During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate

Chapter 43 Zhao Gang spends money to buy an opportunity, the commissioner finally arrives

On the other side, after Zhao Gang and Xiao Cui finished dinner, he did not chat with her for too long as usual, but chose to rest early because he had to go to the county town early the next morning.

Seeing that Zhao Gang seemed to be sleepy, Xiao Cui did not ask any questions. She just gently helped him make his bed, cleaned up the room and left.

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Zhao Gang had already gotten up and washed up.

He put on a neat suit and prepared to go out.

Xiao Cui watched him silently from the side, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Zhao Gang noticed Xiao Cui's gaze and smiled to comfort her, "Don't worry, I won't be in danger."

Xiao Cui nodded.

Zhao Gang patted Xiao Cui's shoulder gently, then turned and walked out of the room.

Zhao Gang led ten guards on the journey to the county town.

They rode their horses at full speed and arrived at the county town at 8:30 in the morning.

When the security soldiers at the city gate saw Zhao Gang and others, they knew that they were the security team of the ancient town, so they let them in without asking any questions.

After entering the county town, Zhao Gang and ten guards first found a place to eat something. After filling their stomachs, they set off towards the security team’s base.

Captain Li was indeed in the camp today. Perhaps because his superiors were going to send a special commissioner to inspect, he restrained his behavior.

Zhao Gang quickly arrived at the gate of the military camp. Because he was wearing the security army uniform and had a familiar face, most people recognized him.

At this time, a soldier on guard came over and said enthusiastically: "Captain Zhao, please follow me. I will take you to see our regimental commander."

Zhao Gang smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you for leading the way."

As he spoke, he took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to the soldier to express his gratitude.

After receiving the money, the man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, thinking that he was so lucky to meet Zhao Gang this time.

This unintentional action made the other party very excited. After all, this was the ocean!

One dollar was enough for him to eat and drink for a month.

Soon, the soldier brought Zhao Gang to the door of Captain Li's office.

"Captain Zhao, please go in. I'll take you here."

"Okay, thank you brother."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he knocked on Captain Li's door, and at this time voices were heard from inside.

"Enter."

Captain Li saw that it was Zhao Gang who came in, so he smiled and said, "Captain Zhao, what brings you here?"

"Captain, our mayor Wang brought me news that a commissioner from the provincial capital will be coming to the county. As the security captain, I need to contribute to the county's public security, so I came to see you to see if there is anything I can do." Zhao Gang said.

"Well, that's the matter. Actually, there's nothing you can do. You just need to make sure there's no problem in your own area. I'm here in the county. I currently have a security team of 2,000 people, and I can't control some ruffians and bandits." Captain Li said confidently.

"Well, that's natural, but I still want to come to the county and work with you to contribute my efforts to ensure the safety of the commissioner."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he smiled at Captain Li.

"Can you give me this opportunity to meet this important official from the provincial capital? After all, this opportunity is rare." He said with pretended excitement.

Captain Li thought to himself, you just want to show off, and you say it so nicely.

But he thought that this kid should be allowed to show up. After all, he came from a wealthy family and might have some connections in the provincial capital.

Maybe it can help me in the future.

Thinking of this, Captain Li couldn't help but smile smugly. "Okay, I agree. You'll leave 100 men in the ancient town to ensure its safety. Then you'll take 200 men into the county seat and work with me to ensure public security there. You'll start tomorrow. I estimate the commissioner will be here within the next two days," Captain Li said.

After hearing this, he nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude and promised to complete the task.

Then he took out another five hundred French francs from his pocket and handed them to Captain Li, saying that he wanted to thank him for his support.

Captain Li was secretly delighted when he saw this, but he pretended to be serious and accepted the money.

Today's legal tender is still very valuable, unlike the inflation during the war, so Captain Li is so happy.

Watching the other person's back as he left, Captain Li was secretly happy and hoped that he would come more often so that he would have money to go out and play.

The next morning, the sun shone across the entire ancient town and people began to get busy.

Zhao Gang brought his men to the military camp and saw that everyone was wandering around blindly, so he gave orders.

"Zhao Yi, you are responsible for continuing here with a hundred people, but you must ensure the safety of the ancient town. I will take two hundred people to the county town and cooperate with Captain Li to complete the public security task." Zhao Gang said to Zhao Yi.

It turned out that he went straight back to Xiaopi Village after leaving the county yesterday, so he could only come to the ancient town early in the morning to arrange things.

"Yes, Captain, don't worry, we won't let anything happen to the ancient town here." Zhao Yi said.

"Okay, let's go."

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he took the remaining 200 people away.

In this operation, everyone was equipped with sophisticated weapons.

Each of them carried a Colt M1911A1 pistol, a classic firearm with powerful power in close combat; in addition, they carried a hundred AK-47 rifles, an automatic rifle known for its high rate of fire and reliability, which could provide continuous fire support.

At the same time, each person also carried five grenades, which could cause huge damage to the enemy in an emergency.

To ensure an adequate supply of ammunition, each man carried 150 rounds of AK bullets and three pistol magazines.

This equipment configuration is sufficient to deal with most situations, and I believe this equipment can handle ordinary threats without any problems.

However, due to the limited number of horses, the remaining 200 people had no choice but to move forward on foot.

They followed Zhao Gang and the guards closely, forming a neat team and heading towards the county town.

After they arrived at the county town, they began to carry out the task given by Captain Li, which was to inspect the entire county town.

Their appearance aroused the curiosity of some people in the county. After all, the guns they carried were different from those of Captain Li, and Siran was wearing the same military uniform.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed by like a flash.

On this day, the sun was shining and the sky was clear. Zhao Gang led his soldiers on patrol in the county town as usual.

Just when they were halfway there, an urgent notice suddenly came: Captain Li asked Zhao Gang to lead the team to the city gate immediately because the commissioner's convoy was about to arrive.

Zhao Gang's heart tightened, realizing that the commissioner had finally arrived.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand to signal his men to speed up and rush towards the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, he was quite surprised by the scene before him - County Magistrate Wang, Director Wang and Captain Li had been waiting there for a long time.

He quickly organized his troops and stood ready, waiting with everyone else for the commissioner from the provincial capital.

Not long after, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and a black car and a military truck slowly came into everyone's sight.

Zhao Gang and others straightened their backs and stared at the approaching vehicle with sharp eyes.

As the vehicle got closer, everyone felt a surge of nervous anticipation.

Finally, the car stopped steadily in front of the city gate. The door opened and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie got out of the car.

He had a serious face and sharp eyes, revealing an aura of majesty without even being angry.

This person is Commissioner Geng who came to inspect this time.
