Chapter 500 Afraid of being too late
After serving the last old lady in line, she watched her leave with half a sack of supplies and her two grandchildren.
Jiang Wanwan looked around the empty supermarket, which finally became quiet,
and breathed a sigh of relief. She first gulped down half a bottle of mineral water to relieve her dry throat, then took out her mobile phone to check the time.
Oh, it's already past eleven o'clock.
Although her legs were sore from standing and her throat was dry from talking, Jiang Wanwan knew in her heart that she didn't have much time to rest.
Because the most important thing was the matter of the Expeditionary Force and the child soldiers, waiting for her to deal with!
Jiang Wanwan put down the bottle of mineral water and looked at the tall figure in military uniform who strode into the supermarket.
"Hello, Miss Jiang. I am Zhao Jingguo, the commander of the 309th Regiment of the 88th Division of the 71st Army of the Expeditionary Force!" The visitor introduced himself.
"Hello, Commander Zhao!" Jiang Wanwan greeted.
In fact, when she was receiving the villagers earlier, she happened to look up and saw a figure in military uniform standing under the tree outside the door. She guessed that the other party should be the person in charge of the Expeditionary Force camp at the foot of the mountain.
However, Jiang Wanwan was busy receiving the villagers at the time. Seeing that the other party was patiently waiting, she did not say anything.
Now that the villagers have bought things and left, it is naturally his turn.
"The goods here, Miss Jiang, really opened my eyes. You are indeed worthy of being called an immortal!" Zhao Jingguo praised.
Immortal?
Jiang Wanwan performed a few tricks in front of Mrs. Yang at the beginning, and the subsequent transactions have been smooth.
Therefore, it is obvious how the other party knew this point.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and evaded the question: "I don't dare to be an immortal. It was just a misunderstanding of Mrs. Yang. It doesn't matter who I am. Captain Zhao just needs to know that I am a patriot!"
Seeing that the other party did not want to discuss the identity, Captain Zhao did not ask any more questions. After the greetings, he returned to the main topic.
"Excuse me, how much inventory is left after Miss Jiang provides these supplies to the villagers?" "
Don't worry, it's enough to supply the expeditionary army." Jiang Wanwan pointed out the meaning.
Captain Zhao looked a little more relaxed and asked again, "Can I only buy things after I come here to test that value?"
Obviously, after watching for a while, Captain Zhao was already very familiar with the supermarket process.
"Yes, the value tested is just like money. Only when we know how much money each person has can we know what we can buy." Jiang Wanwan explained in detail.
Captain Zhao frowned and asked again: "I heard that Miss Jiang will leave tonight?"
"Yes, she will leave at 12 o'clock in the evening!" Jiang Wanwan answered and asked: "Can your soldiers on the mountain come down the mountain today?"
Captain Zhao shook his head and replied: "No, now is a critical moment. According to the plan, I will lead everyone in the camp up the mountain tomorrow morning, and then gather all the troops to launch a general attack on the main peak of Songshan."
Hearing this, Jiang Wanwan gave up those unrealistic ideas and said frankly.
"There is no other way. We can only rely on the soldiers who stay at the foot of the mountain. You can let them come in batches later!"
Captain Zhao also quickly accepted this reality, thought about it and asked again.
"After the soldiers are tested, they should be able to accumulate points, and then purchase supplies together, right?"
Jiang Wanwan was not surprised by this question at all, and nodded: "Yes, but I have a condition."
Captain Zhao listened, his expression slightly condensed, and asked cautiously: "What condition?"
Jiang Wanwan immediately said what she wanted to do since she knew that this was the Battle of Songshan.
"I heard that you recruited 7,000 child soldiers. I hope that the points of these child soldiers can be reserved for them to distribute themselves, and other soldiers do not make any requirements!"
Captain Zhao was stunned. He thought that the conditions proposed by the other party might be related to the army, or beneficial to themselves, but the result was greatly unexpected.
Then Captain Zhao reacted again, thinking that Jiang Wanwan was worried about the problem of material distribution, so he promised.
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang. Although the supplies are purchased in bulk, they will be distributed fairly and no one will be left out."
"Captain Zhao misunderstood. I naturally believe that you will distribute them fairly!" Jiang Wanwan finished speaking, facing Captain Zhao's puzzled eyes, and silently spoke her mind.
"I just heard that such young children are about to go to the battlefield. I want them to taste delicious food and taste the taste of candy before facing the rain of bullets!" Before
facing the cruelest thing in the world, at least taste the sweetness of life!
Jiang Wanwan was just an ordinary person before getting the golden finger.
Even now, she is just an ordinary person who is a little stronger.
Jiang Wanwan certainly doesn't want the 7,000 child soldiers to go to the battlefield, but she can't think of an effective way to deal with it.
If there really was such a way, others would have thought of it long ago, so why would she have to worry about it.
Although she couldn't stop it, Jiang Wanwan still wanted to do something for them as much as possible.
She remembered that at the site of the modern Songshan Battle, in the child soldier cemetery with statues standing tall, there were many snacks and candies placed in front of the tombs.
Those were the earnest wishes of the people, hoping that these children who would never grow up could have a taste.
Jiang Wanwan couldn't stop them from going to the battlefield, but she wanted to bring the sincere wishes of the people to them.
Captain Zhao might distribute the supplies fairly, but it was uncertain how much he could get and when he would get them.
Jiang Wanwan was afraid that it would be too late!
She was afraid that the more than 1,000 children who died in the Songshan Battle in history would stay there forever before they had a chance to taste the candy.
Therefore, Jiang Wanwan made this request. 500 points of national destiny factor were enough for the children to taste all the delicacies in the supermarket before going to the battlefield.
Captain Zhao should have seen her intention. After a moment of silence, he agreed to the request.
However, after the request was met, Jiang Wanwan felt more and more lonely.
For a while, both parties lost the desire to continue the conversation.
After a long silence, seeing that Captain Zhao was about to leave, Jiang Wanwan remembered that there was still something important to say.
Captain Zhao had already seen other goods in the supermarket during the transactions with the villagers just now.
Only weapons such as guns and ammunition had to be taken out one by one and introduced to him.
After Jiang Wanwan finished explaining all the weapons, Captain Zhao was naturally happy, but not particularly excited. After all
, although the expeditionary forces lacked weapons throughout the Battle of Songshan, what they lacked were heavy weapons such as cannons that could attack mountains.
Short-range offensive weapons such as pistols were not of much help in this battle.
Grenades, flash bombs and bulletproof vests, on the other hand, could still be of some use.
