Chapter 532: Eisenhower's Classmates
@@@@@
The earth has awakened, the severe cold has subsided, and the Yalu River, which has been frozen for months, ushered in a thaw moment.
On both sides of the Yalu River Bridge in Andong, people are surging in anticipation, and hundreds of dragon-dancing men wear short coats waiting for the moment of triumph of the soldiers. A long whistle sounded, and the first military train returning from the Korean front line sailed onto the bridge. "It's coming, it's back, it's back!" The calm was broken in an instant, the firecrackers and gongs and drums rumbled, the golden dragon danced endlessly, and countless people poured towards the railway, welcoming the soldiers who had returned from the bloody battle. Many soldiers who were infected by the enthusiasm even climbed on the roof of the car and waved their arms. A majestic and passionate "Song of the Motherland" also sounded along with their shouts.
"Motherland, you are my mother, and I am willing to give my life for you. Every inch of mountains and rivers is engraved with Yan Huang. Every drop of water is the blood of a dragon. Motherland, please pray for me. I am willing to fight to the end for you. ”
The loud singing voice infected every heart, and the tears in my eyes couldn't help but sigh and sigh. From the outbreak of the conflict in the Yellow Sea on November 3 to the conclusion of the Sino-Japanese peace treaty on March 11, the pattern of the Far East was completely changed by these triumphant soldiers in less than four months! Like a giant walking in the dark, holding his breath and struggling to find an exit, he found a pillar of light falling from the sky when he had almost lost confidence after holding on for decades. It's excitement, it's excitement, it's joy from the heart. In a short period of eight years, the Japanese and Russian forces, which had once entrenched themselves in the northeast and left countless wounds, were completely defeated, Korea was divided, Vladivostok and the Khingan Mountains outside Miaojie were all recovered, and the hidden dangers of Taiwan's return to the southeast were lifted. The land of China has finally ushered in a hard-won peace situation.
The battle flag is fluttering, the leather boots are shining, and the muzzle with the smell of gunpowder has witnessed the opening of an era! After more than 200 years of foreign rule, the officers and men of the Wehrmacht finally used discipline, tactics, iron and blood to drag the tail of national rejuvenation! In particular, this kind of glory is still based on the brilliant achievements of the European war, and even Europe and the United States have paid attention to this heroic army. Fortunately, the army could not fight across the ocean alone. Otherwise, it would have pounced on it a long time ago and bitten and suppressed it.
The song is telling the world that when the national enmity is like the remaining ice slag being washed away by the rolling torrent, when confidence and smile are unstoppably sweeping every corner of the land of China. In fact, the road to brilliant rise has just begun. The sons and daughters of China will use their hard work and sweat to build a beautiful homeland.
What a wonderful time it was!
And the emaciated figure who led the country and its 40,000,000 compatriots into the Belle Époque stood on the left side of the railroad at this moment. Like a straight javelin that splits the sky. The right arm was raised and a military salute was held high to welcome the returning soldiers. A column full of soldiers slowly stopped, and finally more than 2,000 cavalry soldiers returned at the same time, pushing the celebratory atmosphere to the most.
In such a fanatical occasion, there is also someone who remains calm enough, and he is Wang Geng, who has just been ordered to report for duty.
Report. Wang Geng, a major of the 35th Brigade of the National Guard, came to report. After the celebration, Wang Geng rushed to Yang Qiu's temporary residence in Andong under the leadership of Xiao Anguo. Facing Yang Qiu, who was four years older than him but had almost reached the peak of his life, carrying the country and the nation on his shoulders, he couldn't help but be a little nervous. On the contrary, Yang Qiu was particularly interested in him, in fact, he didn't know much about this "big celebrity", if he could remember anything. There are only two names, Lu Xiaoman and Eisenhower.
"I'm older than you, so can I call you celebrated?" Yang Qiu looked at the handsome Wang Geng, noticed his empty chest, and was a little curious: "There are very few young people of your age who have not joined the national society. Can you tell me why? What he said was the truth, with the recent good news in China, the charm of Yang Qiu and the national society has reached the point of no return. Aspiring young people in China are all proud to join the national society, especially the YMCA, which is even reminiscent of the trend culture of the parallel world when the republic first opened. This turbulent tide has also completely changed the internal structure of the national society, and a large number of talented young people are gradually replacing their predecessors. Immerse yourself in the fiery times.
Xiao Anguo was very optimistic about Wang Geng's ability, but he didn't notice that he hadn't joined the National Society, and was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by a raised hand. Facing Yang Qiu's waiting gaze, Wang Geng became even more nervous, and hesitated for a long time before he said hard-headed: "Vice President, everyone has their own ideals. ”
"And what about your ideals?" Yang Qiu didn't seem to want to let him go, and asked.
Wang Geng said: "Learn from foreign countries and serve the country." ”
Just eight words made Yang Qiu laugh: "There is a big gap between Western cultural values and ours, and many places cannot even be reconciled. ”
Wang Geng is a smart person, and he is obviously talking about the original Kuomintang by using a few words from the past. The forced implementation of the separation of powers and the comprehensive study of the American-style model of provincial autonomy almost led to the division of the country. So he continued: "It's true that the European and American models can't be applied to the current environment in our country, but I think we still have a lot in common. In particular, the pursuit of national prosperity and personal prosperity are completely similar. In order to achieve these two goals, I think it is all the more important to ensure the stability of the country and society, crack down on crime and separatist forces, promote the rule of law instead of the rule of man, and ensure fairness between people as much as possible. ”
It's very simple to talk to smart people, this Wang Geng obviously saw through Yang Qiu's exercise of party dictatorship, but at the same time continued to keep the true thoughts of the Kuomintang and the Republican Party, which shows that his talent and reaction ability are not worse than Gu Weijun and Murong Han and others. I couldn't help but nod and said, "You're good!" Many people choose to join a party, and it seems that a party has become a trend overnight, forgetting that the vast majority of people in our country are still non-partisan neutrals, and they also need to have their voices heard, so I hope you will stick to your dreams. ”
"Thank you, Vice President."
Xiao Anguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Vice President." People I brought. The latter thing. ”
"I'll tell you." Yang Qiu knew Xiao Anguo's thoughts, and it was difficult for him to defend the stall of the National Guard for himself all these years, with his ability, if it wasn't for himself, he would never be able to sit in this position safely. So after letting Wang Geng sit down, he said in his place: "Commander Xiao doesn't tell you about the mission because this operation is very important and related to the security of China's northeast region. So let me tell you about it. ”
Yang Qiu first asked Kuang Xukun to hand Wang Geng the report of the Shumyatsky guerrillas and the Mongol rebels entrenched in the cold region of Chita and the high latitudes, and after he finished reading it, he continued: "Originally, Xu Shuzheng should be in charge of this matter, but he has another task, so we need someone who can take on the task of clearing out the remnants. I know you must be confused. Why choose you instead of from the regular army. I might as well make it clear that, first, I liked your performance and work attitude when I was in Beijing and Tianjin, and second, the US Government has repeatedly stated that it does not want our team to cross the boundary demarcated by the "Shanghai Communiqué" and enter the Russian zone. Therefore, the National Guard can only be dispatched to act under the pretext of crossing the border to fight banditry. ”
Wang Geng also learned about some of the situation in the Outer Khing'an Mountains, but for some reason, any news in this area was tightly covered, so he couldn't get any valuable information from many inquiries. It wasn't until I read this confidential document that I learned that Hailanpao, Chita, and other places in the Outer Khing'an Mountains were not very peaceful, and last year alone, there were more than 500 firefights, large and small. Due to the special geographical environment, high mountains and dense forests, and severe permafrost temperatures, the military has not completely wiped out these two guerrilla rebels in several large-scale sorties. In addition, Shumyatsky and others also have contacts with Japanese troops in Holtsk and other places, and they have been tolerating it because they are worried that it may trigger a conflict between China and Japan. Now Japan has completely withdrawn from the game. The Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty stated that once Japan supported them, China would have the right to automatically take back Sakhalin, so the Japanese government had promised in front of Britain and the United States not to help. The United States also does not want China to advance northward, and the dispatch of regular troops will inevitably cause concern, so it has mobilized local military forces such as the Guard Corps to completely eliminate these two guerrilla forces that threaten the security of the north.
It's just that there's one thing he's weird. At present, there are five divisions of the regular army stationed in the five provinces of Chita, Hailanpao, Miaojie, Heilongjiang and Vladivostok. With the cooperation of 5 National Guard brigades, even if it is difficult and difficult, it is reasonable to say that it should have been exterminated a long time ago, at least to ensure the destruction of their ability to launch a large-scale guerrilla war again, why has it been dragged on so far? But when turning to a page detailing the region's demographic tables for several years, he suddenly understood. This kind of task is a big challenge for him. The first is the poor environment, and the second is whether Japan will keep its commitments. The third is this statistical table. However, he still had a faint feeling that if these two forces could be eliminated and the population ratio of the region could be changed, the problem of stability in the northeast could be completely cured. So he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Vice President, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task!" ”
Seeing that he was still a little weak when he assured him, Yang Qiu and Xiao Anguo glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, as if we are going to throw you into the deep mountains and old forests." After saying that, he beckoned to Kuang Xukun, and a moment later Hao Wenbao, the leader of the hunter team, walked in. Xiao Anguo took the initiative to introduce: "Shouqing, let me introduce you, this is Hao Wenbao, the captain of the hunter brigade." Wenbao, this is Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Bandits. ”
After Hao Wenbao came in, Wang Geng felt that the air seemed to be a little colder, especially when he looked at himself with uncomfortable eyes like razors, which made him secretly think about the hunter troops.
Yang Qiu got up and said, "Hao Wenbao, they have received special training, and they will cooperate with you to eliminate the guerrillas and ensure the security and stability of China's northeast region." Commander Xiao has also signed an order, and the five guard brigades in the five provinces outside the northeast will be handed over to you for unified command. I have also ordered the 16th Brigade stationed in Beihai (Irkutsk) to be at your disposal, and the three divisions in Chita, Heilongjiang and Hailanpao can change into National Guard uniforms to support you if necessary. ”
With such a strong backup, Wang Geng was a lot more confident, and after saluting, he was ready to chat with Hao Wenbao about the action plan, but before he got up, he was stopped by Yang Qiu: "Shouqing, is Eisenhower really your classmate?" How is your relationship with him? ”
This question made Wang Geng also stunned, and only said after a while: "Yes, the relationship is not bad." I still correspond to him from time to time. ”
"Okay, I got it."
Wang Geng, who was confused, didn't understand why Yang Qiu asked this question, could it be that he also knew Eisenhower? Eisenhower is still a minor major like himself. He frowned and walked out with Hao Wenbao. After he went out, Xiao Anguo also turned his head curiously and asked, "Chenhua, who is Eisenhower?" ”
Yang Qiu seemed to think of something, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "An interesting person." ”
"Oh." Xiao Anguo didn't think much about it, and continued: "By the way, why don't you tell him about continuing to reduce the population of Russia? This kid is good at everything, but he is soft-hearted, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. ”
"Brother Xiao, don't worry, he took a few more minutes when he looked at the statistical table just now, and he must have understood what I meant. As for you saying that he is soft-hearted, I believe he should understand what national interests are! Yang Qiu grabbed the Northeast document and threw it on the table, and the wind outside the window opened the page and stayed on the page of the population statistics table.
This coincidence seems to tell everyone that peace is not yet yet to come...... (。 If you like this work, () vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
