Chapter 73 The Heart of a Child (1)
At around 5 pm, outside the south gate of Yan'an City, there were crowds of people outside the 5ooo. People from all walks of life in Yan'an gathered together to welcome Chen Jiashen. Various teams pulled out various flags and slogans, and the team of overseas Chinese returning from Nanyang who were living and studying in Yan'an timely put out a large banner with the slogan "Warm welcome Mr. Chen Jiashen" to set off the welcome atmosphere to **.
Chen Jiashen, who walked off the car, was moved by the enthusiastic scene of welcoming the crowd. He bowed to the crowd from time to time and waved to the crowd frequently.
Zhou Enlai and his group rushed to the south gate and had no time to talk to ***, and joined the warm welcome crowd.
Ma Qian'an stood on a high ground, silently looking at the old man Chen Jiashen in a suit and in a vigorous and energetic old man, looking at his entourage, a group of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia dressed very differently from the military and civilians in Yan'an, full of excitement and was infected by the enthusiasm of the welcome crowd. Ma Qian'an's heart couldn't help but be slightly pulled. A trace of vagueness, which was not easy to grasp, suddenly flashed in his mind and became clearer. He was even accidentally squeezed by the crowd and fell and fought. The consciousness was still tenaciously in his mind, becoming more and more vivid.
At the welcome party that followed, Chen Jiashen said emotionally: I have long hoped to visit Yan'an, and now this wish has finally come true. I am very happy! The vast number of overseas Chinese in Nanyang are in the same mood as me. They all hope that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will continue to cooperate and fight against the war together. Only in this way can we further inspire the patriotism of overseas Chinese and make more contributions to the war of resistance of the motherland!
Chen Jiashen's words inevitably brought the idea of electing the Kuomintang as the mainstay, which was related to his cognition. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he had been paying attention to the situation in China and was elected as a senator of the National Government. He believed that since Chiang Kai-shek unified the country, the country's hope and orthodoxy were of course the Kuomintang. This time he led the delegation of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to return to China and arrived in Chongqing to visit Chiang, but he was disappointed and confused, so he had a trip to Yan'an.
Without understanding Yan'an**, this wise old man with a patriotism would not have changed his attitude immediately.
Before coming, Chiang Kai-shek's words slandered **Yan'an were still in his ears, and he could not help but confuse him.
However, at the welcome meeting, these deep and ideological words cannot be expressed. Chen Jiashen will not foolishly ask Mao ZD about the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in public, as well as the conclusion that Chiang Kai-shek said is correct.
Ma Qian'an followed Yang Jingyu to attend the welcome party. During the meal, he was fortunate to meet Mao Zd and was introduced to Mao Zd. This should be his biggest gain today.
In the following time, Ma Qian'an was looking at Chen Jiashen's direction and pondering silently. Yes, Ma Qian'an had an idea, and he especially wanted to chat with Chen Jiashen in private, but the time is not ripe now, and he had to wait until a few days later, Chen Jiashen with a brand new mind and concept appeared.
After the welcome meeting, Chen Jiashen checked in the Yan'an Community Office Guesthouse. The so-called guesthouse was just a few rows of caves with better conditions. At the same time, a few people who came back from Moscow were temporarily arranged here.
At night, when Yang Jingyu, who was in the same cave with Ma Qian'an, fell asleep, Ma Qian'an opened his eyes wide and stared at the black roof, continuing to conceive his action plan.
On the second day, Ma Qian'an walked with the comrades from Ansai Iron and Steel Plant to guide and complete the design and manufacturing tasks of the rocket launcher. Ansai Iron and Steel Plant was dozens of miles away from Yan'an. It was the only small steel plant in Yan'an at that time. It also had weapons and ammunition urgently needed on the front line. Its output was very small and it was one of the few industries in Yan'an.
Chen Jiashen was arranged to visit Yan'an Women's University, Yan'an Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, Yan'an City and Ansai Steel Plant, participated in four mass gatherings, and had several long talks with senior military and political personnel such as Mao Zd and Zhu D. Over the past few days, what he saw and heard in Yan'an completely overturned his original thinking. As his understanding of the border areas deepened and his understanding of the ** policy deepened, he gradually relieved his doubts. After field investigation, he believed that **'s words and deeds were consistent, his position of uniting the war of resistance was consistent, and his wishes were consistent with the overseas Chinese. He saw with his own eyes
When the military and civilians arrived in the border area, the officers and soldiers agreed, believing that this was the "foundation of defeating the enemy". On the other hand, the Kuomintang was "the rear" and officials waited for foreign aid, and the people were suffering without anyone to care about the suffering, and military failures were gradually defeated. In contrast, they felt that they knew the hearts of the people and overseas Chinese. Many responsible officials of the Kuomintang knew nothing about the situation of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and only knew that overseas Chinese donated huge sums of money to support the war of resistance. They did not know that most of the money was donated by the middle and lower-level overseas Chinese. Now that the Japanese ambition to advance south was revealed, the enthusiasm of overseas Chinese to fight against Japan increased. Whoever ignored the hearts of the people and overseas Chinese would not be willing to do so.
Mr. Chen Jiashen changed. The depression caused by worrying about the future of the motherland was gone and replaced by a satisfied smile. He once said to Zhu D who was by his side that what he was most satisfied with was that he really saw that the ** side was firm in adhering to the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, insisting on the War of Resistance to the end, with a firm stance and sincere attitude; he was particularly excited about the spirit of hard work in all walks of life in the border areas. Through his visit to Yan'an in the past few days, through the details of all sizes, he saw the future, and he had already gained absolute confidence in the victory of the War of Resistance!
Chen Jiashen, who had been in an excited state, visited the Ansai Steel Factory with great enthusiasm. When he saw the rough weapons produced in a simple environment, he shook his head and felt dissatisfied with the Kuomintang's policy of encircling Yan'an Border Region. In any case, the Eighth Route Army soldiers should not be allowed to fight against the war with ragged weapons. However, his well-equipped army passively avoided the war and blocked Yan'an, ripping Yan'an's hind legs, leaving Yan'an in such a difficult situation.
But he was also invited to see a test shot of a new weapon, and saw a rocket dragging a trail successfully shattering an iron car.
Chen Jiashen was surprised to see the huge power of this new artillery and asked anxiously: "How much does this artillery require?" A tall and greasy technician replied: "This artillery is expensive in shells, and it takes 12 oceans to make a raw material."
“Who is the designer and engineer?”
Ma Qian'an, who was covered in oily face, immediately answered Chen Jiageng's question and said, "Mr. Chen wants to fund the creation of this rocket launcher? The more you have, the better. A thousand is not too little, and a thousand is not too much."
