The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 612 Trending Topics (Two-in-One Chapter)

Time: 7:47 AM, the 6th day of the rest period.

Just like countless times before, 803 carried a breakfast of tofu pudding and fried cakes into his workplace, where he had worked for several years:
A biopharmaceutical research institute in Northeast China.

During this process, colleagues who were already familiar with each other kept greeting 803 and making some good-natured jokes.

These people were carrying various kinds of breakfast; the aromas of the steaming breakfasts mingled together, filling this ordinary morning with a lively, bustling atmosphere.

When 803 entered the research institute, he saw that every flowerpot, decoration, and tree inside was extremely familiar to him.

Looking at everything that was so familiar, 803 felt an unusually strong sense of unreality.

There's nothing we can do! Don't be fooled by his colleagues' perception that he only took 5 days of annual leave, which means he was absent from work for 5 days.

In reality, it's far more complicated than that.

803 first traveled back in time to Hunan Province more than 80 years ago, where he stayed for more than a month and participated in an extremely difficult process.

The results were even more brilliant than the second and third Battle of C-Sha combined.

After all that trouble, they finally returned to the modern world, only to find that everyone had gone to an island nation to cause trouble.

So, 803 hadn't been to work for a month and a half, and during that time he had gone through countless life-or-death battles.

Now that he has suddenly returned to such a familiar and safe environment, it is normal for him to have some maladjustment.

803's initial feeling of unease quickly vanished, replaced by a sense of pride and even smugness.

He sat behind his desk, having only eaten half of a fried cake in his hand.

The tofu pudding, which is supposed to be savory, was completely untouched.

Suddenly, I heard my colleague Lao Chen's excited voice: "Good heavens! Breaking news! Kato-sensei has been released!"

There is ample evidence, and multiple witnesses testify that he was shopping at a supermarket at the time and did not participate in the attack on the Central Bureau of Investigation branch building.

So, are those mustachioed men, their three most famous generals, and a whole bunch of others really them?

Old Chen's high-pitched shouts immediately caught everyone's attention.

Everyone ate their varied breakfasts and began a lively discussion.

Although 803 wasn't involved, he was incredibly excited.

Similar disputes are not only happening in their workplace; in fact, they are also occurring fiercely online and offline in almost every corner of the planet.

It all started two days ago, on the fourth day of the rest period.

The battle surrounding the China Q Bureau building, once news and videos were leaked, immediately ignited the passion of onlookers worldwide.

There's no way around it! There are just too many eye-catching factors in this battle; you could easily list several.

As a result, now, whether in China or abroad, the top ten trending topics on numerous online platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and Douyin are all related to this topic...

For example, when you wake up on the morning of August 803rd and turn on your phone, you will see the latest rankings on Baidu's trending topics list.

The number one trending topic was actually a video.

More accurately, the entire scene of the live stream by the German influencer Neelem was recorded by the viewers in the live stream after they realized what was happening.

Some of the more gory scenes were only slightly censored before being uploaded to the internet.

Goodness! The most viewed one has reached six billion views.

This is just the number of views for the same video on one online platform; God knows how many people have seen it, and how many have watched it repeatedly.

The second most searched topic was about historical figures such as the man with the mustache and Qiu the Fat Man who appeared that day. Were they real people or just people who looked alike?

Or perhaps they've had plastic surgery like this, deliberately stirring up controversy.

Logically speaking, there's nothing to argue about; the fact that the dead cannot be brought back to life is already common knowledge.

The key point is that these people are not only similar in appearance, but also in temperament; leading many people to instinctively believe that they are definitely not just lookalikes, or fakes created through plastic surgery.

That German-style internet celebrity, Neelham, is the best example of this.

The third most searched topic on Baidu is the latest nickname given to Hu Biao and others by netizens.

Before Hu Biao and his group took action, they did think that this matter would become quite big; but they never expected it to become so big and attract so much attention.

Therefore, when they took action, they did not think about leaving any name behind, and outsiders naturally did not know how to distinguish them.

Therefore, regarding the titles given to these powerful figures, netizens from various countries spontaneously took notice and began voting on the matter.

After a round of competition, the "Old Antiques Alliance" was selected with an overwhelming majority of votes, which became the official name given to Hu Biao and his group by outsiders.

The emergence of this term seems quite natural given the nature of white people; their naming skills are just so-so.

It's not the Avengers, it's the Justice League, etc., so adding another old-fashioned alliance would be quite reasonable.

However, when Hu Biao and his men saw this name, they were all extremely annoyed. What kind of lousy name is this?

The fourth trending topic was the famous British newspaper, The Sun, which published a news article: they had obtained casualty figures from a well-informed source, but neither Uncle Sam's family nor the Japanese army would admit to them.

According to incomplete statistics, this battle lasted only about twenty minutes.

203 white men from the China Q Bureau's Japanese branch died and 51 were seriously injured; 1032 Japanese employees died and 672 were seriously injured.

Among the white men and Japanese employees mentioned above, there were basically no lightly wounded.

This means that since World War I, the largest branch of the island nation in Asia has been completely wiped out; it is even said that a large number of classified documents were lost, which is the biggest loss for the China Q Bureau since its establishment.

In addition, the military lost one fifth-generation fighter jet and one pilot.

The Japanese suffered 209 deaths and 112 serious injuries. They also lost four helicopters and five armored vehicles, as well as numerous Toyota Crowns, motorcycles, and bicycles.

Besides the police officer, 145 Japanese civilians were killed and 102 were seriously injured.

Of these civilian casualties, more than 95% were caused by the collapse of the eight-story building that was destroyed by that Hellfire missile.

According to many military experts, the soldier pilot could have avoided such a tragedy.

In response to the above accusations, Uncle Sam's side explained that it was all caused by the mistake of the pilot on the No. 35B fighter jet at the time.

They expressed their regret, condolences, and sympathies to the deceased islanders and their families.

The pilot was originally supposed to be punished, but since he was dead, the punishment was dropped.
And then, that's it. If an owner accidentally steps on their dog's foot, all they need to do is say a simple "sorry."

Otherwise, what kind of substantial compensation should the owner provide for the dog they own?

The fifth most searched topic was Uncle Sam's response to the incident.

Due to the time difference, it was already evening at the Chinese headquarters that day, and the staff at the White House had just started their shift when they issued a serious statement at an emergency press conference. They declared it a war, a shameless sneak attack launched by certain evil organizations against the home of the great Uncle Sam.

Its severity was in no way inferior to the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.

Therefore, Uncle Sam and his allies will spare no effort to dig out the members of the "Old Antiques Alliance".

Kill them and give them a just trial.

Unfortunately, despite Uncle Sam's loud pronouncements, they have not only failed to capture any of them, but have also found no useful clues.

How did the enemy manage to transport such large and conspicuous equipment as airplanes, tanks, and 105mm howitzers into Dongjing City?

How did he disappear afterward, under the watchful eyes of so many people?
They immediately blocked all roads, stations, and docks. How did they manage to get this equipment out? They searched high and low but couldn't find it.

They still have no clue about these most basic questions.

In short, the top trending searches on the internet in the past two days have all been about Hu Biao and his group causing trouble in Japan, and related content.

All other news, such as which celebrity cheated, which celebrity couple is getting a divorce, who is going to hold a concert, or whose new movie is about to be released, all take a backseat.

It didn't even make it to the trending topics list; it didn't even cause a ripple.

As for the 'Kato-sensei' that Lao Chen mentioned above, it was actually Lao Ma in disguise as Kato Ei.

Afterwards, they examined footage from nearby security cameras and recordings from Neelham's live stream.

Uncle Sam's family and the Japanese devils have placed all their efforts on this teacher Kato, since he is the easiest target for them to find.

Perhaps the battle that day left them with too much psychological trauma.

When they went to arrest Kato-sensei's family, they deployed a frighteningly large armed force.

Not only are there hundreds of soldiers stationed there, but there are also multiple fighter jets circling overhead, drones and armed helicopters flying low, and even several Abrams main battle tanks on the ground.

What happened? As soon as they reached the door, Kato-sensei, terrified, opened it and surrendered.

With a voice trembling with tears, she began, "Brother Su! I know it's wrong that I was dating Mrs. Youli next door, but you don't have to make such a fuss to arrest me, do you?"

Then, poor Kato-sensei was released this morning after being detained for more than a day.

The reason is simple: when Lao Ma disguised himself as Kato-sensei, mounted a Type 93 13.2mm heavy machine gun, and fired wildly at the Japanese police.

The real Kato-sensei was shopping for groceries at the supermarket with Mrs. Yuri next door.

This scene has been witnessed by many people, and has been captured by surveillance cameras in multiple locations.

Such an interesting piece of news about Kato would normally have been the number one trending topic; but today, it barely made it into the top ten.

This shows just how much of a stir Hu Biao and his gang have caused in the last few days...

******
The heated discussion among Lao Chen and the others subsided after the department head walked into the office and coughed twice.

However, this quietness is only superficial.

Everyone kept quiet, but privately they were all holding their phones or turning on their computers, silently scrolling through the news.

803 did the same, but instead of browsing the news, he clicked into the time traveler chat group, intending to chat and joke around with everyone.

However, as soon as you clicked in, you saw Black Star using a very frustrated voice to say the following:
"Damn it! I finally got to go to Japan, and I completely forgot about something so important."

You said if we came back a day later, we could go to Mount Fuji that night.

If we raise a flag of the Republic of China on it and let the flag of the Empress Dowager flutter in the wind, those ancestors who risked their lives to fight the Japanese invaders back then would surely be very gratified.

Because countless people, even on their deathbeds, dreamed of raising their battle flag over this island nation.

Perhaps inspired by Black Star, AT also considered some actions, and after speaking, he said with regret:

"After raising the flag, they could also dump all the remaining grenades, shells, explosives, and gasoline from everyone's shopping baskets into the mountain pass."

I remember that we still had more than ten tons of 98-octane gasoline left at the time.

If they were all detonated at once, the force wouldn't be enough to ignite the volcano; but the commotion would surely scare the Japanese soldiers and their troops to death.

Both of these scenarios are incredibly tempting.

Thinking back to how everyone could have easily done it, but missed the opportunity because they hadn't thought of it, the group chat was filled with voices of regret and sighs.

They were still quite shrewd; they knew that if it weren't for the mysterious entity that temporarily enhanced their abilities and provided so many temporary props, they would have been completely different.

Trying to cause trouble in the island nation again is tantamount to courting death.

This situation persisted until Huang Adi tentatively suggested:

"Why don't we put Annie through some hardship? Let her take on more jobs in Japan and hang out with the people from the China Q Bureau. Those white men will naturally target her again."

But since the mysterious existence wouldn't actually harm Annie, wouldn't the opportunity and ability to cause trouble in the island nation immediately return?

Upon hearing this statement, 803's eyes lit up immediately, and he was about to type "agree".

As is well known, he is a mountaineering enthusiast, and Mount Fuji, which is owned by the Japanese, is quite famous.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for him to climb Mount Fuji; after successfully reaching the top, it is also reasonable for him to plant a flag to mark his visit and light a fire with hundreds of tons of gasoline.

Before he could even speak, Hu Biao started cursing in the group chat:
"Get lost! You can go work in Japan if you want. I'll ask Annie's agent to help you find some male teacher jobs. I think you're physically capable of doing them."

Faced with Hu Biao's suggestion to be a 'male teacher', the members of the transmigrator team couldn't help but shudder.

If you treat it as a hobby, it's certainly quite interesting, but if you treat it as a job and do it every day, even the strongest kidneys can't take it, and it will become boring.

So everyone quickly changed the subject and started talking about the next time travel.

Soon, the atmosphere in the chat group became more lively.

No other reason than that during their last journey, they brought back a large amount of weapons and ammunition using only vegetable baskets, and they didn't even use up a quarter of it in the island nation.

This means that this time, they don't need to prepare weapons and ammunition in the modern world at all.

More importantly, when they left, the timeline had reached early October of the 10th year of the Republic of China.

Given the powerful inertia of history, the Japanese would launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor two months later; and after being severely punished, Uncle Sam would value China even more.

Various aid supplies will gradually arrive under the aid bill.

Although the quantity and strength were far inferior to those of Europe, they greatly alleviated China's predicament, and China finally survived its most isolated and helpless period.

Putting everything else aside, the air support alone would allow Hu Biao and his team to solve their most troublesome air defense problem.

In short, the next time they travel through time, things should be much easier, and they should be able to fight the Japanese more easily and enjoyably...
