War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 288: With this kind of system, do you dare to work hard for them?

Xu Chaoyang has forgotten how he learned to be a bad person, but he knows how he matured.

True maturity should have started from when he saw the corpses all over the ground in Tailai, and then gradually developed. When he arrived in Chifeng, he began to have the desire to fully control the battlefield. When he arrived at Xifengkou, this desire became even stronger...

By the time I arrived in Beijing, this desire had become a habit, a habit that I could not get rid of.

In Yu Shuihuan, Xu Chaoyang had the opportunity to get rid of Bai Jianwu directly. He only needed to take out his gun and kill Bai Jianwu and Yu Shuihuan together. However, the consequence he would face would be a little troublesome.

First, once the news of the anti-Japanese hero killing people indiscriminately in the Eight Great Hutongs was reported, his reputation would be completely ruined. Maybe the people with the surname He in the Kuomintang government would still tolerate him, but if he went to the Soviet area, or even the northwest in the future, that would be a problem;
Secondly, killing Bai Jianwu is indeed simple, but after Bai Jianwu's death, it is hard to say who the Japanese will let cause trouble in Pingjin. At present, at least Xu Chaoyang, who is familiar with the script, knows that the culprit behind the scenes is Bai Jianwu. If he dies, who will replace him can only be guessed;

In the end, Xu Chaoyang didn't quite believe the man named He.

This person is not a trustworthy person. He is known as the "most sinister villain in the government", and that is not a nickname that people call out for no reason. When the principal was first forced to resign by Wang Jingwei and Bai Congxi, as long as the surname He could express support at the meeting, the principal's situation would be much better...

Who doesn't know how close the relationship between the principal and Mr. He is? They both came back from fighting in Japan, and Mr. He was the principal's choice as the head coach of Huangpu. What happened? Mr. He learned to bite without barking, and was forced to leave by the principal!
The ancient city of Xi'an is where He's "yin" is used to its fullest. When Xiao Liuzi imprisoned the principal, the uncle advocated peace talks to save the principal. What did He say? He actually hoped to rescue him by force, and he was just short of leading his troops to fight a civil war in the government.

This is not about saving the principal. It is clearly about using the banner of saving the principal to force Xiao Liuzi to kill the principal, killing people through Xiao Liuzi, and thus rising to the top overnight.

But before all this happened, what was the relationship between Mr. He and the principal?
It was a man named He who led his troops to defeat the warlord corps led by Yan Xishan, Bai Congxi and Shi Wenhui during the warlord civil war, and became a sharp weapon in the principal's hands.

With such a person as this, does Xu Chaoyang dare to place his bet on him?

When all the warlords were fighting against the Japanese, he went to the devils to sign the "He-Umezu Agreement"; when the 29th Army was at the critical moment of life and death on the Great Wall, he led a consolation delegation to the newspaper and posted it on WeChat Moments...

The most important thing is that even though Mr. He had such a quarrel with the principal, he still managed to survive until 1987 when he died of illness. How could ordinary people compare to this man's brain?
Xu Chaoyang was afraid that Deputy Director Li's tip-off was a trap. Once he was eager to kill the traitor Bai Jianwu, he would eventually become a trump card that could be taken away by He to control him.

When it comes to turning against one's friends, throughout the Republic of China, a man named He and a man named Shi Wenhui are representative figures.

What happened next began to become a natural process.

The security headquarters' car drove into Shitou Hutong, politely invited Xu Chaoyang and the others out, and while taking them away in the car, they also captured Yu Shuihuan's brothel owner and the girl.

That night, all the brothers were imprisoned in the Security Command. It was not until the next morning that Xu Chaoyang saw Commander He with a sullen face in front of the prison gate!
"Shame on you!"

"The National Government is trying its best to promote you, Xu Chaoyang, and want you to be a pioneer in the anti-Japanese war and a national model. But you ended up almost fighting with a resigned warlord because of jealousy in a brothel!"

"Are you, Xu Chaoyang, so petty?"

"How dare the government push you to the front?"

The man named He said a lot of polite words, and was scolded by Xu Chaoyang and his brothers. He kept his head down inside the iron fence of the garrison headquarters without saying a word. But at this moment, Commander He had his hands behind his back and his chin raised. He was gradually feeling dizzy in an environment where he was in a high position and had enough power to trample on ordinary people.

When the scolding was over and it was time to talk seriously, Officer He asked, "What's going on?"

Xu Chaoyang stood up and walked to the iron fence: "Commander He, it's really not my fault."

"You also know that I am from the Fengtian clique, and the Zhi-Feng War was fought with Wu Xiucai... Now I have run into Bai Jianwu, how can I not vent my anger?" Xu Chaoyang found the best reason, which was to show the face that the former little Karami would definitely show when he stepped on the leader of the old era.

"How dare you." Officer He didn't shout, but spoke softly as if he was reminding Xu Chaoyang: "How can you say such things in front of me?"

Xu Chaoyang responded with a feeling of grievance: "Commander He, I accept whatever punishment you give me. I only blame this kid for being so cunning that he actually admitted his guilt in public without any shame. Otherwise, I would have killed him!"

Xu Chaoyang's helplessness finally earned him a smile from Officer He. He waved his hand, had the iron door of the cage opened, and walked into the cell.

"Being an officer in the government and wanting to control military power is not as simple as you think. Self-discipline is the most important thing." Commander He put his hands behind his back and said as if he was imparting the secrets of martial arts: "If you want the wind to move with you, you must know why the trees sway and why the grass bends. When the trees sway and the grass bends, even if there is no wind, you can still stir up a gust of wind in people's hearts;"

"If you want the trees to sway because of you, you must be satisfied at the top, have achievements in the middle, and be convincing at the bottom;"

"If you want the grass to fall for you, you must understand current affairs, know the people's hearts, build up your prestige, and have a positive image."

"When the wind that truly belongs to you comes and you stand at the wind's outlet, at that moment, you can turn your body slightly and follow the wind's direction by a few centimeters. Under the overwhelming public opinion, under the blessing of law and justice, even if you have some selfish thoughts, who can say anything to you?"

Xu Chaoyang pretended not to understand...

No, he just didn't understand.

But at this time, Commander He took his hand and walked out of the prison.

When no one was around, he said softly, "You want to seek revenge on Bai Jianwu for the Zhi-Feng War. Isn't that simple?"

"What you did at Yu Shui Huan was just a last resort. If it gets out, it would be embarrassing and unreasonable..."

Xu Chaoyang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this!
What Commander He meant was that he seemed to have other tricks up his sleeve.

"The middle strategy is to be patient and lead the army when the war breaks out. By then, the military order is as firm as a mountain. It's up to you to decide where to turn your mouth."

The man surnamed He was talking about war. What he meant was that Xu Chaoyang should be patient and wait for the moment when he would fight against Japan. When he led the army to fight against Japan, he could easily accuse Bai Jianwu of a crime. Then he could kill him however he wanted. If they won the war again, who would care about the life and death of a retired warlord?
"The best strategy is to wait until the whole country is stable and the laws of the country come into effect, and then punish the former warlords for their crimes..."

As for this last plan, Mr. He said that after the war, the country will definitely investigate the crimes of these warlords. At that time, you will still be an anti-Japanese hero, and crushing Bai Jianwu will be like crushing an ant.

"This is what we call a gentleman's revenge is never too late, this is what we call reason and emotion that cannot be faulted, but you chose the lowest of the three strategies, and you had to reveal your identity to Yu Shui Huan and be jealous." Chief He looked at Xu Chaoyang with regret: "If this succeeds, it will show that you are intolerant; if you fail, it will show that you are incompetent!"

"Could it be that you only know how to use a gun on the battlefield, and you just turn a blind eye to the 'laws and public opinion' around you, which can all be used as 'guns'?"

"Deadwood!"

How did Xu Chaoyang survive this time? His brain is really not in vain. Even when animals try to figure out people, they have so many twists and turns...

But if the situation is really as he said, and everyone uses "laws and public opinion" as guns, is this still a country?

Outside the cell, Xu Chaoyang seemed to see the essence of the corrupt dynasty for thousands of years, and he also understood that the National Government only had the shell of a "modern" country, but in fact it still adhered to the same old system!
But, isn’t this the corruption that our party and our army want to overthrow?

Only by overthrowing all this could there be the prosperity and glory of his era, attracting everyone's attention!

Xu Chaoyang understood why great men in this era could become the sun. With direct sunlight, who would be willing to shiver in the cold under dark clouds?

He Yingqin regarded Xu Chaoyang's thoughts as his gratitude, and put his arm around his shoulder and patted him: "Do you understand now?"

"If you want to survive and live well in this world, you have to abandon your reckless mentality in the army...Okay, I'm here, take your people with you."

Xu Chaoyang then raised his head: "Where are you going?"

He Yingqin smiled and said, "Weren't you complaining about not having enough bullets before? Go to the Quartermaster's Office and get some military supplies."
