I want to be a good person

Why lay down your weapons?

We must show the Japanese that there is no military force in the safe zone and we must not give the Japanese an excuse to use force.

"You guys go over there and maintain order. Take off your uniforms, light these lanterns, and bring your weapons."

Swastika lanterns. If there is any deterrent to the Japanese now, the only one left is the country with a mustache. British ships will be bombed as well.

"So, what about you, Commander?"

"I, finally, rest assured, don't worry."

The steamer began to approach the shore and the broadcast sounded again.

"Please line up according to the organization. Civilians on one side, soldiers on the other. Young and strong people should board the ship first!"

In times of war, the priority is to rescue people and ensure their survival. The elderly, children and women have poor survival abilities, which is exactly the opposite of the choices made in peacetime!

"Everyone line up to get on board, obey the arrangements and save time!"

The Chinese people are both brave and obedient, but what they lack is a leader. Soon four long rows were formed and they boarded the ship one by one.

The abandoned weapons piled up into a small mountain, and what was even more was that there was no bullets.

"Chariots on barges!"

The Republic of China was in great shortage of soldiers for the armored forces. The Whampoa Military Academy recruited people who were in junior high school or above, while they recruited people who were in high school or above. Where could they find soldiers?

It is better to leave behind the four warriors who returned to the city to fight. Their sacrifice is useless to the overall situation.

More people flocked to the Xiaguan Wharf. Zhang Aiguo stood in front of the pile of weapons. Under the swastika flag, only a strong motherland would serve as a talisman abroad!

"Sir, you won't go aboard?"

Uncle Chen stood beside him.

"Uncle Chen, do we have enough coal reserves?"

Zhang Aiguo answered the question irrelevantly. As for his own safety, a life with a sense of responsibility can soar.

“There are some on the North Shore, and there are stocks at the docks.”

"Tell the people on the steamer that if they work continuously until tomorrow noon, each person will get at least 100 silver dollars, and the Germans will get 100 US dollars! The same goes for our guards!"

"I see, let's go tell them now!"

He turned around again, considered for a while, and finally spoke.

"Do you want to charge for shipping? If not, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the Japanese!"

"hiss!"

The Japs have always put profit first. The free services in the early stage are for the purpose of monopolizing in the later stage. For example, when Britain and the United States sell kerosene, they not only sell it cheaply, but also give away beautiful kerosene lamps. In the end, others have the bargaining power and make a lot of money.

A typical case of taking advantage of small opportunities and suffering big losses!

"Are there any empty crates on board?"

"Have!"

"You drop two large boxes at the docking station of the steamer and remind them to let the people boarding the ship throw them randomly. I believe we won't suffer any loss!"

"I'll do it right away!"

This should not be considered as making money from the national disaster.

Zhang Aiguo exhaled a puff of smoke and thought silently.

The small steamer kept shuttling back and forth, with people getting on and off, but there were still many people on the shore.

The armored vehicle was moved over and slowly disappeared from Zhang Aiguo's telescope's sight.

The sky turned pale and there was no sun. The Japanese seaplane reconnaissance appeared in the sky, and the crowd in the queue was in a panic!

Several young soldiers tried to cut in line.

"Tick-tick-tick-tick"

The guard on the ship came over and opened fire without saying a word. The Chicago typewriter was typing the letter S.

“The ship cannot be overloaded.”

It takes time to identify the identity of a merchant ship and it cannot be completed in a short time, but there is not much time left.

"Help me tell Uncle Chen to arrange for women and children to board the ship!"

The barge was packed with people, and as it rocked, someone unfortunately fell into the water, but no one was willing to lend a hand.

The weapons pile is still there, just smaller.

I looked at my watch. It was 10:00 and there were still many people queuing by the river.

There were cars, trucks, horse-drawn carriages and cannons scattered everywhere inside and outside the city gates. If these were used in advance to transport military supplies, they could at least delay the enemy's entry into the city.

People will eventually pay the price for their selfishness!

Two more seaplanes flew over, followed by several carrier-based bombers or attack planes.

It dived at high speed and then rose rapidly, with huge swastika flags hanging on both sides of the bridge.

The people on the boat were waving swastika flags, but their black hair and yellow skin did not affect the swastika written backwards.

The ten thousand words written upright represent light, perhaps this is God's will.

Zhang Aiguo exhaled, walked back to the truck, and hung the grenade pull ring under the front of the truck. When the truck moved, it would fall off due to bumps.

Some options are placed in the engine, but not every car can enjoy this benefit.

The cannon opened the breech block, pushed the grenade into the barrel, squeezed the back with a pack of explosives, tied the pull ring to the handle with wire, and buried a mine under the hoe.

What a pity, it's such a waste in broad daylight.

Move your hands and feet. Your shoulders, waist and legs will ache. You can’t do delicate work quickly and you must concentrate highly.

"Sir, it's time to go!"

“How many people crossed the river?”

"At first, we counted the number of trips, but later we couldn't keep up. Our minds were swollen. The ship was overloaded, with at least tens of thousands of people on board."

"Uncle Chen, thank you for your hard work!"

Zhang Aiguo looked at the haggard face, clenched his hands tightly, and thanked him emotionally.

"Sir, I am so kind. What I have done is so insignificant. I feel so ashamed!"

"As long as we Chinese unite, we won't have to be afraid of the Japanese. When we catch up with them, they will be afraid!"

"I'm afraid I won't see the day when the Japs get scared!"

Uncle Chen looked at Zhang Aiguo's high-spirited face and was full of confidence!

"Yes, it will definitely happen!"

Standing on the boat, the river was sparkling and the Japanese ships were approaching.

"Sir, are you going to return?"

Zhang Aiguo thought for a moment, then looked up and said resolutely.

"Return! The Japs don't dare to open fire. As long as they don't drive us away, the more people we can cross, the better!"

"Well, I heard that the Kuomintang commander has seized all the ships, and I didn't see any of the people who boarded the ship just now!"

Uncle Chen was very annoyed and wanted to vent his anger by making some sarcastic remarks to them.

"them?"

"Leave the grassroots officers and soldiers behind and cover their escape!"

"We originally wanted to borrow five large wooden boats, but the Kuomintang commander refused to agree and poured gasoline on them and set them on fire!"

"Uncle Chen, go tell the foreign devils that if they negotiate, delay as much as possible. If not, withdraw directly to Wuhan."

"it is good"

"Also, I see that the wooden box is already filled with banknotes, silver dollars, gold bars, and foreign currencies. Let's try to see if we can bribe the devils."

"Can it be done?"

"War is nothing more than a fight for interests. Give it a try. Don't force it!"

"Also, we will sell the steamer in Wuhan and deposit the money into HSBC Bank. We will ask the crew on board if they are willing to go with us, and we will take those who are willing back to the south."

Uncle Chen stood there with his hands behind his back, listening to Zhang Aiguo's instructions.

"Sir, you're not going back?"

"I won't reply for now. Tell them that I miss them very much and don't worry about me. I have God's blessing, and I am different from others!"

"I see. This is a letter from the ladies to you."

Uncle Chen took out a few letters. Zhang Aiguo took them but did not open them.

The officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment looked at the person in charge of the small steamer, who was very respectful in front of their superior, and felt very excited. It turned out that their superior was not bragging.

"Let's go!"

Judging from their words and expressions, the life experience of the lower class people is no less than that of anyone else, it’s just the opportunities and backgrounds that are different. How many people are lost in the crowd, and all they lack is an opportunity!

Time is also destiny!

Except for Chiang's direct troops, all of them left without saying goodbye, and the remaining troops formed a large crowd, waiting for Zhang Aiguo's arrival.

"stand at attention!"

"salute!"

The accents are very diverse, from all over the world.

Grass, please don't add burden to me, my shoulders are weak!

Zhang Aiguo thought so, it’s all damn responsibility!
