Today, Tongji University invited Hengsan to Tongji University to give a speech, Tang Juwu said, you can go, but you are going on behalf of the government and Hongkou District, don't talk nonsense, you can go to any school, and we are bandits when we are dealing with foreigners, and we are their protectors when we face the citizens of Shanghai, um.
In the afternoon, Hengsan wore a police uniform and came to Tongji University, where the students applauded, Hengsan said, you are the pillars of this country, we are the big bosses, we know how to fight, we know to protect the safety of our Shanghai citizens, and when the country is too peaceful, the future construction and prosperity of the country depends on you students. You are the hope of our future in China.
Many classmates applauded fiercely with tears in their eyes, and some students asked Hengsan to sign, Hengsan said, just sign it, wait a minute, you will definitely scold your parents when you go back, saying that your classmate's words are too ugly, this guy is not serious in class, and there are words written like this, even the dog crawling words are more beautiful than him. Everyone said that this is not the truth. The classmates feel that Yokozo is simply too cute.,That's what I said about myself.,But the classmates feel that Yokozo is still very kind.。
A classmate asked, "Now that you are the chief of the police department, will you still go to war if there is a war?" Yokozo said that although I am a police officer, I am still a soldier, and when the country needs me. I will not hesitate to go to the front line of the battlefield with a gun, this is a soldier's mission.
The classmates applauded fiercely, at this time, a girl suddenly walked up to Hengsan and kissed Hengsan and said, you are the greatest hero in my heart, I love you very much, Hengsan's face turned red all of a sudden, and then all the students were coaxing, Hengsan said, I also love you, I love this country more, and I also love you students, even if you lose your life, you must ensure your safety, this is a soldier's commitment, thank you all your classmates.
Those teachers were very satisfied with what Heng San said at the end, those teachers thought, they didn't have any grandiose words, they would blush even when they spoke, but they were trying to maintain the safety of Shanghai, they used to be a bunch of green gangsters that everyone hated, but they were lucky to meet Lai San, they have changed from the roots, they are now building a new Great Wall for this country, their hearts have completely belonged to this country.
Hengsan's face turned red on the road, he was the first time to kiss a girl, this is Hengsan feels that spring is coming, although it is now the wax moon, but Hengsan's spring has come, Hengsan wants not to be this group of people, planting us We are a group of gangsters, where will these students fall in love, this time it is indeed a blessing in disguise, haha that time is to collect protection money to the Tang Juwu general to worry about, Lai San is also what they did, these people just don't want to see the gangsters bully those people, I don't want to take the blood of my fellow martyrs, so I force us to be the same as them, and there is the Tiger Head Gang, aren't you taking refuge in the Japanese? Let you kill each other, so that the gate of Hongkou is opened for the Tiger Head Gang to help themselves, these people are simply too ruthless.
Their military strength is not very strong, they still have to use Lai San to escort them, anyway, Lai San is still in Hunan, and if they want to go back to Shanghai, they have to nod their heads, haha, it's just too ruthless, and their weapons are too powerful, some of those little Japan are blown up, where is this war, it's a massacre, today General Tang Juwu went to visit the United States Consulate, and the consul of the United States Consulate Hawkins came out to greet General Tang Juwu, and at this time they knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was this guy.
Tang Juwu said Mr. Hawkins, hello General Tang, what can I do to help you, Mr. Hawkins, I want to order a series of warships in the United States, and we need a large number of workers, I know that your unemployment rate in the United States has reached the most dangerous time, I think your government will definitely agree, this is the warship we designed, the "Fletcher-class" class destroyers, which we require you to produce 8 units, and the main submarines of the submarine group, "Seahorse" and "Sea Serpent" two.
"class submarines. There are 50 ships each, and there are six huge warships, including two 9,700-ton "Treaty"-class heavy cruisers and four "Omaha'" class light cruisers of more than 7,000 tons.
Tang Juwu said that this should relieve the pressure on your country's economy, give you twenty hours, if not, we will entrust the German government to manufacture it for us, and we hope that you will pay them for the training of our navy in time, and we will pay them salaries, and the other is to ask you to send Major Majifen's widow to Shanghai, because our country still has a late military merit medal for Major Majifen, thank you.
At this time, Hawkins was stupid to see the huge order, at least two billion dollars in orders, and he immediately reported to the White House, at this time, the unemployment rate in the United States has reached 40%, the economy is facing collapse, and there is such a large order at once, which solves the biggest problem in the United States, of course, agreed, the next day Hawkins and Tang Juwu signed a contract, and the United States provided two thousand craftsmen for the wharf in Hongkou District, Jiang Qiang also began to design a gantry crane, because there was no gantry crane at this time, All by manual unloading.
Baoshan began to build the world's largest wharf, Baoshan Wharf, a total of 50 gantry cranes, covering an area of more than 500 acres of huge freight wharf, Guo Xiaoliu from Tongzhou attracted nearly 500,000 displaced people to Hongkou, the whole Hongkou is already a huge construction site, there is also Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant has also started, the investment of 200 million US dollars in large steel plant is the largest steel plant in Asia, the edge of the steel plant, is the Shanghai Automobile Factory in cooperation with Germany, specializing in the production of trucks and military jeeps, the establishment of Shanghai Special Steel Factory, Shanghai auto parts processing plant was also established.

Shanghai Industrial Park Community, with a total investment of 5 billion US dollars, is the largest industrial park in the world, covering an area of nearly 30,000 acres of huge industrial park.
At this time, Tang Juwu and Mayor Cao were startled. It cost nearly 7 billion US dollars at once, this is something he never dared to think, Jiang Qiang has a very bottom in his heart, that is, he started printing money, so there is no problem with not using gold, it is a reason to put the eggs in this basket in another basket, today is the widow of Major Majifen to Shanghai, and all the officials in Shanghai went to the 16th shop wharf to meet Major Majifen's widow.
The citizens of Shanghai did not know who brought all the officials of the Hongkou District Government to greet what bigwigs. At this time, all the bigwigs in the concession and the various consuls also came to see the excitement, at this time the American warship had docked, and everyone saw many people hugging an old American lady coming over, Tang Juwu stepped forward, and at this time standing in front of them was an old American lady with white hair and nearly seventy years old. Tang Juwu and Mayor Cao "snapped" to the old woman and said loudly: "Dear Mrs. Ma Jifen, please allow me to pay high tribute to you and the family behind you on behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Axe and the one million soldiers in Shanghai!"
After finishing speaking, Tang Juwu picked up a microphone handed over by his entourage and said loudly to the surroundings: "Distinguished gentlemen and ladies. You may not know who this gray-haired lady is, but now I can tell you that her husband's name is Firo. Norton. Majifen, forty-four years ago, Philo. Norton. Major Majfin served in the Beiyang Fleet in China. On the eve of the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle 44 years ago, Major Majifen was already 34 years old, he had served in the Beiyang Fleet for a full ten years, he dedicated his most precious youth to the Beiyang Naval Division, on the eve of the start of the naval battle, he was supposed to take a leave to return to the United States to reunite with his family, but unfortunately at that time, China and the two countries declared war, Major Majifen said in a letter to his family, "Huaxia and Yueben are about to go to war, we are likely to say goodbye, but I must stay at my post." During my ten years of service in China, they have always been kind to me, and how shameful it would be to abandon them at this time," Major Majfen, who took the initiative to withdraw his leave of absence, expressed his loyalty to the country to the Huaxia Navy and the political axe. In that naval battle forty-four years ago, Major Magifin demonstrated courage and loyalty to his Chinese colleagues with his bravery and deeds.
At this time, the engineers and mechanics who stayed on the dock all heard the words of Admiral Tang Juwu's broken American English, and at the same time, the thousands of US Navy officers and men who had disembarked from several warships realized that the identities of the dozen or so people who had been drifting across the ocean with them for more than half a month were all standing upright and saluting these people in unison under the orders of the officers.
General Tang Juwu continued: "After the defeat of our Beiyang Naval Division, Major Majifen wrote in his last letter to his wife: "My dear, I have served in this fleet for ten whole years, I have regarded this fleet as my home, and I have regarded this land as my second motherland, and now that this fleet has been defeated, hundreds of colleagues who have shared life and death have also died, and now it is time for me to fulfill my promise." Did you know, dear? How I love this fleet, and now that it is gone, my soul will go with it. Major Magiffen also committed suicide immediately after leaving a will, and our Qing Zheng axe at that time sent the remains of Major Magiffen back to the United States, to his homeland, but I regret that such a valiant soldier was treated unjustly in his hometown, and here I can't help but ask the American political axe, is this how they treated a brave man of the United States of America who died generously? ”
After hearing General Tang Juwu's questioning, many engineers and mechanics who came on the same ship couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "This son of a bitch's political axe, he dares to treat a warrior of our United States of America like this!" Although those US Navy officers and men did not curse out loud after hearing this, they couldn't help but secretly curse a few words in their hearts about the American political axe, these sons of bitches.
"Although Major Magifin was treated unfairly in both China and the United States at that time. But his contribution to the Chinese Navy, and his loyalty to the Chinese land. But it will not be forgotten by China on the other side of the ocean, and now on behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Axe and the more than 10 million citizens under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai Municipal Axe, I would like to pay high tribute to Major Magiffen and his family, and I hereby bestow the award to Philo. Norton. Major Majifen, the highest medal of the Shanghai Municipal Axe, the special combat hero medal! Dear Mrs. Majifen, allow me to dedicate this medal and this flag to you in the name of a grateful nation and the municipal axe of Shanghai! To thank your husband for his honorable, loyal and honorable service to the country, allow us to express our gratitude to him and you on behalf of the whole country and the Shanghai Municipal Government with this flag, and you have a good husband worthy of our admiration.
After speaking, General Tang Juwu slowly took out a silver special battle hero medal and a certificate issued by Shanghai and a flag of the Shanghai Legion folded in a triangular shape from a tray held by the soldiers beside him and handed them to Mrs. Ma Jifen.
At this time, a bugler standing behind General Tang Juwu raised the bronze trumpet from his armpit, put it to his mouth and slowly blew the lights-out horn, and in a low trumpet, a group of soldiers wearing white dresses and holding rifles came from the side, they slowly came to the side and stood in turn under the officer's order, pointed the muzzle of the gun at a 45-degree angle to the sky, listened to the commander's command, and prepared to see off their robes in the way of soldiers.
"Ready! Put! ”
"Bump!"
"Ready! Put! ”
"Bump!"
After receiving the medal and seeing the eulogy on the certificate, the gray-haired Mrs. Magiffen who stood in front of General Tang Juwu still collapsed to the ground and wept silently, and more than a dozen family members behind her also cried.
When the gunfire was over, the soldiers lined up again and saluted Mrs. Magiffen and the family behind her before walking away.
At this time, the eight destroyers anchored in the harbor turned their guns and began to fire salutes. The white smoke from the destroyer resounded through the harbor with a loud roar. In this way, they pay the highest respect to the warrior who shed his last drop of blood for Huaxia although he was not a native of Huaxia.
