Chapter 109: Friendly Match
Mr. Sadaoyi is really very accurate about the psychology of the Chinese! After 50 years of being bullied, the Chinese nation still adheres to the virtue of tolerance, which may be a good face in the eyes of Westerners. When the news that he apologized to the Chinese and bowed to Yuan Shikai was reported by the newspapers the next morning, the public sentiment in Beijing was boiling!
A considerable number of Chinese seem to have really forgotten at this moment that it was the British who opened our door with artillery fire because we did not buy his opium! They also seem to have forgotten who is making things worse for us at the critical moment of our nation's survival!
Mr. Sadaoyi seemed to have forgotten, and he said at the end of the day that if he had the opportunity, he would be willing to work with the Chinese to create a peaceful situation and let this land avoid war forever. This statement was echoed by many media outlets.
This is the shortcoming of our traditional Chinese cultural education, and for thousands of years, Confucianism has made us forget the ferocity of robbers when the scars are not good.
The National Times published an editorial underneath Mr. Sadaoyi's speech, which read:
"As citizens of the Republic, we cannot deny that the victory in the Great Patriotic War has greatly increased the ambition of the Chinese, and the athletes led by Commander Yang bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield and created the greatest victory of the Chinese nation in foreign wars in the past half century, and this merit cannot be erased......
We have paid millions of lives and have been respected by the West. Germany and we have developed comprehensive and equal cooperation. Austria-Hungary has also established a partnership with us, and now Mr. Sadaoyi is publicly apologizing to us, although this is not an official British apology, but it is definitely the mainstream voice in Britain......
The strong offensive and defensive power of our army in the war made no country dare to despise us, and no one regarded us as a weak and incompetent Qing Dynasty. I'm Chinese!
No one can erase the blood shed by the soldiers, and no one can deny the efforts made by Commander Yang to defend our homeland! But at a time when the Russians have already asked us to end the war, is it more appropriate to focus on nation-building?
Our country is in ruins, our people are threatened with hunger, are we really capable of fighting the Russians for a long time? Even if we can win the war, will we fight for hundreds of years like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty drove the Xiongnu, or will we fight for three generations like Ming Taizu did when he exterminated the Mongols? I hope that Commander Yang will consider it carefully and not act negatively for the sake of the future of the nation. ”
When Yang Xiaolin read this editorial, he deliberately looked at the name of the writer, and it was actually written by Liang Qichao.
"Even Ren Gong is in favor of peace talks. It seems that if we continue to fight, there may be a lot of resistance. ”
Jin Dadao bowed his head next to him and said: "He was originally in favor of peace talks, but he didn't say anything about friendship before, this time Sa Daoyi went to Beijing, and his words gave enough face to those scholars, I can guess what they think!" ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "What do you think?" ”
Jin Dadao knocked his hand on the table: "They think the British gave a foot." We should give it a shot! “
Don't look at Jin Dadao, this person has never studied, but this is really true! Yang Xiaolin saw the headline in the newspaper that said Sa Daoyi's apology. I know that there must be a series of such reports below.
Feng Delin asked: "Xiaolin." Are you going to fight? If you don't want to fight, Dadao and I will go back to the Northeast immediately to help you see those two bases. That place in Beijing is really not for us, Lao Tzu scolded someone on the street, and those reporters can still write it for me, and I still go back to my Gaojiatunzi at ease. ”
Jin Dadao was deeply convinced of this: "Well, Beijing really can't stay!" That day on the street I bumped into an old man, and he pulled me and wouldn't let me go. I haven't kicked him twice, but a bunch of boys are trying to beat me? If they were to be in our place, I would kill them! ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled, this is the limitation of their volunteers! Lawlessness is used to it, and the matter of Jin Dadao is quite big. Everyone reported to the official, but he came forward to help settle it.
It is not a single time that a few old people in the army are leaving, they are really not used to the atmosphere in Beijing. Yang Xiaolin also made arrangements, and he said that Zaifeng was going to build two factories in the northeast, which were actually two military bases. This military base needs to be kept absolutely secret, and it will not work without the right people to watch.
Besides, Jin Dadao and Feng Delin returned a factory, although the business is not very good, the two of them are quite serious.
"You can't leave now, the war against Lao Maozi I have to kill Kizerosky to end, and no one can say anything during this period! Moreover, I also promised you to find a place for you to grab it happily, and when I do it, you two will go back to the Northeast to help me see the base. ”
Jin Dadao was very happy when he heard this: "Do you want to find a place for us to rob?" ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Then you will know the way." ”
Feng Delin thought for a moment: "Xiaolin, if Yuan Shikai gives you an order not to fight, what will you do?" ”
Yang Xiaolin was confident: "It's okay, it is estimated that he will not be able to take care of us here soon, and in a few days, maybe what Lao Yuan is most afraid of is that we end the war and go back." ”
Jin Dadao and Feng Delin glanced at each other, and they didn't know what Yang Du's plan was going to be, so they couldn't guess what kind of medicine Yang Xiaolin was selling in this gourd.
Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything to them, grabbed his hat and stood up: "Second brother, the Russian prisoner camp has been rebuilt today, let's go over and have a look." ”
After Yang Xiaolin came to Mongolia, he built a simple prisoner of war camp, although more than 100 houses had been built at that time, but as the fighting spirit of the Russians declined, more and more people took the initiative to surrender! Especially after the Chinese defeated Kulen, the last glimmer of hope of the Russians was dashed, and in just three days, there were already more than 30,000 prisoners of war there, and Zhang Zuolin was escorting them back. Expanding the size of the prisoner of war camps is a must.
Moreover, when Yang Xiaolin asked Akberil to be the administrator of the prisoner of war camp, Akberil also put forward a condition, that is, the Chinese side must improve the treatment of prisoners of war.
This is really a very harsh condition, you must know that the Chinese troops are fighting all the way from Beijing, and their own materials are a little unable to keep up, where are the conditions to improve the lives of these prisoners of war? There are still just over 40,000 people. When Zhang Zuolin's group of prisoners of war arrives, it will increase to 70,000 or 80,000, and the attack on the largest Russian army has not yet begun!
Whenever he thought that he was going to have hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners of war here, his head was big! He really had the urge to leave not a single prisoner of war like he had done before, and it was really happy.
But not now, now he is Commander Yang, not only to fight this battle, but also to find a way to make the Russians have no time to trouble him in the future, so not only to improve the lives of these prisoners of war, but also to teach them lessons.
Yang Xiaolin agreed to Akberil. The condition was that they had to build the prisoner of war camp themselves, and if they could provide them with wood, what they could do depends on how much effort they sold.
Not to mention, General Ackberil's prestige among the Russian troops is quite good. In addition, he built a house for himself, and Lao Maozi was very attentive.
Some of them used to specialize in architecture. The entire prisoner camp was actually planned in detail. When Yang Xiaolin walked in with the troops to inspect. He really had the illusion that he was not in a place where prisoners were held!
The barracks were built in rows and rows, and in addition to the sleeping quarters, there were meeting rooms, activity rooms, volleyball courts, and football fields. Bath room, thatched house. The Russians had transplanted some saplings and wildflowers from the outside on the two rows of roads in the middle of the barracks, and there was a trading market in the middle square, Mr. Ackberil said. Here the soldiers can exchange some of their excess, and what others need.
If China and Russia reach an agreement on the release of prisoners of war in the future, those who return home first will be able to hand over what they don't need here to those who can use it.
Yang Xiaolin was really ashamed, thinking that he had been a commander for so long, and his military camp was a playground for soldiers to use for training and running. On the one hand, there are almost no Chinese soldiers who can play volleyball and football, and the Chinese do not have this requirement. On the other hand, it is also that I really neglect it.
"General, don't you think that your captive is a little too luxurious?"
Yang Xiaolin took a cigarette in his mouth and turned around, and said very jealously.
Akberlir obviously thought that Yang Xiaolin would say such a thing, and he had already thought of Lu's wording: "No, I am considering it from your standpoint. If you look at these houses, both the ventilation and lighting conditions are very good, and the facilities outside are readily available. Commander Yang, although such a camp consumes a lot of materials, but after we can leave, it will not be deserted, you can turn this place into a school, or a small village, I guarantee to you that it will definitely not be worse than you build a school and a village. ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Okay, this reason convinced me." By the way, do any of your troops know how to play football? ”
"A lot of soldiers do, and we have two of them who are professional players but have injuries," Ackberil said. ”
"Well, when the war is over, how about we have a friendly match?"
Akberil was stunned for a moment, friendly match? He has been in China for so long and has never seen any Chinese play football!
"I'd love to, but we'd like to ask you if you're not going to play with a rifle? If the Russians win, will you kill? ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "How do you know that I will definitely lose?" Even if I lose, it's just a game for everyone to relax, and now I'm like a war book,"
Yang Xiaolin looked around as he spoke, and suddenly said in Russian: "Surrounding Russian soldiers, you all listen, I will issue a war letter to you as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, I want to play a football game with you, do you accept the challenge?" ”
The Russian soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then someone immediately shouted: "General, promise the Chinese!" ”
"Promise him General!"
Akberlir finally nodded: "Okay, I accept your challenge!" However, this is a sports competition and I hope you will follow the rules. ”
General Akberlir didn't understand what tricks Yang Xiaolin was playing at all, was this friendly match really Yang Xiaolin playing with the Russians when he was idle? Of course it won't be that simple. This is a prelude to psychological warfare!
You must know that these Russian GIs have just been captured from the battlefield by themselves, and even if many of them surrendered voluntarily, everyone must have that anger in their hearts that cannot be vented, and hatred of the Chinese troops is inevitable.
At this time, if you brainwash them directly, the effect will definitely not be good. We have to find a way for them to vent their anger somewhat. Playing a game is a good idea, look at the reaction of the Russian soldiers just now, they obviously can't wait to show the Chinese a little bit on the field.
Yang Xiaolin believes that as long as he does not increase the hatred value of these people and does something to humiliate them, these old Maozi will be bent on how to kick the Chinese and will unconsciously transfer the hatred on the battlefield. (To be continued......)
