Beacon 1937

Evening, November [-], [-]

Ivan was overwhelmed by the sudden situation, so he could only stiffen up to avoid being cut in his throat by the jackknife.

He didn't understand why this Chinese youth took him as a hostage. Would the three Japanese in front of him not shoot because of him?

However, to Ivan's surprise, Adjutant Tanaka and the others really hesitated.

"Don't come here! Otherwise I'll kill this foreigner!" The Chinese youth threatened.

He understood that the method that this person came up with in a hurry might be the only chance to escape.The Japanese have concerns. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Japanese war in Shanghai was unplanned. To be precise, the Chinese government forced them to change their aggressive course.

Everyone knows the special situation in Shanghai. If the United States, Britain and France can be made to pay attention to the war situation here, it is possible for Japan to withdraw its troops.However, Aiwen knows that Europe has been greatly impacted by the Great Depression for two years. Although his country has recovered rapidly in the past few years, it is too early for them to send troops at this time, let alone the United States. The order to send troops had to be approved by more than half of the parliamentary votes.

However, if an American citizen is killed here, even if he does not send troops, it may cause the United States to stop exporting military supplies to Japan. This is an extremely serious consequence for an island country with scarce resources... Besides, they have already launched War, let alone those supplies. (Note [-])

In any case, Ai Wen didn't know what to do, and the possibility of firing or not shooting was equally divided.

At this time, Koji Ito, who was wearing a black suit, walked in, but the smile on his face sent chills down the spine, as if a god of death in black had come.The young man behind Ai Wen trembled all over, clenched the knife in his hand even more as if facing a formidable enemy, and instantly cut a shallow thin mark on Ai Wen's neck.

Koji Ito stared at the blood droplets sticking to the blade, his eyes froze with a frozen smile, but he soon raised the corners of his mouth to play with his own gun.

"Do you think that if you take an American doctor as a hostage, we won't shoot?" He opened the safety catch for a while, and then closed it immediately, without looking at the Chinese youth again, he concentrated on playing with his pistol... Meiji [-] year style.

Compared with the Taisho [-]th year style widely used in the military, he prefers this one.Although the Meiji [-]-style is relatively easy to damage, its accuracy, lethality, and penetration are very strong, and it is absolutely dead with a single shot at this distance.

Ai Wen's uneasy heart was even more uncertain when he said this. He even thought that the Japanese officer would beat him to death together.

"If you dare to cut the throat of this American, it's you Chinese who are unlucky and have nothing to do with us. I'm sure you won't kill him." Koji Ito finally set his sights on the Chinese behind Ivan, but His eyes were dark and prey, making the young man's palms sweat unceasingly.

"You inhuman little devils! I want to announce your evil deeds to the public!" The young man shouted excitedly, and the knife cut deeper.This time Aiwen could clearly feel the sting, but he just frowned and tried his best to avoid the knife edge.

"Evil deeds?" Ito Koji looked innocent so he didn't understand.In fact, when he saw the people from the special high school (Note [-]) running towards here, he had already guessed something.If the Chinese hadn't run into the doctor's clinic, he really wouldn't have cared about it.There is no direct functional connection between the Army and the Special High School, and the tasks they are in charge of are completely different.Even though the Army has set up special courses, the Army will basically not participate in the operations of the courses.Except in the song and dance hall three months ago, due to special orders from above, it is another matter.

"You abuse prisoners of war!" the young man said harshly and grabbed the camera in his hand.

"..." Koji Ito smiled and said for a long time, "I guess, you are just a newspaper reporter? Why bother with things that might cost you your life? You can continue to carry forward under the name of those Europeans." Patriotism' isn't it? We don't care about the little things."

His sarcasm cut the hearts of Chinese reporters like a knife, and even Ai Wen couldn't help frowning.
