"It's so satisfying to eat a big piece of meat per person. Look at the way the cooking class cooks it. All the meat is boiled into soup and delivered."
The old comrade wearing glasses was struggling hard with the roasted pheasant. A pheasant weighed more than three kilograms, and he had already swallowed half of it.
"Hey, you are also...a deputy commander. Can you pay attention while eating?"
"What's wrong with the deputy captain? Eating is just eating, why do we need so many rules?"
Han Cheng was too lazy to listen to what they had to say. These matters were none of his business, so he could just eat in peace.
"Little comrade, it's been so long and I still don't know what your name is?"
"Oh, my name is Han Cheng."
Han Cheng said while eating.
"How did you join the Red Army? During the meeting at that time, I saw that you could talk well. Have you read a book?"
"I've... read the book. As for how I joined the Red Army, I've even forgotten it."
When I woke up, it was at the end of the Long March. How could I know how I joined the Red Army? My predecessor was dead and not even a trace of recorded information was left.
"Forgot? You don't have other motives, do you?"
Other purposes, I'm afraid these purposes have all been buried in the ground, and the only thing left is to survive.
"What's the use of talking about this? Maybe one day I will be shot as a counter-revolutionary. Let's not talk about it. I will eat meat."
I don’t know if I am already disappointed. I am just a soldier, so what can I do?
"You said that the Japanese will soon attack Guannai. How did you judge that?"
"Judgment? Does this still need to be judged? Relying on the strong industrial capabilities of Northeast China, Guan Nei is a piece of meat to the Japanese. If he makes up his mind to bite a piece of meat, no one can stop him."
Regarding the harm caused by the Japanese, Han Cheng did not mind speaking more seriously, but the severity of the language did not produce psychological attention.
"Outside the customs...forget it, we will know what defeat means when the Japanese come."
Talking about the future now is like saying how wonderful your dream is, but no one will believe it.
"Eat, eat."
This hesitation to speak made everyone feel awkward, but they couldn't force the question. The old comrades could only talk about eating meat to cover up the embarrassment. They didn't know what they were asking, but they could feel that Han Cheng was not
I don't really want to talk about this.
I don't want to say it, but I don't dare to say it at all. Now I am also afraid, for fear that what I say will lead to death. Instead of taking the initiative to say it, it is better to wait for them to come and ask, and then I will say it.

"Comrade Han Cheng has a deep understanding of the reactionaries. Can you talk about the reactionaries?"
Hearing this topic, Han Cheng shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it, but it was useless to talk about it. The Red Army's troops who did not dare to confront the Japanese army would be directly crushed during the Anti-Japanese War.
First, they are not the elite troops of the national army. But in the end, they were the ones who failed.
"In fact, it is useless to say anything now. Although the Xi'an Incident has been peacefully resolved and the friction has stopped, internal cooperation will naturally restart. What I am worried about is not this issue. What I am worried about is the resistance of the troops to the Kuomintang. If
We have really reached a willingness to cooperate. What will the comrades who have a blood feud against the Kuomintang think? What will they do?"
"This is not groundless. We must be prepared to face difficulties. There are a large number of brothers and sisters imprisoned in the Kuomintang prisons. Their hatred for the Kuomintang is no less than ours, or even greater than ours. How can they be comforted? Their internal emotions must be
How to appease us? Although the Japanese are ready to move in Peiping, once we are at odds with the Kuomintang and the Japanese find an opportunity to take advantage of us, neither party will be able to survive."
Once the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate, the Kuomintang will first release tens of thousands of so-called political prisoners in prison, not to mention the subsequent issue of the united front. The Red Army will belong to the national army.
Once such a result is formed, it cannot be eliminated with a simple conversation. At least at this point, Han Cheng can't think of a suitable way to solve it. If you are not careful, the entire team will fall apart, or even be taken advantage of.
Han Cheng didn't know how it was resolved peacefully in the end. No one knew how much it cost or how many people died before letting go of hatred.
Anyway, after the words were brought up, the old comrade wearing glasses fell silent. He felt very complicated now. Because he was also a person who had been in the Kuomintang prison and had to go through a lot of hardships to get out.
"What you said makes sense. These are all problems we face."
"So, I can only raise questions for you. The rest of the solutions I can't come up with very good solutions. I can only say that I want you to have time to think about this problem in advance. You are all old comrades, and you have many connections.
There are more than you, a young man like me, and big things still depend on you."
Everyone laughed when he said this.
"That's not okay. We can't charge in the front, and you can drink and eat meat alone in the back?"
"How can this be possible? What I'm talking about is just a problem, and it's just a waste of brains. If you don't adopt it, you don't have to use it."
Han Cheng didn't think he had anything to pay attention to. The war was their concern. When one day he went to the battlefield, all he could do was shoot.
"Well...what you said does make some sense."
"Yeah, I'm just stating a certain possibility. If things go smoothly and this situation doesn't happen, wouldn't it be better?"
Han Cheng took out the bamboo tube from the side and took a sip of water.
"Boy, are you filling the bamboo tube with wine or water?"
"Water?"
"Hey! Why don't you go get some wine? It's natural to eat meat and drink alcohol."
I was stunned to hear all this stuff. It was so obvious. I had never touched wine in my life, so how could I think of drinking?
"The two old comrades really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are when they are not in the family. These baskets of vegetables and steamed bread were all exchanged for game. If you want to exchange for wine, you will inevitably have to hunt another game."
Han Cheng shook his head and said speechlessly.
"I'm just kidding you. How can we really ask for wine, eat your meat and then scold you? We don't know how to behave now. But last time you said that your gun can hit about three hundred meters, I initially
If you still don’t believe it, just with this meal of meat, I have to believe it even if you don’t believe it.”
"That's right. The main reason is that our ten-mile radius is heavily guarded. I have to travel fifteen miles to hunt game. There is no way, who told us that this is an important area, but fortunately, at least there is a village nearby."
Hancheng is actually annoyed that he has to travel so far for hunting.
"That's for sure. If the military target is exposed, you will be guilty of a big crime. Okay, when you are full, I will take the rest with you."
The two old comrades wiped their hands, then tied them with wooden sticks and took away the remaining meat.
"Take it away, this is for you anyway."
"If you have any difficulties, you can just tell us and we can solve it for you."
"Difficulty? It's not difficult. It's not bad. I guess I won't be able to stay in this army any longer. If you two find a good place to go, just transfer me."
The more they care, the less they care. Han Cheng has seen so clearly that he has squeezed himself out like this. Is it possible not to transfer him?
