Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2674 Want money rather than life!

Huo Feng was waiting anxiously in her residence. When she heard that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, she immediately felt relieved.

She was really afraid that Duanwu would not come, and if that happened, it would prove that Duanwu was still angry. Then she really didn't know what to do.

Phoenix City is in a very embarrassing situation after the last traitor appeared and caused great losses to the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

If the Anti-Japanese Brigade abandons Phoenix City, Phoenix City will be in danger.

Fortunately, Duanwu is not a heartless person, and he finally came.

So Huo Feng hurried out to greet him. The moment she saw Duanwu, her eyes were filled with tears and she almost cried.

Duanwu felt sorry for Huofeng, who looked like a wronged young wife. He said, "Let's go inside and talk."

As he spoke, Duanwu motioned for Huofeng to enter the house.

Huo Feng quickly made a gesture of invitation, and then the two of them entered the room one after the other.

The female guards, on the other hand, stayed outside the house.

They knew that the two people had things to say that were not to be told to outsiders, so they would not be so tactless as to follow in.

At the same time, there was an awkward atmosphere in the room.

In fact, Huo Feng had a lot to say to Duan Wu, but she didn't know how to start.

Duanwu was thinking about how to stabilize the situation.

After a long while, Huo Feng was the first to speak: "It's difficult. Can the Anti-Japanese Brigade no longer trust Phoenix City?"

Duanwu sighed and said, "The Fire Phoenix City Lord is in a serious state. I have been too busy recently and have not had a good chat with you about this matter."

At this point, Duanwu paused for a moment, thinking for a moment, and then said: "The stab in the back by Fire Phoenix City this time is very deep. Fortunately, the main leaders of the brigade did not suffer any casualties, otherwise the consequences would be really disastrous!"

Huo Feng nodded repeatedly and said, "I know that it was my fault this time. I was soft-hearted and left behind disasters. But this time, please rest assured. First, I will kill all the traitors and their families, and send people to closely monitor the entire Phoenix City. If anyone behaves as a traitor again, they will be killed without mercy."

Duanwu's mouth twitched. Although he felt that this was beneficial to the anti-Japanese brigade, it seemed a bit too much.

But since Huo Feng had already done it, he couldn't say anything more about it, so he advised:

"Although the Fire Phoenix City Lord's approach has prevented the breeding of traitors, have you ever thought that under such heavy pressure from you, the entire Phoenix City will become depressed and even everyone will be in danger.

This is not a good sign. So you can get rid of traitors, but you can't just use high-pressure means to suppress them. Instead, you should guide the people's hearts and inspire their patriotic enthusiasm and fighting spirit to defeat the enemy.

We need to make them understand that defending their homeland and resisting foreign enemies is everyone’s responsibility and obligation, not just the fear of punishment.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Feng was stunned and fell into a brief trance.

The room was silent for a moment, the only sounds being the occasional sound of wind outside the window and the heartbeats of two people.

Huo Feng was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"Captain Qi, you are right. I was too eager for quick success and only wanted to quickly eliminate the internal troubles, but I ignored the power of people's hearts.

What I should have done was to boost morale and get everyone in Phoenix to become a solid backing against the invaders, rather than living in fear. "

"hehe!"

Duanwu chuckled and felt a little relieved. He knew that Huofeng was a smart man and understood things immediately.

He patted Huo Feng's shoulder gently to show encouragement:

“It’s never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. As long as we start to change from now on, everything is still possible.

Moreover, I believe that the people of Phoenix City all have a desire for peace and freedom in their hearts. As long as we guide them correctly, we will be able to inspire their fighting spirit. No longer believe that the devils are invincible! "

Huo Feng nodded heavily, looked at Duan Wu with admiration and said: "Captain Qi, thank you. It is you who made me see my mistakes and gave me the opportunity to correct them.

From now on, Phoenix City will no longer be the weak spot that worries you, but the strongest backing of the Anti-Japanese Brigade."

Duanwu laughed dryly: "Haha! That's what I want from you, Lord of Fire Phoenix City."

At this point, Duanwu paused, and then continued:

"I have already ordered Suanzi to let the villagers in the arsenal go home, and you must also restore the original order as soon as possible.

The common people must not be allowed to feel that the Anti-Japanese Brigade is a pressure, but rather a relative, one who is willing to risk their lives to protect them at critical moments.

Only when they understand this, they will not betray their loved ones. "

"Uh-huh!"

Huo Feng nodded heavily again, and then the two of them smiled at each other, as if at this moment, all the misunderstandings and estrangements had disappeared.

Afterwards, they began to discuss in detail how to strengthen the defense of Phoenix City, enhance the people's awareness of resisting the enemy, and how to cooperate more closely with the Anti-Japanese Brigade to jointly resist foreign enemies.

When night fell and Duanwu left Phoenix, his heart was filled with relief.

Today's trip to Phoenix was definitely not in vain. Not only did I learn about the production situation of the arsenal, but I also finalized the next steps for the arsenal's development and R&D priorities.

Of course, the most important thing is that it completely resolved the gap between Phoenix City and the Anti-Japanese Brigade, and invisibly brought the two hearts closer together in their struggle for a common ideal.

And the Lord of Fire Phoenix City may also undergo a transformation after tonight.

This was a good sign, as if there was some divine providence at work, helping him during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Think about how many crises he has survived from the Sihang Warehouse to the present.

And this time, he believed that he could get through it as well.

No! He was going to kill them, and he wanted to kill so many devils that their blood would flow like a river.

Thinking of this, Duanwu was in a good mood. He rode his Arabian horse and returned to the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s base.

The mountain road was rugged and the forests were lush. Duanwu rode on the majestic Arabian horse, like a black lightning, galloping on the winding mountain road as if he was walking on flat ground.

"What a good horse!"

Duanwu sighed in his heart, because this was the fastest and most stable horse he had ever ridden.

He liked the gift that Wugan Anda gave him very much.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, when Duanwu was stroking the horse's mane, suddenly there was a sound of rumbling in the forest.

Then, a group of people rushed out from the forest, shouting loudly:

"I built this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass this road, you have to leave money for passage!"

"Uh!"

Duanwu looked a little embarrassed for these bandits. Was he being robbed?

After traveling through time for so long, this was the first time he encountered such a new thing.

He asked back: "Brother, do you know who I am?"

The leader of the bandits holding a pair of axes said disdainfully: "I don't care who you are. Even if the emperor comes, you have to leave your pants behind!"
