Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi took a jeep and stopped at the door of a tavern in the city, the two got out of the car and walked into the tavern to find a table to sit down, this tavern is indeed not very decorated, and even a little dilapidated, but there are only a few such taverns in Nancheng.

In addition to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi and others, there were several tables of guests in the tavern, one of which was a few low-level officers, after seeing Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi come in, these low-level officers all got up and saluted, and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi waved their hands to them after returning the salute, indicating that they did not need to be restrained, since they were here to eat, they were free to do so.

There were also two tables of Japanese, these people were wearing kimonos, it seemed that they were rich Japanese in Nancheng, these Japanese saw that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were high-ranking officers, they all stood up and bowed, looking extremely respectful and frightened, but Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi ignored them.

In addition, there are two tables of Ryukyu locals, which can be seen from the costumes and headdresses, these Ryukyuan people appear more casual and polite to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.

The shopkeeper of the tavern was a Ryukyuan man in his thirties, he came over with a smile and asked Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi what they wanted to eat in Ryukyuan, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi compared to the tavern owner for a long time, and the tavern owner did not understand what they meant, Li Zongren had to ask the guard to follow the boss to the back kitchen to order, so as to solve the problem of ordering.

In the tavern, the guests at each table were eating and drinking and talking in a low voice, after all, there were soldiers here, especially high-ranking officers, and they didn't dare to speak loudly if they were Japanese or Ryukyu locals.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi also spoke in a low voice, and Bai Chongxi said: "Delin, after this war is over. I'm afraid you're going to have to be promoted to a teacher, right? Of all our age, you're the only one who has risen the fastest! ”

Li Zongren lit a cigarette and smoked. Wen Yan smiled and said, "You don't have to envy me, you don't have to rise slowly." The chief of staff of the regiment, in fact, is not necessarily smaller than the regiment commander in terms of authority. As for the promotion, I don't want to think about it, and I advise you not to think about it, at least not for the last two years! ”

Li Zongren's words made Bai Chongxi quite puzzled, and he hurriedly asked, "Delin, have you received any news?" ”

Li Zongren shook his head and said, "No, I thought about it myself." Don't you think our group has risen a little too fast? Now it is not the same as before, and now is not the era of feudal emperors, the emperor can make a teenager become a general with a word, but now it is not possible, you think about it, now there are more than three million troops in the country, most of them are soldiers and low-level officers, and the number of senior officers is limited, and the number of commanders of a unit is also limited. It's just a turnip and a pit, senior officers and generals are not cabbages, not everyone can be a cabbage, I recently heard General Cai inadvertently talk about it. In the future, the appointment of regimental officials must go through the Supreme Military Council, which shows that the promotion of officers has been more strictly controlled. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future, even if it is promoted to one level. Without outstanding combat exploits and certain qualifications, it is difficult to move up the ladder. Especially the promotion of colonel-level officers to generals, this is a huge gap, I am afraid that the vast majority of colonels will not be able to achieve their wish if they want to be promoted to major generals until they die! ”

Bai Chongxi took a few puffs of cigarette, listened to Li Zongren's words, nodded and said, "Listening to what you say, it seems to be really like that!" ”

When the two were talking, the dishes were served on the table one after another, Li Zongren grabbed a jar of wine, opened the mud seal, poured a glass for each of them, and after walking together, the two continued to chat while eating and drinking.

At this time, there was a loud shout and a scream from the door.

"Yaga!"

"Ahh

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were talking, interrupted by these two voices, their hearts were quite unhappy, turned their heads to look outside, it turned out to be a young Japanese and a squad leader of the Anguo Army bumped together, the squad leader of the Anguo Army who was hit was extremely unhappy, raised a heartwarming foot and kicked the young Japanese in the chest, the young Japanese was kicked by this kick not lightly, before falling to the ground let out a miserable scream, a young Japanese woman beside him hurriedly supported him, and asked him how he felt, whether he was injured within the words of concern, It can be seen between the words that these two are a young Japanese couple.

After the young Japanese was helped up by his wife, his face turned pale, and he raised his hand and pointed at the squad leader of the Anguo Army and shouted angrily: "Baga, bastard, you shameless traitor, what kind of ability do you have to bully your own people, if you have the ability, you go to fight the Chinese army, you kind of waste will only sell the country for glory, you will only bully your own compatriots, people like you will definitely be punished, and when our Imperial Japanese Army comes over, you will definitely be punished!" ”

"Yaga!" The squad leader of the Anguo Army scolded and sneered loudly: "Boy, stupid, don't dream, the Japanese Empire is finished, and you still want the army to fight?" Hahaha, the Japanese Navy is gone, how can the army come over? Swim over? Don't drown in the sea, hahaha??????".

The young Japanese man shouted angrily, "Baga Baga, you traitors to the empire, I will kill you ???????."

"Smack-" The young man just pounced on it and was slapped by the squad leader of the Anguo Army, and after a few turns, he was grabbed by the collar again, and he heard the squad leader say: "You are the fool, you people have always been fools who have been fooled by the cabinet of people, His Majesty the Emperor has been deceived by the cabinet and by those powerful elders, and all the Japanese people have been fooled and deceived by them, Japan should not have fought with China at all, and should not attack Tsarist Russia at all, It was the shameless politicians and militants of the Senate and the Cabinet who pushed Japan into the abyss, and we of the Anguo Army will definitely overthrow the shameless bastards of the Senators and the Cabinet, re-establish a new government, and keep Japan away from war from now on! You young people have been indoctrinated with militaristic ideas by those shameless militarists since you were a child, and you think about war all day long, and it is precisely because there are too many young people like you in Japan that Japan has become what it is now, you are sinners, and you will all go to hell when you die! ”

When the young man heard these words, he began to panic, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "No, no, no, you bastard, you nonsense, is it also wrong to serve the Great Japanese Empire?" Is it also wrong to serve His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"I didn't say that I was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and it was wrong to be loyal to Japan, but are you serving Japan like this? Japan is a small country with little power, and it cannot fight at all, and fighting a war will only bring Japan to its demise, and you have always been wrong from the beginning! ”

The Japanese youth shouted: "You traitor, what qualifications do you have to say that you are loyal to the emperor?" I'll kill you! ”

"You diehard, you know by listening to your tone that you are a rebel, you have been fooled too deeply, you go to die!" The squad leader of the Anguo Army raised his fist and smashed it into the young man's head, and the young man was immediately knocked to the ground, and several Anguo Army soldiers immediately rushed up and beat him.

"Get out of the way!" The squad leader pulled the soldiers apart, took off the rifle from his back, pointed his bayonet at the young man who had fallen to the ground, and was about to stab him when the young man's wife pounced on him and cried and begged him not to hurt her husband.

"Yaga, get out of here!" He pushed the woman away and threw her to the ground, raising her bayonet and stabbing at the young Japanese.

"Poof" sound, the people around watching the excitement couldn't help but turn their faces and didn't dare to look at this scene, the sound was obviously the sound of being pierced in the stomach, everyone turned around to look, and sure enough, they saw the bayonet stabbed in the stomach of the Japanese young man, and blood was gushing out.

"Ahh

When the wife of the young Japanese saw that her husband was dead, she was suddenly stupid, and the woman who was the squad leader of the Anguo Army was still quite beautiful, and the corners of her mouth suddenly showed lewdness? smiled, and instructed the two soldiers beside him: "You two take this flower girl back, show it to me, and then go back and enjoy it slowly when I finish drinking!" ”

"Hey!"

The noise outside had already made Li Zongren and the others impatient, and the two got up and walked outside, Li Zongren shouted: "What's the matter? ”

The Japanese woman obviously realized that her situation was not good, if she was taken back by these two Anguo soldiers, the end would be very miserable, she walked a heroic Chinese army officer out of the tavern and immediately used all her strength to break free, and the two soldiers ran over to this side and fell at Li Zongren's feet and begged: "The generals of Huaguo save me, they are bad people, please save me!" ”

Li Zongren looked at the squad leader of the An Guojun and asked, "You drop, come here, tell me what's going on?" Why blatantly kill people on the street? ”

The squad leader was startled when he saw the military ranks of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, and hurriedly bowed over and nodded and said: "Report to Your Excellency General, this man openly speaks ill of the heavenly soldiers on the street, he is a die-hard rebel, and he will not repent, this flower girl is his wife, and she must be the same party!" ”

Li Zongren nodded and said: "If it is a rebel, kill it, but you can't kill people on the street casually in the future, if there are rebels, first arrest them back and interrogate them carefully, find out their comrades and then wipe them out, also, take this woman away, ask her if she still has allies in the city, if you find out, all of them will be arrested and handed over to your commander to deal with!" ”

The head of the class was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down and said, "Hey! ”

The Japanese woman was taken away in a heartbreak, and the man's body was also dragged away, and the street soon calmed down again, and the local residents of the Ryukyus didn't care about this kind of thing, the Chinese army didn't move them, only the Japanese, and they were also happy to see the excitement, but now they didn't have a lively look, so they naturally dispersed.
