Chapter 189: The Purpose of Peace
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
The telegram that gave up resistance was only a few hundred words, and the attitude of the southern government was explained in the most civilized way. They once again affirmed their commitment to the concept of international friendship and common prosperity, and hoped that their Japanese friends in Tohoku would be able to live in harmony with the local people.
In addition, at the end of the article, it was clearly pointed out that the governments and garrisons in the northeast were required to give up resistance and not retreat for the time being.
Since the war with the Japanese army in the northeast, the southern side has never allocated a penny of food and ammunition, and the reinforcements promised to Xie Yuru earlier have also been slow to act, coupled with the current friendly telegram, it is obvious that all the northeast garrisons are intentionally sacrificed.
As soon as the telegram came out, there was an uproar in all circles in China, and the main combatants even openly published an article in the newspaper attacking the southern government, claiming that the day when the southern government and the Japanese government would sign a treaty again was not far off, and that the entire northeast should become the property of the Japanese and Japanese at that time.
For the sake of their own selfish desires, politicians deceive themselves and disregard the lives of their soldiers and people.
Due to the malfunction of the telegraph, Xie Yuru and Huang Yanzhi did not receive the contents of the telegram immediately, and they sent people out to inquire about the news while repairing it in Tonghua, and by the time the team returned, it was already the fourth day after the telegram was made public.
Faced with such an order not to retreat for the time being and to give up resistance, Xie Tang refused to accept it. But he is here to support Huang Yanzhi, so how to choose, Huang Yanzhi's attitude is very important.
The cigarettes he carried with him had long been smoked, and Huang Yanzhi was holding a cigarette rolled by himself, and the tobacco leaves were still bought from his fellow villagers when he was passing by a certain place.
He smoked his cigarette silently one puff after another, and soon, the makeshift tent he and Xie had been shrouded in a faint smoke.
"I refuse to carry out such an order." Huang Yanzhi's negative anger, if he gives up resistance now, what is the difference between it and surrendering? How would he account to the sacrificed brothers?
Xie Yuru lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on a corner of the tent, "If we refuse to carry out the order, then the situation we will face in the future will be even worse than now." Not only are the Japanese army our enemies, but perhaps our troops who carry out orders will also become our enemies. ”
At that time, it will not only be material supplies, but once the south has signed some treaty with the Japanese, then what awaits them may be disobedience to military orders or even treason.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuru sneered, those who gave up resistance live in a safe zone high above, and all they have to do in the face of danger is to evacuate, and those who risk their lives like this and fight on the front line to protect the land and people may face the charge of treason.
It's like a big joke.
Huang Yanzhi threw the cigarette on the ground before burning his hand, and then he stood up and stepped on it fiercely, "Withdraw." From what I know of him, he doesn't take any risks. ”
Xie Yuru knew who he was in Huang Yanzhi's mouth, and he also knew that most of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Northeast were actually in the hands of Huang Yanzhi's father, so if the hundreds of thousands of people over there chose to give up resistance, it didn't matter how they chose the tens of thousands of people.
Continuing to resist by blindly choosing not to retreat is nothing more than creating unnecessary sacrifices.
"And what do you do?" He could choose to return to Zhili, after all, there was most of his troops there, but in the current situation, even if Huang Yanzhi chose to retreat, the first thing would be to fight with the large forces of the Northeast Army.
"I need to think about it."
On the night when Huang Yanzhi decided to think about it, the Japanese plane once again flew over Tonghua County, but this time it was not a gap bombing, but took advantage of the night to drop nearly 10,000 pieces of colorful propaganda paper.
His words are only hypocritical, and they all reveal the Japanese side's approval of the order of the southern authorities, as if only by following in the footsteps of the emperor can the common prosperity of Greater East Asia be realized.
In addition, at the end of the propaganda paper, the Japanese side announced that it would give all the troops stationed in Northeast China and the local governments five days to thoroughly implement the policy of abandoning resistance, and after five days, the Japanese army would fully take over the military and political administration of Harbin, Jilin, Shengjing, Jinzhou, and other important cities.
After the takeover, any form of resistance will be ruthlessly suppressed by the Japanese side.
Jinzhou Mansion and Zhili have a large border area, Xie Yuru frowned after seeing the propaganda paper, he never thought that those Japanese would be satisfied with the three northeastern provinces, according to the current situation, he really can't be dragged in the northeast, otherwise, when people start to do something to Zhili, he can't even respond at the fastest time.
The people who gave up the Northeast were not him or Huang Yanzhi, they also knew that there were many ordinary people living in this land, those people had been here for generations, with the blue sky on their heads and the black soil under their feet, although the winter was cold but the food was sufficient, although the location was remote, they were also happy and free.
Right now, after the retreat of the garrison, what kind of life awaits them, Xie Yuru can't imagine.
According to what Huang Yanzhi told him, the Japanese side had established the so-called "Ishii Force" in Northeast China earlier, claiming to study epidemic prevention diseases and drinking water purification to benefit the lives of the people in Northeast China, but in fact, this force was more often only used captured locals to conduct bacteriological experiments.
There are even more bored people, in order to verify the cold tolerance of the human body in cold weather, they put people wet and locked them outdoors at thirty or forty degrees, just to observe and record the death process and time of death.
Now, the people of Northeast China, who have nowhere to go here, will only face an even more terrible future.

When Qiao Minzhi received the order to implement the purpose of peace and avoid conflict and sent it to Xie's house, the whole person fell to the ground.
She grew up in the training camp since she was a child, and she knew very well what situation Xie Yuru would face after this order was issued. Giving up resistance may be left behind for thousands of years, and persisting in resistance is only a futile sacrifice.
He was just a reinforcement from the Huang family, and he paid too much for these other armies who did nothing but send telegrams of condolences. She felt a little wronged for Xie Yuru, this should not be the ending he got.
When the phone rang, Qiao Minzhi had been sitting on the ground for dozens of minutes, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing, and no one dared to go up to talk to her, let alone help her up.
The housekeeper trotted to connect the telephone in the living room, and let out a sigh of relief after hearing that it was Liao Wanyu on the other side, "Madam, it's Miss Liao Wanyu." ”
Qiao Minzhi didn't seem to hear it, her posture hadn't changed, and the housekeeper called out cautiously twice, and then she moved her head and stretched out her hand.
"Any news?"
Qiao Minzhi shook his head silently, and later probably remembered that the person on the other side of the phone couldn't see it, so he added "no".
The two ends of the phone were silent, and no one mentioned the message about giving up resistance, and after a few minutes, Liao Wanyu coughed lightly, "You have to take care of your body, I think...... He won't be back in a few days. ”
Qiao Minzhi blinked her eyes and didn't speak, and just when Liao Wanyu was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly spoke, "I've always liked you." ”
Liao Wanyu on the other end of the phone was silent, and the housekeeper standing next to Qiao Minzhi was very discerning and led the people in the room out.
"But it's more jealousy than hating you. When I married him, I was happy for a while. People, jealous of people's abilities, fortunate people's losses, I'm not afraid to admit it. Qiao Minzhi spoke slowly, as if every word was very draining of her strength, "But things are not like that, the longer it goes, the more I know that we can't be." ”
She laughed self-deprecatingly, "When I advised him not to go, you wanted to respect his choice. You see, we're completely different. ”
Liao Wanyu opened her mouth and chose to interrupt her, "If it weren't for Xie Xiao, have you ever thought about how you would live?" ”
"I didn't think about it. Because I always thought that I couldn't live without this person. ”
Liao Wanyu couldn't help frowning when she heard her words.
"But then I found out that it wasn't. Do you know? When I couldn't sleep last night, I was thinking about where I would go if he stayed in Tohoku and didn't come back. I was stunned when I had this thought, because in my consciousness, I didn't have to wait for him first, and secondly, I didn't want to be what I thought he would be, and if he wasn't there, I would die with him. ”
Qiao Minzhi's empty left hand grasped the phone body, and her fingertips turned white because of too much force, "Then I found out that he was no different from the toys I couldn't get when I was a child, and I didn't love him as much as I thought." ”
Liao Wanyu really didn't know what she should say, besides, she thought that Qiao Minzhi just wanted to say something unilaterally, and didn't really want her to have any response.
"So I thought, should I grow up? Although I always thought that I was already grown up when my dad died. But after all these things, I felt like I still didn't understand anything. Qiao Minzhi paused, "And the only thing I understand is that I don't want to face." ”
Liao Wanyu didn't understand what she was talking about, and she didn't dare to speculate, "Sometimes, it's not timid or courageous not to face it." ”
Qiao Minzhi on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard a joke, her voice reached Liao Wanyu's ears thousands of miles away, and her voice was a little distorted. When Qiao Minzhi had laughed enough and stopped, there were a few "stinging, stinging" noises on the phone, and after the noise passed, Liao Wanyu only heard the second half of her sentence.
She said, "...... See you, so, I hope you can come to Tianjin. ”
Liao Wanyu said "um" suspiciously, "The line was not good just now, I didn't hear it clearly." Can you say that again? ”
Qiao Minzhi chuckled lightly over the phone, followed by a long sigh, "It's nothing, I just hope you can come to Tianjin." Whether he can come back or not. ”
