Chapter 302: Siege of the Lonely Island

The last month of 1941 was destined to be an extraordinary time.

With the blessing of being well-informed last time, Chen Bo learned to read the newspaper to know the world's affairs, and now he doesn't need to clean his aunt to retell, but can grab words from time to time to interject, after all, his literary literacy is higher, and he can see more information from the newspaper, not just a simple repeater.

Upon hearing the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Chen Bo couldn't help but break his leg and laugh at Taijun's ignorance of what to do, thinking that he had the strength to compete with the world's largest industrial country, perhaps because the long-term victory had paralyzed the military's nerves, and no one could control this runaway war machine.

If war is like a game that can peek into the attribute panels of all regions from God's perspective, then no one with a little sanity would provoke the lighthouse country at that time, which is a veritable American Hercules.

Engage in an embargo on petroleum and rubber, forcing the Japanese to act first, so that there is a reason to fight back, and the United States' participation has strengthened the world's anti-*** force, which everyone is happy to see.

It's just that the public concession is not safe at the moment, and Pearl Harbor is also operating at the same time as the Japanese Storm Offensive.

Since the face is torn, there is no need to cower, the Japanese troops swaggered into the concession, and the garrison troops exchanged fire, the battle soon showed a one-sided situation, the concession completely fell, the bank was taken over, and a new order was established on this scorched earth.

Chen Bo still has this bit of historical common sense, and as soon as he saw the news, he took Xu Xueying and ran to the French Concession for refuge, and luckily escaped.

"Why don't the devils come here?" Xu Xueying looked at the sky-high fire on the other side of the river, curious and a little frightened.

Chen Bo explained: "The French Concession is currently under the jurisdiction of the Vichy regime, and it is a puppet state of Germany. ”

But the French Concession is not a long-term place to stand, it will be handed over to the Wang puppet regime in two years, Chen Bo didn't think about it so much, the timeline of the exam should not drag on so long, first mix in a safe place, and the rest will take one step at a time.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I didn't bring enough clothes..."Xu Xueying only carried a one-shoulder bag, which was really not enough according to the amount of luggage that girls had to drag when they went out.

"It's okay, what is missing is buying, it's relatively safe here, but the price will be a little expensive."

"I want to go back to the bank and see, are your colleagues okay?"

"Don't go back, it's a headshot, probably taken away."

After Chen Bo stopped Xu Xueying's dangerous behavior, he made up Zhou Fohai's tricks, which may be a ghost on the Huangquan Road after a shot of delicious food and drink....

It may also be the same as Xu Xueying's previous experience....

It is not impossible to incorporate all of them into the Japanese pseudo-banking system, after all, the threshold for financial practitioners is on the high side, and it is best to make use of them if they are all in decline.

"Thank you for helping me, otherwise I would have met with something wrong." Xu Xueying tugged on Chen Bo's arm to express her gratitude, Chen Bo answered dryly, and then observed the situation on the other side.

"I don't know what happened to Wang Xu, he is doing things for foreign devils, will he be executed."

Chen Bo was powerless, and he was reluctant to protect himself at the moment, so he had to put it on hold for the time being.

"He's so smart, there must be a way."

Due to the influx of many refugees into the French Concession, the military and police had no choice but to set up roadblocks and carry out temporary control, and the merchants who did not have time to escape gathered here, causing the prices in the concession to skyrocket, and the price level of cooking cakes was one day a day.

"Rich people don't eat cookcakes, and the price of this bite is as high as the one I ate before." Chen Bo reluctantly bought a cooking cake, tore it along the middle line, and gave the slightly more half to Xu Xueying.

"Maybe the owner of the cooking cake also wants to try the taste of seafood porridge." Xu Xueying was not picky, she held her hands in her arms and took a small bite.

"If this continues, we will run out of money next week." Chen Bo counted the change on his body, and soon found that there was a mistake in the calculation, the price was the same every day, and the savings he carried could not last for three days.

Xu Xueying remained naΓ―ve and optimistic: "It's okay, there are so many people here, there must be people who recruit part-time workers, and they won't die of hunger." ”

"It's all treacherous and cunning human spirits, don't let people deceive them." Chen Bo made a grimace to scare Xu Xueying, but instead caused the other party to laugh.

The cheapest hotel in the concession also increased to 30 yuan a night, and the two were huddled together, Chen Bo slept on the floor, and Xu Xueying slept on the big bed.

"There are two pillows."

"No two quilts, it's fine, there's a blanket on the floor, it's not cold at all." Chen Bo curled up in a ball, the wooden board was a little leaky, and the cold wind in December seeped in through the cracks unreasonably.

Lights flashed outside the window, the police were patrolling to prevent anyone from sneaking in in the middle of the night, and the French Concession imposed a curfew, so that no idlers could hang out at night.

[Main quest, complete a counterfeit transaction]

Hearing the long-lost system prompt, Chen Bo jumped on the spot and started with a big movement, so loud that it woke up the sleeping Xu Xueying.

"What's wrong with you? Is it a cold awakening? ”

"It's fine, it's just a thigh cramp."

Chen Bo continued to turn on the nonsense mode, and Xu Xueying asked thoughtfully: "The cramps are not for no reason, you should go to the mattress and rest." ”

"You're not afraid I'm a bad person."

"Don't be afraid, you're a bad person and you won't bring me here."

"Yes."

Chen Bo, who had taken off his guard, got into the futon, and the warmth was in his heart, and he seriously figured out the tasks released by the system.

"Tomorrow I should meet key characters to help me open the main story." Chen Bo's first thought was Chen Cheng, this guy had been secretly cooperating with the Japanese invaders, and now he was becoming more and more rampant, and he might let himself complete some dangerous deals.

While Chen Bo was meditating, he suddenly felt that something came over, turned his head to look, and found that Xu Xueying had crossed the drawn 38th line and pressed her arm on Chen Bo.

"Is there anyone I know named Xu Xueying?"

Since He Qiqi will become a plot character, it means that the system will deliberately select important people in the subconscious to stimulate the enthusiasm of the candidates.

Analogical reasoning, that Xu Xueying's reference in reality...

I scratched my head, but I couldn't think of anything.

"Damn, forget it, let's check it after the exam, don't dwell on this topic." Chen Bo used his pillow to block Xu Xueying to prevent the sleeping girl from making further dangerous moves.

The unemployed duo didn't get up until the third pole of the day, Chen Bolian sneezed a few times, and in a trance found that all the quilts on his body were wrapped in Xu Xueying.

"I'm sorry, I'm just feeling cold." Xu Xueying shrank in the quilt, only daring to show half of her face.

"It's okay, it's just a little cold, it'll be fine in a few days, ahh
