Chapter 52 Public Opinion
what to do?
Wang Xuexin was a little panicked.
He didn't expect things to happen, and he didn't expect that the entire historical trend would be changed because of his own efforts!
If this is true, I will become a sinner!
But at this time, the leader noticed that Wang Xuexin's expression was different and asked: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, do you have any ideas?"
Wang Xuexin habitually said "yes" and then found that he had no idea at all, and was at a loss after getting up.
The leader saw it and sighed in his heart.
Northeast is the little guy's hometown. He is about to be ceded by the stubborn army to the Japanese. No wonder he is unscrupulous!
"Don't take it too seriously!" The leader slowed down and advised: "We will never let the Northeast fall into the hands of the Japanese. Comrades will fight the Japanese to the end and will unite to smash the conspiracy of the stubborn army to sell their country and surrender! So don't worry too much, we can't get rid of our own!"
Wang Xuexin said "ah" and then realized that the leader mistakenly thought he was worried about the Northeast...
The cadres also advised:
"Yes, Xiaobeidong, we will get back one day!"
"The Northeast is not only your hometown, but also the territory of China! We all have responsibilities!"
...
Wang Xuexin nodded in emotion.
This may be the most fundamental difference between the Eighth Route Army and the Stubborn Army.
The Eighth Route Army is united, firm and brave, and is a group of people who truly strive for the country, the nation and the ideals.
The stubborn army is still a warlord after all, but just a large warlord.
The limitations of warlords determine that they consider their own interests more than their national interests.
At the critical moment, they will sacrifice the interests of the country without hesitation to preserve themselves, rather than sacrifice themselves to preserve their country like the Eighth Route Army.
But……
What can I do now?
We can't let the Eighth Route Army suffer heavy losses like history, right?
That’s one hundred thousand people and a large number of people!
Moreover, it is probably too late to do this at this time. The Eighth Route Army has attracted the attention of the Japanese. It is not easy to get them back to their previous positioning again?
What's more, Wang Xuexin believes that he cannot pin his hopes on the Japanese.
If you can't do this, should you go in another direction? That is, make the Eighth Route Army stronger!
However, the key point is never whether it is strong or not, and whether history has returned to the right track.
At this time, the Chief of Staff said: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, you are not fighting alone! And we, all the revolutionary comrades, and thousands of bloody Chinese, will stand with us and eventually defeat the Japanese and take back our territory!"
After hearing this, Wang Xuexin's eyes lit up and he said, "The Chief of Staff is right. We should unite the strength of the masses!"
The leader felt a little strange when he heard this. Why was this a little confused? So he asked: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, what did you think of?"
"Chief!" Wang Xuexin replied: "I don't think we should just let the Japanese and stubborn troops sign a ceasefire agreement and sell the Northeast!"
"But..." the chief of staff asked in confusion: "They signed the agreement, what can we do to stop it?"
Use spy?
Or assassination of an agent?
Not to mention the difficulty, even if it is done, it can only be stopped for a while.
The Japanese and the stubborn army only need to change their representatives and locations, and they can also negotiate and sign an agreement.
"I think we can start from two aspects!" Wang Xuexin said: "On the one hand, we take the initiative to launch battles against the Japanese and do a good job of publicity! Moreover, these battles can be best promoted to the control area of the stubborn army, the wider the better!"
The leader seemed to have guessed the purpose of Wang Xuexin doing this and nodded slowly.
The Chief of Staff said in a little embarrassed manner: "Although we can do it,... it may cost a lot!"
Wang Xuexin knew what the Chief of Staff was talking about.
The Eighth Route Army has many supporters and intelligence personnel all over the country. These intelligence personnel can spread information by distributing leaflets or even editing text in newspapers.
The price is that they may be secretly arrested or even assassinated by the stubborn army.
(Note: The stubborn army cannot publicly "convict" the patriotic behavior of these patriotic people. The most common way is to secretly arrest and assassinate)
"These are worth it!" the chief said, "We must tell everyone with practical actions that the devils are not invincible. This can not only make the fallacy of the Wang Puppet regime's "curve-curve-saving country" bankrupt, but also shock all the hesitant surrender factions!"
What the leader said was exactly what Wang Xuexin thought.
But this is just a process, but the goal is a "case of understanding".
"Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin further explained: "The reason why the stubborn army was eager to cease the war with the Japanese and even ceded the Northeast was nothing more than losing confidence in defeating the Japanese. If we could fight a few beautiful wars and gain the initiative, let the stubborn army especially let the people see hope, and we would also sign this "understanding case" that was powerless and humiliating the country, wouldn't it be stupid?"
The Chief of Staff suddenly realized that Xiaobeidong was not fighting for war, but had a clear strategic goal, that is, to use the method of cutting off the firewood from the pot to make the "understanding case" lose the need to sign.
If you Japanese have a full advantage in China and ask the stubborn army to cut off this and that, the stubborn army will have to surrender.
If he let the Eighth Route Army beat him up to pieces, would he be embarrassed to let the stubborn army cede land and seek peace?
Even if the stubborn army agreed, the Chinese people would not agree!
How can I seek peace in a low voice after winning a battle?
If the stubborn army dared to take advantage of the world and forcibly sign a "understanding case" with the Japanese...
It is conceivable that it will soon be abandoned by the military and civilians across the country, and it will be not far from destruction.
Therefore, Xiaobeidong's idea is very clear, and he uses victory and propaganda to occupy the highest point of public opinion, so that the stubborn army's plan to sign a "understanding case" will go bankrupt!
Thinking of this, the Chief of Staff nodded excitedly: "It's right. If you can stop the 'understanding case', it's worth it!"
After pausing, the Chief of Staff asked again: "What about the other side?"
Wang Xuexin replied: "The content of the 'understanding case' was spread, and the people were mobilized to force the stubborn army with public opinion!"
"Well said!" said the chief: "If the whole country knows that the stubborn army is going to sell the country and set off a wave of protests, the stubborn army will be passive!"
There is a fundamental difference between them before signing and after signing.
The "understanding case" was only exposed after the signing of the signing. At that time, the situation was already completed and the people were useless to protest. At most, the stubborn army would come out to explain what "slow-down strategy" and forget it after a while.
But if the signing was exposed before the signing, there would be a chance to recover the matter at this time, and the people would go to the streets to protest even more fiercely.
In this case, if the stubborn army dares to sign this agreement, it means ignoring public opinion and standing opposite to the people across the country...
