XXXVIII. Must be clear-cut

The director said to Fazi: "Your daughter Jinling has already told me about your situation. It's a good thing that you leave the army and want to go outside because you don't want to fight a civil war. We've got your back. We are also not willing to fight a civil war. Those who want to fight a civil war are unpopular. Opposition to civil war is the will of the people and the desire of the army.

For the sake of peace, Chairman Mao personally went to Chongqing to negotiate, hoping to establish a peaceful and democratic New China. It is hoped that the people will elect China's leaders. In order to show our sincerity, we changed the name of the units that had been called the People's Liberation Army to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. I don't say these things, but you know it.

"It's been more than ten days since you left the army and went to Nanjing. In the days since you left the unit, your unit has changed quite a bit, and the representative sent to your unit has been appointed deputy brigade commander. Your special battalion was reorganized into a special service regiment, and the regiment commander and the expanded army were transferred from the Central Army, under the command of the deputy brigade commander. A new howitzer artillery regiment was added, and they were also commanded by the deputy brigade commander. ”

Fazi said: "What you say is the truth, I already know these things. You know my troops in great detail! Can you tell me why. The chief said: "And you, three days ago you were promoted to lieutenant general and commander of the independent brigade." Send someone to your unit to read the letter of appointment. To tell you the truth, the leaders asked me to come to Nanjing because of you. ”

Hair suppressed a smile and said, "I don't understand what you mean. The Commissioner said, "Yes." I am here for your safety. Can you understand. ”

Fazi lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Promoting me to lieutenant general is to better control me." Expand my forces in order to empty me. The deputy brigade commander is not an idle person, he wants to replace me all the time. Yesterday I had a phone call with my mother, and it was a secret phone. My mother told me that the control over my mother and me had been tightened against the troops, and that it was no longer possible to go abroad. The troops began to move to the front, and the mother set off with the second group. There is no way to contact you in the future. She wanted me to go back to the army and take control. I'm afraid that I can't control the situation and it's in danger. She means the best way to go. I also told me that someone came to Nanjing for my safety, and that I could trust them after meeting. Is Mother talking about you? ”

The director said, "The first step after I come to Nanjing is to find you. Follow the address provided by your mother to find your home, where you are building a lot of work. The housekeeper doesn't know where you are. We find your place to live through relationships. I found that the agents are keeping an eye on you. We immediately looked at options for your protection. I didn't expect you to come today. ”

Fako said, "It was Akiko who mentioned you, and she trusted you very much. There is nothing wrong with the people she trusts, and before I came, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see you when I came to you today. I hope you can help us out. The commissioner said, "I have no problem helping you get out." The problem is that your mother is going to the front line, your mother is a second-tier person, she can not go to the front line, but the above named her to go to the front line, what does it mean! They're forcing you to come back, and if you don't, they're going to force your mother to take charge. Ask her to command the army in battle. Your mother is reluctant to fight a civil war. What will be the consequences of not wanting her troops to go to the front.

"For the sake of her son's safety, the mother hopes that you will leave her alone, it is best for you to go out, and it is human nature for the mother to sacrifice herself for the sake of her son. Every mother does that. I don't know if you've thought about it. You are gone, what will happen to your army. What about your mother, what about your brigade chief of staff, what about the commander of the 123rd regiment, what about the officers and soldiers who follow you. They have moved to the front, and you can't bear to watch them go to fight a civil war. Become cannon fodder. ”

Fazi said, "You mean you want me to go back, what can I do if I go back." Go and command my troops to stop advancing. The first one above killed me. And they will take my people and bury them with me. Then the deputy brigade commander takes my place, and he will command my men to perish in the civil war. I am not a savior, and I don't have the power to turn the tide. ”

The chief said, "I heard that you were promoted to squad leader on your first day in the army. It's because your troops are attacking the devils. You take the lead in singing to boost morale. You won the battle. You've become a legend ever since. Now that you are not in the army, your mother, and the brigade chief of staff cannot command the troops, and the command is temporarily in the hands of the deputy brigade commander. The headache was the deputy brigade commander and his special service group. He's using the Secret Service Corps to control your three regiments. He replaced his man with the excuse that the commander of your direct battalion was sick. The brigade chief of staff was in a hurry. He couldn't deal with the deputy brigade commander and his special service group. Only you can mobilize this force, and you can deal with the deputy brigade commander and his special service group. ”

Fako said, "I also thought that I should be with my brothers for their sake." But it's hard for me. Disobedience to military orders is punishable by death. I have the strength of a brigade. Against their army of millions, I have no better way or the greatest ability to deal with them. ”

"It's not terrible to have an army of millions, it's terrible that you don't see the power of the people," said the commissioner. I don't see what people want. Your officers and men all hope that you will go back, and only when you go back can they have courage and hope. in order to follow you to the light. It's like you're singing songs on the battlefield to inspire warriors to fight the enemy.

"Think about it, this army was started by your grandfather against foreigners, you did not submit to the Qing Dynasty, and always held high the banner of anti-imperialism and fought against the local army of the Qing Dynasty for several years. The Republic of China is over, the warlords want to eat you, you fight with the warlords, and the more you fight, the stronger you get. After the Northern Expedition, you lowered your banner and surrendered to the Republic of China. In the War of Resistance, you fight devils in the front and retreat in the rear. Your troops, your soldiers, from life to death, follow you. You shouldn't leave them behind.

"You can also see the current situation very clearly, Lao Jiang sent troops to the front line, and a civil war is imminent. If you want to avoid the civil war, you can't avoid it. You want to leave the army and go abroad, I helped you get out, and after you calm down, you will regret being unfilial to your mother and disloyal to your troops, and when you see your soldiers become cannon fodder, you will blame yourself for the rest of your life. There is no middle ground on this issue. This is a major issue of right and wrong, and we must take a clear-cut stand in the face of major issues of right and wrong. Have you considered this? ”

Hair was silent. In the face of major rights and wrongs, he must take a clear stand, and this sentence awakened him. For his own safety, he left behind his mother and his comrades-in-arms who shared life and death with him. This is not who he is. When the civil war was about to break out, he was unwilling to fight the civil war and did not dare to disobey the orders from above, he was in a dilemma, he wanted to escape, he wanted to hide, this was not his character.

My grandfather did not submit to the iron will of the Qing Dynasty, my uncle was not afraid of the warlords' rape and held high his banner, and my mother thought about how to keep the troops from fighting a civil war and not being in danger. And I think about my personal safety.

He lowered his head and felt so ashamed, he really wanted to slap himself. Since the investigation team was stationed in the unit, the company commander of the first regiment was secretly arrested, and he was afraid. I want to run away. It's a shame to want to slip away. He said to the Commissioner, "I understand what you said. I'm not going out, I'm going back to the troops, I'm going to lead my officers and soldiers out of the quagmire of civil war. I'm accountable to them. The Republic of China is unreliable, and I want to change the flag. What I can't rest assured about now is Mingzi, she is an unsung hero of the anti-Japanese resistance, she was injured like this by the devil, I have no way to take her abroad for treatment, after I leave Nanjing, the spies will definitely find her trouble. I'm so worried about her. ”

The director said, "Don't worry, she was already a soldier of the Eighth Route Army before you entered this room. I'm going to take a military doctor to the Soviet Union for treatment after I'm done with your business, she bit her tongue and killed herself after being captured by the devils, she didn't die, she was saved by the nuns in Santaidong. Although she survived, her speech was not clear. There was no way to heal her during the war, and now she is victorious. We must heal her. I immediately reported Wang Mingming's situation to my superiors, and I took Jinling's daughter to the Soviet Union for treatment. You can rest assured. ”

Fako said, "Thank you, you polished my eyes." I felt so relaxed and so strong. Once the goal is clear, all other problems will be solved. I'm going to take the train back today. When I got back, I knew what to do. I handed Akiko over to you. (To be continued......)
