I don't know if it's because Liu Xiang was happy to see Li Tie finally arrive, or because he returned to the light. Liu Xiang seemed to suddenly feel a little energetic, and he could actually lean on the head of the hospital bed.

I saw Liu Xiang take out a white cloth from under the pillow and hand it to Li Tie, and motioned to Wang Ruiling to call all the generals outside the ward into the ward.

Soon, dozens of generals entered the ward, and although the huge ward was crowded, there was not a trace of noise in the entire ward except for the sound of footsteps.

Liu Xiang glanced at the Sichuan army general in front of the hospital bed with satisfaction and said earnestly: "A year ago, the Japanese had just invaded Pingjin.

I said at the National Assembly in Nanjing that I had fought a civil war for many years in the past, and my face was not very glamorous, but today I serve the country, how can I be in the rear!

In order to resist the Japanese army, Sichuan, as a large province in the country, has a particularly heavy responsibility for the people of Sichuan than other provinces. The generals present also took the initiative to ask Ying to go out of Sichuan to fight the Japanese army.

A few days ago, I had a little unpleasant trouble with Commander Jiang, and I used a little petty temperament to transfer your 100,000 elite soldiers back to Chongqing, which is Liu someone's fault.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War last year, I said, "During the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan can send 300,000 troops, supply 5 million strong men, and supply tens of thousands of stone of grain." "Today, we still have 300,000 Sichuan compatriots in Wuhan, and we 100,000 naturally cannot hide at home.

Although I am seriously ill and have died, I am the same as all the monarchs, and my heart to fight to the end has always been unswerving, that is, the enemy army will not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to its hometown for a day! Liu Xiang said a lot in one breath. Qi and blood were a little insufficient, coughed a few times, and Li Tie beside him immediately stepped forward and gently knocked Liu Xiang on the back. He even picked up a glass of water in front of the hospital bed and gave it to Liu Xiang to drink.

Liu Xiang looked at Li Tie gratefully, smiled and nodded, and then he took off a ring on his finger and put it directly on Li Tie's finger.

Li Tie didn't know why he just poured a glass of water for Liu Xiang, and Liu Xiang was going to give him a ring, but in front of so many generals, Liu Xiang was seriously ill, and he was willing to refuse.

Li Tie didn't notice that when Liu Xiang put the ring on his hand, the strange expressions on the faces of the generals in front of the bed.

Liu Xiang tried his best to put the ring completely on Li Tie's finger, as if he had completed a heartfelt matter, he breathed a sigh of relief, and solemnly said to all the generals again: "Although Li Tie is young, we have been friends for twelve years.

In the past 12 years, without the support of Brother Li Tie, there would be no me, Liu Xiang, and no one here. The military uniforms you wear, the steel guns you hold in your hands, and the sufficient monthly military salaries are all due to Li Tie.

It can be said that without Li Tie's strong support in armaments and Li Tie's vigorous investment in Chongqing, there would have been no day when the people of Sichuan would have been prosperous.

And the Li Tie brothers were originally rich and rivaled the country, and with his identity, he could live freely in the world for a lifetime. But he didn't.

From the September 18 Incident in 31 years, to the bloody battle in Nanjing, to the Battle of Xuzhou a few days ago, and to the Battle of Wuhan today, which battle did not have Li Tie's figure? Don't have their Huaxing figure?

Our Nationalist Army fought dozens of vicious battles with the Japanese army, and the few battles in which the Japanese army was wiped out the most were all done by Li Tie's Hainan Guards.

Li Tie's spirit of serving the country made me Liu Xiang admire. So call you to the bed today, without him, after my death, all the Sichuan army will be handed over to the Li Tie brothers.

From now on, you are Li Tie's Sichuan army. As soon as Liu Xiang's voice fell, the generals present were shocked, some were happy, some frowned, and some were expressionless.

Li Tie was also surprised, although he already had 60,000 Hainan guards in Hainan and 50,000 Huaxing guards in Hong Kong. There are also two bandit armies of more than 100,000 people in the northeast, and dozens of Chinese armed forces in Southeast Asia.

However, Liu Xiang's Sichuan army has 400,000, even if it is the 100,000 elite soldiers in front of him, it is not a small number, if he accepts these soldiers, he will not be able to become the number one enemy of Commander Jiang.

Judging from Commander Jiang's behavior of dismembering the Sichuan army in order to prevent Liu Xiang from developing and growing in the Anti-Japanese War, if he becomes the king of Sichuan, even if he has a non-existent base-place-organization-organization behind him to support him, he will inevitably be calculated by Commander Jiang.

Just when Li Tie hadn't come back to his senses, Liu Xiang continued: "I know that everyone's circumstances are different and their thoughts are different, and I don't embarrass you.

Li Tie is my brother, my most reassuring brother, if you still believe in the back road I picked for you, you will assist Li Tie wholeheartedly.

If there is a brother who plans to find another way, please leave on his own in a while, and please don't embarrass these brothers, if he meets on the battlefield, everyone will have their own destiny. ”

Liu Xiang said this very clearly, he thought that he was not Commander Chiang's opponent, and at the same time, he was not optimistic that Commander Chiang, a master who did not take the people seriously, could lead the people of the whole of China to defeat the Japanese army.

In Liu Xiang's eyes, Li Tie is benevolent and righteous, thoughtful, has ideas, and understands the easy reason of the changes in heaven and earth.

Hainan is a barren land, how many soldiers can there be? Sichuan is different, the largest province in the country, the most populous province in the country, known as the country of Sichuan. Now he has handed over hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops to Li Tie.

I believe that with Li Tie's ability, he will definitely be able to shine in the war against Japan, and as long as Li Tie can get enough military merits, it is not impossible to replace Commander Chiang in the future.

And once Li Tie can govern the Republic of China, then as Li Tie's most powerful help, the life of the people of Sichuan will definitely be better.

This is Liu Xiang's wishful thinking, how did he know that Li Tie never thought of being the king and hegemon in China, in Li Tie's view, even if he jumped to be happy, as soon as Mao Wei was born in the future, he would only have the life of being slaughtered.

The party history researcher in the previous generation was not in vain, and the current Li Tie did not look at his strength, but Li Tie did not establish a political party, and his subordinates were loyal to Li Tie, even because everyone and a common enemy, Japan, were also loyal to Li Tie's good welfare policy.

As soon as the Maoist committee takes power in the future and several advanced party and government programs are promulgated, most of his subordinates will have to surrender.

It is impossible for a political party without a governing program to have strong combat effectiveness. And Li Tie has always been lazy, so he won't go to any political party and lock himself up.

Now he is bent on resisting Japan and leading the entire Huaxing Group to fight to the death with Japan, because as an angry young man from later generations, he naturally reveals his true feelings. But Li Tie never thought of replacing Commander Chiang.

So as soon as he heard Liu Xiang's suggestion, Li Tie disagreed, and hurriedly excused himself: "Brother Liu, where am I the material to lead the troops, you quickly withdraw the order and choose someone else." ”

Liu Xiang smiled and pointed at Li Tie's finger: "The handsome seal has been passed on to you, and from now on you will be the new king of Sichuan." ”

"Ahh Li Tie only found out at this time that the ring on his finger was really engraved with a big Sichuan character, but who would have thought that this was Shuai Yin? So Li Tie immediately took off the ring and wanted to return it to Liu Xiang.

But Li Tie shouted Brother Liu Xiang a few times, and found that Liu Xiang did not react, Li Tie was shocked. It turned out that although Liu Xiang was smiling at this time, he had indeed passed away.

"Brother Liu!" Li Tie suddenly knelt in front of Liu Xiang's bed, tears raining down.

"Liu Shuai!"

"Commander!"

There was a cry in the ward, and dozens of generals were saddened by Liu Xiang's sudden death, and they also felt sad that they had lost their backbone.

After all, most of the dozens of generals were promoted by Liu Xiang, and some of them had followed Liu Xiang to fight in the south and north for decades, and Liu Xiang's sudden death was a serious blow to these Sichuan generals.

The soldiers cried in Liu Xiang's ward, and Li Tie cried more than anyone else, he really didn't want to accept the Sichuan army, he didn't think he had the ability. Let him lead 10,000 people is not competent, how can he lead hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops.

What's more, there are only 100,000 of these hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops who can really listen to Liu Xiang's words, and there are 300,000 Sichuan troops who are not in Chongqing and are stationed in Wuhan. How can I be the opponent of these leading generals?

But everyone heard Liu Xiang's last words clearly, and dozens of generals looked at Li Tie one after another, Li Tie knew that at this time, he should say something:

"Generals, I, Li Tie, am not good at leading troops, but I am Chinese, if you want to fight the Japanese to the end, count me in, I dare not say that I can lead everyone to defeat the Japanese army."

However, I can provide you with the most adequate military pay and the best weapons, and ensure that all the soldiers who leave the river will have medical treatment, the dead will be buried in the earth, and their families will be compensated. After saying these words, Li Tie was still a little apprehensive, because he didn't know what these Sichuan army generals thought.

But it turned out that Li Tie thought too much, and the warlord atmosphere of the army at this time was too serious, so Liu Xiang's personal soldiers naturally listened to Liu Xiang's arrangement even more.

Of the 100,000 pro-army generals, none of them were willing to leave Li Tie and find another way. Everyone vowed to fight to the end with Izukawa and the Japanese army in order to inherit Liu Xiang's legacy.

After hearing the oath of Li Tie and the generals, Liu Xiang's wife unfolded the white cloth that Liu Xiang gave to Li Tie. I saw a poem written on this white cloth.

This was given to Liu Xiang by one of Liu Xiang's relatives, and asked Liu Xiang to hand over his son on his behalf, but the son of this clansman had already died in battle, and Liu Xiang was afraid that this clansman would be too sad to know that his son had died in battle, so he kept bringing this white cloth to his body.

Li Tie and the generals looked at the white cloth, and one by one burst into tears, everyone spread the white cloth on Liu Xiang's body, and bowed to Liu Xiang's body three times.

I saw a big word "death" written in the middle of the white cloth, and a four-character poem was written around this big word of death: "The national disaster is at the head, the Japanese are hideous, the country rises and falls, the husband has a share, I want to serve, and I have passed the age." Fortunately, I have a son, consciously ask for a pen, give a flag, always carry it, wipe the blood when injured, and wrap up after death. Go forward and don't forget your duty. Father's Hand. ”
