After April 26, 1942, no one could give such orders to a sovereign state, as was often the case in the past. But it was the practice of his enemies, and could humans be so forgetful? ”

Li Guangyuan understood that the past was over, and he read that guy's speech slowly and word by word without interruption.

The guy instigated: "We cannot tolerate a slight advantage in strength. From my contacts with those people, I believe that they are first of all pleased with strength, and that mutual relations with them depend on all English-speaking countries and all relations. ”

He understands that Yan'an will not be silent. Obviously, the reply will be intense, the guy knows what to do, he has figured out the character of the number one chief. It appears that he had carefully estimated the possible objections before taking action. Just a year ago, he was on an equal footing with this man, who had been part of the Triangle, and they were sitting together in a meeting with another big man by his side.

On this day in March 1942, Li Guangyuan, who had just thrown away his crutches, was walking in the city. He understood that returning to his homeland was now a problem he had never imagined.

At that time, on a rainy day in the spring of 1943, he had a terrible feeling of desperation: he was assuming, contrary to the ideals to which he had devoted his whole life, that the far-right forces attacking the homeland were making a statement, and he understood that a very important intelligence chief, who had fled from his home during the manhunt, was a man of extreme hatred of communism, who would not resign himself to his defeat and reunited in the park. Li Guangyuan understood that those who openly bowed to Wang's subordinates might show up and announce this powerful plan that the motherland could not accept. This man was regarded as a hateful enemy by Wang Wei, and he made his own contribution to defeating him. For Li Guangyuan, this is very humiliating and bitter. He counted out 10 copper plates from the change he had saved, walked into a restaurant not far from the embassy, ordered a bowl of ouzo, and drank it all in one go. Drunk, he struggled back to the boarding house eight months earlier where he had been accommodated. He felt cold in his heart, and he remained motionless, as if he felt the pain of the bullet in his chest and abdomen on May 1

"Are you leaving?" The man asked.

"Of course."

"Am I fast?" The guy continued: "I can walk some. ”

"Well," said Mr. Li, "it's better to be slower." ”

Intense sunlight pierced through the insulated fixed wooden shutters, and the yellow light pierced the darkness of the room, like the inner nature of a mirror, always a cold reflection of the rigidity of reality.

Chang watched for a long time as the light moved slowly, almost imperceptibly, but at the same time inexorably, through the room. There was a huge mahogany table leaning against a gray marble fireplace, and shelves full of books.

He unhurriedly got up from the wide, low couch, enjoying the silence feebly. Hearing the cuckoo call on the Bavarian alarm clock, Chang Kaishen smiled slightly (this was originally a gift from the local magistrate, and he sent him here as early as 1937 to bring it out of the country and enter here. The cuckoo is cheerfully announcing that time is passing.

After Chang Kaishen arrived here, he climbed onto the riverbank, silently shook hands with his companions, and then got into the car waiting for him. The car took him to a hidden manor in a mountain col on Hainan Island. At first, Chang Kaishen couldn't sleep; He slept for an hour or two in a daze. After that, I picked up and drank a strong glass of local fruit wine. There is a lot of wine, all made by the local Li people in Hainan, and the huge cellar of this three-storey villa is full of wine bottles.

He was constantly nervous because the road was only two kilometers away from his house. Inside, he was accustomed to walls and sentinels, but there was none, a feeling of unprotection. Chang Kaishen often waited for some uniformed people to arrive and asked, "Where is the war criminal Chang Kaishen hiding?" "Even though he holds a passport of a Singapore citizen, even though his trusted contacts have convinced him that there is no danger here. The people here are absolutely friendly, although there are still many people who are tracking him down, forcing his country to issue an arrest warrant against him. Chang Kaishen was restless. When he lay down to sleep, he hid his pistol and grenades under his pillow, but still could not sleep. He listened carefully to the roar of cars passing in the distance.

"Hey," he said at last, "you've dragged me off for too long to send me to the mainland." I understand that people are preparing for action in as much detail as possible, why don't you send me to a place where cars can't pass like a complete madman who can't do anything.

"Oops, old leader." His subordinates smiled slightly, "Rest quietly (the subordinates never mention Chang Kaishen's former name or surname, nor mention the official positions he has heard of in recent years.) The title of "detachment leader" is no longer needed. Sometimes I feel that I am missing some clothing, or I don't have a tie; or you can't wear socks), we love you," the subordinate continued, "to avoid taking unpredictable risks, which are essential reconnaissance in such situations. In this way, we will disperse the most esteemed guests to various places, and the leaders, mid-level and rank-and-file staff must be distributed strictly proportionately. After that, we think it is necessary to take time for you to have a physical examination, if there is no good medical facility in the place where you are going, it is necessary to have a fluoroscopy, a careful analysis and a good consultation with the doctor? The burden of the last few months will not have an immediate effect, you may have a heart attack, I assume that your blood pressure will change dramatically, all of this is best concentrated here, not far from the center, to familiarize yourself with your new name, to learn the local dialect. I recommend to you two of my young friends, who are completely at your disposal, sleeping, swimming, walking, I would never have dared to say such a thing if I were not convinced that you were absolutely safe. ”

In recent years, Chang Kaishen has become accustomed to the absolute execution of all his orders, learned to find in the eyes of those around him to satisfy any of his strange desires, and firmly believes that only he knows how to act in different situations. Chang Kaishen was very sensitive to his new status, and he had to wait for an order from someone unknown to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner on time, and at the same time he had to talk to his master and the two "teachers" who were also noble guards at the table when the gong sounded loudly on the palm tree in the small courtyard. They were attentive, very attentive, and taciturn, but they did not have the servility that Chang Kaishen loved in his heart, which was manifested in the people who kept him safe at home, cooked for him, cleaned up his house, and drove his car. People get used to it very quickly, but it takes a long time to forget it.

"What is another continent," Chang Kaishen looked at the two silent strong men, and thought heavily, "What does it mean to leave your homeland?" Yes. The Chinese, of course, are Chinese, not Singaporean Chinese, and the environment here has left traces on them. They didn't listen to me and opened their mouths to speak, wearing short-sleeved shirts and ugly jeans, like a herd of pigs. They were chasing and laughing in the pool, and they didn't understand that it might interrupt my train of thought or even make me angry. No, there is no such thing at home, there are still rules in the hometown, and it is unfortunate that children who are educated abroad no longer respect tradition. ”

"But," he thought for some reason, "this view contradicts our theory, according to Wang Weiwei, a Chinese is a Chinese, no matter where he lives or where he is educated, and his ancestry makes it impossible for him to forget his origin and homeland." Chang Kaishen thought again, "This is another foundation, even if it is of Chinese origin. What kind of foundation is this? Incomprehensible, nonsense. Sand or clay. The radio shows here are different, the dance music is continuous, and even I want to follow the rhythm of the dance music to the beat. The diet here is different. In the hinterland I don't eat this meat at all. A few bottles on the table. Wine, like drinking water, always has a sense of pretentiousness in relationships, and this is not a five-degree beer, it is another thing entirely. They read the newspapers of Wuhan and Chongqing, were neighbors with Han and other ethnic groups, greeted them, shopped in their stores, exchanged information, and spread around the world, but the divisive effects of this contact were obvious. "Baiyue

A small glider landed on the green field next to the house, and it was only at this point that Kaishen was relieved. The silent pilot nodded his head in greeting. In an instant, the muscles in his neck seemed to be gone, unable to support his head. Chang Kaishen likes this. Apparently, the pilot did not leave the mainland for long, and his subordinates helped him into the cockpit and sat on the right side of the pilot.

All the way to the wind, leader, I think you'll really enjoy flying to the place. ”

The plane taxied nearly 100 meters on the ground, and climbed to a higher level, Chang Kaishen asked at this time: "Where are we flying?" ”

"Into the hills, which is our residential area, there are actually only our people, and there is an outstanding airport. There were no roads, you had to ride horses to get there, and every wagon that went there was a big string, so the situation was strictly controlled.

"That's very good, how many kilometers are there to get there?"

"It's a long way, a thousand kilometers."

"How long are we going to float in the air?"

"We landed in the right place, where our brother was, we refueled, rested and continued the flight. Around five hundred kilometers we had lunch and then flew another route, where we spent the night. The silence between the mountains is indescribably beautiful. The next day, we bypassed the lockdown and moved on, which could have been done in one day, but the boss asked me not to make you uncomfortable. Ten hours in the air is not an easy task after all.

"How old are you?"

"27 years old."

"Have you ever lived in the mainland?"

"Yes, I was born in Changsha."

"What is this place?"

"A small village outside the city."

"How long have you been here?"

"Two years."

"Have you learned to speak?"

"My mother is from Hainan Island, and I was educated at my grandfather's house, where my uncle has lived since 1923."

"After the Northern Expedition?"

"Yes, I served in an aviation brigade organized by the commander, and when the commander was thrown into prison, it was Mr. Wang who recommended my father to come here to establish our base."
