Winter snow falls, on the sidewalks of Changchun New Town, although the residents and businesses along the street will sweep away the snow on the sidewalks in front of the door, but because the sky is still snowing, there is still a little light snow on the ground, but compared to the thick ice and snow elsewhere, it is much better.

Wu Lingkai, who was wearing a thick woolen coat and a winter hat, listened to the neat footsteps behind him, and took the initiative to give way to the side of the road, as expected-a row of more than a dozen children of different ages were lining up towards the tram stop in the distance, and not far ahead, there were still a few children standing in front of the door waiting to join the queue.

For these children, everything seems to be a habit, waiting at the door, joining in the queue and even behaviors such as not spitting, but in reality, this habit is taught over and over again in school, and of course, even for adults, police batons and fines can change their habits.

As a journalist, Wu Lingkai may have punished those police for their violent behavior to maintain public health and order, but he has to admit that the authority of the police guarantees the prestige of the law, and the widespread armed fights between villagers in the interior and the armed fights between immigrants in the northeast in the old days have disappeared invisibly. As a result, the people do not believe in the rule of law at all, and therefore the concept of law-abiding in society has never been improved. This phenomenon did not gradually improve until the establishment of the province with the strong intervention of the police, and it can be said that the law-abiding concept of Northeast society is completely due to the authority of the police.

Of course, as a reporter, Wu Lingkai did not fail to see the actual "cruelty" behind the strong power of the police -- during the period of suppressing bandits at the beginning of the founding of the province, the police mobile unit issued a punishment order for suppressing bandits in accordance with the Governor's Office. Not only did they directly execute a large number of Tufi, but they also punished many people suspected of being bandits as bandits, and executed them on a large scale, sometimes hundreds of people were combined and executed en masse at the edge of the city. This shocking punishment also has a strong deterrent effect. So that new and old immigrants no longer dare to go against the authority of the police or turn into bandits.

Over the past decade, the authorities have applied the laws they had just learned from the West to the three eastern provinces, replacing the traditional Qing Laws. Until now, the authority of the criminal police has been almost absolute in the Northeast. Although the punishment imposed in the Northeast may seem harsh, the power of the police allows them to arrest so-called "lawbreakers" at any time. On the other hand, judges are basically honest and have a legal basis, and they cannot arbitrarily bully others. The law is grim. However, it is trustworthy, and the people of the three provinces and even the people of North Korea truly understand the authority of public power.

Even Wu Lingkai, who has a lot of complaints about the harshness of the police, sometimes has to admit that it is the authority of the police that guarantees the smooth implementation of the administration in Northeast China and the stability of the current society in Northeast China.

When he walked to the intersection, Wu Lingkai happened to meet two patrol policemen. The patrolman in winter clothes looked a little bloated, but when it came to the wrong shoulders. Wu Lingkai was surprised to see that the two patrol officers were not the same as Pingsu, the baton on the right side of the belt was fastened on the left side, but there was a black holster on the right side.

Pistol!

It is not a new thing for the police to be equipped with pistols, in fact, the 9mm Shenzao revolver used by the police is still a famous brand, and the revolver with the bullet nest opened from the side is not only popular with the Northeast military police. It was also welcomed by the people, and even Wu Lingkai bought one himself -- although guns are not banned in the northeast, and even according to Xiangjian's law, citizens of the three provinces over the age of 16 can legally own guns, but anyone who buys a gun must obtain the consent of the local police chief, who can only buy a gun after he has issued a gun license. And the fact that it is not an obligation for the police chief to issue a gun license has left only a small number of people with a gun license - for many newcomers, whether it is security or legal issues that make it impossible for them to carry a gun.

However, Wu Lingkai is not very interested in whether the 9mm revolver on the waist of the patrol officer is an old gun eliminated by the army, or a new gun purchased by the police department, the reason why he will feel surprised is because in the past, the patrol police almost never equipped with guns, only the patrol officers who rode bicycles or horses will be equipped with guns, and this kind of "patrol foot" patrolling in the town is often not equipped with guns, but why are they all equipped with guns today?

Obviously, the two patrol officers could feel the curiosity in Wu Lingkai's sight, and in the face of the curious eyes, they even looked a little proud, if it weren't for the restrictions of the equipment regulations, I am afraid that they would all be eager to put the gun in front of their waists, so that everyone could see the revolver on their waists, this was not their own purchase, but a weapon issued by the bureau.

Few people may be able to notice the pride of the police, and even some consular officials in Northeast China will not notice this detail, but for Wu Lingkai, he is keenly aware of what secret seems to be hidden behind this change, and for reporters, this secret is a big news.

"Edit, dare I say, something big must have happened!"

As soon as he entered the newspaper office, Wu Lingkai rushed into the editor's office and shouted loudly.

"On the way here, the patrolmen I met were all carrying guns, I asked other people, and other places too, yesterday the patrol was only holding a stick, but today they are all holding guns! Something must have happened! ”

The sensitivity of the reporter made Wu Lingkai aware of the news behind the police's guns. Perhaps, there is press control in the Northeast, but it does not mean that there is no press and freedom, at least the newspaper has always had the responsibility of "supervision".

"The police already have guns! What's so strange about that! ”

Without waiting for Wu Lingkai to finish speaking, Fang Zhijing, who raised his head, lifted his glasses, and looked at Wu Lingkai as if he was making a fuss about him, all of which looked like he had never seen the world. Didn't he know that this was a taboo as a journalist?

"How can it not be strange that the security in our Northeast has been better every year than a year, and the police were not equipped with guns in the past, why are they equipped with guns now? Edit, there must be news behind this! ”

What Wu Lingkai said was telling the truth, there were patrol officers patrolling day and night in the city, and there were strong regiments in the countryside to cooperate with the police to be responsible for the safety of the village. In addition, the heavy punishment of heavy labor on local ruffians and hooligans has ensured that the public order environment in the northeast is getting better and better, and bandits have not even been heard of for many years in many places.

"News?"

I took off my glasses and wiped them with a cloth. The corners of Fang Zhijing's lips lifted slightly.

"I guess the police department will definitely say that the finances have been abundant in the past few years, so they will equip the police with guns, well, this is not big news!"

Compared to Wu Lingkai's sensitivity, Fang Zhijing didn't react at all. If you have money, you will always improve your equipment, just like a newspaper, if the newspaper can now have a circulation of tens of thousands more, maybe. He would also add new equipment, such as a new typewriter.

"Edit, you give me two days, I'm sure there's ...... behind this"

The editor-in-chief's words did not make Wu Lingkai give up, he still believes that equipping guns is not just about improving equipment. Sometimes, some unknown details often hide a lot of big news.

"Alright, Zinan. You'd better grasp the news in front of you first......"

Wu Lingkai's persistence did not have any effect, at least for the editor-in-chief. It was completely meaningless, and the editable blocking did not stop his desire for the big news behind it, and in the following days, Wu Lingkai was busy with the interviews assigned by the newspaper, and at the same time, he also tried his best to explore the big news behind the police guns, and as the investigation deepened. He found himself seemingly touching on a big secret.

What could this be the secret?

Every time he thought of that secret, Wu Lingkai would feel a little short of breath, although as the investigation deepened, he realized that maybe he should stop, but the reporter's curiosity. But he tended to investigate step by step, and touched an unknown truth step by step.

"The man shoulders the responsibility of the family and the country, and calmly goes to the battlefield. Short-clothed horses go out of the countryside, and the people with trumpets and bronze drums say goodbye. On the battlefield, there is a great enemy, and the battle robe is dripping with blood. Pray for death in battle, ask yourself about your life and glory, and throw your head for the country......"

The singing was stirring in the hotel, and hundreds of officers and students who looked a little immature in appearance roared desperately in the hotel, so that the shopkeepers of the hotel all looked at these officers and students with nervous expressions, for fear that these drunk officers and students would become drunk and smash his hotel.

But this is obviously superfluous, and whether it is a military officer or a soldier, they are more afraid of military law and the gendarmerie than the common people are afraid of the law and the police, and they are at most drunk and singing loudly, and they will not smash them like splashes.

The sound of singing in his ears made Wu Lingkai, who had been all the way to the army school, slightly stunned, and he looked from upstairs and could see that the young officers seemed to be drunk, they were either standing or sitting, singing in their hoarse voices, and at this moment, the originally passionate singing became a little low.

"A-Niang said to her children, my son should not love you for the country. The beloved wife persuaded her husband to go on a journey and generously sent her husband on a journey. The battlefield rushed to kill and trap the enemy, and the glory of the battle was great. Pray for death in battle, the army will not return to triumph, and do not steal your life and ...... the country by mistake."

The "Song of Prayer for Death in Battle" in his ears made Wu Lingkai's expression change slightly, he had never been a soldier, but it didn't mean that he couldn't understand the tragedy in the lyrics of these soldiers, although they seemed to be drunk, although their singing voices were a little hoarse, and they could even be said to be out of tune, but it was difficult to hide the tragedy and absoluteness.

"The peach blossoms are bright in March, and the people worship me and return to the ancestral shrine. The bronze statue in the park is majestic, and the world remembers the soul of the martyrs. The good man is loyal and famous, and he keeps his name behind. Pray to die in battle, sacrifice your life only for the survival of your family and country, men should be like this...... Battle, Battle, Battle! Pray for death in battle! ”

The tragic and passionate singing echoed in the hotel, and when the singing was about to disperse, Wu Lingkai had some doubts in his heart, and the week-long investigation made him get a lot of information.

From the police with guns, to the sudden increase in military columns, to these officers and students in front of them - they graduated!

Graduated a few months early, originally, at this time, they should have had winter vacation, but Wu Lingkai learned that instead of winter vacation, they graduated early - all of them will be assigned to the army in the next day or two, what is going on?

In fact, he had already guessed an answer, as early as a few days ago, when he learned that many doctors in hospitals had also been called, he realized that things were far from being as simple as he had imagined, a faint answer had already appeared in his mind, and now, looking at these young officers, listening to their singing, he confirmed the answer.

"Is there going to be a war......

Suddenly, Wu Lingkai only felt distracted, looking at those young officers and students, and then connecting with the songs they were singing, he was horrified to find that he seemed to have touched a secret - the Northeast is preparing for war!

No!

Not preparing for war, but already in the midst of it!

All of them are preparing for war, that's right, that's it, the reason why the police distribute weapons is to strengthen social security, after the army goes out, the police will take on the responsibility of defending the Northeast, they naturally need to be equipped with guns, as for the increase in military columns, it is in the transfer of troops, the mobilization of materials, as for the recruitment of doctors, it is inevitable that someone will be injured in a war, the army needs more doctors, and finally, it is these officers and students who graduated ahead of schedule,

The answer couldn't be clearer, although now that the answer has been confirmed, Wu Lingkai's heart suddenly rose with a burst of regret, he knew what he had touched, it was a secret that could not be touched, and this secret was likely to make him bear some unexpected costs!

Big news!

This is indeed a big news, but under press control, how can such news pass censorship?

"Song of Death in Battle ......"

When he walked out of the hotel in a panic, when Wu Lingkai, who was flustered, silently read these four words, his mood became even heavier, and he even became nervous, and in the panic, he didn't even know how to face all this.

Write a manuscript to dig out this secret? Or is it silent, not thinking about the secret? Thoughts like these flashed through Wu Lingkai's mind, as a reporter, he naturally wanted to be the first to report this big news, but again, out of caution, he knew very well that this news could never be published in a newspaper, at least not in a newspaper in the northeast, because it could not pass the censorship.

"What to do? What to do? How good is that? ”

"Hereby ......"

At this moment, a sudden rush of brakes came into his ears, and before Wu Lingkai could react, two people rushed over on the side of the road, and without saying a word, they carried him from the left and right and stuffed them directly into the car...... (To be continued.) )
