Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 401: The non-existent way out?

The rear command center of the Nationalist army during the Battle of Shanghai was located in an inconspicuous but mysterious residential building.

This was a bold statement, and it was the office of Chairman Chiang, who had come all the way from the capital of Nanjing to focus all his energy on military affairs.

He understood the principle that a son of a wealthy family should not sit in a low-lying hall, and did not place his office in a conspicuous building to serve as a target for Japanese planes. After all, he had learned a lesson in this regard when he was in Nanjing.

He cherished his life, but Chairman Chiang was not in a very good mood at the moment.

Because the radio in front of him was broadcasting Yuyin, which was playing the part where General Wenbai, with a changed voice, was making indirect accusations and cursing at Chairman Chiang.

Chairman Chiang was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. Although he was only clever in a small way and did not have great wisdom, vision or ambition, he could still tell good words from bad ones.

To put it bluntly, the one-hour-long accusation broadcast on the radio was saying that if it were not for him, the highest official of the National Defense Military Commission, who hesitated many times in the early stages of the Battle of Shanghai, and repeatedly ordered the suspension of the combat plan implemented by General Wen Bai, he would have taken the lead in attacking the Japanese troops, missing the opportunity and ruining a good situation.

Can the National Army fight so passively in the current Battle of Songhu?

In particular, a time point was specifically mentioned during this relaxation period, which was the late night of August 8, when General Wen Bai led his troops to the ambush position of the Old Empire Marine Corps, waiting for him, the highest commander, to give the order to attack.

As a result, when General Wen Bai was about to take action in the early morning of the 13th, a military order came, which contained only eight words: No attack, wait for orders!
This eight-character military order completely paralyzed General Wen Bai. He was not the boss, but it was a rare occasion that everyone in the government was so united and not dragging their feet. They made plans and organized counterattacks. The bullets were all loaded, and you told me that we should not attack now. What orders are we waiting for?
Should we wait until the Japanese realize that we are going to take action against them first?
General Wenbai was puzzled, but he had no choice but to accept the military order, because he was not a direct subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek. He was a graduate of the Baoding Military Academy. If he dared to disobey orders on the battlefield, he would not have a good ending even if he won the battle.

Judging from the results, whether the first shot of the Battle of Shanghai was fired by the National Army or not may not have any impact on the final result, but at least the two sides will not be so passive now.

It was precisely because he understood the indirect criticism in the radio broadcast that Chiang Kai-shek became even more furious.

How could someone as extremely selfish as him think he was wrong?

So he swung his cane and smashed the expensive radio into pieces, cursing at the same time.

"Damn it! How does Dai Yunong do things?! I think his Military Control Commission should not be established! It is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything! Call him over, I want to question him face to face!"

The Mainland Daily newspaper office in the Western Concession.

Wang Yi stood on the balcony drinking tea and watching people coming and going in the concession.

Everywhere you look, in the coffee shops, western restaurants, or in the Chinese and foreigners in suits, they all hold a copy of the mainland daily newspaper in their hands, reading the contents of the newspaper and pointing at the occasional sound of artillery fire coming from the distance.

The world is so magical. Across the Suzhou River, with the racecourse as the center, the East and North Districts of the International Settlement were in constant war, while the West and Central Districts of the International Settlement and the French Concession were peaceful and the war could not and dared not reach these places.

In such a magical era, it is not surprising that many people have fallen to their knees and become elites, or pro-Japanese elements.

They looked at their compatriots on the other side of the river who were struggling under the flames of war with sympathy, worry, ridicule and mockery.

This kind of mentality is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are still countless people with this mentality. The reason is that we have lagged behind too much, suffered too many blows, and our backbones were almost broken. To change is not a matter of overnight success, but a long and arduous process.

But now, for Wang Yi, the changes in the mentality of these people in the concession were not what he wanted to pay attention to. His goal was to use the mainland daily newspaper he sent out to trigger condemnation of Chiang Kai-shek from all walks of life.

At least what he saw at the moment was that the Chinese and foreigners in the concession all held a copy of the mainland daily newspaper and were commenting on Chiang Kai-shek.

Human beings are the kind of animals that like to chat when they have free time, and this will not change due to race or country.

Anyway, the war couldn't reach the western part of the International Settlement. So for the people in the western part of the International Settlement, they were just a group of spectators. What's wrong with the spectators saying that the actors on your stage didn't perform well?
What's worse, some people began to follow suit and invited military observers from Britain, the United States and the Red Soviet Union to come and comment on the situation.

After all, this method of expanding the sales of one's own newspaper will inevitably attract followers as long as someone starts it.
-
At the Nationalist army's rear command center during the Battle of Shanghai, Yan Shuangying was acting as a security guard outside a house, staring at Secretary Chu, a close confidant of Chairman Chiang.

Inside the house, his only superior, the bald man, was scolding him harshly.

Only after the bald man had vented all his anger did Lao Dai come out in a somewhat embarrassed manner. After apologizing to Secretary Chu in front of him, he took Yan Shuangying into the car.

Yan Shuangying looked through the rearview mirror at the person in the back seat who was also very angry and had nowhere to vent, so he asked tentatively.

"Sir, do you want to find out who is slandering the chairman behind his back?"

"What the hell! Are you going to arrest someone just based on a sound? Who are you going to arrest? There were only a few people fighting on the front line at that time. They were already very angry. If we investigate now, there is no evidence at all. Who do you think the old man will cover up for? Or me?"

"Yes, it was my negligence. Do you want me to send someone to shut down this mainland daily?"

"Banned? Wang Yi is your savior after all, you are stabbing him in the back."

"Sir, you worry too much. Favors are favors, and justice is justice. Since Boss Wang slandered the chairman behind his back and took his anger out on you, I have to share your worries."

It has to be said that Yan Shuangying's tactic of retreating to advance earned him more points in Lao Dai's heart, but Lao Dai also understood who he could offend and who he could not offend.

Currently, Wang Yi holds an American passport and is the leader of the Continental Group in the Republic of China. Given these two identities, it is impossible for him to do anything to Wang Yi even if he had ten times the courage.

"Forget it, it's enough that you have this intention. Let the old man get angry. Isn't this the result he wanted in the beginning? To fight a war in front of Britain and the United States. This is not what he wanted. He just didn't show his face, but his buttocks were exposed."

"But if you let these newspapers circulate outside, it will be difficult for you to explain to the chairman."

"I know that. So, you can send me to the French Concession later, and then I will go back to follow up on the recruitment and training of students. Let me take care of the bad guys."

"Yes, but sir, I have an unwelcome request."

"Speak." "This time we recruited so many students, a mixed bag. The Green Gang disciples are fine, but those college students, in my humble opinion, should not be sent to this battlefield. They are all talents of the Party and the country, and it would not be good for you, sir, to waste them on this."

"Yes, it's good that you have this intention, but if I don't use up some of these students on the battlefield, I won't trust me. So, you pick out the best ones from these students, and the rest can only rely on their own fate."

"Yes."

Yan Shuangying's hands trembled as he listened to Lao Dai deciding the fate of these young people who responded to the National Government's call and were determined to serve the country in just a few words.

For him, a lucky man who was rescued from the purgatory on earth of the Dongxiang troops outside the Great Wall, dying for the country was not a terrible thing, especially after he had some training in the Tang Sect under Wang Yi's arrangement. He understood more that when necessary, life is not important.

But precisely because of this, he understood more clearly what kind of awareness these students and young people who devoted themselves to serving the country had. However, because of Lao Dai's few words, most of them had to become Lao Dai's abandoned pawns in order to reassure Lao Chiang, and died on the battlefield. He felt sorry for these people from the bottom of his heart.

Some ideas in my mind are also quietly changing.

That night, Wang Yi was recuperating at the Mainland Daily Newspaper Office.

He knew his situation better than anyone else. Previously at the Luodian battlefield, in order to help Guo Ruyue, his own man, he had spent a large amount of true Qi to help him pull more than 1,500 seriously injured brothers and sisters back from the brink of death. Although they still died on the battlefield in the end, those who survived were Guo's best and most trusted team members.

Considering Lao Guo's performance on the battlefield and his status as a member of Chiang Kai-shek's direct line, which was the fifth class of the Whampoa Military Academy, according to Lao Guo's historical trajectory in the original time and space, he would only be more successful in his career in the National Government.

Before, he asked Liu Wei to help convey a message that he could help with issues such as armaments and manpower, but he didn't expect that Chiang Kai-shek would solve the problems for Wang Yi.

Directly arrange Lao Guo and Zhou Weiguo, the two direct descendants, to lead the Jinling Teaching Corps.

For Chiang, this army was the most loyal of the loyalists, and the middle and high-level officers could be said to be the emperor's disciples.

However, the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing almost destroyed this unit, and its unit number was basically revoked.

But that is what will happen next. At least for now, sending Lao Guo, a native of their own, into this army is the greatest reward for Wang Yi.

He also had to restore his currently depleted energy as quickly as possible.

He had to prepare for the Battle of Nanjing, the greatest tragedy to the Chinese nation in modern times during the War of Resistance.

He already has soldiers and generals available, that is, the combat power of the aliens. No matter if there are people from the alien circle to help in the end, he has to appear on the battlefield.

Fortunately, he possessed the triple power of reverse rebirth and magnetic field martial arts.

The miraculous effect of the Threefold Reversal of Life, which can reshape the human body like memory metal, allows Wang Yi to adjust his body to the best condition without relying on a doctor.

The magnetic field martial arts allowed Wang Yi to resonate with the magnetic field of heaven and earth through his own soul, mobilizing vast amounts of heaven and earth Qi to pour into his body. He then purified the mottled heaven and earth Qi and breathed it into his own body to replenish his depleted true Qi.

In this regard, the Trinity Sect's Three Levels of Reverse Rebirth is indeed much more effective than the Tianshi Mansion's Golden Light Curse.

Zhang Zhiwei, who cast the Golden Light Curse, was injured while going down the mountain to fight against the Japanese. He had to return to the Tianshi Mansion as soon as possible to recuperate before going down the mountain.

For those who practice the third level of Reverse Rebirth, as long as they reach the second level and have enough true Qi in their bodies, even if they are injured, as long as they leave the battlefield as soon as possible and rely on the state of Reverse Rebirth maintained by their own true Qi, they can adjust their bodies in the fastest time and join the battle again.

However, one is practicing both the body and the soul, an endless method to reach the sky, while the other is currently at the third level, a unique skill that is unrivaled in the world.

Over the years, Wang Yi has always remembered his promise to Zuo Rutong, hoping to help him find a way to continue the progress of the Three Stages of Reverse Life, and turn the Three Stages of Reverse Life from a miraculous skill into an endless method to reach the sky.

However, no matter how Wang Yi tried over the years, he had only developed various magical uses of the Three Levels of Reverse Life, but he had no idea how to move forward.

Because he found that no matter how he used the Triple Level of Reverse Life, it seemed that this miraculous skill had reached its limit, but his intuition told him that the Triple Level of Reverse Life did have a future.

The recuperation during this period was Wang Yi's attempt to re-examine his Three Levels of Reverse Life and figure out where the future of the Three Levels of Reverse Life lies.

At this time, Wang Yi was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on the rooftop of the Mainland Daily Newspaper. As he breathed in and out, the entire concession, including the urban battlefield on the other side of the river, all flowed the Qi of heaven and earth and gathered towards Wang Yi like an invisible vortex.

Under the impact of this majestic energy of heaven and earth, Wang Yi's third level of reverse life was also pushed to the extreme.

His whole body was white, and against the backdrop of white Qi, Wang Yi at this moment looked like a white jade sculpture sitting there.

It is crystal clear, and even the internal organs, limbs, and meridians can be seen clearly.

Wang Yi continued to repeat the process of practicing the Three Stages of Reverse Life until he heard the sound of a car engine and then he slowly stopped.

He exhaled a breath of foul air, blowing up dust all over the rooftop, and Wang Yi's body slowly returned to normal.

Wang Yi frowned as he watched his body gradually returning to its normal human skin color.

"It is said that all things come from three. The founder of the Sanyi Sect was right to name this unique skill the Threefold Reverse Birth. Therefore, the future of the Threefold Reverse Birth is not to develop four, five, six, seven, eight, and so on. The Threefold Reverse Birth is enough. The various functions of the Threefold Reverse Birth that I have developed over the years are actually the same as the Golden Light Mantra of the Tianshi Mansion. They are just automatically extended after practicing to a certain level.

The reason why no seniors in the Sanyi Sect have achieved this is because there are too few seniors who have reached the triple realm. But if the triple realm is perfect and the starting point for continuing the journey, then has my triple realm not been firmly established from the beginning? The sluggish feeling of the upper, middle and lower dan when running before is the key to continuing the journey. Is it that as long as the upper, middle and lower dan can be connected as one even if it is not in the triple state, it is the starting point after the triple realm?
A process of constantly drawing circles and infinitely approaching the absolute circle? "

Just as Wang Yi was thinking that the road after the third level of reverse life was essentially a process infinitely close to an absolute circle, Liu Wei had already brought Boss Dai upstairs.
