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

"Chengzu, it's too difficult for ordinary people like us to seek revenge."

"I heard that the price of arms on the black market is ridiculously high. The most common second-hand pistol costs a hundred dollars. The bullets are also ridiculously expensive. One dollar can only buy eight bullets. Even if we put our net worth together, we can't come up with that much money."

"Besides, you think everything will be fine once you have a pistol and bullets? We ordinary people have never come into contact with them. Even if we had a pistol, we wouldn't know how to use it, and we wouldn't even be able to shoot accurately. It would be even more troublesome if we did, and we would lose our lives in vain."

Even though what Brother Ge said was true and it was a gap that they could not cross, Brother Zhang was still very sad after hearing it.

To be honest, he was indeed a little anxious and angry now, mainly because there was no result at all, or even to put it bluntly, there was not even a single serious action. He was now doubting whether what they were doing was any use.

If their action had been successful, even just once, even if only one enemy had been killed, he would definitely have put his greatest enthusiasm into the action, instead of being trapped in endless confusion like he is now.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to the team's temporary base and reported on their gains for the day.

This was something that military advisor Mr. Zhang had specifically instructed. Every day when going out for reconnaissance, he had to tell him everything he saw and heard. Only in this way could he find the patterns in the tedious things, such as how often the Japanese soldiers changed shifts, when a soldier would travel alone, or some other things.

Mr. Zhang would find the key points based on what the team members said, record them in detail by date, and use them for intelligence analysis.

Now their team is like a hunter lurking in the dark, constantly looking for opportunities to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

This is also the most common choice of ordinary Chinese people. When facing a powerful enemy, they have no choice but to fight back. Even if each person, or even a team of ten people, achieves a little bit of success, such as killing a Japanese soldier, it can weaken the enemy's strength a little bit.

The regular troops on the front line have their own combat deployments, the guerrillas have their own combat skills, and ordinary people have their own ways of fighting. This is an all-out war of resistance, and everyone has to contribute.

However, this afternoon, when the two came back, they found that Mr. Zhang was not there, and it was not time for class. According to past experience, Mr. Zhang should be organizing intelligence at the base.

However, since the person who was reporting was not there, the two of them went back. If Mr. Zhang came back later, someone would notify them to come to the meeting.

When Brother Ge returned home, his son had just finished school, so he decided to cook for his son first and fill his own stomach at the same time. After all, he had walked all day and had only eaten a pancake at noon.

Fortunately, his son's school provides lunch at noon, which makes things very convenient for their family. At least they don't have to take care of the little guy too much.

In fact, it is called a school, but it is just a few houses that have been renovated and used as classrooms. There are usually two or three classes with about two hundred children, and three to four teachers who are responsible for teaching students literacy and some basic knowledge, such as mathematics, Chinese, etc.

The main reason is that these children are from poor families nearby. Their families don’t have many resources and can barely make ends meet.

Children around ten years old are in the growth stage and cannot help with housework. Now they can go to school to learn to read and write, and there are people to take care of them. This is a great blessing for ordinary people like Brother Ge.

"Huzi, what did you learn in school today?"

"Dad, today the teacher taught us Chinese, and there's a saying in the text: A vengeance ten generations past can be avenged, even a hundred generations past."

"Huzi, your father is just a rough guy. I don't understand your flowery language. Can you explain it to me?"

"Father, what the master meant by these words is: let us not forget the suffering and humiliation that the Chinese nation is currently enduring. We must avenge this hatred in the future, even if it takes a thousand or ten thousand years."

"The teacher also explained to us in detail the origins of the relationship between China and Japan. Fifteen hundred years ago, during the Tang Dynasty, Japan was still a wild and untamed land, so they sent a large number of envoys and students to learn advanced technology from us."

"At that time, the Tang Empire welcomed the people of Wa Island with an incredibly broad mind and generosity. Unexpectedly, a thousand years later, they were bitten back. This is the legendary story of the farmer and the snake."

"That's all I remember. The gentleman also mentioned something else, but I don't remember it."

When Brother Ge heard his son say so many philosophical words, he was extremely happy. His son would definitely be a cultured person in the future, unlike him who couldn't even write his own name.

"Huzi, you've made it big. Daddy is happy for you. Daddy doesn't understand those big principles, but your mother and your sister were killed by the Japanese invaders. We must avenge this blood feud no matter what. Otherwise, your mother and sister will blame us in the afterlife."

"If Daddy can't avenge me, you have to carry on Daddy's legacy when you grow up. At the very least, you have to kill those two little devils."

After hearing this, Ge Xiaohu nodded seriously. An unprecedented maturity was seen in his young face, a maturity so deep that it made people feel distressed.

Facing national hatred and family feuds, facing the most powerful enemy China has not seen in thousands of years, everyone must be united. If they remain scattered, the country will be destroyed and the race will be extinct.

This situation is extremely common in all major battlefields in China. "The greatest heroes serve their country and their people." Little people also have their own way of serving their country. As long as they can cause losses to the invaders, they don't care about any methods.

For example, if the Japanese or traitors go to the countryside to steal food, the common people can hide the food to prevent the enemy from gaining any benefits. This is also a way of repaying the country.

Then, Brother Ge continued, "Huzi, I'll go cook for you. Tonight we'll have canned meat and stir-fried vegetables. Let's have a good meal together, father and son."

After saying that, he walked into the kitchen and took out a can that he had left behind. After opening it, he prepared to fry one-third of it first, and would wait for two days before eating the rest. Eating a can of food for one meal was a treatment only enjoyed by wealthy landlords.

This can was also specially shipped back by us from Kangaroo Country. In addition to various meats, it also contains a lot of vegetable oil and a large amount of salt. It would be very salty if eaten alone, but if used for cooking by ordinary people, it would be a top-notch product.

Just add a little canned meat when cooking every day, and you don’t even need to add oil, salt, MSG or soy sauce, which can save you a lot of money.
