The person in charge of the execution immediately raised the head of the gun, waited for Zhu Yongquan to walk in, and asked, "Chief of Staff?" How did you get here? ”

"Xiu Shuai has an order, keep someone under the gun, and I will take this person away." Zhu Yongquan said.

The executioner said: "Chief of staff, do you have a certificate?" ”

"I forgot to bring it in a hurry when I came."

The executioner shook his head and said, "Chief of Staff, this is not good, we will never stop the execution without your evidence." ”

Zhu Yongquan said angrily: "Am I going to lie to you? ”

The executioner said: "This is not a question of whether to deceive or not, this is a matter of principle. As soon as he turned around, he shouted to the soldiers: "Raise your gun!" Preparation! ”

Zhu Yongquan gritted his teeth and suddenly jumped off the horse to block in front of Sesto, and said, "If you want to kill her, shoot me first." ”

The firing team members hurriedly raised the muzzle of their guns, they didn't dare to point their guns at the chief of staff, let alone shoot, several people looked at each other, and the firing captain said helplessly: "Chief of staff, don't be embarrassed for the little brother, the little brother is also acting on orders." ”

"I'm also doing what I'm told." Zhu Yongquan said.

No matter how stupid Sesto is, he knows what happened, looking at Zhu Yongquan's not upright figure, he suddenly felt that he was so tall, in order to save himself, he did not hesitate to disobey military orders, such a man is a hero, such a man is a real hero.

When the two sides were arguing, Wang Maoru's adjutant Ma Liang rode over and said, "Xiushuai order, release Sesto, and be taken away by Chief of Staff Zhu for disposal." ”

Zhu Yongquan sighed, took out the dagger he carried with him to untie the rope that bound Sesto, and then took her hand and walked to his horse, turned over on the horse, and stretched out his hand to signal Sesto to get on the horse as well.

Sesto was rescued by him, and he held his hand again, and his heart was suddenly full of security. She has never felt this way, she has always been proud and confident, she is the daughter of the tribal chief, and at the same time a beautiful girl like a night pearl in the Tatar steppe, how many people are fascinated by her, she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child. This also developed her arrogant habits and character, and she always thought that the world revolved around her. But what happened in the past few days made her realize what is between life and death, and what is mortal, it turns out that she will also die. Originally. There is more power in this world than those who protect themselves. The Generalissimo of China wanted to kill her, and none of his brother or tribe dared to resist, but he saved himself. This weak military advisor. He did not hesitate to disobey the handsome order to save himself, he saved himself, did he hope that one day he would have a man who bravely protected himself since he was a child? Those so-called strong grassland men are not as responsible as this weak middle ** teacher. Brave.

Sesto clenched his hand, was pulled by his hand, rolled over his horse, sat down in front of him, leaned into his arms, and said in Turkic: "You are my hero Alep. El. Tonga. (Hero of the epic of Turkic heroes, who led the Turks to victory over the Mongols, Romans, Arabs)

The returning party continued to move forward. The daily migration of 500,000 people was a tedious affair, especially after entering Asak, where the desolate land had not seen a single river for a long time. For this reason, Wang Maoru specially ordered everyone to store enough water, and now water has become the most important resource, not food. Of course. At the same time, the hunting party also hunted around the area to supplement the lack of food in the team. Because of the protection of the army, 500,000 people fought steadily and steadily, but they became more united.

Wang Mao leaned back in his chair while smoking a cigarette. Yong Xingbao stopped riding a horse and sat in the command car with him, and the two of them held fans to fan the wind. Yong Xingbao smiled: "Xiushuai, this is done." ”

Wang Maoru nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, you did a good job." ”

Yong Xingbao said: "But my subordinates don't quite understand, why did you do this?" ”

"A very important reason," Wang Maoru shook a finger, "I want to calm the hearts of these people in the Western Regions, there is no doubt that I wish the chief of staff is." ”

"Does he know your good intentions?"

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Someone sued him afterwards. ”

Yong Xingbao smiled slightly and said, "Xiushuai, you are really ......"

"Those who can work harder." Wang Maoru patted him on the shoulder and said.

Just as he was talking and laughing, Ma Liang walked in and said, "Qi Yu Xiushuai, the chief of the General Staff of Northeast Jiang has an urgent telegram. ”

"What's the hurry?"

"Japan's representative of the former chairman of the Manchurian Railway, Naito Shinpei, visited the Chief of General Staff Chiang and expressed to you the ...... of the Great Japanese Empire through Chief of General Staff Chiang"

Wang Maoru interrupted him and said: "The Japanese devil country is not the Great Japanese Empire, do you know?" ”

"Yes."

"Pay attention to the wording later."

"Yes." Ma Liang hurriedly said: "It is the Devil Country that wants to mediate the conflict between our department and the central Anhui system, and hopes to reach a series of agreements with our side to invite us to participate in the intervention army again." ”

Wang Maoru frowned and said, "Isn't the war in the Northeast over?" ”

"The overall situation has been decided, the remaining small-scale conflicts and disputes, the Anhui system has withdrawn to its original territory, our department has recovered Rehe, the current governor of Rehe is vacant, and the chief of the general staff of Jiang asked Xiushuai to decide." Ma Liang said respectfully, "At this stage, the front of our army has arrived in Luan County and occupied Changli County, Funing County, Linyu County, Dushan Establishment Metallurgical Bureau, Qian'an County, and Zunhua County. These six counties are under the jurisdiction of Cao Kun, the direct overseer, and at this stage, Cao Kun is powering electricity, hoping that our department will return its six county territory. ”

Wang Maoru nodded and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The devil wants us to ...... Assist the devils to intervene in the army's return to the Far East. ”

"The original purpose is here, what bullshit to participate in the intervention army, in fact, he just wants us to be their rescuers." Wang Maoru sneered: "The Far East is ours, and the devil still wants to get the Far East?" Dream on! He also said: "I wish the chief of staff, the chief of general affairs, and the staff of the staff department to discuss." ”

"Yes."

After several think tanks arrived, Zhu Yongquan was the first to object to the request of the Japanese, he had an enmity with the Japanese, and it was not difficult to understand his hatred for the Japanese all along. And Li Pinxian also said that it would be better to simply wait for the Japanese to die, and Jiang Dengxuan, Zhao Qing, and Du Baosan also resolutely supported not aiding the Japanese intervention army. In terms of national sentiment, the occupation of Chinese territory and the massacre of the Chinese people, no Chinese person will not remember this hatred. Especially the soldiers, the Lushun Massacre more than ten years ago is still vivid, the Russo-Japanese War took place in China, but the Chinese people cannot interfere, which is still a great insult to the Chinese people. Even if the people's combat ability is not satisfactory, even if they have also brought disaster to the country and the people, when foreign enemies invade, they still devote themselves to defending the country as always.

Of course. Among the soldiers, there are also those who remain calm, Ren Yuanxing shook his head and said: "Everyone can be angry, but we are saved, and the Japanese are saved." ”

"What? Save them? Jiang Dengxuan slapped the table, "Damn." Absolutely not! This damn bitch. Dalian, Taiwan, and Shandong are all occupied by him, and now we still want to take them? Unless we get our territory back. ”

Yong Xingbao carefully compared it on the map. Wang Maoru asked: "Staff Officer Yong, tell me." ”

Yong Xingbao raised his head and said, "It is impossible for the Japanese to return these places, especially Dalian and Taiwan, please see-" He pointed to the surroundings of Japan, "Japan has always been a country with extremely scarce resources. It relied too much on the sea, so Japan's original national policy was to focus on the sea. This is also the reason why the Beiyang Naval Division had the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan ships so stimulated Japan so much, and this is also the reason why Japan's development is dominated by the navy. In order to guarantee their maritime superiority, Japan created an open sea chain from Sakhalin in the north to Vladivostok, Korea, Dalian, Shandong, Taiwan. In this way, the East Asian seas were completely enveloped by the Japanese Navy, and the East Asian seas became Japan's inland seas, which could be replenished at any time. Now that this sea belonging to Japan has taken shape, they will never give up these colonies in order to ensure Japan's interests. He touched the stubble on his chin. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese will never give up the territory they have occupied, and we will not save it. There is nothing to gain for us. ”

Li Pinxian said with a smile: "Yes, Chief of Staff Yong means that we won't save it." Haha, I'll just say, the Japanese devils should be damned. ”

Wang Maoru nodded, the despicable Japanese will never give up the colony, relying on Japan's first navy and army in Asia, how can they give up the fat in their mouths. It's just that at this time, Japan's colonies far exceeded Japan's territory by two times, and Japan's army's protection of the colonies had reached its limit.

Yong Xingbao shook his head and said, "I also agree with Master Ren's opinion, we have to save it." ”

"Why?"

"Because it's good for us." Yongxing Bao said, "Tongguò to save the Japanese intervention army, our department can have enough time and energy to digest the territory. Xiushuai, what we lack now is time, the five provinces in the Northeast, the Outer Northeast and the Outer Northwest, all need time to digest, especially the Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest that do not belong to us now. We need time and energy, three, at least three years, before we can swallow all three. And if we really want to incorporate the Outer Northeast and the Outer Northwest into Chinese territory, it will not work without the support of the great powers, especially Japan. ”

Wang Maoru nodded, thought for a while and said, "Yes, Chief of Staff Yong has explained one thing to me, that is, our department's ability to digest territory. This is something that has always been worried in my heart but has not figured it out, the pace of our army is too fast, so fast that my department has expanded from 70,000 troops to 500,000 troops in three years, and this kind of pace not only makes me, but also makes many generals blindly confident. However, our territory has not been truly consolidated, and the people have no sense of belonging to our army. And the expansion of our army has already caused unrest in Anhui. Now that the Anhui government army has been blocked, the direct line, the Northwest Army, and the all-** army may slowly form a group to fight against our army's group. If we go out of the customs and enter the Central Plains now, if we can't decide the world in one game, we will face the point of being divided. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had the overlord method of accumulating grain and slowly becoming king, and the reason why we were able to determine the Northeast in one fell swoop was entirely because of the results of military training in Hulunbuir, that is to say, we are now eating the old book, eating the old book of Hulunbuir. If we don't stop to reflect and digest, we are facing disintegration. Therefore, I am determined not to enter the Central Plains within three years, recuperate for three years, and strengthen the army for three years. ”
