Xie Jinyuan and the special commissioner naturally did not know the history that Duanwu knew. They were still dreaming that the British would cover the retreat of the independent regiment!
They still have illusions about the old colonists such as Britain, the United States, and France.
It's like a drowning person trying to catch the straw floating on the river.
Is such a person pathetic?
No, they are just struggling to survive in this war-torn world.
And judging from the current attitudes of the two people, even if Duanwu told them the cause and effect, they would not listen.
People are always like this, they like illusory things, but they cannot see clearly the facts in front of them.
The commissioner is like this, and so is Xie Jinyuan. It seems that the people here have not changed.
Duanwu didn't know what he could say to win their trust. Let them understand that the British were unreliable.
"Put me through the commission."
Duanwu said directly, and at this moment, the special correspondent who had just picked up the tea cup and took a sip of boiled water spurted it out with a pop.
He was just thinking about how to convince the mud-legged guy in front of him.
Yes, in the eyes of the special correspondent, Duan Wu is just a jerk. He comes from a wild background with no background and no backing.
He only came to prominence during the battle at Sihang Warehouse. Then he was inexplicably made a colonel.
Of course, is it really baffling?
not necessarily!
Because just when Sun Yuanliang made this decision, he said this: If he can come back alive, what does a mere colonel commander mean to him? And if he cannot come back, then what does a colonel commander mean to him?
What's the calculation?
Sun Yuanliang's words have made it very clear. If Dragon Boat Festival can go back alive, what does a mere colonel mean?
You can imagine that in the Huangpu Army, the Eighty-eighth Division and the Eighty-seventh Division were like a blowout. The war that so many top students could not win was won in the Dragon Boat Festival. So what does this colonel commander mean?
But on the other hand, if Duanwu died in battle, then what's the point of being a colonel?
Therefore, Duan Wu, the colonel commander, was not Sun Yuanliang who drank too much and made a colonel commander casually. Rather, he wanted to use this method to inspire Duan Wu and win this war.
And the most important thing is that the newly formed independent group is a mixed bag.
There are local security groups, the regular army of the 88th Division, the Sichuan Army, and deserters from various places and even the regular army.
Is it possible to organize such a chaotic staffing into an independent regiment in a very short period of time without the military rank of colonel commander?
So Sun Yuanliang is not a fool. And Duanwu, the colonel leader, is not that easy to be.
However, the special correspondent didn't know the inside story, and even complained that Sun Yuanliang had someone with mud legs to be the leader, which was just out of his mind.
So, just when Duanwu said that he wanted to talk to the chairman of the committee, the special correspondent choked on a mouthful of water. The water spurted out from his nostrils and spread all over the table.
The special correspondent coughed for a long time, finally stopped and asked: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, cough, are you serious?"
"What do you think?"
Duanwu asked back, but the commissioner hesitated.
Because the Dragon Boat Festival in front of him was smelly and hard, and there was no oil or salt in it. Seeing him talking to the soldiers easily, he didn't expect that he was in such trouble.
So he instinctively thought that it would be great if Duan Wu could talk to the Chairman himself.
However, is it really okay to let Dragon Boat Festival disturb the Chairman?
A junior officer is just a regimental commander, and there are simply countless of them in the entire national army.
Direct call with the Chairman? Are you kidding me?
Even if the brigade commander wanted to talk to the chairman of the committee, he would have to wait in line.
Those who can talk to the chairman of the committee are all general-level figures. Otherwise, they will be blocked at the level of secretary-general.
Headache!
At this time, the special correspondent took off his silver-rimmed glasses and kept rubbing the root of his nose.
But just after a long while, he still picked up the phone.
Because he had no choice, Duan Wu was an uncontrolled junior officer. He wanted to tame the mud-legged man in front of him. He thought it was better to let him hit the south wall first.
The commissioner dialed the phone and said: "I can dial the number, but the chairman is very busy. If he is unwilling to answer your call, then there is nothing I can do."
"If you don't answer my call, it means that the battle at Sihang Warehouse is of no importance at all. Since the chairman of the committee doesn't care, I think the commissioner doesn't have to insist anymore."
"··············"
The special correspondent was speechless and thought to himself: How did he meet such an incompetent person?
But he did call the chairman of the committee.
The person who answered the phone was the secretary-general. When the secretary-general heard that a junior military officer wanted to talk to the chairman of the Generalissimo on the phone, he got angry with the commissioner.
The commissioner explained for a long time and then mentioned the words "Sihang Warehouse". The Secretary-General then agreed to ask the Chairman for instructions.
The Chairman of the Generalissimo was speaking on the rostrum of the dinner, and the audience was full of distinguished guests. There were generals from the military, wealthy businessmen who were extremely wealthy, and some flattering intellectuals.
Of course, ordinary intellectuals are not qualified to attend this dinner. Those are all big intellectuals, people with a good reputation. According to current parlance, they are big v.
Naturally, the chairman of the committee came to them for his own purpose.
The Battle of Songhu was fierce, with 300,000 Chinese soldiers killed on the battlefield.
Although it was a disastrous defeat, the chairman still wanted to publicize it and create public opinion. It would be best to get the support of the old colonialists such as Britain, the United States and France.
But little did he know that his idea was originally wrong.
Colonists are colonists, and they cannot give up their own interests to help a powerful opponent grow.
Therefore, public opinion is just a trick to deceive children.
A robber breaks into your house and commits murder, arson, rape, robbery, and all kinds of evil. But you do nothing but hold up a banner and strongly condemn, which is of no use.
But the old gentleman just didn't understand this and left the task of driving away the robbers to a few other robbers. The end result was that all the robbers were full. Your home was destroyed and your money was looted.
My wife and children were also snatched away.
The greatest tragedy in life is the inability to see reality clearly.
The Chairman seems to be just an ordinary person. He is still encouraging those big Vs to write more indignant and good articles criticizing the Japanese aggression.
All the distinguished guests in the audience were filled with admiration and enthusiastic applause.
They are like a group of yes-men, their minds are full of mush.
At this moment, the secretary-general came in from the side door.
The Secretary-General did not dare to disturb the Chairman's interest and stood at the foot of the rostrum, waiting for the Chairman to finish speaking.
The chairman of the committee signaled that everyone could join the banquet, and then walked down from the stage.
The secretary-general bowed, held the chairman's hand and said: "There is a call from Sihang Warehouse. A junior officer who knows nothing about the world wants to talk to you!..."
