Wu Zhongzhao's dinner was really not that good. He invited almost all the famous people in SIPG. People flattered each other, and most of them gathered around Bai Er. Even Bai Yi's market has improved a lot. How do you say that?The eunuchs next to the emperor have the same status as the ministers of the country.

And Wu Zhongzhao obviously enjoyed the feeling of being flattered, he had a smile on his face all night, and when he left he was still drunk and said that he would continue to entertain everyone tomorrow night.

As a result, the next day, the situation changed.

Before dawn, when it was foggy and it was hard to see the direction, someone boarded the gate of the Bai mansion. This person was the most well-informed person under Bai Er's second hand. Bai Er had his own source of information, and spent a fortune every year. Fi money.

This man was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a black overcoat with a bulge around his waist. One could tell at a glance that he must not be someone to mess with. He obviously frequented Bai's house, and the servants only did their usual work. , did not give him a few more glances.

"Second Master, it seems that things are not going well." This person came up to tell the bad news first, "The fight has already begun, and the war has officially begun!"

He said sadly: "I heard that we will soon hit SIPG, you should make a decision early!"

Just as Bai Er took a sip of coffee, he was sitting on the sofa with Bai Yi, enjoying this rare time of rest, when suddenly someone delivered bad news, and the voice was so loud that he wished that the whole world could hear his news.

After Bai Er and Bai Yi took a look at the letter paper, they realized that the war was not far away from them, and it took more than a day by train. Now that the train speed is slow, more than a day is indeed close.

The man also said: "Their weapons are better than ours. Brigadier Zhou resisted desperately, and the whole army was wiped out. Only one person died and five were slightly injured."

There is not enough ammunition. Others use guns. They use old-fashioned guns that can only kill people by shooting one meter in front of them.

Bai Er narrowed his eyes slightly: "... Brigadier Zhou...Zhou Fuhai?"

That person: "That's him! Back then you said he had a pig's nose!"

Bai Er: "...Don't mention the past, Brigadier Zhou is good, it's a pity."

The man said again: "If you want me to say, his death will be in vain!"

Bai Yi asked, "How do you say that?"

The man pursed his mouth: "Just as he sacrificed with his own soldiers, his neighbors tied up his wife and son and gave them to the Japanese. They said that it was the surname Zhou who had enmity with the Japanese, and with them. is irrelevant."

Bai Yi was suddenly speechless, and it was the first time in his life that he knew what it meant to be speechless.

The man said: "You can't win a fight. We don't have guns! We don't have fighter jets. We don't have anything. It's useless to rely on long knives."

The man was eloquent: "In my opinion, there are still French and British people in SIPG, and it can barely be safe for a while, but France and the UK are too far away, it is useless, even the United States, it is not easy to intervene, at most Come sell some weapons."

Bai Yi also knows that the current national strength is weak because the manufacturing industry is backward, and weapons that are easy to see for foreign countries cannot be produced in China. There are still many regiments. When they heard that foreign guns have bayonets, they tied the daggers with cloth strips. Soil | On the head of the gun, it is used to imitate foreign guns.

With advanced weapons, only the direct line troops of the chairman are all American products.

The man said: "So, I think it's better for the second master to go abroad for the time being. It's not safe in the country. The properties in SIPG can be sold as soon as they can be sold. There is no need to keep the house. When the situation calms down, come back. When the time comes, the second master will hold it." If you have money, with Second Master's ability, can't you make a comeback?"

Bai Yi was startled by this man's gaze at this moment - because what this man said was right.

Now Bai Er's wealth is his life talisman.

Bai Er looked at Bai Yi: "What do you think?"

Bai Yi sat upright and said very seriously: "I have the same thought as this gentleman. Since the situation is not very good, we must act decisively. It is best for you to go abroad as soon as possible. In my opinion, you can go to the United States or the United Kingdom. Going to Singapore is also good. .”

Bai Er frowned and asked, "What about you?"

Bai Yi didn't know how to answer, he lowered his head and didn't look at Bai Er.

He also wants to leave, because he knows that this is not his real world, but for some reason, he has a sense of mission—this sense of mission is inexplicable and unimaginable, but he feels that only by staying can he do more thing.

He still remembers a classmate from Sichuan in his class who mentioned modern history to others and said: "There is no coward in Sichuan. At that time, people from all over the country fled to Sichuan, and the Sichuan army wanted to go out!"

Other students asked: "And then? Did they win?"

The classmate stopped talking.

The Sichuan army left Sichuan to save their compatriots, but few were able to return home.

Bashu is naturally dangerous and the roads are impassable, so it is a good place to take refuge.

Everyone else fled, and the soldiers went out.

At that time in Sichuan, except for the elderly and children, young and middle-aged people were all soldiers.

With him taking the lead, many students talked about which generals had come out of their hometown, and the people in their province were not cowards. They were proud of this, and proud of being the heirs of a piece of land.

The predecessors who were born on the same land are all relatives.

Everyone said that if they went back to that era, they would definitely serve as soldiers, while the female students said that if they were physically unable to go to the battlefield, they would also have to serve as medical soldiers.

Only Bai Yi felt that if it was him, he would build a large factory to produce strategic weapons that the country did not have the technology at that time.

There are tanks in Japan today, but many people in the country don't even know what a tank is.

Not to mention medicines—that would never be enough, not even clean bandages.

Bai Er: "You don't want to go?"

Bai Yi couldn't say a thousand words, but just nodded.

Bai Er smiled: "I don't want to go either."

"I was born and raised in SIPG, why do I want to leave when foreigners come?" Bai Er's face darkened, his expression and gaze became extremely stern, "Even if I leave, I'm tired of living and want to leave , which onion is a foreigner?”

The man: "Hey! Second Master! What are you doing at this moment? Your property will be lost at that time!"

Bai Er smiled and said, "Don't they care about the big powers at all?"

The man was taken aback: "My lord is still following..."

Bai Er wiped his fingers carefully with a handkerchief: "The cunning rabbit has three holes, let alone me? I never thought of turning myself into a fat pig, waiting for others to slaughter me!"

"If they don't come to provoke me, there will be nothing wrong with both sides. If they come to provoke me." Bai Er spread his hands, pretending to be helpless, "Then I will also be forced to fight back."

Bai Er is a person who has no feelings for family and country - he has no affection for his small family, let alone "everyone".

However, he is very protective of food and thinks that SIPG is his own SIPG. Anyone who wants to take food from a tiger's mouth is against him.

If you are right with him, it will definitely not end well.

Bai Er snorted coldly: "Don't talk about Japanese officials, even if their emperor comes, I will not leave!"

The man had nothing to say, he could only say: "Second Master, take care! I'm going to go to the West by boat. Hey, I have a big family, and I always think about my family."

He has earned a lot of money from Bai Er in these years, so he said: "Some of my brothers stay in Shanghai, I will find someone, and I will bring someone to meet you in the afternoon. If you want to hear any news in the future, just Just look for him, not to mention the streets and alleys, he knows everything about the bureau."

Bai Er didn't refuse either. Although he had more than one intelligence agent, it was fine to have more.

Now with an extra pair of eyes, there is more protection.

Sure enough, from this day on, the curfew that was originally abolished began again. From ten o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning, civilians were no longer allowed to walk on the street. If anything happened during the curfew, it would be ignored.

At the same time, the Japanese also came, their cars drove directly into the city, and the supreme commander directly entered the consulate.

The people of SIPG panicked, and so did the respectable people. Many people wanted to flee—but the gates outside the city were guarded by heavy soldiers, and no one was allowed to leave the city except for those doing business.

Bai Er's business also encountered difficulties.

His pharmaceutical factory was closed, and besides the pharmaceutical factory, even the shoe factory was also closed.

Originally, most of his factories were built in other places, but only the two most important factories were built in SIPG. At this time, Bai Er was furious.

Shao Zuo Yamamoto came to the door himself, and said to Bai Er in stammering Mandarin: "Mr. Bai, the shoe factory can be reopened, but the pharmaceutical factory, we want to expropriate."

Bai Eryin said with a dark face: "The pharmaceutical factory is the most profitable factory."

Yamamoto said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, you need the pharmaceutical factory, and we also need it very much. I am personally willing to pay a sum of money to buy the pharmaceutical factory from you."

"How about three thousand dollars?" Yamamoto said with a smile on his face and an arrogant attitude.

Bai Er: "Just a batch of inventory in the factory is more than [-] US dollars."

Yamamoto looked incomprehensible: "I don't understand Mr. Bai's meaning. Where are the stocks? Those machines of yours are all old. It's a great advantage to give you three thousand dollars."

The veins on Bai Er's forehead were exposed. For so long, he was the one who bullied others. Now that he was bullied to the top of his head, he felt that he couldn't bear it any longer. This bastard, let's be whoever he likes.

"In that case, I will give it to the major from the pharmaceutical factory."

Bai Er resumed his usual indifferent expression: "No money will be taken."

Yamamoto: "Oh, Mr. Bai is really a person worth dating. If you are so enthusiastic, we will be even more enthusiastic about you."

After seeing off Yamamoto, Bai Er threw the lamp on the table to the ground, with a fierce expression and vicious eyes: "Damn, what! The bullying came to me! Didn't you want to expropriate my pharmaceutical factory? Let me see what you use to make medicine!"

In the early morning of the next day, the newsboy ran down the street, waving the newspaper in his hand, and shouting as he ran, "The Baijia pharmaceutical factory is on fire!"

"The Baijia pharmaceutical factory caught fire! Dozens of Japanese were burned to death!"

People rushed to buy newspapers.

Everyone is guessing, was the fire accidental or man-made?

When Bai Yi woke up, he saw Bai Er, who had been sullen for many days, sitting on the sofa, with a smile on his face, very relaxed.

——There is no need to guess, it must be Bai Er who made people set the fire.

This man will take revenge, and he can't stand a little bit of anger.
