He took out a small loudspeaker from the tank and began to shout.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. We're not Japanese! My fellow villagers…"
" Villagers, we are the national army. We are here to fight the devils. Don't be afraid…"
Qian Daniu shouted repeatedly. After a while, some brave people slowly opened the door and looked outside.
In a room, two people were looking out through the crack in the door and whispering.
"Big brother, did you see it clearly?"
"I know. It shouldn't be the Japanese!”
"Then where did they come from? Why are there so many iron bastards?"
"I'm not sure. There are at least ten or twenty Iron Bastards, right? Where did he come from? He actually had such powerful strength?”
The two of them looked at the row of tanks and trucks parked outside the village entrance with envy in their eyes.
Qian Daniu shouted tirelessly as the tank slowly drove on the small road in the village.
Just as he passed by a house, he saw a face peeking through the crack of the door.
He quickly shouted to the other party," Hey, fellow villager, don't be afraid. We're fighting the Japanese. We're all on the same side!”
"Boss, where are you from?" the other party asked boldly.”
Qian Daniu did not hide anything and said openly,""We built a stronghold on the mountain, but now we're going down the mountain to fight the devils. Don't be afraid, everyone. We're not here to cause trouble today.”
The other party was a little scared when he said that they were on the mountain. After all, there were not many good people among the bandits these days.
However, after Qian Daniu's repeated assurance, the other party opened the door with some doubt.
Qian Daniu got out of the turret and jumped down.
"Fellow townsman, we are going down the mountain to fight the Japanese. Do you see that? There is a sea of iron bastards, and there are such big cannons. There are even better ones. With our strength, we will definitely not be careless when fighting the Japanese!”
The other party nodded repeatedly.
In fact, these country bumpkins did not know the caliber and power of cannons. They only knew that cannons were definitely powerful. Of course, the bigger the better!
"How about this, fellow villager, see if you can help us gather the villagers. Our marshal has something to say to the villagers.”
Under Qian Daniu's repeated requests, the other party finally agreed to help gather all the villagers.
However, after nearly half an hour, Xia Zilong was getting impatient. Finally, these people came.
Xia Zilong jumped onto the tank and began his impassioned speech.
"Mm-hm, hello, fellow villagers. My name is Xia Zilong, and I used to build a cabinet on the mountain. However, the country is in danger now, and the people are in dire straits. The Japanese are cruel and inhumane. We really can't stand it anymore!
For this reason, I decided to go bankrupt and buy a large amount of weapons and equipment. Look, everyone. There are tanks and cannons.
However, the items are there, but the people who use them are not. This makes me very anxious!”
Xia Zilong tried his best to look as if he was worried about the country and the people. However, perhaps his acting skills were too bad, so no one applauded.
It was a little awkward!
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue,"I'm not going to beat around the bush today. I just want to recruit some soldiers! Everyone could see it, so they definitely wouldn't let everyone die as cannon fodder.
Anyone who joins our War of Resistance and National Salvation Army will receive 20 yuan and 100 catties of flour as a family allowance. There will also be 5 yuan of military pay every month.
There were no eyes on the battlefield, and injuries were inevitable. If there are any sacrifices, we will compensate them with 300 yuan. The families under our jurisdiction will also be exempted from taxes for ten years.
Those who were injured would also receive a pension of 200 yuan. In addition, they would be given appropriate work arrangements. They would definitely not let anyone suffer.”
It was still quiet below. Everyone was staring at him.
Xia Zilong was helpless. This condition was already not bad, right? Why didn't anyone move?
"Why? Does no one want to fight the Japanese? Or do you all want to be slaves of a subjugated country and become slaves for the Japanese?”
There was finally some movement from the people below. Some of them had already shown their anger.
"If you guys don't say anything, then I'll take it that you're thinking about it! Since that's the case, you'd better be my slaves, or I'll kill all of you!”
"Sir, aren't you going a little overboard with your words?”
Xia Zilong saw that the person who spoke was a man in his twenties or thirties.
"Let's not talk about whether you passed or not. Since you dare to come out and speak, what's your name?”
The other party did not show any fear and said in a clear voice,"Your surname is Zhang, Zhang Yuanming."
"Good, you have guts. You're a man!”Xia Zilong praised him, but then he started cursing.
"You said that my words were too much, but I think it was very appropriate.
Right now, the Japanese are wreaking havoc in various places, but none of us have any thoughts of resisting. Instead, we are like turtles hiding in their shells, pretending not to see anything.
What did we see when we arrived just now? I only saw you guys hiding in a mess, but I didn't see anyone trying to resist.
If your village is like this, then if a town, a county, a province, or even the entire country is like this, then congratulations, you can really be slaves!”
Zhang Yuan Ming said," Sir, we're just ordinary people. We're unarmed. We're really powerless!"”
Xia Zilong snorted coldly and said,"You want to, but you can't?" What about now? I didn't put so many things here to let everyone see something new, but to recruit people to use them and use them to kill the Japanese!”
He looked at everyone present and said angrily,"But what about you? None of you have the heart to kill the enemy and serve the country. All of you want to live under the rule of the devils!
In order to resist the Japanese invasion, they did not hesitate to go bankrupt and even sacrificed themselves bravely. They were the real heroes!
As for you, humph, you're just fools who want to be slaves but can't get it!”
Zhang Yuan Ming was furious, but he couldn't refute.
In his excitement, he blurted out,"Good scolding, sir! But we're not afraid of death. It's just that so many troops have been defeated by the Japanese. Can you defeat them?”
Xia Zilong said,"What's there to be afraid of? Do you see my tank? This is our worst!
This cannon was of a normal caliber, but the muzzle was larger and more powerful. No one could survive within a radius of dozens of meters.
We're building an air force now, so we can have our own planes and not have to worry about them harassing us from above.”
"Is what the officer said true?"
"It's true. Do I need to lie to you? If it was just to trick you into sending yourselves to your deaths, what benefits would I get?”
Zhang Yuan Ming gritted his teeth and said in a clear voice,"Alright, since that's the case, I'll follow the chief!"”
Xia Zilong said,"You have to think carefully. Otherwise, if you become a deserter, you will be shot!"”
"Don't even think about it. If the commander really has such equipment for us, even if we die on the battlefield, we can only blame ourselves for being unlucky!”
Xia Zilong nodded and pointed to the table on the right.""Alright, go sign your name and receive the settlement allowance!”
