Chapter 25: Friends
"Don't give me an answer right away, we'll come back to examine your wound in three days, I think you'll give me a correct answer" Rowling took Lina away, leaving Zhang Lan standing in the courtyard in a daze. Her current situation can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, she is indeed isolated, and they still talk to her from time to time in Macheng, and the content of the topics revolves around Zhang Lan's time in the county to recuperate from her injuries, and Zhang Lan is already tired of Macheng's distrust.
Rowling's appearance made Zhang Lan see another way, especially the heroic spirit when Rowling turned over and got on the horse, when Zhang Lan went to Yan'an with the same education, she just wanted to be a female warrior like Mulan. As a result, the world is unpredictable, she did not become Mulan, but became the object of suspicion by her comrades, Zhang Lan felt very aggrieved, she and Tang Lei had nothing at all, they had explained many times, but Ma Cheng just didn't believe it, now even those people in the guerrillas have scrutinizing eyes, maybe it would be a good choice to go to the county seat by yourself.
Zhang Dongkui took people away, and when he left, he also gave Sun Jinren a dismount, it turned out that he brought more than the dozens of people who entered the village, and there were more than 100 heavily armed soldiers hidden outside the village. "What did the two female medics tell you? Comrade Zhang Lan, you have to know that you are a party member, and you can't hide anything from the organization" Zhang Dongkui As soon as they left the village, Ma Cheng went to Zhang Lan's courtyard and asked Rowling what she said to Zhang Lan, not that Ma Cheng was not worried about Zhang Lan, but that he always felt that this matter was weird.
"I didn't say anything, they just came to check my wound and change the dressing" Zhang Lan pulled up her sleeves and showed the gauze she had just changed on her arm to show Ma Cheng, "Those two women are foreigners, they can only speak a little simple Chinese, what can they say to me" When Rowling and Lina left, they only covered their faces, but their long golden hair was exposed, and Ma Cheng naturally couldn't determine whether what Zhang Lan said was true or false.
"Well done, this method is indeed good" Zhao Zhi was greatly appreciated after learning about Roland's idea. Two telegrams have been sent to propose relatives, but the Eighth Route Army has not replied, and it is obvious that people are unwilling. Luo Lin's trick is very good, now she is not forcing Zhang Lan to marry Tang Lei, but asking Zhang Lan to manage the civil affairs of the county, of course, Thunder only welcomes Zhang Lan to come to the county seat alone, and those guerrillas or something should stay in Luoyan Mountain.
Zhao Zhi didn't want to turn his face with ***, but the Eighth Route Army couldn't treat Thunder as a weapons warehouse, and he always wanted to get weapons and ammunition from Zhao Zhi if he didn't want to pay, and he Zhao Zhi was not a saint. The reason why the weapons and ammunition captured in Shanxi on the first two occasions were allocated to the Eighth Route Army was because Zhao Zhi was not full of wings at that time, and there were only a few hundred people under his hands, but now it is different, and the military strength in his Zhao Zhi's hands is probably more than the number of the Eighth Route Army.
Not to mention the 100,000 Jewish troops in his hands and the more than 10,000 mercenaries who are being trained, the national legions that Chiang Kai-shek handed over to Zhao Zhi for training are enough for the Eighth Route Army to drink a pot, so Zhao Zhi doesn't want to give weapons to the Eighth Route Army in vain. If you want weapons, you can, you can exchange things for it, intelligence, tobacco, machinery and oil captured from the Japanese army, but if you want to take away the Japanese-style weapons captured by Zhao Zhi for nothing, it is absolutely impossible.
The reason why Zhao Zhi changed his attitude towards the Eighth Route Army was not because of Tang Lei's incident, but because Zhao Zhi's old acquaintance Sun Jin came again, he not only came empty-handed with a reinforced company of 200 people, but also brought a request from the Eighth Route Army, they wanted this reinforced company to train with Zhao Zhi's men. The last time Zhao Zhi defeated the Japanese 225th Infantry Wing outside Zhangwu County, although Sun Jin's battalion suffered heavy losses, the soldiers who survived and returned to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army all became elites, and the Eighth Route Army fought the same purpose this time.
Helping the Eighth Route Army train soldiers, Zhao Zhi has no objection, but he can't treat himself here as a big car shop, he can come and leave as he wants, Zhao Zhi's efforts will be rewarded. Maybe Sun Jin thought that he had dealt with Zhao Zhi many times, and after seeing Zhao Zhi, he wanted to take away the weapons and equipment equipped with his reinforced company, and Zhao Zhi was not a local tyrant and inferior gentry, so he would promise him and directly send Yu Dazhi to blast Sun Jin out of the barracks.
"The surname is Sun, you don't pee according to what kind of virtue you look like, such a big mouth, one mouth will be equipped with 200 weapons. Why should our people give you the weapons and ammunition they captured from the Japanese army, and have you helped? Yu Dazhi's words were very ugly, Sun Jin's face was crimson, it was not Sun Jin's idea to ask Zhao Zhi for weapons, it was the staff officers of the headquarters who coaxed Peng Dehuai to relax, and Sun Jin himself would not come if he was killed, and the last time Zhao Zhi was injured in Ping'an Town, it was inseparable from Sun Jin's subordinates.
"Okay, don't say it anymore, the friendship between us is long gone, you should leave the county seat quickly, tomorrow there will be a group of national troops stationed here, it doesn't seem that you are getting along very well, don't run to Mr. to complain" Yu Dazhi waved his hand to Sun Jin, like chasing flies. Telling Sun Jin that the troops of the national army are coming, even if it is the last friendship between Yu Dazhi and Sun Jin, as for what Sun Jin will do, it is not something that Yu Dazhi is worried about.
"Yu Dazhi, your tone is not small, Sun Jin is the company commander of our Eighth Route Army, you are very catchy" Yu Dazhi was just about to turn around and leave, and a familiar voice sounded in the group of people in the Eighth Route Army. Two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army with short guns in their waists dodged sideways, and Xie Xiuyun, who was dressed as the Eighth Route Army, walked slowly towards Yu Dazhi, who was in a sluggish state. The last time Yu Dazhi saw Xie Xiuyun was when he set up the Sleeper Training Camp in Xi'an, when Xie Xiuyun was still a staff member of the Xi'an Office of the Eighth Route Army.
"Comrade Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time" Yu Dazhi didn't know what position Xie Xiuyun was in the Eighth Route Army, but he didn't want to pretend not to see Xie Xiuyun's existence, so he had to use a more popular title. Yu Dazhi didn't know very well why Xie Xiuyun and Zhao Zhi were in the situation they are in today, but he knew that his husband had not played with Xie Xiuyun, and it was Xie Xiuyun who left Zhao Zhi and chose to go to Yan'an, Yu Dazhi guessed that time and distance were the reasons for all this.
Hearing Yu Dazhi call himself comrade, Xie Xiuyun paused slightly, and then continued to walk over to Yu Dazhi, "We came with sincerity, it's not that you only asked for weapons, it's you who said that you can exchange intelligence for weapons" When Xie Xiuyun walked over, Yu Dazhi had already noticed that she was straddled with a special document bag for the Japanese army, obviously Xie Xiuyun meant to refer to the document bag on her body.
"Of course, what my husband said has always worked, but I don't know if the information you brought is useful" Yu Dazhi didn't want to waste his mouth, but just gestured to the mercenaries guarding the barracks, asking them to open the gate and let the people of the Eighth Route Army enter the barracks. Since Xie Xiuyun is sending intelligence on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, Yu Dazhi naturally can't lock her outside the barracks, and the way of hospitality still has to be talked about, Rowling is an extremely particular person, even if she doesn't want to see Xie Xiuyun appear in the barracks.
"Wait a minute, I'll inform Mr. and Madam" Yu Dazhi brought Xie Xiuyun and Sun Jin back to the big house that served as the headquarters. Yu Dazhi's hard words made Xie Xiuyun a little stiff, once upon a time, Yu Dazhi and they were still calling themselves one lady at a time, but now it has only been two years, everything has completely changed, and now he has become Comrade Xie, but he already has a lady by his side, a woman who is willing to die for him.
"Dazhi, why don't you greet people for tea when you come to the guests, don't make people laugh at us, we don't know how to be hospitable" After waiting for a while, Zhao Zhi didn't appear, but the smiling Rowling came. There is no hostility, no scrutiny, there is only peace in Rowling's face and eyes, Rowling dressed as a mercenary looks very natural, she and this command are like one, but Xie Xiuyun is like sitting on pins and needles, this is not the first time she and Rowling have met, but the peaceful Rowling has put pressure on her.
"I'm not used to calling you comrades, I'll just call you Miss Xie by a Western-style title" Rowling took the teapot that Lina brought in, and personally poured tea for Xie Xiuyun and Sun Jin, "My husband is arranging other things, he may not be able to come for a while, if there is anything, you and I will say the same, I think I can be this family, after all, I am also one of the shareholders of Thunder"
Although Rowling looks very peaceful on the surface, she is actually not ordinarily strong, and she has already taken the initiative in just a few words, forcing Xie Xiuyun and Sun Jin to be led by her nose. The dispute in Yu Dazhi's imagination did not appear, and Zhao Zhi, who was entangled in trivial matters, never appeared, and for a long hour, Rowling was discussing matters with Xie Xiuyun, and Yu Dazhi and Sun Jin were completely here to set up for the occasion.
"Zhao Zhi doesn't hate you, he knows that it is difficult for people like you to change their beliefs, and Zhao Zhi admires people like you very much who insist on their beliefs, I think maybe we will become very good friends in the future" When sending Xie Xiuyun and them out of the barracks, Rowling whispered something to Xie Xiuyun. Sometimes the power of tolerance is far more powerful than erasing everything, Xie Xiuyun's existence is a fact, and Rowling can't erase Zhao Zhi's memory, so she chooses tolerance instead of hostility to Xie Xiuyun.
"Thank you for telling me this" Xie Xiuyun hugged Luo Lin gently, a string of tears quietly slipped down, her father and brother died in the hands of the Japanese, all of which made Xie Xiuyun have to hide her personal emotions in her heart, the belief in her heart is the driving force to support Xie Xiuyun's survival, she doesn't want to change, so she can only give up the relationship with Zhao Zhi.
