Chapter 764: Chao Yuanhong's Choice
"Staff Officer Fang, you are here." Chao Yuanhong was a little excited. He had been living like a year in the past two days. He didn't know the situation at home or how he would be dealt with.
"Are you still used to living these two days?" Fang Xiaoyang asked.
Chao Yuanhong hesitated and said with a bitter face: "Dissatisfied, Staff Fang said, "You are so dissatisfied with me, Mr. Chao has been living like the past two days."
Fang Xiaoyang smiled and saw the cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table. He reached out and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over: "I'm so busy that I haven't touched the ground these two days, and I forgot to see you. I'm so embarrassed."
"It's okay, Staff Fang, it's understandable." Chao Yuanhong smiled embarrassedly and reached out to take it. He had already stopped. Although he had not been to jail these two days, it was no different from going to jail.
Maybe I felt a little embarrassed to take apart the cigarette he gave in front of Fang Xiaoyang, so I stuffed it into my pocket.
"Didn't go out for a walk?"
"I'm not in that mood, Staff Fang, are my father and family members okay?" Chao Yuanhong asked with concern.
"Don't worry, they are all fine. In two days, it will be your first seventh day. Now, except for your father, no one knows that you are alive. You only know that you will not see anyone in your life and will not see a corpse in your life. Most of the time, you will not be able to go back."
"What about those people who went out with me?"
"Everything is fine, but we can't move freely for the time being. Now there are rumors outside that you have been taken away by the ghost soldiers. This is also good. After a while, we will find a way to take away all the families of you, so that even if the Japanese want to investigate, they can't find anything."
"That's true, but..."
"You clean up, wash your face, change your clothes, and follow me. Our master's seat wants to see you." Fang Xiaoyang solemnly ordered.
"Sir Leng wants to see me?"
"Yes, our master wants to see you." Fang Xiaoyang nodded.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes now." Chao Yuanhong was shocked. He knew that the critical moment that determined his destiny had come.
Chao Yuanhong deliberately chose a gray military uniform, which he wore when he participated in the Northern Expedition. At that time, he was a major battalion commander. Later, "April 12" happened. When he saw the brothers who had fought together, he felt discouraged. Not long after, he took off his military uniform and returned to his hometown. Although the old commander tried to keep him for a long time, he did not continue to stay.
He didn't expect that he would wear this military uniform one day, but he would be in such an awkward situation.
"Master, he is here!"
"Well, please come in." Leng Feng nodded. Chao Yuanhong was cold for two days. If he stayed cold, he should have an idea. Leng Feng decided to meet this person.
If there is really a rescue, it is a useful person. You might as well use it. After all, you have not reached that point yet. If you beat him to death with one stick, you will almost not be able to reform yourself. That would be absolutely absolutely true.
Everyone has times when they make mistakes, at least Chao Yuanhong stopped at the last moment.
"The sinner Chao Yuanhong has seen Chief Leng." Chao Yuanhong walked in, lowered his eyebrows and looked down. Before he could fully look up and saw Leng Feng, he had already admitted his mistake and put his posture very low.
Leng Feng was a little surprised. Chao Yuanhong was actually wearing a military uniform, which was still the military uniform of the Northern Expedition Army.
"Mr. Chao was able to put national justice first in the end, stop the horse, and also helped us annihilate the remnants of the Japanese Isogai Division, and captured Isogai Ryosuke and others alive, and there were still some contributions." Leng Feng said calmly.
"Fortunately, Chief Leng sent someone there, otherwise Yuan Hong would really become a nation's sinner." Chao Yuanhong said gratefully.
"I can only express my understanding of your choice. After all, it is your closest relative of blood. If you let them ignore them, it will be a waste of father. However, I do not agree with your choice because it is wrong and the approach is even more wrong." Leng Feng rebuked sternly. "You are too selfish. If you just want to protect them and do things for the Japanese, it would be fine, but everything you do will kill more Chinese people. They are your closest relatives and can survive. Should others die? You are too selfish."
A hint of shame flashed across Chao Yuanhong's face. He was selfish. If he really did this, many Chinese people would really die.
"What's more, they can threaten you by your lover and children. This means that they even use their own people to deal with it. Do you think they have a future in this country and nation? And if you exchange the blood of your compatriots for their temporary peace, you will eventually harm them. You will not tolerate China or Japan in the future. You may be able to live, but the shame will be carried for the rest of your life, like a walking corpse."
"Sir Leng, stop talking. I am too selfish and stupid. I can't understand such a simple truth. I deserve to die, damn it!" Chao Yuanhong said crying bitterly.
"You can recognize this, which means you are still saved." Leng Feng stared at him, you have also been a soldier. Your military uniform should be from the Northern Expedition Army, right?"
"Yes, Yuan Hong once served as battalion commander in the Northern Expedition Army. Later, he didn't like his brothers killing, so he left the army and returned to his hometown to manage his ancestral business."
"Brothers kill?"
"I left the army after April 12. My troops and the old commander died in the battle between the Central Plains." Chao Yuanhong explained.
Leng Feng nodded. It was the darkest period of the Chinese revolution. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party killed blood, and many people's passion was extinguished. Chao Yuanhong was probably one of them.
"Mr. Chao is too..."
"I am nothing, I am a soldier, and soldiers should not interfere in politics. So, I just wanted to be a pure soldier and join the Northern Expedition Army because I agreed with their ideals and beliefs to change China. I am neither gmd nor ***, but I agree with Mr. Zhongshan's Three Principles of the People." Chao Yuanhong explained.
"Does Mr. Chao still want to change China today?"
"Sir Leng, to be honest, I have been very depressed over the past ten years. I have studied hard for ten years. My father even sent me to study in Japan. He has learned a lot of skills, but he can only stay in the countryside. He is a little unwilling to be with people who are stinky on weekdays."
Although Leng Feng did not agree with his idea of looking down on merchants, merchants pursued profits and sometimes did not care about the law and use any means to harm them. The policies of suppressing merchants in previous dynasties are not unreasonable. Merchants' greed will destroy the entire society.
But the role of businessmen cannot be ignored. Everything is two-sided, and not all business people are greedy and unvirtuous. However, when bad money drives out good money, many things are overcorrected and are abandoned because of choking.
"Mr. Chao did not cause losses to the country and the nation, and he also made great contributions. What are your plans for the next step?" Leng Feng asked.
"Yuan Hong has nothing to ask for, just to be safe for his family."
"You are only in your early forties this year, and you are at the age of doing careers, why do you have nothing to ask for?" Leng Feng smiled, "Otherwise, I would like to ask for me in front of Chairman Jiang, and at least I can get a job with a single official position."
"Sir Leng, if the Japanese knew that I was still alive, then the lives of Sakurazi and Sihong and his son would be difficult to protect."
"If you change your identity, no one except them, mother and son, should know what you look like. Besides, you have been away from Japan for twenty years, right?"
"Yes, I have changed a lot in the past twenty years. Even Sakurako may not recognize me."
"In this way, I will give you two choices. First, I will ask you for merit in front of Chairman Jiang. With such contributions, and your previous work in the Northern Expedition Army, you will be appointed as a colonel. There is absolutely no problem. Change your identity and stay in the military academy for two years. When the matter is over, then make plans." Leng Feng said.
Chao Yuanhong said silently. This sounded good, but he is now alone and can't go back to his home. According to Leng Feng's words, he will no longer care about his affairs in the future.
"There is another way. If you join the Honorary First Division, you will definitely not be able to be a colonel. But you were a major before, and you started as a major and served in the staff office. I will ask someone to give you an identity and ensure that it will not be found out. I will use all my strength to help you find your lover and the child she gave birth to in Japan. You can consider which one you choose." Leng Feng asked.
"Sir Leng, I..."
"Don't rush to answer me. This is not a trivial matter for you. It's also appropriate to think carefully and carefully." Leng Feng said, "When you think about it, you can tell Fang Xiaoyang. In addition, it's better to name yourself."
"My mother's surname is Yang, so why is my name Yang Hong?"
"Yang Hong, yes."
"Thank you, Chief Leng."
"Don't thank me, this is your own choice, otherwise, I will not give you this opportunity." Leng Feng said coldly, "Sometimes a traitor should be cut into pieces than a Japanese!"
Chao Yuanhong felt cold inside. He could feel the awe-inspiring murderous intent of the young Chief Leng. He had also heard some rumors in Yutai that when Chief Leng attacked a traitor, he was never ruthless and died at his gun. There were hundreds of traitors.
Leng Feng is not a bloodthirsty person, nor is he killing innocent people indiscriminately. He knows that some people do things for the Japanese just to live, and some people don’t understand what national justice is, and their future interests are in their eyes.
These people need to be treated differently. If they only do things for the Japanese and run errands to live, Leng Feng would not really take the lives of such people. After all, there are many people in this type of person, and killing too many people will also hurt the world. He either kills traitors who are determined to do things for the Japanese. Such people may not have been directly stained with blood on their hands, but some Chinese people die because of him, and some people have been stained with blood.
Anyone who has had innocent Chinese blood in his hands will definitely die without exception.
"Whatever he wants to do in Dohihara, if he doesn't work, he will change someone!" Teraunuchi Soichi and Dohihara had completely lost their patience and were very dissatisfied with Chief of Staff Major General Naosaburo Okabe.
"The Dohihara Division suffered a considerable loss a while ago. His opponent is the China Army Honorary First Division, which is supported by the devil's troops. We cannot take this army casually. It is understandable that Dohihara Jun treats it with caution." Naosaburo Okabe said slowly, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Kenji Dohihara.
The Front Command had already ordered to go south and cut off the Longhai Road. The strategic task that was originally estimated to be completed in only two or three days was only four or five days at most. After ten days, the troops had only been halfway through. What's going on?
The elite 14th Division, under the threat of the troops of the Imperial Japanese Army, lost its aggressive spirit and stopped moving forward?
This is too ridiculous. Does Kenji Doihara have the enterprising spirit of leading the 14th Division to attack Taiyuan?
It was not until the news of the defeat of the Independent 13th Division in Yanzhou that Naosaburo Okabe focused his attention on the Honorary First Division.
The Chinese army's record was really shocking. It actually defeated four elite divisions of the empire in Nanjing. The 16th Division almost withdrew from its homeland and rebuilt. The other three divisions, the 6th, 9th and 13th Divisions, were all in their hands to lose their troops.
It is not unreasonable that Kenji Doihara is so cautious.
"This is not a reason. The base camp's combat order No. 84 is not a joke. Xuzhou's strategic plan to encircle and annihilate the elite Chinese army must be completed. If the Chinese army in Xuzhou is released because of his delay, he will bear all the responsibility!" Teraunuchi said angrily.
The North China Front Army must first occupy Xuzhou. He must meet with Hata Shunrok in Xuzhou. He wants to let the world see that he is not a person who relies on the protection of his father and ancestors to take up his current position. He has real talents and knowledge.
