In the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), on April 1, the 24-story, 83.8-meter International Hotel, the tallest building in the Far East, was built five years ago on Pike Road, Jing'an Temple Road, the public concession in Shanghai, China, the largest city on the East Asian continent. (also known as the Parker Hotel and the Four Lines Savings Association Building), next to the water tower on the roof, a young man in a suit, about 25 or 26 years old, was smoking a cigarette. There were already three or four cigarette butts on the ground under his feet...
Li Junhao is very depressed now. He was born under the red flag and grew up in a harmonious society. He was just watching shooting stars with his friends, and was taken away by a wave of meteors. When he woke up again, he was already in the Republic of China!
I don’t know if there is a problem with time travel, but he, a Chinese man, turned into a white boy!
He spent a long time looking in the mirror in the bathroom. He had brown hair, blue eyes, and a very three-dimensional face. He was obviously Caucasian, but with his eyes, he couldn't tell which country or ethnicity he belonged to.
This made him very depressed. Just travel through time. Why did your race and bloodline change?
When he regained consciousness, he was in the penthouse suite of this international hotel. Although the environment was very nice and the furnishings were luxurious, it was still too classic for him.
He learned from the newspaper in the room that it was actually 1939 during the Anti-Japanese War, which made him even more frightened.
In the past, he had discussed with netizens on the forum what would happen if he participated in the Anti-Japanese War, but now that he is here, he has no idea what he can do?
There was another serious matter. He rummaged through the few personal belongings in the room and determined that he... had no money. This made him doubt his identity at this time. How did he end up staying in this hotel?
In my previous life, I was just a 9-to-5 worker. My biggest achievement was becoming an in-house marketing lecturer for a large company at a young age. I had no other bright spots in my twenty-six years of life. How could I be so famous? Selected?
Now he is penniless, but he lives in the most upscale hotel in the Shanghai Concession, an isolated island during the Anti-Japanese War. But except for a few clothes in the wardrobe, he has nothing. I am afraid that someone will come to ask for it in the next moment. Pay it forward!
So he ran to the roof and smoked a cigarette. Even the cigarette and matches were in the guest room...
It was approaching noon, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter. He took off his suit angrily, threw it to the ground, raised his hand and pointed at the dazzling sun and cursed angrily: "Damn! You're even here to bully me!"
At this moment, "Ding!" there was an unusual sound in his mind, "The host's anger has reached full value and meets the conditions for initiating the prerequisite tasks. The prerequisite tasks are specially released, please check it yourself!"
Um? Is this... the golden finger has arrived? Li Junhao was overjoyed and immediately concentrated on entering the sea of consciousness - this was a technique he learned when he learned meditation to treat insomnia in his previous life.
After some effort, he succeeded in looking inside, and he "saw" a light blue translucent screen in the sea of consciousness - he swore that this was definitely not a fantasy, because he saw the same words on it as in the sound just now!
Moreover, there is a line of dark blue writing on it: "The system starts the prerequisite task - within 48 hours, kill two Japanese invaders or three traitors within Shanghai and Hainan. After completion, the system will be officially launched." There is also a 48-hour electronic countdown.
Kill two Japanese or three traitors in 48 hours?
Li Junhao is very square. Look at his thin body. Although he is 1.8 meters tall, he is only a little over 70 kilograms. He has no weapons and does not know how to fight or fight. What can he use to kill the enemy? Use this silk tie around your neck to strangle it?
However, no matter how much I call or complain, the blue screen in my mind does not change at all!
What kind of system is this? It doesn’t even have a novice guide!
Throwing the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, he risked his life - who hasn't been crazy once or twice in this life?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, after taking this job, since they have come to this world, even if they fail to complete the task, they will die on the front line of killing the enemy. It is better not to be thrown into prison for cheating food and housing!
Then, he picked up the suit on the floor, strode back to the suite, and began to look for a weapon that could be used - a table knife? Not sharp enough. Coat hanger? It’s a bit big, so I probably won’t be able to carry it out in a hotel... Well, I’ll have to do it this way!
The paper knife on the table in the living room caught his eye. It was made of bronze and sheathed. The handle was five or six centimeters. When he took it out, he saw that the slender blade was only about five or six centimeters. It seemed a bit short, but it was thin. The blade looks sharp enough.
He imagined the movies and TV shows he had watched in his previous life. If this kind of knife was used as a weapon, unless it hit the heart accurately, there would be a high probability that it would break if used to stab someone;
The only reliable way is to use its sharpness to cut off the enemy's carotid artery, but this is undoubtedly difficult for him who has not received any training! However, he has no better choice now.
Before the action started, Li Junhao decided to fill his stomach first. He went to the restaurant on the third floor for fear of leaking the filling, so he ordered two steaks and one wonton noodles on the phone in the room, and had a full meal.
More than forty minutes later, at around one o'clock in the afternoon, he took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the International Hotel...
After walking a few steps, a rickshaw came to pick up customers. Of course he wanted to save some energy, but he couldn't ask the rickshaw driver to go to the hotel to keep accounts, so he could only wave his hands and refuse, and used his legs.
------------------
Li Junhao walked on the road, looking at the scenery and recalling the historical knowledge he knew in his previous life.
It is now April 1, 1939. During the July 7th Incident more than a year ago, the Japanese army began to fully invade China, first in North China, then in the Second Battle of Songhu at the end of 1937, the fall of Shanghai and the Nanjing Incident, all of which showed that The brutality of the Japanese army and the weakness of the Chinese military.
Fortunately, after the Battle of Wuhan in October last year, the Japanese offensive began to be weak, and the relatively united Chinese forces also fully turned to the war of resistance, gradually stabilizing the remaining half of the Chinese territory, and turning the war into a It has been dragged into a stalemate stage.
At this time in Shanghai, the French Concession and the Public Concession, which were connected to the city center, still maintained their independent status.
There are more than 15,000 acres of French Concession and more than 33,900 acres of public concession, plus more than 47,000 acres of cross-border road construction area. These more than 60 square kilometers of land are like an isolated island in the Japanese-occupied area, still maintaining their own It operates elegantly, as if it doesn't even know that the eager Japanese invaders are spying on the prosperity here, and they are still singing and dancing; while the Huhaihuajie area outside the concession area has all fallen under the rule of the Japanese army.
