The news that Lao Jiang was going to Saibei in person to celebrate the birthday of Old Man Chen really frightened Chen Feng and others, Chen Feng didn't think that Lao Jiang would send someone to come, he not only thought about it, but also concluded that Lao Jiang would definitely send a henchman to Saibei, but Chen Feng never thought that Lao Jiang would come in person.

At the same time, Chen Feng was also happy in his heart, since Lao Jiang came in person, it means that the possibility of peace talks with the Japanese army is almost gone, which is undoubtedly good news for him.

On February 15, 1940, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, all levels of troops in Saibei Province were under full martial law, and all units close to the Japanese defense area urgently entered the forward fortifications, and ammunition was also distributed to all units according to the standard of one week's consumption, and nearly 100 new fighters of the Air Force were urgently lifted into the air, and the whole army entered a state of first-class combat readiness.

Lao Jiang went north to Saibei, which made Chen Feng attach great importance to it, although he himself didn't like the bald head who could only play tricks, and even had some disgust, but he didn't dare to be careless about Lao Jiang's safety. Although Lao Chiang's actions are annoying, he is now the leader of the entire Chinese resistance against Japan, and no one can replace his position, at least now, whether people want to admit it or not, this is a fact.

At this time, China could do without Zhu Mao, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and even Chen Feng, but it could never do without Jiang Guangtou. Without those above-mentioned people, China would still be China, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression would continue. But if there is no Jiang Guangtou, those grandfathers in China will definitely make trouble, and the so-called anti-Japanese national united front is a piece of butt paper, and no one will take it seriously.

Because of this. Lao Chiang's safety is more important than Mount Tai, Chen Feng is not worried about the attack of the Japanese ground forces now, under the powerful force of the Eighth Theater, there is absolutely no ambiguity.

However, he was afraid of the sneak attack of the Japanese spies and the air force, and the strength of the Japanese secret services should not be underestimated, whether it was planning the puppet Manchukuo or establishing the Wang puppet regime, there were shadows of the Japanese secret services in them, and even if Dai Li's military command bureau was as strong, it still could not gain a clear advantage in the underground struggle. It can be seen that the Japanese secret service is powerful.

In addition, Lao Jiang traveled from Chongqing to Saibei. It takes too long to take the train, and the train is not very safe, so flying is the best option, and Chen Feng is worried that the Japanese army is desperate. Send a plane to intercept Lao Jiang's landline halfway. So after receiving a telegram from the chamberlain. Chen Feng immediately sent a telegram to Wang Shihe. It was requested that planes be sent to escort Lao Chiang in the air.

At a quarter past ten o'clock in the morning, with the sound of the humming engines of fighter planes in the sky, everyone's faces were happy. It seems that the journey has gone well, and the old man has arrived.

This is the third time that Chen Feng and Lao Jiang have met, the first time was in Wuhan, the second time was in Zhengzhou, the first two times Chen Feng went to see Lao Jiang in person, but this time Lao Jiang came to see him.

The door of the plane was slowly opened, and accompanied by Madame Chiang, the elder Chiang slowly stepped off the Hawker fighter.

The pick-up lineup outside made Lao Jiang very satisfied, and it can be seen that today's airport has been specially arranged, not to mention the dozens of elite soldiers on both sides, it is also quite pleasing to say that the road covered with red carpet is also quite happy.

As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Feng personally greeted him, saluted Lao Jiang and said loudly: "Report to the commission, the commander of the Eighth Theater of the National Government, the second-class general of the army, and the chairman of Saibei Province Chen Feng salutes you, and welcomes the commission to come to Saibei Province to inspect the work!" ”

After speaking, the two Mongolian primary school students who followed behind Chen Feng immediately stepped forward to present Hada to Lao Jiang, originally Chen Feng planned to offer garlands in accordance with the customs of later generations, but where to find wreaths at this time, the last thing is Tana proposed to offer Hada, after all, this is the northern steppe, the Mongolian people are the main ethnic group here, Chen Feng himself has half of the Mongolian blood, and the sacrifice of Hada is the highest etiquette of the Mongolian people, there is no more suitable than sending Hada.

Sure enough, seeing the two Mongolian primary school students carved in pink and jade, Lao Jiang and his wife immediately smiled, obviously they also knew the meaning of this Hada. Maybe they don't value the meaning of Hada itself, but they can't ignore the meaning behind the dedication to Hada.

"It's hard work, the soldiers of the Eighth War Zone have worked hard, in fact, they have long wanted to come to Saibei to have a look, but the country is suffering from the barbaric invasion of strong neighbors, and they really can't spare time. This time, when I heard that Mr. Ling Zun had Mr. Chen's 60th birthday, Jiang came uninvited, and I hope that Mr. Su Yan and Mr. Chen will not blame him! Lao Jiang said with a smile.

"It's funny, you can come to celebrate my father's birthday, that is the honor of our Chen family, this is a blessing that can only be cultivated in several lifetimes, how can you blame it!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

In addition to the senior officers of the Eighth War Zone and the senior officials of the Saibei Provincial Government, Mr. Mao of Yan'an, Commander Zhu, Li Zongren of the Gui Department, Yan Xishan of the Jin Sui Department, Sun Weiru of the Northwest Department and others all came.

Walking through the red carpet and under the opening of the armored car, the group took the car provided by the Eighth War Zone and rushed to the place where Lao Jiang and the others were staying.

After the capture of Guisui, Chen Feng ordered people to carry out an all-round transformation of the entire government office, and built a large number of houses and courtyards on the basis of not changing the appearance of the original building complex, and used it as a place for the provincial government of Saibei to receive VIPs.

At noon, Chen Feng set up a banquet for Lao Jiang and others in the banquet hall of the city hall, and invited the main guests to accompany him. The meal lasted more than an hour, and then everyone went back to their respective homes.

Everyone knows that wishing Old Man Chen on his birthday is just an excuse, and everyone's real thoughts are tacit, and the real intentions of the big guy are afraid to stay in private to communicate.

Sure enough, after dinner, Lao Jiang sent someone to inform Chen Feng that he would wait for Chen Feng in the Qingfeng Pavilion of the General's Office at three o'clock in the afternoon, and he needed to talk to Chen Feng about some work matters.

That's what he said, but Chen Feng knew that talking about work was just an excuse, and he had already guessed what to talk about.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng came to Qingfeng Pavilion alone, only to see that there was no one in the small warm pavilion, and Lao Jiang had not yet arrived. Chen Feng had already expected this result before he came, a leader must have the temperament of a leader, and at the same time, he must have the privilege of a leader, he can wait for Lao Jiang, but Lao Jiang can't wait for him, this is the rule.

He had just stayed for a few minutes, and there was the sound of footsteps outside, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Lao Jiang was coming, and the leader was the last to show the prestige of the leader.

Sure enough, accompanied by Wang Shihe, the old man walked in from the outside unhurriedly, and said with a smile after seeing Chen Feng: "Solemnity is here, hehe, I drank a few more glasses at noon, and I was a little overwhelmed, so I squinted in the room for a while." ”

"Hehehe, the old wine in Saibei is indeed a bit strong, and people who don't drink it often are really not used to it." Chen Feng said with a smile.

Wang Shihe didn't come in, he sent Lao Jiang into the Warm Pavilion and went out alone, and only Chen Feng and Lao Jiang were left in the entire Warm Pavilion. Wang Shihe knew very well that what these two wanted to say was definitely not something that he, a small captain of the guard, could hear.

"Solemn, what do you think of the Japanese?" After a few words of greeting, Lao Jiang suddenly asked.

Lao Chiang's question was very skillful, he did not ask Chen Feng what he thought of the Japanese army, but what he thought of the Japanese. Obviously, in Lao Chiang's mind, there was an essential difference between the Japanese and the Japanese army.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "In fact, in my heart, the Japanese and the Japanese army are the same, as long as they are in China, both the Japanese and the Japanese are invaders. ”

Lao Jiang frowned and said, "The Japanese army really deserves to die, but ordinary Japanese should not be guilty of death, right?" ”

"You are so merciful. The Japanese nation is far more terrible than we think, they have an innate worship of the strong, and at the same time they also have a cruel perception of the weak and unsurvivable. In the eyes of the Japanese, Chinese are undoubtedly weak and unworthy of the right to live, and this perception runs through the entire Japanese society, except for a few anti-war people, the vast majority of Japanese people think so. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Feng added: "The heinous crimes of the Japanese army in China cannot be clearly explained in a few words, and everywhere the invading army goes, beautiful and quiet cities and villages, are soon turned into murderous slaughterhouses by bloodthirsty invaders, and thousands of peaceful residents, prisoners of war and refugees are killed by the executioners, and their heads are cut off by the Japanese soldiers who are engaged in killing competitions and live target training; Our fellow women were swooped down on by groups of Japanese beasts to insult and commit adultery, and our sisters let out heart-rending anger and sorrow; On the ruins of the Japanese bombing, the baby cried and cried out to his mother, but the young mother fell in a pool of blood. Japanese imperialism trampled on international conventions and humanitarianism, established bacteriological units in our country, and carried out bacteriological warfare to exterminate humanity. Japanese militarism relied on force to occupy China's land, mines, factories, railways, electric power, and communication facilities, and plundered a large amount of resources and wealth. They lured and forcibly requisitioned millions of Chinese laborers to exploit and exploit them to replenish their high-speed war machine with cheap labor. The history of blood and tears in the history of the Japanese invaders forcibly carrying out slavery education in the occupied areas, forbidding Chinese people to run schools on their own land and using Chinese teaching materials, and even preventing Chinese people from calling themselves Chinese in public, reminds us and shows future generations that they will never forget the ferocity, brutality, and cunning of the aggressors, and firmly remember the sacrifices, ravages, and sufferings suffered by our people, and we have 10,000 reasons to kill every Japanese soldier who sets foot on Chinese soil. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Feng's voice changed: "But we also have 8,000 reasons to kill every Japanese civilian or businessman who sets foot on Chinese territory, and civilians are not their gold medal for avoiding death!" (To be continued......)
