David's bewilderment
I'm sorry, it's been interrupted for so long, and due to work reasons, I have been drilling a ravine for half a month, and there is really no condition to update. I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me, and continue to support the artillery fire, I promise 6,000 words of updates every day this month, thank you!
"Great! This new 22nd Division has finally been killed, otherwise the face of our East China Military Region will be gone! Mr. Chen said very happily. I caught two very valuable figures, one is Shen Youfa, the commander of the new 22nd Division, and the other is David, the colonel of American artillery! The staff officer said. That David is an American, send him to Yan'an, as for that Shen Youfa, I have an idea" Mr. Chen said, "Several of our comrades have been arrested, isn't this guy Chen Cheng's nephew?" Let's see if we can exchange him for those comrades back! "Do you mean the comrades who were arrested in northern Jiangsu a few days ago? That's a good idea! "The staff officer agreed!" Okay, so let's do it! Get in touch with the other party first, and then make conditions! Mr. Chen said.
In fact, among the comrades mentioned by Mr. Chen, one of them was Sima Hong's old superior, a comrade codenamed Baozi. These people have mastered a large number of situations in enemy-occupied areas, and once someone can't bear the move, it will bring heavy losses to the underground work in the enemy-occupied area, so Mr. Chen decided to use this second generation to exchange them back. After some contact, the other party agreed to exchange, but the condition of the exchange was not Shen Youfa, but the American David! This American is a colonel, the main thing is because he is an American, and more importantly, he already knows about Liu Hai's participation in the PLA! Due to the importance of the matter, Mr. Chen was also a little undecided, and finally decided to ask the central government for advice! But the opinion of the Central Committee has not yet come down, this American has come to trouble, and David said that he is unwilling to return to the national army, on the grounds that he is tired of this boring war that has nothing to do with him, and insists on meeting the artillery commander Liu Hai who defeated him! Mr. Chen had no choice but to wait for the instructions of the Central Committee, and the instructions of the Central Committee were very simple, agreeing to exchange David for his comrades, but he could not divulge Liu Hai's affairs in the People's Liberation Army! For this order, Mr. Chen felt that it was simply a paradox, but at the suggestion of a staff officer, Mr. Chen decided to hand over this task to Liu Hai!
"How can I do such a thing, I'm not a political worker, I'm an artillery commander!" Liu Hai was very surprised by such a task! "Maybe the organization considered the factor that David wanted to see you before letting you go, if you send someone else, David won't agree with our beliefs at all, and I also think that only you can do it!" Sima Hong said to Liu Hai. "This David is a very professional soldier, and there are American values and theories that are difficult for us Chinese to understand, and it is very difficult to change his decision!" "I'll go with you, although I can't shoot, but after all, I've been with him in India for a while!" Sima Hong said. "Well, I'll try it, it's best to have the best of both worlds!" Bangs thought for a while and said.
"Colonel David, we're meeting again!" Bangs looked at David, who was still wearing an American colonel's uniform, and said. "Senior Commander Liu, we have already met, it was on the battlefield, I never thought that we would meet in this situation, to be honest, I am embarrassed!" Davy stands up and salutes bangs! "Why are you embarrassed?" Bangs asked a little strangely. "When I was in India, I was your army instructor, but now I am your prisoner, and I always lose to the students!" David said. "Hehe, we Chinese have a saying that the blue is better than the blue, and I can defeat you, which fully shows that you are very effective as an instructor!" Bangs said with a smile. "You are too modest, you have already shown your strength when you were in India, but we have not competed, and now it turns out that I am not qualified to be your instructor! I'm just one of your cannon maintenance staff, telling you how to maintain the cannon, in terms of the combat level of the cannon, I can't compare to you! David said, shaking his head. I heard that you don't want to go back to the Nationalist Government? Why? ”
Bangs asked. "It's very simple, I don't want to end up with the national government!" David said, "I want to go home!" ”
"Colonel David, thank you very much for your evaluation of me, I won't hide it from you, it was the Nationalist Government who proposed to exchange a few of our arrested comrades for you to go back, if you go back, our comrades may be released, do you understand?" Liu Hai said frankly. The reason for being honest is because David is not stupid, and if he finds out that he has been deceived, it will affect him not to talk about his own business! "If I go back, I will still be ordered to join the Kuomintang troops to participate in the battle, there is no suspense in this war, but most people are still lucky!" David said. "Colonel David, to be honest, as a former friend, I still regard you as my friend, I advise you from the position of a friend, you must go back, because we have no way to send you home, an officer like you Russian will also be interested, if you don't have the opportunity to go back, your future will be very uncertain!" Bangs said. "At least I can hide from the war and wait until the war is over as a prisoner of war!" David said. "Not necessarily, we are not the regime after all, in your words, we are rebels, we often need to transfer and fight, and there is no way to protect your safety! After you go back, you can resolutely apply for a transfer from the battlefield, then it is possible to return to China, after all, you are an American, and the Nationalist Government will give full consideration to your opinions, so that you can not only avoid the war, but also see your wife and children! Bangs continued to persuade.
"Master Liu, I believe that what you said is sincere, there are indeed many uncertainties in staying with you, and wanting to go home is a reason, but the main reason why I want to stay is not to avoid the war, but to understand the Communist Party thoroughly. When you were in India, you would rather not be a life-threatening aid to you than to maintain your loyalty to the Nationalist Government, but how did the Communist Party make you make such a big change and turn to her enemies? In my heart, you are a professional and excellent soldier, according to your Chinese tradition, soldiers should not ask about politics, how does the Communist Party make you change your beliefs, I am really curious, I want to understand, because we are fundamentally opposed to communism, I very much want to know how communism has changed you! You know, in this war of you Chinese, there are also many Americans who are bleeding and dying, and professional soldiers like you have undergone such a big change, so out of recognition of you, I want to know what we American soldiers are fighting for in this war, what is the point of doing this, this is very important to us Americans! "Hehe, this issue is a bit complicated, to be honest, I don't know very much until now, originally my principle was to fight only for the country and the people, I really didn't care much about that party, but then I found out that the Kuomintang has changed, it seems that it is no longer for the country and the people, but for the power of Chairman Chiang!" The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is over, what a government should do is to unite all parties, embark on the road of founding the country, stop the people and disperse the soldiers, and let the country heal the wounds of the war! However, Chairman Chiang did not do this, he only prepared to eliminate dissidents at the first time, completely ignoring the country and people that had been scarred in the War of Resistance Against Japan, which made me very disappointed, and made me feel that the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was over, but the disaster of the country and the people was not over, because of Chairman Chiang's power, and my feeling was that he was no longer qualified to lead the country and the nation. As for my participation in the Communist Party, it was also due to a series of reasons, but there is one thing I want to correct you, that is, my faith has not changed, that is, I will always fight for my country and nation! But one thing I can tell you is that my change has nothing to do with you, this is our Chinese own business, what you are doing in this war, the same as me, is also for the interests of your American future in China, as you said, the Americans and us are completely opposed, if our communists become emperors, you will have no place in China, so Colonel David, your combat is still meaningful to you as an American soldier! ”
"Your feelings are very real, that's what your chairman did, but the mind of a politician is not something that we soldiers can understand, all we can do is obey orders, but are you sure that the Communist Party is for the country and the nation and not for power?" David asked after thinking for a long time. "I think whether a political party is for the country and the nation, the most powerful proof is the people's attitude towards him, the Communist Party has always been quite popular with the support of the public, its policy of reducing rent, interest and land may be in your opinion to distribute the rich people's money to the poor to spend, but like now in China, more than 90 percent of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of less than one percent, and it will be rejected in any country. However, the difference between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang lies in the fact that the Communist Party has controlled this gap between the rich and the poor within an acceptable range by means of policy, alleviated social contradictions, and allowed the broad masses of the people to obtain some guarantees for their living requirements, while the Kuomintang has turned a blind eye to this, and even takes the protection of the rich percent as its main responsibility. They can be called representatives of the country and the nation, and to fight for them is to fight for the country and the nation!
