When Yang Zhen got up after a sleepless night the next day, he saw the two women making out and appearing in front of him at the same time. While he was shocked, he couldn't help but be confused. When did these two people get together?
We went together. Could it be that the matter between him and Li Huilan last night was revealed by Yuan Zhiruo.
Thinking of the time the two of them spent together last night, although there was nothing strange about Yuan Zhiruo's face, Yang Zhen was more and more convinced of this possibility. He was just eating secretly but didn't want to be caught by his fiancée.
Yang Zhen, who felt very ashamed in his heart, wanted to find the answer from the faces of the two people, but found that the two people acted extremely calm.
Except for occasionally looking at Yang Zhen, the two women were talking quietly together. They were so calm that Yang Zhen always felt a chill on his back. This awkward atmosphere between the three people continued until they finished breakfast together.
It was broken after Li Huilan left for a meeting at the Ministry of Communications.
After Li Huilan left, Yang Zhen opened his mouth to say something, but Yuan Zhiruo's little hand covered his mouth. He shook his head and looked at Yang Zhen. Yuan Zhiruo said softly: "I know what you want to say, although no one wants to
Half of my love and husband have been divided by others, but I know it will be very painful for you to completely give up on Sister Li."
"Actually, I know that between you and Sister Li, I am the latecomer. I am not asking you to leave Sister Li. You said that she is the responsibility of your life, and I am content as long as you have me in your heart. I just want you to leave Sister Li."
I hope you will never hurt either of us in the future, or hurt these two women who love you so much that they will be unforgettable."
Although Yuan Zhiruo didn't say it clearly, Yang Zhen understood the meaning of the words. He hugged the beauty in front of him tightly in his arms with pity. In addition to being sorry and cursing himself for being ridiculous in his heart,
He didn't know what he should say at this moment or what else he could say. He could imagine the pain in Yuan Zhiruo's heart when she made this determination.
Although he didn't know what the two people talked about last night, Yang Zhen knew clearly what it felt like for a woman to share her husband with others, and she knew that her husband was still outside.
He is a third party, but he cannot get divorced, cannot reveal anything, and even as his wife, he is not qualified to cause trouble.
Making such a decision, for a strong and independent woman like Yuan Zhiruo, one can imagine the inner pain. But for herself, Yuan Zhiruo finally made this ridiculous decision. At this moment, Yang Zhen felt very uncomfortable and felt
I realized that I owed so much to the woman in front of me.
Neither of the two people spoke, and they just hugged each other quietly until the rare tranquility between the two people was broken by the sound of the phone on Yang Zhen's desk. He kissed Yuan Zhiruo gently and let go.
Reluctant to leave the beauty, Yang Zhen walked to the desk and picked up the phone.
This call was made by Chen Bo from Sun Island. During the call, Chen Bo told Yang Zhen that Hopkins and General Wavell hoped to meet with him immediately to discuss the US-UK military assistance to the Anti-Alliance. At the same time,
Admiral Wavell hoped that Yang Zhen could take time to discuss with Yang Zhen the British side's special requests on certain issues.
Putting down the phone in his hand, Yang Zhen did not start immediately. Instead, he walked to the window and looked at the fallen leaves outside the window. Before meeting these two people, Yang Zhen needed to calm down completely and straighten out his thoughts. It was now time for the bayonet to see red. He had to think carefully about how to fight this battle without gunpowder smoke.
I know what his work focus is during this period. Although I don’t know who made the call and what was said, Yuan Zhiruo, who has been participating in this negotiation as a translator before, can also guess the general reason why he did not call again. Disturbing him, he stood beside him and accompanied him quietly. It was not until Li Yanping came over to urge him that Yang Zhen set off with Yuan Zhiruo in a leisurely manner.
After getting in the car and looking at Yang Zhen who was silent, Li Yanping, who knew what he was thinking, smiled and said: "Old Yang, no matter what time you face, you are always confident. Today is... It's a little abnormal, this is not the normal you, nor is it the Yang Zhen I know who is young but has the aura to bring down the emperor."
"Lao Yang, we must maintain a peaceful mind at all times. When we had nothing, didn't we open up a world with our own hands? Now that the environment is better and the conditions are better, you are It’s because we are worried about gains and losses. It doesn’t matter if we fail once, as long as the base area is still there and the troops are still there, we can start over.”
In response to Li Yanping's persuasion and encouragement, Yang Zhen was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said: "Political Commissar, this time is different from the past. I was somewhat sure about the things I did before, but this time, I am not sure at all. No, the equipment is definitely there, it’s just a matter of how much, but that’s not what I really want.”
"Today's result, for us, is not just a simple final answer. It is a critical moment related to whether we can lay a solid foundation for future development and get rid of the current state of being controlled by others. This is our final If we miss this opportunity, we will have to pay more if we want to develop and grow."
"And this price may be difficult for us to bear. I don't want the tragedy that happened to the Soviets to happen again to us, let alone the situation in front of us where we are constantly being choked and stretching out our hands to beg for food. The current situation that no one cares about will continue on for our descendants."
"Old Li, the Soviets had a much better foundation when they were fully industrialized than we and even the whole of China, but the price they paid, you should be aware of it if you studied in the Soviet Union. There is no free lunch in this world, even though we are now We are still paying a price, but the price we must pay now is a win-win choice for us."
"If we miss this opportunity, we are thinking about industrialization, and the price will only be even greater. I don't know what politics is. All I know is that without our own defense industry, what awaits us can only be passively beaten. Without modern industry, our nation can only remain in poverty forever."
"Don't tell me what kind of industry the Zhang family and his sons built back then was also called modern industry. A car that was made by hand and all its main parts relied on imports. What kind of industry is that? It cost hundreds of millions of silver dollars to build. The largest arsenal in the country is not so much a factory as it is a processing plant or assembly workshop for supplied materials."
"That kind of raw materials needs to be imported, and parts and components need to be imported. Most of the heavy equipment is just assembly. Once it really affects the interests of the great powers, they can strangle your industry in minutes. I won't want it. I admit that the Zhang family and his son It is true that many industries have been established in the Northeast, but are those industries truly modern industries with a complete range of categories?"
"Like the so-called golden years of the Nationalist government, the textile, building materials and other light industries and heavy industries are almost blank industries, let alone what I want. If I want a truly modern industry, even if it cannot reach that of the United States, It cannot be any worse than the current Japanese. Not only must it have its own production capabilities, but it must also have its own design capabilities. Political commissar, time waits for no one."
"This is not only a problem of not getting rich without working, but also solving the fundamental problem of our national defense. Maybe I am speaking too loudly now, after all, we are not the ruling party, and even the troops in the pass are still struggling to survive, but Lao Li You have to remember that a big country with tens of millions of square kilometers of land and hundreds of millions of people cannot buy a modern national defense through purchases alone."
"Leaving aside the question of whether it can be purchased, the financial resources required are not something that a country like ours, which is still dominated by a feudal small-scale peasant economy, can afford. I am not worrying about gains and losses, but this time, for me, it is I have a huge responsibility to carry on my shoulders, and this responsibility is so heavy that I can’t even breathe now.”
"Not only because of how much effort I have spent these days, but also because if I miss this opportunity, I, and even we, will become the historical sinners and political commissars of the Chinese nation. This failure will have a negative impact on us. Although it is not impossible that there will be another opportunity, I don’t want to see our country and our nation suffer the heavy price we are bearing right now.”
In fact, when Yang Zhen said this, he only said half of it. There were many reasons that he couldn't explain clearly. He could say that he had been looking forward to this day for so many days. He had painstakingly planned for this day. How long has it been, and how many ulterior measures have been taken to achieve this day?
There are some things that he can't express to Guo Bingxun, who is as close as a brother. There are some things that he can't express to the man beside him who is like a big brother, always silently supporting him, encouraging his partner, and always caring for him like an elder brother. The commander-in-chief made it clear that he could only suppress these things in his heart and could not tell anyone except Li Huilan.
Yang Zhen's words made Li Yanping silent. There were so many ups and downs along the way, and he didn't understand Yang Zhen's thoughts. Moreover, he was hungry and beaten several times in the deep mountains and old forests. As a guerrilla in his youth, he has no less desire for a modernized defense industry than Yang Zhen.
Especially after experiencing the ups and downs of the past few years and having his neck stuck from time to time, Li Yanping is also eager to use this opportunity to make a major development of the industry in the base area and get rid of the current situation of being extremely dependent on the outside world, but compared to Yang Zhenlai. It is said that Li Yanping is more stable. His character and position determine that he is not so radical.
Looking at the white hair exposed under Yang Zhen's military cap next to him, Li Yanping sighed slightly in his heart, but said nothing. He could feel the seemingly infinite pressure in Yang Zhen's heart at this moment. And that feeling of powerlessness inside.
Neither of the two people spoke anymore, but Yuan Zhiruo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, put one arm on the car window and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road that flashed by outside the car window. She didn't know what she was thinking in her heart. No. 2 and No. 2 didn't speak, and Li Mingbak, who was driving the car himself, didn't dare to say anything. Until they arrived at the destination, there was an oppressive silence in Yang Zhen's car.
Seeing the car arriving at its destination, Yang Zhen did not get out of the car in a hurry. He rubbed his face vigorously with his hands a few times to make himself look more energetic before getting out of the car and looking up at the meeting room where the negotiation was held. Although Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, he walked over firmly.
The moment Yang Zhen took a step forward, the depressed expression on his face had been wiped away, replaced by a high-spirited state. Seeing the change in Yang Zhen's expression, Li Yanping and Yuan Zhiruo were beside him. They smiled at each other. This is him, the Yang Zhen who never gives up.
