Chapter 221 Untitled
The environment changes people, and the harsh environment can change people even more. Some people will become cowardly and completely frightened, just an animal to be slaughtered; some people will become brave and do things they usually don’t dare to think about.
Yes, what most Chinese people talk about is their traditional concept: good and evil will be rewarded in the end. They hate the devils and traitors.
Although I dare not rise up and resist, I dare to curse them and complain about them in my mouth and heart. This is a way of venting.
Judging from the long history of the Chinese people's life and endurance of humiliation, it seems to be a tradition.
However, from the point of view that only focusing on personalities but not public, only talking about fighting spirit and not daring to do it with real swords and guns, I really can't admire the Chinese.
However, it is really puzzling that Chinese culture produces both people who follow the rules and heroes with fierce hearts.
Yes, there are problems with China's traditional culture, the education system, and the concepts and ideas, but this is not a problem that Chen Chen and others want to solve or can solve.
And using killing and passion to alert more people, encourage them to dare to wave their fists and swing their kitchen knives to the devils and traitors who bully them, but there is a realistic possibility, and they are doing it.
Yes, everyone has their own situation. If you want to fly, it depends on whether your body can move.
Even the little swallow couldn't bear to give up a nest of yellow-mouthed little young children and flew on the South China Sea.
Family and relatives are all difficult bonds to let go. You can’t hope that everyone is Yue Wumu and Wen Tianxiang.
Even Chen Chen and Chu Jiao are no exception in this regard. They also have their own bonds and have not completely gotten rid of their concerns.
But Gouzi really admires those heroes who dare to kill the Japanese. Well, there are probably no one in the Chinese people who don’t admire them. Moreover, there are still heroes in Shanghai, so he admires them for their own courage to kill the Japanese.
"I heard that those heroes can go high school, fly over the eaves and walls, and shoot with one hand. The powerful people who hit every shot are better than the swordsman in storytelling."
Looking at the dog's aggressive eyes, Zhang Chengfu smiled and said, "Although it is not as mysterious as you said, the Japanese are not invulnerable to swords and guns, and they still lose their lives when they are shot."
"Brother Yang (the pseudonym of Zhang Chengfu), would you teach me how to shoot?" Gouzi looked at Zhang Chengfu expectantly.
Zhang Chengfuneng gradually emerged in Cao Bingsheng's gang, but he showed some pistol skills to be convinced. He was also very good at fighting in conflicts with other gangs.
Looking at the dog's expectant eyes, Zhang Chengfu pondered without saying a word.
Although this brat has become a bit of a ruffian in his wandering habits, it is essentially different from a real gangster. Especially his concept of good and evil is the same as that of normal Chinese.
That's right, Gouzi hated the Japanese and hated the traitor who was accomplice of the tiger. Outside the venue of the fundraising event, he dared to smash the spy on No. 76 with a stone. Seeing Xiaoping being bullied in Nanshi, Gouzi gritted his teeth with hatred.
Moreover, a dog has no worries, and people without worries are more likely to take risks. Just like a person is so poor that he has only one life left, what else does he care about?
Will it often be the ones who are forced to take risks and choose?
Many Chinese people don’t know that only bombs and pistols can solve everything. But even if the bomb is at hand, they dare not throw it away. They will only perfunctorily and bow their heads, and regard revenge as too risky and excessively intense.
But that's true, the dog seems immature. If he has a weapon, he will probably do it impulsively, regardless of the consequences.
Zhang Chengfu can teach him how to shoot, and teach him how to mature faster. But now, he still has to test the dog.

The "Blood Flag Gate" announced in the newspaper that it was responsible for the killing of Ma Xiaotian and the Japanese, which undoubtedly caused another great response and shock.
"We have very little information about this 'Blood Flag Sect'." Li Shijun frowned and said, "I paid attention to it. It seems to be a very capable and mysterious organization. Judging from its extortion of money, it seems to have nothing to do with the Military Commission and the Central Commission."
"A master of the martial arts world? Or an organization outside the Military Control Commission, an organization outside the Central Administration?" Ding Motun stroked his forehead, looking a little difficult, "I have no clue and I have no idea how to start."
Although the Central Military Commission and the Central Military Commission are huge, it is easier to find a breakthrough because of its large number of personnel. There is a rebellion that is likely to be pulling up radishes to bring out mud, and a series of secret agents will be implicated.
But the "Blood Flag Sect" is obviously different. If there are few and strong people, it will be difficult to deal with.
"I think, focus on using gang forces and inquire more information, and you may gain something." Li Shijun suggested: "Especially, the gangs in the concession have a lot of people, but they are all over the place, and the news is very well-informed."
"Okay, that's it." Ding Motun looked at Li Shijun and said, "Spend more money, don't be stingy. As long as you work well, you won't have to worry about funds."
Seeing that there was nothing else, Li Shijun got up and left, and returned to his office. He picked up the phone and asked his confidant Wu Daoshen to come to the office.
It was not long since Wu Daoshen came to the office.
"We need to inquire more about the 'Blood Flag Sect', that's the enemy we have been looking for. Have you never heard of this organization before?" Because Wu Daoshen is a treasonist of the Military Control Commission, Li Shijun hopes that he can know some other information.
"'Blood Flag Sect'? I really haven't heard of it when I was in the Military Control Commission." Wu Daoshen looked puzzled and said, "I'm afraid this has to be on the gang, and they have a lot of news."
Li Shijun looked at Wu Daoshen. He always suspected that there were spies inside No. 76 and was informing him. But Wu Daoshen did not look like this, but he did not dare to believe it completely.
"That's what it means." Li Shijun thought about it and felt that there was nothing else to explain, so he waved his hand and said, "You can find more people from the Military Control Commission, inquire with all parties, and do it quickly!"
Wu Daoshen turned and left, only Li Shijun was left in the office. He frowned and thought about it, and suddenly felt that his original decision was correct.
Originally, Li Shijun recruited Ding Motun and recommended Ding Motun as the "front desk manager", which was originally a strategic behavior under the guiding ideology of "just seek profit, not to seek fame".
Because Li Shijun felt that taking the lead in colluding with the Japanese was very risky, he was likely to become the target of the Central Commission for the Military Commission assassination.
Therefore, the ideal division of labor is to let Ding Motun do the things he shows up and count the money himself later.
Now, although the Central Government's organization left in Shanghai has been destroyed and has received greater appreciation from the Japanese, it has also attracted revenge.
Of course, Ding Motun should be the primary target, which scared him so much that he didn't dare to leave No. 76, and even had to hide in the bathroom with steel plates at night when he went to bed.
Of course, Li Shijun also knew that he was also on the blacklist of assassination, but at least he was under Ding Motun, so this is probably a big deal.
However, the situation is different now, and the French Concession is equivalent to opening the door to No. 76, so he will do a big fight, trying to squeeze Ding Motun out and be the boss himself.
As for this Blood Flag Sect, Li Shijun guessed that it was a small group of military or Central Military Commission spies, who deliberately fabricated it in order to divert attention.
…………………
Some of the information is very systematic and intuitive, and the value can be seen at a glance; some are fragmented and even seem insignificant.
But an excellent agent can carefully analyze and study, and use full imagination to draw valuable clues from it.
Of course, Li Shijun and Ding Motun didn't know how the killers of the "Blood Flag Sect" acted, and how could they guarantee such a high success rate.
So, they imagined a traitor who did not exist and began to investigate.
The spies have low professional skills, but they have been trained. Gang characters often fight and kill, but they have to do the job of agents, but they are even more amateur.
Chen Chen didn't know these yet, and he might not care about them for the time being. He was now surprised by his intuition, that is, the strength of his sixth sense, and repeatedly pondered the reasons.
Intuition is dangerous. He had experienced it in his previous life, but he was not as powerful as he is now, nor so accurate.
If he relies on his instinctive intuition to avoid danger and find the enemy through keen observation and meticulous thinking, it is actually not very accurate.
Intuition is to skip the logical level and directly reflect the results into thinking. The accuracy of the results depends greatly on a person's judgment ability.
So, generally speaking, the intuition is "knowing the truth but not the reason". You don't know whether the reaction was correct at that time, and it is difficult to explain why there was such a reaction.
Chen Chen does not deny that his observation ability is sharper than that of ordinary people and his judgment is accurate than that of ordinary people. But this is the result of long-term training and accumulation of practical experience, and it is the reaction of alertness and habits that have soaked into the entire body.
But suddenly it has increased to a level that surprised him, so he can only use another explanation to explain it.
…………………
A young man and a woman sat on the bench on the Bund. The girl looked like a half-open lotus. She looked at the scenery around her and smiled in her heart, feeling that the gusts of light wind were blowing for herself.
The wind blows over and takes away some fragrance on your body. It is so refreshing that it can emit fragrance in the early summer of life.
Chen Chen disguised himself as he sat on the bench with Su Mengyu, and no one spoke. But Chen Chen still cheered for the girl full of youthful atmosphere in front of him.
The sleeves are only at the elbow, and a pair of lotus-like arms. The hair is half hidden on the forehead, and the black eyes are like two gems full of luster. They also look so light and powerful when walking, and the red on the cheeks is moist and not a big pair of laughter.
If it weren't for this damn war, if it weren't for the hateful Japanese devil, she should be studying peacefully and happily, working, fighting for her future, or holding the boy she likes to talk about love together.
But now, men and women of her age are involuntarily involved in the whirlpool of this bloody battle.
Chen Chen remembered Chu Jiao, He Xiaoyan, Ms. Mao again... and the young man who threw grenades at the Japanese devils and then lay quietly on the roadside. They were taking responsibility that did not belong to them with their lives and blood.
When the national crisis was in its inflict, so many people were passionate and innocent, angry and extreme. Whether it was young students or weak scholars, they were not afraid of the assassination of spies.
Besides, have you also found feelings, fun, and the sense of responsibility that should belong to me and the pleasure of redemption from the killings I was tired of in my previous life?
"Brother Shen, Macau is smaller than Hong Kong?" Su Mengyu said, "Portugal is not as powerful as Britain, right?"
Chen Chen knew what Su Mengyu wanted to say, but that's the case. Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese, but Macau was safe.
"Macau is smaller than Hong Kong, but small also has small benefits, and is not as chaotic as Hong Kong." Chen Chen said half the truth and half in fabrication: "Besides, passports are easier to get."
Su Mengyu thought for a while and said, "Yesterday there was an article in the newspaper saying that the country was in trouble and that personal personal affairs, such as love, filial piety and brotherhood, can be ignored. It must be beneficial to the country and put everything aside. Just like a man and a woman in love, if the country is no longer a country, even if a lover becomes a relative, he will be just a pair of fallen slaves who can fall in love."
"This is a bit extreme." Chen Chen paused and said, "Is personal happiness and the future of the country and social responsibility just incompatible with it? It's not easy to say. I'm not a saint, but I think even a person who is dedicated to the country cannot think about a great cause all day long, right?"
Su Mengyu looked at Chen Chen and asked again: "Does Brother Shen think it is appropriate to talk about personal happiness at this time?"
"This is not a question of whether it is appropriate or not. Does anything mean only when it is connected to the country?" Chen Chen said calmly: "Anyway, I am a plain person and cannot reach the level of ideal characters in the minds of some people."
Su Mengyu seemed to have got the answer she wanted, and picked up a weed beside the chair, grabbed it without a second, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Chen Chen stood up, went to the stall next to buy soda and melon seeds, and came back and placed it between the two of them. He called Su Mengyu and ate it slowly first.
Su Mengyu smiled, feeling a little embarrassed to eat, but also felt embarrassed not to eat. Although she had visited the park and drank tea before, what does that taste and what does it taste like? This time the food seemed to have a special meaning.
Chen Chen was just a test, both for Su Mengyu and Zhang Renkui. Because Su Mengyu often goes in and out of Zhang Renkui's home in the public concession now, and his relationship is very close to the old lady.
But Su Mengyu obviously had some misunderstandings. She was also testing Chen Chen's views on personal happiness. Because she also had questions, why Chen Chen seemed to have no woman close to her.
Not far away, a man and a woman came. The man was holding an umbrella with a diligent umbrella, while the woman was hiding under the umbrella, quiet and romantic.
