The great battle, which was initiated by the Japanese army, began on April 9 and ended on June 2, lasting a total of 55 days. The casualties of the Nationalist troops fighting against it were not small, but at the same time, they also killed and injured a large number of Japanese soldiers, and the casualties of more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers were not small losses for the Japanese army. But for Tang Cheng, who was stranded in the rear, during this period, there was a major event that was even more shocking than this battle.

On the afternoon of April 30, 1945, Nazi Germany's Führer Hitler committed suicide in the midst of gunfire in the Battle of Berlin, and in his will appointed Field Marshal Dönitz as President of Germany and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. On 2 May, the commander of the German Berlin City Defense Force, General Widling, ordered the Germans to cease resistance. On 7 May, Admiral Jodel, a representative of the German government, signed the unconditional surrender of Germany to the representatives of the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union at the Allied High Command in Reims.

"Did you read the newspaper? Have you read the newspaper? Mike, who was excited, had just come back from the city, so he came directly to Tang Cheng, holding a few newspapers that smelled of ink in his hand. I don't know what kind of wind Mike is smoking, Tang Cheng on the recliner just shook his head blankly, where is there a newspaper sold at the airport, and since after breakfast, Tang Cheng has been nesting in the recliner with his eyes closed, where will he have time to read any newspaper.

Mike grinned and handed the newspaper in his hand to Tang Cheng, "Look at it, Japan is almost unable to hold on, just yesterday, the heads of state of the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain held a secret meeting in Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin, during which an ultimatum-style announcement to Japan was issued. Mike's words made Tang Chengteng sit up from the recliner suddenly, and the position on the front page of the newspaper was the Naxi content that Mike had just mentioned, and a big headline -- "The Potsdam Proclamation of China, the United States, and Britain Urging Japan to Surrender" The newspaper reported in great detail, and the content of the Potsdam Proclamation totaled 13 articles, the main contents of which were: The allies will give Japan the final blow until they stop resisting; The Japanese government should immediately declare the unconditional surrender of all armed forces. Reaffirming that the conditions of the Cairo Declaration must be implemented, and that after Japan's surrender, its sovereignty would be limited to Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and the islands designated by the Allies. With the army completely disarmed and war criminals brought to trial, the Japanese Government must respect human rights and guarantee freedom of religion, expression and thought. Japan shall not maintain industries that can be used for rearmament, but it shall be allowed to maintain industries that are economically necessary and capable of paying reparations for goods, and shall be allowed to obtain raw materials and resources for participation in international trade. As soon as the above objectives were achieved and a responsible government for peace was formed, the Allied occupation forces withdrew.

"Great, it's finally time for this war to end." After a cursory look at the report of the great joy of Tangcheng, the news of Germany's surrender in May appeared on the front page of the newspaper, and the whole city of Kunming was already jubilant. Tang Cheng and Mike privately discussed how long Japan would hold on to the fabric as long as Germany surrendered, and now it seems that the day of Japan's final demise is coming.

Mike was still standing next to him and was stupid, but he was dragged back to the barracks by Tang Cheng, "Stone, gather the brothers into the city, today Lao Tzu has a treat, all of them go into the city to drink, and they will not return if they are not drunk." Tang Cheng, who was in a good mood, forgot the boredom in his heart, and took Hou San and his gang into Kunming City in a jeep. Not only Hou San and them, but also Huang Hanju, who had not yet gotten off work in the executive office, was also pulled out by Tang Cheng, and a group of people drank in the Huang family's restaurant for a while.

"Brother-in-law, what's the matter? I'm right. When the Germans surrendered a few days ago, I told you to give the restaurant and the transport company out, and you would not be happy. What is going on now? Seeing that the little devil is about to be finished, when all the rich people in Kunming City run out, I see who you sell these things to. The drunken and hazy Tang Cheng hugged Huang Hanju's shoulders behind him, and the two of them got together and muttered quietly, next to Hou San and Lenny were making faces to Mike who was already drunk, and there was no one in the entire private room who could still talk and walk normally.

The news has been reported, which means that everyone knows the news, tonight's Kunming City is destined to be another sleepless night, the streets are full of celebratory crowds, and many businesses even plan to open all night. In a four-story building not far from the executive office, more than a dozen rooms were still brightly lit, and the men and women in the corridor were in a hurry with this unconcealable smile on their faces, but they could not celebrate like the ordinary people outside, because they were military commanders.

"Aran, it's been half a year since you were ordered to approach that Tang City, right? Is there no progress at all? In an office on the third floor, Xiao Yalan, who was a little lonely, was sitting at a desk with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man who was talking was Shen Quan, the stationmaster of the Kunming Station of the Military Command, Xiao Yalan, who was sitting opposite him, had already been transferred from Shanghai Station to Kunming Station and became Shen Quan's subordinate.

Xiao Yalan, who was asked by Shen Quan, shook his head, and replied in a dry voice, "Tang Cheng is very psychologically guarded, it may have something to do with his experience since joining the army, in short, he doesn't believe in people and things that have not lived and died with him, even if I have known him for a long time." At present, I can only go to the military camp in Huangjia and Dabanqiao Town, and as for their camp at the airport, I have not been to it once. ”

Shen Quan stretched out his hand and tapped on the tabletop, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "In short, you have to find a way to continue to approach Tang Cheng, according to the information we have, Tang Cheng has a tacit relationship with the local Cai family in Kunming." The Cai family originally started as a pawnshop, but now they have a big business, especially jade and gold from Burma. I heard that there is a direct son of the Cai family who has also been to Burma, and it seems that he is in the army of Tang Cheng, and you have to find out who this person of the Cai family is through Tang Cheng. ”

As a veteran military commander, Shen Quan absolutely couldn't bear the failure of his carefully planned actions on Tang Cheng. If Xiao Yalan can't use himself to control Tang City, then Shen Quan doesn't mind using other means to control Tang City, the Cai family is just an introduction, but what Shen Quan really has to deal with is this extremely slippery Tang City. Xiao Yalan didn't understand what the Cai family had to do with Tang Cheng for a while, but since this was a task personally issued by Shen Quan, Xiao Yalan could only follow it.

"Alan, your parents sacrificed for the great cause of the party and the state, and in a sense, you are the child of our military commander. Therefore, you must firmly remember the responsibility of our military commanders, and you must not regret it for the sake of some children's private feelings. Shen Quan finally told Xiao Yalan a few more words, in the subconscious of this old spy, Xiao Yalan may have softened his heart when facing Tang Cheng, he didn't believe that Xiao Yalan, a senior agent who had been trained in the military system, couldn't deal with a kid like Tang Cheng.

Xiao Yalan's steps were a little heavy when she left the military command building, she didn't do her best, but Tang Cheng was not as simple as a few years ago, the current Tang City was simply a volcano that had been silent for a long time, once this volcano was given the opportunity to erupt, Xiao Yalan didn't dare to imagine what Tang Cheng would be like after the eruption. The celebratory crowd on the street failed to bring Xiao Yalan a good mood, and Tang Cheng, who was already drunk in the private room of the restaurant, didn't know that the military commander had really set his sights on him, but it was certain that the man and woman would spend a very different night tonight.

The drunken Tangcheng Cup Huang San was destroyed and the Huang Mansion had already woken up, if he didn't wake up, Mrs. Huang took more than a dozen maids of all sizes to pour them drunk and decanted the soup one by one. "If you want me to say, is the wine so good? Look at one of you, how drunk it is. Annoyed, Mrs. Huang stretched out her hand and twisted her husband's ears, and her tone became more and more stern, "You are a brother-in-law, so you don't know how to persuade Xiaocheng to see what you have drunk?" If I hadn't sent Huang San to the restaurant, I think you would have been ready to drink until dawn. ”

After being poured a stomach full of sobering soup, Mike, who was still the most drunk, came to his senses, and while shaking his head with a headache, he listened to Mrs. Huang's lesson, and no one dared to speak back. After teaching the Tang Cheng gang who were drunk in the restaurant one by one, Mrs. Huang asked the kitchen to bring up the chicken soup that had been simmering for a long time, no matter what, today is also a day worth celebrating, Mrs. Huang can't look at Tang Cheng, who has vomited and empty stomach, and they continue to be hungry.

"Sister, when I was in the restaurant earlier, I already said that my brother-in-law was too childish, and if I didn't take advantage of this to get rid of all the things in our house, when we went back to Macheng after the little devil got out, what should we do with these industries in Kunming? Do you want to keep someone to take care of it? Be careful, when the time comes, you will lose all your money. After a bowl of chicken soup, Tang Cheng's face finally had some energy, and even the words in his mouth increased.

"Are you serious? When can we go back to Macheng? I don't know what happened to our old house now? And those fields. As soon as it was mentioned that the matter of returning to Macheng, Mrs. Huang immediately came to the spirit, the title deeds of the old house and the grange were pinched in Mrs. Huang's hands, but she was not afraid of being swallowed, although the Huang family's business in Kunming City was not less profitable, but the roots of the Huang family were still in Macheng.

"Sister, don't worry, didn't today's newspapers all publish that declaration, I pondered that the noble son would almost be unable to hold on, the Germans had surrendered, and the Japanese were left not to be the opponents of the Allies at all. When the Japanese get out, let's go back to Macheng, and then let's go to Shanghai, and I'll take you to see the Bund. Tang Cheng poured a stomach of sobering soup, but the strength of the wine did not completely dissipate, and when he talked to Mrs. Huang, his voice became smaller and smaller, and when Mrs. Huang turned her head, she saw that the goods had fallen asleep on the dining table.

Xiao Yalan returned to her residence and couldn't sleep for a long time, Xiao Yalan had no hope for her mission this time, but she couldn't refuse to carry out the mission, otherwise she might be sanctioned by the military commander. In the dream, Tang Cheng not only saw Robert and Liu Goat, who had missed him for a long time, but even Xie Bo and many veterans of the second company.
