Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 13: Conquering Kyoto

………Here is a spoiler: she will be a very important person to the male protagonist. She is deliberately set to be older than the male protagonist for the sake of the later plot…………

His niece received a very good education since childhood, and hired the best tutors for both Chinese and Western education.

Perhaps influenced by her family, although she read a lot of books, she was very much looking forward to military life.

However, due to the social atmosphere at the time, neither military academies nor military camps accepted female soldiers.

If her family agreed, with her family's influence, they could send her to military school, but her family was strongly opposed.

What people didn't expect was that Zheng Lan secretly joined the Gray Society. When her family found out, it was too late. The only thing she was thankful for was that she joined the Gray Society in 1945 when she was 15 years old. At that time, the White Party had already surrendered, and most of the world was controlled by the White Party, so there was no danger.

I would like to explain here that according to the social atmosphere at that time, it was normal to start working at the age of 15. There were also many girls who got married at the age of or , especially in rural areas.

The prevailing trend at that time was that women were money-losing goods, and rather than keeping them at home for a long time and wasting food, it was better to marry them off early, which could be exchanged for a certain amount of dowry.

In fact, Zheng Lan was in junior high school at the time and was about to graduate. Influenced by the patriotic consciousness of the whole country celebrating the surrender of the Japanese, she yearned for a military career even more, so she resolutely gave up her studies and joined the Gray Society training class.

In the end, the Zheng family had no choice but to use their connections to transfer her to work in Shanghai, where the conditions were better and the economy was the most developed.

Because she was born in a military family, she paid great attention to physical exercise. In addition, she studied hard and ranked among the top in all kinds of skills in the Gray Society training class.

If it weren't for her family's great influence, she might have been taken away by a big boss before graduation to work as a personal secretary and bodyguard. Therefore, during her time working in the Gray Society of Magic City, she was able to capture spies and saboteurs left in the notebook many times. She was promoted to the rank of captain for her merits and served as the leader of an action team.

You can refer to her appearance and temperament, and delete the sinister and vicious temperament of Wang Manchun in spy dramas.

Zheng Lan was nicknamed "White Tiger Star" by her enemies and colleagues because of her decisive and tough style of doing things. Of course, this was also because she had a powerful background and no one dared to offend her.

It was during her work in Shanghai that Zheng Lan came into contact with the advanced ideas of the Red Party and saw through the corruption within the White Party, so she became a double agent.

In short, with the efforts of many parties, the uprising in Kyoto went smoothly, allowing the Red Party to peacefully recapture Kyoto and ensure the inheritance of important historical relics and culture.

However, during the uprising, some accidents occurred, including Zheng Lan, the niece of General Zheng. In order to paralyze the members of the Gray Society and protect the safety of General Zheng's family, the Gray Society captured her and secretly transported her to the Nandu headquarters for detention.

Fortunately, General Zheng's colleagues, out of their years of friendship, took good care of Zheng Lan while she was in custody, so she was not abused, but her personal freedom was restricted.

She was not released until the White Party retreated from Taiwan. After many twists and turns, she first went to Taiwan, then to Hong Kong Island, and finally to Eagle Island. It was not until 1957 that she returned to the capital of Dragon Country through political means thanks to the efforts of her family and the country.

There will be more stories about her later. Please look forward to it.

The author has a few words to say. In this book, the author will not write our protagonist as a stud or a harem, but he will have two or three close friends. The author will design his private life to be as reasonable and happy as possible, and there will be no brainless and cool writing. At present, the author has a good idea, so please look forward to it.
