Chapter 1491 Captain Jia's Ambition (First update, please subscribe)
The sun shone vertically down along the wall, all the way to the end of the alley, onto the disorderly windows on the wall, onto the flower pots on the windowsills, onto the underwear and petticoats drying on the ropes, onto the steps and the stone pavement, and into the dark and musty room.
Justin was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. The ceiling was creaking, and there was a hint of teasing in his expression as he listened to the rhythmic sound.
"Millie, this little slut..."
When muttering this name, Justin thought about the flirtatious look she gave him when he came back last night.
I couldn't help but touch the scar on my forehead, and the look in his eyes became more complicated.
"I found it."
Pien said as soon as he finished speaking.
The officer raised his baton and hit him on the head with all his strength.
"You damned Irish thief!"
Pien almost fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his forehead, which was broken and bleeding.
Why?
It was because he picked up a wallet and was framed as a thief by the police. At that time, he... was just a poor Irish guy in the slums. No one looked up to him. Even a prostitute like Millie would not look at him straight in the eye. Anyone could bully this Irish boy.
But what about now?
Looking up at the uniforms hanging on the hanger, Pien's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat complacent, even a little arrogant.
After getting up and washing up simply, Pien picked up the black uniform from the bed. The black uniform was very full and looked inconspicuous, but what did this uniform symbolize?
A symbol of power and authority!
A black uniform, black breeches, and black high-waisted leather boots, smelling of leather and shoe polish.
Black leather force belt and a black military cap with a silver eagle emblem.
Looking at himself in the mirror, a sheriff's captain watching him, he had his service pistol tucked into his waist, a Smith & Wesson 1888 revolver.
Then he nodded and walked out of the room.
"Captain, don't you want to move out of this place?"
At the intersection, Halsey glanced at the dilapidated house behind the captain.
"No hurry,"
Pien grinned.
"Come on, let's go have breakfast."
The place where they had breakfast was a restaurant at the intersection. Many people nearby had breakfast there. Although the security team provided breakfast, Pinn liked to have breakfast here. After all, the security team's breakfast was not so varied.
"Ah, Captain, you are here. What would you like to order today?"
As soon as he entered the restaurant, the waitress Sandy greeted him warmly and poured him a cup of coffee.
"Same as usual."
A piece of toast, a hard-boiled egg, cheese, German sausage, and ham... Although this is a slum, there are many varieties of breakfast.
After a simple breakfast, Justin got up and left the restaurant. As he left, Bieber, the owner behind the counter, nodded at him with a smile on his face.
"Bieber, how much is it?"
"Look at what you said, Captain. It's our honor to have you dine here. It's not about money. This is what's important."
Justin, who had no intention of taking out his wallet at all, said this.
"All right."
"Welcome to come again next time, Captain."
With Bieber's warm greeting, Justin and Halsey left the restaurant. The moment the door closed, the smile on Bieber's face disappeared and he cursed at their backs.
"The damned second devils are relying on the power of the Ming devils."
As soon as he finished cursing, people who were having breakfast started cursing too.
"That's right, a miser who doesn't even want to pay for breakfast..."
"Not only that, he didn't even pay my tip."
"God bless him, he may run into the guerrillas and be killed..."
…
Although he couldn't hear the scolding in the restaurant, Justin seemed to have telepathy and said, "They must be scolding me."
"Captain, it's only a few dozen points."
Halsey rolled his eyes. Sometimes he didn't want to take advantage of the captain. It was too cheap.
"What do you know!"
Justin said, turning his head to look at Halsey.
"Do you know how they looked down on me in the past? Before the imperial soldiers came, I was like a wild dog. Everyone could bully me and scold me, but now..."
Justin said proudly, patting his uniform.
"The imperial soldiers are coming. If I don't bully them and get back at the losses I suffered in the past, then the imperial soldiers' coming here would be in vain!"
After saying that, he proudly took out a box of Peony cigarettes, took out one and lit it, and when he exhaled the smoke, his expression was so proud.
"So, it's good that the Imperial soldiers are here!"
If the imperial soldiers hadn't come, would he have been able to live such a good life now? Of course, what's more important is to surrender to the empire, which is the most important thing. As the saying goes in the empire, a man who knows the times is a hero.
And isn’t he a Junjie?
Soon the two of them arrived at the security team. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw an imperial officer in green uniform in the corridor reaching out to him.
"Captain Jia, come here."
"Ah, Commander Lee."
Hurrying down the corridor, Justin stood at attention and saluted.
"What do you want, sir?"
He spoke Mandarin with a Cantonese accent. Although it was not standard, it was very fresh. The reason why he could become a team leader was because he could speak some Mandarin. He used to hang out in Chinatown in San Francisco. It was there... that he was able to regain some dignity. At least no one in Chinatown would look down on him. It was for this reason that he learned to speak some Mandarin. He didn't expect that it would come in handy here.
"Get ready. This afternoon, you will cooperate with the Imperial Security Force to search and eliminate the guerrillas outside the city."
"Clear the guerrillas!"
Justin was stunned when he heard this.
Leaving the city, clearing out the enemies...that means war!
Looking at Justin in front of him, Li Defu patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Captain Jia, I personally fought for this opportunity, and I fully recommended you. You must cherish the opportunity!"
"Ah, yes, yes, thank you for your training, sir."
It has come to this, what else can I do except say thank you?
"You are a local and are familiar with the local environment. If you can be a good guide, it will be a great achievement. If you can find the resistance members, it will also be a credit. You can speak Mandarin. With the credit, it will be very easy for you to get promoted! I am optimistic about you!"
"Yes, yes, thank you sir."
So there is an opportunity for promotion, Justin said gratefully.
"I will do my best to serve the empire and will never let Commander Li down."
Then Justin whispered again.
"When I return, I will invite you to have tea with Mrs. Harris so that I can express my gratitude to you in person."
"Haha, you are thoughtful, kid..."
Li Defu patted his shoulder hard.
"You don't need the tea from Mrs. Harris. You report to the Third Regiment of the Security Army this afternoon. I am also going to the front line!"
It's a pity that he can't drink tea from Mrs. Harris. In fact, Li Defu really likes to learn English there with the ladies in the house. After all, it's an occupied area, and learning a foreign language is helpful for communicating with others.
"Ah, the commander is going to the front!"
Justin's expression changed slightly. Commander Li... they have been friends for a long time. How could he leave like this? He would have to please the next commander again.
But it seems to have no effect. After all, these imperial officers are all alone when they come here. As long as they are taken to certain places, it is easy to please these people.
Oops, no big deal.
"Yes, to serve the Empire!"
After saying that, Li Defu said to Justin.
"Captain Jia, you must also cherish this opportunity and serve the empire!"
Yes, you must do your best for the empire. After all, it is an opportunity to get promoted and make money.
"Yes, yes, please rest assured, sir. I will live up to your cultivation and will be loyal to the empire!"
Li Defu nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
"Very good, let us serve the empire together!"
