Chapter 345 The host is hospitable
After entering the other courtyard of Commander Haer, Ma Qian'an carefully looked at the farm-style courtyard located on the edge of the mountain. The courtyard was two places, 8 tile houses, and several wing rooms. The scale was not much better than that of the quiet.
There are no rockery, pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, etc. in the courtyard. The whole courtyard is simple and generous, and it is just right. There are three butlers and servants standing in the courtyard. Obviously, these people are the people who usually take care of the courtyard.
Ma Zhanshan first pulled Zhou e1 into the living room to discuss "major matters", signaling Ma Qian'an to take a look and wait and come in later.
Well? Is Mr. Ma going to talk about the top secret? My level is not enough? Ma Qian'an's eyes turned a few times, but he still didn't ask.
Since he knew that the owner of this courtyard was Fan Shaozeng, Ma Qian'an, of course, asked his whereabouts of his master. Where is it now?
The housekeeper quickly provided the information of the master. Mr. Yan came back to report his work more than ten days ago and was afraid he would go back to the front line soon. If there was any important matter, please tell me as soon as possible and he would tell me immediately.
Ma Qian'an scratched his head and thought for a while with confusion. His understanding of Fan Haer came from several TV series. It seemed that the protagonist was also a leader who refused the civil war and finally led the team to join the Communist Party. So, he would be his own people in the future. Although not now, his thinking system has almost been formed, and it will never be difficult to be a problem. He is a target that can be fought for.
Ma Qian'an consulted the butler, "Where is your commander Fan fighting now?"
The housekeeper had learned Ma Qian'an's identity from the driver's mouth. He was well-educated. He was a little stunned and replied cautiously: "This General Ma, you may not know much about my master. General Fan was already the commander of the army as early as 27th year of the Republic of China. He is currently the commander of the 88th Army. He is now stationed in Yichang. The Japanese cannot go up the river to reach Chongqing. In fact, we General Fan stopped in Yichang. They are the front line."
"Oh...oh!" Ma Qian'an really didn't know these many details. Nowadays, there are thousands of generals. If they didn't want to remember them, no one could remember their frequent promotions and transfers.
Ma Qian'an bowed to the butler and apologized: "Look, I don't know the details. I only heard that General Fan has been generous, chivalrous and upright in his life, and is respected by people especially in the world. He also heard that he had been a division commander. He didn't know that General Fan has been promoted to commander and is still on the front line of anti-Japanese war. He didn't know that he had offended many words, so I hope he would forgive him!"
We can praise people, so we can! Besides, Fan Shaozeng can afford to praise this. He also heard that Fan Fan has many wives, and the management is quite regular, and he is as talented as a company! Of course, this kind of thing is not easy to praise. If you omit it, it may be expressed as "enviousness, jealousy and hatred". Let's forget it.
The living room in the house. Zhou e1’s conversation with Ma Zhanshan has been very in-depth.
According to the secret agreement reached between Chiang Kai-shek and Russia, the source of Ma Zhanshan's troops will be from the workers sent to Russia by Chiang Kai-shek, and they will be extracted from the labor force in a ratio of 10 to 1. That is to say, there are about 10,000 workers in the Far East of Russia. Ma Zhanshan can draw 10,000 people to form a ** army and be organized into the 361st Division. The number of "direct" soldiers in Ma Zhanshan's hands is proportional to the number of workers sent to Russia by Chiang Kai-shek. Shidaling still needs at least 20,000 workers to participate in the rear production, which also means that Ma Zhanshan can draw 20,000 people. If the export labor plan is smoothly carried out, theoretically, Ma Zhanshan can establish a 30,000 direct line on Russian land. After training, we will find an opportunity to transit into the northeast to attack the Japanese army.
But there are also uncertainties in this plan. Shi Daling now hopes that Chinese workers can arrive as soon as possible, but he does not want Ma Zhanshan to form an army to enter Northeast China as soon as possible. The reason is that he does not know whether the Japanese will use this as an excuse to tear up the contract and invade again. Now this time is simply too bad. The German army is aggressive, the battle of Ukraine has ended, and the Russian army has lost 60,000 yuan. Now there is a major situation in the direction of Viazma again, and the situation is very bad. Under this severe situation, the trend of the Japanese becomes the biggest threat. Shi Daling will not fulfill the agreement with Chiang Kai-shek so quickly and hand over the laborers to Ma Zhanshan to make him form an army.
Ma Zhanshan also admired Zhou e1 very much. In addition, he was about to go to the Northeast to fight against the war. Except for his 361st Division, the rest of his soldiers were all from the Anti-Japanese United Army. If he did not communicate well with Yang Jingyu and the others, this kind of cooperation would be unsustainable.
If you talk more with Zhou e1, you can find out the real ideas in Yan'an, and you can find the right way to cooperate without going astray.
"General Ma, you can reach this agreement with Lao Chiang this time, and you also know the background, so I won't say much." Zhou e1 looked very relaxed, as if he was talking to an old friend, without any hesitation. He picked up the tea cup, gently blew the tea leaf floating in the cup, took a sip, and continued: "After September 18th, you fired the Jiangqiao War of Resistance and fired the first shot against Japanese imperialism. This spirit and national integrity are very admirable, so I believe that you are in the Northeast and are consistent with us in the general direction of the struggle against Japan. Our troops in the Northeast are also sincere in their attitude towards you. They will never set any obstacles for you. In the moment when the whole nation is in danger, all of us should first consider how to save ourselves, rather than surrendering to the enemy openly or tugging with the invaders like some people."
Zhou e1 solemnly expressed his intention to give Ma Zhanshan a reassurance. He believed that Zhou was sincere. As he saw, Ma Zhanshan said: "I believe what you said! I saw the situation in Yan'an with my own eyes. I once told my friends privately that Yan'an is the representative of the people, and they are so vigorous and energetic. Under the leadership of Mr. Mao and **, in time, a prosperous society will definitely appear, and everyone will live and work in peace and contentment. This time, it is a blessing to cooperate with people like Mr. Mao and Mr. Zhou!"
...
Both of them expressed their opinions and understood each other in their hearts. The little doubts Ma Zhanshan had originally had disappeared. Zhou e1 talked to him about many major policies, which also made Ma Zhanshan quickly find his position. He understood that ** would not give up military power, and he also understood this. Ma Zhanshan's positioning was to cooperate comprehensively with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, act in joint operations, support each other, respect each other's will, and fight against the enemy in a general direction.
"Don't worry!" Zhou e1 smiled and clapped his hands, "You have worked as a volunteer army, Yang Jingyu and the others have worked as an anti-Japanese army. You all know that it is difficult to survive in the Northeast, but the situation has improved greatly now. At least in the short term, the Japanese will have no choice but to do anything to you."
In the Northeast War of Resistance, what is the greatest threat to the lives of the rebel soldiers? It is not a face-to-face battle with the Japanese. The casualties in the battle are not the main reason for the destruction of the Anti-Japanese Army. The biggest threat is other problems, which are severe cold and hunger!
The territory of the Northeast is large enough to have countless hidden places to hide, and countless terrain that can be used to attack the Japanese. The Japanese cannot gain any advantage in small-scale battles. The most terrifying thing is that they have no clothes or food, which no one can stand. The number of Volunteers and Anti-Japanese Allied Forces who died of cold and hunger is greater than the casualties in the battle.
As long as clothes and food are solved, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces can deal with the enemy and become the enemy's nightmare. Now, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and Equipment, with its excellent weapons and organized activities, has accumulated enough supplies to survive this severe winter. The severe cold and hunger cannot rag on the lives of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers.
Ma Zhanshan was overjoyed. The old soldier knew that the logistics supplies were available and he had more confidence in the prospects of the Northeast War of Resistance.
The two talked about Ma Qian'an. Ma Zhanshan wanted to ask Ma Qian'an to be transferred to his name for command. Zhou e1 smiled and shook his head, "I see, you have to ask Xiaoma's own opinions. Although you are his elder, he may not listen to you."
"Did he agree, I can transfer him to the 361st Division?"
Zhou e1 smiled and said nothing.
Ma Qian'an sat in the yard bored, holding the bolt on the gate of the small stone bullet, and the gate sounded.
Ma Zhanshan also brought some officers and staff to Chongqing. At this time, he was going through cumbersome procedures in various yamen in Chongqing. Chiang Kai-shek agreed to allocate some military pay. According to the ** standard, the 361st Division was set up. The soldiers were required to pay. Chiang Kai-shek did not think that Ma Zhanshan could form a unit like the ** Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. What if the ** soldiers were not paid?
At this moment, there was only a small officer who looked like an adjutant in the yard. He knew Ma Qian'an's identity and was very reserved towards Ma Qian'an. He called out the young master at once. Ma Qian'an frowned when he heard it. He refused to pay attention to him if he was ineffective.
A car rang out and stopped outside the gate. Then there was a sound of closing the door. The housekeeper had already trotted forward and opened the door. A fat middle-aged man with a silly eyebrows and a silly face squeezed in like a gust of wind, and opened his mouth, "I heard that there are distinguished guests coming to my yard? Ha! Is it fun to have friends coming from afar?"
Huh? This man looks happy, which makes people feel happy at first sight. Ma Qian'an hurriedly stood up and looked at this person. This man dressed in short silk pants, with a commoner, slightly open his arms, and shaking a fan. The weather is no longer hot, why are you shaking the fan? It's interesting!
The visitor quickly walked to Ma Qian'an, looked at Ma Qian'an slightly raised his head, and suddenly stretched out his finger and poked Ma Qian'an's belly. He laughed with gloating: "I want it, I want it! Brother is Ma Qian'an, right? I've heard about you, and I'm laughing a lot. I heard that Kong Er is interested in you?"
Judging from this, it is probably Fan Shaozeng, who is funny.
"Captain Fan?" Ma Qian'an asked tentatively.
The person who came stabbed Ma Qian'an again, and laughed so hard that he couldn't find Bei. "What are the commander Fan? Call me Lao Fan, brother, if you don't dislike me, just call me Brother Fan! Oh, don't say it, I'm not taking advantage of you, we are really in trouble."
What are you teasing about? Who is in trouble with you? You get into a relationship as soon as you meet. Fan Haer’s emotional intelligence is really not an ordinary person. Ma Qian'an complained.
