Chapter 840 We Don’t Need to Panic, They Should Be Panic
The secretary was speechless. She had just taken a look at the photo. There were so many people in the photo. How could Lieutenant Colonel Asaka find her man among so many people?
It's really incomprehensible.
"Yes, the general has always been here, and even the most outstanding one, a lieutenant general under 30, is unmatched in the world. Even if she didn't see it, it didn't affect her flattery of Asaka Hiderei.
"You are a teachable child." Chaoxiang Xiuling took some money out of her pocket and handed it to her. "I like to hear the truth."
Ha ha……
The secretary was speechless when she saw the handful of money in her hand. She felt that the lieutenant colonel in front of her was just a nouveau riche.
"Let's go and see my father. I think he will be very happy with this news." He walked towards the farmhouse on the hillside across the river towards Xiuling.
My eldest sister bought that place a long time ago, and my father-in-law also lived there before he returned to Suzhou.
It was drizzling and the courtyard was deep. Except for the steps, most of the roads in the mountain city were covered with yellowish mud. Fortunately, the road was hardened with cement, so Asaka Hiderei, who was wearing black leather shoes, was not stained with mud at all.
After knocking on the door for a while, someone opened it.
"Auntie Wu, is my father here?" Auntie Wu had been taking care of Xiao Ya in Nanjing. Later, she followed the master here to help with cooking and cleaning the house, and has been here ever since then without going back.
"Here I am, Second Young Madam." Aunt Wu quickly opened the door a little, and after welcoming Chao Xiang Xiuling in with a smile, she said to the inside, "Master, Second Young Madam is back."
Zhou Jixian, who was standing under the eaves discussing with Xiao's father that they must not return home until they were drunk, heard that Chao Xiang Xiuling had arrived. His serious face suddenly became gentle. "Xiuling is here. You came just in time. I was planning to celebrate with Old Man Xiao today."
"Dad, it seems you already know about Awen's massacre."
"Yes." Zhou Jixian smiled and said to Wu Ma, "Hurry up and find a set of clothes for the Second Young Madam to change into. It's raining and her clothes are all wet."
After entering the room, Zhou Jixian opened the newspaper. "Awen did a great job this time. He dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army's arrogance. Not only did he get to take a photo with Xiao Zhuge and his group, he's worthy of being my son."
There were two key reports in the newspaper. The first showed the commander of the Ninth War Zone personally commanding the battlefield and taking a photo with the frontline commanders standing in front of several tanks. Zhou Jixian knew most of the people in the photo.
Fang Shengli, Sano Tadayoshi, the third daughter-in-law, Little Zhuge, Chief of Staff Wu, and others were present, but Takeshita Shun was absent. Perhaps he was out on a mission. Ah Wen, his hands folded on a command knife, looked straight ahead with a smile. A later version showed a photograph of a battle. Although the photo was frozen on Yi Shun, even a glance gave one a sense of the ferocity of the battlefield. Perhaps it was the reporter's fault, but he could clearly see Ah Wen holding two daggers, running with unwavering determination. His gaze suggested that E Da charge forward, while the soldiers behind him, their eyes wide with anger, had no idea what lay ahead and followed him unwaveringly.
"Our mountain city boasts over a million brave warriors, yet we've always been subjected to the reckless attacks and invasions of these mere Japanese invaders. This battle has truly demonstrated the prestige of our soldiers, boosted the morale of our troops and the people, and also intimidated some of these scoundrels." Zhou Jixian said, his hands on his hips, awe-inspiring.
Chao Xiang Xiuling lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then looked up. "Father, why don't you organize a fundraiser and go to show your support? The front lines are having a hard time, especially with cigarettes and alcohol being in short supply. Sometimes the medical company can only use strong liquor for disinfection, and many soldiers faint from it. Also, gauze is needed."
"You're right." Zhou Jixian nodded and looked at Father Xiao; "We should indeed hold a fundraising event for the soldiers on the front lines.
ding ding ding...
ding ding...
The phone next to her rang. The secretary standing next to Chao Xiang Xiuling went over to answer the phone and said to Chao Xiang Xiuling, "Madam, Chief Kong called and asked you to go to his house immediately."
"It seems we can't have this meal." Chao Xiang Xiuling looked at Zhou Jixian with a wronged look on her face.
Zhou Jixian pointed at her and said, "Go and do some work. We also need to discuss fundraising. When you're done, come back and I'll have Aunt Wu make you something delicious."
Asaka Hiderei nodded and left with her secretary. She actually had a car, but the mountain city was often hit by Japanese air raids, and the roads were often crushed by collapsed buildings. Sometimes taking a car was worse than walking.
During the time she had been there, the mountain city had suffered at least a dozen air raids. The mass graves outside the city were no longer able to accommodate burials, so people had to move further away.
These areas were relatively safe. If you walked a little further ahead, the air was filled with the scent of incense, candles, and paper money. Even on a sunny day, the city was faintly filled with the smell of rotting flesh. This was the decay of corpses that hadn't been dug up in time.
"Mr. Kong." Chaoxiang Xiuling shouted when she entered the room, but found that there was another person here. She had never seen this person before, but it seemed that he was a secretary because he didn't look very solemn in the Zhongshan suit he was wearing.
"Let me introduce you. This is the secretary of Mr. Dai from the Second Department. I came here today to deliver a message that the Berlin Fleet has landed in the direction of Canada this morning." Fatty Kong knew that Chaoxiang Xiuling liked to eat sushi, so he specially asked someone to prepare some for her and also made a small hot pot for her.
"That means the US already knows about Berlin's surprise attack on Canada." Asaka Hiderei asked while sitting on the sofa.
The middle-aged man wearing glasses nodded. "That should be the case. Our secret code department intercepted it. The signal from there is very frequent."
"Then let's just wait for them to deliver the goods to our door. There's no rush. The ones who should be anxious right now shouldn't be us, but Watsonton, because they are about to face the most dangerous situation in history. This situation is another invasion since they were invaded by others. Last time, they were set on fire, and this time, they are even worse off."
At this point, Chaoxiang Xiuling looked at the thirty-something man sitting opposite her; "You're not just here to deliver a message, are you?"
If they needed to deliver a message, they could just send someone or make a phone call. There was no need to send someone who could enter the core to come over. He must have something important to tell them.
"Miss Xiuling is indeed a rare talent. Yes, I came here this time because I really have something to ask Madam Zhou."
