Tangcheng's supplies were crowded with people. The American military doctor in the military camp carefully examined Tangcheng's injuries. After giving him a few injections, he just told Tangcheng to rest in bed. All the irrelevant people left. Tangcheng
With only one of its own people left in the city, some things that were difficult to say just now can now be said openly. Tangcheng once again put forward the proposal to leave Kunming.￥f,
"You all heard what Xiao Yalan said just now. Let's not talk about whether it is right for the military commander to use such a name to arrest me. Anyway, I feel that even if the little devil surrenders, the government will not sit down and work together with the Communist Party.
, the preparations the military commander is making now is to wait for all the little devils to get out, and then find an opportunity to start a war with the Communist Party. After all, the territory they occupy is not small." Tang Cheng curled his lips and tried to dodge, but was wet.
Tang Hongyi, who wiped his face with a handkerchief, gave him a fierce look.
"Then what else can we do? We are just a group of soldiers. We will do whatever the superiors say. We can't go up the mountain and become bandits?" The speaker was Tan Fei, who glanced at the dice covertly as he spoke.
, Dice has always wanted to return to his old career and become a carefree mountain king.
"It's not okay to be a bandit. Now that the little devil has surrendered, both our *** and the Communist Party have freed up their hands. The troops on both sides will use the suppression of the bandits as an opportunity to show their force." Tangcheng did not.
Realizing that Tan Fei was just joking, he just shook his head. "I'm tired of fighting. It was better to kill the Japanese soldiers before, but if you ask me to attack the Chinese, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, so the best way is
That is, we leave Kunming or even leave China to completely avoid this damn war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party."
Hou San, who had been silent all this time, kept smoking, and soon the room was filled with smoke. He stamped out the cigarette butt that was about to burn his fingers on the ground. Hou San paused for a moment, and then said, "But once
If we leave, we may never come back. By then we will become a group of people with no roots. No matter how bad this country is, it is still our own country. Children are not too ugly, and dogs are not too poor. This is
As an old saying passed down from our ancestors, if we leave like this, we will never come back, never come back."
Hou San's voice was a little low, and everyone's mood became heavier. Hou San was right. Once they leave China, it may be difficult for them to come back in their lifetime. Although Tang Cheng took everyone's
Their money is enough for them to live a good life in the United States, but Chinese people are very particular about returning fallen leaves to their roots. If they really leave their hometown and never come back, most of the people in this room will not choose to leave with Chinatown.
"Xiaocheng, tell me the truth. We went to the United States. Can we come back in the future? Your brother-in-law's old house and ancestral graves are still in Macheng. If you really can't come back, your brother-in-law may not be able to live the rest of his life.
"It's so comfortable." Even Tang Hongyi, who had always supported Tang Cheng, hesitated at this time. At first, he chose the American passport in his class just to find a way out for the Huang family, but Tang Hongyi never thought that he would not be able to return to his hometown after leaving.
Tang Hongyi's heart was in confusion when he suddenly heard Hou San say this.
Tang Cheng did not blame Hou San for saying what he just said. In fact, whether or not to go to the United States is voluntary. Facing Tang Hongyi's question, Tang Cheng could only shake his head because he didn't know if he could come back to China again.
"It is your choice whether to go to the United States or not. Mike and the others cannot stay in Kunming forever. If we decide to go to the United States, we must make a choice before Mike and the others leave Kunming, otherwise the military commanders will be unfavorable to us." Tang Cheng said.
Mike nodded heavily. In fact, Lanny had received the news that the defense was about to be transferred, but the specific order had not yet been sent.
There was not much time left for them in Tangcheng. As the New First Army entered Guangzhou City to accept the surrender of the Japanese army, more and more Japanese troops in China began to surrender on the spot, regardless of whether it was the Japanese or the Communist army who came to take over the defense.
These Japanese soldiers just wanted to leave China and return to their own country as soon as possible. "Tang, I think it is time to make a final choice. An order has come from above. The National Government and the Kuomintang may have to conduct a military consultation in Peiping."
, maybe I will go to Peiping with the US military observation group." The news brought by Mike made Tangcheng feel helpless, because Hou San and the others have not made their attitude clear until now.
Mike is his biggest supporter. If Mike leaves Kunming, Lanny and George, who have just been transferred back to Kunming Airport, will not be able to stop the military commander. "There are no outsiders here. They are all our brothers in life and death. Let's talk about it, no matter what we want."
If you don't want to go to the United States with me, we are all brothers of life and death." According to Mike's suggestion, Tang Cheng, who was already seriously injured, gathered everyone together again. Huang Hanju went to the administrative office and did not come back. Tang Hongyi, who had been staying in the military camp,
Huang Hanju attended this meeting on behalf of Huang Hanju.
"I am alone, so naturally I will go wherever you go. Besides, I also want to see that Statue of Liberty you mentioned. Count me in when you go to the United States." Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Shitou was the first one.
He raised his hand to express his willingness to follow Tang Cheng to the United States. Zhang Xiaobao, who was as close as a brother to Liu Shitou, shook his head at this moment and admitted that Wu Laosan had already established a foothold in his hometown and he wanted to return to his hometown to continue the legacy of the Zhang family.
of.
Liu Shitou and Zhang Xiaobao stood up, and Hou San and the others, who had been sullen all the time, spoke. They had the same reason as Zhang Xiaobao. Although Hou San and Dice were gangsters, the Chinese people still have the open-mindedness in their bones.
However, the thought of Xianghuo has been deeply engraved in their bones. Both Hou San and Dice chose to return to Huangshi to become rich country men. The choices of Hou San and Dice somewhat disappointed Tang Cheng. He always thought that Hou San
Sanhe Dice will follow him to the United States instead of returning to his hometown to become a fat country rich man.
"We are both alone. Since the commander is willing to take us out to see the world, we two have long wanted to see what a foreign woman looks like." Everyone made the same choice.
Somewhat to Tang Cheng's surprise, Tan Fei and Zhao Liang, who were not favored by him, took the initiative to go to the United States. Among Tang Cheng's men, Tan Fei was the only one who had studied in college. Apart from fighting, Tang Cheng
I think Tan Fei is no worse than myself in other aspects.
Hou Sanhe Dice chose to stay, and the taciturn Yanlong also chose to stay, but he was going to Burma, because Yanhu was buried in Myanmar, and he planned to spend the rest of his life guarding his brother. The rest.
Several veterans also made the choice. As expected by Tang Cheng, they all chose to stay in the country. "Okay, since it is the choice we all make ourselves, then that's it. Those who are willing to stay, Mike
The names are all recorded here, and tomorrow we will get the certificate of disability and discharge for you." Tang Cheng silently turned around and faced the wall and slowly closed his eyes. At this time, he seemed a little lonely.
"Okay, my little town is full of adults, don't always act like this and make people laugh." Everyone left one after another, only Tang Hongyi and Mike stayed. For Tang Cheng
, these two people, one is a relative and the other is an elder, there is nothing that cannot be said in front of them. "There is no banquet in the world that never ends. Although you are brothers in life and death, there will always be a moment when the song ends and you part. Now you
What we have to do is to think of a way out for them in the future. As for what will happen in the future, who can say clearly."
Tang Hongyi's persuasion made Tang Cheng feel a little better, and then he turned around with some embarrassment and began to discuss the money sharing with Mike. In addition to the 200 yuan that was previously distributed to everyone, Tang Cheng was also prepared to send the military commander this time.
I also took out the gold bars and divided them among Hou San and the others. "I have no objection. Anyway, everyone has put a lot of effort into saving you. You are not short of that money now, so you can divide it up." Mike nodded.
Agree to Tangcheng’s proposal to split the money again.
Time seemed to pass very quickly. In only two days, only Tang Cheng and the others were left in the already deserted military camp. Hou San and others all left one after another. "Let's go. They're all gone. Let's go too."
It's time to go." On the third day after Hou San and the others left, Tang Cheng personally put Tang Hongyi and the others on a US military transport plane piloted by George himself. Tan Fei and Zhao Liang escorted Tang Hongyi and the women and children on the plane.
Wuhan, but Tang Cheng, Huang Hanju, and Mike drove all the way back to Wuhan by land, then went north to Macheng, and finally to Shanghai.
Tang Cheng originally wanted to fly to Wuhan with Tang Hongyi and the others, but Huang Hanju disagreed and disposed of those cars and jeeps at a low price in Kunming, so their receivers had to drive a car each and return to Wuhan by land.
After hearing what Mike said once about the price of cars in Shanghai, Huang Hanju had a lot of thoughts about those cars. The Japanese army had completely surrendered, and the Japanese army was now busy occupying the territory with the Japanese army. On the way back to Wuhan from Kunming from Tangcheng,
Basically nothing happened.
When they arrived in Wuhan, they picked up Tang Hongyi and the others. They drove back to Macheng and simply disposed of most of the Huang family's property. Huang San, who was unwilling to leave, was left in the Huang family's old house to look after the family. Tangcheng and the others went to Shanghai without stopping.
Shanghai's perception of Tang Cheng has changed completely. Fortunately, Robert's church is still alive. After negotiating with the new pastor of the church, Tang Cheng's American passport and Mike's guarantee allowed Tang Cheng to successfully obtain it.
Robert's ashes.
"It's time to go, don't think too much, there will always be a chance to come back." Looking at the dock that was about to leave, Tang Cheng, standing on the deck of the warship, was full of emotions. This was just leaving, and he didn't know when he would come back again.
Being able to come back and see the place where he and Robert lived. Lanny, who was escorting Tang Cheng and the others to the United States and had retired from the army, had been persuading Tang Cheng. But as the warship weighed anchor, Tang Hongyi and the others also got on the deck, and everyone
My eyes were filled with tears as I looked at the dock gradually moving away.
