Chapter 13: The Fisherman and the Fish
The second pole on the other side of the phone finally spoke: "xiexie." When can I go and pick up the goods? ”
"Ask if they're preparing for war!"
Domliksava immediately said: "You can come to me at any time, as long as you have time, I will arrange it." By the way, I want to ask you a question, is war really inevitable? ”
There was no answer on the other end of the phone, and Soldorf waved his hand busily, meaning to ask her to turn the question over quickly, so as not to arouse any alarm on the second pole.
"You know, I'm scared, I'm really scared when I'm asleep and suddenly a shell hits, I hate war."
Domliksava found a very haode cover for herself, and the second pole on the other side of the phone hesitated and said: "Actually, I don't like to fight either, you know, I've always wanted to find a place where I can farm with peace of mind." ”
Domliksava chuckled softly into the phone: "Okay, there are some things that we can't control, I think we might as well make an appointment now?" ”
The second pole said: "Tomorrow, I have those things in an emergency, this time it's really xiexie you." ”
This is the second time that the second pole has said xiexie to her, and Soldorf moved his mouth at this time, and Domliksava saw it very clearly, and immediately said: "If you really want to xiexie me, can you invite me to dinner?" ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone again, and this time the second pole almost doubted that his ears would hear it wrong! Now he is not the Erbi youth of a few years ago, and after reading a few Russian books, he also knows that a Russian woman takes the initiative to let a man invite her to dinner, at least it shows that she has a good impression of this man.
He was dizzy, his feelings for Domliksava could be said to be buried deep in his heart, which was suddenly turned out, and what he once thought was impossible was at hand, and he actually forgot to answer.
Domliksava then asked, "What?" Do you have no money, or don't you want to hire me? ”
"Oh. Neither, I promise to invite you to dinner when you come. ”
"Okay, that's it."
Putting down the phone, the second pole was stunned for a long time, and then I didn't know how happy I was! He jumped up from the chair at once, jumped on the table, then jumped over the table and fell to the ground, hugged the stunned staff officer on the side and kissed him fiercely: "Haha! Zhao Wen, you are very handsome today! ”
Zhao Wen used to be a personal soldier of Lord Zhang Zhidong, a cultured person. Lord Jang Zhidong threw his life behind the Northeast. They were also taken prisoner in a daze. Originally, he thought that he was dead, and the name of Yang Fighting Ghost was really thunderous in the Guannei.
But later Commander Yang actually said that they could choose to stay or leave by themselves, which really surprised Zhao Wen, he was ready to leave, but before getting on the train, he had nothing to do to listen to Zou Rong's lecture, and after listening, he chose to stay.
He works hard, and he does have a bit of a level of education and a little cleverness. In the newly formed 11th Division, he soon took up the post of staff officer. It is a miracle that a newcomer can immediately become a staff officer of the division headquarters in the armies of other countries, even among the volunteers, and it is considered to be very fast.
The most fundamental reason why Zhao Wen was so fast was that he was originally a revolutionary party. After listening to Zou Rong's lecture, he immediately found Zou Rong. explained his identity, and after Zou Rong's verification, this can be regarded as his finding of the organization. In addition to helping the second pole train troops, his mission in the 11th Division was to assist Zou Rong in propagating the revolution. Zou Rong's request to him was to turn this newly formed unit into a revolutionary force.
Propaganda for these revolutionaries. Yang Xiaolin is a team that maintains a supportive attitude, because Commander Yang also always believes that let his soldiers have a faith. It's not a bad thing to fight for your faith.
Zhao Wen has a good impression of the division commander of the second pole, although he is rude, and sometimes his brain can't turn around, but he is easy to get along with and has no heart. But seriously, the performance of the second pole today is really a little abnormal! Are you really handsome?
Zhao Wen subconsciously looked in the mirror, then turned his head and pulled the second pole that was excited about the transition: "Commander, what's wrong?" ”
The second pole was still smiling: "Haha! My brother is happy, my brother is so happy! The Russians gave me that shipment! ”
Zhao Wen shook his head when he heard this, he definitely didn't believe that this was the reason. But he didn't ask anything more: "Don't be happy, there are important things to do today." The headquarters called and said that the artillery would be delivered soon, and the brothers of the artillery division came with them, and Deputy Commander Zhang asked you to prepare food for 8,000 people from the army for six days, and also sent a brigade brother to pick it up and help transport the shells. ”
He said and put the detailed report on the table: "Two requirements, the first is security, and the second is confidentiality. ”
The second pole picked up the document and looked at it: "Let the brothers of the 14th Brigade go." When I met people along the way, I said that I was going to practice, and then, the shells went on the road at night, and the warning range was expanded by five kilometers. No, the safety point, you go and keep an eye on it for me. ”
After speaking, he opened the cabinet placed in the corner, put this important document inside, locked it, and then ran to the mirror as well: "Zhao Wen, you said that if I invite a woman to dinner, is it not appropriate to wear a military uniform?" My brother hasn't bought any clothes in the past few years, so I have to find a shop to catch a decent one when I go back. ”
The second pole has been wearing a military uniform all these years, and he really doesn't have the clothes to shoot. Domliksava can be said to be the only woman who has moved her heart for so many years, and now she wants to invite her to dinner, you really have to be serious.
Unbeknownst to the second pole, just as he decided to take this meeting seriously, two telegrams with identical contents were being delivered.
One was sent from Liaoping to the Russian army headquarters in Heilongjiang: "Fish, it's hooked." ”
Another telegram was also sent from Liaoping, but it was sent to Yang Xiaolin in Beijing: "Fish, hooked." ”
Beijing.
Yang Xiaolin is in the process of negotiating with Mr. Sun Wen before the talks, which were requested by Sun Wen and arranged by Zou Rong.
Zou Rong knew the attitude of those revolutionaries towards Yang Xiaolin, and the two sides were very unhappy because the Northeast did not send troops, which made Zou Rong, who also took revolution as his purpose, felt very embarrassed. On the one hand, he has the same pursuit as Sun Wen and other revolutionaries, and on the other hand, he has been fighting side by side with Yang Xiaolin in recent years, just like Chen Tianhua. Even if they are very dissatisfied with Yang Xiaolin's lack of troops, but everything in the Northeast is everyone's hard work, and Zou Rong hopes to see a happy ending.
From the perspective of the overall situation, Sun Wen has already said that the federation can be discussed, and at this time, Zou Rong thinks that it is necessary to let Yang Xiaolin and Sun Wen have a conversation to resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides. From a personal point of view, he did not want Commander Yang to stand on the opposite side of the revolutionaries.
So after Sun Wen found Zou Rong, Zou Rong immediately pulled Yang Xiaolin into Sun Wen's room. Commander Yang was really a little afraid to see Sun Wen. It's not that he's afraid of Sun Wen, it's just that he really doesn't know how to face Sun Wen.
Before he met Sun Wen, Yang Xiaolin admired the father of the country very much, but with his contact with Sun Wen, the god-like image slowly collapsed. If only Sun Wen was really a heinous villain. It is history that has deceived itself.
But Sun Wen is not a bad guy, his selflessness, his fighting spirit of dedicating his life for the Chinese nation, and his perseverance of never giving up all make Yang Xiaolin admire him very much. It's just that they took different paths, which made Commander Yang very conflicted.
"Xiaolin, if I give up the Federation, will you fulfill your original promise?"
The meeting was in Sun Wen's room. There were only four people present, Sun Wen, Yang Xiaolin, and Zou Rong. There is also a young man who has been standing behind Mr. Sun Wen, about twenty years old, who seems to be Sun Wen's follower or bodyguard or something.
Yang Xiaolin looked at the young man and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. He smiled. did not answer Sun Wen directly, but asked rhetorically: "Are you willing?" ”
Sun Wen took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer next to him and handed one to Yang Xiaolin. The young man in the back immediately lit a match.
"I told you that my ideal is to build a democratic China. The reason why I proposed a federal form of government in the first place was because I felt that it was very suitable for the development of the situation in China after the Wuchang Revolution, and that it could integrate the revolution of the whole country as quickly as possible to achieve the goal of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”
Sun Wen's eyes still revealed the firmness in his heart, and his tone was very calm, but in the calmness, the good phenomenon leaked incomparable confidence: "Now that the goal of overthrowing the Manchu Qing has been achieved, and from the current point of view, it is very difficult to realize the Federation, and I must make concessions to Yuan Shikai." I say something maybe you don't believe it, if Yuan Shikai is willing to republic, I will support him in this negotiation! When democracy can be realized, I will do everything in my power to make China avoid war! Do you really want me to be reluctant to be that president? ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded, he believed in Sun Wen, really believed.
"Sir, if you have such an attitude, I believe that you will be satisfied with this negotiation."
Sun Wen looked at him for a while: "Xiaolin, what I want to work hard now is to let Yuan Shikai become the president and have a liliang to contain him!" You may not know Yuan Shikai as a person, although he always pretends to be a decent gentleman, but he is a standard villain in his bones! If there is no Liliang who can contain him, democracy will definitely be destroyed in his hands! He's going to be a dictatorship! ”
Not to mention, Yang Xiaolin and Sun Wen really have the same opinion on this point!
Yang Xiaolin asked, "Well, how does that gentleman want me to cooperate with you?" ”
Sun Wen stood up: "Give me your troops, so that I have enough liliang to contain Yuan Shikai, and in the future government of New China, he will not be able to do whatever he wants!" We only need to contain him for ten years, Yuan Shikai is old now, and he will definitely step down after ten years, when democracy becomes a fixed formula, our generation can hand over a satisfactory answer to the mission. ”
Give him your own army? Sun Wen said this reasonably. Yang Xiaolin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it was a bit excessive, and only a frank person like Sun Wen could say it so directly. Openness is Sun Wen's merit, he puts the country first, the nation first, and he believes that everyone should give up their own interests when the country needs it.
Sun Wen's disadvantage is that he thinks of others as openly as he does. He believes that everyone should respond to the call of the state and do not care about personal gains and losses for the sake of the country. Therefore, after the Xinhai Revolution in history, he created one warlord after another in the south.
At that time, Sun Wen was very popular, as soon as he came back, the warlords immediately welcomed Sun Wen to their territory, and they used Sun Wen's prestige to develop their own shili, and when they developed, when Mr. Sun Wen wanted them to go to the revolution, they kicked Sun Wen away.
Now that the same is the case, is Commander Yang likely to give up the army? Give Sun Wen all the hard work he has built in the past few years? Maybe it's because I'm really not as noble as Sun Wen, anyway, every time I talk to Sun Wen, I can talk about going together at the beginning, and there will be differences when I talk about it.
