This New Year's Eve dinner didn't take long, from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock.
When the time came, everyone put down their dishes and chopsticks.
Not everyone can celebrate New Year's Eve, there are still people who are working.
Visiting and expressing condolences on New Year's Eve is also an inevitable task of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau.
This will last until the third day of the Lunar New Year.
This is also the rule set by Meng Shaoyuan after he took office.
"Where are we going?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.
"According to your regulations, we chose Fulong Warehouse." Qi Xuezhen was a little worried: "District Chief, there was a fight with No. 76 just the day before yesterday, and two brothers were killed. No. 76 has already set his sights there. Is it possible? Would it be too dangerous?”
"Danger?" Meng Shaoyuan put on a black woolen coat: "Brothers are fighting there, and we are hiding here to enjoy the blessings? The people in No. 76 are also human beings. They are celebrating the New Year. Even if they are staring at that contact point, they are absent-minded. Besides, that is This is the direct firefighting point we have designated, and it is fully equipped, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"gun."
Li Zhifeng handed Browning to Meng Shaoyuan.
The guard captain really didn't understand that the officer, with his poor marksmanship, always liked to take it with him every time he went out. Why bother?
Isn't this just for show?
"I'll go to contact points No. 8, No. 12, and No. 33."
Wu Jingyi is also ready.
"Sure, pay attention to safety." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at Sophia: "Don't go to Rose Mansion, stay here tonight."
Sophia shrugged.
…
Shanghai on New Year's Eve is as lively as it gets.
The deafening sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere.
The Paramount Ballroom held a "New Year's Carnival Night" today, and all the top dancers attended to support it. The event lasted until three o'clock in the morning.
Those rich masters and lustful young masters all acted upon the news.
"Crackling."
A thousand firecrackers were set off at the entrance of the Paramount Ballroom to officially announce the start of the carnival night.
I heard that after midnight, 10,000 firecrackers will be set off.
"Bang bang bang bang"!
In the alley next to it, the sound of gunfire was completely covered up by the sound of firecrackers.
New Year's Eve is New Year's Eve, but it is someone else's New Year's Eve.
Luo Shun emptied a magazine, rushed forward with his team members, and fired several shots at the two corpses.
"All dead."
"Where are our people?"
"One died and one was injured."
"who?"
"Xiao Gan is dead."
Luo Shun was silent for a moment: "His mother has her birthday today and is still waiting for him to go back. Xiao Wei, go to Xiao Gan's house and say that there is an emergency in the company and you want to send him to Hong Kong. It's very important. For a long time.”
"Hey, how long can I hide this?"
"How long can I hide it?" Luo Shun sighed: "His mother has been widowed a long time ago, and he has only one son. His mother is illiterate. From now on, I will write to her every half month in the name of Xiao Gan. That's it. Come on."
Poor old lady, she still doesn’t know that her son is not a company employee.
Her son is a spy of the Military Command Bureau!
…
When he returned to Fulong Warehouse, Luo Shun was a little depressed.
Although this mission was successfully completed, Xiao Gan was gone again. Since I was promoted to squadron leader, I have seen my brothers die one after another with my own eyes.
Two strangers stood at the door.
Luo Shun immediately became alert.
"Captain Luo, don't be nervous." Vice Captain He Tian hurriedly ran out and whispered: "The boss is here."
"What, the boss is here?"
Luo Shun was startled, quickly arranged his clothes, and hurried in.
As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar figure, drinking and chatting with a few brothers who had stayed behind.
"Hello, sir!" Luo Shun stood at attention with a snap.
Meng Shaoyuan!
Meng Shaoyuan, Director of the Shanghai District of the Military Unification Bureau!
"Roshun!"
Meng Shaoyuan glanced at him: "You are in the fourth phase of the Shanghai secret agent training crash course, right?"
"Sir has a very good memory. On the first day of school, he even gave us a lecture."
"Come, sit down and drink."
Meng Shaoyuan greeted him affectionately: "Just came back from a mission?"
"Yes, there are two targets we have been eyeing for more than a month. They are going to Paramount today, so I decided to take action tonight."
"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan didn't ask whether the mission was completed or not: "Where are the casualties?"
"One is injured and has been sent for treatment." Luo Shun hesitated: "One is dead. His name is Gan Haizhong. He was twenty-one years old."
"What, only twenty-one years old?"
Luo Shun smiled bitterly: "Yes, he is only 21 years old, and he came here before graduating from college. He studied architecture in college, and he is the only child in the family."
Meng Shaoyuan was silent. He poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Luo Shun.
If there hadn't been this damn war, this man named Gan Haizhong would have been an architect. In his hands, beautiful buildings will rise from the ground.
But war ruined everything!
"The pension is doubled." Meng Shaoyuan said after a while: "I originally came to see the brothers, but when I came here, I heard this news. Am I considered a plague god?"
Luo Shun quickly said: "Sir, you are serious. As an armed action team, we have long been prepared to serve the party and the country!"
"What about you, how old are you?"
"Twenty-three."
Only twenty-three!
At this age, it should be the age of youth.
It was originally the age of love between you and me under the vines.
But he has already become a squadron leader and fought bloody battles with Japanese traitors!
"Brothers, I respect you!"
Meng Shaoyuan, who had drank a lot in the evening, raised his wine bowl: "Thank you!"
Thanks!
Luo Shun and everyone else stood up together, holding up the wine bowl: "Swear to fight to the death and never rebel! Sacrifice yourself and serve the party and the country!"
"drink!"
Meng Shaoyuan drank it all in one gulp.
Luo Shun sat down again: "Sir, when will you leave?"
"What, you're driving me away just after I came?"
"Don't dare, sir, it's too dangerous here."
"Danger?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I dare to go to the heart of the Japanese alone, so what does it matter here? On New Year's Eve, you have to watch the New Year's Eve. I will accompany you until the New Year's Eve. Look, I even brought firecrackers."
Luo Shun felt moved in his heart for a moment.
The chief is a legend. Apart from seeing him once on the first day of the accelerated course, he has never seen him again.
But who would have thought that during the Chinese New Year, the chief would come to see him and his brothers, and even stay with them to watch the New Year?
Where can I find such a commander?
But he was still worried: "Sir, just listen to my advice."
"do not talk."
Li Zhifeng interrupted him: "There is no way to change what the commander decides. Don't worry, I have brought the entire guard group here. Nothing will happen."
Meng Shaoyuan refilled the wine for everyone with his own hands: "Come, let's have fun together and tell us where we are from and when we joined the organization."
"I am from the Northeast, nineteen years old. I lived in exile in Shanghai with my parents. I only joined the organization last year."
Since someone spoke first, the atmosphere immediately became lively.
