of overwhelming accusations from public opinion? Aren't you afraid of being court-martialed? The Governor on the other end of the phone was obviously in a bad mood, and his tone unconsciously carried a stern color.

Zhu Dingsong really didn't expect Zhang Cheng to be so decisive, there were hundreds of people. Originally, the Governor wanted to shoot a warning to the British, and it didn't matter if he even killed a few or a dozen Britons. But he really didn't expect Zhang Cheng to directly use a heavy machine gun! There are so many dead people, you can't cover it even if you want to! This basket is really big enough.

Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a strange look in his eyes, "I'm a soldier, I don't care about public opinion or anything." In the same way, I am defending the territory of the Empire, and I do not think that a soldier who protects the territory of the Empire will be sent to a court-martial. Of course. Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng's tone paused slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then said, "I am a soldier, if I really want to be sent to a military court, then I will definitely obey the order!" This is the duty of a soldier. ”

The microphone in Zhang Cheng's hand fell into a long silence. After a long time, a long sigh came from the microphone: "Do it well." I will help you in any way I can. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Zhang Cheng responded with a smile and then hung up the phone.

Zhang Cheng pressed the phone with his hand, and stood there motionless. Moments later, I picked up the phone again and dialed a non-military number.

Moments later, the call was answered. Neither side reported names, but simply said a few words. Zhang Cheng wrote down the time and address and hung up the phone. took a deep breath, slowly walked to the side of the wine cabinet, opened the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of Xinghuacun and two wine glasses, came to the sofa and sat down, poured the wine, picked up the wine glass and handed it to Wang Yan on the side, "Is the news confirmed?" ”

Wang Yan took the wine glass and took a sip, looked at Zhang Cheng sideways, nodded, and said softly, "It was Zhang Yao's personal butler who personally invited him." Xu Xuan's father has promised to take Xu Xuan to the banquet tonight. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Cheng with a strange expression, and teased with a smile, "It turned out to be a rival in love." ”

Zhang Cheng lowered his eyelids and clenched the hand holding the wine glass hard. The knuckles of the fingers were slightly white from too much force. Although there was no expression on his face, Wang Yan could still feel the anger emanating from Zhang Cheng's body.

Zhang Yao chose to go directly to Xu Xuan's father's route. Faced with the deterrence of the important children of the Zhang family in Songjiang Mansion, Xu Xuan's father had no choice but to agree to Zhang Yao's invitation to the banquet. said it was a banquet, but in fact it was a blind date. In this era, the fate of parents can almost determine the lifelong events of their children!

This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable for a man to be snatched of love. Especially if the woman has not changed her mind. If Zhang Cheng endures this tone, then everyone who knows about this matter will look down on him. Although the reason is difficult to resist, Zhang Cheng is definitely not a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

After a moment of silence, Zhang Cheng put down the wine glass in his hand and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were cold.

Standing up and coming to the desk, Zhang Cheng took out a paper and pen and wrote down a string of words. Turned around and came to the side of the sofa and handed it to Wang Yan, "Go and do things." ”

The paper given by Zhang Cheng was written on the time and route of Zhang Yao's departure for the banquet tonight. The only person who can provide Zhang Cheng with this kind of information is the Zhang family's own people, and their status is definitely not low. Because these were all arranged by Zhang Yao's personal butler, it was impossible for others to know.

Zhang Cheng originally planned to wait until the head of the Zhang family died before making a move, but Zhang Yao's movements were faster and hit the core of the problem, forcing Zhang Cheng to make a choice. He took advantage of the British's attack on the concession and ordered military management in the concession. At the same time, he got detailed information from Zhang Moyang. After that, it's about Wang Yan, a professional.

"Leave it to me." After reading the note quickly, Wang Yan smiled and took out the lighter: "I am a professional." ”
