None of this seems to have much to do with President Wang Hengyue.
Wang Hengyue seemed a little nervous before, but from the first minute the war broke out, he seemed to be completely relaxed. He also fulfilled his promise:
Never interfere with anything at the headquarters.
The only thing he has to wait for is to see victory come with his own eyes.
"I like victory." Walking on the path in the fields, there seemed to be a faint sound of artillery in the distance. Or was it a new attack by his own army? Wang Hengyue thought to himself and looked at Chiang Kai-shek beside him.
Eye: "Some people will say that everyone likes victory and dislikes defeat, but the victory I long for is different from them..."
Seeing a big rock in front of him, Wang Hengyue walked over and greeted Chiang Kai-shek to sit down: "When we fought the civil war in the past, no matter what kind of victory we achieved, I was not excited at all. The fighting was our own business.
Later, when we fought against the Russians, my expectations were a little higher. But this time when I fought against the Japanese, I suddenly became excited..."
Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "The president is always full of desire to fight against the Japanese."
"It's not a desire, it's not a longing." Wang Hengyue smiled and waved his hand: "It's a passion that comes from deep in his heart. I once said that although Japan is our enemy, it is not the real and biggest enemy. What we need most is
The number one enemy we attach great importance to is Russia. But even though I said that, when it came time to attack Japan, I suddenly became excited."
A Le, who was standing next to him, had a smile on his face.
As the president's personal guard, he really knows what the president is thinking. Maybe the president dreams about going to war with the Japanese...
Chen Lifu came over and listened calmly. When Wang Hengyue's words came to an end, he immediately took a telegram and said: "President, North Korea, the Northeast Front, our Head of State Division and Guard Division have all won, and the main forces on each front are now
The troops are advancing in depth towards the Japanese army."
"I understand." Wang Hengyue did not answer the telegram: "Just let them fight hard."
It's not that he is unhappy, but that such a victory has long been expected. With complete preparations to fight an unprepared enemy, if this battle cannot be won, then starting from himself as the president to the officers below
It’s time to go home and work in the fields.
What he is now thinking about is how to restore order as soon as possible after the liberation of Northeast China, Taiwan, and North Korea.
These three places have been ruled by the Japanese for a long time. Although there are constant resistance in various places, the Japanese's enslavement education has been very effective.
Everywhere there are locals who are willing to be slaves, and everywhere there are people who have forgotten what kind of blood is flowing in their bodies.
They do not identify themselves as Chinese, and they are willing to do things for the Japanese.
It is a simple matter to regain a place, but how to eradicate the enslavement mentality brought about by colonial rule is the most difficult.
Perhaps this is the same as building a navy, which also requires the efforts of several generations...
There were several farmers working in the fields not far away. Wang Hengyue stood up and walked over there. Chiang Kai-shek and A Le hurriedly stood up and followed closely behind him.
"Old man, there is a war here, are you still working?" Wang Hengyue walked to the edge of the field and asked.
A middle-aged farmer glanced at him with a numb expression, and then said coldly: "In a war, you have to work. In a war, you have to eat."
Wang Hengyue was not angry: "I'm from the south. I heard they are fighting the Japanese?"
The farmer put down his hoe, lit a pot of cigarettes, took a breath, and sighed heavily: "First it was the Russians, then they ran away, and then the Japanese came. Now it is the government troops who have come to take back the Northeast. This is a lump in the Northeast.
It never stopped. God knows whether the Japanese will come back again in the future after being beaten away..."
The words are very negative, but they are the truest thoughts.
These ordinary people are really scared!
They don't have any high requirements. They just hope to have enough to eat every day and live peacefully. When the Chinese New Year comes, they can have a meal of dumplings, which would be perfect.
That's all they're after...
However, the cruel reality prevents them from even meeting this requirement.
Wang Hengyue sighed softly in his heart.
Since he took charge of the supreme power in China, with the successive introduction of various measures, China has ushered in the era of large-scale industry, and the living standards of ordinary people have also been greatly improved. However, there are still some places that his power could not reach before. China's
The people still live in poverty.
Such as here.
But now it's better. When the government troops regain the Northeast, they will enjoy the same treatment as other parts of the country...
"The Japanese are here. How are you doing?" Wang Hengyue suddenly asked.
The farmer smoked his cigarette and said in silence for a long time: "How can I live my life? Just live one day at a time. As for who the current president is, he is really nothing...
"
Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Lifu, and A Le suddenly changed their minds when they heard that the president was openly insulted.
Wang Hengyue stopped them with his eyes: "Tell me, why is the president no longer a thing?"
The farmer said bitterly: "Everyone knows that this great president has something wrong with the Japanese. He beats the Japanese all day long and drives the Japanese away. He drove the Japanese out of Beijing and out of Qingdao, but only now did he think of this problem with us.
What? The Japanese have lost a lot of territory. They have no choice but to desperately search for us..."
Wang Hengyue's eyelids twitched, and then he listened carefully to what he said:
"Little Japan only has such a big place in China. If he doesn't scratch ours, who else can he scratch? When Qingdao was taken back by the government, Little Japan seemed to have gone crazy. He was like a mad dog all day long either raising taxes or robbing.
Some of the workers at East-West and Manchuria Railways were owed several months of wages, and their entire family almost wiped their necks and jumped into the river. Not to mention, there was really no way out in the past. A man could still be a beard, and a wife could still be a beard.
Open your thighs and sell x..."
He sighed heavily: "But now, women don't even have the right to sell sex. The Japanese say that private prostitution is illegal. If you want to sell sex, you have to register it at a place designated by the Japanese, and then become a public prostitute and pay monthly
Tax, this is not legal. There are two families in our village. Don’t laugh at us. If there is really no way to survive, who would let his mother-in-law and daughter do such a shameless thing? Those two families
One is the daughter-in-law and the other is the eldest daughter. They were forced to do this out of desperation. However, half of the money spent on receiving guests every day has to be paid in taxes. The rest has to be paid to the family members, rent, and so on.
We have to deal with the police, and there are only a few big guys left. But we still have to do it. Why? The whole family is waiting for them to eat. If you say no today, the whole family will be hungry at night...
"
Wang Hengyue's expression gradually became serious after hearing this.
The farmer put on a bag of cigarettes: "So, you said that the government drove away the Japanese and they all rushed to the Northeast. Can the Japanese not take out their anger on us?"
A Le couldn't help but said to the side: "You are also big men after all, why don't you go with Little Japan? I heard that there are many beards in the Northeast, and being a beard is better than this."
"That's easy for a young man like you to say." The farmer sneered: "Being a bearded man doesn't mean whether he has capital or not. If you don't want to die, don't all the people in the whole family and the whole village want their lives? The Japanese are afraid of getting into trouble.
The best thing is that even if you sit down, if one person acts as a beard, the whole family and the whole village will follow and risk their lives!"
A Le was stunned and couldn't say a word...
There was no trace of anger or joy on Wang Hengyue's face: "You're right, the president back then was really nothing. He also wanted to regain the Northeast as soon as possible, but he has been waiting for the opportunity. He thought of everything.
Yes, I just didn’t think about the hardships suffered by the people in the Northeast..."
The farmer shook his head: "Actually, what I just said was angry. If you want to blame me, I can't blame him entirely. I heard that after he became the president, the people's life was pretty good. I hope that when he recovers our country,
, thank God that our life can be easier!"
"I'm sure of this." Wang Hengyue said very seriously: "I have connections in the Nanjing government. I heard that this time in order to drive away the little Japanese, and at the same time to compensate the losses of the Chinese in the war areas, the government has prepared a large sum of money.
Come to compensate you for the losses you suffered during the war."
"Really?" The farmer and his companions widened their eyes.
Wang Hengyue nodded: "Really, not only that, but there will also be a large degree of tax relief to help you get through the most difficult period after the war, so your life will not be bad in the future."
Although they were dubious, they finally saw hope. The middle-aged farmers suddenly became a little scared: "Sir, you just said that you have someone in the government. You won't tell him what I just scolded the president, right? I need to say this."
If the news reaches the ears of the President, I will have to go to jail if I don’t want to be beheaded..."
Wang Hengyue finally showed a smile on his face: "No, no, don't worry, the president back then was very talkative. When he put on those clothes, he was the president, but when he took them off, he was still an ordinary person like you? I
I also tell you that even if you scold him in front of him, as long as the scolding is reasonable, he will not be angry."
"I don't believe it." The middle-aged farmer said suspiciously: "How can there be such a good person in the world? You must be there; you are lying."
Wang Hengyue laughed "haha": "You will know when you have the opportunity to see him in the future!"
