On the morning of 27 October, the Wangqu Officers' Training Corps held its third opening ceremony, and the officers received a notice one day in advance that Jiang Zhongzheng would personally attend and speak at the meeting.

Wangqu is an ancient market town in the southwest of Xi'an. On this day, because Jiang Zhongzheng was going to give a speech to the cadets of the military training regiment, there were many people who came to Wang Qu, but it was not only the cadets of the training regiment who actually attended the meeting, but also the officers of the Northwest "General Suppression" Headquarters and the 17th Route Army and the Northeast Army in Xi'an, and the number of people who listened to the lecture suddenly surged to as many as five or six hundred!

Most of these people are from students, and they are extremely indignant about the affairs of Fujian! What Rong thought about was to resist Japan and save the country, so they had great hopes for Jiang Zhongzheng's speech.

In order to avoid an embarrassing situation, Zhang Xueliang came to the training group in advance for a meeting to prepare. At the meeting, some people proposed that they wanted to make suggestions and demands to Jiang Zhongzheng in person, and some radical students even wanted to debate with Jiang Zhongzheng!

"Mess! A gentleman can ask questions to the chairman of the committee without moving his hands, preferably in writing, and I will convey them; And be polite, disciplined, and not rude! Otherwise, military justice will deal with it! ”

Seeing that these officers were discussing more and more eagerly, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but shout angrily: "The chairman of the committee is here to give a lecture this time, not to debate!" We can't debate with him about identity! If you have any questions, submit them all in writing! I'll pass it on to the chairman! ”

Listening to Zhang Xueliang's words, the hearts of these officers gradually became different. Indeed, as the fame of the Wehrmacht grew, most of the students chose to travel to the three eastern provinces.

However, there are still some officers and cadets, especially students from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lianghu regions, who believe that the Nanjing government is orthodox after all. Therefore, they still chose to go to Nanjing.

Among the officers in Wang Qu, some of them were student soldiers who followed Zhang Xueliang in the early years. Some of them are the children of the Northeast Army who ran away with Zhang Xueliang. The rest were the people of Yang Hucheng's Seventeenth Route Army.

Zhang Xueliang, who was not at ease, asked the officers again for a pass, and then left the venue. And because there are too many people coming. The venue for this lecture was set at the City God Temple.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the 27th, Jiang Zhongzheng, accompanied by Zhang, Yang Er, Shao Zili and other Shaanxi officials, slowly came to Wangqu by car.

At this time, the official stepped forward to greet him. Jiang Zhongzheng was surrounded by a group of high-ranking generals. Slowly enter the venue. Suddenly, the military music was played, and everyone stood up! But the applause did not sound as expected, and the helpless Zhang Xueliang glanced at the cronies among the officers. The officer reluctantly took the lead in applauding.

So, under the leadership of this officer, there was another round of applause. This sparse applause made Jiang Zhongzheng's face twitch. But he remained serious as if he were inspecting, scanning the audience and raising his hand as he went. It's a reciprocal gift.

But he always had a serious expression, didn't say or laugh, and looked even more dignified, which was different from the ordinary. However, since it was rare to see him in normal times, no matter how stern he was, the officers still looked at the chairman as if they were looking at some kind of monster.

Let's be honest. Today, Jiang Zhongzheng is really very attentive. This can be seen in the way he dresses. I saw that he was wearing a very well-fitting general's uniform, wearing an elegant cowhide armed belt, and his feet were wearing long black and shiny leather boots. Wearing snow-white tweed gloves, he looks like a meticulous general!

This really made many officers feel that "the husband should be like this", and the applause finally became a little angry.

There was no one else on the podium, except for him standing alone in front of a table covered with a white cloth. Even Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were standing in front of the queue, and the rest of the officers were standing behind them.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Have a seat! Under Jiang Zhongzheng's deep words, the officers sat on the chairs with a "whoo~"! Everyone straightened their waists and stared at Jiang Zhongzheng on the rostrum.

"the Invaders! It is a foreign enemy, although there is coercion, but it is only a disease of ringworm and scabies. The communist bandits, on the other hand, are civil strife, and they are a big problem for our party and state! If you don't suppress it, you will endanger the party-state and the nation! ……”

Jiang Zhongzheng's speech began with his cliché remarks on suppressing bandits. He didn't speak very loudly. I don't pay much attention to the tone of the voice. He has always been fierce and leaves no room for words, so he seems to be arrogant and unstoppable!

"We revolutionary soldiers must first be courteous and righteous, know honesty and shame, and be filial at home. Be filial to your parents! To be loyal to the country and obey the commander, this is the duty of our soldiers! ”

"At the same time, we revolutionary soldiers must also distinguish between the distance and proximity of the enemy and the urgency of the matter. Our nearest enemy is the Red Bandits, and they are the most urgent; Japan is far away from us, and the harm is still slow. If there is no distinction between far and near, if there is no distinction between urgency and urgency, if we do not actively suppress bandits but lightly speak out against Japan, then we do not distinguish between right and wrong, and if the cart is turned upside down, it will not be a revolution! ”

"If you are unfilial at home, disloyal to the country, and disloyal and unfilial, you can't be regarded as a revolutionary soldier. The state has laws and disciplines, and such disloyal and unfilial soldiers must be punished! ”

Originally, the officers thought that at such a grand rally, Jiang Zhongzheng would definitely live up to expectations and make some remarks calling for resistance against Japan and saving the country, but he did not expect that he did not say a word in this regard, but he did not tire of the words of suppressing the Communist Party! This cannot but be a big disappointment!

Before Jiang Zhongzheng's lecture was over, many people were already impatient, but out of politeness and respect for the two generals, Zhang and Yang, the officers endured it, did not exchange words or hand notes, but listened patiently.

But when Jiang Zhongzheng said that Japan was still far away and the red bandits were near, someone finally couldn't help it!

"Report!!" A roar resounded among the officers! Zhang Xueliang's face changed suddenly, and Yang Hucheng couldn't help sweating on his face! This voice was so loud that it even overshadowed Jiang Zhongzheng, who was speaking on the rostrum!

"Whoever speaks, stand up and say!" Although Jiang Zhongzheng was happy to speak, he was a little unhappy when he was interrupted. But he still suppressed his emotions and said to the officers below as calmly as possible.

"Yes!" But I saw a lieutenant wearing the uniform of the Northeast Army standing up, this person was tall and had a national face! The straight waist pole indicates that the lieutenant had extremely rigorous military training.

"Chairman! There is a problem with the subordinates! Please ask the chairman if he can submit it! The officer had no stage fright, and said to Jiang Zhongzheng on the rostrum. And Zhang Xueliang had a gloomy face at this time, stood up and said to the officer.

"If you have any questions, you can forward them to me in writing after the chairman's speech. Isn't it just that I said it at the meeting?! As a soldier, why don't you obey military orders?! ”

"Report! Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I listened to the words of the chairman and had doubts in my heart! If I have doubts, I can't eat or sleep if I don't answer them! This question weighs on the lowly position. Pressed to the point of humbling and breathless! I feel like I'm going to die! Don't vomit and don't be happy! ”

The officer did not flinch, looked at Jiang Zhongzheng on the rostrum, and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, the lowly post wants the chairman to tell the lowly answer in person." With the answer, the despicable death is also blind! ”

"Nonsense! You ......" Zhang Xueliang was about to reprimand. But Jiang Zhongzheng stopped with a smile: "Hey! Han Qing, if you have any doubts, you can answer them! Didn't I come here today to give them an answer?! Let him speak! Let him speak! ”

Zhang Xueliang saw Jiang Zhongzheng say this, and wanted to argue, but Jiang Zhongzheng was resolute, and Zhang Xueliang couldn't say anything. It was worth sitting down, and gave the lieutenant a look, signaling him not to speak too impulsively!

"My first question: the central government, is it the Nanjing State Mansion or the Northeast Fengtian?!" The lieutenant took a deep breath and said to Jiang Zhongzheng on the stage.

Listen to the question. Jiang Zhongzheng's face suddenly became ugly. This Northeast Defense Army is a hidden pain in his heart, how can you look good when someone mentions him like this? ! But after all, he is also an old man in the political arena, and his face immediately returned to normal.

"Of course it's our Nanjing State Mansion! The three eastern provinces also recognize this. They also call themselves autonomous regions. Belong to our Nanjing State Government ......"

"Second question: Is Qingdao the territory of our Republic of China?! Hankou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Chongqing, are they not the territory of our Republic of China?! In these places, Jiang Zhongzheng's face twitched every time he mentioned it.

"These, of course, are the territory of our Republic of China! Absolutely! After being silent for a while, Jiang Zhongzheng looked at the lieutenant and said in a deep voice. There was a gloom in his eyes. With a murderous gaze! He began to understand why Zhang Xueliang had to stop the officer's questioning in the first place.

"I still want to ask! The 4,000 Minjiang children who died in the battle, are they our revolutionary soldiers?! I still want to ask! That was occupied by the Japanese and went to Fujian, is he not the territory of our Republic of China?! But when he saw the officer's eyes, they turned red. yelled at Jiang Zhongzheng on the rostrum.

"Qingdao, Hankou, Suzhou...... These are our territories, why are there troops of the Japanese stationed on our territory ?! The 4,000 Minjiang children who died in the war are our revolutionary soldiers! Then why did they die in battle, and we didn't even get a single explanation?! ”

"Then Fujian is the territory of our Republic of China, why is there not a single soldier of our Republic of China stationed in this entire Fujian Province?! And their bitch-bitched Japanese are stationed there with hundreds of thousands of troops?! ”

"The government of Nanjing is the central government, why don't the Japanese let go of a fart in Fujian! Why is Mukden not the central government, but you are killed by the Japanese in Korea ?! ”

One question after another, like a series of cannons, shot straight into Jiang Zhongzheng's heart! One question after another, Jiang Zhongzheng, who stabbed like a flying knife, had a headache in his heart!

"Enough! Sit down!! Zhang Xueliang finally couldn't help it, and stood up directly and yelled at the lieutenant.

"Not enough!!" The lieutenant was already red-eyed, and shouted at Zhang Xueliang: "Why can't I say it?!" Why am I not allowed to say it?! I don't say none of this exists?! I don't say. None of that?! ”

The lieutenant took a deep breath and said to Jiang Zhongzheng: "Ancestor, I also participated in Xinhai!" Before coming out, my ancestor once said: The flag of the Republic of China is blue sky and white sun and red ground! The implication is that 'May the morning sun always shine on my land, and don't forget the blood of the martyrs!' 'May my grandchildren never forget that the revolutionary martyrs defended me China with their blood!' ”

"I dare not forget the words of my ancestors for a moment. Correct! Mountains and rivers are broken! The Japanese invaders are rampant, and the chairman of the committee actually said that the Japanese invaders are far away?! It's all been killed in our land!! It's all swallowed up to us!! The lieutenant's eyes were red, and he burst into tears at Jiang Zhongzheng on the rostrum!

"We, the Republic of China, how many provinces can we swallow for the Japanese?! I, the Republic of China, how much land can I give to the Japanese?! But I saw that the lieutenant slowly lowered his head, and some of the hundreds of officers around him sobbed quietly.

They thought of the fact that they had withdrawn from the three eastern provinces without firing a shot, and they thought of the infamy of "non-resistance" on their backs! At that time, the name of non-resistance of the Northeast Army stinked from the south to the north!

Even, the people who went out by themselves in the Northeast Army did not dare to say that they were members of the Northeast Army! How sad!

"Take a step back, that's the kingdom's extinction! However, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, as the central government of our country, is not as good as a local warlord! The chairman of the committee angrily scolded the warlords for misleading the country, why did 4,000 Minjiang sons die in battle by the river? ! Why did the Mukden Defense Army force Korea force to stop Japan's aggression?! ”

"Where's my house?! Our government has eliminated protests and negotiations! Is there any action other than 'friendly people are inexplicably surprised'?! The lieutenant said, tears welling up involuntarily.

"Bandits! Bandits! The chairman of the committee told us to suppress bandits, and when the country is about to die, what kind of bandits will be suppressed?! The Japanese are going to be killed, what are we going to do with the bandits?! Lost Fujian, aren't we learning a big enough lesson?! Could it be that if Nanjing is lost, we will start to resist?! ”

"Bold!!" Jiang Zhongzheng didn't speak, and Chen Cheng, who came with Jiang Zhongzheng, suddenly roared at the lieutenant: "How can you say all the major national affairs in just a few words?!" The duty of a soldier is to obey orders! If you can't do this, what kind of revolutionary soldiers are you talking about?! ”

"Revolutionary soldiers?! Hahaha...... "When the lieutenant heard Chen Cheng's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter!"

"We, the revolutionary soldiers, there is no way for the Japanese to kill them! But when you kill your own people, your hands are not soft at all! We, the revolutionary soldiers, can't defend our homes and defend the country, but we have done a good job of 'inexplicably surprised by friendly people'! ”

With these words, Chen Cheng couldn't help but blush!

"I hope that the morning sun will always shine on my soil, and don't forget the blood of the martyrs all over the ground......" The lieutenant turned his head lightly and glanced at Jiang Zhongzheng, who was silent on the rostrum, and muttered to himself.

"Blue sky and white sun flag...... Let my blood stain you too!! As he spoke, the lieutenant turned abruptly and slammed into the pillar on the side like crazy!

"Long live the Republic of China!!"

"Hold him!!" Zhang Xueliang stood up and roared with red eyes, but unfortunately it was too late......

"Poof!" With a muffled sound, the lieutenant's head hit the pillar on the side at once! Crimson brains splattered out on the pillar and scattered all over the ground!

The flag of the Republic of China, which was decorated on the side, was spewed red by the splattered blood......
