MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 670 Evacuation of the whole territory of Shanghai (Part 1)
"Oh, you probably don't know who Liu Xie, the mayor of Yuanjiang City is..." Zeng Bo interrupted Commander Ma halfway through his words.
"Report the company commander! I know! I think we should all know!" Zeng Bo shouted in a rage, "The movie "Yuanjiang! Yuanjiang!" contains the story of the heroic sacrifice of Liu Xie, the mayor of Yuanjiang, in the war of resistance. !"
"Oh, you mean that big movie with hundreds of millions of investment, no star cast, and completed in less than three months, I've been in the army and haven't watched it yet. It turned out that Magistrate Liu was shot. , uh, the deeds of Mayor Liu... Well, it's very good, if no one remembers his heroic deeds after he dies, it's really sad. Hey, Mayor Liu is a good official, It’s a pity, it’s really a pity.” Having said this, Company Commander Ma couldn’t help sighing, and the veterans also sighed.
After a while, Company Commander Ma remembered that his original purpose was to cheer up these new recruits, so he cleared his throat and said again: "So, fear is not shameful, and cowardice is not shameful, I will be with you on the day the recruits join the army. Said, as a soldier of my horse forward, you shouldn't know how to write the word fear, hehe, it's all bluffing, you are all people with higher education, how can you not write the word?"
"It's really not ashamed to be afraid. Anyone who goes to the battlefield for the first time has to be afraid. Those who are not afraid of death are those with weak heads, but they are clearly afraid and have to summon the courage to rush forward. That is a hero. Mayor Liu said it well, there is no natural hero, the responsibility is in front of you, you have to bear it! No matter how afraid you are, you have to grit your teeth! If you go up, you will be a hero! When this battle is over, you will be They're all veterans, they're all heroes!"
It must be admitted that Captain Ma's ability to boost morale is really uncomplimentable. If these remarks are regarded as pre-war mobilization, I am afraid it will not be able to inspire people's hearts. It is a kind of magnificent magic that arouses the desire to become a hero in the hearts of recruits who have recently joined the army.
As for Zeng Bo, because of the sentence "the responsibility is in front of you, you have to bear it", recalling the reason why he decided to join the army in the first place, when he thought of the dream he had that night, and the corpses of Instructor Cheng and Dan Guodong in the dream, Zeng Bo No longer trembling nervously.
Perhaps, the transformation from ordinary people to warriors did not happen on the battlefield, but at the moment of stepping on the battlefield.
However, Zeng Bo and Company Commander Ma both guessed the mission of the trip wrong. They did not set foot on the battlefield, at least not the battlefield where the smoke filled the scorched earth as they imagined.
After the 161, 163, and 177 divisions arrived, they received orders to complete the evacuation control work with the comrades in the garrison area.
Due to Shanghai's proximity to the Nandu Military Region, a large number of military hub buildings in the south, and the poor strategic location of Shanghai, Shanghai is the only city in the three major political, financial and economic centers of Shanghai, Gwangju and Shanghai that does not have a military region. The military strength of the Shanghai Garrison Area alone is simply unable to complete the evacuation control work for the entire territory of Shanghai with a permanent population of more than 23 million.
This is the first time Zeng Bo came to Shanghai in this life. At first glance, he did not see the prosperity in the TV camera, but saw the fortifications and steel fortresses that were built at an unknown time.
Shanghai, the romantic city known as the Paris of the East, had to cast aside its restraint in the shadow of the magic tide.
From the official issuance of the evacuation order, trains, motor trains, passenger cars, automobiles, planes, ships and other means of transportation that can be used have been running day and night between major cities and Shanghai. The huge and convenient transportation system of Shanghai is constantly absorbing the flow of people, transporting the people living in Shanghai out of this beautiful city full of dreams in batches.
Despite the evacuation plan, the evacuation started with chaos
Three days after he came to Shanghai, Zeng Bodu still had an unreal feeling, as if he was floating in the clouds, as if his military boots were not on the ground.
What does it mean to evacuate the whole territory of Shanghai? Means the central decision to abandon the city.
The central government even decided to give up Shang Hai! Abandon this political, cultural, economic and financial center!
The removal of 23 million people means that at least 5 million people will be homeless, and the so-called big cities around Shanghai, whose tonnage is completely different from Shanghai, cannot accept it at all. Even if the population of 23 million is mobilized, it is impossible to properly resolve this matter.
Zeng Bo can imagine the anger and despair of the people of Shanghai. The day before, you were a proud Shanghai native, living in this famous cultural and economic city, with a life and identity envied by outsiders, and enjoying the dream of an international metropolis. In a similar urban environment, but when you open your eyes after falling asleep, you will lose your current job, life and house, and you have to go to that remote backcountry to suffer. No one can stand such a gap.
The person who impressed Zeng Bo the most was a woman from Shanghai, who was in her fifties. She wore gold and silver, jewels, and brightly colored clothing that did not give off a gaudy feeling until she opened her eyes. Painted my aunt's red lips.
In the conversation room, after Zeng Bo repeated the original text of the evacuation notice three times, Madam Shang Hai angrily left the seat, rushed to Zeng Bo and jabbed him in the chest and shouted.
"Little Chi, Ala has been in Shanghai for more than fifty years, is Nong just leaving? There are no words in Sen!"
Zeng Bo was stunned for a moment, and after hearing the explanation of his colleague next to him, he realized that the woman was talking about the Huzhi of God, which means lawlessness. He was stunned for a short time without stopping the woman. Zeng Bo half face.
Then Zeng Bo turned his face to his colleague, but saw the colleague's gloomy face. At Zeng Bo's repeated request, the colleague translated what the woman said in Shanghai dialect into Mandarin and told Zeng Bo: "I am staying in Shanghai. For more than fifty years, you drove me away? Lawless! My house is in Shanghai, my roots are in Shanghai, and my life is in Shanghai! Let me go, impossible! What if there are monsters, if there are monsters Come here, you protect us! Back then, the little devils came over, and Jiang bald head also fought a battle in Songhu. Now you guys in military uniforms don't know how to defend the country, but you know how to bully us ordinary people! You bastards!"
