Duanwu knew that his acting was so fake, the Chairman and Secretary-General Yang would definitely be able to tell.
This is also one of his plans. When it comes to acting, sometimes it has to be true, but sometimes it has to be false.
Because you can just imagine, who is the Chairman? That's a very smart person.
Even if you deceive him for a while, you will never be able to deceive him forever. What's more, so many people saw him in Song Zheyuan's office yesterday. His state at that time was very different from now.
So even if Dragon Boat Festival deceived the chairman of the committee at that time, it would not take until the next day for the chairman of the committee to know what was going on. And by then, the impression of the Dragon Boat Festival in the chairman's mind will be greatly reduced.
Because how can a smart person like to be deceived by others?
But if it was the Chairman who saw it himself, that would be a different story. Because everyone knows that Duanwu is a smart person, a monkey cub who is even shrewd than a monkey with hair on his head.
So you can just imagine at this time, if the chairman of the committee saw through Dragon Boat Festival's little trick on the spot, what would the chairman's mood be like?
But at this time, Secretary-General Yang came to Dragon Boat Festival not because of the Chairman. The Chairman is currently taking a shower and having an impromptu meeting with the generals and commanders. And what about those generals and commanders? Now waiting in the conference room.
Therefore, at this time, the Chairman did not have time to receive the Dragon Boat Festival. Only Mrs. Merlin had this time.
When Mrs. Meilin came to see Duan Wu, she naturally didn't just talk about common things. She wanted to persuade Duan Wu to go to Chongqing and ask about Tang Jiujiu's situation. After all, Tang Jiujiu was not picked up at the airport this time.
In addition, Tang Jiujiu was in danger before, and as an aunt, she was really worried.
Of course, she was also worried about Duan Wu's injuries, and was thinking of asking the guards to hire a better doctor to diagnose and treat Duan Wu.
At this moment, Duanwu was pushed in by Lao Abacus, followed by Secretary-General Yang. As for Chen Shusheng and the Dragon Boat Festival guards, they could only stay outside the Yuan Family Garden.
At this time, seeing Duan Wu sitting in a wheelchair, Mrs. Merlin said distressedly: "My child, how are you injured?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "They are all minor injuries. There were a few cuts on the body, but no internal organs were hurt."
Mrs. Meilin sighed and asked: "What do you want, kid? Many people spend money to gain connections and want to be transferred back to Chongqing. That's you. You will infiltrate wherever there is danger."
Duanwu said with a smile: "I am just sharing the old man's worries. If we don't fight the Japanese, what will happen to this little devil when he arrives in Chongqing? We have almost lost half of China's great country. You said, the little devil is just a small place. , but bullied our country, China, into this state, can you bear to swallow this?"
Mrs. Merlin sighed and said: "Yes, half of this great land has been taken over by the little devils. I don't know what the party and the country have raised so many soldiers. What do they do for food? Your uncle always gets excited when he sees the battle reports from the front." He sighs, and I feel very anxious looking at him!”
Duanwu said sternly at this time: "Don't worry, the little devil can't run around for a few days. As long as we continue to consume the little devil's troops, within three years, the little devil will withdraw due to depletion of troops."
Mrs. Merlin said happily: "My child, my aunt is really happy after hearing what you said. By the way, how is Jiujiu?"
Duanwu replied: "Everything is fine. I want her to go back to the rear. You also know that the army is full of men. It is really inconvenient for her to stay there."
Mrs. Merlin sighed again: "If you don't go back, how can she go back? This girl is also very stubborn, and she has never liked anyone in her whole life. There are not many rich men and young officers who are chasing her. . But she doesn’t like any of them.”
Duanwu giggled and said, "There's no way around it. It's all because I'm too good."
"hehe!"
Mrs. Merlin was amused by Dragon Boat Festival and thought that this child was not modest at all.
At this moment, a guard brought a fruit plate and dried fruits. Mrs. Merlin brought an apple to Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival did not eat it, but carefully picked up the apple.
Mrs. Merlin said in surprise: "Why don't you eat?"
Duanwu smiled naively: "Take it back and give it to Jiujiu. The front line is no better than the rear. The soldiers are in danger, let alone eat the fruit."
Mrs. Merlin's defense was broken at once, and she almost burst into tears. He said to Duanwu: "Tell me quickly, what does this frontline look like?"
Dragon Boat Festival explained the current situation to Mrs. Merlin in detail. It is said that the Independent Regiment was not short of food originally, but the 125th Division of the Sichuan Army was stationed in Bengbu to support the battle in Huainan.
The 125th Division was very poor, and its weapons and equipment were all Japanese-style equipment that he barely equipped. However, the 125th Division had no food and salary at all, and the independent regiment was entirely responsible for the relief.
But how much military rations can the Independent Regiment have to feed more than 10,000 people? So this army ration will soon be exhausted.
He had no choice but to pay for food from the Eighth Route Army.
Duan Wu and Mrs. Meilin said: "The old man always said that I am close to the underground party, but is it okay if we are not close? The soldiers on the front line need money but not money, guns but not guns, and food but not food.
My independent regiment is a direct line unit of the 88th Division. Now we are all short of clothes, weapons and ammunition, let alone local troops. "
Mrs. Merlin frowned when she heard this, but although she heard what Duanwu said made sense, she lowered her voice and said:
"Son, I understand your difficulties, but what your uncle hates the most is the underground party. You should draw a clear line with them! As for the difficulties on the front line, I will find an opportunity to tell your uncle again and ask him to help you immediately. If you bring weapons and supplies, I will let him find a way.
However, I still say that you'd better go back to the rear. Isn't there Li Zhongren in Xuzhou? Your uncle still thinks highly of this person. "
Duanwu smiled at this time: "Old Li? He is somewhat capable, but fighting is still too traditional. Compared with me, he lacks courage and flexibility. So for Old Li to fight this battle, basically No chance.
Fortunately, this old Li has a strong sense of the overall situation. At least when I was fighting in Huainan, this old Li helped a lot. "
At this point, Duanwu rolled his eyes and continued: "Auntie, that old Han is unjust. In order to get him weapons and equipment, I took the risk of attacking Chuzhou and got a whole artillery regiment for him. But this old man Han, after receiving the artillery, simply threw Jinan and ran away. Otherwise, Jiujiu would not be in danger.
Auntie, you don’t know, it was really critical at that time, I almost lost my sight of Jiujiu. Now that I think about it, I’m scared! "
Dragon Boat Festival's expression changed even as he spoke, with the word 'regret' written all over his face.
When Mrs. Merlin heard this, she suddenly became angry. Because she was most worried about Tang Jiujiu, how could she suppress her anger at this time?
He said angrily: "Who is that old Han? How dare you go to the enemy camp to grab equipment for him? And he dared to abandon the city and flee? Isn't this a deserter? I think he should be punished Take him out and shoot him!"
