After Lin Rui and Lin Feng chased out of the gate of St. John's University, the parade students had already rushed to the streets, pulled up banners, and held slogans along the street toward the Shanghai Municipal Government at that time.

The reason why Lin Rui wanted to participate in this parade was because he understood that at this time, due to the tenacious resistance of the 29th Army, the cunning Japanese adopted the tactic of fighting and peaceful delay, thus mobilizing troops to gain time and opportunities for them, so China and Japan have not yet completely broken up on the surface.

Therefore, in order to avoid diplomatic troubles, the Shanghai Municipal Government will definitely send military police and police to surround and intercept and dissuade this petition.

Lin Rui was worried that when students confronted the military police, some traitors who were bribed by the Japanese, or Japanese spies lurking in Shanghai would take the opportunity to be detrimental to these marching students.

For example, assassination attacks caused these students to clash with the military police, thus creating chaos.

After all, Japanese imperialism had decided to formally invade China at that time, and had dispatched troops from their country to reinforce its troops in North China.

Secondly, when he met the parade at school, he found that Shangguan Nianci and Li Muxue were also there, although he couldn't have any good feelings for Li Muxue.

But Shangguan Nianci saved her life after all, so it is impossible for Lin Rui to watch the wall knowing that she might encounter danger.

What's more, these young students are all a group of passionate patriotic young people with ambition to save the country and the people. They know that they can't persuade them.

Lin Rui, who is more patriotic, cannot ignore it. He has a gun in his hand, has a lot of kung fu and rich combat experience. Although he may not be able to save everyone, he can save one.

Besides, if you really encounter Japanese and puppet traitors, Lin Rui will practice his skills with them and be able to kill one.

Therefore, Lin Rui's participation in the parade was not because of a fever or impulse.

He himself was a patriotic soldier with a firm belief. He traveled through this era of War of Resistance and knew the Japanese ambitions well, so he naturally would not continue to slander the Japanese as some of the powers in the National Government.

Moreover, no Chinese in the 21st century should forget how much trauma the war invasion of China caused to the Chinese nation.

The 300,000 compatriots who died unjustly in the Nanjing Massacre will make every patriotic soldier hate the Japanese to the core, and Lin Rui is one of the best.

Therefore, Lin Rui will not miss any chance to kill the Japanese, nor will he miss any Japanese soldier he met.

The parade followed Changning Road and headed towards Wujiaochang, the then municipal government location.

Since the city of Shanghai was divided and occupied by Western powers at that time, the Shanghai Municipal Government had no say at all. Therefore, the mayor of Shanghai Zhang Qun presided over the construction of the municipal government building in Wujiaochang in the northwest corner.

Changning Road is not close to Wujiaochang, and with so many people marching, the road caused many people to stop and watch, and the vehicles were blocked, so it took about half an hour to walk, and only half of it was left.

At the same time, the mayor's office of the Shanghai Municipal Government Building.

Yu Hongjun, the mayor of Shanghai, was working. A secretary knocked in from outside and walked to his desk quickly, lowered his head slightly and said in a hurry: "Mayor Yu, it's not good. Thousands of students from three universities including St. John, Fudan, Tongji, and many workers and citizens formed several parades.

They were rushing towards the municipal government, saying that they wanted to petition the municipal government and ask the government to send troops to fight against Japan!"

Yu Hongjun was shocked when he heard this and stood up suddenly and said, "What? Why are these students making trouble? The Japanese have already started a war in North China, and war has been ignited by Lugou Bridge and even the entire Peking. The war is very close to us. They are not at ease to study, so why are they coming to make trouble?"

Yu Hongjun was really afraid of this group of students, because at that time, since the September 18th Incident and the four northeastern provinces were lost, these progressive students and intellectuals came to march and petition every now and then, and could not do anything to them in order to take into account the overall situation.

His predecessor, Mr. Zhang Qun, had dealt with a group of students, causing some casualties, and later was forced to resign under pressure.

So, when I heard that the students were out to march again, I was so worried about Yu Hongjun, the financial elite who came from St. John.

Seeing this, the secretary immediately asked for instructions: "Mayor, why don't we transfer the military police to suppress it?"

When Yu Hongjun heard this, he glared at him and scolded him seriously: "No, let alone these students are the future of the country. Among them, St. John's University is also my alma mater. How can we mobilize troops to suppress them?"

"What should I do?" The secretary lowered his head in panic.

Yu Hongjun pondered: "Let's do this, and I will organize a group of military police to maintain order. I will go to the square in front of the municipal government building and personally appease them.

After all, they are also a group of patriotic young people who care about their family and country. Now the ambitions of the Japanese are clear. The War of Resistance Against Japan will definitely break out in full swing. We cannot do things that make our relatives feel sad and our enemies happy. That will be a bad thing for thousands of years!

In addition, you should report this matter to Nanjing immediately, remember that the military police will not be allowed to attack the students."

"Yes." The secretary lowered his head and turned around and took the order to leave.

When Lin Rui followed St. John's parade and was about to arrive at Wujiaochang where the city government was located, several groups of parades like them suddenly came out of the nearby streets, including students, workers and some citizens.

Several parades gathered together, and the number of people was over 10,000, and it was still increasing.

The students shouted slogans to the end of the War of Resistance, held up banners and slogans, and moved forward.

Lin Rui understood that this situation was no longer controlled by his personal ability, so in order to protect St. John's classmates as much as possible, he led Lin Feng to follow St. John's parade closely.

And whenever they have the chance, they will move forward, because Shangguan Nianci and his representatives are at the front of the team, and if there are Japanese spies or traitors who want to make trouble, they will also take action in front.

Because the front faces the gendarmerie police who come to maintain order, conflicts are most likely to break out.

After a while, a large number of military police officers came quickly from the roads on both sides of the municipal government building, and soon lined up in a row to block the march.

A middle-aged man who looked like a military police captain stood up and shouted to the students and the crowd in a deep voice: "Students, compatriots, Wang Huming, the captain of the military police brigade of the municipal government, came to maintain order under the order of Mayor Yu Hongjun.

Please don’t be impulsive. Mayor Yu Hongjun will come out to see everyone later. You can tell the mayor any requests you have."
