Chapter 159

After the two parties reached an agreement, Hu Biao took Harrison Foreman to the waterway on the first floor, intending to conduct the agreed interview there.

After hearing the news, other time travelers, whether they were veterans or novices, all came in droves.

The expression on his face was eager to try, and he seemed quite interested; Huang Yizi even adjusted his hairstyle along the way.

The reason why they behaved this way is simple.

On the one hand, it is true that they are all awesome time travelers, but before they traveled through time in the modern dimension, they were just ordinary people.

Basically, I have no experience of appearing on TV news or in newspapers; let alone such a high-profile interview.

After crossing over, before he had the chance to show off, he was faced with a life-and-death battle in the warehouse.

So they wanted to come over and rub against it but not go in.

Wrong! He was here to get an interview with this foreign guy, so that he could get his face in the newspaper, or have a chance to show off.

On the other hand, they wanted to make some special voices through this interview.

Because of the limitations of that mysterious place, they cannot talk about some of the trajectories of future historical development, and even if they do, it probably won't be published.

But that doesn't mean they can't say something about this great war to defend the country.

Let more people see it and get some encouragement and help.

Then other time travelers, including Mo Shuiyan, who was limping with an injured leg, came to watch the interview.

It should be noted that the water and electricity in the warehouse have been cut off.

Arranged by professional electrician Xufeng, the "electrotherapy" tactic lost the necessary conditions for implementation.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Japanese from sneaking in through the waterway and launching a surprise attack in the future, an old-fashioned steel gate has been lowered here in the waterway, which is considered to have blocked it.

However, the task of guarding the waterway at night fell on Hu Biao's third squad.

Therefore, after the agreed time in the evening, Hu Biao and his team could secretly open the sluice gate for a while to make it easier for Annie to deliver things.

In the end, Hu Biao and Harrison Foreman randomly found a sack filled with soybeans and sat down; Hei Xing, Huang A'di and others listened and kept watch on the side.

Harrison Foreman's belated interview has finally begun.

First, Harrison Foreman asked the most concerning question:

"Mr. Hu Biao, the government announced your death a few days ago, but you are clearly not dead, so why didn't you take the initiative to reveal your identity?

So, have you been treated unfairly, or have you offended someone?"

Even though there were many problems among the top leaders of the National Army, Hu Biao was still full of resentment.

But Hu Biao was also clear about one thing: it was not a reason for him to tell everything to the foreigners and use them to laugh at them, making them look down on this country even more and affecting the overall situation of the War of Resistance.

So I answered seriously: "Absolutely not, the above problem does not exist at all.

Several of us were unconscious in the explosion and had no personal identification information on us, so we were mistaken for ordinary soldiers by friendly forces and sent to a field hospital.

When we woke up, the hospital was being evacuated in a hurry. Due to some coincidences, we came here and joined Captain Xie's 524th Regiment.

He didn't want to reveal his identity, he just wanted to fight as an ordinary soldier.

It's not because of my fame as Hu Biao or my status as a mid-level officer that I receive preferential treatment."

In this way, Harrison Foreman kept asking various questions, and Hu Biao or other time travelers answered them.

Even in their statements, they have been very restrained because of the restrictions.

However, some new concepts and insights that far exceeded this era still shocked Harrison Foreman, the foreign reporter.

He was writing down the details quickly in his notebook while thinking happily in his heart:

"It was such a good idea to come to Sihang Warehouse today with this adventure..."

*****
An hour later, I looked at the notebook with a lot of content written on it.

Harrison Foreman said to the crowd with satisfaction: "Thank you, Mr. Hu Biao, and all the brave Chinese soldiers, thank you for your cooperation.

I believe that after this interview is reported, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in the Western civilized world.

As for the issue of my identity being exposed, you don't have to worry about it for at least a week. My manuscript needs to be sent back to the New York Times and Times headquarters by airmail for publication. It will take at least a week to arrive, and it will take even longer to be published.

At this point, Hu Biao’s interview has come to an end.

The crisis of Hu Biao and others' identities being exposed was successfully postponed for at least a week.

By that time, Hu Biao and his men would have already escaped from the concession and even teleported back to the modern dimension. They wouldn't have to worry about the trouble of various forces chasing them for penicillin.

What Hu Biao and others didn't know was that when their interview with Harrison Foreman was about to end, Captain Xie also put down the phone.

By the way! After Daozi delivered the telephone line, it was quickly connected to an existing telephone in the warehouse office.

After learning that the phone was finally restored, Captain Xie ended his chat with a foreign reporter and picked up the phone to make a long phone call.

First, I talked with Mr. Du, the boss who delivered the telephone lines, for a long time.

The content of the conversation was that Captain Xie asked what supplies the 524th Regiment currently needed in the warehouse, as well as what other help it needed. Boss Du said he would find a solution immediately.

Then came Captain Xie and Secretary Zhang from the Demon City Government, who chatted for a longer period of time.

They talked about the latest developments in the war in Shanghai over the past few days; Secretary Zhang expressed a series of praise for the excellent performance of Captain Xie and the 524th Regiment.

He even told Captain Xie a good news: in view of their outstanding performance and good results.

The bald principal has already ordered the formal promotion of Xie Jinyuan, who was originally only an adjutant of the regiment, to the official commander of the 524th Regiment, and all other officers and soldiers of the 524th Regiment will be rewarded.

Before hanging up the phone, Captain Xie suddenly thought of something and added:
"Secretary Zhang, please help me check Hu Delu from the 1020th Regiment of the Gui Army. The more detailed the information, the better.

No! He was definitely not a spy planted by the Japanese, because they played a very crucial role in the defense of the warehouse in the past two days.

It's just that he and his companions performed a little too well.

The military qualities and insights they demonstrated were far beyond the level of a few ordinary soldiers.

So after you finish your investigation and prove that they don't have any major problems, I will promote Hu Delu to lieutenant commander of the 524rd Company, nd Battalion, th Regiment in the name of the regiment commander.

Several of his companions would also be promoted, and all the information would be recorded in the files of the 88th Division.

If there are any major problems, please inform me immediately."

After hearing this, Secretary Zhang on the other end of the phone gave the following response: "Don't worry, Captain Xie, I will have someone investigate Hu Delu's case right away.

However, the Gui army suffered heavy casualties in the Yunzaobang counterattack and is now being transferred to Wuxi for rest and recuperation.

Everything is in such a mess that it's quite difficult to find someone. I don't think I can get any results in a day or two, so I can only say that I'll do it as soon as possible..."

After hanging up the phone, Captain Xie came to the first floor again.

When Harrison Foreman, who had just finished an interview, saw this, the foreigner instinctively asked, "Captain Xie, how many soldiers are there in the warehouse?"

"Eight hundred people." After hesitating for a moment, Captain Xie gave this number.

Then, the voice became decisive and repeated the number again: "Yes, that's eight hundred people."

Perhaps because he was in a good mood at the moment, Harrison Foreman suggested: "Okay, if you like, when we return, we will tell everyone that there are 800 warriors defending here.

Oh right! Why don’t you let me take a group photo of you guys? It’ll be a souvenir.

Please rest assured that this photo will not appear in the newspapers in the short term, so as not to let the Japanese know your true military strength."

Upon hearing that they could take a photo with their brothers who had shared life and death as a souvenir, Captain Xie immediately smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you, reporter friend."

Upon hearing this, the other Kuomintang brothers from the 524th Regiment also became eager to try.

Only the four veterans, Hu Biao, Hei Xing, Huang A-di and Bo Shu, felt a big shock in their hearts after hearing the term "group photo".

Because according to previous experience, once a photo was taken before the war, it was like being on the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death, and it was a life-or-death situation.

In order to avoid this situation, Hu Biao had kept his camera well hidden.

It was just to avoid the situation of taking a photo together, but who would have thought that the foreigner Harrison Foreman would say this.

But seeing how much the brothers were looking forward to it, they had no choice but to suppress their objections.

At the same time, I hope that everything is just a coincidence and they are just imagining things...
