Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

When the news reached China, the whole country rejoiced.

People flocked to the streets to celebrate the victory, and storytellers in teahouses wove together tales of plunder into lively tales.

In the classroom, the teacher read the newspaper to the students, and the children applauded and cheered.

Victory was achieved on December 15, 1932.

Lin Tian's command post was located in the former Imperial Palace in Tokyo, with pine trees in the courtyard visible from the window.

Brigade Commander Chen stood behind him, holding the bill in his hand, his voice trembling slightly.

"Sir, the gold and silver treasures looted this time are worth about 50 billion silver dollars in total. In addition, there are a large number of cultural relics and works of art, the value of which is immeasurable."

These treasures are enough for us to build a powerful nation. It seems we've plundered quite a bit from other countries.

"Um."

Lin Tian nodded. "Divide the antiques, calligraphy and paintings into three parts: one part to Yan'an, one part to the government to exchange for money, and one part to keep for ourselves."

Brigade Commander Chen was stunned: "Sir, I can understand giving it to Yan'an, but giving it to the government is..."

"The War of Resistance was a victory for the entire nation, not just for any one army. Although Chiang Kai-shek had his own ideas, he was still a Chinese, and he was also wealthy."

"But sir, what if Chiang Kai-shek uses these treasures to fight the civil war..."

That's their business.

Lin Tian turned around and said, "We'll just focus on doing our own thing. If he wants to start a civil war, we won't stand idly by. Once the red sun rises, it'll be time to leave."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded thoughtfully.

After the island nation surrendered, the war criminals were taken to Nanjing for trial.

Class A war criminals, including Hideki Tojo, were sentenced to death along with their entire families.

Many powerful families were wiped out, and the whole country was in mourning. This was the darkest era for ordinary people.

The Huaxia Independent Brigade was stationed in Japan for six months.

In the past six months, my life has been thoroughly investigated, and all the treasures and minerals underground have been gone.

With some of the current excavating machines and so much free labor available, six months is already a very fast time.

On the day of departure, many island nation residents stood by the roadside, tearfully bidding him farewell.

Looking at the Japanese, Zhao Dazhuang still felt uneasy. It seemed that he hadn't been whipping them hard enough while they were mining.

"Commander, do you think they'll come back to attack us again in the future?"

Ma Yongzhen was silent for a moment, then said, "It shouldn't be like that. They've been beaten and are afraid of being beaten, and they've learned their lesson."

He paused, then added, "However, we cannot let our guard down. If we fall behind, we will be attacked. This is an age-old truth."

The fleet sailed away from Tokyo Bay, the sea surface shimmering.

Lin Tian stood on the flagship's bridge, watching the coastline gradually disappear in the distance, feeling very calm.

The war is finally over, and peace is on its way.

Those who died can rest in peace now.

Those who are alive can go home now.

Brigade Commander Chen walked up to him and said, "Commander, let's go home."

"Yes, let's go home."

Lin Tian turned around and said, "Tell the fleet to proceed at full speed and head home."

The fleet cuts through the waves, heading towards China.

On the deck, the soldiers cheered with joy.

They've been away from home for too long and they miss home.

Zhao Dazhuang, clutching the machine gun, grinned broadly: "Going home! Finally, I can go home!"

Liu Liuliu stood beside him, her eyes reddening: "Brother Dazhuang, who else is in your family?"

Zhao Dazhuang was silent for a moment. "I don't know, maybe it's gone, but it doesn't matter. The army is my home, and my brothers are my family."

The fleet docked at Qingdao Port, and the soldiers lined up to disembark.

The dock was filled with a welcoming crowd—parents, wives, and children.

They waved small flags and chanted slogans to welcome the heroes home.

Zhao Dazhuang saw an elderly woman with white hair walking unsteadily toward him in the crowd, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"mother!"

He rushed over, hugged the old lady, and burst into tears.

"My son, you're back! I thought I'd never see you again."

The old lady pounded on his back, and she herself burst into tears.

This scene can be seen everywhere on the dock.

Liu Liuliu stood to the side, watching the reunited families, her eyes filled with envy.

He had no family left; his parents had been killed by the Japanese, and his sister had starved to death.

Dajun walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Come on, brother, from now on, we're your family."

Liu Liuliu nodded and followed the army.

Stephen Chow stood on the pier, looking at the distant horizon. He had won. Shouldn't it be time to go back?

The worms must be waiting for me too.

Only half a year had passed in the original world.

Villas on Victoria Peak.

Tangtang sat on the living room carpet with a pile of building blocks in front of her, but she had no interest in building anything and would occasionally look up at the door.

She lowered her head again, her little hands unconsciously fiddling with a triangular block.

JoJo sat on the sofa next to her, holding a book in her hand but not opening it. Looking at Tangtang's absent-minded look, she felt a pang of sadness.

For the past six months, Lin Tian seemed to have vanished into thin air, with no phone calls, no letters, and no news whatsoever.

"Tangtang, come here, let's play with building blocks together, okay?" JoJo put down her book and sat on the carpet.

Tangtang shook her head, her voice soft and aggrieved: "No, I want to wait for Guoguo. Guoguo said he would be back soon, but he's been gone for a very long time."

JoJo's eyes were a little red. She hugged Tangtang tightly and said, "I have something very important to do. I'll be back when I'm done. Tangtang, be good and don't cry."

Regarding Lin Tian's sudden disappearance, Liang Kun came to inform him that he had gone abroad and would return within a year.

He also visits Tangtang from time to time.

"I didn't cry."

Tangtang looked up, her little face indeed free of tears, but her big eyes were full of expectation, "Sister, did Guoguo go to find Mom and Dad?"

JoJo paused for a moment, "Why do you ask that?"

"Because my parents also went to a very far place and haven't come back for a very, very long time."

Tangtang lowered her head, her voice even softer, "What if Guoguo doesn't come back like Mom and Dad?"

JoJo finally couldn't hold back her tears and hugged Tangtang tightly. "No, no, Guoguo will definitely come back. He promised Tangtang, right? Guoguo never lies."

Zhang Shiyu also felt uneasy.

In the past six months, her relationship with Tangtang has progressed rapidly, and they are as close as sisters.

Tangtang likes her, and she also genuinely likes this sensible little girl.

"Tangtang, look what your sister brought you!"

She walked over, took out a paper bag from behind her back, and inside was a box of chocolates.

Tangtang's eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly dimmed again. "Thank you, Sister Shiyu."

Zhang Shiyu sat down next to Tangtang, opened the chocolate, and handed her one.

"Tangtang, your brother is Superman, right? Superman is very busy; he has to save the world. After he saves the world, he will come back to be with Tangtang."

Tangtang took the chocolate, put it in her mouth and chewed it. The sweetness melted on her tongue, and she seemed to feel a little better.

"Sister Shiyu, is Guoguo really a superhero?"

"Of course."

Zhang Shiyu laughed and said, "You forgot? Your brother fights bad guys and even brought you here. What else could he be but Superman?"

Tangtang thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. She nodded, and a smile finally appeared on her little face.

"When will that guy finally finish saving the world?"

"It'll be here soon."

Zhang Shiyu pinched her little cheek, "Maybe she'll be back tomorrow."

JoJo felt very grateful as she watched Zhang Shiyu comfort Tangtang.

For the past six months or so, it's all thanks to her being there for Tangtang; otherwise, the child would have been incredibly sad.

She wiped away her tears and forced a smile. "Shiyu is right, Guoguo will be back soon."

"Tangtang, come here, let's build a big castle with blocks and show it to Guoguo when he comes back."

"good!"

Tangtang finally cheered up.
