Coster Manor, Fulton City, Missouri, USA.

Churchill stood on the balcony on the second floor, gazing out at the endless fields, the end of the sky, covered with a bewildered greenery.

Early spring was supposed to be vibrant, but in Churchill's eyes, the whole world was in turmoil and gloom.

Where should Britain go? Where can it go?

After the end of the wartime cabinet and the beginning of the election, Churchill was full of confidence, expecting that he would be 100% elected with unparalleled prestige, but unexpectedly, he suffered a crushing defeat.

"To be ungrateful to their great men is the mark of a great nation."

These are the words of the ancient Greek writer Plutarch, who was quoted by Churchill after his defeat.

It was Churchill who said it, but it was not in his heart, in fact, he was extremely disappointed in his country, in his people.

Labour leader Clement? Attlee is a clown, he has no idea how serious the problems facing Britain are, and he doesn't know how to lead LinkedIn out of the crisis, but the clown has defeated great heroes with beautiful words.

Welfare society, that's why Atellee's clown defeated him.

There is no hope for a nation that cannot endure hardship, such a nation has a fart greatness, but, after all, this is his nation, and he has no choice.

Back at his desk and sitting down, Churchill picked up the pen.

One by one, letters fell on the white paper, and each letter weighed a thousand pounds.

When he finally finished writing, Churchill leaned back in his chair, as if all his strength had been exhausted, and he looked at the speech he had written, with anger, unwillingness, and more helplessness in his eyes.

He was Truman's gun, and Britain was American's gun, which was humiliating, but, there was no way.

The Soviets were too greedy not only to be aggressive in Eastern Europe, but also in the Middle East.

Iran, the most important British colony, had extremely large interests, but the Soviet Union flagrantly violated the 1943 Anglo-Russian-Iranian Agreement signed between the two countries and refused to withdraw from northern Iran.

The Anglo-Russian-Iranian Agreement clearly stipulated that Soviet troops must withdraw from northern Iran within six months after the war, but now, instead of withdrawing from northern Iran, the Soviet Union will continue to advance.

Britain no longer has the strength to stop the Soviet Union alone, and must push the Americans out, but although the Americans can't ask for this, the Americans are the most shameless bitches in the world, and they will not be satisfied with all this.

The next day, March 23, at ten o'clock in the morning, at Westminster College, Churchill stood in front of the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the United States is at the pinnacle of world power at this moment. It was a solemn moment for American Crush. To have the greatest power is to have an awesome responsibility for the future. Looking around, you not only feel that you have fulfilled your responsibilities, but also feel worried that your future achievements may not reach such a high level. For both of you and us, there is now an opportunity to be here, a clear, shining opportunity. If we reject, ignore, or squander, this opportunity will be condemned for a long time to come. ”

.................. "From Stettin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, an iron curtain has been lowered across the European continent. Behind this line sits the capitals of the ancient countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia – all these famous cities and their inhabitants were within the sphere of Soviet influence, and were not only subject to Soviet influence in one form or another, but also under the increasing high-pressure control of Moscow. Only Athens, radiating its immortal brilliance, freely decided its future under the on-the-spot observation of Britain, the United States, and France. ”

.................. "Please do not underestimate the ability of the British Empire and the Commonwealth to hold out. …… If the population of the United States were to be added to the population of the English-speaking Commonwealth, and to the air, sea, science, and industry involved in such a partnership, there would be no precarious and unreliable balance of power that would make careerists and adventurers uncomfortable. …… If all the moral and material forces and convictions of England were to be fraternally united with yours, it would be certain that it would bring a great future not only to us, to our time, but also to all men, and to the century to come. ”

On the side, Truman, who accompanied Churchill on the visit, was overjoyed, and Churchill succumbed, which meant that the British Empire succumbed.

Of course, neither Churchill nor the British Empire will be willing to give in, but it doesn't matter, this is a point of no return, since you have taken the first step or the second step, then don't think about turning back.

The United States is very strong now, but if effective measures are not taken, the strength of the United States will only be temporary, and once Europe eases up and becomes strong again, the United States will be marginalized and will be surpassed by Europe again.

If the United States wants not to be marginalized and overtaken by Europe, the best and most secure way is to control Europe in their hands, but to control Europe in the hands of the Americans, it is far from enough to rely on American GIs.

The Soviet Union was the best helper to help them control Europe.

With the USSR as their enemy, they could both divide the whole of Europe into two big blocks, capitalist Europe and [***] Europe, and at the same time allow them to easily keep capitalist Europe firmly in their hands.

The purpose of inviting Churchill to visit the United States this time is to use Churchill's mouth to say things that are inconvenient for the US political axe to say.

There are always a few visionary people, not to mention ordinary people, and even the leaders of political circles have many idealists who oppose the break with the Soviet Union.

Public opinion must first be created, and this is the role of Churchill's speech.

Looking at the passionate Churchill, Truman felt that Churchill was indeed a capable person, and the British prime minister should still give Churchill a suitable job.

――――Han Yuan.

After carefully reading the famous Iron Curtain speech by the great Comrade Churchill, Han Lihong felt extremely comfortable, and the general trend was the general trend, and it did not change because of his outright birth.

It's good that it hasn't changed, as long as the Cold War is together, he has the opportunity to be a shrinking turtle on the side, otherwise, he can't even be a shrinking turtle if he wants to.

In order to deal with China, despite the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union can still reach a consensus, but it does not matter, as long as their main forces are used against each other, it does not matter how much consensus is reached.

-- With the publication of Churchill's Iron Curtain speech, a great debate began in the United States.

In the White House, in the office, Truman grinned.

Truman had a headache, and it was not the common people who had a headache, but other important figures, and he did not expect that there would be so many people who opposed the break with the Soviet Union.

In a word, although the United States was not affected by the war, many people were frightened by other tragic events around the world, especially the emergence of the atomic bomb.

No one doubts that the USSR will soon be able to create an atomic bomb.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Secretary of State Dulles walked in in a huff.

Arriving in front of Truman, Dulles handed over a telegram.

Truman was startled when he received the telegram, he had never seen such a long telegram, and it seemed to be seven or eight thousand words.

The telegram was the US chargé d'affaires in Moscow, George? Kennan sent it.

The telegram was too long, but Truman sank into it at once, not only did he not feel long, but he felt too short, and when he finished reading it, he still had a feeling of unfinished business.

Genius, genius!

Timely rain, timely rain!

Kennan claimed in the telegram that the Soviet Union did not believe in the possibility of peaceful coexistence between the [***] world and the capitalist world, arguing that at the heart of the Kremlin's neurotic view of international affairs was an instinctive Russian insecurity with Marxist dogma that made Soviet expansionism more dangerous and cunning than ever.

The implication of Kennan's analysis is striking: if Soviet foreign policy was not a response to events in the outside world, but merely the result of the interaction of conditions within the Soviet Union, then no matter what the United States did, it would not eliminate Soviet hostility to the West.

As a result, Kennan's proposed policy can be summed up in one word: "containment."

Kennan is a talent, definitely a talent, and talent has to be reused without delay, Truman immediately ordered Kennan's telegraph to be sent to everyone who needed to see it.

No one could have imagined that the impact of Kennan's long telegram would be almost immediate, and the trend of public opinion in the US government and opposition would be reversed.

-- In the thin morning light, a soldier ran into the field with a strict pace and ran onto the cement platform.

In the center of the concrete platform, the soldier paused, turned to face the rising horizon, and then, with his right hand, took the trumpet hanging from his waist and pressed it to his lips.

The young soldier's face was like iron, his eyes were like cold stars, his cheeks were slightly bulging, and then the sound of the military horn like a golden iron horse resounded through the silent world.

As the loud sound of the military horn resounded through the heavens and the earth, one after another figures flowed out of the door and flowed towards the camp.

In three minutes, forty soldiers, thirty men, and ten women stood in front of the cement platform.

In the morning light, every face is so young, but every face is so firm, without the slightest hint of morning fatigue.

When the last drop of water settled, the loud sound of the trumpet still lingered in the heavens and the earth, and the trumpeter had already turned into a drop of water and melted into the stream of murderous water.

At some point, an officer stood beside the concrete platform.

The officer walked up to the cement platform.

The officer was not very old, only twenty-seven or eighteen, and his face was like copper cast iron.

"Who are you?!" Staring at the forty soldiers, the officer suddenly shouted angrily.

"Chinese!!!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound went straight to Xiaohan, this is another kind of Jin Ge Iron Horse, but it conveys the same spirit.

"Raise the flag!" The officer snapped.

In the shouts of the officers, the bright five-star red flag slowly rose in the morning light, and the passionate "March of the Volunteers" shook the sky.

A new day begins, intense study and training.

Today is Saturday and training ends early.

At four o'clock, Zhang Yunze appeared at the gate of the training camp without a point.

At ten o'clock, Li Changhai came out in a jeep, he stopped outside the gate and let Zhang Yunze get into the car.

Li Changhai is Zhang Yunze's instructor and the life-saving benefactor of Zhang Yunze and his sister Zhang Yunlan.

Five years ago, Zhang Yunze was thirteen years old, his parents and family were killed by the enemy, and only Zhang Yunze and his sister Zhang Yunlan escaped.

In order to escape the pursuit, Zhang Yunze fled to Yunnan with his sister and became two little beggars.

Although Zhang Yunze is young, his surname is extremely wild, and he protects his younger sister like a wolf, stealing and fighting in order to feed his stomach, and does everything.

Li Changhai is a person from Han Litao's system, subordinate to the Yunnan Bureau, he was in Yunnan at the time, and his task was to find people and find those who were suitable for training.

Li Changhai met Zhang Yunze by chance, so he brought the brother and sister back, and even gained Zhang Yunze's trust, and after knowing the life experience of the brother and sister, they became the focus of training.

Three years ago, Li Changhai was ordered to bring Zhang Yunze and Zhang Yunlan back to Yanjing and enter this special training camp.

Li Changhai is the life-saving benefactor of Zhang Yunze's brothers and sisters, Li Changhai has made a fundamental change in the fate of Zhang Yunze's brothers and sisters, and Zhang Yunze's brothers and sisters are also noble people to Li Changhai, because of Zhang Yunze's brothers and sisters, Li Changhai himself and the situation of the whole family have also changed greatly.

Li Changhai is a native of Qingyuan County, and he can be incorporated into Han Litao's system, so he is naturally not an ordinary person, but in the system, Li Changhai is very ordinary.

Because of Zhang Yunze's brothers and sisters, Li Changhai is no longer ordinary, although his position has not changed much, he has always been Zhang Yunze's instructor in charge, but his salary has steadily improved.

The biggest benefit Li Changhai obtained was that his family moved from Qingyuan to the suburbs of Yanjing and got 30 acres of land.

In the entire system of the Black God Army, the greatest reward and glory is this.

In the special zone within a radius of several dozen miles outside Yanjing City, except for those who are powerful and famous, almost all ordinary peasant households are military dependents, and most of them are the families of those who died in battle.

This is paradise, where you can worry about almost anything.

The weather at the beginning of June, especially at dusk, was neither cold nor hot, and it was extremely comfortable to sit in the jeep with a wisp of fresh breeze.

The view is stunning.

Everywhere there are colorful flowers, all kinds of fruit trees, green grass, and shiny streams...... And, people.

The people here, whether they are old people or children, whether they are men or women, the expressions on everyone's faces are so comfortable and happy.

People are the most beautiful scenery here.

The entire city of Dayan is a unique and largest garden in the world, which is both wild and orderly.

There are no farmers in the suburbs within a radius of dozens of miles, and all the crops are melons, fruits and vegetables.

It may not be the best in the world, but it is certainly the most expensive in the world.

Zhang Yunze doesn't like to talk, he keeps staring at the scenery outside the car, and he never seems to be able to get enough.

The road is all concrete, and the path between the fields is not wide, only five meters, and most of it is covered with weeds.

After a while, the jeep drove into a large peach orchard, and Li Changhai's home was in the peach orchard.

There are not only Li Changhai's family and parents, two minor younger siblings, but also Li Changhai's two brothers and sisters who have a family, all of whom have borrowed Li Changhai's light.

This is a large family, there are more than 20 people, there are two streams in the peach orchard meandering through, in the peach orchard to form a half-acre pond, and then divided into two streams to flow out of the peach orchard.

There is a small pier on the side of the pond by the roadside, which is made of wooden planks, two meters wide, and three or four meters deep into the pond.

On the dock, there were three fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls reading books, but they were not very attentive and always looked into the distance from time to time.

When the jeep appeared, there was a hula, and the three little girls jumped up and headed towards the jeep.

Zhang Yunze smiled, he saw his sister Yunlan.

My younger sister lives in Li Changhai's house, and Li Changhai's younger sister Li Changxin is in the third year of junior high school in No. 8 Middle School.

The training camp is extremely strict, and the siblings can only see each other on Saturdays and Sundays every week.

There is no one in the family, they are all busy in the restaurant at the southern end of Taoyuan.

In this large garden, there is no concept of a village, and they are all scattered by families, but they are not too far apart, and most of them are only two or three hundred meters.

In addition to planting fruit trees and vegetables and raising livestock, many families here also have skills and also open restaurants, such as Li Changhai's family.

Today is Saturday, and there are a lot of tourists, so it is very busy.

Those who can live in the capital are those who serve the rich, and those outside the capital are also rich in the eyes of those outside the capital.

If you have money, you will have leisure, and you will have leisure, not to mention, there are so many universities outside the city, and those college students are more fun, so on weekends, it seems that the whole Yanjing City has come to the countryside to play.

After finishing their homework, the brother and sister met again, and Zhang Yunlan took Li Changxin to the restaurant to help.

The two sisters went to help, and Li Changhai said, "Yun Ze, let's go out for a walk." ”

Li Changhai was a little strange today, and Zhang Yunze followed Li Changhai to the peach orchard.

It's quiet in the peach orchard.

The peach orchard is divided into two parts, one part of which visitors can enter at will, and the other part is not allowed to enter.

Zhang Yunze silently followed Li Changhai's side, and after walking for a while, Li Changhai stopped, looked at Zhang Yunze, and asked, "Yunze, do you still want to take revenge?" ”

After being stunned for a moment, a spark popped out of Zhang Yunze's eyes, and he said, "Of course I want to take revenge." ”

No one had ever told Zhang Yunze that, but at some point, he had a thought in his heart: his life was no longer his own.

Therefore, although he never forgot the tragic death of his parents for a moment, after having this thought, he never mentioned the word "revenge" again.

"Yun Ze, I have a task for you."

"You say."

"You are going to be the king of the Shan State."

"Really?"

Li Changhai nodded.

Zhang Yunze's body was trembling, becoming the king of the Shan State, revenge is naturally a trivial matter.

――――On June 7, Zhang Yunze returned to his hometown, he gathered his relatives, and soon washed away the enemy's family, and then inherited his father's position as Tusi.
