July 10, 1937

On this day, Ashley was walking to Wall Street as usual, as a white-collar worker working on Wall Street, although not as popular as before 1931, but the economic improvement in recent years still made her earn a lot of money, her income even exceeded her husband in the government department, becoming the pillar of the family, proud of her every time she went to work with her head held high, especially when she saw those who looked like low-level workers. At this time, she suddenly noticed that the men in front of her were constantly pointing at the front, not knowing what they were saying.

Ashley wasn't one, but she looked at it with curiosity. Oh, my God!! What is that??

Ashley found a beautiful girl standing in front of her, wearing a short skirt and high heels, but what was that on her lap? I'm also a fashion-conscious woman, but I've never seen anything like this - it should be said that it's a sock thing.

It's not that Ashley has never seen stockings, and there are many Isalibethan male characters wearing stockings in those theater plays, and she also has stockings and Japanese stockings, but those stockings are different from the woman in front of her.

When you wear your stockings, you often look like your legs are thick and strong, while the legs of the girl on the opposite side appear slender, and you are stockings, even if you wear the best Japanese stockings, you can't be as transparent as the other party, if you don't see a line on the legs of the girl on the opposite side, it should be the interface, or you really think it's bare-legged. And those lace patterns on the thighs make the legs as beautiful as works of art.

Ashley looked at the drooling man next to her, and then looked at her legs, obviously dressed appropriately, but she felt like she was naked. Ashley ran to the office and sat down in a distraught manner, but before she could sit down, she heard a female colleague next to her talking about something.

"Have you heard? Now there's a new thing called nylon stockings. A female colleague said with a cup of coffee.

"Isn't it, I've seen people wearing them on the street, and those stinky men are about to come out of their saliva." As soon as I heard this topic, several female colleagues gathered around at once.

"But what the hell is that? It seems to be completely different from Japanese silk stockings. A blonde female white-collar worker said curiously.

"Of course, have you ever seen socks that transparent? It's incredible, I just don't know where it's sold. The first female colleague to speak said depressedly.

Ashley listened and looked at her legs, and felt so uncomfortable, as a proud woman, it was unforgivable to lose in a sock now. Ashley even flashed the slender legs and nylon stockings in her mind from time to time when she was working? So what is it exactly?

Ashley prepares to take the subway home after work in the afternoon, only to find a large crowd of people around the subway entrance, including men and women, and police officers maintaining order. Ashley was already upset and wasn't ready to join in the fun. He walked around and was about to leave, but then he heard a man crying and said, "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, what kind of magic is this nylon stockings, it actually makes this Athena, oh, no!" It should be Venus so beautiful. ”

What the? Nylon stockings, Ashley's eyes widened when she heard this term, and she desperately squeezed inside, and finally saw that it turned out to be a colorful poster, the woman on this poster had never seen it herself, with golden curly hair, red lips and a black mole on the left side of her face, not only did not make her look pale, but it was more attractive. The murder weapon on his chest made him jealous, but the most eye-catching thing was his legs, I saw this woman half-lying on the bed, one leg wearing stockings, and the other leg was bent and preparing to wear another stocking, with her charming face, no wonder some men were crazy for her. I saw the advertising slogan written on the poster: Stockings - make your him crazy for you.

If it is for later generations to see it, they will know that this woman is the famous Marilyn Monroe, and at this time, Ashley looked at this poster, and only felt that a voice was being made in her heart, as long as she also had this stocking, she would be so charming, making these stinky men fascinated by herself.

After a long time, Ashley reluctantly looked away from the stockings, and didn't know how much the stockings would cost, where to buy them, Ashley took the subway home, but found that she also had a poster on the street bulletin board, but the person in it was not the sexy woman at the beginning but a dignified princess, yes, if the sexy goddess in front of her, this is a dignified princess in front of her, I saw this woman with a dignified expression, sitting on a luxurious stool in a gorgeous dress, with her legs slightly sideways, It looks extra slender with that damn stocking, and there is also an advertising slogan next to it: Stockings - make you his princess.

When Ashley returned home, she immediately opened her closet and looked at her socks, and suddenly felt like the clown duck in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, when her husband returned, Ashley saw her husband coming back happily, and couldn't help but feel upset, and said angrily, "Is there anything to be happy about?" Could it be that the government has given you bonuses? ”

I saw his husband angrily holding a ticket and a newspaper and saying, "Honey, do you know nylon? ”

Damn, it's that damn nylon, how come there's this thing everywhere, Ashley thought and turned her head to look at her closet and said, "There are posters all over the street, of course I know, so what?" ”

But she saw her husband holding a ticket and handed it to her and said, "Honey, this is my gift to you, the latest nylon stockings." ”

As soon as she heard the nylon stockings, Ashley quickly turned her head to look at her husband, snatched the ticket from his hand, and saw that the ticket clearly read, "With this volume, you can buy a pair of nylon stockings before August, which is only for use in New York." ”

My God!! This is actually a purchase voucher for nylon stockings. Ashley asked incredulously, "How did you get here, many of my colleagues have been inquiring for a day and haven't found out where to buy these nylon stockings." ”

Seeing her husband pointing to her face, Ashley stomped her foot shyly, hugged her husband's neck and kissed her, saying, "Tell me about it, I'm going to tell my friends the news." ”

Her husband took out a newspaper and said, "It's this evening newspaper, take the stocking advertising page of this evening newspaper and you can go to the lottery they set up, and the person who wins the lottery will have this stocking purchase coupon, I heard that there are only 80,000 pairs in the United States a day, and there are less than 10,000 pairs in New York, and the lottery point they set up in New York is full of people, but I secretly drew out all the newspaper advertising pages in our unit." ”

Ashley looked at the stockings, jumped happily, and said like a lark, "Then let's hurry up and buy it." I can't wait to get myr... Oh no, it was my Hani who saw me in these stockings. ”

When his husband and Ashley went to the purchase point mentioned on the coupon, they were simply stunned, it turned out that Weihua Company, which sold stockings, set up the store in the square, only to see more than 100 heavily armed policemen waiting for the store, bracelets to protect the store, several buses surrounded a passage to enter the store, a few black people with big shoulders and round waists looked very strong at the entrance of the passage to check the bills, only people with stocking coupons can enter the store, the long queue in front of the entrance of the passage is far from the end. There are also people running to the back to stand up, dozens of policemen patrolling back and forth to prevent accidents, this scene is probably only comparable to the ticket gate of the railway station before China has no online ticketing in the future.

Ashley was a little reluctant, she was sure that she already had a ticket, and it didn't matter if she came back a day or two later, so she was about to pull her husband away, but found that she didn't pull it. At first glance, Ashley was angry, it turned out that her husband was looking ahead with saliva, Ashley looked at it, only to see that there were two high platforms at the door of the store, and there were more than a dozen beauties standing on the high platforms, all of them, with sultry appearances, the most important thing is that each of them is wearing different styles of stockings, black, brown, purple, and white, and their clothes are also very special, they seem to be uniforms, but they feel different from the uniforms they usually see. From time to time they were making various movements to show off their thighs, and Ashley looked around and saw that all the men were looking at the high platform like a toad, and I was afraid that there was no way to get the men out of the knife now.

Ashley suddenly got angry, okay, my mother dares to look at others like this next to you, and when I buy stockings, I won't let you touch them, so you can go to sleep on the sofa for me! (In fact, women all over the world are the same, Western ladies are more open, but it doesn't matter if their men find other women.) ）

Ashley shook off her husband and ran to the end of the line to line up, and her husband reacted and touched his head and followed.

On the other side, the women who had already bought stockings, when they came out, one by one, were like victorious roosters, only to see them holding stockings in beautiful cardboard boxes, sandwiched in their arms, and from time to time looking at the people who did not have stocking coupons and asking around if there were people willing to resell stockings, and smiled contemptuously, as if they had seen a loser.

After waiting in line for more than an hour, Ashley finally arrived at the store, and thankfully, Weihua had set up three or four points in New York, otherwise she didn't know how long she would have to wait in line, and Ashley was dazzled as soon as she entered the door, only to see rows and rows of various stockings in the store, with prices ranging from two to ten dollars.

What the? It turns out that this stockings can be bought for only 2 dollars, and today's average monthly income in the United States is about 40 US dollars, and Ashley, as a financial elite, naturally has a more expensive income, 2 US dollars is not high for him, you know, a Japanese stockings are the cheapest for five dollars.

Ashley looked at it, and finally chose seven or eight pairs of stockings, and when she was ready to pay, she was told that she could only buy one ticket per ticket. Immediately Ashley was crazy, such beautiful stockings are still limited to purchase!! It was too much, and all kinds of pleas were refused, and Ashley had to tearfully choose a pair of flesh-colored lace suspender stockings. Looking at a room full of stockings, Ashley almost had the feeling that someone else had robbed her child.

But when Ashley went out and was surrounded by countless women whose eyes were almost red and asked if she was willing to resell, Ashley suddenly felt like a princess, only to see her striding away proudly, and his husband saw her come out and hurriedly walked up and said, "Honey, you must be beautiful in these stockings." ”

Ashley gave her husband a blank look, of course.

That night, Ashley put on the stockings and walked in front of her husband, only to see his husband pounce like a beast for the first time, which made her feel that the stockings were really as advertised, and made her stupid husband go crazy.

The next day, when Ashley also walked on the street in stockings, she really felt that there were people peeking at her legs along the way, and the woman who wanted to avoid her when she saw her, when she walked into the office, she saw that the sisters who were chattering yesterday were wide eyed and speechless, Ashley felt like she was about to climax, and she felt that she was really a princess.

This kind of thing happened not only to Ashley, but also not only to the United States, but also to the European continent, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the entire Western world men and women in less than two days, completely surrendered to the magic of stockings, Paris and Milan, which have always been the fashion capitals, and there are countless fashionistas who say the adage that women don't go out without stockings.

As a result of the full pre-work, countless high-ranking officials and celebrities received gifts of stockings.

The last time Jiang Cheng gave Mrs. Roosevelt's gift was also stockings, although I thought that stockings were indeed magical, but because Jiang Cheng also attached a note, requesting not to let Mrs. Roosevelt wear stockings in front of the public before Weihua was publicly sold, Mrs. Roosevelt held back for several days, and now she can finally wear stockings that she has seen many times and face the camera with her Mr. President.

The news media also soon discovered that basically all the celebrities and ladies wore stockings when they went out, and for a while the stockings were basically equated with the upper class, especially when Wei Hua released that except for the noblewomen with sufficient status who can buy at any time, everyone else must be purchased by lottery, and the credential of the lottery is the advertising page of the stockings advertisement in the designated newspaper. This makes the stockings even more precious, and the stockings coupon that can be bought on the fourth day has been speculated to 10 times the price, but it is still priceless, and a stockings coupon can already make a girl you pursue for a few years go on a date with you or even do something closer.

This kind of pomp and circumstance caused the newspapers that had been advertised by Weihua to sell out completely, and the sales of newspapers other than these newspapers shrank sharply throughout the lottery purchase period. And those newspapers did not charge Wei Hua for advertising at all, but more newspapers cried and shouted begging Wei Hua to wait for advertisements in their newspapers.

Jiang Cheng, who was in charge of the overall situation in New York, had already received reports from various places at this time, and at the same time, he had also received the news that the July Seven Incident broke out as usual and that the development was exactly the same as history.

Jiang Cheng looked at the same development as history, and couldn't help sighing, these people really don't cry when they don't see the coffin, they all let the Red Party remind them like that, or think that the Japanese really won't expand the war.

Jiang Cheng immediately sent a telegram to Yan'an, hoping that Yan'an would immediately start the seed plan in the Pingjin area.

The Seed Plan is a plan to evacuate high-quality personnel from Pingjin to a safe zone to continue training and prepare for the future before the Japanese army enters the city, and those enthusiastic students will become the hope of China's future.

There will be a safety period of more than ten days after the first phase of the battle in Wanping, this time is not only for the Japanese army to send troops, but also for the Chinese retreat, Jiang Cheng hopes that the Red Party can maximize the use of this time to rescue the students, especially those patriotic student soldiers, those worthless sacrifices in Nanyuan are really not worth it.

Jiang Cheng sent another telegram to Shanghai, asking Li Qian to open the small notebook and go north immediately, and hand over the future battle plan of the Japanese army that had long been placed in Li Qian's place to Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu and others in a timely manner. There's really no reason to talk about it.

Li Qian received Jiang Cheng's telegram and immediately opened the small notebook that Jiang Cheng gave him, only to see that a lot of things were densely written on it, but these words were all strange, some of them were known by themselves, and some of them were not.

Li Qian knew that the book Jiang Cheng gave herself must be confidential, and she didn't dare to ask others, and suddenly remembered Yu Yishan, she had heard a lot of Yu Yishan's stories in the army, and felt that Yu Yishan should be credible, so she scrambled all the words she didn't know to ask Yu Yishan.

Yu Yishan couldn't help but feel strange when she saw Li Qian asking her words, after all, Li Qian had also read books since she was a child, and when she looked at these words, she suddenly said, "These should be simplified characters, no wonder you don't recognize them, give me some time, I'll help you translate them, thanks to Brother Jiang Cheng telling me last time that this is helpful for learning, I have only studied it for a while, or I can't recognize it." ”

Waiting for Yu Yishan to hand the translated words to Li Qian, Li Qian hurriedly ran back to correspond one by one, but what made her feel frightened was that what was recorded in the book was actually the dispatch of the Japanese army and the list of spies within the 29th Army for a period of time in the future, Li Qian completely understood why both Jinshan and Ba Shun often said that the true meaning of the owner's affairs should not be asked, not to think, just follow the order, what a terrifying intelligence department and forces can even get the other party's response plan for more than half a month before the incident.

Li Qian didn't dare to think about it anymore, but summoned Wang Yong and the security guards according to the last order written in the small notebook.

After Li Qian showed the last page of the order to Wang Yong and the others, Wang Yong and the others immediately expressed their promise to obey the order.

Li Qian was on a mission for the first time, so she couldn't help but be a little nervous, took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, according to the orders of the owner, everyone prepares field equipment, disguises and goes to Pingjin to prepare for a special mission. ”

After Jiang Cheng arranged the affairs of China, he began to concentrate on waiting for DuPont's reaction.
