Rao Guohua and Zhang Lingfu vowed that they were "not qualified to comment" and that "soldiers do not discuss politics." However, when You Ansheng and others began to attack the corruption of the Chongqing government, Zhang Lingfu first launched a counterattack, and then Rao Guohua received several calls from the front line. , couldn't help but join the war. The different political stances offset their natural hatred of the enemy due to the war against Japan. What Zhang Lingfu couldn't bear the most was his friend Ansheng's attack on Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship. He believed that the current enemy was strong. When we are weak, a strong government must stand up to win over the hearts and minds of the country's military and civilians. The Chairman's proposal of "one government, one party, and one leader" is a last resort measure based on national conditions and in response to the needs of the Anti-Japanese War.
Rao Guohua disagreed with this, and mercilessly criticized Chiang Kai-shek for this move, which was to confuse the front-line soldiers. Although there were considerations for the war of resistance, the fundamental purpose was to realize his dictatorship over the country, and declared that if Chiang Kai-shek succeeds, , then even if the war of resistance can be won this time, it will not make the country rich and powerful and the people will not be able to get rid of the fate of national sovereignty being trampled on by Western powers since the late Qing Dynasty. "The country is a country of 400 million Chinese people, not a certain political party, let alone If one person entrusts the rise and fall of the country to one person, what is the difference between that and the imperial family and the world in the past? If it is for this purpose, why did the predecessors of your party launch the Revolution of 1911? They will not take advantage of the chaos. Let’s start competing in the world.” Finally, he asked Zhang Lingfu,
The General Political Department of the Xuebing Army is not a decoration, and Ji Xingwen is not a simpleton. From the general headquarters to the company and battalion guidance at the bottom, continuous political learning not only plays a role in uniting people and boosting morale, but also has a very important effect. The function is to let the student soldiers know why they joined the army and why they fought. Therefore, although the student army has not put forward a clear political slogan so far, senior military officials such as Rao Guohua have long been immersed in it. Everyone has consistent political opinions, so when political topics are discussed, Rao Guohua will make a splash and behave like a politician.
Rao Guohua was forced to get involved in politics for the first time, and gradually expanded his horizons through study. Zhang Lingfu did not dare to be interested in politics. The reason why he fought back was just because of the Huangpu tradition. He felt that it was necessary to defend the dignity of the principal, so the real discussion To be honest, his layman's background will soon be insufficient.
You Ansheng originally started the topic, but when he saw that Zhang Lingfu was frustrated, he acted as a peacemaker for ulterior motives. He winked at Rao Guohua and said: "Okay, okay, everyone is Soldiers will not talk about these disappointing politics, but Colonel Zhang, our military commander has a saying that says a lot. Soldiers must first understand why they are fighting and who they are fighting for. This must not be ignored. Everyone is passionate about it. If we protect our homeland and the country, if it is used by someone with ulterior motives and causes widespread dissatisfaction among the people, it will go against our original intention."
At this time, Zhang Lingfu had realized that politics was his shortcoming, and he had always believed that politics was a continuation of military affairs. In other words, if the battle was fought well, the political points would be more. Based on this understanding, he felt that he was in full swing in the army. It was really a disadvantage to discuss political issues with them when I was there, so I deliberately avoided what You Ansheng said and walked down the steps: "What Director You said is absolutely true. We soldiers can just carry out the orders from the top. Politics should be left to politicians."
But You Ansheng shook his head: "We won't talk about politics, but we must understand who we are fighting for. Colonel Zhang, can I ask who you are fighting for?"
"Of course it's for the country."
"That's not right." You Ansheng shook his head again,
Zhang Lingfu knew what he wanted to say next when You Ansheng said "no". His face turned ugly and he almost shouted, "Director You, didn't you agree not to talk about politics?"
Zhang Lingfu was a little angry, which made You Ansheng decide to take advantage of the situation to pursue and completely break through his defenses. He looked at Zhang Lingfu and said seriously: "This is not politics, but strategy. A person cannot live without ideas. In the same way, an army exists It must also have its own soul, so what is the soul of the army, the concept of protecting the homeland and the country..." You Ansheng talked eloquently amidst the sound of gunfire and fighting, Zhang Lingfu gradually became restless,
He could avoid talking about politics on the excuse that soldiers do not discuss politics, but this did not affect his judgment. He spent two years in prison for killing his wife. It was these two years in prison that allowed him to calm down and observe carefully. This world, and then he discovered to his horror that after experiencing the initial relatively pure revolution, the political party he was willing to devote his life to was actually controlled by a group of greedy people. The harm done to the government by the four major families, Chiang Kai-shek was here It was not clear in the mountains, but he, the bystander, could see it clearly. He originally thought that after experiencing the baptism of war, he had forgotten these dark things. But now after listening to what You Ansheng and the others said, he realized that he was wrong. , he has never forgotten at all,
"General Rao, please give me a cigarette." He suddenly reached out to Rao Guohua for a cigarette.
Rao Guohua had just received a call from the front line and had just made new arrangements. At this time, he was judging the battlefield situation with a cigarette in his mouth. Hearing this, he was stunned for a while before taking out a cigarette and handing it to him.
You Ansheng did not stop talking because of his absent-mindedness: "...Many people have commented that our military academy worships foreigners and favors foreigners, saying that we would rather hug the thighs of Britain and the United States than launch a counterattack at home. These people really stand up and talk without pain, If our cadet army and the Northeastern Army hadn't blocked the Japanese offensive in Indochina, the southwest would have been attacked from both sides. If we hadn't thought about counterattack, what would our Commander-in-Chief have done in Karachi? If we hadn't thought about counterattack, why would we have come to Nanchang? If If it weren't for our serious lack of officers, we would have already armed a million-strong army and marched to Nanjing. Colonel Zhang, I heard that the Chairman of the Generalissimo is very worried about dismantling the motley army. Many officers blocked the door of the Military Commission. To implement the requirements, see if it is possible for them to come to us. Our commander-in-chief has no distinction between central and local governments..."
A butterfly's little wings flapped, and a hurricane blew up in World War II. The German military delegation headed by Falkenhausen and Guderian's armored forces joined the German army in attacking Moscow; the "V2 rocket" debuted in advance and became an offensive weapon. Moscow and the weapon to attack Great Britain, the battlefields of Britain and Soviet Russia were in crisis, and the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet was destroyed, Midway Island became an island of ruins, the cadet army suddenly emerged and developed an ocean-going navy, and the U.S. aid supplies to China were greatly reduced, until Chiang Kai-shek His wife's visit to the United States was intensified, which directly affected the Chongqing government's reorganization of the army, and also intensified the conflicts between the Central Army and local ragtags. The military industry in the southwest was weak, and the U.S. aid supplies to China were limited. It seems reasonable for Chiang Kai-shek to give priority to his direct descendants. It's just the middle and low-level officers of the local army who suffered.
You Ansheng Tuqiong saw that Zhang Lingfu was not stupid. He immediately figured it out after comparing the before and after. At this time, he had been tortured by You Ansheng's long speech and lost his temper. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said: "I said, why would Director You treat me?" A man from the Central Military System who is generous with his teachings turns out to be waiting for me here."
When his intention was discovered, You Ansheng was not ashamed or annoyed and said directly: "Then Colonel Zhang, can you help me with this?"
