"Tuanzuo, that man died after his throat bone was crushed with heavy hands. This man was very powerful. Crushing a person's throat bone like this is definitely not something ordinary people can do."
Chen Shusheng reported to Duanwu after investigating the death of the Dafu Hotel clerk.
Duanwu nodded, but didn't say anything because he had to do business first.
Duanwu raised his glass and said: "Brothers, I, Duanwu, am not in good health, so I won't get up. I would like to toast you all first, and I hope that we can all go back having a good time today."
"How dare you, how dare you!"
Sun Tongxuan was the first to stand up and exchange greetings. As soon as Sun Tongxuan stood up, his cronies naturally followed suit. When Han Fuju's best friends saw this, although they were a little reluctant, they still stood up and raised their glasses to the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival drank the wine in the cup, and everyone also drank the wine in the cup.
Duanwu motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said: "General Sun, you did something rude today, why don't you apologize to the generals?"
Sun Tongxuan was actually a little confused and thought to himself: Didn't you ask me to drink some wine to release my military power? Why are you blaming me again now?
But Sun Tongxuan didn't dare to ask, so he could only respond and toast to the officers present with his wine glass.
With Sun Tongxuan's toast, Han Fuju's best friends, who were a little nervous before, also relaxed a lot and began to drink with the people around them.
Duanwu looked at the officers. He was also drinking, but the wine he drank was plain wine. Although the wine has a strong aroma, the alcohol content is too low, just like cold water.
And he kept toasting until the officers in front of him were slightly drunk.
At this time, Duanwu said: "This time, I came from afar. In addition to discussing some tactics with the generals, I also brought greetings from the Chairman. You are all talents of the party and the country, and the Chairman has never forgotten you. "
"Chairman still remembers us?"
A captain of the 22nd Division asked drunkenly. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot. Otherwise, how could he dare to say such a thing?
When the other officers heard this, another brigade commander of the 22nd Division glared at him, while the officer next to him kicked him directly. He was afraid that his words would kill everyone present.
The officer who made the mistake before seemed to have sobered up a bit and quickly shut up.
But at this time, Duanwu smiled and said: "This is natural. The chairman of the committee has been paying attention to Shandong and thinking about you. But he is beyond his reach, so he told me that he has these brothers in Shandong. What you owe me. So this time, let me bring you a little gift."
Bang bang bang!
As soon as Duanwu said this, he clapped his hands, and guards came in holding boxes of red lacquered wood.
The box was not big, only about the size of a palm, and was placed in front of each officer in turn.
Everyone was puzzled, including Sun Tongxuan, because he didn't know about Dragon Boat Festival's plan before. Duanwu only told him to release his military power over a glass of wine, but he didn't know the specific content at all.
So he followed the other officers and opened the wooden box in surprise.
At this time, as soon as a corner of the wooden box was lifted, a golden light shot out from the box, stinging everyone so hard that they couldn't even open their eyes.
After a moment, it became clear that there were actually gold bars inside the wooden box, ranging from five to fifteen gold bars.
After looking at the gold bars, everyone looked at the Dragon Boat Festival. Duanwu said with a smile: "This is just a small gift from the Chairman. I hope brothers don't see it outside, hehehe!"
"Are you trying to bribe us?"
Han Fuju's buddies argued in their hearts that they didn't want it, but the gold bar was indeed tempting.
Although they are all officers, they have not seen the world. But once the action was taken, there was a big scene of just a few gold bars, which they had never seen before.
What's more, every one of them is short of money nowadays. The Japs came, they left their homes, and their taxes were not collected in time. If things go on like this, they will be no better than the Sichuan Army, the Northeast Army, etc.
So they refuse in their hearts, but they are honest in their hands.
Of course, they will inevitably not think in their hearts that if they don't take the chairman's money for nothing, they will still rebel when they go back.
However, at this time, their attitude towards the Dragon Boat Festival softened a lot, and they toasted to the Dragon Boat Festival together: "Thank you, Chairman, and thank you, the Commissioner."
Duanwu smiled and raised his glass and said: "Generals, you are welcome, let us not return until we get drunk today!"
"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
Everyone drank again, and at this time, some officers were shaking at their feet.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Duanwu said: "In addition to these small gifts, the committee also said that the fall of Jinan along the Yellow River was due to Han Fuju's improper command and had nothing to do with everyone here.
Moreover, you fought very bravely, and the Chairman is very pleased. When the battle in Shandong is over, he will personally reward you all. Everyone will be promoted to a higher level and will never break their promise! "
"Promoted to a higher level?"
Many officers' eyes lit up, including Sun Tongxuan's. Because if he is promoted to one level, his position as commander of the Third Army will be secure.
Thinking of this, Sun Tongxuan stood up to toast again, and a group of officers also stood up.
But at this moment, Duanwu picked up his wine glass and said quietly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the chairman of the committee has one more thing to say. Han Fuju colluded with the Japanese and gave up the Yellow River Divine Punishment and Jinan. This is the behavior of a traitor. If he does not kill, it is not enough. The anger of the people! Not killing is not enough to comfort the people! Not killing is not enough to uphold the law of the country!!
Therefore, the committee also hopes that things like Han Fuju will not happen again in Shandong. Otherwise, Han Fuju will serve as a warning to others! "
"Clang!"
Before Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, the wine glass in the hand of one of the 22nd Division officers slipped and fell on the table.
The officer on the side quickly smoothed things over and said, "Captain Wang, are you drunk too much?"
Captain Wang quickly covered his head and shook it.
Duanwu sneered and ignored it, and then said: "You don't need to worry, the chairman of the committee knows everything clearly, and all the blame will be borne by Han Fuju. As for you, as long as you care about the party and the country and fight the Japanese invaders with blood, the chairman will not I have done wrong to you brothers. Let us drink this cup to the full and wish us a complete victory in this war against Japan!"
"Yes, a great victory!"
"A great victory! A great victory!"
At this time, there was no need for Sun Tongxuan to take the lead anymore. Many officers, including those close to Han Fuju, all agreed.
Because it is obvious that Han Fuju will not come back, and Commander Wang Yong was also killed. Are they really allowed to follow the two of them and be buried with him?
And that Duan Wu made it clear that the Chairman only killed one Han Fuju and asked him to bear all the blame. Wasn't it just to excuse more of them?
So what Duanwu said was correct, the chairman was caring about them. Otherwise, they might have died long ago.
What's more, if people leave the tea, even Sun Tongxuan has switched sides, what do they, the little fish and shrimps, mean?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel short of breath. They could only obey Duanwu's orders obediently, go back to reorganize the army, and follow Sun Tongxuan's command! .
