Chapter 119 Negotiations
Wu opened his eyes and walked over to the corpse of a bandit, picked up the big knife he was holding in his hand, and then walked towards the bandit leader again. "Hold up!"
Wu raised his big knife and looked at the villagers, "You have a good look, if anyone becomes a bandit again in the future, this will be his fate." As he spoke, he raised his knife and cut it down.
Qingtong, who was almost vomiting, raised his body and shouted, "Stop, General Wu, this bandit has already laid down his weapon, why do you want to kill him." ”
"I'll tell you why in a moment?" With that, the knife fell, the bandit's head rolled to the ground, and Wu's clothes were stained red with blood spurting out.
The villagers exclaimed, and many people turned their backs and couldn't stand this bloody scene of countering violence with violence.
Wu threw down the big knife and grabbed Chen Qingtong's neck, "Didn't you ask me why I wanted to kill?" Wu pressed Chen to the ground, Chen wanted to look up, but his head was pressed by Wu in front of Adjutant Hong's corpse, almost hit. Chen was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly and screamed in fear.
"When you're not afraid, you'll make the same choice as me." Wu let go of the hand stuck in Chen Qingtong's neck, and Chen tilted his head and vomited again.
Wu walked up to the old gentleman, "Old gentleman, I want you to do me a favor!" ”
Mr. Teaching arched his hand and asked, "General, please speak!" ”
"This person's surname is Hong, his big name is Hong Jianyan, and he is thirty-five years old this Chinese New Year's Eve. Help me find a cemetery on this hill to bury him, and then set up a monument on the tomb for me, and engrave everything that happened today on the monument! After Wu finished speaking, he bowed his hand to the villagers and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
The villagers all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Adjutant Hong's body.
The soldier who was still crying just now walked up to Wu, "Dashuai! ”
Wu turned around and patted him on the shoulder, "Which unit were you from before?" ”
The soldier reported, "I am Lu Yinshan, deputy chief of staff of the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Brigade!" ”
Wu nodded, "Adjutant Hong is dead, and you will take his place in the future." ”
"Okay boss, what about the rest of the bandits?" Lu Yinshan asked.
"Pull back to the village and bury it alive, remember to show your head!" Wu turned to the villagers and said, "These people will be handed over to you to deal with." Now, use the cart outside the cave to carry away all the food they have stolen from you! ”
Wu walked out of the cave with his hands behind his back.
Vasily took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qingtong, "Chen, are you okay?" ”
Chen Qingtong waved his hand, "He's simply a demon!" ”
Vasily smiled, "I don't see it that way, don't you China lack such an iron-fisted leader now?" ”
Li Da shook his head, "His behavior of killing and surrendering will not only lose the dignity of a soldier, but also make everyone think that the Zhijun is a group of bloodthirsty demons!" ”
Vasily patted Li on the shoulder, "You should have read a lot of Chinese history!" Do you know how the army of the Yuan Dynasty won all battles back then? ”
Li took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, "Well, Yuan is a people on horseback, they can recruit and fight well, and their troops are strong. ”
Vasily waved his finger, "It's not all for this reason, they have a tradition, that is, every time they attack the next city, no matter how old or young, they must slaughter it!" This was a warning to those who dared to defend against them, and the cities behind heard about it and surrendered voluntarily to protect themselves. Killing is not the goal, the result of killing is to avoid more killing, this is the law of war! ”
Li Da said sadly, "Do you really think that a warlord like Wu can rule the future of China?" ”
Vasily said, "The bottom base determines the superstructure, why there are so many warlords in China, why your branch is still so weak." China's feudal autocracy has been going on for too many years, and in a way, it's the fate of your people's own choice. ”
Li Da was a little displeased, "I don't agree with what you said, the people have other choices, and we will eventually lead the people to democracy." ”
Vasily picked up a gun from the ground and handed it to Lee, "Then you must have a gun in your hand first!" ”
Outside the cave, it was the main battlefield of the battle just now, and now a bonfire has been lit. Wu and Vasily sat at a square table with a military kettle in front of them, in which was liquor. There is a plate of beef jerky and a plate of peanuts next to the kettle. "I wanted to talk about it in the cave today," he said, "but now I'm not in the mood at all." Let's just eat and talk on the small flat land on this mountainside. Wu gave Vasily a glass.
The "grizzly bear" from Siberia always had a lot of alcohol, and Vasily drank it all. "Ah, it's so comfortable, I like the way you Chinese drink."
Wu asked, "Is there any difference between you Russians drinking alcohol?" ”
"We don't talk much when we drink, we always drink almost, and then we go out of the house, smoke a cigarette and talk a few words, and then go back to the house to continue drinking," Vasily said. ”
Qingtong said with a smile, "Then it seems that your wine culture does not have a long history as our Chinese, and many political events in our Chinese history revolve around wine, such as the Hongmen banquet and the release of military power with a glass of wine." Chinese say several times more at the wine table than they usually speak! ”
Wu nodded, "That's right, as the so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and the words are not speculative." How well this meal is drunk depends on how well we talk. The glass of wine just now was a toast to the victory of this small battle in Lao Yashan, and I hope that the next toast is to celebrate the success of our cooperation. ”
Vasily nodded, "Our request is actually almost as much as it was in the letter to you. I don't know if General Wu can agree. ”
"I have no problem cooperating with you in the three eastern provinces against the Japanese. Japan, a small country, has been a student of China since ancient times, and in the past 100 years, this small country has developed well and its ambitions have become bigger and bigger. Their native resources are scarce, and their strength is constantly growing, and foreign war is their inevitable choice. Under the influence of Western colonialism, Japan also hoped to achieve its goal of strengthening itself through territorial expansion, and now Korea is all theirs, as is Taiwan and the surrounding islands. But this is not enough for them, and their next goal is obvious, which is to occupy the entire Northeast as a springboard for their domination of Asia. Wu Peifu analyzed.
Vasily nodded, "What General Wu said is very reasonable, the Northeast is not only the gateway to China, but also a very important strategic buffer for us. Needless to say, if Japan completely occupies the northeast, it can attack us in the north, and it will attack you in the south, and all of us have the same interests in this regard, and it goes without saying that what I want to communicate with you now is the question of Mongolia. ”
