Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Political Commissar Wang's face was beaming with joy, but the joy had not yet worn off. He didn't want to say anything and just handed the telegram forwarded by his superior to the brigade commander.

After the brigade commander took it, he looked at it carefully. It was a telegram sent by a comrade of ours code-named Mashe, which described what happened in Tianjin tonight.

"Old buddy, is what the telegram said true? Xiao Kong and his men actually sank a 5500-ton light cruiser of the enemy, and even killed the Axe Gang, one of the three major gangs in Tianjin."

"What happened during the day was already amazing enough for us, who could have thought there would be an even bigger surprise at night."

"Sinking a 5,000-ton light cruiser of the Japanese is no less effective than annihilating an entire enemy field regiment. If we only look at the effect of boosting morale, it's even more exaggerated."

"After all, we can still defeat the Japanese army. As for the Japanese warships, we have no navy, so it's difficult for us to defeat even one of their inland gunboats, let alone their cruisers. If we can sink the enemy's giant ship this time, it will definitely boost the morale of our people."

Political Commissar Wang also responded with a smile: "This was sent back by our intelligence personnel in Tianjin. They also participated in the operation tonight. Although they only assisted the special operations team in evacuating, the intelligence should be true and reliable."

"Although I still don't understand how the Xingtian Special Forces, with only 50 people, could possibly sink such a huge warship, this is a great thing. It can also deter those arrogant Japanese navy and stop them from being too arrogant."

"As for the Axe Gang, they are just a sidekick. They are no match for our special forces team, which has the strongest offensive power."

"That's not all. Xiao Kong also got more than 100 kilograms of gold and hundreds of thousands of dollars this time. This can solve a lot of problems for our troops."

"By the way, the commander has specifically instructed that when the special operations team returns, they must be awarded merit, and great merit."

"Political Commissar, if that's the case, I'll go to the arsenal when Xiao Kong comes back. It's a good opportunity to check out the production of mortars and grenade launchers there."

"That's fine. If you take charge, that would be the most appropriate thing to do."

Of course, Boss Dai was also unable to sleep tonight. When he learned that a light cruiser of the Japanese had been sunk, he was extremely happy.

So he ordered all the Military Control Commission stations to publish this major event in the newspapers as soon as possible the next morning so that the people across the country could be happy.

This caused great trouble for the editors of Chinese newspapers. They had already written the manuscript. A mysterious gunman, under heavy enemy protection, sniped and killed a Japanese major general. This was a huge military achievement.

China has attached great importance to military exploits since ancient times, which are basically divided into four major military exploits: "killing generals, seizing flags, being the first to climb the ladder, and breaking through the enemy lines."

The sniping of the Japanese major general should be the legendary killing of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops. If this were placed in ancient times, it would be the top of the four major military merits. Even if it was a small soldier, in addition to a large amount of gold and silver rewards, he would at least be granted a small official position such as a centurion.

If it happened now, once confirmed, and if the mysterious gunman was willing to accept the reward, he would be rewarded at least 10,000 dollars and the rank of major.

Unfortunately, no one knows the true identity of this mysterious man, and he can only be referred to as a "Chinese hero."

But they didn't expect that they had just finished writing the manuscript, the editor-in-chief had approved it, and even many newspapers had been printed and were waiting to be delivered to the people tomorrow morning.

However, in the early morning, something even bigger happened. A group of Chinese heroes blew up another Japanese light cruiser, and it seemed that it was done by the same group of Chinese heroes. This immediately caused a bigger sensation.

In the past, if newspaper editors were woken up in the middle of the night and asked to write articles all night, no one would be willing to do it, no matter how much money they were paid.

After all, in this era, people who can become editors of major newspapers are very prestigious and have no shortage of money.

However, when all the newspaper editors knew the details, they were so excited that they immediately got up from their beds and rushed directly to the newspaper office. They had already come up with an outline on the way.

They are literati, and literati have their own way of serving the country. The pens in the hands of all editors are the best weapons. They want to use passionate words to awaken the Chinese people's consciousness of resistance.

Of course, the premise of all this is that our troops must win battles, and win big victories. Otherwise, no matter how many brilliant articles they write, it will be of no use.

Moreover, many conscientious newspaper owners changed the front-page headlines of their newspapers as soon as they learned of the specific situation.

Although doing so would cause the newspaper to lose a lot of money, at this critical moment, no one would care about this small amount of money. Now everyone has only one goal in mind, which is to tell all the people this great news.

The next morning, people in Shanghai had breakfast as usual, usually soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Zhang Duolin, male, 28 years old, a native of Shanghai, we can call him Xiao Zhang.

He was an ordinary clerk in a foreign company in the British Concession. When the Japanese invaded, he was reluctant to leave his superior living conditions and did not retreat to the rear, but chose to stay in the concession.

After all, in his mind, no matter how brutal the Japanese were, they would not dare to attack the concessions of foreign powers, so the safety of his entire family was still guaranteed.

However, although his family lived a relatively good life, other compatriots in Shanghai were living in dire straits, which made Xiao Zhang feel extremely sad from time to time.

Moreover, although the foreign bosses in the foreign companies used to bully Chinese employees like them, the national government was still in existence at that time, so the foreigners did not dare to be too presumptuous.

But now most of China's territory has been lost, the government has moved to the mountain city, and Shanghai has been occupied by the Japanese. Life for these Chinese employees has become very difficult.

They are often bullied and even beaten for no reason by foreigners. Faced with such situations, they can only swallow their anger.

Although Xiao Zhang wears a suit and tie every day and seems to be a successful person, who can understand the depression in his heart? He is just a poor man struggling in troubled times.

It was also because of this that Xiao Zhang secretly donated a quarter of his income to some anti-Japanese organizations without telling his family. He was even a peripheral member of our intelligence agency in Shanghai.

Of course, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to call him an external personnel. We did not let Xiao Zhang participate in any intelligence gathering work. We just hoped that he would use his position in the foreign company to help us purchase some important supplies.

Even if our intelligence personnel are exposed and captured by the enemy, it will not affect Xiao Zhang. After all, he is not our comrade.

There are many peripheral personnel like Xiao Zhang in Shanghai. They are all passionate young people who are unwilling to be slaves of a conquered country.
