Chapter 30: The End of the Crossbow
King Ryu was a little displeased, the Japanese pay the most attention to dignity and humility, although Yan Qingyu and him are friends, but the identity gap is still there after all, but due to the current situation, he still slowly walked behind Yan Qingyu and helped him hammer twice.
"What, haven't you eaten enough rice balls? The strength is so small. Yan Qingyu had to inch in, and actually scolded.
The king of the royal ryu used ten percent of his strength, and went down with two fists, and with a bang, Yan Qingyu gasped and jumped up: "Baga, do you want to kill someone." ”
"Okay Yansang, don't make any more trouble, you drank too much wine, go back to sleep quickly." King Ryu suppressed his anger and said.
Yan Qingyu said: "Lao Tzu will sleep here tonight." ”
King Ryu changed color: "Yan Sang, what do you mean?" ”
Yan Qingyu glanced at him: "Go and wash your buttocks." ”
"Yaga!" King Ryu's temples jumped suddenly, and finally he couldn't hold it back, and punched him, he was a weak scholar, how could he be Yan Qingyu's opponent, and when he was held down his wrist, the four big mouths fanned over, crackling, and his mouth was fishy.
King Ryu was furious, and used all his strength to hit him headlong, Yan Qingyu easily dodged away, and touched his ass instead: "Hehe, it's quite warped." ”
"Are you crazy, I'm going to kill you!" King Ryu pounced again, back and forth several times, he didn't even touch Yan Qingyu's clothes, but he was tired and panting, sat on the ground and rested for a while: "Yan Sang, I didn't expect you to have this kind of hobby, I really can't serve you, it's better to help you find a beautiful boy after I go back." ”
Yan Qingyu said: "Actually, you want to trick me back to Shanghai first, and then kill me, right?" ”
King Ryū, who was guessed to be thinking, smiled bitterly: "I really can't hide it from you, I want to kill you, and you dare to insult me." ”
Yan Qingyu leaned over, the tip of his nose almost touching the tip of the nose of King Ryu, his eyes staring at him tightly.
King Guryu felt oppressed, but he didn't move, glaring angrily.
Yan Qingyu said softly: "Not only do I want to insult you, but I also want to occupy your wife, kill your father, rob your property, and let your children recognize me as their father, how about it?" Angry? Come and hit me. ”
King Ryu rose up again, picked up the lamp and smashed it, Yan Qingyu dodged and avoided it, kicked him in the back of the heart, Yu Sang hit the wall headlong, blood flowed from his forehead, staring at Yan Qingyu viciously, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Suddenly, Yan Qingyu said, "Yusang, let's make peace." ”
King Ryū couldn't believe his ears: "Yaga, what are you talking about, are you crazy, you can make peace when you say it, and you can make peace when you say it, are you teasing me?" ”
Yan Qingyu said: "That's right, don't you Japanese fight if you want to, and make peace if you want to?" Since the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, which time was it not you who provoked trouble first, beat the Qing Dynasty to the knees and begged for mercy, lost money and ceded the land, forced the president Yuan Shikai into a corner, promised to betray the country 21 articles, blew up Zhang Xueliang's father to death, turned his face and fooled people to say that reunification was not allowed, and made Pu Yi the emperor, just like the dogs raised by the Japanese, Nanjing killed hundreds of thousands of people, Chongqing killed hundreds of thousands of people, Shanghai killed hundreds of thousands of people, Yusang, I will bully you lightly, you can't stand it, let alone such a blood feud! ”
King Ryu suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be grateful, Yan Qingyu was not crazy, he was educating himself with practical actions, and the peace talks would not succeed.
"Mine understood, thank you." King Goryu bowed solemnly.
……
King Ryu returned in vain and took a plane back to Shanghai.
Originally, according to Xia Xiaoqing's intentions, Yan Qingyu was asked not to go back, but he insisted on going back to Shanghai, saying that even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den, he would go back, because his responsibility was there.
Before leaving, Yan Qingyu handed over a small suitcase to her sister and said, "Here are some of my things, help me save them, if anything happens, donate them to the bereaved families of the martyrs who died in the anti-Japanese war." ”
The propeller of the plane was already turning, and Xia Xiaoqing nodded vigorously: "Got it." ”
Yan Qingyu pressed the top hat, bent down and ran to the plane, got into the hatch, and the transport plane taxied for a distance and flew to the east...... Phew. ”
Reaching out to carry the suitcase on the ground, Xia Xiaoqing's hand strength didn't move, and when he opened it with curiosity, he saw that the dazzling golden yellow was full of big strips! Hurriedly closed the box and dragged it home.
After arriving home, take a closer look, there are gold bricks with the logo of Citibank, a large strip cast by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China, and a small yellow croaker privately cast by Qian Zhuang, a total of more than 1,000 taels.
Yan Qingyu made some money when he was a movie star in his early years, but he was so delicious and gambled, and he also supported little stars, he ate early and failed, and after a few years in the puppet government, he actually saved a thousand taels of gold, Xia Xiaoqing finally understood why his younger brother was unwilling to stay in Chongqing.
It's such an easy place to fish, and no one is willing to leave.
After King Ryu and Yan Qingyu returned to Shanghai, of course, in order to fool their superiors, he made up a bunch of dazzling lies, claiming that he had contacted the highest authorities in Chongqing and was actively organizing the next talks, and in turn applied to the prime minister for a large amount of "confidential fees." ”
After another month, Stilwell was finally relieved of his duties, and the incident also brought Sino-American relations to a freezing point.
Due to the fact that Japan launched Operation No. 1, the Kuomintang army lost troops and lost a large area of land, Chiang Kai-shek asked to suspend the Burma operation and transfer the Chinese expeditionary force stationed in Yunnan to resist the Japanese attack, Stilwell was furious, saying that Peanut Rice did not need to use dozens of elite divisions to encircle northern Shaanxi, and had to use the expeditionary force, resolutely refused, and threatened to arm dozens of divisions of the Eighth Route Army and no longer use the Kuomintang army.
Roosevelt also wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, the wording was extremely tough, and Chiang Kai-shek was furious, saying that the United States had a bad attitude and absurd wording, which had damaged China's national character and its own personality, and that the Chinese people were willing to be friends with the United States, but they were by no means willing to be slaves of the United States.
Relations between the two sides deteriorated to this point, which was particularly detrimental to the anti-fascist cause, and in order to take the overall situation into consideration, Roosevelt finally relented, recalled Stilwell, and newly appointed General Weidemeyer as chief of staff of the Chinese theater.
Chiang Kai-shek finally got his wish, and at this time he showed the slick hand of a statesman, and he announced that he would award Stilwell the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, and named the military highway built on the Yunnan front "Stilwell Highway". ”
However, these could not restore Chiang Kai-shek's bad image in the eyes of foreign journalists, after Stilwell left, various media in China slandered and slandered the chairman, claiming that this was a victory for the dying anti-** regime, and that the Kuomintang regime had rotten and died, suggesting that the United States should stop supporting Chiang Kai-shek and turn to a free and progressive ***.
Chiang Kai-shek knew all this, but the authorities' censorship system was ineffective against foreigners, so he could only endure it.
At the end of 1944, the war situation took a sharp turn for the worse, Quanzhou, Wuzhou, Liuzhou, and Guilin in Guangxi fell one after another, all 36 air bases in Hunan and Guangxi were lost, and countless military and civilian property losses were lost.
I thought that Japan was a grasshopper after the autumn, but I didn't expect to become a giant bear that woke up from hibernation, and the people of Chongqing were panicked, and they couldn't survive all day long, but they survived for seven years, but they didn't expect that in 1944, which was about to see the dawn, they would face the threat of death again.
Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to transfer the southern part of Hu Zong, who surrounded northern Shaanxi, to Guizhou, and return the Burmese expeditionary force to Kunming, and at the same time to prepare to defend Chongqing, and at this time the British and Soviet embassies had begun to evacuate overseas Chinese.
The salon of ** people in Chongqing is still held every week, and everyone asks Chen Zikun for his views on the war situation, and General Chen only has one sentence: "At the end of the strong crossbow, return to the light." ”
His remarks are well-founded, the Japanese are just dying in Chinese mainland, not because they are strong, but because China has exhausted its mountains and rivers, the outstanding elements in the army have lost all their strength, and they are unable to fight a war, and Japan's main battlefield is not in China, but in the Pacific Ocean.
In many fierce battles in the Pacific Ocean, Japan failed, especially the decisive battle of Leyte Gulf, the main force of the Japanese Navy and Air Force suffered heavy losses, and Leyte Island alone was annihilated by 110,000! The U.S. military's B29 Super Fortress bomber used the Saipan base to bomb Tokyo, which was far more tragic than the bombing of Chongqing that year, and the pain that Japan inflicted on China was retributed ten times more on itself.
Sure enough, the Japanese army stormed for a period of time and then had no stamina, but the US Army landed in Fujian and Guangdong, coupled with the opening of the Stilwell Highway, China called on intellectual youth to join the army, just one month conscripted 120,000 young students into the youth army, the momentum was great, the situation gradually improved belongs to Chen Zikun Medal belatedly, the United States Department of War awarded him the Distinguished Service Medal, which is the highest honor of the Army, second only to the Congressional Medal of Honor, the medal was awarded by Weidmeier on behalf of the United States Army, this medal brought Chen Zikun not only honor, There is also the legend, his performance on Omaha Beach was interpreted by intellectuals who are good at association to the point of superbness, saying that he was Eisenhower's military division, and that Operation Overlord was actually commanded by Chen Zikun, and Roosevelt once sent a secret telegram to exchange the equipment of 100 divisions for Chen Zikun, but Chairman Chiang politely declined Yunyun.
For a time, Chen Zikun became famous, and faintly became a representative figure of the Kuomintang Department of Internal Affairs, the strength of the Department of Political Science was stronger than that of Song Qingling, Yu Youren, Lin Sen and other veterans, and weaker than Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Huang Shaohong's Xingui Department.
……
Chongqing, the official residence of the chairman of the committee, Dai Li put a secret report on Chiang Kai-shek's desk and said softly: "Principal, this is the list of the recent gathering of Chen Zikun and his gang, as well as the minutes of the meeting, please take a look." ”
Chiang Kai-shek closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Take it, I won't look at it." ”
Dai Li's heart said Isn't this what you asked me to collect and sort out, how did I get it and didn't look at it, they all said that the king is like a tiger, the king is moody, it is difficult to guess, the ancients are honest and I don't deceive, but he has already put himself in the right position, the military commander is the same as the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, he is the leader's minion, and those ministers are different, there is no personality at all, he was about to put away the report, but Chiang Kai-shek opened his eyes: "Put it down, you go out." ”
"Yes." Dai Lian went out softly and closed the door with his hand.
Chiang Kai-shek picked up the report and flipped it over, slammed it on the table, went back to the inner room with his hands behind his back, and said to Song Meiling: "Recently, someone Chen has been very proud. ”
Song Meiling said: "Darling, Americans like him, this is normal, people like the same kind, Chen Zikun American style, fluent in English, is their appetite, but Americans still have political wisdom, they know who is the ruler of China." ”
Chiang Kai-shek's face softened slightly, and said: "Since Chen is good at dealing with foreigners, let him go to Moscow and persuade the Soviet Union to send troops to the northeast, and solve the Outer Mongolia problem by the way." ”
Song Meiling smiled: "Darling, you are really difficult for a strong man." ”
