Under such circumstances, she naturally had to find a wife for Xiao Shenglin. Xiao Shengnan had high standards. It was impossible for a woman of dubious character to enter the Xiao family.
Xiao Shenglin didn't know that his sister had already sent off several waves of " ex-girlfriends " for him. They were all his masterpieces. Some even said that they were pregnant, but they were all sent away by Xiao Shengnan with a sum of money.
She wanted her younger brother to marry the Hua sisters. The Hua family was a scholarly family in Shandong during the Qing Dynasty. After the Republic of China, they began to do business and had a well-off family background.
Other than these, there were also political plans. The Hua family was still very influential in Shandong. They did a lot of business, and some of their family members were in politics and the army.
"You don't want to?" Xiao Shengnan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Uh, how do you say this? Let sister arrange it. I'll listen to you.”
"That's more like it. Come here and give me a kiss.”
The streets were very lively. Countless children followed behind them, chanting the nursery rhymes that Xiao Shenglin had made up. They ran all over the streets.
Xiao Shengnan drove his brother away and called Huafu to invite the two young ladies of his family to the Xiao Mansion.
At this time, Xiao Shenglin had already gone to the Munitions Factory to inspect. Yun Kaiyi was the captain of the guards and was very responsible. Even during the new year, he would patrol every day, afraid that someone would sneak in and cause trouble.
They had already caught several batches of spies and had been monitoring the families and backgrounds of the workers.
The arsenal could only produce light weapons at the moment. It was not enough to produce less than a thousand rifles, cannons, and so on every week. The main reason was that the steel produced by the steel mill was not of high quality, and there were not enough advanced technicians.
After all, Xiao Shengnan had started from scratch. He didn't have any background. Fortunately, the situation in Shandong was good. Some talents from the province had returned. Otherwise, the situation would be even worse.
It seemed that he had to recruit talents. Xiao Shenglin decided to set off early.
"Old Yun, the Munitions Factory is of great importance, so I asked you to come and take a look.”
"I understand. Second Young Master's kindness is as heavy as a mountain. I will protect this place with my life.”Old Yun was a practical person. Although his brain was not very active, he was honest and kind.
"That's good. I'll go back to the city first." Xiao Shenglin got into the Ford. The guards grabbed the door. The driver stepped on the accelerator and the car drove out of the factory.
As soon as the car left, Xiao Shenglin's whereabouts were leaked by a lookout. In a quiet place, hundreds of black-clothed men were holding short guns, all of which were Mauser box cannons.
Each of them was dressed in black with a black cloth covering their faces. They also had some grenades on them.
They had been waiting for Xiao Shenglin for a long time. After confirming Xiao Shenglin's identity, they officially began the assassination.
These assassins were all Japanese. The reason why the Japanese wanted to kill Xiao Shenglin was because they felt threatened. The sudden construction of the factory in Shandong and the navy were all related to one person, Xiao Shenglin. That was why the Japanese wanted to kill him.
The leader was a very beautiful woman. She was Concubine Yu, who had tried to assassinate Xiao Shenglin in the Full Moon Pavilion last time. She was also the only person present who did not wear black clothes and black cloth. It seemed that she did not intend to participate in this battle.
"This person hates our Great Japan Empire. Everyone, for the future of the empire, please kill him.”Fu Jian bowed to the others present.
" Long live the Great Japanese Empire." The other Assassins shouted crazily.
Then, the group began to climb up to the predetermined ambush point, waiting for Xiao Shenglin's arrival.
In the car, Xiao Shenglin noticed that his right eyelid kept twitching. This didn't seem to be a good sign.
As the saying goes, if one's left eye jumps to wealth and his right eye jumps to disaster, would something happen?
His premonition, coupled with his special forces intuition, made him feel that the journey might not be peaceful.
"Wait, let's take another path.”Xiao Shenglin said to the driver.
"Major, if we take a detour, it'll take an extra hour.”The driver slowed down and said.
"It doesn't matter. My eyelids are twitching, so it's better to be careful.”
"Alright." The chauffeur replied and turned into another road at the fork in front.
It was obviously not the first time the Japanese had done something like this. When they saw the change in plans, they immediately mobilized another group of people. However, there was no such good ambush location over there.
This time, they drove here very quickly.
"Major, there are several cars chasing after us.”
"Get out of the car and prepare for battle." Xiao Shenglin grabbed the commanding knife, opened the holster, and took out his gun.
There was only one platoon of guards, but they were facing nearly a company of enemies. Fortunately, they were all armed with automatic weapons. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome.
"Protect the young commander and quickly send out the signal flare.”The captain of the guards shouted and fired at the cars that were rushing over.
The enemy's driver was killed. The car swerved and crashed into a tree. The spies were trained. Although they fainted for a moment, they immediately jumped out of the car and fought with the guards with their pistols.
These were all pretense. The real killer move was a secret agent with a big cover.
After the end of World War I, many countries ignored the role of snipers, but some countries did not give up on studying sniper tactics and weapons.
Japan happened to be one of them, but their industry was not very good. They could not make a sniper scope that could be used with rifles for the time being.
Without a sniper scope, he could only aim at the enemy. The battle was chaotic, and Xiao Shenglin did not show up.
Because his military uniform was too gorgeous, with that unique tassel epaulet, everyone knew that he was a big shot.
A signal flare flew up high. It was too conspicuous in broad daylight, and the garrison outside the city immediately saw it.
He called the marshal's manor and immediately knew who had been in trouble. He immediately dispatched cavalry to the location of the accident.
"They've sent the signal. There's not much time left, Natsuye-kun.”
"Let's wait a little longer. The other party is very cautious. From what we know, he's an expert. His marksmanship is very good, and his skills are outstanding.”the special agent said to his observer.
"I see him. He's at the front of the car.”
Xiao Shenglin poked his head out and killed two men in black. He was guessing who would come to kill him. It was either the Blue Clothes Society or the Black Dragon Gang.
He had been in the limelight recently, so it was normal for Chang Kaishen to kill him. After all, he had taken Chang Kaishen's fleet away.
Not to mention the Japanese. After several dealings, the people sent were all defeated. Everyone agreed that Xiao Shenglin was an extreme anti-Japanese and must be eliminated.
It seemed that he had to set up a special agent organization. Otherwise, how could he fight against the future military, central, special higher police, FBI, KGB, MI6, and other special agent organizations?
"I saw it." The guy aimed at Xiao Shenglin and pulled the trigger.
Just as he was aiming at Xiao Shenglin, Xiao Shenglin seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly lowered his head. In 0.2 seconds, the bullet took away a strand of Xiao Shenglin's hair, making his hair numb.
Damn it. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, he would have been killed.
