"So, young man, is this the future motherland?"

Kong Jie looked around and felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity with everything.

This is the land that I and my brothers fought and bled to conquer.

He even scooped up a handful of sand, wanting to use it to commemorate his fallen comrades.

Tell them that the motherland has been liberated and that the motherland has become strong.

Li Chang'an looked at them and shook his head: "No, this is another world!"

Kong Jie paused, holding the sand in his hand, and then casually tossed the sand away.

What a garbage place! The sea breeze is so strong, and the air smells awful. It doesn't look like our beautiful motherland at all.

Ding Wei stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought: "Oh, if this isn't our motherland, then where is it?"

"This is the Ming Dynasty, but not the Ming Dynasty where the emperor guards the country's gates; it's another world."

"It's like everyone is reading a book, and this world is similar to the world inside the book."

"The people here know martial arts, can leap across rooftops and scale walls, and can even shatter a large rock with a single palm strike."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong became interested: "Is it really that amazing?"

"Young comrade, how did you come into this world?"

He had a good impression of this younger brother from the same clan.

He looked just like Old Li, and was a handsome young man known throughout the surrounding area.

Moreover, since they both shared the surname Li, he found Li Chang'an even more agreeable.

As for their guard, they gradually lowered their guard.

Li Yunlong had seen all sorts of people during his years of fighting, and he had developed a keen eye for them.

This young man's respect for them was genuine.

When talking about their motherland, they were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves. The pride in their words and the smugness on their faces came from the bottom of their hearts.

Upon hearing Li Yunlong's words, Li Chang'an gave a wry smile and then began to tell his story.

Three regimental commanders and a group of soldiers from the Eighth Army sat on the beach, listening to him travel back to the Ming Dynasty and live the life of a wealthy landlord, filled with envy.

Li Chang'an also openly and frankly explained the system task.

With the Emperor's Armor in hand, he wasn't afraid of Li Yunlong and the others having any ulterior motives.

Unlimited resurrection coins, and the Emperor Armor's automatic protection function.

These two things are his source of confidence.

When Li Yunlong heard about the mission reward, his eyes lit up instantly.

"This mission is great! This mission is great!"

He was as happy as a child and jumped up immediately.

The other soldiers were also somewhat happy, as they were afraid that they would come to this unfamiliar world and not know what to do.

But hearing that the Japanese were still fighting, they felt relieved.

They didn't care where they were, as long as they could fight the Japanese devils.

Even if they die, when they get to the underworld, they will still find a way to beat up the Japanese devils.

This deep-seated hatred cannot be avenged simply by the death of the Japanese devils.

Li Yunlong touched the pistol at his waist and said with a smile, "I'm not good at other things, but fighting the Japanese is my specialty."

"Besides weaving baskets, all Old Li knows how to do is fight the Japanese devils."

Kong Jie, puffing on his pipe, said, "That was great! That was great! I never thought I could have a go at beating up brats here."

Ding Wei also said with a smile, "No matter who wants to fight the Japanese devils, I must lend a hand."

"I didn't bring any of my men with me, so please don't mind, young comrade."

Li Chang'an waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's alright, Commander Ding. I'll arrange for you to have 100,000 or 200,000 men later. I'll make sure you have a good time."

Upon hearing that they would be given 100,000 or 200,000 men, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie's eyes lit up.

Goodness, it seems this young man is doing quite well here, with tens of thousands of men under his command—that's the size of fifty regiments.

Even with the training regiment and directly subordinate battalions, the 129th Division only had a little over 13,000 men.

That's about seven or eight men from the 129th Division. They can finally experience what it's like to be the commander-in-chief of a military region.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong immediately leaned over and said, "Young comrade, you can't just give it to Ding Wei. We're from the same clan, so you have to give me some soldiers too. We don't need much, just 80,000 will do."

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an laughed: "Eighty thousand is not enough. If the Japanese see this, they'll think that China has no one."

"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand for one person!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn't stop smiling.

He never dared to dream that he could lead 100,000 men to fight the Japanese.

Ding Wei, however, seemed to have thought of something and asked Li Chang'an.

"By the way, young man, since you come from the future, can you tell us brothers what our lives will be like in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an fell silent.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

As he fell silent, the surroundings also quieted down.

Kong Jie was a little confused and asked, "Young comrade, tell me, did we die in battle?"

"It's alright, if someone dies, they die. It's our destiny to die on the battlefield. We were prepared for that."

Li Yunlong glared at him when he heard this.

Ding Wei patted Li Chang'an on the shoulder and said, "I understand, you don't need to say anything."

"Peace is established by generals; such things are quite normal."

"As long as our motherland is strong and our people live in peace and contentment, we can say that we have died a worthy death."

Old Li laughed and said, "That's right, we might not even be able to go back, so why bother with these things?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Jie understood what was going on, and after puffing on his pipe, he grinned.

"As long as we drive the Japanese devils away, that's enough. Old Kong doesn't dare to ask for anything else."

Looking at their indifferent expressions, Li Chang'an felt a tightness in his chest.

"Alright, alright, a real man doesn't need to piss himself over this."

Seeing his expression, Li Yunlong said, "Didn't you say that the mission reward was a modified Type 59 main battle tank independently developed by our country? Show it to us."

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, young comrade, but I've never ridden in a tank before."

Ding Wei chimed in, "Yes, yes, let us see our country's own tanks too."

"Our brothers here have only ever blown up Japanese tanks, they've never driven one before."

Kong Jie nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "Let me broaden my horizons and experience the thrill of driving my own tank and chasing after the Japanese devils."
