Chapter 41: The Butterfly Flaps Its Wings and the Storm Rises

Xuzhou, north of Weishan Lake, west of Xiao County, east of Lianyungang, south of Suqian, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal through the border, is the intersection of Longhai, Beijing-Shanghai two major railway trunk lines, known as the "thoroughfare of five provinces" said. At the beginning of the Republic of China, Xuzhou Mansion was abolished and Guo Tongshan County was attached.

Needless to say, the wealth and prosperity of the copper mountain go without saying, even if the war is about to come, you can still vaguely see the prosperous scene of the past.

Li Siwei led his troops to Tongshan, and as soon as he settled down at the station, the black-faced car drove straight to the entrance of the regimental headquarters, and the two sentries stared at the bridge car vigilantly.

The car door opened, and a young man pushed open the door and walked down, looking up at the two sentries, "Is Regiment Commander Li Siwei here?" ”

The two sentries were also secretly looking at this young man, only to see that this young man was tall, handsome, dressed in a decent blue tunic, and there was a momentum in his gestures, although they couldn't tell what kind of momentum it was, but they knew in their hearts that such a person could not be provoked by himself!

Hearing the young man's question, a sentry hurriedly saluted, "Excuse me, who are you?" ”

The young man was slightly stunned, "Minister Chen wants to see him." ”

Minister Chen? Although the two sentinels didn't know who Minister Chen was, they could send a small car to pick up people, and they were big people, so where did they dare to slack off, and one of the sentries hurriedly said, "Please follow me." ”

The sentry took the young man into the courtyard, where the brothers of the regimental headquarters were busy, and Li Siwei was wandering around the courtyard.

The sentry walked straight to Li Siwei with the young man and saluted, "Commander, someone wants to see you." ”

The young man followed behind the sentry and secretly looked at Li Siwei, this is the person the minister wants to meet? Too young!

Li Siwei glanced at the young man, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand, "Fortunately, I will be honored, may I ask your surname?" ”

The young man was stunned again, this doesn't look like a mud-legged leader! He smiled slightly and held Li Siwei's hand, "Contemptible Leng Feng, Minister Chen wants to see you!" ”

Li Siwei was shocked in his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "It is a great honor to be summoned by the minister. "Minister Chen? Is it them?

Li Siwei sat in the car like pins and needles, and his thoughts were flying, why did he see himself? I'm just a little leader! In the history books, those two ministers Chen are like the king of Hades, what should I do?

Li Siwei hadn't come up with a reason yet, but he saw that the car had slowly driven into a heavily guarded house.

The car stopped in a corner of the yard, Leng Feng pushed the door down and opened the door for Li Siwei, "Head Li, please!" ”

Li Siwei looked at Leng Feng, who had a cold face, gritted his teeth, and got out of the car hard, afraid of a hammer, and the soldiers would cover up the water! Who says seeing them is necessarily a bad thing?

Leng Feng took Li Siwei around to the backyard, and went straight to a small building, at the door, two people dressed like Leng Feng looked at him coldly, and they didn't squint.

Leng Feng took Li Siwei up to the second floor, walked to a door, and knocked gently, "Minister, someone has already brought." ”

"Come in," a calm voice came from inside.

Leng Feng pushed the door in, Li Siwei slowly followed, and saw a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk, that was Minister Chen.

Li Siwei glanced at him secretly: he was dressed in a light gray tunic, with an elegant temperament, and his face was calm, but his face was sickly sallow...... Li Siwei suddenly remembered a book he had read, which contained some records about the Chen brothers, who suffered from tuberculosis and died of poverty and illness after arriving in Taiwan.

Li Siwei has a sense of respect in his heart, he has lived in the era of rampant corruption for a long time, and he has a special respect for honest officials!

Li Siwei slowly raised his head and looked at Minister Chen, but saw that Minister Chen was also looking at him quietly.

Li Siwei was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly saluted, "Humble Li Siwei, I am ordered to report!" ”

Minister Chen's face was not happy or angry, he still looked at Li Siwei quietly, and said slowly: "Do you know why I called you here?" ”

Li Siwei met his gaze and replied calmly: "Humble and dull, please make it clear to the minister!" ”

Li Siwei knows that in the face of such characters, he must not lie, because they have enough ability to debunk any of their lies...... People in the world often make up ten lies in order to cover up one lie, but don't you know that the more lies there are, the easier it is to be exposed!

Minister Chen nodded lightly, "My people have investigated, and the fire in Guangmingji burned about 20,000 Japanese soldiers......" Saying this, he stopped and looked at Li Siwei tightly.

Li Siwei met his gaze and said softly: "I don't know what to do...... After setting the fire, he took his brothers and hid in the tunnel and fled for their lives. ”

"Well," Minister Chen nodded slightly, "Now, you know ...... So, what do you think? ”

Li Siwei was stunned, his mind was racing, and he said slowly: "Don't dare to deceive the minister, at that time, I was a little afraid of ......."

Minister Chen was stunned for a moment and stared at him tightly.

Li Siwei continued: "Although I hate them very much, but after all, it is all human life...... The humble duty saw the little devil's team enter the city with his own eyes, and then, a fire...... They were all scorched inside, and they could smell the pungent smell even if they hid in the tunnel......" Li Siwei said here and stopped.

Minister Chen finally smiled, "What now? ”

Li Siwei raised his voice, "Don't be afraid, I figured it out, I am a soldier, and as a soldier, I haven't done anything wrong!" ”

"Oh," Minister Chen smiled, "do you think you really did anything wrong?" ”

Li Siwei was startled, had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly realized, "Is it about blowing up the bridge?" ”

"Looks like you still know!" Minister Chen nodded, "Do you know the importance of that bridge?" ”

Li Siwei understood, and dared to think about the counterattack! However, Li Siwei knew that the little devil would soon occupy this area, and that bridge would only serve the little devil...... However, the justification for this matter was not clear, so he had to admit his mistake calmly, "I am willing to be punished if I am wrong!" ”

"Okay," Minister Chen smiled slightly, "The matter of Guangming Ji has been revealed, and I called you over not to hold you responsible, after all, the above is still very satisfied with that matter." ”

Satisfied? Li Siwei understood, the above wanted to make a fortune in a muffled voice! You are allowed to do this, but you can only do it quietly, is it still pretending to be sympathetic in front of Westerners and trying to get more help? Li Siwei didn't think about it further, after all, he was just a petty officer!

Seeing that Li Siwei was silent, Minister Chen then asked, "Do you know what I admire about you?" ”

Li Siwei shook his head and said calmly: "I don't know ...... of lowly duties" Yes, there are more brave soldiers than himself, and there are more people with higher positions than himself...... Why did he find him?

Minister Chen seemed to see his doubts, and looked at him with a smile on his face, "There are many soldiers who are more heroic than you, but ...... There are not many people like you who have survived the ordeal, and even fewer who have been able to strengthen their ranks in the face of adversity...... I need people like you! ”

Li Siwei was shocked, this is to pull himself into the gang!

"How?" Sure enough, Minister Chen looked at Li Siwei quietly and said slowly: "You may not know our department, but I can guarantee that following me is far more promising than being the commander of a ragtag army." ”

Li Siwei secretly smiled bitterly, it was precisely because he knew what Minister Chen was doing that he was entangled! Refuse, right? Who knows if it will offend this living Hades...... Agreed, right? That's not the future I want.

Minister Chen didn't speak, just looked at Li Siwei quietly, waiting for his reply.

Li Siwei only felt that his back was already wet, and his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably...... The man who was as silent as a mountain kept releasing the pressure, and he was almost out of breath.

But...... Li Siwei gritted his teeth, slowly raised his head, met Minister Chen's gaze, and saluted with a "snap", "Report to the minister, the humble position is a soldier, born to be a soldier's life, the humble duty just wants to be a pure soldier, a soldier who fights bloodily at the front line, even if he dies in battle one day, he has no regrets...... I also hope that the minister will be fulfilled. ”

Minister Chen's disappointment flashed, and he looked at Li Siwei and nodded slowly, "This is your choice, I don't force ......" Suddenly, he smiled slightly, "Let me ask you, what do you think about the matter of the Guangming Collection?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned, he ...... So easy to talk to? But what does the chairman mean by this?

Li Siwei groaned for a while, and said tentatively: "I know that I am wrong, and I won't do nonsense in the future......"

"That's not it," Minister Chen shook his head slowly.

Li Siwei groaned for a moment and said slowly: "I won't set fire to it anymore." ”

"It's not like that," Minister Chen still shook his head and reminded with a smile on his face: "Are you still satisfied with your military rank?" ”

"Oh," Li Siwei was stunned, "I'm very satisfied." ”

"Well," Minister Chen nodded, and said slowly, "Young man, it will be yours after all." ”

Li Siwei understood that this was to appease himself, so did he have to show his determination...... Li Siwei saluted again, "Report to the minister, what you missed, you will never be nostalgic for your humble position, and your humble position will use your own hands to go to the battlefield and earn it back!" ”

Minister Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you can go." ”

Li Siwei saluted, turned around and left, at this moment, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Li Siwei gently opened the door and was about to step out, but he heard Minister Chen's voice coming over, "Remember my words...... Keep alive. ”

Li Siwei stiffened, slowly turned around, and saluted Minister Chen, "Thank you!" ”

Leng Feng sent Li Siwei back to the regiment headquarters.

Li Siwei went straight to his room and went to bed, feeling like he was prostrating. Who did you just meet? Even in his previous life, he had heard of Minister Chen's prestige! Fortunately, there is no danger...... Li Siwei lay on the bed and couldn't help but recall his experiences these days.

He couldn't help but think of the phrase that a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with an occasional flap of its wings, could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.

This is the butterfly effect, the butterfly spreads its wings and the wind rises, let alone such a soul that appears in this era out of thin air?

If it weren't for himself, Li Cannon would have died in the trenches of Dachang Town, and there would be no Taiping Village, no Guangmingji, and perhaps, no 66th Division...... Something has inevitably changed on its own.

"Knock knock," there was a knock on the door, and a yellowed voice rang out outside the door, "Sir, it's time to eat." ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "You eat, Lao Tzu is not hungry." ”

The sound of Huanghua's footsteps gradually faded away, and Li Siwei turned over. Right now, his mind is a bit messed up and he just wants to get a good night's sleep.

"Knock knock," the knock on the door rang again, this time in Ning Rou's voice, "Are you alright?" ”

Li Siwei smiled bitterly, turned over and got out of bed, opened the door, Ning Rou stood at the door slimly, holding a bowl in his hand, looking at him with a smile, "Eat a little, improve the food today...... Dry rice, and meat. ”

Li Siwei looked at Ning Rou, who was smiling and smiling, and his heart became lighter, he took the bowl with a smile, pulled her up and walked out, "I'm fine, go, go out and eat with my brothers." ”

"Are you tired?" Ning Rou followed behind Li Siwei and asked in a low voice, "Is it because of that Minister Chen, who is he?" ”

Li Siwei turned his head and smiled at her, "It's hard to say...... Well, he's a pretty good guy. ”

"What is this?" Ning Rou glanced at him, "If you don't want to say it, forget it......"

Li Siwei smiled bitterly: "He wants me to work for him......"

Ning Rou was taken aback, "You agreed?" ”

Li Siwei shook his head, "I refused." ”

Ning Rou breathed a sigh of relief, "You are the head of the regiment now, and there are more than 2,000 brothers behind you, so you can't come nonsense." ”

Li Siwei smiled, "I don't just have more than two thousand brothers, but also you." ”

Ning Rouqiao blushed and lowered her head.

Li Siwei continued: "You haven't told me where your hometown is? ”

Ning Rou was stunned for a moment and raised her head, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Li Siwei smiled at her, "I'll send you home early, and ...... Meet Your Parents......"

Li Siwei didn't say anything further, but Ning Rou had already understood, and a heart jumped up, and her pretty face was covered with redness.

At this time, Wei Yidao walked into the courtyard with a smile, holding a large bowl in his hand, "Commander, why are you up?" I'm afraid you won't have enough food, so I'm about to send you some more...... Dog's day, the above is so generous this time......"

The ambiguous atmosphere was broken by Wei Yidao, Ning Rou hung her head shyly, Li Siwei turned his head and smiled at Wei Yidao, "No need, I'll go to the hall to eat." ”

Wei Yidao looked at Ning Rou, whose face was flushed, and then at Li Siwei, revealing a smile, "Okay." He said yes and walked briskly with his bowl in hand.

Ning Rou saw Wei Yidao leaving, raised her head and glared at Li Siwei, "You eat slowly, I'll go back." With that, he hurried out of the courtyard.

Li Siwei looked at her back and smiled, since he came, he should do something! As for history...... About Lao Tzu's hammer thing? Lao Tzu is reborn, and he can't even be as good as a butterfly!
