The domestic war is still ongoing, but for many people in areas where the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, life still has to be passed, and such an important day as the Spring Festival must be lived. Even some warring zones have gradually reduced the number of encounters due to the Spring Festival.

Shanghai, which has been occupied by the Japanese army for more than a year, although many people are indignant at the Japanese occupation, they have become accustomed to it over time. The hustle and bustle of Shiliyangchang still makes countless people lost in this international metropolis.

Hu Biao, who returned to the concession, stayed in the villa he bought, and he didn't go to accompany Lin Yashi for two days. The final result was that Lin Yashi, who was very lovesick, soon discovered that Hu Biao's antidote was a little beyond imagination.

When Hu Biao was still powerful, she was too greedy and had to stay in the room to make up for sleep. Until this moment, Lin Yashi finally understood how strong the acacia she had accumulated was, and how sufficient the antidote Hu Biao had accumulated.

Facing the somewhat ridiculous gaze of his brother-in-law Lin Haoyuan, Hu Biao also blushed a little. Fortunately, Hu Biao didn't want to explain too much about this kind of thing. Young people haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's normal to be greedy.

Taking advantage of Lin Yashi's sleep, Hu Biao asked people to prepare some condolences and gifts, and visited Brooke's uncle and nephew and some directors and bigwigs who had friendships with the concession. For Hu Biao, who came to give gifts, these foreign bigwigs naturally seemed very enthusiastic.

Even the guards stationed in the concession looked at the cigarettes, alcohol, and meat and condolences brought into the camp, and the officers and men were equally happy. Through this kind of condolences, Aihua Trading Company has also become a reliable friend in the eyes of many foreigners in the concession.

At least one thing Hu Biao knows very well that in the future, even if he is not in the concession, some people want to trouble the company, and I believe that there will be many people who will speak for the company. Even if you are eyeing the company's little devils, you have to consider the consequences of provoking public anger.

At dinner, Lin Haoyuan was also puzzled and said, "Lao Hu, why do you want to give gifts to those foreign devils?" Listen to Xiaomei, don't you hate and dislike those invaders? For us, there is no difference between foreign devils and little devils! ”

Although he has not been in contact with this brother-in-law for a long time, Hu Biao already knows that this brother-in-law has a bit of an angry personality in later generations. In Lin Haoyuan's view, the countries invaded by the Eight-Nation Alliance were not good birds.

For such an inquiry, Hu Biao smiled and said: "That's right! Those foreign devils are really no different from the little devils, and I would like to kill them all if I have the chance. The question is, do we have the ability to do this now?

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, you must remember this sentence. Sometimes the struggle cannot be carried out on a presumptuous basis, and the most important thing for us at the moment is to build up strength. Attract more people who can be wooed, and let them help us develop and grow against the little devils.

In fact, at the moment we lack everything, and if we don't win over these foreign devils for our use, then it is impossible for us to gain a firm foothold in the concession. Only if they feel that we are worth winning over, will they stop the little devils for us.

Forbearance now is also for the rise of the future. As a commander, you must understand how to maximize your benefits. It seems that I have given a lot of things and money this time, but I believe that these things and money will be doubled in the future. ”

It is not advisable to be blindly tough, and appropriate concession and forbearance are also for the sake of the future. What's more, if he really fell out with these foreigners in the concession, it would only make it difficult for Hu Biao's career in the concession to move forward. Only by giving up some benefits can foreigners continue to support themselves.

It is rare to have time to stay at home, and Hu Biao will also teach Lin Haoyuan some principles of dealing with people as much as possible. If he is too rigid and doesn't understand soft words, Lin Haoyuan won't be able to go too far in the future, let alone assume the responsibility of the commander of the naval formation.

Listening to Hu Biao's words, Lin Yashi also interjected at the right time: "Brother, you are too stubborn!" If you really hate foreign devils, why do you want to run a boat for foreign devils? In the future, when we buy a boat, we will still have to hang the flag of foreign devils! ”

It is certainly a good thing to be a person with persistence. But if you insist too much on everything, sometimes it will be bad!

Knowing that Lin Haoyuan needs to take on more and more dangerous work after the New Year, Hu Biao also hopes to take advantage of the rare opportunity to be together to explain to Lin Haoyuan more about how to deal with people. Because in the future, Lin Haoyuan needs to be considered for more people.

The so-called 'one general is incompetent and kills the three armies', let Lin Haoyuan pick up this burden, and Hu Biao also needs to be responsible for him and others. Even if he was responsible for this responsibility, Lin Haoyuan made it clear that he was willing. But Hu Biao still needs more advice.

deliberately picked a time for the US military to take care of it, Hu Biao followed the condolence convoy and entered the lonely military camp that was gradually forgotten. Compared to the time when it was first imprisoned, the lonely military camp has become much quieter now.

Except for some people in the vicinity, who is held in this prison guarded by foreign soldiers. Most of the ordinary people who are busy have forgotten what these comrades-in-arms have paid for it. Time is good medicine, isn't it poison?

Looking at Hu Biao, who followed the convoy into the lonely army camp, Xie Jinyuan, who was still staying in the camp as the commander, couldn't hide his joy and said: "Why are you here!" Haha, I thought you forgot about me, the old chief! ”

Listening to what Xie Jinyuan said, Hu Biao also said sincerely: "Tuanzao, I'm really sorry!" Earlier, he had been fighting in the war zone, and he had just returned to Shanghai two days ago. Originally, the company commander also wanted to come back, but now they have a lot of things. ”

In the face of Hu Biao's humility, Xie Jinyuan said with a smile: "I'm joking with you kid!" Although you kid hasn't been here for so long, we have not lost any benefit to staying here. You see, I've gained a lot of weight now! By the way, are they all okay? ”

"It's all fine now! Lei Lian and I inflicted heavy losses on a division of the little devil in Lu'an, and now we are managing the base areas behind enemy lines in southern Jiangsu. After more than a year of development, the number of regular troops under my command has reached nearly 10,000. ”

"Good fellows! It seems that I have honored you as a teacher! ”

"Tuanza, don't laugh at me! In fact, the further down the road goes, the more stressful it becomes. Before, Battalion Commander Yang also persuaded me to hand over the troops, and the above was willing to give me the position of deputy commander and serve as the commander of a division.

But in the end, I thought about it, and in the end I chose to refuse. I'm worried about what they're going to do to us if I put these in the hands of my brothers again. With the fear of being abandoned, it is better to do it yourself! ”

This time he came to the lonely military camp, and Hu Biao also planned to have an open and honest talk with Xie Jinyuan. That is, he will not hand over this force, not anyone. Even if Xie Jinyuan comes out in the future, Hu Biao will not hand over the troops to him.

In fact, according to the information obtained by Hu Biao, someone on the side of the Nationalist Government did think of rescuing or redeeming Xie Jinyuan, and then letting Xie Jinyuan take over Hu Biao's troops. In the end, this suggestion was rejected by Dai Li.

The reason is very simple, Hu Biao said that Xie Jinyuan was detained in the lonely army camp earlier, and refused to hand over the troops to the national army for deployment, which was nothing more than an excuse. At present, Hu Biao's troops have been further expanded, and his ability to protect himself is stronger, and it is even more impossible to hand over his troops.

If you really do that, not only will Hu Biao be in danger, but those backbones who started with Hu Biao will not end well. There are some things that those people in the national government can't do in war, but they are experts in playing this set of conspiracy and calculations.

In the face of Hu Biao's honesty, Xie Jinyuan said with a smile: "If you just went out, I might persuade you to go back, so that you have a place to rely on and a home." But now, I won't persuade you, but I think you think it's very reasonable.

I've told them all the guys I changed out before, and when you get to your troops, you must remember that you are their commander. Our 524th Regiment, from the day it was disarmed and detained, has actually existed in name only.

I know that you kid is thinking of me, and I am very relieved and happy. But I still have to tell you, there are some things you can do, but I can't. I just want you to remember, don't forget those dead brothers, and don't forget your mission and responsibility! ”

"Please rest assured! At all times, my guns will only be aimed at the aggressor. As long as those people follow the rules, I will tolerate where I can. This time, I plan to discuss something with you, and I hope you are prepared! ”

"You say!"

"I'm going to take your family out! After the New Year, I will find a way to discuss with the concession and find a suitable name to transfer you out. I know you want to get out of here openly, but my sister-in-law and children are waiting for you!

Most importantly, as far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid that the little devils will attack the concession at any time. If that's the case, you should know what the little devil will do to you. Moreover, the little devil is already planning to form a puppet government over there in Jinling! ”

Following these words, Hu Biao told Wang Jingwei about his defection to the enemy. As a former colonel-level officer, Xie Jinyuan naturally knew that Wang Jingwei had held important positions in the government earlier, and he was very aware of many institutions and organizations.

In addition, the battles of Xuzhou and Wuhan ended in the defeat of the Nationalist Government. It is almost impossible to expect the national army to fight back to Shanghai and approach the concession to release Xie Jinyuan and his party, who were imprisoned in the lonely military camp. And Hu Biao didn't want Xie Jinyuan to die heroically.

Secondly, in Hu Biao's future plans, he also urgently needs some capable military and political talents. If Xie Jinyuan is willing to accept the invitation, Hu Biao will also send Xie Jinyuan to a place where not many people know him, so that he can stand alone.

After a moment of silence, Xie Jinyuan smiled bitterly and said, "You kid, you really give me a problem!" Let me think about it! ”

"Good! Then I will ask the group to write a letter to the family, and then I will ask people to personally pick up my sister-in-law and them. As far as the current situation is concerned, even if the sister-in-law is where they are, it is difficult to avoid being affected by the war.

When you come out, if you don't want to join the army or politics, I will also find someone to send you to a place where there is no war. If you still want to do something, I'll find you something to do too. Let you continue to lead troops, or manage people's livelihood and the like! ”

If when he was first detained, Xie Jinyuan still had a glimmer of hope for the government. With such constant defeats, coupled with the erosive situation of the Anti-Japanese War, he already knew that Hu Biao's worries were not unreasonable. And is he really willing to sit and die here?
