Part 3: Bloody War of Resistance  Chapter 11: Chaotian Que   Chapter 5: Dawn (Nine)

God is omnipotent, proud and powerful, allowing all suffering to disappear, allowing spring rain to fall, allowing fine wind to blow on the Buddha, allowing children to laugh, and allowing singing to float in the world.

But this is the beautiful side that God shows, and when it shows the tyrannical side, the disaster created is more terrifying than the devil.

The biggest problem is that even God himself does not know when he will be beautiful and when he will be terrible.

In the world, there is no god, and the people create gods. So people ascend to the altar and float in the cheers of the crowd, and disaster comes in the cheers.

The satisfaction that Zhuang Jihua received in that moment made him feel fear. It was a feeling of looking down at all sentient beings and despising everything; it was not the fear brought by this feeling, but the fear brought to him by those excited faces.

That is trust! That is expectation! That is desire!

There is no savior, but these ordinary, dark-skinned faces clearly state that you are our savior! You are our God!

"So dangerous!"

This is a sigh from the bottom of my heart. Who can refuse such support? When people want to push you to the altar, how many people have the rationality of rejection throughout the ages?

"When the first east expedition to regain Chaoshan, when the peasant gathering, Peng Pai went on stage to give a speech, and the people below shouted, "Let Peng Pai be the emperor. What is the emperor? He is the emperor, the son of heaven, not a man, but a god, but how can a man be a god?"

"Many people are talking about democracy and freedom, but what exactly is democracy and freedom? How many people understand? Is it a multi-party system that means democracy and freedom? I don't see it."

After a long time, Zhuang Jihua said to himself that Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu listened silently without interrupting the conversation.

"People are sometimes blind and trustworthy. Their judgment is very simple, but they are often easy to draw conclusions, which is actually very dangerous."

Zhuang Jihua kept talking to himself, his tone full of worry. Gong Xiuhua sighed slightly and finally interrupted him: "Cultural Revolution, some things are not achieved overnight. You have to take it slowly. Didn't you say that the important thing is education."

Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while before sighing: "This is harder than the War of Resistance and will take decades."

"I don't think so," Gong Xiuhua shook her head lightly: "I talked to Weber. When the United States was promoting universal suffrage, many people were also illiterate, and many people didn't know how to exercise the votes in their hands. But as long as they persisted, there would always be progress, and sooner or later they would understand."

Zhuang Jihua nodded after being silent. He only knew after he had done anything. If he never did it and just stayed in his mouth, then there would never be any progress.

The convoy arrived in Shenyang after dark, which saved a lot of trouble. Only Yang Sen and Shangguan Jun came to greet him. Yang Sen obviously became thinner. It turned out that his cheeks were already sagging. After occupying Shenyang, Yang Sen also served as the commander of Shenyang's security. The 24th Army was distributed in the Liaobei region. After receiving a telegram from Zhuang Jihua today, Wang Lingji was on his way back to Shenyang from Liaobei.

"The whole army is gathering in the Cultural Revolution. What happened? If we leave like this, what should we do on the territory?" Yang Sen asked anxiously when he met. The 24th Army did not participate in the battle in South Manchuria, but the mission was not light.

During the process of advancing into the Northeast, the Eighth Route Army's advance team left many guerrillas in Liaobei. The scale of these guerrillas was not large. After the battle of Northeast China began, the Japanese army contracted completely, and Liaobei was empty. The guerrillas took the opportunity to grow and grow. Base areas were established in many areas. Yang Sen continually clashed with them. Yang Sen forcibly recruited several guerrillas and dispersed two guerrillas. He was worried that once the main force of the group army left, the local GCD organization would rekindle.

"We'll talk about this later," said Zhuang Jihua: "Supervisor, has the headquarters arranged it?"

"Report to the commander, you're ready." Shangguan Jun felt nervous. Zhuang Jihua got off the car and asked the commander, explaining that the situation was very urgent. The theater command was selected as the Grand Marshal's Mansion of the former Zhang Zuolin. Yang Sen knew that the theater command would move to Chenyang at any time, so he had already sorted out the former Zhang Zuolin's Mansion of the General Manager, and the headquarters could move in.

Zhuang Jihua was stunned when he learned that he was in the original Grand Marshal's Mansion. He frowned and thought for a while and said, "No, you can't enter the Grand Marshal's Mansion. According to the laws of the Republic of China, this house is still owned by Zhang Xueliang. He will have to return it to Zhang Xueliang in the future and find another place."

Speaking of the latter, Zhuang Jihua's tone was already a little dissatisfied. Shangguan Jun felt a little sad. The Grand Marshal's Mansion was the best building in Chenyang City. It has six three-story houses and one floor underground. The entire Marshal's Mansion was not only spacious but also very sturdy. It was built by the Dutch Construction Company.

"The Cultural Revolution, I can't find a suitable place for this dark and dark place. Let's find another place tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll give you my commander, and I'll just go to two days first." Yang Sen was trying to smooth things over and chose the Grand Marshal's Mansion. In his opinion, it was impossible for Zhang Xueliang to return to the Northeast. The Grand Marshal's Mansion was empty, so I'll use it first.

Zhuang Jihua looked at the sky. It was completely dark. After rushing for a whole day, everyone was very tired and it was not appropriate to make adjustments. So he nodded: "Don't unload the things, just pull Beidaying directly, Brother Zihui, let your brother help watch. From now on, the headquarters will be located in Beidaying."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he asked Yang Sen to get in the car with him, leaving Shangguan Jun standing there with a look of frustration.

Yang Sen got into Zhuang Jihua's car, and his heart was also up and down at this moment. He had several conflicts with the Eighth Route Army in Liaobei. Zhuang Jihua has always been known for his pro-community and was worried about being blamed by him.

"Brother Zihui, I did a good job in Liaobei." What surprised Yang Sen was that Zhuang Jihua actually admired this: "Sometimes it is also beneficial to be tough."

Yang Sen was excited and smiled as if he was blooming: "That's right, I'm not raking tofu, I'm the turn of them to pinch it. I don't show any power. I don't know that Prince Ma has three eyes."

"Stalin is coming."

Yang Sen was stunned and looked at Zhuang Jihua in a daze. Zhuang Jihua repeated another sentence. Yang Sen realized that he slapped his thigh: "x***! This old dog x, it happened that my two soldiers were bored, so they beat him up to raise a bitch!"

After cursing for a few words, Yang Sen suddenly looked at Zhuang Jihua and frowned and asked, "Cultural Revolution, do you think it was brought by TMD and the others?"

Although Yang Sen did not explain who they were, everyone in the car knew who they were talking about. Zhuang Jihua shook his head solemnly: "In fact, the information this time was provided by them."

Yang Sen was stunned for a moment and said for a long time: "What's going on with this tmd? Why are they?"

"I don't know what exactly. I'll stay in Shenyang for two days. In two days, I'll go to Changchun and Harbin. The main force of the war zone will move northward one after another and rush to Heilongjiang." Zhuang Jihua's expression was cold, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with the ability to teach Stalin a lesson.

Jeep drove past the streets of Chenyang. In summer, the streets of Chenyang were filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. There were many pedestrians coming up. Many shops were wearing national flags. Armed patrols patrol the streets, and public security seemed very good. However, Zhuang Jihua also noticed that there were no lights on in several blocks.

"The Japanese bombed the power plant before they escaped, and now only part of the workshop has been repaired," Yang Sen explained when he noticed Zhuang Jihua's expression. But as soon as the chatter opened, he couldn't stop: "The factory in Chenyang was severely damaged, and the arsenal was most severely damaged, and almost all of them were blown up. The expert team believes that it will take at least one year to restore to the past."

Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly. It was already lucky to recapture Chen Yangeng like this. Almost the entire city of Tianjin was destroyed. The luckiest thing about the Northeast Battle was that there were not many refugees. The Japanese army retreated very quickly. The real battle mainly occurred in the Shanhaiguan area, Nanman area, Jinzhou, Chenyang, Changchun and Harbin. These large cities with concentrated populations almost all went down without fighting, and the city damage was extremely small.

"How many unemployed workers are there in the city?" Zhuang Jihua asked again. The Japanese army destroyed many factories, which would inevitably cause a large number of workers to be unemployed, which is also very serious.

"It's still counting," said Yang Sen. "at least tens of thousands, but many civilian factories have not suffered much damage."

Zhuang Jihua adjusted his sitting posture: "Brother Zihui, Wang Fangzhou is leaving the army and serving as the proposed chairman of Xing'an Province. I will hand it over to you all the 24th Army. You have to formulate a mixed-incorporation plan and implement it after the war is over."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he didn't hear Yang Sen's answer. He turned his head to look at Yang Sen. Yang Sen's eyes were wide open and he looked dissatisfied. Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but ask with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Why is it him!" Yang Sen shouted: "How can Guan Wang Ling be the provincial chairman?!"

Zhuang Jihua was completely surprised, and even Wu Ziniu turned his head to look at Yang Sen. Yang Sen and Wang Lingji have been working together for nearly two years. When they were in the Jiangnan War Zone, they still supported each other. According to Zhuang Jihua's idea, the two of them would at least not undermine each other. Unexpectedly, Wang Lingji became the provincial chairman and the first person to object was Yang Sen.

Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while, and secretly scolded himself for being confused. Although these Sichuan generals often helped each other during the War of Resistance, they were for self-protection. On the one hand, they were for self-protection in the war, and on the other hand, they were also against the central government. When external pressure disappeared, conflicts between them emerged.

"Brother Zihui, I thought you wanted to stay in the army. In fact, I also hope that you can stay in the army and continue to lead the 24th Army. The Northeast will be divided into six provinces, one of GCD, two of the former Northeast Army. In Tian, ​​Director Xiong nominated one, and the rest is Xing'an Province. I thought about it and decided to give Wang Fangzhou. You and Brother Decao will continue to stay in the army and serve the country. To be honest, Xing'an Province is in poverty, and I am still worried that Wang Fangzhou will refuse."

Yang Sen hesitated, then laughed. Zhuang Jihua's explanation showed that in his mind, Yang Sen and Sun Zhen were much more important than Wang Lingji, which made him very satisfied.

"Cultural Revolution, you entered Sichuan in the 21st year of the Republic of China. Today, we have been in the same relationship for twelve years," Yang Sen's tone was slow and solemn. He paused for a while. He looked at Zhuang Jihua and said, "In a simple sentence, we believe in you. What you said to us twelve years ago has now been fulfilled. To be honest, we don't really believe in the Chairman. This is not my opinion alone."

In this last sentence, Yang Sen increased his tone. In recent years, Yang Sen only felt refreshed when fighting under the command of Zhuang Jihua. When fighting in Jiangnan, logistics supplies and replenishing troops were cut, and the troops were almost reduced several times. It was not until they returned to Zhuang Jihua that they completely got rid of this situation.

Secondly, Chuanzhong Qunhao was firmly tied to the Sichuan Development Company chariot by Zhuang Jihua. During the entire war, Chiang Kai-shek had his ideas on this company countless times and had many conflicts with Chuanzhong Qunhao. This is also an important reason why Chuanjun Qunhao decided to support Zhuang Jihua.

Of course, it was not Yang Sen and Sun Zhen who saw through the serious conflicts between Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek, but Deng Xihou who stayed in Sichuan.

Before this, Chuanzhong Qunhao relied on Zhuang Jihua, but he hoped to choose the faction that was most beneficial to them among the central factions. However, after Deng Xihou returned to Sichuan, he had the opportunity to observe the relationship between various factions within the Kuomintang up close. After a year of observation, he concluded that the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua was not as harmonious as the outside world showed. The two had a big conflict. Chuanzhong Qunhao wanted to protect himself and it was best to fully support Zhuang Jihua.

This conclusion was later confirmed, and Chiang Kai-shek removed Zhuang Jihua's position as commander of the Expeditionary Force. Zhuang Jihua immediately went away from the northwest and stayed in Xi'an for nearly half a year before returning.

Deng Xihou's judgment was supported by the heroes of Chuanzhong who stayed in Sichuan, and Deng Hanxiang, Qiao Yifu and others who belonged to the 21st Army Department also agreed to choose Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua's emergency report caused great shock in Chongqing. After receiving the telegram, Chen Cheng rushed to the Huangshan Villa with Bai Chongxi. When he arrived at the Huangshan Villa, Chiang Kai-shek had already received a report from the Military Commission.

"Yu Nong, do you have any information on this?"

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't believe that Stalin was going to provoke trouble again just after the Chongqing agreement was signed. What's more, Roosevelt was planning a summit of the four major powers in Cairo. At this critical moment, would Stalin take such action?

Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi also expressed suspicion. From a military perspective, China concentrated millions of troops in the Northeast, and the Japanese retreated to North Korea, which greatly reduced the threat to the Northeast. Moreover, even if the Northeast War Zone distributed some troops to deal with the Japanese army, it still had enough troops to deal with the Soviet army that crossed the border.

"No," Dai Li replied, "We have not received any information in this regard." Speaking of this, he paused for a look at Chiang Kai-shek's expression, and then added, "However, the Soviet army is approaching the border of Heilongjiang."

"This is natural, but it doesn't mean that they will invade the northeast of our country." Chiang Kai-shek interrupted Dai Li, staring at Dai Li with some anger and said sternly: "What are your intelligence departments busy all day long? The national finances are so difficult, and they still allocate so much money to you every year, but what about your performance? The intelligence actually comes from the front line! What do you want to do?"

Dai Li immediately sweated on his head. This was not the first time he was scolded recently. The last time it was because the democrats gathered in a spiritual fortress. They didn't know that Zhou Enlai would attend the rally. It was because Yan Xishan, Shanxi, secretly reached an agreement with GCD, and GCD gave up the two counties in southwestern Shanxi in exchange for the promise of peaceful coexistence in Yan Xishan.

Dai Li glanced at Chen Cheng with the corner of his eyes, and the latter looked at him expressionlessly.
