Chapter 2, Reasons

With Dabo's narration, Gao Hongming finally understood that his deceased cheap father, upon learning that his son was preparing to graduate and return home, was afraid that he would revert to his former wayward temperament, and thus took it upon himself to arrange a marriage for him

Moreover, the reason he took the newly formed militia to the outskirts for military training is likely also influenced by his newlywed wife.

What is this? Are we going to resist the Japanese with a system? I've been wearing it for almost five years, and only now do I realize that this thing is actually an arms store, where one can freely purchase all military supplies from the World War II era!

Isn't this nonsense? Hurry up and tell me about my background!" Gao Hongming felt a wave of annoyance. Although he did not know the previous owner of this body, the fact that there were still servants around suggested that the origin of this body was likely not simple.

In his view, it would be better to leave such a challenging task as fighting the Japanese devils to the revolutionary martyrs, as it seems too much to ask of an ordinary youth like him, who has hardly touched a gun, to undertake such a difficult endeavor

He struggled to recall for a long time, attempting to extract the memories of this body, but he had no clues whatsoever

Accompanied by Gao Hongming's shout, Dabaos charged in like a bear, crashing through the two seemingly sturdy doors, which were flung open to the sides with a dull thud.

Gao Hongming nodded at all the thoughts and casually asked, "By the way, Daba, where is that Doctor Xie from? Is he married?"

But now it is different; he wants to personally experience this part of history. One may ask, how can he not feel nervous? How can the pressure not be great?

The Gao family in Liantai County can be considered a prominent household, possessing power and influence, and they even have dozens of guards and more than twenty firearms at home

Ten minutes later

Thinking of this, Gao Hongming sighed and said, "Dabao, why are you crying? I am still alive, aren't I? It's just amnesia, right? Just tell me again, isn't that enough? Is it really necessary for you to cry so bitterly?"

Just yesterday, he was merely a carefree young man in modern society, but now he must bear the heavy burden of pressure

It is easy to assemble a team, but the issue of weapons is a significant problem. As a powerless and insignificant landlord, how can you easily acquire several hundred guns at once

Upon returning home and learning this news, the young master of the Gao family was momentarily taken aback. He had never expected that his father would act so decisively. However, the rice had already been cooked, and even if he wanted to backtrack, it was no longer possible. He could only resign himself to the situation.

Young master, it is like this...

A flash of lightning crossed Qian Hongming's mind

Oh ... ... wait a moment ... ...

However, he did not feel pleased with this outcome. While others traverse to different worlds or travel back ten or eight years in time, leveraging their foresight to dominate and enjoy a life of luxury, he found himself transported to the wartime period over eighty years ago.

Just as Gao Hongming was staring blankly at his watch, the surface, which had originally become yellowed and blurred due to the passage of time, began to change, surprisingly becoming smooth and pristine, as if it were newly manufactured

What... do I have a wife already?

Upon seeing Gao Hongming's appearance, Dabaos slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory; I just forgot to mention to you..."

In this way, Gao Hongming spent more than ten years establishing a considerable reputation in Wutai, while Dabaos was an orphan adopted by the Gao family from a young age, growing up alongside Gao Hongming, and remained loyal to both him and the Gao family.

After listening to Gao Hongming's words, Dabaolooked at him in astonishment: "Young Master, it seems that you truly have lost your mind, even your temperament has changed somewhat."

After letting out a long sigh, Gao Hongming felt somewhat mentally exhausted by the events of today, while a sense of helplessness surged within him

The torrent of information is quite overwhelming, leaving Gao Hongming with a throbbing headache as he tries to regain his composure

Half an hour later, Gao Hongming, still looking somewhat dazed, glanced at the watch on his wrist and then at the moon outside the window, his entire demeanor appearing wooden.

Alright, I understand. You may leave now

Although Gao Hongming is not a second-generation official or a wealthy heir in modern society, he at least owns two apartments in the city and has a seven-figure bank balance, along with a beautiful girlfriend he just started dating. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to live a carefree life. How did it happen that after getting drunk at a bar with friends, he woke up to find himself in this situation

In order to acquire weapons, the young master of the Gao family was so anxious that he became agitated, reaching out to contacts to purchase arms. A couple of days ago, he finally managed to get in touch with an arms dealer, who mentioned that there was a batch of weapons available for sale

I see...

The yellowed mirror, the aged frame, and the brown synthetic leather strap all indicate that this watch is the old antique that accompanied him throughout his four years of university life

Just as I returned home, I received the shocking news that Master Gao had been killed by a patrol of Japanese soldiers while he was out collecting rent a few days ago. Several guards from the Gao family fought valiantly to resist, and it was only then that they managed to retrieve Master Gao's body.

At this moment, he was wearing a watch on his wrist, which was adorned with a picture.

Moreover, in a most extraordinary turn of events, in order to prevent his son from opposing the marriage, Old Master Gao actually had the bride hold a rooster inscribed with the birth date and time of the Gao family's young master, and under the witness of neighbors and friends, they performed the wedding ceremony. According to local customs, this meant that the couple was officially engaged.

Just as Gao Hongming was intently examining his watch, a surge of inexplicable information suddenly transmitted from the watch into his mind

Gao Hongming understood after hearing this that the previous owner of this body indeed shared the same name and surname as stated on the diploma, was twenty-five years old this year, hailed from Lian Tai County in Shanxi, and came from a genuinely wealthy family

Dabao hesitated for half a day before awkwardly saying, "Young Master, I know you like Doctor Xie, but don't forget, you are a married man, and the Young Mistress is such a good person. You cannot divorce the Young Mistress just for Doctor Xie!"

Driven by provocation, the young master of the Gao family disregarded the advice of those around him and, within a short span of half a month, assembled a group of over 300 people, publicly branding it as the Lian Tai County Militia.

I never expected that this watch, which is said to have been passed down from my grandfather, would also have traveled through time to this era. Wasn't it agreed that only the soul would transmigrate? How did this thing come along?

After carefully examining the prices of the supplies, Gao Hongming stroked his soft short beard and fell into deep thought, with only one question in his mind: where will the money come from

In the past, when he read about the history of the War of Resistance, he may have felt admiration for those predecessors who fought bravely, and he was also moved by the warriors who continued to resist fiercely under such harsh conditions. However, for him, born in the 1990s, it was merely a segment of history.

Young Master Gao, without any suspicion, gathered a sum of money with the help of the library and set off with Daba and over twenty militia soldiers. However, he did not anticipate that it was a trap set by the other party. As soon as they arrived at the agreed trading location, they were ambushed by the enemy. Young Master Gao was injured on the spot, and if it had not been for Daba and the militia soldiers fighting desperately to rescue him, he would have likely perished.

Upon receiving the tragic news, Gao Hongming felt as if struck by lightning, and he immediately vowed to stand against the Japanese invaders to the end

What is going on with this

He had been thinking until his head felt heavy, and a wave of drowsiness washed over him. Habitually, he raised his left hand to look at his wrist, and then he froze in place.

Upon hearing this, Gao Hongming had a general understanding of the basic condition of his body

Gao Hongming then recalled a very important question: "By the way, Daba, where are we now?"

After half a day, there was still no response from Daba, and he frowned, "Daba, I am asking you a question."

Young Master, we are currently in Xiaocao Village on the outskirts of the county. Did you not say that practicing the militia in the city would attract too much attention, making it easy to draw the notice of the Jin-Sui Army and the Japanese? That is why the training location was set here

Great Treasure ... ... Great Treasure ... ...

In simple terms, it is the character of a spoiled child, who is impatient, impulsive, and often engages in somewhat juvenile behavior; otherwise, they would not so easily trust others

Young master, what has happened

In the vast expanse of land owned by the Gao family, he was the only seedling. Gao Hongming's mother passed away shortly after giving birth to him. His father, the old master of the Gao family, cherished him immensely from a young age, saying that it would be a light matter to say he was treated as if he were to be melted if held in the mouth.

At a loss for words to describe his current feelings, Gao Hongming weakly waved his hand. Seeing this, Dabaoy understood and quietly withdrew.

Dabao wiped away his tears before slowly revealing his identity

Later, Master Gao realized that if his precious son continued down this path, he would likely be ruined. After much contemplation, he sent him three years ago to a normal school in another region to study, and it was only this year that he graduated and returned home

Well, even in the 1940s, watches were not a rare item, but this watch is different. It was given to Gao Hongming by his father, who had worn a Shanghai brand watch for decades, when he went to university.

Well, this is not the main point; the main point is that all of this requires money to purchase

However, Gao Hongming's greatest strength is his ability to let go. According to the law of time travel, ninety-nine percent of people who travel through time are unable to return. Since that is the case, it is pointless to be sad; it is better to focus on the present.

With the power of the Gao family, Gao Hongming developed a debauched character. Although he did not engage in bullying or oppressing others, he often enjoyed roaming around the village with a group of unruly friends, occasionally teasing young women. However, despite his wayward behavior, Gao Hongming was not beyond redemption, as he never forced anyone against their will, earning him the nickname "the one who does not impose on others".

Looking at the wide-eyed Da Bao, who was frightened, Gao Hongming couldn't help but curl his lips in helplessness. He was now quite certain that he had become one of the many members of the time-traveling army, and he had even crossed over into the body of a young man with the same name.

The wife at home, whom he has yet to meet, along with the eldest child and the servants who depend on him for their livelihood, as well as the newly recruited several hundred soldiers from the militia, all of their food, drink, and daily needs rest upon his shoulders

However, it is precisely because Young Master Gao was injured that Gao Hongming's time travel occurred
