Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Storm Strikes (Part II)
(There are flowers, tickets, and additions!!) :)) John Niu still has some feelings for his homeland, but his degree is limited to "a little".
As for his impression of his homeland, he came from hearsay, so his deepest impression is that the culture has a long history, but it is very poor. He was so poor that he lost his own land, and the government did not dare to declare war on others.
"Cowardly government! Poor people! That's what he said at the time.
I got off the boat and set foot on the land of Hong Kong, and found that it was not poor, even more prosperous than the capital of Montana. Curious, I asked a few friends I had just met, and then I learned that this is now the territory of the British—no wonder. The next stop in Hong Kong is Bao'an, although he didn't get off the train along the way, but, looking at those low thatched houses and those restrained people, he felt a chill in his heart: It's really poor! If you are poor, you will naturally be ignorant and backward, and you will see that cattle are still used for arable land.
I thought that the whole of Guangdong was like this, but the closer I got to Guangdong, the more I saw along the way, it became different. I couldn't help but have some expectations in my heart: I heard that the junta was quite rich and open-minded, which seemed to be true. But when he entered the scope of Guangzhou City, he was dumbfounded again. Facing all kinds of vehicles coming and going: trucks, horse-drawn carts, even ox carts and rickshaws; Looking at the starvation and ruins everywhere, he began to wonder: Is this an earthquake? Shamelessly asked again, only then did I realize that this was just bombed by the Japanese.
"The Japanese blew it up? Isn't the Cadet Army a little devil's nemesis? Why was it so badly bombed? ”
"This, I don't know."
Xu had heard too many good things about the Cadet Army in the United States, and a trace of expectation arose in his heart. Now, seeing that the headquarters of the Cadet Army has been ravaged like this, this is a great disappointment. Although I don't have a strong sense of identity with my homeland and the Cadet Army, I still feel very lost emotionally. This loss lasted for two days until it entered the Panyu military camp.
The wide concrete road, the heavily loaded sentinels, the brand-new barracks, then the neatly parked tanks and chariots, and then the young soldiers running in a neat queue.
"Kill! Kill! "On the playgrounds we passed, columns of soldiers were either stabbing with guns, wielding broadswords, or crawling in mud puddles under barbed wire. This made the disappointment of Niu John, who had visited the American military camp, warm up for a while. His eyes lit up and he thought: It's a bit of a strong army! Seeing the big blade shining with cold light, I had doubts in my heart again: In the era of hot weapons, what role can this cold weapon play? Is the Cadet Army poor? However, those tanks and tanks look very powerful!
Among the people Gu Lianyun brought from the United States, there are not many military experts. Among these people, all of them are full of enthusiasm and want to serve their homeland. Their views are completely different from that of John Niu - worthy of being the nemesis of the little devils, the student army is really good! That's a heavy tank, right? Is it the "light relay type" independently developed by the Cadet Army? Great Wall off-road vehicles, the U.S. Army is using them......
As for those pure foreigners, the idea of witnessing all this is different again - this is an army to be trusted! I can't get mixed up in the United States, and here, there should be a chance; We Jews should have no worries for a short time to be sheltered by such an army, and it is a pity that this place is too close to the sea and could become a central battlefield at any moment, and I hope the Germans will not fight here. Hitler, the madman, seems to have a good relationship with China.
This time, those who were fortunate enough to participate in this welcome banquet, in addition to the one led by Gu Lianyun, were those progressive young people who came from all over the country to join the student army. They don't have the same insight as John Niu, and the strong army they are lucky enough to see is the warlord army or the central army that occupies the local area. No matter what kind of troops they are, no matter the level of equipment or the mental outlook of the officers and soldiers (except for one army, as for which one, the brothers think for themselves), there is no comparison with the student army, which makes them deeply glad that they have come to the right place!
When Gu Lianyun first returned to Guangzhou, Ouyang Yun saw her at close range, and at that time, her heart jumped out, burst out of a cavity of pink petals, rolled her Adam's apple, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
I haven't seen her for half a year, and there is no doubt that Gu Lianyun is more woman. Originally, it was a ripe peach, but now, it has added some women's style, the kind of mature woman's aura brought out by every move, only those who have tried it know the taste. But in her thrush-like eyes, there was a trace of resentment that only he could read, which really killed him.
At that time, there were too many people, some words could not be said, and some actions could not be done, so I wanted to cultivate my emotions first during the banquet, but I don't know if Lu Dao was deliberately done by Pan Meiren, so he arranged Jiang Shuren's position between the two. Through such a big light bulb, even though Ouyang Yun had all kinds of feelings and thoughts in his heart, he could only follow the rules and be his commander-in-chief.
Gu Lianyun's dress today took a lot of thought. Although it is already November, the temperature in Guangzhou is still above 20°, so summer clothes are still worn. So she chose a set of ru white skirts, this skirt has a narrow waist, but the skirt is wide like a big horn, up and down, the two protrusions up and down can be even more obvious, that lethality, so that Jiang Shuren, an old antique, simply didn't dare to squint, but Ouyang Yun snickered - this goblin, the ability to seduce people is getting bigger and bigger!
Since it was a welcome banquet, some scenes had to be taken over, and the first thing was naturally Ouyang Yun's speech: "Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, on behalf of the people of Fujian and Guangdong, the vast number of officers and soldiers of the Cadet Army, and all the staff of the autonomous government, I warmly welcome you to join our big family. "Papapa" - applause rang out, he paused, then waved his hand. Whether you have come from overseas or traveled from all over the country, you have done nothing more than one purpose! Expelling the Japanese invaders, restoring the rivers and mountains, enriching the country and strengthening the people. Here, in my personal name, I would like to express my heartfelt admiration for your righteous deeds, for your fearless spirit of caring for the safety of the country and the survival of the nation. ”
"Squeak-" he said, raising his glass, gesturing to all sides, and drank it all in one gulp.
The welcome banquet focuses on the welcome and feast. And what can skillfully combine the two is drinking. Ouyang Yun was deeply poisoned by long meetings in that time and space, so he held meetings by himself, unless he had to do so, he generally talked less and did more, and he could be short.
When Pan Meiren just announced that "I will now invite the commander-in-chief of the navy, land and air force of the Xuebing Army and the director of the autonomous government to speak for everyone", Niu John was very worried, and he didn't know how long Lu Dao's speech would be delayed. When he found out that the young commander-in-chief had only a few words, he couldn't help but have a good impression of him, and felt that from this aspect alone, the young commander-in-chief should not be a bureaucrat.
Ouyang Yun's welcome speech set the tone for the speeches of various other people below. The commander-in-chief said a few words, and of course the others should not speak too long, this is a matter of course. So this banquet soon entered the theme - banquet. With Pan Meiren's voice: "Let's enjoy it to your heart's content!" The atmosphere in the cafeteria suddenly changed, and then, something that made the banana man stunned appeared-the toast wheel battle against Ouyang Yun began!
Because of Gu Yu's relationship, Niu John has always been treated differently by Gu Lianyun, so he was arranged at the table next to her and sat opposite Xiao Ai. This made him intuitively appreciate the performance of wine culture with the inheritance of classical Chinese culture.
"Commander-in-Chief! I respect you, I wish you a smooth work, and I wish the cause of our army to prosper - I will do it first, you are free! ”
"Good! Thank you! ”
"Commander-in-Chief! I'm from Renqiu, after you left with the Cadet Army, we will suffer...... When are we going to kill it back? I respect you! ”
"Commander-in-Chief...... I respect you. You are free. ”
……
Niu John started watching it as a drama, and he was a little puzzled when he watched it: everyone else said "you are free", why did this commander-in-chief still kill him? Looking at it any further, his eyes began to pay attention to Ouyang Yun's belly: his belly capacity is really big enough, so much wine will not show it! If it were me, let's not say if I was drunk, I'm afraid I'd burst early!
Niu John really didn't have the intention of serving the motherland from Rong, so he always behaved very sensibly from beginning to end, he watched everything happening on the table next door like an audience, and the so-called bystanders gradually saw that something was wrong.
The feeling that something was wrong came from the girl named Xiao Ai opposite, and although she hid it well, he still found out that when she took out her handkerchief from the kun bag she was carrying, an alarm clock was revealed in the bag.
Originally, it was okay to have an alarm clock with you, but it was not normal to press it on the boss handle in the middle.
Some things are just so coincidental that if someone else hadn't fiddled with it, they probably wouldn't have taken it seriously. However, Niu John had experience in this area, and was even slapped twice by his father because of this, so when he saw this scene, his heart immediately beat violently: That can't be a time bomb, right? If so, what does this little love want to do? She can't be a spy infiltrated by the Japanese who wants to murder the commander-in-chief, right?! He thought nervously, paying attention to Xiao Ai, seeing that she was always looking at Ouyang Yun intentionally or unintentionally, he was more sure in his heart, took two deep breaths to adjust his emotions, and decided that whether it was true or not, he should immediately stand up and point out.
Bai Tassel once served as the head of Ouyang Yun's guard regiment, so he still has some experience in guard work. The people who were arranged to sit around Ouyang Yun were all investigated by the fox pupil, and there was no suspicious background and background. In addition, in order to prevent someone from fishing in troubled waters to carry out assassination, she also selected two of the most capable women's soldiers to always stand behind Ouyang Yun.
However, Xiao Ai's identity is special, she and Gu Lianyun are half-friends and half-servants, and they are from overseas, although Fox Tong does not have her detailed information, but because of her close relationship with Gu Lianyun, she was also arranged near Ouyang Yun.
John Niu is about to stand up and expose Xiao Ai, who has finally waited for an opportunity. She carried the Kun bag and walked towards Ouyang Yun with a wine glass.
What Huai Renqing and the ** people in the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Fox Pupil didn't know was that she was actually the "chrysanthemum" in the strange message, and as for the budding to be released, it meant that she had the opportunity to get close to Ouyang Yun. And the word fattening refers to providing her with the weapons she needs for the assassination.
As a "chrysanthemum" who lurked in the United States early on, Miyamoto Xiaoai did not receive systematic training in espionage skills. So much so that after she appeared by Gu Lianyun's side through reasonable channels, she was never equipped with a gun. This also made Gu Lianyun trust her without scruples, laying the foundation for today's scene.
"Kiku", which is directly under the Japanese military department, is an organization to be precise, and among the various Japanese secret agencies, "Kiku" is the most mysterious and terrifying existence. "Chrysanthemum" is divided into several types according to different tasks, one of which is the "dead chrysanthemum" of Miyamoto Koai. "Death Ju" is usually just like their code name, as if they have disappeared from the world, except for her only direct line, no one knows about their existence at all. However, once they make a move, then it will inevitably bring "death".
Since the moment she entered the cafeteria and saw Ouyang Yun, Miyamoto Xiaoai has been waiting for an opportunity. The time bomb in Kun's bag has long been adjusted to time: five minutes. Press the start button, as long as she gets close to Ouyang Yun within five minutes, then, her task is complete. From then on, the name "Miyamoto Koai" will be added to the heroic soul of the Imperial Japanese Army, and her family will have no worries about food and clothing.
There were only three minutes left, three minutes, walk over and spend a minute, wait for the others to toast for a minute, and another minute, she stood beside Ouyang Yun and said the toast that had been prepared a long time ago—everything seemed to be developing according to what she had just envisioned—she even saw the brilliant flames produced after the bomb exploded—however, Niu John's words suddenly jumped up and shouted like a plate of cold water, and the fire was extinguished in an instant! Niu John is not lacking in courage, otherwise he would not dare to risk being slapped by the old man and make a private agreement with Diana's American girl for life.
He stood up, pointed at Miyamoto and shouted, "Theneedtobetranslatedintothetext.Herbomb, sothatshewasclosetoCommander!" (She has a bomb on her, don't let her get close to the commander-in-chief) Miyamoto Xiaoai was startled, and instantly felt the gaze on her, more just doubts, she smiled again. This damn cow John, this stupid donkey, he shouted in English. Can Ouyang Yun understand English? Do those guards understand English? Gu Lianyun can understand, but she is alone nearby, what can she do? Miyamoto Xiaoai smiled a little weirdly, walked over to Ouyang Yun quickly, and said in his mouth: "Commander-in-chief, I also toast you!" ”
Niu John didn't know that there was a problem with his shouting, and seeing that the two loaded female soldiers did not react, he shouted in a hurry: "Shit, Blocksherquickly, onherbodyhasthebomb!" (Shit, stop her, she has a bomb on her) Niu John's first words shouted, and those who understood were alarmed, and they all stood up, and some of them sensed the problem and immediately translated into Chinese and shouted. However, at this time, the cafeteria was too noisy, and they were too far away, so it did not have a substantial effect.
Gu Lianyun's face changed at that time, and she pulled Ouyang Yun up without thinking about it, and urged: "Hurry up!" Then he said to the two female soldiers, "Cover the commander-in-chief!" She's an Assassin! ”
The two female soldiers finally understood what was going on, and immediately turned around, but before they could make a move, Ouyang Yun pushed Gu Lianyun to the side and shouted, "Quick, all lie down!" Then he pounced on Xiao Ai.
"Ouyang, what are you doing?" Gu Lianyun exclaimed.
Seeing him rushing towards him, Miyamoto couldn't ask for it, threw himself into his arms, and hugged him, as if lovers were reunited.
Ouyang Yun hugged Xiao Ai and shouted, "Everyone lie down!" Don't worry, I'm fine! Shouting, he didn't care to avoid suspicion, and touched around where she might have hidden bombs. At this time, John Niu finally woke up to his grammar problem and shouted: "In the bag!" ”
When Miyamoto Xiaoai hugged Ouyang Yun, she had already pressed Kun Bao into her and Ouyang Yun's chest and abdomen.
Ouyang Yun was reminded by him, and he didn't want to think about it, so he turned her over and pressed her to the ground with both hands, and then the whole person lay on her back. Listening to the faint alarm clock of "tick-tock", he turned his head and saw Gu Lianyun and Pan Meiren, Bai Tassel and others not far away rushing towards him, he said loudly: "Don't come here, I'm invulnerable!" ”
When he shouted, many people immediately remembered that the commander-in-chief was indeed invulnerable. Gu Lianyun and the other three women even knew the secret, and the three of them stood still.
Ouyang Yun shouted loudly, and he was also very nervous in his heart, not knowing if this body armor would work at such a close distance, or if this time bomb was specially made. Relatively speaking, this is the best solution at the moment. I don't know when the time bomb will explode, this kind of waiting is extremely difficult, he shouted to Gu Lianyun and others who were stunned: "Get down, get down!" Get down on your stomach! ”
As a "death chrysanthemum", Miyamoto Xiaoai has not undergone systematic training, nor does she know any fist and foot kung fu, she categorically would not have thought that Ouyang Yun had a rebellious existence that did not belong to this era, and she was pressed to the ground by her, but she did not panic, but tried her best to entangle him with her limbs, as if two lovers were struggling with death.
She knew best when the bomb would explode, in fact, she had been silently calculating in her mind since she pressed the start button, her kun bag was almost stacked on top of her heart, she felt her heart almost "tick" with the scheduled alarm clock, and as the time approached, her heart suddenly contracted - only then did she realize that she was also afraid of death.
There was a dull loud bang of "boom", and in the midst of thousands of people's attention, the time bomb still exploded. Gu Lianyun only felt as if her heart had exploded, she got up in despair, and didn't dare to look at Ouyang Yun for a while.
This violent explosion also made Ouyang Yun's heart suddenly contract to the point of pain, and even numbness all over his body. However, when the smoke passed, he felt the pain in his right hand, and then tried to get up with both hands, and felt the presence of the strength of his hands, and he knew that he had escaped again.
"It's amazing that the commander-in-chief is really invulnerable!" This was the sentiment of those who were fortunate enough to attend that banquet afterwards. And as the first to discover that Xiao Ai has a ghost, Niu John wrote a book on this matter twenty years later and became famous in one fell swoop.
And since then, the assassination of Ouyang Yun has never happened again.
