Vasily looked at the team with interest, and he walked around behind the soldiers, and was surprised to find that several of them were still carrying small-caliber guns on their backs. Some of them carried wheels, some carried gun barrels, and the rest of the soldiers carried ammunition and supplies.

"How much do they have weapons?" Vasily asked.

Wu Peifu said lightly, "At least thirty kilograms." ”

Vasily nodded, "Won't having so many supplies and weapons on their backs affect their combat effectiveness?" ”

Wu Peifu glanced at Adjutant Hong, who said to Vasily, "Report to the chief, our stormtroopers can carry three days' supplies on their backs on one march, and they can march fifty kilometers in half a day, and they can immediately go into battle. ”

Vasily shook his head disdainfully, "This is impossible, even our ace division cannot have such combat capabilities." ”

Wu Peifu turned his head to the soldiers, "It seems that the Soviet representatives have doubts about your ability?" Are we braggart troops? ”

A military vehicle drove into the yard, and Wu Peifu stretched out his hand, "A few people, please get in the car, let's get in the car and talk slowly." After Wu Peifu finished speaking, he glanced at Adjutant Hong, and Adjutant Hong nodded.

The car drove towards the outskirts of Beijing.

Vasily was very interested in the skinny marshal in front of him, who did not look like a proper warrior in appearance. "General Wu, I heard that during the Russo-Japanese War, you helped the Japanese collect intelligence, and you also received a medal for this?"

Wu nodded, "That was the starting point of my military career, and I was just an ordinary officer at that time. At that time, Russia used troops in the northeast, and the biggest military purpose was to hope that it could have an ice-free port in the Far East, and you chose this place in Lushun. Saying that, Wu suddenly laughed heartily, "It's really ironic to think about it, Russia's territory is so big, there are few outlets to the sea." ”

Vasily turned to Li Da and Qingtong and asked, "Do you know why the Japanese were able to win that battle?" ”

Qingtong said embarrassedly, "Li Da and I don't know much about military affairs. ”

"After Japan's victory over Russia, the naval instructors gave the students an example of this battle," Vasily said. Some students asked, instructor, why we were able to defeat Russia. The instructor replied that forty percent was a matter of luck. The student asked, "What about the remaining 60 percent?" The instructor thought for a while, and then said that the remaining sixty percent was still luck. ”

Vasily's words made Li Da and Qingtong laugh, and even Wu couldn't help but cover his mouth.

"It seems to me that the luck of the Japanese Navy is twofold, on the one hand, the Russian Admiral was killed by a mine as soon as he took office, and after the battle began, the Japanese hit the battleship's command tower directly with a miraculous shell, which caused serious damage to the brain of the Russian Navy. On the other hand, the weather was also biased in favor of the Japanese, and when the naval battle in the Sea of Japan was going on, the fog at sea interfered with the judgment of the Russian generals, resulting in many mistakes in decision-making, which gave the Japanese a chance to win. ”

Wu did not fully support Vasily's statement, "Our intelligence work on land is also the key to the victory of the Japanese." You know, we've got almost all the naval armaments of the Russians. ”

"But you never thought that even if you helped the Japanese, the Japanese would not perform much better than the Russians!" Vasily shook his head.

"I didn't expect that even if Russia became the Soviet Union, the situation in the Northeast would still be the same." Wu looked at Vasily meaningfully.

"How can you compare Russia with us? Russia is rotten, we are advanced. Vasily was a little displeased.

"But don't you, except that your flag has changed, still have tall yellow hair? In the Northeast, your people have not decreased, on the contrary, you have more control over the Northeast than in the former Russia. Not only that, but don't you also have an eye on our Mongolia? ”

Vasily could not argue, and the conversation between the two sides reached an impasse.

The discussion of war has risen to the level of national interests, and the topic can no longer be pursued. Qingtong wisely interrupted the discussion, and he took a unique approach to turn everyone's attention to Wu's past.

"Comrade Vasily, you don't know yet, do you? Wu Dashuai's life is definitely a legend, I heard that Wu Dashuai also worked as a fortune teller for a period of time when he was down. ”

Li Da also helped change the subject, "Oh, I really don't know. Wu Dashuai's life path is really quite tortuous! ”

Vasily didn't quite understand the word fortune teller, "What is a fortune teller?" Isn't Wu Dashuai's surname Wu? Why is the surname forgotten again. ”

The crowd laughed.

Li Da humorously explained, "A fortune teller is a prophet, who can predict a person's future, and can see that person will be good and bad." ”

Vasily understood, "We have it there, but most of them are women. ”

Wu twisted his neck, "That's even the most frustrating time in my life." I still remember that when I was infected with a big smoking problem in my hometown, once I tried to ask a rich man for cigarettes in a tobacco house and was beaten up by him, and then I gathered a few good brothers to reason with him, but he colluded with the government to kill me. I had no choice but to leave my hometown and come to Beijing to make a living. I still have some pen and ink in my stomach, and I studied Zhou Yi when I was a child, so I have some experience in the theory of fate and make a living from it. ”

Qingtong pursed his lips, "Since Wu Dashuai has this ability, can we also let Wu Dashuai help us calculate?" ”

Li Da felt that Qingtong was a little excessive, how dare he ask China's highest leader to tell him fortunes? Spread it out, and it's worth it.

Wu Dashuai's performance was unexpected, he took Qingtong's hand and looked at his facial features again. "What do you want to ask?"

Qingtong didn't quite know what he wanted to ask, "Just look at it and say." ”

Wu Dashuai swiped Qingtong's palm with his hand, "There are two ups and downs in your life, judging from the lines of your hands, your first rise has passed, and soon your second rise will come, at that time you will reach the peak of life, but what will follow is the last two complete declines." ”

Everyone wants to hear others say good things about themselves, and for those unfavorable content, they will always choose to go in the left ear and out the right ear. Qingtong heard Wu's mixed words, and his mood was probably like this, the first one was naturally the smooth spread of the New Culture Movement in China, which dealt a blow to the arrogance of warlords and foreign forces, and it is impossible to know what the next one would be. "What is the main reason for my decline?"

Wu thought for a while, "I can't count the specific things, but your problem has a lot to do with your character. You are resolute and resolute, but you are also compromising and forbearing. Both of these personalities are too extreme, and once you are in opposition to the big picture, you can't control your own life. ”
