In May 1937, everything seemed uneventful.

The biggest news in the world is nothing more than the burning of the German giant passenger airship "Hindenburg" in New Jersey, USA, burning five people, and since then the airship has withdrawn from the stage of commercial flight.

In China, the Nationalist Government delegation will visit Yan'an for the first time.

In Nanjing, it is even more calm, and everyone is living a step-by-step life.

Even, even the spies of the military command are a little bored.

All the Japanese that were monitored were monitored, and no new Japanese were allowed to enter Nanjing.

It's a little unbelievable.

However, there is only one person who is getting busier and busier:

Meng Shaoyuan!

Led by Song Ziwen and the Bank of China, the weapons provided by the Bank of Eight Nations continued to be delivered to Nanjing.

This included two well-known Makqin heavy machine guns, so that Meng Shaoyuan's special operations group, plus those from Xiao Shanling, had three heavy machine guns.

And with the arrival of the last batch of support weapons, there was an Italian Brixia M3545MM mortar.

This light mortar, some call it "the best designed small-caliber mortar in the world." Critics have called it "the world's most sophisticated device for launching a pound up to 500 yards."

Meng Shao didn't care about this.

It's a real mortar, and lo and behold, workmanship...... It's fucking complicated...... But you see, the Italians also thoughtfully designed a seat for the gunner......

What the hell is the gunner doing on the battlefield to sit so comfortably and fire?

These strange Italians, these strange Italian weapons.

This batch of weapons was personally escorted by Tang Dujin, and he also brought a message from Song Ziwen to Meng Shaoyuan: "Meng Shaoyuan, this is the last batch of weapons I have to support you, I know that you are in frequent contact with Kong Xiangxi now, I could have stopped supporting you, but I know that you are full of blood."

Kong Xiangxi and I have different political views, different views on international economic development, and different personal personalities, so this cannot hinder my support for you. But you have to remember that my weapons will be used on the battlefield to the outside world, and if one day the battle is opened, the muzzles and muzzles of the guns will all be outside! ”

Meng Shaoyuan listened very carefully and seriously.

He knew that Song Ziwen was a representative of the iron-blooded anti-war faction!

So when Tang Dujin finished saying these words, Meng Shaoyuan's waist straightened: "Please tell Mr. Song that Meng Shaoyuan's muzzle will always be external!" ”

Kong Xiangxi was not idle.

The Special Fund was quickly put in place.

With Dai Li's approval, the funds were merged into the accounts of Hang Lung, and a special account was set up, with Lu Yixuan personally in charge of the investment.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately raised a sum of money and entrusted Madame Rose in Shanghai to continue to buy grenades in large quantities.

The members of the Special Operations Group are almost armed to the teeth.

Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, submachine guns......

Meng Shaoyuan was like a greedy miser, who wanted any weapon.

Even ordinary spies are armed.

Is there really going to be a war?

This thought began to grow stronger and stronger in the minds of his men.

In their minds, once Meng Shaoyuan started to prepare something, he would definitely not be wrong.

Even, under Meng Shaoyuan's hints, Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe began to organize frequent combat exercises.

"Is this really trying to treat our spies as regular soldiers?"

Xiang Shounong whispered to Zhu Yanni at one time.

"There are only things that he Young Master Meng can't think of, and there are nothing that he Young Master Meng can't do." Zhu Yanni pursed her lips: "Look at it, if you really want to fight, he Young Master Meng will wave a pistol and force you to fight the striker." ”

"Hmm...... Ah, why do I play as a striker? ”

"Because you're ugly."

"Zhu Yanni, don't think that you can insult people with a little bit of appearance!"

"I ask you, are you ugly?"

"yes, so what?"

"Can people say that they are ugly?"

"Yes...... ......."

"Old Xiang." Zhu Yanni sighed: "Write a suicide note as soon as possible, our young master Meng......"

"Hey...... No, why should I write a suicide note! ”

Perhaps because of Meng Shaoyuan's infection, Dai Li's armed special forces also began to be formally formed.

He ordered that all districts and stations should set up armed special forces, with veteran agents serving as captains at all levels.

"Meng Shaoyuan is crazy, it seems that we are all following him crazy."

Dai Li whispered to Tang Zong: "This kid has decided to fight, and judging from the information coming from our front, the Japanese don't seem to have any major military moves. ”

"Mr. Dai." Tang Zong's face was solemn: "Back then, September 18, January 28, before the war, it was all calm. ”

Dai Li sighed softly: "If the Northeast had been able to resist for a while longer, maybe the situation would have been completely different now...... Forget it, forget it, these words are an afterthought...... Old Tang, do you know what Meng Shaoyuan told me before? ”

Seeing that Tang Zong shook his head, Dai Li lowered his voice: "Meng Shaoyuan said that if the Japanese attack, they must first Beiping and then Shanghai. And once the fight starts, it will be a big fight, no matter whether you live or die, and you will never stop. I don't even know where his confidence comes from. ”

"If you talk about it, let it be heard." Tang Zong smiled: "Regardless of whether he is accurate or not, in short, be prepared, in case he is accurate, if he really fights, he will not panic." ”

Dai Li nodded: "All my district stations have begun to arm, Beiping is too far away, but if there is really a war in Shanghai, all my agents will inevitably go to the battlefield, spill blood for five steps, and die." Old Tang, your order to go to the chairman's chamber has been approved, do you think you can delay it any longer? I really need people here. ”

Tang Zong did not hesitate at all: "You Mr. Dai have the final say, I will drag it out here first, and I will not report until there is no way." ”

At this time, in Meng Shaoyuan's family, Tian Qi, Xiang Shounong, and Zhu Yanni, except for Yuan Zhonghe in Shanghai, all arrived at the old foundation.

Together with Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe, the six of them stood there with solemn expressions.

And newcomers such as Zhao Changle, Guo Rui, Lin Xuan, and Ji Shuang stood side by side in the back.

An offering table is placed in the front, and it is dedicated to Emperor Guan Erye.

Meng Shaoyuan stood at the front, Tian Qi, Xiang Shounong, Zhu Yanni, Yue Zhenchuan, and Wei Yunzhe stood behind him.

Everyone held a stick of incense in their hands.

Xiang Shounong was holding two handfuls, which were taken for Yuan Zhonghe in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan took the lead in kneeling, and all the people behind him knelt on the ground.

Then, Meng Shaoyuan held the lit incense high above his head and recited aloud with his brothers and sisters:

"Guan Ye is above, listen to me cry blood. We are brothers, working together; Report to the state, and go down to the people. To live is to live together, and to die is to die together; If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

Sworn!

In this day and age, worship is the easiest and most effective way to tie everyone to everything!

Meng Shaoyuan and his brothers bowed three times in a row.

Then he got up and put the incense in the censer.

Guo Rui came up with a tray with a bowl of wine and a knife in it.

Starting from Meng Shaoyuan, several people who swore worship used knives to cut their middle fingers and drip blood into the wine.

It's a blood alliance!

Then, starting from the last Zhu Yanni, everyone drank a sip of blood wine.

Meng Shaoyuan was the last to drink, and smashed the empty bowl to the ground:

"Please family law!"

A white cloth with blood written on it was respectfully invited out.

This is the veteran figure who contributed to the establishment of the Lixing Society, Teng Jie, He Jinhan, Pan Youqiang and others of the "Sun Wenism Society", after learning that the Lixing Society was finally established, cut their wrists and bleed into a bowl, which was written by Teng Jie and dipped in blood.

It is to practice the family law!

Meng Shao's original face sank like water, and he said in a low voice:

"Family law, please! Those who are disloyal and unfilial, kill! Rape and captive, kill! Cowards, kill! Resist the order, kill! Leak secrets, kill! Fornication with the Gentiles, kill! Whoever betrays his comrades, kill! ”

"Those who are disloyal and unfilial, kill! Rape and captive, kill! Cowards, kill! Resist the order, kill! Leak secrets, kill! Fornication with the Gentiles, kill! Whoever betrays his comrades, kill! ”

Everyone whispered to him.

Guo Rui, Lin Xuan, and Ji Shuang, the three newcomers, were also reading in a low voice.

At this time, their hearts were full of enthusiasm, and they couldn't wait to worship like Section Chief Meng.

Don't be ashamed of being a spy anymore.

They know that even spies are still full of blood in their hearts.

For example, Section Chief Meng, who usually looks particularly improper, also looks solemn when he recites the family law, and he is doing it as the most sacred thing.

The sworn prayer has been completed.

Meng Shaoyuan was the biggest, and he was their head, although he was young, he was the undisputed boss.

After that, it is divided according to age.

Yuan Zhonghe is the second, Xiang Shounong is the third, Yue Zhenchuan is the fourth, Tian is the fifth, Wei Yunzhe is the sixth, and Zhu Yanni is the youngest and is the seventh sister.

This was later known as the "Seven Tigers of Military Command".

The most controversial in later generations was Tian Qi, his brothers and sisters used to call him "Lao Qi", although the seat ranked fifth, but the name of "Lao Qi" has not changed.

Therefore, historians of later generations have always disputed whether Tian Qi is the fifth or the seventh in the Seven Tigers.

Those folk artists, according to legends, added Guo Rui and others, and gradually deduced the story of "Seven Tigers, Six Leopards and Five Little Dragons".

Meng Shaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the worship is only a formality, and it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no betrayers in the future, at least it gives everyone a sense of ritual.

There is also the family law of the past and the current family law of the military command, which is also a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads.

Yuan Zhonghe had been preparing in Shanghai for a while, and in two or three months, all of them would leave for Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly in his heart.

"By the way, tomorrow is my birthday." Zhu Yanni suddenly said: "Otherwise, Lin Xuan and I will go grocery shopping and have dinner at Young Master Meng's house in the evening, one is to celebrate my birthday, and the other is to celebrate our marriage." ”

"Yes."

Meng Shao agreed without thinking about it.
