Chapter 1561: The princes gather! (2)
"Brother Lu, please let me introduce you here. This is my chief of staff, Li Yinxuan..."
"Hello!"
"Hello, General Lu!"
"This is the Director of the Department of Civil Affairs of Hebei Province..."
There were no outsiders at the welcome dinner, all of them were senior military and political officials from Hebei Province. As they walked, the corners of their mouths became stiff with a smile!
I used to think that the leaders were fine at some high-level banquets. After I experienced it myself, I realized that this job was actually not easy to do.
If it weren't for not leaving the owner and running away, Lu Shan would rather hide in the apartment and make some side dishes and drink some wine, which would be much more comfortable than this.
"Okay, everyone, calm down!" Yu Xiaohou stood in front of Mikefeng on the stage, pressed his hands and said loudly.
"Today we have the honorable welcome to a distinguished guest, who is a nationally famous anti-Japanese hero, General Lu Shan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance!"
Lu Shan walked onto the stage helplessly, stood at attention, and greeted a standard military salute.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been young, General Lu Shan joined the army at the age of 16, and it has been eight years since then..."
He joined the army at the age of sixteen and became a lieutenant general eight years later. He was not only thanks to his father's favor, but also earned his real military achievements!
Only twenty-four years old, too young!
The senior military and political officials who attended the welcome dinner couldn't help but breathe loudly. The active minds began to think about it. Such a young man would definitely have a bright future in the future. If he recruited a son-in-law to be a son-in-law, wouldn't the future be high?
I just don’t know if Commander-in-Chief Lu has married!
Today's welcome dinner is relatively high in specifications. Although family members are allowed, attendance is not allowed under a certain level.
After Yu Xiaohou's words, the women below all their eyes shone brightly, and their eyes were so eager to share Lu Shan's food on the spot!
Terrible, terrible!
Yu Xiaohou said this and asked Lu Shan for his consent. Some things, at this time, will have no secrets.
But he can do some processing on this secret.
It's too outrageous. It won't be believed, so he reduced the actual age of joining the army by two years, and then raised his age by two years!
In this way, four years of joining the army will become eight years, eight years of joining the army, from small soldiers to lieutenant generals, which may be easier to accept.
In this chaotic era, what is lacking is legend, and people's ability to accept should be relatively strong.
Lu Shan felt that he would have found some time to beautify his resume, anyway, his resume had already been burned down.
Those who knew and were familiar with him either died in Beidaying or were searched by him to take important positions.
These people can be trusted and cannot betray themselves, so no matter what kind of resume they create, the outside world will believe it!
Of course, his biggest purpose is not to beautify himself, but to deceive the Japanese!
The Japanese must always want to know their past, which is also a chance to make it public!
Of course, Yu Xiaohou just read the script according to his script. He didn't know what it was, even though this young and inconspicuous Lieutenant General Lu seemed to have served as a soldier under his command.
But Yu Xiaohou had no chance to remember the names and resumes of every soldier under his command. He was too realistic.
After a rough introduction to Lu Shan, Yu Xiaohou shouted: "Next, please invite General Lu Shan to say a few words!"
"First of all, thank you for your warm hospitality tonight, and for your kindness. To be honest, I am a little flattered. Everyone is so enthusiastic, which makes me feel a kind of warmth of home...
In fact, I have to thank the Japanese for being today. If they hadn't launched a war to invade the Northeast, I wouldn't have understood the reason why a country is responsible for the rise and fall of a man. The reason is very simple. Everyone would say it, but only when you have experienced it personally, you will understand that it is not good to be a slave to the country. Did any of you come from the puppet Manchukuo?"
"I, I came from Manchuria!"
"Sir, how are you doing under the Japanese rule?"
"I'm doing well, do I still have to run into the gate?" The young man said with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
"Some people say that if China goes to war with Japan, China will perish. It also lists many numbers, which seems to make some sense, but I think these numbers are just things on the surface. In a blunt sentence, those who list these numbers are actually ill-intentioned!"
"Why is it said that there are evil intentions? As soldiers, there are many factors that can win a war. If you compare it with a few data, you can decide the outcome. Then what other soldiers we practice and what kind of battle we fight? When you encounter such a thing in the future, you might as well just compare it to decide the winner and lose. There is no need to die. How good?"
"Ha ha……"
"Our five thousand years of civilization in China has come to this day. Have you ever surrendered to others or destroyed? Our civilization inheritance still exists. There are too many examples of weak defeating the strong. Who are we afraid of?"
"But modern warfare is completely different from the previous cold weapon combat!"
"Yes, modern warfare is different from cold weapons, but what determines the victory of the war?"
The expressions of the generals of Yu Xiaohou and other military personnel changed slightly, and they probably hadn't thought about this issue seriously.
"Can anyone answer this question?" Lu Shan smiled, "Just treat it as we are going to discuss together, how about it?"
"General Lu, I think it should be the advantages and disadvantages of weapons!"
"Logistics, money and food!"
"The general's command ability, and the soldiers' lives!"
"What else?"
"Information, time, place and people!"
"The answers are very correct, because the comprehensive strength of war is necessary to count all of these to determine the outcome of the war, but this is the most difficult to calculate. In the history of human war, no one has ever been able to quantify these, and there is no standard. Why?"
"Because there is no need to win or lose in the war, I want to say that China and Japan will start a war, and it will be useless to say who wins and loses now. Before the war begins, no one can predict the final outcome of the war!" Lu Shan said, "Please note that I am talking about the final outcome, not the outcome of a certain battle!"
"Since no one can predict the outcome of the war before the war, why do we still have to fight against Japan?"
"This question is very simple, because we are Chinese!" Lu Shan said, "In the face of the enemy's invasion, what will happen if we do not rise up and resist? I believe many of you empathize with it!"
"In the big picture, it is for the DL and freedom of the country and nation. In the small picture, it is also for the sake of each of us living with dignity!" Lu Shan clenched his fists and said strongly.
"To live with dignity, I said it well!" Yu Xiaohou's eyes flashed, and he was the first to take the lead in applause!
"Thank you everyone, I'm finished!"
Applause rang out, and it lasted for a long time!
"General Lu said it very well just now. The Japanese and wolves are ambitions to invade our country's territory and slaughter our people. I, Yu Xiaohou, will definitely fight them to the end!" Yu Xiaohou said loudly in front of the microphone.
"good!"
"General Lu, at noon tomorrow, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang and Minister He came to Baoding by car. I wonder if you are willing to go to the station with me to greet him?" Yu Xiaohou pulled Lu Shan aside and asked.
"Minister He and I are old friends, so we should go and greet him!" Lu Shan nodded slightly and said to welcome He Jingzhi, but he did not mention Zhang Hanqing for a while.
Yu Xiaohou flashed a trace of disappointment, Zhang Hanqing stepped down, and the division of the Northeast Army was a foregone conclusion. He was not a direct line of the Northeast Army, but because Zhang Hanqing was valued, he had his current status.
The Northeast Army is now left with the auxiliary commander to support the overall situation, but this overall situation is probably not enough. Once Zhang Hanqing officially leaves the country, Chiang Kai-shek will inevitably dismember the Northeast Army.
Without Zhang Hanqing, the Northeast Army is like a motherless child. Although there are Pingjin, Hebei and other places, the Northeast Army, which has no cohesion, will not be able to confront Nanjing!
There are great conflicts between the old and new in the Northeast Army, as well as conflicts with the Japanese war faction and the compromise faction. Zhang Hanqing was still able to suppress these people who were still able to suppress them. Once he was resigned, the conflicts would definitely break out. In addition, someone instigated the disagreement, so the Northeast Army would easily be used as a gun.
Yu Xiaohou has always been grateful for Zhang Hanqing's kindness, and he doesn't want to see this ending in terms of emotion or reason!
In theory, Lu Shan was born in the Northeast Army, but it can be said that he has little to do with the Northeast Army. The reason is that Lu Shan is just a small soldier in the Northeast Army, with a rank but a corporal rank, and his position is only a deputy squad leader!
Such a person is at best a combat backbone, a little bit higher than cannon fodder on the battlefield, and has no sense of belonging to the Northeast Army!
To put it bluntly, people don’t agree with the Northeast Army at all. This year, when they joined the army, they just want to find a place to fill their stomachs.
It is simply unimaginable to Lu Shan be loyal to the Northeast Army. Moreover, from Lu Shan's attitude, Yu Xiaohou also saw that he did not respect Zhang Hanqing much, and even had many dissatisfactions in his heart!
It is no wonder that although there are many people in the Northeast Army led by him, their ranks are generally not high. Many of them come from some miscellaneous troops and are not very loyal to the Northeast Army.
Strictly speaking, the Eastern Anti-Japanese War has nothing to do with the Northeast Army. Except for the Northeast Army that had some support from the beginning, in essence, this army has completely broken down from the Northeast Army.
If divided from a regional perspective, the Eastern Anti-Japanese Army is the real Northeast Army, and the Northeast Army is just an army composed of Northeastern people.
"Brother Houde, do you have any misunderstandings about the Deputy Commander-in-Chief?" Yu Xiaohou asked with a slightly bitter smile.
"Misunderstanding, how is it possible? We have never met each other before, so why is there a misunderstanding?" Lu Shan said with a smile.
"Then tomorrow?"
"Brother Xiaohou is worried that I will embarrass Zhang Hanqing?" Lu Shan said.
"This..." Yu Xiaohou felt embarrassed to smile embarrassedly. Although he didn't say it clearly, the worries in his heart were already revealed!
"Don't worry, I know the right way!" Lu Shan gave Yu Xiaohou a guarantee.
Chapter completed!
