The sky in winter is blue, but also very cold.

The Northeast Autonomous Region has achieved great victory on the battlefield in recent years, and the hostile forces around it have been basically eliminated. The Russians in the north have no threat in the short term, and Japan in the east is now surviving in a state of siege. The Qing Dynasty is now in name only, and the governors are independent, and now they are still under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. If the Northeast really uses troops to Beijing, it is likely that the Southeast Mutual Protection during the Eight-Nation Alliance invades China will appear in advance, and the provinces jointly watch the capital. The south is not peaceful now. In addition to North Vietnam, three of the other four provinces are fighting, while the remaining South Vietnamese provinces have riots or vicious murder cases break out from time to time. However, the good news is that such incidents are greatly reduced, and the Northeast's control over the five Southeast Asian provinces is further strengthened.

The Northeast Autonomous Region has shown a prosperous situation, and the Northeast Insurance Team is naturally indelible. However, behind the prosperous era, the insurance team has also paid a huge price far beyond people's imagination.

Since the establishment of the autonomous region, the Northeast Insurance Team had nearly 100,000 soldiers killed, and the number of disabled people had exceeded 200,000. In addition to the Russians, the enemies on the northern battlefield often brought terrifying damage from the low temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius in winter would even be far higher than the former. If Wang Yi had not learned the lessons of Napoleon and Hitler's failure in attacking Russia, and the direction of the insurance team's offense was opposite to the previous two, it was to start from Russia's weakest Far East and gradually advance westward. However, even so, Wang Yi would not dare to launch a large-scale attack westward based on the advanced weapons in his hands when the railway logistics was not in place. It was true that once the winter came to a deadlock, Wang Yi would increase his military strength to 500,000 and 600,000, and he would not be able to get rid of the fate of failure. At that time, one move would affect the whole body, and the good situation achieved in the Northeast would be ruined, which would be really not worth the loss.

Wang Yi cannot ignore the huge damage to the insurance team members, both physically and psychologically. Now the war in the north has come to an end for a while, and for at least five to eight years, there is no possibility of a comeback. Then the issue of resettlement of disabled soldiers should be put on the agenda. Although there was simple policy support before, with the gradual increase of disabled soldiers, the previous policy of unified land arrangements or re-employed in factories seems to be somewhat unable to keep up with the changes in the actual situation.

The current local industrial development level of the Northeast Autonomous Region has been under control for so many years, and can be said to have accumulated a lot of money and can definitely be called the best in the world. If it is just used to arrange disabled soldiers, it is naturally not difficult. But the problem is that in addition to these disabled soldiers, Wang Yi also has to arrange retired insurance team members. In this way, the number will immediately increase several times, and the difficulty can be imagined. Although it sounds like a good solution to the disabled soldiers, the soldiers themselves are physically disabled. If they are allowed to engage in heavy agricultural labor, their income after the transfer is not well guaranteed.

The sky is big, the earth is big, the food is the biggest!

If a disabled soldier cannot even have enough food after he is discharged from the army, Wang Yi feels that he can find a place where no one can swallow his gun.

But the experience in later generations was limited. It was not Wang Yi's complaint. It would be fine if the warriors who had beaten the Japanese were ignored. However, those old Red Army and old revolutionaries could really keep up with the tide of reform and opening up and get the benefits they deserved to make a fortune. In fact, they were probably not the majority. Of course, the reasons were mixed, and the situations in different regions were different. We should not curse them in a big way.

"What should I do?" After coming out of the General Academy of the Third Army, Wang Yi's mind was still those broken feet whose toes were frozen off, their faces that were blown out of recognition, or numb or angry. He needed an explanation to these soldiers who served their loyalty to the country.

That night, a middle-aged man wearing a cotton robe and jacket came outside the black iron gate of a small courtyard in the west district of Shengjing Iron and Steel. The black felt hat covered most of his face, without leaving any braids, and was carrying a greasy bag on his shoulders. He was seen with his old waist in the cold wind, holding his shoulders, trembling.

A dim little incandescent lamp was hung outside the black iron door. The light and shadow kept changing with the cold wind, lengthening and shortening the man's figure.

Seeing that there were no pedestrians around, the man knocked on the black iron door three times.

After waiting for a long time, the movement came from the courtyard. As the heavy footsteps sounded from far to near, a sound finally came.

"Who is outside!"

"Wang Butcher Wang, it's me, Zhang Ermazi. He took the liberty to bother, and he came to the house tonight and wanted to entertain others, but he had no meat."

"So it's your boy!" As he spoke, a small window opened on the door, revealing half of his ferocious face full of flesh. "So you want to buy meat?"

"Yes!" Zhang Ermazi smiled and said, "You are suffering."

“How much do you want?”

"A pig's head is nine pounds and five ounces!"

When Wang Butcher was stunned when he heard this, he stared at Zhang Ermazi for a while before saying, "Confirm?"

"Sure!"

"Where will this pig's head be sent?"

"After handling, I will be sent to the Municipal Party Committee compound outside the south gate of Beiling Park in Shengjing. There is a bridge there. The road is slippery and the road is added. In the first month of the year, it is best to put on fireworks."

"When is the time to send it?" asked Wang Butcher Wang, his face as terrifyingly dark.

"You can do it yourself, of course the faster the better."

"Understood!"

Zhang Ermazi smiled at this time and said, "If I could send it to the West, the four-clawed dragon will have a 100,000 taels of gold."

The two of them were talking very little, and they didn't expect others to hear it.

"Is there anything else besides giving pig heads?"

"There's another thing! I bought poker yesterday and there was a card in it. I haven't seen it before." Zhang Ermazi said as she took out three notes from her close-fitting clothes and handed them to Wang Tuhu. "Okay, I've paid the deposit, let's go first."

Zhang Ermazi walked away at will, and after a few steps, he disappeared into the vast night.

Wang Butcher returned to the room. The yard was not big, with two rooms, one big and one small. He did not enter the big house, but took out the key from his body and opened a small house. It was all the guys he used to sell pork, and there was a smell of blood in the room. He moved the table for cutting pork, opened four square bricks underground, revealing a package wrapped in oil cloth.

At this time, Wang Tuhuo looked complicated. After opening the package, the things inside were all contraband. A long spear, a pistol, two boxes of bullets, and...**!

Take out the deposit left by Zhang Ermazi before leaving. It was three pieces of paper money. It was normal for both of them to be on the upper and lower sides, but the middle one was a black and white photo. The two on the upper one, one was Wang Yi, and the other was Xu Shichang who came to the northeast.^-^^-^
