71 Prediction of the direction of the war, promotion to colonel

"My prediction is that after the full-scale invasion of the Japanese army begins, most of our coastal territories will be lost within a year.

Within two years, the Central Plains will be lost, and by the third year, it will be the most difficult time in our war of resistance.

At that time, not only the coastal areas would be lost, but also my Central Plains and the provinces south of the Yangtze River might fall.

During this period, we may experience countless tragic defeats.

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers may be sacrificed, and we may see the Japanese raising their butcher knives against our people time and time again.

They will try to shock and scare us with massacres.

Using fear to control is the most common method used by these brutal invaders.

It’s almost the same as when the Eight Banners of the Qing army entered the pass.

But this time, the situation will be more critical.

Because if we lose this time, our nation will be destroyed.”

Ye Qingshan continued speaking with an excited expression.

Because he knew that what he said was not a prediction, but something that was bound to happen.

Ye Qingshan's excitement was not acted, but came from the heart.

This time, the people in the venue were even more excited.

To be honest, Ye Qingshan’s previous words only surprised everyone.

Now, Ye Qingshan's speech predicting the direction of the war completely caused people to explode.

"Ye Qingshan, what is he doing!"

Special Envoy Chen behind him became anxious.

Ye Qingshan's prediction of the direction of the war will only serve to boost the morale of the Japanese and destroy the prestige of our own people!

The purpose of their press conference was to use the opportunity of capturing the Japanese major general alive to boost the morale of the national army and the people.

What Ye Qingshan did was completely contrary to Special Envoy Chen's purpose.

“Don’t worry, sir.

I believe in Senior Ye, he must have a backup plan.

We’ll see.”

Ning Yongchen was sweating profusely when he heard Ye Qingshan's words, but he still tried to appease Special Envoy Chen.

"Hey, this Chinese soldier has quite a bit of vision."

Inside the box, the Japanese envoy smiled and praised Ye Qingshan's prediction of the direction of the war when he heard it.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ye, what do you mean?

Didn’t we say before that the Japanese invaders would definitely be defeated?”

"That is, are you ready to surrender?"

Many people below were irritated by Ye Qingshan's words and couldn't help but yell.

Ye Qingshan didn't care, after all, he hadn't finished his prediction yet.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my prediction yet."

“After all, the Japs were much stronger than us, so it was inevitable that we suffered in the first three years.

Anyone who has been in a fight should know this.

When facing someone who is stronger than you, you will definitely be beaten at the beginning.

If you want to defeat an opponent who is stronger than you, you can only play defensive counterattack.

On the contrary, our war potential is far greater than imagined.

When we mobilize the energy of our 400 million compatriots, that will be the time for us to counterattack.

Starting from the fourth year, I believe the Japanese's war potential will be basically exhausted.

By then, they will basically be unable to fight westward.

At that time, both sides will enter a phase of strategic stalemate.

But this stalemate will not last long, and we will enter the stage of strategic counterattack.

In two years at most, we will be able to drive the Japanese out.

This period of time may be a bit long.

But it wasn’t that long, only about five or six years.

If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see whether my prediction of the direction of the war is correct.

If my prediction is correct, everyone will not need to be depressed or discouraged when seeing the National Army suffer repeated defeats in the early stages.

Difficulties are only temporary and the future is bright.

I also advise those who think that the Japanese will win at this moment, and those who want to become traitors as soon as the Japanese arrive, to think carefully.

We might as well wait and see whether the war develops in the same way as I predicted.

Don't bet on the devils in advance, otherwise when we win, it will be time to settle accounts with you."

"Okay, that's my prediction.

I hope that all reporters can publish in newspapers what I said before and what I predicted later.

Don't take things out of context.

A few years later, when we win the war, I hope to see you all again at the press conference."

After Ye Qingshan finished speaking, he saluted again, then turned around and walked off the stage.

"Baga, this is nonsense, this is complete nonsense."

The Japanese envoy in the box didn't know why his hands were shaking.

He was a little scared.

He was afraid that the war would turn out just as Ye Qingshan predicted.

But the venue was very quiet at this time.

Although Ye Qingshan had finished speaking, his words had caused countless people present to reflect.

There are patriots, there are traitors, and there are some who are still wavering.

Ye Qingshan’s words touched them deeply.

The reason why Ye Qingshan is making a speech today predicting the direction of the war.

It was because Ye Qingshan knew that the Kuomintang army would inevitably suffer a series of disastrous defeats.

It was also because of a series of disastrous defeats suffered by the National Army that many people lost confidence and turned to the Japanese and became traitors.

Ye Qingshan felt that it would be better to leave the people behind and let the national army become gradually confused and lose confidence in the repeated defeats.

If you don't let me do that, you will break through this window paper in advance.

Based on the prediction of the direction of the war, we can give everyone in the country a shot of prevention.

As long as Ye Qingshan’s early predictions were correct.

Even if the national army suffered one disastrous defeat after another, the people would only feel.

It turns out that the direction of the war is really similar to what Ye Qingshan predicted.

In this way, they will also think of Ye Qingshan’s subsequent predictions.

We wouldn't be so discouraged about the prospects of the War of Resistance.

In this way, it can influence some people to some extent and make them persist, instead of becoming discouraged and losing their will, and finally choosing to surrender to the Japanese and become traitors.

To be honest, there were too many traitors during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

So much so that Ye Qingshan was extremely disappointed.

If there had not been so many traitors, victory in the War of Resistance would have been much easier.

Ye Qingshan's words were also intended to take precautions against this.

If Ye Qingshan had made this prediction about the war, the direction of the war would indeed be similar.

Then, those who chose to surrender to the Japanese and work for them must be die-hard traitors.

The best way to deal with these die-hard traitors is to kill them all.

After Ye Qingshan stepped down, Special Envoy Chen looked at him with a complicated look.

He seemed to understand Ye Qingshan's intention.

"I hope it's as you said."

Special Envoy Chen muttered to himself and took out the commendation letter that he had stuffed into his pocket.

Then, he walked slowly onto the stage.

"Senior, you really scared me to death."

Ning Yongchen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered to Ye Qingshan.

“Dear reporters, you should have heard what Lieutenant Colonel Ye just said.

I agree with what Lieutenant Colonel Ye said.

Difficulties are temporary, and the future is bright.”

"Next, I announce the commendation order issued by the Supreme Command to Lieutenant Colonel Ye for his great contribution in this event."

"Promoted Ye Qingshan to the rank of colonel in the National Army and awarded him the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal,

Award the Medal of Loyalty and Bravery to Lieutenant Colonel Sun Mingxu, Major Zhou Xinghai, Captain Wang Dachuan and others under his command..."

Ye Qingshan was also stunned after hearing this.
