Chapter 904 Eating hot pot
In response to Stalin's concession, Li Yunlong in Peiping and Wang Meng at the frontier command post did not pursue it relentlessly. Instead, they sent a telegram to the world via radio, praising Country E's noble character.
According to Wang Meng, Stalin had suffered a "big loss", so it was necessary to give him some empty praise.
In the northwest and northeast directions, China's troops followed Country E's troops at a distance of five kilometers and escorted them out of the country.
Wang Meng also took the opportunity to reach an agreement with Country E to complete the boundary survey within three months!
Ten days later, all the land that had been stolen from China many times by Country E returned to China.
On January 1946, 1, Wang Meng returned to Peiping.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Meng and Lin Shubing gathered in Pingshun, preparing to go to Donglaishun to eat some shabu-shabu.
The snowflakes outside the window fell on the window lattice one by one, accumulating over time and forming a white "hill".
Li Yunlong looked at the boiling copper pot and couldn't help but put his hand on it to keep warm.
"Mengzi, where are Lao Zhao and the soldier? Why haven't they come back yet?"
"Hey, aren't they both off to study the military layout? The equipment shipped back from Japan has been distributed to various military factories. They are trying to confirm whether these things have been damaged or missing any parts, so as to solve the problem as soon as possible."
"Hmm? At this time, the Japs wouldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing, right? If they really do that, I, Old Li, would rather not have Japan!"
Li Yunlong's murderous aura gushed out, causing Wang Meng to look sideways.
Since Li Yunlong became the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, the burden on him has become heavier and heavier, and his original cheerful personality seems to be being worn away bit by bit. He can only relax when chatting and playing cards with his old friends.
"No, not really. You can say the Japanese are bad, but you can't say they are stupid. In the current situation, I'm afraid they have to keep their ideas to themselves even if they have any. Haven't you seen those prisoners of war in the coal mines? Where is the samurai spirit? They behaved in such an ugly way just for a bite of food!"
In Wang Meng's mind, there were countless scenes of betrayal and framing each other. For a bite of food and survival, these self-proclaimed invincible Japanese soldiers were nothing more than mortal flesh and blood.
"Mengzi, don't be merciful to these little devils, think about our fellow villagers who died tragically!
I remember one time when the Japanese raided, we broke through to a small village called Guojiacun. Before entering, we saw from two miles away that the village was deserted and we thought the villagers were fleeing.
We were about to pass through the village, but as soon as we entered the village, we smelled a bloody odor. Our soldiers were cautious and found a temple near the threshing ground. When they pushed it open, they found corpses everywhere.
Wang Meng saw that Li Yunlong's expression seemed to be distorted by fear, so he asked curiously:
"Old Li, you've seen a lot of scenes, big and small. Is this one really scary?"
Li Yunlong widened his eyes, swallowed, and began to recall.
"Do you know how to comb your hair? It's what the Japanese and traitors call combing your hair!"
"Old Li, you're definitely not talking about simply combing your hair with a comb, right?"
"Of course not, they poured boiling water on the Chinese people's heads, and then used an iron rake to comb from the top of their heads downwards, scraping off the hair and scalp together!
Even more cruel is to catch pregnant women and then use a red-hot shovel to stab their genitals.”
As Li Yunlong spoke, he closed his eyes in pain. A round tear rolled down from the corner of his eye and flowed down his wrinkles all over his face.
"Old Li, haven't we heard you say this before?"
"Oh, in the past, I would think about how to fight the Japanese as soon as I opened my eyes. I didn't have time to think about these things. Maybe one day I will meet you in the underworld like our fellow villagers. But even though I don't say it, Old Li remembers it clearly in his heart.
Now that the external situation is temporarily stable and the people are living a good life, I dare to think about those poor folks. "
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he looked at two sparrows standing on the window frame, chirping as if they were calling at him.
Old Li walked over, pinched a small piece of rice grains, spread it on the palm of his hand, pushed open the window, and handed it over.
"Eat, and have a good life."
Wang Meng looked at the sentimental Li Yunlong who seemed to have aged a few years, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Old Li, the past cannot be retrieved. What we can do now is to become stronger and prevent these tragedies from happening to the Chinese people again. This way, even if we are no longer in this position or in this world one day, we can rest in peace."
Wang Meng watched the two sparrows finish eating the rice in Li Yunlong's hand, nodded as if in gratitude, then flapped their wings, circled twice over the roof of the opposite house, and then flew out into the snow.
"Yes, Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's start from scratch in the new year!"
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, Zhao Gang and Lin Shubing pushed open the door, dusted off the snow on their bodies, then took off their coats and handed them to the guard at the door.
"Lao Li, Mengzi, you've been waiting for a long time, right? Come on, shall we start?"
Li Yunlong could no longer hold back and asked the waiter to add some broth. After it started to boil again, he could not wait to pick up the mutton slices, dip them in the boiling soup, coat them with thick sesame sauce, and swallow them in big gulps.
"It feels so good! Come on, brothers, let's have a bite?"
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, four wine glasses filled with Erguotou clinked together.
With this big chopstick of mutton roll as a cushion, Li Yunlong felt much more at ease and his gluttony was temporarily suppressed.
"Old Zhao, what took you so long today? Are those guys in the military industry disobedient again? I'm telling you, don't protect your own people. If you can't save your face and scold them, Old Li will help you vent your anger. Are you going to rebel?"
Zhao Gang has been around for so long, but he is not as straightforward as he was when he first reported to the independent regiment and joined Wang Meng's team. He waved his hand and put his chopsticks aside.
“Well, they all want good equipment and experts to improve production efficiency and develop technology, which is understandable.
However, today, Shubing and I announced to them our next scientific and technological research project, and then allocated equipment, funds, and personnel according to the priority of the project. "
Lin Shubing ate another handful of mutton and continued talking according to what Zhao Gang said.
“咱们现在最要紧的还是101、102和103工程，不过现在新增加了104工程和105工程。”
"Hmm? 104 and 105?"
"Yes, Project 104 is an artificial satellite project. It is about sending a piece of iron into space to conduct reconnaissance for us, give us directions, and help us communicate!"
Li Yunlong seemed to understand.
"Is that equivalent to our clairaudience and clairvoyance?"
"Almost. Project 105 is computer engineering. To put it simply, it imitates the human brain to perform calculations and analysis. In the future, it will even evolve to be almost like a human!"
