After the award, Chairman Jiang and his wife invited Zhou Tao and Zhou Min to a family banquet. Zhou Tao is grateful, an officer in a position like him can definitely let the head of state invite guests to dinner. And Zhou Min was uncomfortable eating. During the meal, Chairman Jiang also revealed a bombshell news, which also made Zhou Min understand why there was such a meal. Because their brother and sister's rich father donated a large amount of money to the national government, Zhou Min roughly calculated that the money was enough to equip a division.

No matter what era it is, it's good to have money.

After eating, the two returned to the resting place, and Zhou Min felt that it was time to talk to Zhou Tao. Zhou Tao's performance today gave Zhou Min a sense of crisis, and her brother was very loyal to the Kuomintang.

"Brother, let's go out for a walk, I have something to say to you. ”

"Okay, I have something to say to you."

The brother and sister walked out of the room and chatted as they walked in the courtyard.

"Minmin, after today, you will be completely famous, the chairman of the committee personally awarded the medal, and also awarded you the rank of major, I don't know how many people are red-eyed, and the Japanese have to kill you, promise my brother, don't take risks in the future, go to Macau." ”

"Brother, it's not been a day or two that the Japanese want to kill me, and besides, what if I go to Macau and bring danger to my parents, I think you should send more people to Macao to protect them, I'm worried that the Japanese will jump over the wall and hurt them. ”

"Don't worry, Minmin, there is more power to protect your parents than you think, I don't know if there are people from our Zhou family, as well as those I sent, and Uncle Dai's people. ”

"The people of the military commanders, are they reliable?"

"Don't worry, it was the chairman who asked to send it. ”

"Brother, don't you think that our family and the Kuomintang have withdrawn too deeply?"

"Minmin, why do you say that you and I are both Kuomintang officers, my father is a veteran of the League, and besides, I am just a pure soldier and not involved in partisanship. ”

"Brother, I'm worried that I won't be able to help myself when the time comes, in Chairman Chiang's heart, the biggest enemy is not the Japanese, it's the Communist Party, and our family and the Communist Party are also a little unclear, I'm worried that we will be used as guns in the end. ”

"My good sister, it's really a little ghost, and she thinks a lot, don't worry, my brother knows it in his heart, and he won't be easily used. ”

Zhou Min was speechless about Zhou Tao's perfunctory, and she felt that she had to clarify the importance of staying away from the Kuomintang.

"Brother, let's change the topic, do you think the War of Resistance can be won?"

"Of course, Japan is a small country after all, and now the whole country is mobilized, and the whole people are thrown into the war, but as for those people, they are now mired in the quagmire of war, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated. ”

"So, brother, what do you think China will become after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression? Will it become a warlord melee in the past, a confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, or a peaceful state?"

"This ..... Maybe a civil war will break out. ”

"Then who do you think the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can win?"

"It doesn't matter who wins, the important thing is that the elder brother is a soldier, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. ”

"My brother, don't you answer so officially, if a civil war really breaks out, I believe that the Kuomintang will be defeated, the Communist Party will win, we must prepare in advance, even if we are not on the side of the winner, at least we must stay out of the matter, our family can go to the United States, go anywhere, and stay away from this place. ”

Seeing that Zhou Min said so surely, Zhou Tao was a little surprised. He came out of Whampoa, and he had deep feelings for Mr. Zhongshan's Three People's Doctrine, the Kuomintang, and the National Revolutionary Army. He didn't understand why Zhou Min was talking to the Communist Party inside and out.

"Minmin, I know that you have stayed in the base area of the Eighth Route Army and have a certain understanding of them, but the disparity in strength between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, whether it is the number of troops, weapons and equipment, or economic strength, is too large, how do you think that the Communist Party will win in the end?"

Zhou Tao is also a young man Zhou Min has seen, but he didn't expect him to think this way, maybe only in that era can he feel the situation and difficulties of the Communist Party at that time. Most people are still more optimistic about the "orthodox" allergy government.

"Brother, the Communist Eighth Route Army they are indeed backward and poor, but they have the same, the Kuomintang does not, they have the will of the people, and the will of the people is the force of the revolution, although it is now the Republic of China, the basis of the rule is these emerging bourgeoisie, but now China, not thousands of years of China is a country with the vast majority of peasants, who can get the support of the peasants, who can lead the country, the Communist Party fights local tyrants in the base areas and divides the land, they sympathize with the peasants and get their support, which is also the basis for their survival under the sweep of the Japanese devils again and again。 You are looking at the Kuomintang, they are still exploiting the peasants, the nation, the people's rights, the people's livelihood, the Three People's Principles, the good equal land rights, and the control of capital, but have you seen that the Nationalist Government has fulfilled its promises?"

Zhou Min's words made Zhou Tao fall into deep thought, he frowned, walked to the bench in the cloister and sat down and said: "Minmin, what you said has some truth, but backwardness cannot be made up for by numbers, no matter how many peasants don't have to be armed and equipped to become soldiers, besides, even if what you say is right, we can't take off our military uniforms and go to Yan'an now." ”

"I'm not saying that we will defect to Yan'an, but that the heart of defense is indispensable, what you are now mastering is the elite of the elite, using the best equipment, although it is a brigade, but the combat effectiveness has caught up with a division, I am just worried that Lao Jiang will send your troops to 'Qing Communist' in order to draw a clear line between the Zhou family and the Communist Party, my stupid brother, what will you do then?"

"It's not big, it's not small, it's still old Jiang, stupid brother. Zhou Tao listened to Zhou Min's disrespectful remarks, and played her brain.

"My brother, our dad is a cash cow, look at it, this has donated so much money, who is willing to let go, and I have a good relationship with the Communist Party, from Qinghe to Shanghai, they are helping, do you say that Chongqing can have no mustard?"

"Minmin, don't worry, I'll pay attention. ”

Zhou Tao touched Zhou Min's head and said with a smile.

Regarding Zhou Tao's uprightness and lack of oil and salt, Zhou Min really didn't know what to say. If there really is such a day, send Zhou Tao to suppress the Communist Party, what can I do, isn't this knowing the fire pit, and still jumping!

"By the way, a few days ago, I sent a telegram to my mother, and my mother asked me to tell you that she misses you and asks you when you will get married, and she needs a grandson to pass the time. ”

"Passing the time?" Zhou Tao was speechless.

"No, I said it wrong, it's a shared family, brother, you are now the fifth diamond king, a golden bachelor, there should be a lot of people sent to the door, do you have a fancy for it?"

"If you don't die, how can you be home!" Zhou Tao looked at the sky and sighed, leaving Zhou Min with a handsome back and leaving.
