Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 704
After hearing Akio Doi's compliment, Qian Xiaobao said: "This time I came here specially to ask the head of the agency about one thing."

Then he told everything about Lin Zhengjiang's persuasion to go back to the Northeast to pull the team last night.

Akio Doi only listened to the beginning and listened carefully with his eyebrows frowned.

Qian Xiaobao asked after telling the whole story: "Director, in your opinion, will there be a war in the Northeast?"

"Definitely!" Doi Akio said decisively.

"During the time I lived in Shanghai, several senior officials of the Nationalist Government have visited here. They asked me a lot about the situation in Northeast China. From their words, I concluded that war will definitely be fought, as long as the troops of the northern powers withdraw The war will start soon! The Northeast is rich in products and food supply, and we have built so many factories, mines, railways and highways there over the past ten years, whoever occupies the Northeast will occupy a reliable rear base!" Akio Doi continued.

Akio Doi had stayed in the Northeast for many years, and he was still doing intelligence, so he knew the situation in the Northeast very well. This is why senior military and political officials of the Republic of China government asked him about the situation in the Northeast.

"After I arrived in Shanghai, I heard gossip that the army of the big northern country will withdraw soon." Qian Xiaobao said.

"As far as I know, it will not exceed half a year, which means that the war will start within half a year. Of course, even if the situation on the surface is calm now, the war under the surface has already begun." Akio Doi said.

"Then do you think I should accept the military commander's assignment and go back to the Northeast?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Akio Doi pondered for a while and said: "According to the agreement signed between the big northern country and the Nationalist government, the large and medium-sized cities in the Northeast must be handed over to the Nationalist government. The army and organizations of the Red Party have all retreated to the county towns and rural areas. You can go and have a look. Look at what the Nationalist Government and the Red Party are doing, but remember to go and come back quickly! Report to me what you saw in the Northeast as soon as you come back.”

"Hi!" Qian Xiaobao replied standing at attention.

Finally, Qian Xiaobao took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the table and said, "This is a small gift from some of us Kwantung Army intelligence officers in Japan to the chief of the department. We know you are very poor here, but inside It's only a hundred pounds, which is very little."

Akio Doi looked at the envelope and was very moved. Strictly speaking, he is now a war criminal with no source of income. It is rare that people still think about him now.

"You go, I will greet those high-ranking officials of the Republic of China government, or that sentence, go and return quickly, and try to come back before the war begins!" Akio Doi said.

Qian Xiaobao paid another military salute to Akito Doju and walked out of the study.

After a while the young man came in and asked, "Father, who is that young man?"

"He was a very capable subordinate when I was in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army. Remember, bring him in directly the next time he comes." Akio Doi said.

After a night of talking with Qian Xiaobao, Zhang Lixing was in a bad mood. Now his hometown in Northeast China has troops from the big northern countries, people from the Red Party and the National Government, and bandits all over the place. Originally, he wanted to go back to his hometown to reunite with his family. Started to waver, he is just a frail scholar, how can he go back without the strength to restrain a chicken?

Will he die on the way without knowing why?

The one hundred pounds that Qian Xiaobao gave to Akio Doi was snatched from Mrs. Kondo's house, and he deposited the remaining more than 1 pounds in the Standard Chartered Bank on the Bund before returning to his residence in Xingrenli.

At this time, the depressed Zhang Lixing had already returned.

"Don't worry, I may have to go back to the Northeast in a few days. Give me your parents' address. I will visit them in Fujin and tell them that you are doing well here, so they don't need to worry about it." Xiao Qian Bao said.

"You want to go back? Don't forget, I am more of a traitor than you. If you go back, you will be arrested and shot!" Zhang Lixing said.

"I'm different from you. I disguised myself and went back quietly. There are still some things and people in the Northeast. I want to take another look at the arrangement." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Although this is good, after all, it's better for me to go back and see for myself." Zhang Lixing said regretfully.

"How about I bring your parents back?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Zhang Lixing looked at Qian Xiaobao as if looking at a stranger and replied: "How is it possible? It is better to let people like my parents leave the land than let them die! The land is their lifeblood, and they cannot leave for a day!"

For the peasants, the land is what they dig out copper coins from between their teeth.

I would rather give up my life than give up my fields!

"It's not even January yet. Farming in the Northeast will take at least three months, right? I said that you are well-off in Shanghai. You wear gold and silver and live in a small foreign-style building to serve slaves and maidservants. Let them go and enjoy a few days of happiness. In three or four months, I will go back in a prosperous way." Qian Xiaobao said.

Zhang Lixing looked at Qian Xiaobao suspiciously and said, "You mean to trick my parents into coming to Shanghai?"

"Actually, it's better for you to go back than for me to go back!" Qian Xiaobao nodded and said earnestly.

"Look at how old you are? Are you in your early thirties? You don't even have a wife! You don't think much of it in a foreign place like Shanghai, but when you go back to Fujin's hometown, in the eyes of your relatives, you don't care. Is it a monster? For a person of your age, the children should be married in their fifteenth or sixteenth year. As soon as you get home, your parents will immediately find a girl who doesn't know the big characters and has yellow teeth who can only cook and feed pigs Press it on the kang where you sleep, and the next morning you will have a grandson, what will you do then? Are you willing?" Qian Xiaobao then asked.

Zhang Lixing was immediately moved by Qian Xiaobao's words, such a thing is not possible but inevitable.

"Think about it, from now on you won't even be in the mood to say a word to your wife in your life, you might as well die!" Qian Xiaobao finally said.

Scholars are all like Zhang Lixing, always fantasizing about finding someone who is in love with each other and fly together, but in the end, the beautiful fantasy is shattered to the ground!
In the end they sadly found that all the women were transformed from tigers or yakshas.

Zhang Lixing was completely moved by Qian Xiaobao's words.He apologized and said to Qian Xiaobao: "If my parents come, I can only let them live with you temporarily."

"It doesn't matter, which one of us is with who? You write a letter to your parents and attach a photo of you. Remember, you have to wear a suit and take a photo in front of the small western building! I will take it back to your parents Look." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Okay, I'll write right away!" Zhang Lixing said.

Seeing Zhang Lixing leaving excitedly, Qian Xiaobao cursed: "Fool!"
