The rebirth of the Republic of China

After receiving the appointment of him as the commander-in-chief of the No.11 Army, Lu Yihua was not in a hurry to go to Kunming. After going to the Huangshan official residence to say goodbye as a routine, he took the time to go to Xi'an.

Those incidents were so violent a few days ago that after Hu Shoushan left Chongqing, many people still complained about it.Besides, the supreme commander at that time was too obvious about protecting Hu Shoushan, and he was too eager to deal with Wei Lihuang, the commander-in-chief of the first theater. He didn't even have time to discuss with the military leaders in Chongqing. Wei Lihuang's military post was suspended without authorization, which led to the joke that Wei Lihuang refused to take up his post and went home to farm.

Therefore, the impeachment of Hu Shoushan here in Chongqing is very serious.

During the several banquets he attended, Lu Yihua even found that even the so-called direct descendant generals began to show dissatisfaction with Hu Shoushan.

The problem of factions in the Kuomintang has always been serious, and it is very common to fight against each other. However, as it is now, it cannot be said that it has never happened before, but it is absolutely rare.

Back then in Whampoa, Lu Yihua was the youngest among his classmates, who were generally seven or eight years older than him. Although he was known as a proud student, there were still many "big brothers" who disliked him in the early days. These situations will gradually disappear when you really stand firm.

These are unavoidable, soldiers will inevitably look down on children, according to Lu Yihua's personality, he will not care about these, but not caring does not mean that he is not grateful, for those who defended him in that situation, Lu Yihua has always Remember.

Back then he was able to help Li Zhilong escape under the eyes of the secret agents, but now he will not sit and watch Hu Shoushan go further and further on the road of no return that is opposite to the revolution.Even though Lu Yihua knew in his heart that the current Hu Shoushan might not take what he said to heart at all, but whether he listened to it was one thing, but whether he wanted to say it himself was another.

"Shoushan, when Mr. Cheng Song left his post and returned to Chongqing, now he is the deputy chief of staff and an important person in the military. The impeachment of him and Minister He and others, even if the principal protects you, you will be fine, but what do you think? Have you ever been here, what future do you have if you stay here all the time? Now that the anti-Japanese sentiment of the whole people is high, and you control hundreds of thousands of troops here without sending a single soldier, what will outsiders think of you?"

Hu Shoushan did not answer, but walked back and forth in the study with a sullen face. He looked down at the ground and rubbed his hands together from time to time, as if contradictory. He started to look at Lu Yihua, and said, "The principal has given me very important instructions."

Lu Yihua understood this in his heart, but he still showed a surprised expression and asked, "What instruction?"

Hu Shoushan hesitated, did not answer him directly, but walked forward a few steps, took the tea on the table and drank it, and then said with emotion: "Jing An, you are now a lieutenant general in the army, and you are among the classmates in Huangpu. He is also an outstanding person, and he is no longer the kid he was back then."

Lu Yihua didn't quite understand why he said this, so he just smiled and said: "There were almost no people who had a bad relationship with me back then, but they all kept a distance. After so many years, I didn’t understand that they were able to talk with me, but now that I think about it, it’s fate.”

"Zaitian." Hu Shoushan was in a daze for a moment, the two of them didn't have much contact back then.

In Tian is the word, his full name is Li Zhilong.He was admitted to Whampoa at the same time as the two of them, and developed very well thereafter. After graduation, he entered the navy. He was awarded the title of rear admiral at the age of 28, and was promoted to vice admiral in the second year. He was also the captain of the Zhongshan ship. The Communist Party's highest-ranking general in the Revolutionary Army.

However, the July 16 Revolution failed, and Li Zhilong moved from Wuhan to Guangzhou to engage in naval military operations as a Hong Kong businessman.Not long after, Li Zhilong's identity was exposed and he was forced to travel east to Japan. ①One year later, Li Zhilong sneaked back to Guangzhou from Japan via Hong Kong, and was discovered by Kuomintang agents on the way.Lu Yihua, who was on a business trip at the time, happened to meet him, rescued him from the siege of the spies, and sent him to Guangzhou.It's just that this matter was exposed in the end, Lu Yihua was severely reprimanded, and Li Zhilong died in Huanghuagang later at the age of 31.

Hu Shoushan felt a little emotional: "In the situation back then, if you went ahead regardless, it would be considered light for the principal to just reprimand you."

The topic is a bit off topic here, and Lu Yihua can also see that Hu Shoushan doesn't want to talk about those things just now.But Lu Yihua came here for that purpose, so naturally he had to ask.After thinking for a while, he still asked: "Shoushan, let's not mention what happened back then. Now I want to know what you think. The war of resistance is the general trend. Do you really plan to watch the war with Chen Bingxi?"

"Where can I be if I'm not here?" Regarding Lu Yihua's words, Hu Shoushan was silent for a while, and then asked back.

"The Communist Party can't hit here, relying on your troops—"

"It's absolutely possible to go to the War of Resistance, right?" Hu Shoushan interrupted Lu Yihua, looked at Lu Yihua for a while, he sneered, and then found a place to sit, "Jing An, you should have guessed that the 34th Army will develop into what it is now. Is there a reason?"

"It's for the Communist Party."

"Then why do you think I can decide where the Army Group goes?" Hu Shoushan laughed at himself, "I can command the 34th Army Group, not only that, but I can also command most of the troops in the First and Eighth Theaters, but So what? Now I can sit in this seat, but if I don't listen to the order, someone else will be able to replace me."

Perhaps because he had already spoken, Hu Shoushan felt much more at ease, and his initial hesitation disappeared. He continued: "Besides, apart from this, I do agree with the Chairman. You all think that the War of Resistance is imminent, but if now If the development of the Communist Party is not curbed, the post-war period may be a disaster.”

Lu Yihua disagreed with him, but he already understood that it was impossible for him to change Hu Shoushan's opinion. The purpose of his coming here today was to persuade Hu Shoushan. He couldn't bear to see him go further and further on this road of no return, but there was hope The meaning of being able to use the power in your hand to fight against the war.This country is his motherland, but it has been suffering for many years. As a soldier, peace is his greatest hope.

"Jingan, there is an old saying in our country, 'Whoever works hard for whomever is busy', we have fought with the Japanese for more than a year, the sacrifice of the central army is so great, everyone is indignant at this sacrifice, but the Communist Party They are taking advantage of this opportunity to develop themselves, expand their power, and strengthen their military power." At this point, Hu Shoushan paused, and said earnestly, "Jing An, I know you have always advocated the alliance with the Communist Party to resist Japan, but that depends on the situation. This kind of thinking is too naive, the two parties have always been at odds, and will never get along in the future, if we let them go now, they will not let us go in the future."

Hu Shoushan knew Lu Yihua's character well. After what happened to Qu Qiubai, he predicted to his secretary-general that Lu Yihua would follow the order to arrest Qu Qiubai, but before the verdict came down, he would definitely go to the chairman of the committee to intercede. As expected, what happened was almost the same as what he had guessed, and his secretary-general at the time was very surprised by this.

Even if Lu Yihua had such an attitude, Hu Shoushan would not suspect that he had connections with that side.Although Lu Yihua did not participate in many anti-communist incidents, there were definitely many. Among the communists who died at his hands, some were their classmates in Huangpu.Except for Li Zhilong in the past, Lu Yihua has never been soft when carrying out orders.

Therefore, Hu Shoushan never doubted Lu Yihua, he just felt that his character was a bit procrastinated and he didn't understand the current situation clearly.

Lu Yihua asked: "Then what do you want to do?"

"Of course it is to accumulate strength, and their development must be restricted!" Hu Shoushan's tone was unquestionable, and he said firmly, "They are developing too fast now, and they are not limited to most areas of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Su There are people from them in North and other places. Their political infiltration is too strong, and most of our government officials are not trustworthy. If military control is lifted in the future and the power of government departments increases, it will be a disaster! If this continues, we will not be Died by Japanese imperialism, but by the Communist Party!"

Lu Yihua felt deeply powerless in an instant. At this moment, he even thought a little discouraged that he could blame his principal for being so fond of Shoushan. Shoushan is the only one who has carried out the spirit and even the general strategy and policies so thoroughly.

However, this trip was not in vain, at least Lu Yihua was sure that in the future, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Hu Shoushan's hands would never go to the battlefield.They estimated that they would stay in the northwest all the time, and then as soon as the War of Resistance was over, they would immediately march eastward to attack the Communist army.

As for whether the Communist troops will be wiped out after the war as these people expected, or whether they will be dragged to death by the Communist Party, then it is unknown.

After coming out of Hu Shoushan's mansion so that he didn't have to see him off, Lu Yihua left by car.As the line of sight swept across the rearview mirror, No. [-] Dongcang Lane became more and more blurred, and then disappeared after the car turned a corner.

Withdrawing his messy thoughts, Lu Yihua sighed. If there were no accidents, this would probably be the last time he and Hu Shoushan would meet.

Over the past few years, many memories of my previous life have gradually blurred.

Sometimes, Lu Yihua even had the illusion that that death was just a dream.He thought about it carefully. In his previous life, after Liu Sheng persuaded him to surrender, he seemed to have heard some news about Hu Shoushan.

At that time, Yichuan, an important place in Guanzhong, was heavily surrounded by Communist troops. Hu Shoushan ordered the No.20 Ninth Army to go for reinforcements, but was attacked on Wazi Street. The No.20 Ninth Army was completely destroyed. Hu Shoushan went to Nanjing to plead guilty , was dismissed and retained.

Looking sideways at the scene of flying past outside the window, Lu Yihua was not very interested, and the carriage was very quiet.

In order to be able to get along alone on the road, when getting in the car, the driver was driven by Lu Yihua to the next car, and there was only him and Liu Sheng driving in this car.Driving the car, Liu Sheng freed up one hand to hold Lu Yihua's hand: "No matter what Commander Hu does, at least you persuaded him."

Lu Yihua sighed: "I just think that although our thoughts were different at the beginning, our goals were probably the same. At that time, no one thought that it would become what it is now in just a short ten years."

Liu Sheng had never been to Whampoa, so he really couldn't persuade him about this matter. He could only change the subject and asked, "Now that the factions in the party are fighting each other seriously, has Commander Hu never thought about it? In addition, the chairman's favor and trust in him has long made people jealous, and he will definitely be squeezed out by other factions in the future, so how will he develop?

In addition to the Hu faction, there are currently three factions among the Huangpu generals in the Kuomintang, namely, Tang Enbo's faction, Chen Cheng's civil engineering faction, and Du Yuming's Fifth Army faction.Although these factions are still restrained, the battles between them are already very fierce.

"For the chairman, he was able to look after the tens of thousands of people in his hands during the War of Resistance, which is probably the greatest credit!"

"What?" Liu Sheng didn't react for a moment.

Lu Yihua shook his head and didn't answer. He just changed his posture to feel more comfortable, and then said, "I'll take a break. If you call me after a while, I'll take a rest for you."

Liu Sheng nodded, and while no one was on the road, he glanced at the back seat, and said to Lu Yihua who was sitting next to him, "There is a blanket on the back seat. It's too cold, so you should cover it."
