Chatting with others would make you sad at best, but chatting with Xie Tian might end up killing you. Didn't Li Yunlong almost kill himself with a bullet?
Xu Lixin stood up and gave up his seat to Pang Yuan. Pang Yuan sat speechlessly opposite Xie Tian, coughing and asked, "How is the war in Yangquan?"
Pingxingguan has been captured, and now only the besieged Niangziguan and Yangquan are left. If these two places are captured again, half of Shanxi's situation will be determined. If you want to live a down-to-earth life, you can already say that you have peace of mind.
As for the royalties, it's just bullshit. Pang Yuan would not waste that talk with Xie Tian.
For Pang Yuan, the book written by Tang Jingtang is a timely gift that can influence this generation in a short period of time and can be of great help in consolidating rule, implementing government orders, and rallying people's hearts.
Once spread to ten, ten to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, the awakened people will consciously unite around the government to jointly push this ideal world forward.
In Pang Yuan's mind, the impact of this book "Ideal World" is probably no less than that of "Mein Kampf" and "Communist Manifesto". If this book can influence Chongqing and Yan'an, it may create a better world. situation.
When Xie Tian heard Pang Yuan asking about the war, he slapped Pang Yuan and said, "About five days."
Pang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. If we delay it for too long, things may change. The Japanese can't afford it, but the people of Yangquan can't afford it."
Xie Tian nodded. When there was a food crisis in Yangquan City, Miyamoto Jiujiumu would definitely allow the soldiers to snatch food from the people, and the first batch of people to fall would definitely be the people of Yangquan City.
Taking the teacup handed over by Tang Haoer, Pang Yuan looked at Xie Tian with the teacup in his hands and said, "According to General He's report, this time the Allied inspection team is of a very high level, and Joseph Stilwell will also come."
Xie Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "It's good that he's here. I'm afraid the supplies that Chongqing owes us will be available when he comes."
Xu Lixin on the side rolled his eyes speechlessly at Xie Tian.
Joseph Stilwell is a four-star general of the U.S. Army. He is currently the deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Southeast Asia Theater, the chief of staff of the Allied China Theater, and the commander of the U.S. Army in the China-Burma-India Theater. He is an Allied general with a very strategic vision, but he has nothing to do with Chongqing. Chiang disagreed. Chiang asked Roosevelt three times to replace Stilwell. It was not until the third time that Roosevelt agreed to Chiang's request. However, this move caused great repercussions in the United States. The New York Times wrote an article criticizing the government for recalling Stilwell and is supporting it. A 'passive support for a government that is increasingly unpopular and distrusted by the people in China'.
Of course, this has not happened yet, only Thank God knows.
The advantage of a prophet is that he has insight into the future and can make good use of it.
After chatting for a while with Stilwell, also because of Xu Lixin's presence, Xie Tian and Pang Yuan talked about very superficial topics.
Pang Yuan looked at Xie Tian with a smile and said, "I'll tell you good news. The overseas Chinese in Nanyang donated a B17 bomber to us. The overseas Chinese named this aircraft as a donation to you."
Xie Tian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "This is a good thing, but it's just a bit missing."
The B17 bomber, known as the air war fortress, is large, fast and has a long range. The front, back, belly and tail are equipped with machine guns, like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and the back and belly are even more equipped. The 12.7 mm caliber double-barreled machine gun is so powerful that even fighter jets dare not approach easily.
Pang Yuan smiled bitterly: "I knew you would say that. You never think there are too many planes and cannons."
Xie Tian laughed: "That's right, the more of this kind of equipment, the better. As for the aircraft, when will it be delivered to us?"
"General Manager He will bring them over in three days."
Xie Tian stood up with a cry: "These good people let them do what they did. He brought the plane donated to me by the overseas Chinese in Nanyang. I have to express my gratitude to him. Okay, let's go. Brother-in-law, you Don't just hide in Yan Mansion for your leisure time. Go back and ask Director Pang to allocate a piece of land for you, beat the gongs and drums and hang out the sign of your Fuxing Society, so that the people below don't know and arrest you as spies. It's really Yes, we are all a family, we have to deal with those sneaky things."
Xu Lixin stood up helplessly and touched his nose and said, "I will report it to my superiors."
After coming out of Yan Mansion, Pang Yuan got into Xie Tian's car and went straight back to Dayanglou.
He had a lot of things to discuss with Xie Tian. If he didn't go to Yan Mansion in person to urge him, Xie Tian might have to have a meal with Xu Lixin.
Now when every second counts, Pang Yuan doesn't want to waste time.
Returning to Dayang Building, the two of them went directly upstairs to the study. Tang Haoer smiled bitterly and went into the kitchen to knead noodles for Xie Tian to make dumplings.
This man can even fall asleep in the bathtub after taking a bath. I really don’t know when he will be able to relax.
However, Tang Haoer was the one who felt the most among all the people around Xie Tian. She witnessed with her own eyes how Xie Tian built a team from scratch, and also witnessed the entire process of the liberated area from its birth to its growing strength.
Now looking back on the situation when Xie Tian set up a table at the entrance of the silk shop to recruit soldiers and distribute cigarettes to the neighbors, Tang Haoer suspected that it was all a dream.
Tang Hao'er was making dumplings when a soldier standing guard at the gate of the headquarters compound called: "Report to the commander's wife, a lady named Li Chunxiang came outside and wanted to see you. Do you want to see her?"
Tang Haoer said happily: "Please invite her in quickly."
Tang Haoer didn't even have time to wash his hands, he just wiped them on his apron and walked quickly out the door.
On the way to the headquarters compound, Tang Haoer saw Li Chunxiang carrying a small basket from a distance. He happily trotted up to grab Li Chunxiang's hand and giggled: "Sister Chunxiang, why did you think of coming to see me?"
The sentry who escorted Li Chunxiang in saluted Tang Hao'er and turned to leave. Seeing that no one was around, Li Chunxiang twisted Tang Hao'er's face and said fiercely: "Okay, it's so difficult to see you now. The one standing guard at the door I have to call you first, and then escort me in."
Tang Haoer chuckled: "They didn't escort you in, they were clearly escorting you, okay? Sister Chunxiang, you might as well not leave when you come back now. I'll help you build a big restaurant in Taiyuan, and we'll fill it with delicious food." Go to Taiyuan."
Li Chunxiang snorted: "I don't want it. There are so many people on the street, it makes my scalp numb just looking at it. If I open a restaurant here, I will be exhausted."
As she spoke, Li Chunxiang twisted Tang Haoer's little face again, and said with a coy smile: "Little lady, my skin has become tender and tender after not seeing you for many days. Please tell me frankly, does your big bandit need to moisturize you every day?"
Tang Haoer gritted his teeth and pulled Li Chunxiang's hand away, took the basket in her hand, took her arm and walked towards Dayang Building, saying: "Who thinks about those things like you all day long? He has been fighting these days. After a while, I was in Pingxing Lock for a while and Yangquan and then Niangzi Lock. I just came back today."
Li Chunxiang smiled and said, "I know, that's why I specially made his favorite Bazhen roast chicken and sent it over."
Unable to spare his hands to lift the lid of the bamboo basket, Tang Haoer put the basket under his nose, smelled it and chuckled, "No wonder it smells so good. I'm making dumplings for him, please help me."
