However, before Jie and the rest could think of anything else, they heard something unbelievable from the walkie-talkie. There was a report from the Zhoushan Archipelago. The patrol boats that had gone out to scout had already taken down Zhoushan. They needed reinforcements as soon as possible! The command center ordered 50 militia to rush to the dock to receive weapons and equipment. They would assist the border defense to reinforce the Zhoushan Archipelago.
When Jie and the others first received the news, they really wondered if it was because they had transmigrated that April Fool's Day was changed. Li Hailong and the others, who were in the middle of a meeting, also suspected that someone was joking with them! However, after listening to Commander Wang's helpless voice on the phone, he finally knew that the news was not wrong, so he quickly informed Jie and the others. At the same time, the meeting naturally changed the agenda with this sudden news. How could they provide support?
Li Hailong could not wait for the conclusion of the meeting. He needed to understand the situation immediately, so he discussed it with Uncle Qian and rushed to the headquarters. But this way, Uncle Qian's task would be even heavier!
When Li Hailong rushed to the GCH, he saw that there were no missing people, but there was not much joy on everyone's faces. Li Hailong thought about it and agreed. It had only been less than a day since he transmigrated. Most people had yet to change their minds. They had yet to figure out the situation on their own island, but the outside world had already blown up! It seemed that he could only smile bitterly when it was his turn.
After greeting the few people present, he quickly read the telegram. Perhaps the other party realized that he was a little too hasty, so there were only a few words on the telegram: Our patrol boats arrived at the periphery of Zhoushan at 18:20 in the afternoon. After reconnaissance, there were no Qing troops on the island, only British troops. By 10:10 in the evening, after a sneak attack, we had captured 218 British soldiers. None of them escaped. Our army had no casualties. Currently controlling the Urban area, the island is currently in chaos, requesting reinforcements. Gong Xueming, July 8th, 2009, 10:22 PM.
It seemed that the people who came earlier had already seen the telegram. Everyone sat there speechlessly and no one said a word. Well, at this time, who could say whether this was good or bad? Therefore, it was better not to express his opinion.
Commander Wang was also very helpless now. Everyone was used to being independent. He was the commander-in-chief in name, but who had called him? Now that they had fought outside, they had to wait for the island to deal with the matter.
There were only so many people on the ship, yet he actually ate an entire archipelago in one bite. Wasn't he afraid of bursting his stomach? Director Jiang wasn't having a good time there either. No matter what, he was still his subordinate. Now that he had caused such a thing, what should he say? Of course, the others couldn't say anything.
No matter what, support was still necessary. Therefore, even though Commander Wang was unhappy in the end, he still had to give the order. Now that Li Hailong had finished reading the telegram and asked him about the preparations of the militia he had sent out, Li Hailong thought that it was not a good idea. There were only a few people on the island now. If something happened, he would definitely not be able to escape. However, it was not a good idea to send people without a plan. Therefore, although he reported it, he still had to say it.
"Chief Commander Wang, the militia has already sent out four squads. Including the two leaders, there are a total of 50 people. They have now arrived at the dock and are starting to receive weapons and equipment! Wait for the order to board the ship and set off."
"Commander Wang, but…"
Before Li Hailong could continue, Wang Wenbao had already cut him off.
"Xiao Li, I know what you want to say, but time is of the essence now, so let's put everything else aside first. Chief Jiang, I'll entrust you with the management of this island first. I think Xiao Li and I will go together. After all, this is the first time the militia has participated in such an operation.
In addition, Xiao Li, I need you to inform the village to send two fishing boats to Zhoushan tomorrow morning to bring some supplies in case of any accidents! Station Chief Zhang, make your preparations. Tomorrow morning, prepare the weapons and equipment for the militia for the fishermen and distribute them to each person according to the roster!
The other units should first select their own militia members. Weapons must be given to absolutely reliable people. Now is the most critical stage. I hope everyone will be mentally prepared for this. This world is not peaceful!
From today's incident, we can see that things don't always happen when we're prepared! We can only be prepared for more unexpected events in the future! Everyone, prepare according to what I said just now! At the same time, they also checked each other frequently. It was never wrong to be careful!”
When everyone heard this, they all split up and rushed back to their own units to prepare for the night.
Li Hailong informed Uncle Qian of the situation over the phone. He also relayed Commander Wang's words to him, asking him to do a good job with the fishermen on the island.
Then, he followed Commander Wang to the militia armory. He thought about the current situation in society and finally chose a Type 56-1 submachine gun and a Type 54 pistol. He brought some bullets and went to the militia team waiting to board the ship. When everyone saw Li Hailong coming and wanted to set off with them, they were very happy.
Li Hailong was also very happy with the militia who used to be fishermen. Although they usually had little time for training, everyone was still very motivated. Therefore, he encouraged everyone and asked them to listen to orders.
Then, he talked about this matter with his three comrades who had obtained the departure list and told them what he had learned.
He also brought them to see if the militia had forgotten anything. He did not want to forget anything important in a moment of joy. This time, something unexpected might happen! Therefore, all preparations had to be done carefully and meticulously. Everything had to be done according to actual combat. After Li Hailong's lecture, the team leaders and class monitors quickly went to check.
Under the lights, Captain Wang and Zhao Liang came over with the members of the inspection team. Li Hailong quickly went up with three comrades. He also found two Qing Dynasty people with pigtails in the team. Li Hailong couldn't help but admire Commander Wang's ability to consider everything carefully!
Captain Wang found that none of the militiamen were wearing raincoats, so he turned around and asked Li Hailong what was going on. Li Hailong was puzzled. Why were they wearing raincoats? Captain Wang said earnestly,"
"We don't know how long we'll be staying there this time, so we need to make the necessary preparations. Although I'm a bit rash and unhappy about Deputy Director Gong's actions, I won't let go of it so quickly. After all, our island is too small, and we'll definitely have to take this step in the future development. Although it's a bit rushed now and we're flustered, we're still forced to take this step, so we shouldn't offend him too much.”
"Yes, sir! I know!"
He turned around and quickly asked everyone to prepare a raincoat. He had originally planned to get everyone a bulletproof vest, but unfortunately, there weren't that many in the warehouse. In the end, he only found 38 heavy ones and brought them all onto the boat.
When a large box of cigarettes was brought onto the boat, Zhao Liang laughed and scolded him for being a heavy drinker! This made Li Hailong suddenly think that the Opium War was not for the sake of the word 'smoke'. If the people on the mainland could smoke cigarettes, this business might really be possible!
Uncle Qian also asked him not to forget to bring a box of disposable lighters on the boat tomorrow, making Uncle Qian laugh at him for not forgetting to do business when he went to war! This made Li Hailong a little depressed. Did he really go out to do business and not go to war?!
When everyone was almost ready, Captain Wang gave the order. Everyone boarded the ship and arranged their positions. After checking and confirming that it was safe, the anti-smuggling boat took the people on board and crossed the long night towards Zhoushan.
The anti-smuggling boat traveled for more than half an hour under the careful guidance of Captain Wang. They found that the sea condition was the same as before. They were relieved. It seemed that the change was only near the island, but the sea was still the same as before. Such a speculation was completely consistent with the radar scan. Captain Wang was also relieved and asked the navigator to be responsible for the navigation of the boat. He came to Li Hailong to chat with Li Hailong in excitement!
People's moods were indeed very strange. Although they knew that the original place had changed, and they knew that they could no longer find everything they were familiar with, they still wanted to return to the familiar place. They would still be excited when they stood there. Zhoushan was Captain Wang's hometown! No matter what that place looked like, the concept of home would never change!
Now, Captain Wang was in such a mood. He hoped that someone could talk to him. The first person he thought of was Li Hailong. He felt that this young man was smart and flexible.
However, when he found Li Hailong, he was surprised to find that his political commissar was already chatting happily with the young man he liked! Seeing Captain Wang looking for Li Hailong, Zhao Liang knew that they must have something else to talk about, so he immediately changed the venue and found a place to sleep.
After Zhao Liang left, Captain Wang asked him if he knew Zhao Liang. Li Hailong smiled and told him that Captain Wang only knew about this when Zhao Liang came to his house to eat wild boar meat in the evening.
Li Hailong knew that Captain Wang didn't come to find him because he was excited about returning to his hometown.
However, since Captain Wang didn't want to talk about it further, he didn't ask about it. Therefore, he asked about the ways of the world in Zhoushan and told Uncle Qian about the hunting ground that he had built on the barren mountain and raised wild boars and rabbits. As he explained, he started to worry about the island. Now that he was out of the island, he couldn't do anything about the island. Therefore, he could only ask Uncle Qian to spend more energy on it.
