Text Chapter 879 Yichang Retreat

"Brother Peng, you've been laughing all the way. Di Wei was speechless: "Are all people in love have negative IQs?"

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "You kid have an opinion, believe it or not, I'll throw you out!"

Di Wei hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Peng, you misunderstood, I am envious, I also want to have such a vigorous love." โ€

Xiao Peng glanced at him: "Count your kid talking quickly, otherwise I will really kick you out." โ€

After holding a big party for Emilia, Xiao Peng reluctantly said goodbye to her, and went to New York with Di Wei again.

Xiao Peng finally knew what 'Xiao Biesheng was newly married', and the two of them spent candles in the cave every nightใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ However, when the time came, he had to deliver a watch to Pattihurst, so Xiao Peng still separated from Emilia and came to Manhattan, New York, still staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and still staying in the presidential suite where he stayed last time.

Di Wei's eyes turned green when he first saw the decoration of the room here: "Brother Peng, I'm not dreaming, right?

Xiao Peng lit a cigar: "Di Wei, it's not for nothing that I took you to live here. You should know that I have an idea for the Star Country Market. Listen to Ah Can's meaning, in the future, the Star Kingdom will be handed over to you to be responsible, but you are young after all, and you are not yet determined, so I still don't feel at ease with you, but I believe in Ah Can's vision. โ€

Speaking of this, Xiao Peng took a puff of his cigar, looked at Di Wei and said: "I can't tell you how to do it right, everyone looks at things and deals with things differently, but I can show you what is the life of a successful person, if you also want this kind of life, then you have to do things seriously, you must always remember that you are no longer a little ruffian, now you are a boss, as long as you work hard, you will also get such a life." โ€

Di Wei nodded: "Brother Peng, please believe me, I will do a good job." โ€

Xiao Peng smiled: "Well, I believe in you." I'll go take a shower first, and you'll pick it up for me when dinner comes in a minute. โ€

"Okay. โ€

After Xiao Peng finished taking a bath, he saw Di Wei watching TV there: "Why don't you eat?"

Di Wei said: "Brother Peng, am I waiting for you to come along." โ€

Xiao Peng smiled: "Hurry up and eat, why do you look so energetic?"

"Oh, Christopher Nolan's film "Dunkirk", have you seen it?"

Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this: "I really haven't seen it, can Nolan make this kind of documentary movie?" But if he shoots, the movie picture will definitely be good-looking, and his control of color is absolutely first-class." โ€

Christopher Nolan, not very old, well, is a post-70s generation, this is young among directors, but he is definitely a famous director, what "Deadly Magic", "Inception", "Memory Fragments", "Batman" series of two films are all from him.

However, Nolan is better at the imaginative science fiction style, saying that he is a master of suspense, deconstruction, and time and space transformation, no one should refute it, but how will he shoot this kind of movie based on real history? Xiao Peng is also very interested. Eating dinner, I watched this movie with Di Wei.

I have to say that even if it is a war movie, it is very in Nolan's style, and there are very few lines in the whole movie

Less, similar to the style of silent films, shows a war drama in front of people's eyes.

Di Wei put aside the cutlery and commented: "The Dunkirk retreat is worthy of being a great miracle in the history of mankind! More than 300,000 people have been rescued in this way. โ€

Xiao Peng smiled: "It makes sense for Nolan to shoot the Dunkirk retreat, this should be the most suitable historical theme for him, because the Dunkirk retreat in history is also full of suspense." โ€

Di Wei looked at Xiao Peng in puzzlement.

Xiao Peng explained with a smile: "At that time, 400,000 Allied troops were surrounded in Dunkirk facing the sea, and the German army was less than 20 kilometers away from the Allied forces. But Hitler issued an order to which no one knows the answer, that is, to order the German army to stop the offensive and give Dunkirk time to retreat. โ€

"And miracles always follow, and then when the Luftwaffe wanted to bomb the Allies, the beaches of Dunkirk began to be foggy again, and the Air Force could not bomb them, and when the German Army attacked again, the Allies had already organized a defensive front, and 100,000 people defended the German army, and it was their sacrifice that allowed 330,000 Allied soldiers to evacuate, and finally more than 40,000 French soldiers who stayed behind. It can be said that it was the success of the Dunkirk evacuation that was bought with their lives. However, their sacrifice was also worth it, the 330,000 Allied soldiers who survived were the main force to resist Germany in the future, and without them, it was really difficult to say the direction of the war. This movie has a very strong Nolan style, brain-burning, it's really not good to watch it once, you need to watch it a few more times to understand. โ€

Di Wei sighed when he heard this: "330,000 people escaped like this. It's a miracle!"

Who knew that Xiao Peng said disdainfully: "What is this? You should know that your ancestors had an even more famous retreat in China, and that was an operation to save 1.5 million people! It was two years before the Dunkirk retreat! It's just that there is no famous Hollywood director to make a movie about him, so it is more storytelling." โ€

Di Wei was stunned: "Brother Peng, tell me about it, I was born in the Stars and Stripes Country, but since I last returned to Huaxia, I have become more and more interested in understanding Huaxia, after all, my roots are there." โ€

Xiao Peng took out a cigar and threw it to Di Wei, and lit one himself: "In 1938, during the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, there was a great retreat from Yichang, and a Chinese hero saved the fate of 1.5 million people and the fate of the whole of China!"

Di Wei's eyes widened: "So awesome? Why don't I know?"

Xiao Peng scolded with a smile: "You know a big banana, you know what a fart!" During the Anti-Japanese War, since the fall of Wuhan, the entire route to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was cut off, and Yichang, the gateway to Sichuan, became the next strategic target to be attacked, and the Yichang wharf that was piled up at that time contained more than 120,000 tons of commercial and military equipment, in addition to oil, government officials, skilled workers, college students, and refugees waiting to enter Sichuan. It almost concentrated the life of China's weapons industry, all kinds of machine industry, and light industry! It was the only remaining vitality in China at that time!"

"But so many people and materials are concentrated in Yichang, and it is impossible to transport them away! Because the Three Gorges channel is narrow, the water is shallow and the water is rapid, and at that time it was close to the dry season of the Yangtze River, and at most more than 40 days can allow slightly larger ships to be transported

Voyage. At that time, there were only about 20 small boats in Yichang, and if it was normal, it would take about a year to transport! Later, a Chinese man 'directed' the Chinese version of the Dunkirk retreat by himself. saved millions of people from fire and water, he is Lu Zuofu. โ€

Di Wei shook his head: "I haven't heard of this person." โ€

Xiao Peng smiled: "Don't talk about your big banana, many Chinese people don't know this name." However, this person is really important to Huaxia, and even when the chairman talked about Huaxia's national industry, he said that 'the four industrialists in Huaxia must not forget, the heavy industry must not forget Zhang Zhidong, the textile industry must not forget Zhang Jian, the chemical industry must not forget Fan Xudong, and the transportation industry must not forget Lu Zuofu', which is what he is talking about. โ€

"This person is so powerful? Brother Peng, tell me about him. Di Wei was also interested.

Xiao Peng said: "Lu Zuofu worked as a reporter, as the editor-in-chief of the "Sichuan Daily", at the age of 32 he devoted himself to the industry, prepared the 'Minsheng Company' industry to save the country, relying on the support of friends and fellow villagers, borrowed money to buy a small passenger ship, devoted himself to the transportation industry, just a few years, the entire shipping industry in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River let him integrate, and drove all foreign shipping companies out of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River! And the Minsheng Company, from the earliest small boat small company, has become a large company with 46 ships of all kinds! When Wuhan was lost, Lu Zuofu personally arrived in Yichang and personally commanded the transportation of materials into Sichuan. โ€

"In less than 40 days, Lu Zuofu transported 1.5 million people to Sichuan! 1 million tons of goods! The military equipment rushed to transport only 14 mills including the Nanchang Aircraft Factory and the Jinling Arsenal! It also included a large amount of other industrial equipment and various state materials. And these materials soon built all kinds of iron and steel factories and arsenals in the rear to be used in the war of resistance! And the students of Fudan University, Central University, Jinling University, Wuhan University, Shandong University, and dozens of other schools were all sent to Sichuan by him!"

"And in the whole process of transportation of the great retreat, Minsheng Company itself also suffered huge losses and made great sacrifices, in this transportation process, 116 people were sacrificed, 61 people were disabled, and 16 ships were damaged and sunk. As for the factories, warehouses, machinery and equipment, docks, and the like that were blown up by enemy planes, there are countless of them. And it was he who made these sacrifices and completed the great retreat feat, which preserved the lifeblood of Huaxia industry, laid the foundation for the construction of the rear, and played an extremely important role in China's counteroffensive and the final victory of the resistance against Zhang. โ€

After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he took a puff of cigarette: "Do you think it is Dunkirk or Yichang retreat now?" Don't always look at those things outside, our Huaxia is not worse than anyone elseใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ โ€

Di Wei said stupidly: "Uh, for me, Huaxia is the outside, right?"

Uh, Xiao Peng choked after listening to Di Wei's words, he was really right when he said this, he is a national of the Stars and Stripes Country, and naturally Huaxia is a 'foreign country'.

So Xiao Peng decided to reason with him------ directly raised his hand and slapped Di Wei on the head:

"I'll let you keep your mouth shut!" (https:)
