I'm asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions here! Thanks! There's still one more chapter left before midnight tonight.

  Gao Yang sat in the chair, reviewing the compiled report sent by Wekes. As for the establishment setting mentioned in the report, the allocation of weapons and equipment, and the planning of the defense zone, he just had a simple understanding.

  What caught Gao Yang's attention was the following paragraph: "Due to a large shortage of grassroots officers, we hereby apply for the first batch of students from Nanjing Military Academy to graduate ahead of schedule and join the army!"

  To be honest, Gao Yang was very tempted by this suggestion. After all, there were too many German mercenaries in the Gao Yang army now!

  Many people from all walks of life have expressed their dissatisfaction with this, including within the military itself! Gao Yang also wants to change this situation. After all, using mercenaries as officers was a very effective way to improve combat effectiveness in the early stages, but now the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

  But Zhang Xinghai's previous performance made Gao Yang feel very disappointed. It also greatly reduced Gao Yang's expectations for other students!

  Zhang Xinghai is the top student in the college! He has been highly expected by President Brant of Education!

  He lit several cigarettes in a row but still couldn't make up his mind. Gao Yang got up impatiently and paced back and forth in the office.

  "What's holding you back?" Yuán diǎn asked aloud.

  "It's just a few months of school, they're too tender, I'm afraid they can't hold up!" Gao Yang said in a low voice.

  "You humans have a saying that goes 'without experiencing wind and rain, how can you see the rainbow?' What's the point of keeping them cooped up in school all the time? Sooner or later, they'll still have to be set free to fly." Yuan Dian said calmly.

  Gao Yang walked up to the desk and sat down sideways on the edge of it, his fingers lightly tapping on the desktop.

  Half a minute later, Gao Yang raised his head and said quietly, "Alright, these pains are inevitable!" His eyes turned serious as he sat back in his chair and signed off on Wekes' report.

  At the same time, all cadets at Anqing Military Academy were also required to graduate ahead of schedule and return to the army. Outstanding officers and soldiers who performed well in this Jiangsu-Zhejiang war were selected to go to military academies for further study!

  Before dinner, in the Sixth Division's barracks, various medals were being distributed from Feng County. Each soldier who participated in the battle received a Suzhou-Zhejiang Campaign Medal, made of pure copper, with the words "Suzhou-Zhejiang Campaign" on the front and the start and end times of the campaign on the back.

  All wounded soldiers received a Purple Heart medal, which is the name of Gongyang's direct copy of the US military's Purple Heart. Copper heart-shaped, gold-plated on the outside, with the recipient's name on the front and the battle participated in and the time of injury on the back, along with the phrase "Fought bravely!"

  Soldiers with combat achievements were awarded home versions of the Second and First Class Iron Cross in accordance with German Army tradition.

  The Purple Heart Medal and the Combat Action Ribbon were rushed out overnight by Fengxian Machinery Foundry, while the Iron Cross Medal had been manufactured beforehand. All medals were transported to Pukou by train, loaded onto warships, and then shipped all the way to Mogadishu.

  At the same time, notifications were also issued for those who had excelled in combat performance and made meritorious contributions during wartime to enter non-commissioned officer schools and military academies.

  Gao Yang was still in the office handling official business when Gao Feng knocked on the door and came in to report, "Sir, the matter of Lu Gongzi has been arranged."

  "Oh?" Gao Yang raised his head and asked softly "Did he agree?"

  "Yes, sir. Mr. Lu is willing to issue a statement announcing that he was tempted by the Japanese and collaborated with them, while also implicating Sun Chuanfang as an accomplice! Additionally, Mr. Lu expressed his guilt towards the people and wants to go abroad for inspection, and stated that he will not return again." Gaofeng reported back with a smile.

  Put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Gaoyang smiled and said, "Give me some more travel expenses, after all, you are my nephew."

  The citizens of the demon capital suddenly found that the newspaper boys had started distributing flyers everywhere when they got off work at night. "What's going on again?" Many people took over the flyer with this idea.

  "The Magnate of the Demon Capital, Huang Laoban, was executed by firing squad this afternoon by the Military Tribunal of the Sixth Division!" Below is a photo of Huang Laoban lying on the ground bleeding after his execution! The large headline makes people who see it tremble slightly.

  Old Master Huang! The Old Master Huang who could shake the entire city with a stomp of his foot! The Old Master Huang who dominated the city for decades! Is he really dead just like that?!

  Many people's first reaction upon seeing this news is disbelief! This is the inertia bred from living in Shanghai for a long time! Then people react, Sixth Division! High Supervising Army!

  Yes, in the Magic Capital, Huang Laoban who could turn his hand over to make clouds and cover his hand to make rain was nothing but a fart in front of Gao Dujun! What's the use of being so mighty if he still ended up like a stinky bug that got pinched to death?

  The vast majority of people were overjoyed and excited upon hearing the news! Except for one big evil! Many who had been persecuted by Huang's boss were crying silently. Finally, a great revenge has been avenged.

  Unlike ordinary citizens, the members of each gang were in a state of panic. Even the famous Huang boss was quietly taken out, what could these little rascals do? They didn't have to worry for long, as Gao Yang soon gave them a solution.

  That evening, after dinner, truckloads of fully armed soldiers surrounded all the gangster dens, casinos, brothels and opium dens in the Chinese quarter. The soldiers rushed in, grabbing everyone they saw, and shooting on the spot anyone who dared to resist! A massive anti-crime campaign had begun.

  Before the action began, the officers and men of the Sixth Division had already surrounded the police station and disarmed the local policemen. Gao Yang did not trust these policemen at all.

  His plan is to disband all the original police forces! Use soldiers who have retired due to injury or expiration of service to take over as police in Demon City. Thoroughly change the chaotic gray order of Demon City. Not just Demon City, but from now on, the public security forces of all cities will be handled this way.

  The entire operation was accompanied by all kinds of resistance. Some used knives, some used guns, and others used their fists. Most gang members did not wait to be captured but chose to resist!

  But these resistances all melted away like snow in the face of armed-to-the-teeth, well-trained regular armies.

  The action continued until the next morning. The tightly bound gang members were taken out of the city one car at a time. Waiting for them would be dark and dismal quarries, mines, construction sites, and gruel! The lucky gang members who escaped all fled into the concession area, frightened and unable to settle down. The entire Chinese quarter was completely cleaned up.

  Gao Yang returned to modern times after dinner. After calling his parents to report safety, he asked Stoke about the villa and then called Jin Yongnan to ask about Xiaoshuijing's itinerary.

  It was already after 8 pm by the time I finished the call. After drinking a cup of apple juice, I changed into a black short-sleeved T-shirt and light blue jeans, wearing white sports shoes and a JEEP hat before leaving the apartment to drive to KBS TV station on Yeouido Island, where Soo-young's group F(X) was performing at Music Bank.

  Gao Yang stopped at a parking lot not far from KBS TV station, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Xiao Jing. There was no response, probably because she was participating in the show. Then he called the manager of Pinkrose restaurant to get everything ready.

  After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang turned off the car lights and leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest. Today was almost all about dealing with work non-stop, thinking about all sorts of things. It was exhausting! His head hurt badly! Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep leaning on the seat.

  Gao Yang was woken up by his mobile phone ringing, rubbed his eyes and took out the phone to see that it was Xiao Jing. He glanced at the time on his phone and found that it was already past 10 o'clock!

  As soon as the phone connected, "OPPA!" came Little Crystal's cheerful voice.

  Gao Yang raised the corner of his mouth and a smile appeared on his face as he said in a soft voice, "Is it over?"

  "Ah! Oppa, where are you?" Little Crystal's words revealed a hint of joy and anticipation.

  "When you go out and walk to the left, there is a parking lot. The car is one you know." Gaoyang said with a light smile.

  "It's almost here!" Little Crystal hastily hung up the phone.

  Gaoyang looked at the hung-up phone with a helpless bitter smile. Xiaoshuijing was quiet and cold when dealing with unfamiliar people, not easy to get along with.

  However, she has a very lively side in her personality. But only to those close to her will it be revealed, she is a person who likes to stick with people close to her.

  Gao Yang turned on the car lights, resting his elbow on the door and propping up his chin, gazing at the scenery outside the window, quietly waiting. Before long, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled over in front of Gao Yang's car and came to a stop.

  The car door opened and Xiao Jing jumped out of the car and ran over quickly.

  Several members of FX on the bus looked at each other in dismay, and Soo-young had actually gotten into a strange man's car!

  Song Qian, as the team leader, asked the agent with her eyes, and the agent shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Don't mind." Song Qian and others were speechless at once. Their original agents and assistants had all been replaced.

  The current agent and assistant are very considerate of them, but after all, the time spent together is short and they are not familiar with each other. Song Qian and others did not continue to ask questions, but thought in their hearts that they would interrogate Xiaoshuijing well when she returned to the dormitory!

  Gao Yang opened the car door and let Xiao Shuijing get in. A faint fruity scent wafted into Gao Yang's nose, causing his heart to flutter slightly. He carefully examined the little Shuijing in front of him.

  She had just finished the announcement and was still wearing a white loose sweater, blue denim shorts, silver high-heeled sandals, and her hair dyed light red tied into a refreshing ponytail. Her face was painted with delicate makeup, beautiful willow eyebrows, and exquisite nose. Her lips, which emitted a moist luster, gave people a fresh and seductive feeling.

  "Gulp." Gaoyang stared intently, unaware that he had swallowed hard. Xiaoshuijing was about to say something with a smile, but she froze, and a blush rose to her cheeks. She slightly lowered her head, not daring to look at Gaoyang, but in her heart, there was a sweet feeling flowing through "I'm still quite charming!"

  Gao Yang lightly coughed to cover up his own embarrassment. He said in a low voice, "You're wearing so little, aren't you cold?" It was already almost October and the temperature had dropped significantly at night, especially after 10 pm.

  "Hehe, OPPA, I'm a female artist, after all! Anti-freezing is a must-have skill to cultivate!" Little Crystal smiled and coquettishly said to Gao Yang.
