The Unparalleled Chinese Sage Chapter 58 Wedding and War

Chen Zikun was deprived of military power in this way.│／／com's new position has never been settled and can only be idle at home. At first, he often went to the Military Commission to inquire, but later he simply stopped going, growing vegetables at home and feeding them, cultivating and cultivating.

Before leaving, Chen Qilin visited Chen Zikun. He had a dual identity. He was both a student of Chiang Kai-shek and a brother of Chen Zikun. He was a candidate that both sides could recognize. He asked Chen Zikun if he had any instructions.

"Before the United States joins the war, remember to preserve its strength and not compete with the Japanese invaders for a while." Chen Zikun said with his eyes closed.

Chen Qilin said calmly: "I understand."

Chen Zikun said: "The war has been fought for four years, and the sacrifices are all the best children of the Chinese nation. You know who are living in the rear, speculation, profit-oriented, and change with the wind. This war is not the choice of survival of the fittest. We must leave some seeds for the nation."

Qi Lin's tone became a little more solemn.

"Shuangxi has been an adjutant with me for more than ten years, so it's time to go out to practice. You can take him to do whatever you want. Liu Xiaoyong is from the Jiangbei Military Academy. The young man has fought many tough battles and can take on great responsibilities."

"yes."

"There is another point, don't go to war with *** easily. I have made a gentleman agreement with them."

Chen Qilin frowned, but still said nothing.

"Okay, military affairs are urgent, you go, I won't leave you for dinner." Chen Zikun waved his hand.

Chen Qilin stood up, saluted, turned around, put on his military cap and went out. When he met Xiao Nan coming in, he obediently called Uncle Chen.

Xiaonan has gradually recovered his hearing under Jiang Qianqian's acupuncture treatment. Now he has heard and said that his hearing and ability is similar to that of a normal child. In order to exercise him, Liu Ting put him in an ordinary elementary school in Chongqing, and his speech was a little bit Sichuan.

Chen Nan is an adopted child and has been disabled since childhood. Chen Zikun and him have not had enough troubles. The child has always been afraid of this father. When he entered the yard, he saw his father lying on a chair, and lowered his head and called him Dad.

"Xiao Nan is back, sit at dad's place for a while." Chen Zikun pointed to the small stool in front of him. Xiao Nan sat down, a little nervous, but he quickly relaxed. He found that dad was not fierce at all, but was very funny and friendly.

When the father and son were having fun, Liu Ting came in and sent her son to play. She sat on a stool and said: "I learned the latest situation from the Military Commission. The United States failed to mediate, and the war is likely to break out within the year."

Chen Zikun said: "There must be a war between Japan and the United States, but it is only a matter of time. I think the leaders of both countries know this. In theory, the later the war begins, the more beneficial it is to the United States and the worse it is to Japan. I think Japan will definitely take action first."

Liu Ting said: "The views are similar. I estimate that Japan will use troops to Southeast Asia to capture Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaya, Singapore and other places, and eliminate all the US Navy's advance bases and obtain Southeast Asia's oil and rubber to solve the urgent problem."

Chen Zikun shook his head: "If I were the Japanese decision-maker, I would have taken Pearl Harbor. It is an important base of the US Navy, an important hub across the Pacific Ocean, a place where military strategists must compete. As long as several battleships and aircraft carriers of the US Pacific Fleet are sunk, there will be no opponent in the Pacific Ocean. When the Americans recover, the dust in Asia will settle, and it will be too late to counterattack."

Liu Ting was extremely surprised: "This is too bold."

Chen Zikun sneered: "What's this? I used to attack the provincial capital and captured Sun Governor Sun in one fell swoop. This is the way I took. The Japanese military advisers did not have this strategy?"

Liu Ting said: "If this is the case, the war will definitely come very suddenly. The funds in the Shanghai Concession and Hong Kong banks must be transferred as soon as possible."

Chen Zikun said: "I have sent someone to do it and transfer the large amount of funds to the United States."

Liu Ting breathed a sigh of relief and said sadly: "The current rice price is forty times more expensive than the year when the war started. The legal tender has depreciated and silver dollars have begun to be circulated on the market. If we hadn't had some of our family background, we would have starved to death long ago."

Chen Zikun said: "Will people starve to death in Chongqing?"

"Yes, illegal merchants hoarded goods, prices soared, but it made people suffer. The salary of university professors was only equivalent to more than ten yuan before the war. The government collected official grain from farmers and sold it to illegal vendors to make a difference. Many people made a fortune on this."

"Don't you care?"

"How to manage it? These businessmen have backends. In the end, the person being investigated couldn't handle it, so the investigators went in first."

Chen Zikun sighed and closed his eyes. The patriarch looked like this. Other places can be imagined that the war caused many families to be destroyed, but also made many people make money. This is the reality. If you don’t accept it, you have to accept it. He suddenly remembered the base area of ​​the capital. It was completely opposite to the patriarch. It was clear and the rent and interest rate were reduced. All classes of society could live a life. The situation in the enemy-occupied areas was also slightly better. The Japanese implemented the supply system, and at least they could not starve to death. In comparison, the situation in the Kuomintang-controlled areas was the worst.

Liu Ting said again: "The war continues. Although Japan is deeply trapped, China is also seriously injured, and its financial resources are almost exhausted. The southwest is not a prosperous place. So many agencies and troops are pouring in, so many officials and families are not enough food, foreign aid is insignificant, military expenditure is huge, inflation, politics is the government, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are suspicious of each other and frictions are frequent. If this continues, Japan will win, and China will lose even if it is unbeaten."

As we were talking, suddenly a ji dog jumped outside, and several soldiers in gray cloth uniforms came in. The leader was a captain company commander, pressing his gun holster and said, "Are you the owner of this house?"

Chen Zikun was still lying on the lounge chair: "I am, what's the point?"

The company commander said, "We are from the Gaoshè Cannon Company. We are ordered to garrison here. Your yard has been requisitioned. Get it clean and leave quickly."

Chen Zikun said: "Are you planning to use my yard as an air defense position or a garrison?"

The company commander said, "Then don't worry, just move away quickly. If you don't do it, I will ask my brothers to help you move. Don't be surprised by us rough people who smashed things."

Chen Zikun said: "I have no objection to requisition of private houses for the anti-Japanese war. At least you have to come up with a provision, and there are corresponding compensation. You can't just let someone move in just one sentence. My family of more than a dozen people have so many jars and jars. How can I move in a hurry? Where can I move again?"

The company commander said, "You are so talkative. Be careful that I will punish you for hindering military affairs."

Seeing that he was getting more and more arrogant, Chen Zikun said, "The person in charge of air defense is Huang Zhenqiu. Call him here and I will talk to him."

The company commander was shocked and said carefully: "Do you know General Huang?"

Chen Zikun said: "It's not a question of knowing each other. When I was in the Aviation Committee, I had some questions."

The company commander smiled and said, "What is your position in the Aviation Committee?"

"The Chairman, later, the news of his death was accidentally reported, so he asked Xian to Zhou Zhirou."

"It turns out it's General Chen. I deserve to die. Please punish me!" The company commander finally came back and stood at attention.

"Go down, don't bother the people. If you need to requisition, requisition it. Remember to give money to others. It's not easy for ordinary people." Chen Zikun said.

The company commander Nuonuo kept saying a word and fled with his subordinates in a hurry, and never appeared again.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was winter in Chongqing, and Chen Zikun was injured and was admitted to the hospital due to arthritis. Except for some old friends who came to visit, the senior management did not make any statement, as if he had forgotten him, the general who could fight.

On December 8th, on the 20th day of the lunar calendar, Chen Zikun led his family to Xue Bin's wedding. The venue was set up in the military club. Chongqing was in short supply, and even if they got married, they could not get enough wine and dishes. They could only keep everything simple, use tea instead of wine, and some melon seeds to greet guests.

Xue Bin is a little older than Chen Zikun. He is a man in his forties. He is wearing a clean military uniform with a clean chin. He tries to make himself younger. He deserves to be Jiang Qianqian in his twenties. Aunt Jiang married Uncle Xue. The children are happiest, especially Xue Bin's two sons, who are wearing dresses as children, are very busy.

Firecrackers were ringing outside, deaf, suddenly one person hurried into the venue and whispered a few words to Liu Ting. Liu Ting was shocked and walked over to Chen Zikun and said in a low voice: "You guessed it. A few hours ago, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet airlifted Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and the United States is finally going to join the war."

Chen Zikun was excited and picked up the teacup and said, "Everyone, calm down, I have something to say."

Everyone calmed down and looked forward to his blessing to the newcomer with a smile.

Chen Zikun said: "I have no intention of scattering the people, but this news is too important, and I can't wait to announce it."

Yao Yilei said: "Tell me quickly, don't you be so angry. Has the commissioner activated you?"

There was a burst of laughter everywhere.

Chen Zikun shook his head: "No need to guess, I tell you, the United States is finally going to join the war!"

After a moment of silence, the venue suddenly became boiling. China has been struggling for four years, but what we are waiting for today. Since the United States wants to participate in the war, victory is not far away.

"I suggest toast to the newcomers, to victory, and to the motherland that is suffering deeply!" Chen Zikun raised the teacup.

"Cheers!" The cheers rang out throughout the sky.

Two days later, the specific details of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor gradually spread to Chongqing. It is said that the US Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses, and all the battleships were sunk. The aircraft carrier was slightly damaged due to departure, and thousands of people were killed or injured. It was extremely tragic. The most important thing was that Japan launched a sudden attack, and only handed over the declaration of war after Pearl Harbor was destroyed, which would inevitably arouse the anger of the Americans.

Just one day later, the US Congress passed the declaration of war on Japan, and China followed closely behind and officially declared war on Japan, Germany, and Italy.

World War II finally kicked off with the addition of the United States.
