In February 1940, the Chinese people, who had just spent the Spring Festival, once again ushered in a new year since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Ching-wei was busy preparing for the establishment of a new puppet government, while the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were busy denouncing Wang Ching-wei's shameful act of defecting to the enemy.

At this time, the Nationalist Government was secretly channeling the political strategy of opposing the Communist Party and stifling the Communist Party, and on the other hand, it was still trying to lure the Red Army to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army.

The Japanese army had just experienced the defeat of the Battle of Changsha and was unable to launch a major battle in China in the short term.

At the beginning of the year, Germany was secretly planning its next attack, and weak Denmark had become a meal on Hitler's table.

Denmark was a very delicious slice of bread, but unfortunately Hitler had a good appetite lately, and the good mood of the past few days made the German Führer have a great appetite, and a small Denmark did not seem to be able to solve Hitler's hunger well, so poor Norway accidentally flew into Hitler's bowl.

After final discussions by the German staff group, Germany had already targeted Denmark and Norway for its next attack.

Far north, Stalin seems to have already discovered Hitler's ambitions, and he was calculating when the best time to attack Germany.

At the beginning of the year, after some careful consideration, Stalin decided that it was best to send troops when Germany and Britain and France were both defeated, or when Germany completely destroyed Britain and France, so he went out with a righteous army and attacked Germany from behind in one fell swoop.

Or when Britain and France defeated Germany, they fell into the trap and took the opportunity to annex Germany. In short, either way, he didn't need to worry about Germany now. He just had to wait for the good news as a bystander.

At this time, Japan suddenly found that it had fewer and fewer war resources to obtain, and the US government controlled the export of rubber and other strategic resources from countries such as the Philippines and Malaysia, and greatly reduced the war materials shipped to Japan.

The U.S. government has decided to halt the export of all important strategic resources to Japan in a year's time, including steel and rubber, which Japan is most in short supply.

After this astonishing news was transmitted back to Japan, it caused a great shock among the top Japanese leaders, and now the remarks of the top leaders in Japan who want to take advantage of the outbreak of the European war to give the Americans a look at it in one fell swoop have prevailed.

At the same time, in a small valley on the Sino-Vietnamese border, it was exactly 10 o'clock in the afternoon, and a team dressed as guerrillas was burying a pot and making food.

Soon the smoke was everywhere, and more than a dozen people were holding hot meals, drinking rice porridge, and talking happily in the valley.

"Comrade Hu Quang, crossing this valley is the boundary of our Vietnam, and as long as you can successfully return to Vietnam this time, I believe that the Viet Minh will succeed in its uprising under your wise leadership.

Now we have the support of China, as long as we defeat the French, we will be an independent country from now on. Our people have turned over and become masters. A young Vietnamese said excitedly.

"Comrade Li Xing, you have worked hard in the past few years, and it is because you are not afraid of sacrifice and hardship that you have carried forward the thinking of our Viet Minh.

I have been studying in China for the past two years, and I never imagined that the Vietminh would grow and develop under your leadership, and I never imagined that you would now have developed an armed force of 100,000 people.

Although these people are scattered all over the country and their weapons and equipment are very backward, I have also been greatly tempered in the ranks of the Chinese Red Army in recent years, and the Chinese Red Army has many successful experiences that can be used as a reference for us.

They have fought against the Nationalist Army for more than ten years with a mere force of tens of thousands, and now they have not only grown stronger, but they can even participate in cooperation with the Nationalist Government and resist Japan together. In China's territory, the Nationalist government was too strong for the Red Army to compromise.

But in our Vietnam, we don't have a strong competitor, as long as we can defeat the French, the French just don't want us Vietnamese to be independent. A small, but energetic old man said.

"Comrade Hu Guang, this is also the reason why we are particularly anxious to take you back to preside over the overall situation.

You don't know, in recent years, both the Japanese and the Chinese have vigorously infiltrated our Vietminh, and the Japanese want to support us behind our backs to drive out the French and support our nationhood.

However, the premise is that Vietnam will henceforth become their Japanese client state. The young man named Li Xing said.

"The Japanese think about the United States, if we obey the Japanese arrangement, we will make the low-level mistake of going to the tiger at the front door and driving the wolf at the back door." Hu Guang said.

"Yes, most of us Vietminh people think so, but there are also many people in our Vietminh who agree to join forces with the Japanese.

Now in our Viet Minh, we have been divided into two factions, one is as strong as we are to wage war with France on our own, defeat them, these invaders, and liberate the whole Vietnamese people.

There was also a faction that wanted to use the power of the Japanese to defeat France and finally kick Japan away.

The strength of the two factions is about the same now, and no one can convince anyone, and seeing that the differences between the two sides are getting bigger and bigger, there have been many incidents of misfire between the two sides. The young man said.

"That's why I'm in a hurry to go back to Vietnam, and I founded the Viet Minh single-handedly. I'm the only one who can settle the divide, but I'm actually more inclined to the third option. Hu Guang said.

"Is there a third way??" Li Xing asked.

"Yes, we can bring in the Chinese Red Army as well." Hu Guang said confidently.

"How is this possible? China and Japan are at war, and it is impossible for them to support us at the same time. Li Xing couldn't believe it.

"I know that China and Japan are at war now, but this is not in conflict with the fact that we have the help of both of them at the same time, and the Chinese side has come forward from the pro-China faction of the Vietminh to get as much military assistance as possible from the Chinese Red Army.

On the Japanese side, we in the Viet Minh sent pro-Japanese troops to ask for more military aid. I am confident that both countries will be generous to us. Hu Guang said.

"But wouldn't we be stepping on two boats like this? Once we finally drive out the French, and both China and Japan, which are helping us, will make corresponding political demands on us, how will we deal with them? Li Xing asked.

"There is no need to deal with it, when the time comes, we can divide the Vietminh into three, the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Republican Party of Vietnam, against China and Japan respectively.

Then I will secretly reorganize a new political party that represents the interests of all our Vietnamese people, such as the Workers' Party of Vietnam.

At that time, as long as the Workers' Party of Vietnam, which has nothing to do with China and Japan, gains power in Vietnam, we will naturally be able to give an account to China and Japan. Even if they knew that we were cheating, they could only break their front teeth and swallow it in their stomachs. Hu Guang said with a smile.

"High, really high, it's really a good strategy to count in one fell swoop. No wonder my young master admires you so much, and he has to let me pick you up in person. The young man also expressed his admiration for Hu Guang's old treacherous slippery.

"Hehe, what's this? When you live to my age, and when you have been away from home for so many years, and you live a life of precarious and humiliating hosts every day, you will naturally become very shrewd.

Ay? What did you mean by saying that you came to pick me up in person on the orders of your young master? Didn't you send you from the Vietminh Commission? And who is your young master? Hu Guang suddenly noticed that something seemed wrong with this person named Li Xing.

The young man did not answer Hu Guang's words, he took the hot porridge in his hand and pointed to the dozen or so guerrillas who had just drunk the hot porridge and fell to the ground to rest.

Hu Guang looked at it fixedly, and his heart was shocked, and he found that these guerrillas had all fallen to the ground and had long since lost their breath.

Just when Hu Guang was feeling bad, he suddenly felt dizzy, he looked at the young man in front of him, and his face was full of questions: "Who are you?" Why poison us? ”

"Don't worry, your porridge is not poison, just anesthetic. My young master wants to invite you to a good place. Oh! By the way, I might as well tell you now, my young master's name is Li Tie, anyway, you won't have a chance to tell this secret in your life. The young man smirked.

As soon as Hu Guang heard this, he lost consciousness in his brain. Then the young man shook his head to himself and shouted around the valley: "Stop watching the show, come out and deal with the scene." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw dozens of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and all armed suddenly emerge from the grass in the valley.

They came to the youth, first saluted them together, and then began to carry the bodies of a dozen guerrillas in front of them to various hidden places and dig pits and bury them.

As for Hu Guang, the old man, two sturdy soldiers carried him away on a stretcher.

At this time, a majestic-looking strong man came to the young man's side: "Tiedan, what is the origin of this person?" My uncle actually ordered me to preside over this operation, and even you, the big housekeeper of Huaxing, went out in person. ”

"Big brother Hei, it's not that I'm unkind, it's really that the young master has commanded, everything about this old man is a secret, I am only responsible for trapping this old man, and escorting this old man to the secret base in Hainan, I don't know anything else."

"Alas, forget it, my uncle has always done things imaginatively, where can we rough people guess. How many years has it been since the big brother of the black kill asked his uncle to send him to Manchuria? My brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. He wondered how they were doing?

Every day I hide in the poor countryside of Vietnam to train new soldiers, and if I don't move, I will die idle. Heida complained.

"Big brother Hei, don't worry, the young master said, the black cat operation has just begun, and soon our brothers from all over Southeast Asia will be useful.

Don't worry, with the ability of your Hei brothers, you will definitely be useful in the future, and the young master of my family will never bury your brother's great talent. Iron Egg smiled comforting Heida.

"Where am I complaining? Tie Dan, don't hurt me, if this reaches Uncle Qian's ears, she won't have to pick my skin. ”

After Hei Da finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that the thousand-tailed scorpion would hear it, he looked around nervously, and then quickly chased after the stretcher that carried Hu Guang, who was also responsible for escorting Hu Guang to personally board the merchant ship to Hainan.

When Tie Dan and Hei Da saw with their own eyes that the merchant ship that came to greet them hid Hu Guang in the bilge of the merchant ship, Tie Dan took out a portable radio station and sent a coded telegram to Li Tie in Hainan in ciphertext:

"The leader of the Viet Minh under the pseudonym Hu Guang has set off, and after investigation, he is indeed one of the founders of the Viet Minh, and he is also the only Viet Minh leader surnamed Hu, and from the perspective of age, height and physical appearance, he also meets the clues provided by the young master.

However, the only fly in the ointment is that this old man named Hu Guang does not seem to have an alias called Ho Chi Minh. ”
