.

That day, when the door was pushed open, all the eyes in the venue were all focused there. Walking in the front was a middle-aged man wearing a black Zhongshan suit, with short hair, thick eyebrows under his broad forehead, and a pair of deep eyes and a high nose bridge. Time has not left too many marks on his face. The beard on his lips and chin was shaved, leaving only a green beard. From his appearance, he was not the kind of handsome man, but an ordinary person with an ordinary appearance.

He is about 1.7 meters tall, but in places like Guangxi where the height is generally short, this height is already tall; he is thin, but his shoulders are very wide. In general, if this person was not in the front, if he had not been following the person behind, he had seen many warlords in China, and as a giant crocodile in the political circle, I would not be able to associate this handsome man with the actual helmsman in the southwest.

The meeting venue is very large. Under the background of the huge landscape mural, there is a half-circle single sofa. The man walked straight to the middle sofa and sat down. The person whom I know Li Delin, Yang Guiping, Bai Jiansheng, Huang Zhizhong, Sun Lida and others whom I know also walked to their own positions and sat down. As the person sat in the middle position, there was some commotion in the venue, because this position obviously told everyone that this was the position the protagonist was going to sit today.

The other half of the venue was filled with reporters from various newspapers, student representatives, democratic figures and other participants who passed the review. I sat in the third row of seats. Although this position was not the best, since this half of the area was a stepped-shaped platform, you can clearly see the movements of people sitting in the main area.

"Everyone, I'm honored to invite you here today. I am Huang Zhizhong, the spokesperson of the Southwest Government. I believe everyone knows me. I'm not here to listen to my nonsense today. I believe everyone has guessed that sitting in the middle is Duan Guoxue, the highest executive commander in the southwest. Commander Duan will answer some questions about you, why are they just some questions? Because some questions may involve some secrets, I'll apologize to you first. Now, everyone can ask questions you want to know." After the brief introduction, Huang Zhizhong quickly returned to his sofa.

"Mr. Duan, may I ask you this year?" Although the question raised by the first reporter who seized the opportunity was very low-level, many people present wanted to know the answer, because this person was so mysterious. It was so mysterious that there were too many things that should have been made public, but no one knew it.

"I? I'm 47 years old." His voice was very ordinary, and after turning to the speaker through the microphone, it can be said that the sound was not so good.

"Commander Duan, I am a reporter from the BAIC News. I have lived here for a long time since I was sent to the Southwest in 32 years. Although I have been applying for interviews with you, I have been denied. Why do you have never been willing to accept interviews from the outside world? At the same time, why are you willing to accept interviews from the outside world now?"

"You have been sent to us since 32 years. So, where have you lived in the southwest of us?" He did not answer the question directly, but asked the reporter.

"I have been to Yunnan for several months. I have lived in Guizhou for nearly a year. I have lived in Sichuan for nearly two years. The rest of my time is in Guilin, Liuzhou, Nanning, Guangxi, and Pingguo here now."

"I have been to many places. Since you have been to so many places in our southwest and have lived and worked in these places for so long, I believe you have had a lot of contact with our southwest administrative staff. I wonder if you noticed that our southwest administrative staff have a common characteristic?"

"This... please forgive me for being stupid..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if I don't know. I can tell you very accurately. This common feature is to do more and say less!"

A very smart answer, a very concise answer, a very thought-provoking and thoughtful answer, which was not explained in large and large words, but guided the questioner to go to the *** he was given, and answered the question in just two words and four words.

"Commander Duan, your wisdom impressed me, but you seem to have only answered the question before me. You have not answered the question behind me yet." Although this reporter was "smelled" by him, he was not at all unhappy. I believe that this reporter would write a lot of things from these two words and four words.

"This, there is a saying that an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law. Even if I hide, I can't hide for a while. I will eventually come out and let everyone see who this person is behind the scenes." He smiled softly, his expression seemed a little self-deprecating and a little funny, but his cold and humorous answer made the atmosphere of the venue relax.

"Thank you for your answer."

"You're welcome, please, gentleman." He was very polite, nodded gently to the reporter just now, and signaled to the next one.

"Mr. Duan, how long have you been the commander-in-chief behind the scenes? I have investigated and asked the locals here, some of them even accepted your leadership as early as 1916. You started as a small township leader and a small boss at that time, and now you have become the actual controller of a force. What is your experience and mood?" This question is good. When everyone comes to the headquarters of the Southwest Government of Pingguo County for the first time, they will be shocked by the prosperity here. The huge industrial area, the bustling commercial area, and the energetic crowd of people in other parts of China, everything makes people wonder how this person did this step.

"It's been twenty years, but I only have ten years of being invisible behind the scenes. It can be said that I have experienced many stories in the past twenty years. I can't talk about them in detail here, so I can't waste everyone's time. Regarding this, after the meeting, everyone will get a piece of information, which records the development process and some stories of our Southwest and my personal Xingmin Company. I believe that you will understand it a certain way after reading it. As for my mood, the five flavors of life, the ups and downs of life, all of them." Another answer that is not an answer, I was a little anxious. Now he just clicked the previous questions like a dragonfly.

"Commander Duan, I am a student of Yenching University. I came here on the entrusted by my classmates. After coming here, I was surprised to see that there is a good educational foundation and an excellent university. As a student, I communicated with them. I found that they are more interested in their studies and science and technology. They are not very interested in saving the country and the people, because the quality of their studies and scientific research inventions can allow them to earn more income, but Commander Duan. If the future elites of a nation only pay attention to how much money they can make in their pockets, what is the use of what these students learn? Also, does Commander Duan support dictatorship or democracy?" A sharp question, I don't know why, my heart is accelerating due to nervousness.

"This student, first of all, we need to correct you. There is no so-called university in the southwest. The university you mentioned is actually a higher technical school. To the question you asked, I answered this way: You only saw a part of it. Our schools in the southwest have set up ideological education classes since elementary school. The purpose is to educate our students to love the party, the country, and the people. What we emphasize is not to sing the revolutionary tune with an empty stomach. We pay more attention to solving one of the most serious social contradictions in the southwest... low productivity and the production materials needed for people's lives. Indeed, in your eyes, saving the country and the people is the first responsibility in the hearts of many of you. But the students here are the same, but we pursue different directions, you are the hope.

I hope there is a complete and democratic China to promote the progress of our Chinese society, but we are different. Our students pay more attention to industry, industry, and saving the country as their first responsibility; on this point, I believe my explanation cannot satisfy you, because this question is actually a question of infinite assumptions, is there chickens or existing eggs? Is there democracy or social progress and development first? This question is really not a simple answer, but the answer we can give from the southwest is - no matter what method is given first, as long as we are sincerely concerned about the working people at the bottom and seriously improve the lives of the people, whether it is dictatorship, autocracy, or many parties rotate politics, who can truly care about the people, who

It is correct, and our Southwest government is working hard for such a goal. Finally, everyone needs to have their own value of survival. I don’t know if you have understood and studied the backwardness of Chinese society. Let’s put the political system aside. I personally think that the key point is that since the Ming and Qing dynasties, China no longer respects the respect and recognition that craftsmen who study and explore unknown things should have; pay attention to the powers in the world. They are different from our China. They recognize and respect more and more those craftsmen and scientific and technological scholars who study unknown things and study new things. They use money and status to encourage innovation, encourage people’s lives to make a better life, and inspire people to study and reduce the intensity of labor life, which makes more people

I am angry and angry to pursue the exploration and research of new things; in China, those sour scholars and poets are chasing and enjoying the products of foreign science and technology, but are lying and using strange and lewd words to belittle the innovation and efforts of the working people. I am very angry and angry. The workers are glorious! Because they use their own blood and sweat to not only support themselves but also others; and the pioneers of unknown things are even more glorious! Because they are working hard to open up the space and pressure of survival for us humans! For this reason, I am encouraging and motivating for any invention and creation in our southwest region. This encouragement and motivation is not only spiritual encouragement, but also more realistically rewarding these people who have put their sweat and hard work in unknown fields!!!”

The first time I heard him say so many words, although the student's expression had already told everyone that he was not very satisfied with the answer, this vague answer seemed to be the best answer.

"Commander Duan, I found out that your government is very close to the German government in Europe. Is this true?" The next reporter is raising his own question. Very close? In fact, there is nothing very close, it is nothing more than some bartering cooperation methods."

"Mr. Duan, your army fought with the Japanese some time ago, and not only did it not lose. Instead, it also wiped out all four Japanese divisions. Then I would like to ask you, since you have such strong strength, why did you do nothing in the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Nanjing and allow the Japanese to rage on the land of China?" A democrat asked his own question.

Close his eyes and remained silent for a while, and he opened his red eyes.

"Nanjing, a pillar of shame that was massacred for more than 300,000 people really need to think about it carefully. Before the battle, I sent a regiment to participate in the battle. This is the force I can support the most, for some reasons. Everyone knows the current actual situation in our China. All warlords are in charge of each other and guard against each other. Before that, I asked Delin and Jiansheng to send a military and local force to support, but they were rejected by various reasons. Now many people are accusing me. Since there is such a powerful armed force, they allow the tragedy to happen. But everyone can look at it, not only Nanjing, Xuzhou, but also Jinan in Shandong, Fushun in Northeast China, Zhaojiazhuang in Hebei, etc., all the tragedy committed by the Japanese in our territory. Do these tragedy happen?

He paused at this point. Although he tried to hide himself with drinking water, I could see that there was a flash of light at the corner of his eyes. "Let the suspicion and disagreement in the mainland first. I just want to say that if you want to be saved by others first, you need to save yourself. You don't have a strong desire to survive, and other people's efforts are in vain. We see from a Japanese diary seized. This Japanese soldier and another soldier got separated from the troops. They came outside a county town. They were just planning to walk out of the city to find their own troops, but what they didn't expect was that the people in the entire county town opened the door and came out to surrender.

;The people in a whole county town, with nearly 10,000 men and women, surrendering to the two Japanese soldiers without any effort. Everyone touched their hearts and asked, why should we go to save such people? Moreover, the Japanese army is in full swing now, and some people in occupied areas are afraid of revenge on the Japanese army and even refuse to resist the resistance troops. Some even surrender to the enemy and sell the whereabouts of the resistance troops. Fortunately, they think that the imperial army has become obedient in the eyes of the imperial army. Why should such people be saved? Rescue people without being killed. I will not let my soldiers do such a thing!"

He was a little excited. We all know what he said. In the northern fallen areas, too many such things happened. Some people once described it as the Chinese people--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mr. Duan, I am the representative of the Congress. I came here to ask you this time. Are you still going to obey the instructions of the National Government and jointly carry out the great cause of anti-Japanese war?" A man with a big head combed and his head was shiny and shiny. He stood up and asked.

"National Government? Do you think this civil war master, the National Government, which is fighting against self-destructing the city walls, can I obey their orders? As for the great cause of anti-Japanese war, there is no need to use such a saying to fool everyone. Can't you see that what President Chiang is doing now is not to deliberately differentiate and weaken various resistance forces so that his Central Army can occupy more territory. I don't think I will no longer participate in this kind of anti-Japanese war. I will still feel comfortable fighting against Japan by myself. But here I also tell you that we welcome people of insight to come and fight against Japan with us, instead of taking advantage of some benefits and not working hard."

It was said well, but I was also worried about him. He was just a local warlord. Is his power greater than others? No matter how big it is, it is not as great as the whole of Japan...

"Hello, Mr. Duan, I am a representative from the Social Democratic Party. I would like to ask on behalf of our party how your government views and treats various forces and parties. At the same time, I would like to ask if Mr. Duan is planning to unify the world by force? Or peaceful consultation and unification?"

This man asked the most critical question. As soon as the words fell, everyone calmed down and waited for his answer.

"The first thing we need to do is to fight against Japan, that is, to expel Japanese pirates and restore our mountains and rivers. I said just now that we welcome all sincere anti-Japanese forces to join us in the fight against Japan. We will work with everyone to fight against Japan. Our political party has given a clear reply before - equal exchanges and equal treatment. As for the issue of unifying China raised by this gentleman, we do not have such great ability and strength, and we cannot give you a reply for the time being."

After listening to his answer, I was a little disappointed with him. His answer was not only ambiguous, but also contradictory. I found that I could not see through him. If the various warlords I had seen before and the political giants all had clear ideas or outstanding personality traits. But the person in front of me was incomprehensible at all. If I said such a person, I would think that he was either a mediocre and inaction or a villain with inconsistent behavior. Could he be such a villain?

"Mr. Duan, you are a little escaping from my problem. I have visited many of your factories and I am shocked that your party has built such a huge industrial system in such twenty years. But I want to know that for a political party like you, a local warlord force with such strong industrial and armed strength, I believe many people are very concerned about your policies and policies. This is not just a simple small issue. It is also a big issue that concerns the future survival of other forces and even the future direction of our Chinese nation."

It's so good to ask, indeed. Many people are very concerned about this local faction that suddenly showed such strong strength. What will he do in the future? Will he kill other forces and parties? Or do he and?

He was silent for a long time, and we could all see that he was thinking, so no one disturbed him; I don't know what he was thinking now, I only know from his expression that he was having a fierce ideological struggle.

After a long time, he finally came out of his thoughts.

"Sir, your question is very sharp and critical; indeed. Everyone is shocked by the sudden emergence of our southwest. They are also afraid that we will annex other forces like some forces. This concern is understandable, so everyone can't wait to know the final answer; I just thought for a long time, just thinking about whether our policies will cause unnecessary suspicion and panic. Now I can answer your question, because it seems that if I don't answer this question, many people will not be able to sleep."

After saying this cold and humorous sentence, he chuckled himself, his smile was cheerful, and he also had a hint of naughty and cunning.

"For all democratic parties, I welcome everyone to come to our southwest to live and work, supervise our Southwest government and the members of the Democratic Party, and advise and help our legal system construction. For me personally, whether it is imperial system or autocratic system, it is fine, but the early construction of our southwest has determined the basis of one-party autocracy in the southwest. This status quo has become a fait accompli in the southwest. This fact has initially proved the advantages of one-party autocracy in some aspects in the short term, but no matter what things and systems are, they will become rigid and corrupt after a long period of unchanging. Our Southwest government and our Democratic Party need supervision, an objective and fair supervision from the perspective of people's interests. This supervision will keep our government and party members at a high level of vitality and necessary integrity. This is the legal system construction I hope to use systematic and sound laws to restrict, supervise ourselves and deter the emergence of various crimes."

"This is our attitude towards democrats of various democratic parties. I am ready to gradually open the judicial trial department to other democrats. Of course, this is an attempt. I cannot be sure that doing so is right, but now there is nothing that can prove that doing so is wrong. Everything, we are moving forward in exploring. As for the armed forces of all parties..."

He paused, I didn't know whether he was trying to sort out his thoughts or to have dry mouth. His saliva brought the hearts of many people to the highest point.

"As for the armed forces of all parties, we can now work together to fight the Japanese, but in the future, this armed forces will be eliminated. A country only needs one army. What this army is loyal to and defending is not a certain political party, but a loyalty to this country and defending this country. Only in this way can our country not fall into another division and turmoil. Therefore, after expelling Japan, other armed forces have become opponents of our Southwest government. We warmly welcome them to the point where they put down their weapons and accept reorganization. We will eliminate them without hesitation and mercy without hesitation!"

After that, many people asked many questions, but most of them did not ask questions that interest me. I kept thinking about his words just now. After he finished that passage, many people's expressions were disdain, contempt, shock, nervousness, joy and excitement. I don't know why he could say such words so passionately, but I vaguely felt in my heart that what he could do was better than anyone I had seen before.

The above are my memories of Duan Guoxue when he first met, as well as some opinions and thoughts about him.
Chapter completed!
