Chapter 1064: Chinese New Year's Eve
Hong Kong has always been the ultimate retreat for the future he has set.
He had no intention of chasing the world, nor did he want to participate in the civil war, the Chinese fighting the Chinese, and he did not want to go through the turbulent years of the decades when the country was newly established, so he had to think of a way out in advance.
If you are alone, of course, you can go anywhere in the world.
But Lu Yuan is not alone, not only Long Yunlin, Shi Wen Xiaohua, but also the entire Sichuan Army Independent Regiment and its subordinates, Pingshui, and so many brothers in the Yongqing detachment!
He couldn't leave them behind.
What's more, he also wants to do his best to help this country in those decades of turmoil - in the name of patriotic soldiers!
A patriotic person, no matter where he lives in the world or what nationality he has, but his roots have always been rooted in this land and have never been far away!
A patriotic person may go away for his own safety, but he must not turn a blind eye to the suffering of his compatriots!
Lu Yuan too, he didn't want to be affected by the turmoil that swept the whole country, but he wouldn't stand idly by watching his compatriots die on a large scale in the disaster.
Although he felt that the turmoil was necessary to intervene or stop it by force, he believed that there was another way to help the country, the people who were dying.
And Hong Kong is undoubtedly the best place!
He believed that with his vision far ahead of the times, as well as his memory of being familiar with the trend of world history and the development of science and technology, no matter what his identity in Hong Kong was, he could become a wealthy family in the world.
As long as you have money, you can help many compatriots, at least those who were starved to death!
But after Luo Qinghu proposed to build an international aid receiving point in Hong Kong, Lu Yuan decided to adjust his plan, because he found that he might be facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Of course, he will never say these things now, otherwise these guys in front of him will definitely treat him as a monster.
Outside the window, the heavy snow gradually tended to stop, and in the regiment headquarters, Lu Yuan and a group of high-ranking officials of the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment were in a warm room, discussing various long-term and short-term plans, and they also had a clear understanding of the surrounding situation.
Internationally, World War II was ready to go and had to be launched.
Domestically, the war has entered a stalemate, and the focus of the Japanese attack will shift from the frontal battlefield to their occupied areas, trying to digest the fruits of their victory.
Around, a huge encirclement from Inner Mongolia Ulanqab, Datong in Shanxi, and Zhangjiakou in Hebei is gradually forming, trying to drink the Eighth Route Army in this area, completely trap them, and then eat them one bite at a time!
Chongqing Cheng Qian's telegrams were sent to Muma County one after another, but Lu Yuan never answered.
He did not know how much shock he had caused in the international community by the newspapers from the United States, what kind of new understanding he had given to the top and top leaders of the Nationalist army, and what kind of wishful thinking Chairman Chiang was making use of his rich experience in political struggle.
He only knew that he was not even interested in holding a thigh destined for ultimate victory, and naturally it was impossible for him to climb onto a wrecked ship that was leaking on all sides and was constantly sinking.
One after another, dishes were served up like flowing water, and tables of banquets were placed in the streets and alleys of the county, and the tempting fragrance wafted in the residual snow.
More than 15,000 soldiers and civilians from Trouma County were enjoying this rare feast, everyone's face was filled with happy laughter, and children were running between the banquets, screaming and cheering.
Lei Ming Han Xiaolei came over with hundreds of people, saying that they were congratulating the New Year, but they were actually here to fight the autumn wind, these guys, but if there is wind and grass in Trojan County, they will never let go of the opportunity to eat and drink for nothing.
"Why don't you bring your whole regiment with you?"
"It's really our Trojan Horse County that is the canteen opened by your Eighth Route Army......"
Many generals went up to pour wine, while deliberately making sarcastic remarks, but it didn't work at all, Lei Ming Han Xiaolei's iron-clad face was naturally immune to this level of damage.
Wine, drink less if you can, eat more if you can, not only eat more yourself, but also vigorously beckon the soldiers you brought to eat with your belly open, don't be polite to the host, or you won't give Lu Yuan face.
The men of the platoon gang went around looking for someone to fight for wine, and the entourage who followed Chen Liang was also looking for someone to fight, and some of them intentionally or unintentionally mentioned those Japanese generals and royal families. Day. The big mouth of the little devil general, the lieutenant general, the royal family, feel the wonderful taste.
Only this time, without the opera, I can no longer see the scene of Lin Si singing a big opera on stage and provoking people to laugh.
Lin Shiwen snorted and wept, thinking of her relatives every festival, and the scene in front of her made her feel sad.
Lu Yuan held her hand and didn't say anything to comfort her, just let her know that he was by her side.
In this year, Lin Shiwen lost her father, and he also lost a lot of close comrades-in-arms, Yang Zongman, Cai Kaile, Ximen Butcher, and even Qiu Qianyu, many people here have lost their closest people, and everyone swallowed the tears in their eyes and the wine in the cup into their stomachs.
The clock, which pointed to about twelve o'clock.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Su Yan climbed onto the high platform in the square, held a loudspeaker and shouted: "Now, on this occasion of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, please ask our head Lu to say a few words for everyone!" ”
"Good!"
"Commander, Commander......"
Everyone cheered and clapped their hands desperately.
"It's true, it's well deserved......"
Standing on the high platform, looking at the cheering crowd, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little weak, he couldn't imagine that he, an ordinary soldier, would get so many cheers when he came to this era.
"The head of the regiment is polite......"
Countless people doubled their screams and cheers, and they all knew that their regimental commander could afford all the applause and cheers.
Long Yunlin Shiwen looked at Lu Yuan on the stage, pursed her lips and smiled, that was the love in their hearts, that was their glory, only Lei Ming stuffed a mouthful of big fat meat and sneered while chewing hard: "The dogs in the countryside have never entered the city, and they can't go on the big stage......"
It was a year of suffering, and they got through it.
They are looking forward to a better new year.
On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1938, the weather was fine.
On this day, the soldiers and civilians of Trojan County saw off three or eight years and ushered in a new year.
