You can have hot meals at 6:30. Considering the "convenience" of using wood stoves in this era, you should be able to prepare food for hundreds of people, and you should get up at 4 or 5 in the morning.
Does their enthusiasm for supporting the army only come from the traditional culture that "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country"?
It is true that this sentence has been widely circulated. After all, it is also a sentence that often appears in opera, drum lyrics, storytelling and other entertainments that were not popular at this time.
However, the people here obviously belong to a place similar to a "base area", so why do the people in the base area support the anti-Japanese resistance and "Laotian" and the others so much?
Sitting silently at the small square table, the enthusiastic rural uncle and aunt put down the bowls and chopsticks, immediately poured in soy milk, brought out crispy fried dough sticks, and even a few plates of side dishes.
Looking at the patched clothes on these farmers, they must be reluctant to eat such luxurious food as fried dough sticks.
Sure enough, as the uncle and aunt were enthusiastically serving the food, the female soldier dressed in village girl clothes who was poaching just now also enthusiastically helped to carry the food.
Not only was he busy, but he also greeted Tetsujiro Yamaoka,
"Come on, Mr. Yamaoka, try our soy milk fried dough sticks. This is something that the folks are usually reluctant to eat."
Hearing the female soldier speaking Japanese, the uncle and aunt on the side who were originally diligently placing side dishes on the table slowed down a lot. Looking at Zhang Sixing and Yamaoka Tetsujiro, their originally enthusiastic faces became a lot colder due to confusion.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, this... this meal is for the Japanese?"
The aunt holding a plate of salted duck eggs stopped in mid-air and looked at Zhang Sixing with even more confusion, as if she wanted to slam the plate of salted duck eggs directly into Zhang Sixing's face.
Reaching out to take the salted duck eggs from the aunt's hand, Zhang Sixing explained with a smile,
"Auntie, I am Chinese. That Japanese is my prisoner."
While speaking, he glanced at the girl named Xu, hoping that she would understand that Tetsujiro Yamaoka was not someone she could "win over" for an anti-war alliance.
In addition, he clearly knew that if it weren't for losing the bet with him, Yamaoka Tetsujiro would definitely be a die-hard militarist. Apart from surrendering, the best way for such a Japanese soldier to "fight" is to shoot him.
And if he didn't have this kind of "relationship", I'm afraid that if this guy wields his sword, even a dozen or twenty people would be no match for him.
After looking at Zhang Sixing, the girl named Xu continued to talk to Tetsujiro Yamaoka angrily,
"Mr. Yamaoka, everyone does wrong sometimes. If you study in Yan'an in the future, you will understand that the war of aggression is an unjust war, and you are also a victim..."
Listening to the girl surnamed Xu, Bala, Bala kept talking, Zhang Sixing suspected that the Japanese soldiers who joined the anti-war alliance were probably annoyed to death by them, so they agreed.
Tetsujiro Yamaoka, on the other hand, was like a stone and refused to listen to the girl named Xu. But Zhang Sixing could see that his throat was moving up and down. After all, the last meal was sent by the British early yesterday morning.
"hill"
"Hi, sir, please give me your instructions."
After hearing Zhang Sixing's call, Tetsujiro Yamaoka, who had been sitting there silently, stood up, bent down and waited to accept Zhang Sixing's order.
"When eating, food must not be wasted in China."
"Hi"
After bending down and saluting again, Yamaoka Tetsujiro took a bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks from the table. However, he did not serve the table, but took a few steps away before starting to eat.
"Mr. Yamaoka, you'd better sit at the table and eat."
The girl named Xu made another suggestion, but was bluntly rejected by Tetsujiro Yamaoka.
"I can't. You don't understand the rules when dining with adults."
The female soldier named Xu, who was not sure why, looked at Zhang Sixing and then at Tetsujiro Yamaoka in confusion. On the other hand, Hansen Raul, who was probably attracted by the female soldier named Xu, said next to him,
"Miss Xu, you don't have to persuade him. The Japanese are very stubborn. If he hadn't been captured by my commander, he would still be killing Chinese people on the Shanghai battlefield with a gun."
He looked puzzled at Hansen Raul who had shaved his head again and even used Vaseline to comb his washed hair until it was shiny.
"You don't need to worry about him. Just treat him as my commander's... servant. You didn't hear that he calls my commander "sir".
This time the little female soldier named Xu turned around, looked at Zhang Sixing and said,
"Sir, since he is your prisoner, can you let him join the anti-war alliance organized by us?"
After swallowing a mouthful of gas, Zhang Sixing coldly threw out two words:
"Why?"
The little female soldier named Xu seemed to have finally found the rightful owner. When she was about to speak again, she was stopped in time.
"Xiao Xu, how could you do this? How can you do this at work? You poach people in front of others without Mr. Zhang's consent."
"Tian Zheng..."
The female soldier surnamed Xu, who almost called out the word "Wei", was glared at by "Lao Tian", and then shrank her neck. But she still felt a little aggrieved and said,
"Why, it's not easy to meet Japanese prisoners of war. This Mr. Yamaoka is..."
"He also said that he should go back and write a 500-word examination."
"yes"
Seeing "Lao Tian"'s serious attitude, the little female soldier named Xu pouted and walked away.
"Mr. Zhang, don't mind, that girl just joined the army not long ago. She just has enthusiasm..."
However, "Old Tian" soon discovered that Zhang Sixing was looking at the farmers who were delivering the food, feeling their enthusiasm. At the same time, he was also looking at the uncles and aunts who came with them, and naturally a group of children who appeared.
Unlike the children in the city, the children with snotty noses probably haven't studied. They all carry dung baskets on their backs, hold small dung shovels, and have sickles hanging on their waists. They even have to catch up with cattle.
Of course, it is very likely that the cattle are not the family's cattle, but are being herded to the landlord's family...
One by one, they looked at the soy milk, fried dough sticks, and even soy milk with sugar, and stared at the food on the small square table. They swallowed unknowingly, and at the same time, they looked at the soldiers curiously.
The young men in the military camp should be familiar with the matter of herding cattle, and the reason why the people in the base area support us should be the result of the struggle to reduce rents and interest rates.
In many anti-Japanese literary and artistic works, they often talk about how fast and how fast we can pull the troops. In fact, the root cause is just a relatively fair redistribution of social wealth.
To put it bluntly, the government and the majority of the people are a fish-and-water "community of interests." With this foundation, the War of Resistance Against Japan is bound to win. After all, the Japanese, who want to use China as a strategic resource for the rear, cannot do this anyway.
a little.
After seeing through the political, economic, and social nature of "rent reduction and interest rate reduction", we can easily conclude that in the face of the guerrilla war behind enemy lines after the struggle to reduce rent and interest rates, the Japanese have no possibility of victory.
This is a means of victory at the strategic level, which cannot be achieved by relying on the strength of ships and artillery. It is also the fundamental reason for the failure of the Chairman, who is still a comprador bourgeoisie.
To put it bluntly, whoever has a community of interests with the majority of people will win and eventually occupy the world.
Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world, this is what we call it.
