Chapter 292: War Correspondent
"Hey~ When are you two going to follow me? I said I wouldn't run anymore, and you guys are doing a lot of things that affect my work. ”
In the city of Nanjing, Rosa cut her hair short and dressed herself as a man.
She carried a bag and a notebook in her hand, and Hu De, a photographer from the same newspaper next to her, couldn't stop taking pictures here and there, and Wendy, another girl with straight hair and freckles, was carrying a very advanced video equipment at this stage, but the volume of this equipment was completely disproportionate to her body shape, as long as everyone who saw it would have a thought, why didn't the man carry this heavier equipment?
However, behind the three reporters who flew from New York to China and now to Nanjing, there were also two men dressed as locals.
One of them has a flattering smile, and the upper front teeth are clearly protruding outward, and they are nicknamed "buckteeth".
The other is honest, at a glance he is no different from the peasants that can be seen in every mountain village, except that there are more pockmarks on his face, of course, his nickname is "pockmarks".
Both of them are the cripple's subordinates, intelligence officers trained by the Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
They followed Rosa all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing to protect them, and by the way, they also passed the news from the New York headquarters to friendly forces in the vicinity.
However, what disappointed them was that the garrison in Nanjing did not seem to trust them very much, but fortunately they were polite, after all, they were from the New World, and there was a letter of introduction from Wang Xian, and the commander of the garrison also arranged a house for these foreign friends, but that's all, they were left here to fend for themselves.
"Hehe~ sister-in-law, don't embarrass us, our boss has explained that the two of us will follow you every inch, because the little devil's troops are gathering here, and a big war may break out at any time, although Mr. Zhou said that you can be let go alone, but how dare we? You are Caesar's bride, the mother of the young son of our Dragon Chamber of Commerce, if you dare to do something, our brothers will not be mixed up in the future? ”
"Yes, sister-in-law, you just listen to the buckteeth, you just don't exist when we don't exist, or a stranger, we just happen to be on the same road, you look at the current situation in Nanjing City, the well-informed rich are running out with their families, you are good, sharpen your head and drill in, you look at the eyes of the general who guarded the city yesterday looked at us, as if he was looking at a fool, he probably thought in his heart that these people are afraid that they are not here to die, right?"
After the bucktooth finished speaking, although the pockmarked man with a simple old farmer was answering the phone in his mouth, his eyes were looking left and right, and his vigilance had never relaxed.
Rosa rolled her eyes, put away the pen in her hand, and said to Hood next to her: "Pat these two guys well, I'm going to use their faces to make headlines for tomorrow's report." ”
"Hey~~~Don't don't~~ I can't help it, sister-in-law, let's stay away, farther away~"
Bucktooth and Mazi subconsciously stretched out their hands to cover their eyes and slowed down, and Rosa was just scaring the two of them, after all, once his appearance as an intelligence officer was revealed, it meant that his career ended here, and even more so his life ended here.
Rosa still knew what was going on at this point, and when she saw the two of them give in, a little farther away from her, she raised her head like a victorious rooster walking down the street.
"Editor-in-chief, we have come all the way from Shanghai, and the residents here live a comfortable life, I really can't imagine how much will be left of everything here when the Japanese call in a few days?"
Holding a camera, Hood is particularly fond of the historic Chinese buildings in Nanjing, and every time he sees one, he has to hold the camera and click for a long time.
He could think that these historic architectural treasures would be wiped out in the flames of war, and he could not tell the heartache.
Wendy, who was carrying the camera on her back, wiped the sweat from her forehead, exhaled and said: "Don't talk about the buildings here, you look at the people in this city, they are very kind, but those Japanese soldiers have no humanity at all, look at those girls, I really don't dare to imagine the scene after the Japanese army came in......"
Rosa raised her hand and tapped Wendy's head lightly, "Why are you two so pessimistic?" Don't you know that my family has already made arrangements for this day? Although he didn't say it explicitly, I could feel that he seemed to have a special obsession with the city, and recruited a lot of volunteers from the Federation to conduct special training here, and those people were not put on a show, they would defend the city to the death and repel the invaders, and I believe they could do it. ”
Hood and Wendy naturally knew who Rosa was talking about, wasn't it Mr. Zhou, the richest man in New York, a legend in the Chinese circle, and a friend of the current president.
"Editor-in-chief, look there, it's a women's college, is that a nun? She's teaching those girls to sing Christmas songs~! ”
As Hood's finger pointed, Rosa saw a Western lady with almost gray hair and glasses, organizing a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old local girls singing Christmas songs.
Indeed, if they were still in New York, they were still at home, and they would have started preparing Christmas presents by now, but this year...... Caesar can only make up for it later.
The group of three walked forward for a while, and Wendy tilted her head in question.
"Why are locals in a hurry to paint their houses? Yesterday I saw some beautiful old houses with red walls and blue tiles, how can they be painted black or gray today? Does this really look good? ”
Rosa took out a piece of paper and wrote down this, and said with a little helplessness in her tone: "Of course they know what colors are good-looking, and this is helpless, after all, the red roof is very conspicuous to the enemy, if you are a Japanese pilot flying through the air and see a house with a red roof and a house with a gray roof, where will you bomb?" ”
Wendy couldn't answer Rosa's words, and she realized that the local residents were not without aesthetics, and that the reason why they painted the roofs black or gray was to save their lives and not be so conspicuous in the coming war.
The three of them were silent for a while, and they continued to walk, but at this moment, among the female students who were still singing Christmas songs in unison, a girl was forcibly pulled into a rickshaw by a man and a woman, and she didn't know where to go.
As Zhou Yu's wife, Rosa can naturally understand Chinese, but the locals have a strong accent, so he can't understand everything, but he can guess the approximate meaning.
"The girl's parents were going to take her to flee here, and her parents said that the city's communications were almost completely cut off, and many boats, trains, and plane tickets were not available, and they managed to buy a few tickets at a very expensive price, and now they are going to flee to Chongqing, yes, that's probably what they said."
Wendy looked at the reluctant female students and asked in a low voice, "What about those who can't buy or can't afford tickets?" ”
No one answered her question, because a shrill radio sound resounded in the sky over the city of Nanjing, which also stopped all the pedestrians on the street, it was the sound of air raid sirens.
