Part 5 Chapter 61 The Decisive Battle

When the Sino-Russian War was fierce, although the battles were winning continuously on the battlefield, Chen Congyun met with the words of the representatives of the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and at the same time, the news came to the newspaper and the content of the note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although the successive victory in the Russian battlefield made the Chinese people more confident, the fear of foreigners accumulated over the late Qing Dynasty was very similar to the fact that they were frozen three feet away, and they could not be changed overnight. Not to mention that China is fighting with Russia at the moment, so most of the Chinese people thought that it was impossible to make too many enemies at this time.

When reporting on the incident, major newspapers expressed a cautious attitude, and the comments they had thought about repeatedly emphasized restraint. Only the Central Daily News jumped out and clearly stated that overseas Chinese are in line with the motherland and are descendants of Yan and Huang. If they can't even protect them, how can the country be faced? How can they talk about the style of a strong country? This is a bit of a shameless suspicion.

It is true that some visionary people naturally would not look at what Chen Congyun said when meeting with overseas Chinese.

When the three ministers of the United States, Britain and Germany talked privately at a cocktail party, Rou Keyi expressed concern and said: "Chen Congyun has seen the result of the victory of China and Russia, and can't wait to extend his hand to the Pacific Ocean."

German Minister Hai Jing didn't take this incident at all. Although Germany occupied several islands in the Pacific Ocean, Germany's fundamental interests were in Europe. The focus of the current focus was on the struggle between Europe and France and Russia. The Americans' concerns made him worry.

So Hai Jing shrugged and said, "Mr. Chen Congyun has always been my most respected leader. I can fully understand his concern for overseas Chinese. As for the statement that stretches his hands to the Pacific Ocean, will it be that you are too careful?"

The British minister sucked his pipe hard and said, "Although Mr. Chen Congyun has always been tough in foreign policy, he is very fond of friendship with various countries. It is understandable to protect overseas Chinese as China's rights, and it is understandable to make a tough statement."

The interests of the British seem to be far away from the Pacific Ocean. As long as China does not drive its fleet into the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the British will not care about those.

In fact, deep down in the hearts of the Three Kingdoms ministers, I am afraid that they will ask a question: What exactly does Chen Congyun want to do? What does he want to get from this matter? The only thing that is certain is that the Chinese government brazenly launched a war against Russia in order to establish its status as a world military power, which is well known.

It's as simple as a note, it's fine. Three days later, the Central Daily News published an even more shocking exclusive news. The twenty warships of the South China Sea Fleet, led by the fleet commander Li Zhun, will be headed to inspect the South China Sea islands, and will reach Zeng Mu's Ancient Sand.

The news was said to send a fleet to assist the Netherlands in stabilizing the situation in Indonesia, and then followed the fleet on a patrol. The news immediately caused an uproar. Even a German minister, Hai Jing, couldn't help but find Chen Congyun's presidential residence and find out if Chen Congyun planned to come true. Don't really have a fight with the Dutch again at the most critical moment of the Sino-Russian War.

Not only the ministers of various countries, but also the officials of Chen Congyun were nervous. On this turbulent time, it was really unwise to cause trouble. Tang Shaoyi, Zhang Jian and others also came to Chen Congyun's official residence one after another, hoping to find out a Zi Chou and Yin Mao.

In the midst of chaos, Chen Congyun was not in the official residence. When everyone asked around, Chen Congyun had the intention to take a walk to Badaling early in the morning.

The Great Wall winds among the mountains. From a distance, it looks like a giant dragon rolling in the clouds. Chen Congyun stands on the dilapidated city wall, allowing the mountain wind to blow his hair away.

"I am not a hero if I can't do the Great Wall! The Great Wall is now dilapidated." Chen Congyun sighed with his hand holding the broken battlement.

Liu Ting smiled at the side and said, "What? The master's poetic nature is revealed? He was both poetic and lyrics in Zhennanguan. I read it myself. At that time, I felt that he had a momentum, but the rhythm was a little worse."

Chen Congyun's face turned slightly red, she smiled faintly, and quickly changed the topic: "Look at how majestic the Great Wall is? All dynasties have been leaned as a barrier in the north. Unfortunately, history has clearly told us that no matter how tall the city wall is, it is difficult to stop the northern ethnic minorities from moving south. Do you know the reason?"

Liu Ting said: "I hope to hear the details!"

Chen Congyun said: "Although the Great Wall is dangerous, its original intention is to start from the perspective of strategic defense. There is no fortress in the world that cannot be defeated!"

Liu Ting said: "Do you want to tell me that the policy you have determined for the country starts from the perspective of strategic offensive?" Obviously, Liu Ting's words somewhat expressed some of Chen Congyun's ideas.

Chen Congyun smiled and said, "It's not entirely true!" He lit a little, and did not say it in detail. Liu Ting was tactful and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master, the South China Sea Fleet's inspection of the South China Sea islands. As a record of the "Central Daily", do I have the right to interview you?"

Liu Ting's question is just right, but if she agrees to the interview, the next question will be much more sensitive. If she doesn't agree, hum! The girl's follow-up methods are always a little bit.

Chen Congyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Nanyang is rich in high-quality rubber, tin ore and other strategic materials, and the producers of these materials are mainly overseas Chinese in our country. From the perspective of interests, the country must come forward to protect them. From the perspective of a country's dignity, overseas Chinese are humiliated and the country's face is not shining, right? Another thing, I am very worried about one thing, the sovereignty of the South China Sea islands in the next fifty or a hundred years later. Don't you see that the countries in the South China Sea are still colonies of the great powers, these grandchildren are not good birds. If I don't do anything, I will first determine the territory. In the future, people will rely on the distance, and they will not be ruthless when reaching out."

Liu Ting understood the first two points, but Liu Ting didn't quite understand the second point. "What is the sovereignty issue of the Nanyang Islands in 5100 years?"

Chen Congyun smiled faintly, without explanation, nor could he explain clearly. He couldn't tell Liu Ting that after World War II, the world pattern had undergone tremendous changes, and the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America set off a wave of national independence? After independence, these guys who remember not to remember to eat were all snobbish. Seeing the good temper of the Chinese government, they knew to protest this and that all day long. For those islands far away from China, you occupy one and I will take one, and I will not leave.

Chen Congyun didn't have such a good temper, so he sent the fleet out now. No matter if he was scattered, it was mine, so he would take it first. He would insert the national flag on the island and erect a monument. If he didn't take action while these grandsons were still other people's slaves, when would he wait? Besides, this was an era of prey on the weak, but if he entered the island, he wouldn't think of going out after he got into his pocket.

Liu Ting naturally couldn't imagine the thought deep in Chen Congyun's heart. Since Chen Congyun had no explanation, she would not ask.

After coming down from Badaling, Chen Congyun saw the bustling scene in the yard of the official residence, but just smiled at Liu Ting. He left a sentence, "The spokesperson of the Presidential Residence will hold a press conference tomorrow. Everyone will understand what they have." After that, Chen Congyun went back to his room to rest. Not to mention foreign ministers, even Tang Shaoyi and the others were invited out.

At the press conference the next day, the most question the reporters asked was naturally whether China would send troops to Indonesia. The answer was, "The South China Sea Fleet patrol was just a normal patrol by the fleet in China's territorial waters, and it definitely had no intention of targeting any country." This answer was undoubtedly very far-fetched, but when the reporters asked again, there was only one sentence that could not be told.

This incident is somewhat thunderous and light rainy. After making a fuss, it seems that it has calmed down. Other countries can't find any fault with the actions of the South China Sea Fleet. It's a sin to say that my fleet will go to see if there are grass on its islands, right? Besides, the warships sent by the South China Sea Fleet are all below 2,000 tons. The real big guys are wandering around the Bohai Bay and the Japanese waters. I really want to print Nigeria, so I will only send some little guys? When did the Dutch become so easy to bully?

Everything gradually returned to its original appearance, and the changes happened. The overseas Chinese in the South China countries were raised when they walked. The indigenous people in Indonesia became a little more honest. For these indigenous people, the formation of twenty warships was too luxurious. At that time, there were only a thousand Dutch people, but they killed a bloody river in Indonesia. Didn’t you see that the Dutch are much more polite to the overseas Chinese now? The patrolmen on the street didn’t make things difficult for the overseas Chinese. If you really want to say what benefits Chen Congyun got from this matter, that is, the overseas Chinese in various parts of Southeast Asia set off a wave of donating money and materials to the domestic war against Russia.

However, the consequences of this wave really surprised many people. In just half a year, overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia actually donated 50 million silver dollars, which is really a terrifying data. These are all later stories, so let's not mention them for now.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Walking on the way to the command center, Chen Yiyang felt a very awkward feeling deep in his heart. He didn't say anything else when he pointed at him, and his eyes were also abnormal.

The tactical concept proposed by Chen Yiyang was undoubtedly recognized by Aftershock and others. Especially after the conquering Lushun, the idea of ​​striving to solve the problem once and for all in the Jilin Battle has already formed in the minds of Aftershock and others. It is just that how to fight this battle, Keze brought Chen Yiyang's arrival to help Aftershock and others make up their minds.

Chinese people seem to have this problem. The superiors often throw a word down and say it is not light or heavy, and they will include multiple meanings. Chen Congyun is actually just appreciating Chen Yiyang's talents, hoping that he can train at the grassroots level and lay a solid foundation for future growth. He does not have the intention of taking special care of Chen Yiyang.

Chen Congyun has read the story of "Three Levels of Promotion", but unfortunately he didn't remember this story, so he made a big mistake. After Chen Yiyang came to Jilin, he followed Ke Ze and did not say anything about food and accommodation. Others were very careful when talking in front of him, for fear of offending the president's "relatives". In modern terms, he was the princeling party. In the minds of everyone, Chen Yiyang came down to gilt and would soon return to Chen Congyun, so he was sure that he was right. Some people who were good at ease would occasionally get close to each other. When encountering such a situation, Chen Yiyang was more amused and crying.

As the person involved, Chen Yiyang naturally felt uneasy about this "special" treatment deep in his heart. After all, before entering the presidential attendant's room, he really had nothing to do with Shen Congyun.

Chen Yiyang, who was arrogant and arrogant, knew in his heart that he was not Chen Congyun's relative, nor was it as simple as going back and going back. He had to go to the battlefield when he came. A good man was on this troublesome time in the country. If he didn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, what kind of man is he?

When he walked into the command post, Keze was discussing something with Aftershock and the others. Seeing Chen Yiyang coming, Keze smiled. For this young man Chen Congyun was optimistic about, Keze also admired his bold and keen ideas very much.

Aftershock saw Chen Yiyang coming and walked up to him and said with a smile: "Chen Yiyang, you are here just in time. We are discussing that you will go back to Beijing and bring a new combat plan and present it to the President."

Chen Yiyang saluted the superiors and said, "Why am I going back?"

Aftershock said: "You proposed this tactic. Wouldn't it be right to send you back and explain it to the President?"

Chen Yiyang whispered: "My sirs, since the tactics were proposed by his subordinates, he asked to be an executor. Today, he came to take the initiative to volunteer to bring a small team that infiltrates the enemy's back and go to contact the team that insists on guerrilla warfare behind the enemy, and convey the tactical intentions of the military region and organize them to cooperate with the entire battle. I think the military region is short of such a person now, right?"

Chen Yiyang's words were considered to be about Aftershock and others' hearts. Although there are many troops who insist on guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, they are now scattered everywhere because these troops do not have radio stations, so it is quite difficult to organize them. It is indeed necessary to do these things alone.

The military district and others represented by aftershocks showed questioning gazes on their faces, while Keze smiled and nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval.

Aftershock said: "Are you sure you want to go? This trip is very dangerous, you have to pass through the enemy's defense zone."

Chen Yiyang heard their doubts and strengthened his determination to go deeper behind enemy lines. After coming to the military region, don’t everyone regard themselves as someone who can go back after a while?

"My sirs, my subordinates have decided, please give an order."

Chen Yiyang answered very simply, and Keze added a boost in the fire, "When he was about to set off, the President asked him if he wanted to go to the front line. This plan was proposed by him and he would implement it. I think it was the best candidate."

With Keze's words, this matter was quickly confirmed. Chen Yiyang was promoted to the major staff officer for exception, leading a company of troops, and brought three radio stations to infiltrate the enemy's rear in advance to contact the guerrilla armed forces left by the local area.

Without further ado, the Russian military positions were lively for another night that night. The Chinese army launched a full-scale harassment operation. Some areas also used troops of regiment or above to launch an attack and captured several Russian outpost positions.

Looking at the war soaring into the sky and listening to the endless sound of gunfire, Chen Yiyang held his breath in the dark, feeling a little nervous, and looked back from time to time to look at the company commander leading the team beside him.

"It's time to go!" The company commander who led the team shouted in a low voice. The soldiers quietly stood up from the ground and half-squatted to touch the weak points of the Russian army's defense line. These days, harassment by the Chinese army has become commonplace. The Russian army honestly hid in trenches and bunkers, and even killed people and was attacked by mortars.

Chen Yiyang didn't know how many troops infiltrated the enemy's back that night, but he only knew that he had inexplicably promoted three levels. The title given by the military region was "Chief of Staff of the Travels Corps behind the Enemy". The task assigned was to contact as many troops as possible when they arrived behind the enemy, gather everyone, and then wait for the next instructions from the military region.

Chen Yiyang knew very well that after putting together these enemy-behind guerrillas, he would definitely find someone to take the lead. Chen Yiyang now had a piece of information about the range of activities of the troops behind enemy lines and the person in charge. The team also led the guide to the lead. After crossing the Russian defense line, the first stop was to find a rear-behind enemy armed force led by a captain named Yang Zhi.

Chen Yiyang followed the team and kept running forward in the darkness. The team was very quiet, and only the company commander whispered from time to time: "Follow up, keep up."

………………………………………………

Yang Zhi has lived a very comfortable life recently. Although he was the King of Mountains, he has made a lot of money after two consecutive ambushes. He only got tens of thousands of bullets, and he also got a lot of food and drinks.

The only thing that made Yang Zhi dissatisfied was that the troops' mortar shells were getting fewer and fewer. Without shells, the mortars were just decorations. The bullets of the k98 were already tight, and the brothers under him had already replaced many Russian water-making rifles. It would be stupid to live on the Russian supply line.

The Russians' railway was getting closer and closer from Suihua to the front, which made Yang Zhi very troubled. The train was fast, and the Russians put machine guns on the train. This job of robbing the house will be difficult to do in the future. Yang Zhi also wanted to destroy the railway, but the Russian army was very cautious about the railway. After several times of use, he did not take advantage of it and lost more than a dozen people.

In desperation, Yang Zhi had to find another way to send someone to contact the nearby hills to see if everyone united and did a big deal. He couldn't let the Russians build the railway with peace of mind, right? Sending people to shoot black guns and black guns every now and then is a scratching sound.

The sun shone through the treetops and leaned against the trunk. Yang Zhi squinted his eyes and was dozing, thinking in his heart that he would find where to find a place to start after the liaison officer sent out came back. The forest was very big, with brothers of about 300 people scattered in the scattered shacks and on the grass between the forests. Some were talking gossiping, and some were doing their own things.

It's afternoon now. Recently, the Russian army's vigilance on the supply line has become increasingly tighter, and Yang Zhi has become more cautious and is generally not dispatched easily. He just sent out a dozen investigation teams to inquire about the news everywhere and dispatched a large group of troops after confirming that it was a good deal.

The wind blows out the sound of the forest with a slight sound of footsteps. Yang Zhi opened his eyes and sat up like a frightened rabbit.

The brothers around them didn't look at the idle look, but actually they were paying attention to Yang Zhi. Seeing that Yang Zhi had reacted, the others stood up suddenly, and the sound of the bolt pulling sounded.

"It's Chang San coming back!" The words from the guard post in front made everyone feel relieved. After a while, a small man led a group of people in gray military uniforms to appear in the forest more than ten meters away.

When Yang Zhi saw these men in military uniforms appear, his head suddenly buzzed, and a strong thought came to his mind, is the military region ordering a counterattack?

"Occurrence! Attack! Only offense is the best defense!" This is an idea emphasized by honorary principal Shen Congyun when he gave a speech at the school. The army created by Shen Congyun has condensed the soul of the establishment of the army, that is, offense! Until now, Yang Zhi has not participated in an offensive battle, and now he may be about to usher in a true offensive action.

After passing through the edge of the Russian defense line, Shen Yiyang, who had walked for three days and three nights, was led by the guide, and the team finally found the first target he was looking for.

When Yang Zhi finally confirmed something when the team led by Shen Yiyang was leading the radio station. When the brothers saw clearly who was coming, a burst of cheers rang in the forest and echoed for a long time.

…………………………………………………………

Although Stephen's face remained calm, Shen Congyun still noticed something from his flashing eyes. Stephen had just returned from the United States and was on the surface to report his work.

After briefly talking about the harvest of this trip to the United States, Stephen hesitated for a moment, and looked at Shen Congyun's expression with a little hesitation.

Shen Congyun: "Stephen, we are old friends. Just say anything if you have."

Stephen slowly took out a wooden box from his bag and gently pushed forward: "This is a cigar made from Cuba. A friend asked me to pass it over to you and asked me to take him to say hello to you."

Shen Congyun's eyebrows jumped slightly, and soon smiled slightly. He picked up the exquisitely crafted box and opened it and looked at it, saying, "This is a good thing. You may not be able to buy it even if you have money, but you are a little stronger."

Stephen: "Don't you want to know who asked me to hand it over to you?"

Shen Congyun: "What? Would you not say it yet? Am I waiting for you to continue talking?"

Stephen smiled bitterly. He had been in the business world for many years and had been dealing with Shen Congyun for more than ten years. Although on the surface, Shen Congyun and Stephen are very good friends, in fact, Stephen knew very well that there was always something between Shen Congyun and himself.

"Chen, you are looking at this." Stephen said, taking out a check from his arms and gently putting it on the table. Chen Congyun looked closely and said it was written with a 5 million yuan amount, the authentic American Citibank promissory note.

Five million dollars this year is not a small number. Stephen took out the money at this time, undoubtedly the friend who sent the cigars asked him to hand it over.

"Stephen, there is a saying in China that you will not receive any reward without merit. Can you tell me what's going on with this money?"

Stephen pondered for a while and said, "Chen, this is one of the leaders of the American Jews, Mr. Yekob, and Mr. Chev asked me to hand it over to you."

Chen Congyun was stunned and said, "Oh? Why is this?"

Stephen: "Mr. Shef has a great hatred for the storm of Jews initiated by Nicholas II. After the outbreak of the Sino-Russian War, Mr. Shef has raised funds everywhere, hoping to help the Chinese people's just war. This money is just the first batch, and the next money will be transferred to the United Fund account about a month later. In general, Mr. Shef hopes that China is the winner of this war."
