Chapter 19 - Part 1 of 1929, Chapter 19, Petty Bourgeois Sentiment

 The next day, King Kong observed the children, who seemed to have nothing but excitement. This reassured King Kong a little. The children have a great influence on each other. The three older ones, especially the three dragons, are the boldest and are the happiest today, bringing the two younger ones with joy as well.

 Vajra was also happy, especially after he had cleared the battle results.

 The seized weapon was a two-handed gun, one of which was a southern type with more than 130 bullets; The other was a Browning, but with only eighteen bullets; There were seven knives, four long and three short.

 King Kong found 40,000 yuan and 850 yuan. The children found over 170 yuan and handed them all over to King Kong. Many of them were copper coins. It was truly a case of "putting every penny into the warehouse", not sparing a single copper coin.

 As for opium, there were seventy-eight jin in total. King Kong, unaware of the drug policy at the time, put it away for the time being.

 But he soon found out that it was not illegal to trade opium at that time. It was said that one had to obtain a "special business license" to operate, but in fact only those who ran large opium dens had such a license. Most of the merchants traded in this semi-open way to evade taxes.

 And opium, like hard currency, is easy to convert into cash. The price in Shanghai is around 550 yuan per jin, and these opium are worth more than 42,000 yuan! It's worth more than the same weight of silver.

 King Kong gave each of the five dragons five dollars. Order each of the children to make a new set of clothes; The cost of food was raised to ten yuan per person per month, which is the level of meat per day.

 King Kong went to the Fu brothers to share the money. The two brothers said no money at all and that they would keep their promise and work for King Kong from now on. "Our two brothers' lives will belong to Mr. Xu from now on." King Kong thought they were just saying it, but they took it seriously.

 The money originally belongs to the people of Great China. Let's use it to serve the people of Great China! The first thing is to build the house in the children's yard. It's also a reward for the children.

 Ideological work still needs to be done. These nights King Kong tells the children about imperialist aggression and plundering against China since the Opium War; Especially the aggression and ambition of Japanese imperialism against China since the Year of Jiawu, to remember the responsibility of national rejuvenation and to learn well.

 King Kong also found the Fu brothers, as well as the big Dragon, the second dragon and the third dragon, to analyze the actions that night together. He criticized the children for not following orders, for example, when he told them to stay upstairs, they still followed down. But the children said they saw the gesture but didn't know what it meant and thought they were going to follow.

 That's true. They haven't learned these military gestures yet. We'll teach them later.

 King Kong also analyzed Fu Baotian's actions, especially commenting on how Fu Baotian rushed into the room without knowing how many enemies there were in the room and before King Kong was in place. He talked about how to act correctly and cover each other.

 He was trained in the military camp with special forces, and it wasn't in vain to be with Little Z and the others.

 The Fu brothers were impressed that Mr. Xu must have had a beard before, too? No, he must have had a beard, right?

 As for the Three Dragons, they used to listen less to King Kong among the children. But since then, he has admired King Kong so much that he has become the most obedient one, imitating him in everything and making great progress in cultural studies.

 King knew that selling was important to the business, so he went all out. One day, after introducing his products to an American firm, King Kong wanted to go to another firm.

 This is on Nanjing Road, where King Kong discovers that Nanjing Road in this time and space is paved with wood! About six cm by more than twenty cm by more than seventy cm blocks, inserted straight in line, the road looks like it's paved with six cm by more than twenty cm bricks, but it's actually made of wood! If it weren't for a section of the road being repaired, you wouldn't have noticed it.

 If it weren't for going to this time and space, King Kong would never have imagined that there would be a road paved with wood for cars!

 Suddenly, several young men in front pulled out a red flag from their clothes, and one of them climbed onto a mailbox by the roadside. The mailbox, which was cast iron at the time, was green and stood about a meter tall by the roadside. At the same time, about seventy or eighty young men appeared on the side and rushed towards the mailbox. The seventy or eighty men, who had been somewhere and what they were doing just now, seemed to have come out of the ground. So the young men shouted together: Long live the Workers' Party! Down with the new warlords! Down with imperialism! And there are people throwing leaflets over pedestrians' heads again.

 At that moment, the police whistle blew, and several police officers, blowing their whistles and brandishing their batons, ran towards here. The young men scattered and ran in all directions. The process took no more than a minute or two, and it reminded King Kong of a word, "flash!" But the term was called "Flying assembly" at the time.

 That was the Workers' Party! King Kong followed two of the girls and walked over. As soon as they turned the corner, they threw a paper flag on the ground and acted as if nothing had happened, standing in front of a shop window. It was written on the paper flag: Arm yourself and defend Rosu!

 Two policemen ran over and looked at the two girls in bewilderment, their faces a little unnatural. King Kong went up and said to the police, "Ila Er Ge Ren came out of Bai Xiang, the troublekeeper ran away long ago." Then the two policemen ran far away.

 The two girls turned away without saying a word of thanks to King Kong. King followed and asked, "Hey, which school are you from?" The two girls looked at him warily and said, "What's the matter?" Then he jumped into the rickshaw and left.

 Did they write the sign wrongly or did they misread it? Now Rosu is invading the Great China. How can we defend Rosu? If the people of China go to defend Rosu, who will defend China? If you can't even deal with a police officer with a baton, how can you "defend Rosu"?

 King Kong remembers that during the same period in another time, the party was also dominated by opportunists. Oh, I think it was Wang Ming? No, it could also be Li Lisan? Anyway, it's led by an opportunist, wrong opportunism!

 The Congress Party, too, did not support Northeast China. Instead, the anti-Chiang faction within the party fought with Chiang Zhongcai's forces. Except for the (" reorganization faction "?) in Guangxi The Northwest Army of Song Zheyuan in the Central Plains also rebelled against Chiang and engaged in fierce fighting with his troops.

 As for the battles in Northeast China, they were far beyond King Kong's imagination. In the following months, the Rosu army broke in! By October, both Manzhouli and Heihe had been captured. The battle was getting bigger and bigger, and the Luo Su army was coming to invade the Great China!

 Although the Northeast Army fought bravely, the Soviet aircraft and tanks were formidable, and the disparity in strength led to heavy casualties, causing them to retreat step by step.

 In a battle on a certain position, the Northeast army lost more than 900 men, while the Soviet army lost more than 200 men, about four to one. The Northeast Army was valiant, with some regiments almost completely wiped out and not retreating! Of course there were regiments and brigades killed, but there were also Rosu's gunship commander and other officers killed.

 A group of Luo Su troops captured Tongjiang City along the river, looted food and goods, and set the city on fire before retreating! The Rosu army massacred the residents in the Imu River Kalen. Later, the Russian forces captured Manzhouli and Mishan in Jilin. Wasn't that the same as all other foreign invaders did?

 Seeing what was written in the newspapers about the battles that King Kong had never known about, his eyes were about to drop. King Kong is an engineering student, but he has also taken history classes. From the extent of his knowledge, it can be determined that these things do not exist in another time and space.

 King Kong is busy now, but still finds time to visit Shanghai, a place he is familiar with in the other time and space. He still wanted to make sure if this was the time and space from which he had set out.

 King Kong had returned to Meilong Town, where his Alma mater, Huazhong University of Technology, was located, to have a look. The absence of the university's shadow was expected, but the town was so small and cool that he didn't expect it.

 The town was like a typical Jiangnan town at that time, with a street along the river and a few small boats rowed by hand in the river. There were only a few rice shops, grocery stores, etc. on the street, and that was the most prosperous part of the town.

 The people in the town all knew each other, and someone came over enthusiastically and asked who King Kong was looking for? It was strange that King Kong just walked around and had some fun. What fun is there in such a small town?

 Another place that King Kong is more familiar with in another time and space is Hengshan Road, which his classmates at King Kong University unanimously consider "the most Shanghai-like".

 A local classmate of Shanghai boasted that this was what old Shanghai looked like, a model of petty bourgeois life, and the best place to preserve old Shanghai. Stroll along Hengshan Road, have a cup of coffee, and the taste of petty bourgeois life is everywhere!

 So, King Kong made a special trip to Hengshan Road. Judging from the relative position and the appearance of the street, a street called Petain Road should be Hengshan Road. But there's not a cafe here, not a shop! This is a villa residential area, and this area is all.

 King Kong also walked through the nearby streets, and there was not a trace of 21st-century Hengshan Road. He spent about two hours here and came across two or three people hurrying by.

 On the street covered with the yellow leaves of the plane trees, only King was walking in the autumn wind, which made people feel desolate and mournful.

 Is this the taste of old Shanghai? Is this the air of petty bourgeois life? When did Hengshan Road in another time and space start to be filled with cafes?

 There are cafes in Shanghai now, but mainly on Champs-Elysees Road (where Huaihai Road is later located). They are small shops, interspersed with other types of shops and companies, for company employees to relax or business people to do business. Mostly run by Belarusians, and most of the hospitality is also Belarusian.

 By now King Kong was convinced that the time and space he had come to was completely unrelated to the twenty-first century from which he had set out!

 Ironically, in the letter that Xiao Z wrote to Zhang Xueliang, he also said that according to his master's calculation, the Japanese would attack Northeast China on September 18th of the following year! First, attack Beidaying in Shenyang! And King Kong didn't delete the sentence when he knew that the two times were different!

 Most of the Great Chinese people on the streets of Shanghai now have bad looks, and there are often poor people starving to death on the streets. The "old Shanghai" of this time and space is not the time to talk about petty bourgeois sentiment.

 Based on the circumstances of this time and space, King Kong set a great ideal.

 It's not some angry youth who think about killing the Japanese army and sweeping up the Japanese island. That would not be King Kong. In this time and space, it is unknown whether the Japanese will invade the Great China, but we still need to be on guard. If they dare to invade us, we will do our best to kill them. King Kong didn't go there with a few thousand men, with planes and tanks. Given his current conditions, he wouldn't dare to set such high ideals.

 So King Kong's ideal is to make all Chinese people have enough to eat!

 Some onlookers are laughing! That's called an ideal! ? And it's great! ?

 Are you not in the time and space where King Kong is now? Do you know how many people starve to death every day in Great China now? If you go to this time and space and ask, would most people say this is a great ideal?

 As for the ideal of "two bowls of meat for every meal, I eat one bowl and pour one bowl", the majority of the people of this great China would not dare to imagine it. The environment is different, so is the realm!
