Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The earth wakes up, the severe cold subsides, and the Yalu River, which has been frozen for months, is thawing.

    On both sides of the Yalu River Bridge in Andong, there were crowds of people waiting eagerly. Hundreds of dragon-dancing men in short coats were waiting for the moment of the soldiers' triumphant return.  A long whistle sounded, and the first military train returning from the Korean front drove onto the bridge.  "Coming, coming back, coming back!" The calm was broken in an instant, firecrackers, gongs and drums were rumbling, and the golden dragon dance was lively. Countless people rushed to the railway, lined the road to welcome the soldiers returning from the bloody battle.  Many soldiers infected with enthusiasm even climbed onto the roof of the vehicle and waved their arms.  A majestic and passionate "Song of the Motherland" also rang out along with their shouts.

    "Motherlandyou are my mother, I am willing togive my life for you. Every inch of the mountains and rivers are engraved with Yanhuang. Every drop of water is the blood of the dragon. Motherland.  Please pray for me. I am willing to fight to the end for you"

    The loud singing touched every heart, and the tearful eyes could not help but sigh and sigh.  From the outbreak of the Yellow Sea conflict on November 3 to the conclusion of the Sino-Japanese peace treaty on March 11, the situation in the Far East was completely changed by these triumphant soldiers in less than four months!  Like a giant walking in the darkness, holding his breath and struggling to find an exit. After persisting for decades and almost losing confidence in himself, he found a beam of light falling from the sky.  It's excitement, excitement, and joy from the bottom of my heart.  In just eight years, the Japanese and Russian forces that once occupied the Northeast and left countless wounds were completely defeated, Korea was divided, Vladivostok and the Xing'an Mountains outside Temple Street were all recovered, and the security risks of Taiwan's return to the Southeast were eliminated.  The land of China finally ushered in a hard-won peace.

    The battle flags were flying, the leather boots were polished, and the muzzles smelling of gunpowder smoke witnessed the beginning of an era!  After more than two hundred years of foreign rule, the soldiers of the National Defense Force finally used discipline, tactics, and iron and blood to seize the tail of national rejuvenation!  In particular, this kind of glory is based on the glorious achievements of the European War. Even Europe and the United States are paying close attention to this heroic army.  Fortunately, the Army cannot fight across oceans alone.  Otherwise, they would have pounced on them, bitten and suppressed them.

    The song is telling the world that when the national hatred is washed away like the remaining ice slag by the rolling torrent, when self-confidence and smile are overwhelmingly sweeping every corner of China.  The brilliant road to rise has actually just begun.  The sons and daughters of China will use their hard work and sweat to build a beautiful home.

    What a wonderful era this is!

    And the thin figure who led the country and 40 million compatriots into a better era is standing on the left side of the railway at this moment.  Like a straight javelin that splits the sky.  The right arm is raised high to welcome the returning soldiers with military salute.  A column full of soldiers slowly stopped, and finally more than two thousand cavalry soldiers returned at the same time, pushing the festive atmosphere to its climax.

    In such a frenzied situation, there are still people who remain calm enough. He is Wang Geng who was just ordered to report.

    "Report. Major Wang Geng of the 35th Brigade of the National Guard came to report." After the celebration, Wang Geng, led by Xiao Anguo, rushed to Yang Qiu's temporary residence in Andong.  Facing Yang Qiu, who is four years older than him but has almost reached the peak of his life and is carrying the country and nation on his shoulders, he can't help but feel a little nervous.  On the contrary, Yang Qiu was particularly interested in him. In fact, he didn't know much about this "big celebrity", if he could remember anything at all.  There are only two names: Lu Xiaoman and Eisenhower.

    "I am older than you, can I just ask you to be celebrated?" Yang Qiu looked at the handsome Wang Geng, noticed his empty chest, and was a little curious: "Young people at your age who have not joined the national society  There are very few people. Can you tell me why?" He was telling the truth. With the recent good news in the country, the charm of Yang Qiu and Guoshe has reached a point where it cannot be restored.  Aspiring young people in the country are all proud to join the national society, especially the Youth Association. This scene is even reminiscent of the trendy culture when the parallel world republic first opened up.  This turbulent tide has also completely changed the internal structure of the national society, and a large number of talented young people are replacing their predecessors bit by bit.  Join the hot times.

    Xiao Anguo was very optimistic about Wang Geng's ability, but he didn't pay attention to the fact that he hadn't joined the National Society yet. He was about to speak but was interrupted by a raised hand.  Faced with Yang Qiu's waiting eyes, Wang Geng became even more nervous. He hesitated for a long time before he said bravely: "Vice President, everyone has their own ideals."

    "What about your ideal?" Yang Qiu asked as if he didn't want to let him go.

    Wang Geng said: "Learn from foreign countries and use them to serve the country."

    These eight simple words made Yang Qiu laugh: "There is a big gap between Western cultural values ??and ours, and in many places it is even impossible to reconcile them. Copying European and American models mechanically can only bring greater chaos. This has already been learned from the past."  "

    Wang Geng is a smart man, and the words he copied from past mistakes are obviously talking about the original Democratic Party.  Forcibly implementing the separation of powers and comprehensively learning from the American model of provincial autonomy almost led to the division of the country, such asIf it hadn't been for the emergence of the National Society and Yang Qiu's partisan dictatorship to force these things together, the country might not be where it is today.  So he continued: "It is true that the European and American models cannot be applied to my country's current environment, but I think we still have a lot in common. Especially in the pursuit of national prosperity and personal prosperity, they are completely connected. If you want to achieve these two goals, I think it is even more important to ensure the stability of the country and society, crack down on crime and separatist forces, and promote the rule of law instead of the rule of man to ensure fairness among people to the greatest extent possible. As for the system, we can slowly change it. One day the seeds will be in this land. The soil takes root.¡±

    It¡¯s easy to talk to smart people. This Wang Geng has obviously seen through Yang Qiu¡¯s true intention of exercising party dictatorship while continuing to retain the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. It can be seen that his talent and responsiveness are no worse than those of Gu Weijun and Murong Han.  He couldn't help but nodded and said: "You are very good! Many people choose to join parties. It seems that parties have become a trend overnight, but they forget that the vast majority of people in our country are still non-party neutrals, and they also need to make their voices heard, so  I hope you stick to your dreams.¡±

    "Thank you, Vice President."

    Xiao Anguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Vice President, I brought him. What happens next"

    "Let me tell you." Yang Qiu knew what Xiao Anguo was thinking, and it was difficult for him to keep the position of the National Guard for himself all these years. With his ability, if it weren't for him, he would never be able to sit in this position safely.  So after asking Wang Geng to sit down, he said on his behalf: "Commander Xiao didn't tell you about the mission because this operation is very important and related to the security of the northeastern region of our country. So you might as well let me relay it."

    Yang Qiu first asked Kuang Xukun to hand Wang Geng a report on the Shumiatski guerrillas and the Mongolian rebels who were entrenched in the high-latitude cold area of ????Chita. After he read it, he continued: "Originally, Xu Shuzheng should be responsible for this matter.  But he has other tasks, so we need someone who can take on the task of clearing out the remaining bandits. I know you must have doubts. Why choose you instead of choosing someone from the regular army? I might as well say it clearly, firstly, because I like you in Beijing and Tianjin.  Secondly, the U.S. government has repeatedly stated that it does not want our troops to cross the border delineated in the Shanghai Communique and enter the Russian area. Therefore, the National Guard can only be dispatched under the pretext of crossing the border to combat bandits."

    Wang Geng also learned about some situations in the Waixing'an Mountains, but for some unknown reason any news in this area was tightly suppressed, so he couldn't get any valuable information by asking around.  It wasn't until I read this confidential document that I realized that Hailanpao, Chita and other places in the Waixing'an Mountains were not peaceful. Last year alone, there were more than 500 exchanges of fire, large and small.  Due to the special geographical environment, with high mountains and dense forests, and perennially frozen soil and harsh temperatures, the military has not been able to completely extinguish these two groups of guerrilla rebels despite several large-scale deployments.  In addition, Shumiatsky and others are also in contact with Japanese troops stationed in Holzk and other places. They are worried about the possibility of triggering a conflict between China and Japan, so they have been tolerant.  Now Japan has completely withdrawn from this game.  The "Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty" states that once Japan supports them, China has the right to automatically take back Sakhalin Island, so the Japanese government has promised not to provide help in front of Britain and the United States.  The United States also does not want China to advance northward, and dispatching regular troops will inevitably cause worries, so it uses local military forces such as the Guard to completely deal with these two guerrilla groups that threaten northern security.

    There¡¯s just one thing about him that¡¯s strange.  There are currently five regular army divisions stationed in Chita, Hailanpao, Temple Street, Heilongjiang and Vladivostok provinces.  There are also five National Guard brigades to cooperate. No matter how difficult it is, logically it should have been wiped out long ago. At least it can ensure the destruction of their ability to launch a large-scale guerrilla war again. Why are they still delayed?  But when he turned to a page of detailed demographic tables of the area for several years, he suddenly understood.  This kind of task is a big challenge for him.  The first is the bad environment, and the second is whether Japan will abide by its commitments is also critical.  The third is this statistical table.  But he was still vaguely moved. If these two forces could be eliminated and the population ratio of the region was changed, the stability problem in Northeast China could be completely eliminated.  So he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Don't worry, Vice President, I will definitely complete the task!"

    Seeing that he still felt guilty when he promised, Yang Qiu and Xiao Anguo looked at each other and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, as if we are going to leave you in the mountains and forests." After saying that, he waved to Kuang Xukun,  After a while, Hao Wenbao, captain of the hunter team, walked in.  Xiao Anguo took the initiative to introduce: "Shou Qing, let me introduce to you. This is Hao Wenbao, the captain of the Hunter Brigade. Wenbao, this is Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Bandit Suppression I told you."

    After Hao Wenbao came in, Wang Geng felt as if the air was a bit colder, especially the uncomfortable look in his eyes that made him feel like he was being shaved like a razor, which made him secretly think about the hunter unit.

    Yang Qiu stood up and said: "Hao Wenbao and the others have received special training and will cooperate with you to suppress the guerrillas to ensure the security and stability of the northeastern region of our country. Commander Xiao has alsoAn order has been issued, and the five security brigades in the five provinces outside Northeast China are all under your unified command.  I have also ordered the 16th Brigade stationed in Beihai (Irkutsk) to be at your disposal. The three divisions in Chita, Heilongjiang and Hailanpao can change into National Guard uniforms to provide support for you if necessary.  .  "

    With such a strong backing, Wang Geng felt a lot more confident. After saluting, he was about to talk about the action plan with Hao Wenbao, but as soon as he stood up, he was caught by Yang Qiu: "Shouqing, Eisenhower is really your classmate? How is your relationship with him?  ?¡±

    This question made Wang Geng stunned. After a while, he said: "Yes, the relationship is not bad. I still communicate with him from time to time."

    "okay, I get it."

    Wang Geng was confused and didn¡¯t understand why Yang Qiu asked this question. Did he also know Eisenhower?  That shouldn't be right. Eisenhower is still a young major like himself.  He frowned and walked out with Hao Wenbao.  After he went out, Xiao Anguo turned his head curiously and asked, "Chenhua, who is Eisenhower?"

    Yang Qiu seemed to have thought of something, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "An interesting person."

    "Oh." Xiao Anguo didn't think much and continued: "By the way, why don't you tell him about continuing to reduce the population of Russia? This guy is good at everything, but he is soft-hearted. I'm afraid he won't be able to do it  "

    "Brother Xiao, don't worry. He took a few extra minutes to look at the statistics table just now. He must understand what I mean. As for you saying he is soft-hearted I believe he should understand what national interests are!" Yang Qiu said  The documents from Northeast China were casually thrown on the table, and the wind outside the window turned the pages of the book and stopped on the page of the population statistics table.

    This coincidence seems to be telling everyone that peace actually has not really arrived yet
