Matsushita Juko nodded shyly: "I live in the small building opposite. Every day I hide behind the curtains and watch you get in the car in front of the yard. This is the spiritual pillar I have been able to persist for so many years. Once Sister Shen said that you went to the front line and didn't show up at the Consulate-General's Mansion for more than half a month. I was worried about your safety and missed you, so I fell seriously ill."

Matsushita Juzi's narration made Zhao Shouhong feel distressed, and he said softly, "I will take good care of you in the future and never let you get hurt again. There will be no more wars between the Hua and Japanese families in the future. We finally It's family now."

Just when Zhao Shouhong comforted Matsushita Juzi with kind words, a personal staff officer suddenly strode in. "My lord, there is an urgent military situation."

"Urgent military situation?" Zhao Shouhong let go of Matsushita Juzi and asked with a frown: "Where is the situation?"

"I don't know either. It was the deputy chief of staff who said that he was waiting outside to see you." The accompanying staff officer said.

"Let him in." Zhao Shouhong waved his hands to make his family back away, while he sat down on a chair.

"Principal, I received an urgent call from the General Staff Headquarters. A large-scale armed riot broke out in Hangzhou City. The troops in the border area of ​​​​Guanghai City are now being mobilized urgently. The Zhang Yunfeng Department of the No. 15 Army, the Third Guanghai Garrison Division and the Jiujiang Garrison Division have been dispatched. Encircle the city of Hangzhou and strive to keep the riots to a minimum."

"Armed riot? In Hangzhou?" Zhao Shouhong asked, "Who led it?"

"According to the intelligence department's reconnaissance, he is a traitor of the Hualan Communist Party. Now Zhang Guoshou, who founded the Hualan Socialist Workers' Party, took advantage of the strong foundation of the Communist Party in Hangzhou and under the guise of the Hualan Communist Party. According to the information, the representative of the Third International of the Red Alliance was also involved. He also secretly smuggled a batch of weapons and ammunition from the Red Alliance to Hangzhou Bay, and bought a large amount of weapons from the defeated National Army. , to arm the workers."

The more Zhao Shouhong listened to it, the more he felt heavy in his heart. Recently, his progress was so smooth that it was inevitable that he would be dazzled by the victory.After unifying the entire Hualan country and destroying the Wa country, he was a little ecstatic, completely forgetting that the domestic provinces he had just occupied were still a mess left by warlords for many years, and the people were still in dire straits.

In such a severe situation, he actually only announced the construction plan of railways and roads, and the expansion plan of education and medical care, but did not immediately punish the capitalists and local tyrants and evil gentry in various places, and at the same time solve the practical problems of the national economy and the people's livelihood, and help the hungry and cold people , is really a big mistake.

The people of half of the country are still waiting to be fed. The Red United Kingdom is not dead, and it is still madly attacking the border. At the south of Zhennan Pass, the Gauls are ready to move, waiting for the moment when the Hualan Kingdom weakens.This riot made Zhao Shouhong completely sober. Now it is far from the time to achieve success. He still has many tests to go through before him, and the country is still in crisis.

Looking at Zhao Shouhong's uncertain face, Bai Chongxi asked: "Principal, what should we do? Should we order all the troops to advance quickly, eliminate all resistance forces, and severely suppress the rioters?"

"No, those people were brutally exploited by capitalists and landlords, and they rose up to resist when they couldn't survive. They were not at fault, but those agitators and the government that were not good for us." Zhao Shouhong raised his head and said to Bai Chongxi: "Order The troops built fortifications near Hangzhou and did not attack, and tried not to break out with the rioters. Airdrop leaflets from airplanes to publicize our laws, regulations and policies. At the same time, an order was issued that all garrisons in newly occupied areas cooperate with the government and immediately spread all Land reform in the region. Those landlords and rich peasants who have no bad records will buy land peacefully. If they are evil gentry who have committed heinous crimes, they will be handed over to the tour court and punished. Preferential policies. For those capitalists who go their own way, send them relevant laws and regulations, let them immediately suspend business for rectification, improve the working environment and follow the non-lawful implementation, otherwise they will be severely punished.”

"Yes, I will issue an order immediately." Bai Chongxi knew that Zhao Shouhong's strategy was to draw fire from the bottom. Only in this way could the social impact of the riot be minimized.

"Also." Zhao Shouhong stopped Bai Chongxi again: "Order the Western Military Region, Central Military Region, Eastern Military Region, and Northern Military Region to deploy land and air forces to gather in the Ural region. Now it's time to settle the score with the Honglian people."

"Understood." Bai Chongxi strode away excitedly.

Occupy the central city to strengthen yourself, expand the influence of the party at the same time, and then encourage other cities to launch uprisings together, and finally achieve the goal of controlling the whole country.This battle plan was drawn up by Ma Lin, a member of the Red Union, for Zhang Guoshou, and this is also the way the Bu Party seized the power of the Raksha State.It's a pity that Marin is not a military strategist. He only understands politics, and he can only apply rote to military affairs. He doesn't understand Hualan's national conditions at all, so he makes random ideas.

Zhang Guoshou is a die-hard member of the Red Alliance faction, and he unconditionally supports all the commands and orders of the Red Alliance. He unconditionally implements Marin's plan.Taking advantage of the laxity of Hualan's army, they hid tens of thousands of weapons in the city of Hangzhou, and quickly armed a large army.

After taking control of the entire city of Hangzhou, Zhang Guoshou led a large number of workers' pickets to actively set up barricades, hoping to use the city's complex terrain and street fighting to defeat the encircling Hualan army, just like the uprising in the Raksha Kingdom. Stand your ground.

The first thousand and 130 chapters grab food in the city

Zhang Guoshou never imagined that the plan he thought was perfect, but the other party did not implement it according to the script.The Hualan National Defense Forces did not attack Hangzhou City, but directly surrounded the entire city and began civil engineering work.They surrounded the periphery of the city, digging fortifications and trenches in circles, as if they were stationed for a long time.

In addition, the Hualan Army is not idle. The air force's bombers are flying in the air every day, dropping a lot of propaganda materials into the city, so as to promote the various policies of the Hualan Vanguard Party, as well as the current land reform and compliance in the country. Activities of law-abiding business practices, accompanied by photos and introductions of real people, its authenticity is difficult to dispute.

Zhang Guoshou never expected that the Hualan army would use such a soft knife against him. Seeing that the food in the city was almost exhausted, but there were more and more troops surrounded outside the city, his heart sank.At the beginning of the airdrop leaflets, Zhang Guoshou ordered his cronies to collect them to prevent these leaflets from falling into the hands of ordinary soldiers.But the leaflets were cast every day, and they couldn't pay them at all. Soon, not only soldiers, but even officers began to hide leaflets.

"We must break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, otherwise, even if the government troops don't attack us, everyone will starve to death." Zhang Guoshou put forward his own views during the military meeting.

"This is absolutely impossible. Occupying big cities and expanding the influence of the Social Workers Party is crucial. As long as we occupy cities for a long time, it will cause a huge sensation and encourage more people to rise up and resist." Marin, the representative of the Third International, objected: "It is absolutely impossible to starve to death. There are too many troublemakers in the city. They would rather hide food than use it to support the revolution. For these conservative petty bourgeois citizens, we The best way to liberate is the surplus food collection system. Compelling their surplus food to be used as military rations will at least allow the workers’ pickets to persist for a few more months.”

Marin doesn't care about the life and death of the Hualan people. The order he received was to disrupt the Hualan country as much as possible, and it is best to launch uprisings in a large number of areas to contain the power of the Hualan army.Only by occupying big cities and causing enough sensational effect can Hualan Kingdom be thrown into chaos. As for the losses that Zhang Guoshou and his Social Workers Party will suffer, that is tolerable.

Zhang Guoshou frowned tightly, with a hundred reluctances in his heart. He didn't want these cronies under his command to suffer losses in unnecessary battles.If possible, Zhang Guoshou is more willing to launch an uprising in a more remote area, taking advantage of the weakness of the Hualan government's rule, and slowly cultivate his own power.The way to success is to wait until one's own power has a certain foundation, and then develop to a more affluent area.

Compared with Zhang Guoshou, who is quite talented in military affairs, Marin is a complete layman. He has been doing utopian propaganda and knows nothing about military affairs.Now that he is asked to take charge of the military activities of the utopian organization in Hualan, the only thing he can do is to copy the experience of the Red Alliance.From the capture of central cities to the surplus grain collection system, this is a manifestation of this situation, but Zhang Guoshou, who is superstitious about the Third International, can only agree.

There was no democracy at all in the military meeting within the party. Under the pressure of the Third International, the entire Social Workers Party became Marin's voice, and everyone could only discuss around his proposal.In this rote model, mistakes in direction are inevitable.

The worker pickets formed by the Social Workers Party quickly went deep into residential areas and began to collect surplus grain from door to door.Before the dispatch, in order to let the workers work hard to grab food, Marin also gave a speech.He informed the whole army of the current serious situation, and told the armed workers that if they wanted to eat, they should grab it themselves, otherwise everyone would go hungry together.He even set out a reward condition that each picket team could keep [-]% of the food looted by themselves and use it as private food, and the rest of the food would be handed over to the party headquarters for unified distribution.

Zhang Guoshou frowned tightly. After listening to Ma Lin's speech, which was more like a bandit mobilization, he felt very uncomfortable.He knew that what Marin meant was to inspire everyone, collect as much food as possible, and let the armed forces of the Social Workers Party last longer.But now that the food is running out and the workers are already hungry, it is difficult to control the extent to which the situation will happen if the reward conditions are offered under such circumstances.

Zhang Guoshou's worries were completely justified, and the facts proved that the situation was also developing in the worst direction he had expected.In a short period of time, it is impossible for the Social Workers Party to arm all the insurgents with utopian ideology and let them have such a high class consciousness.

Most of these workers were forced to rebel because they were oppressed and exploited, leaving their families without food.The grim situation is in front of them now. If they don't take action, they will starve themselves. Under such circumstances, who can remain kind.The workers' picket team quickly went deep into various residential areas in units of shifts. They didn't care whether the local residents were rich or not, and they asked for food after entering the door.

When Hangzhou was just recovered, Zhang Guoshou distributed half of the grain in the government's grain depot to the people in order to buy people's hearts, so every household still had some grain.However, the city has been besieged for ten days, and no one has any new sources of food, and the people are just sitting and eating.It may be reasonable for workers' pickets to smash rice shops, but it is too much to rob these people of food.But food is the most important thing now. These workers don't care whether they are civilians or rich.

The dozen or so rice shops in the city were controlled by several captains of the workers' picket team, and these small teams couldn't rely on them at all.In order to be able to eat enough, the only thing they can do is to reach out to Shengdou Xiaomin.Just like the situation in Honglian back then, all the food that was not much in the homes of the common people was robbed, the surplus food collection system became a robbery collection system, and those who dared to resist were beaten up.Although the workers had a conscience and did not kill anyone, the flames of anger spread throughout the city, and the Social Workers Party's popularity plummeted.

Looking at the hundreds of tons of grain that had been looted, Marin smiled very happily, so that they could hold on for a while longer and give greater support to the Red Alliance.Zhang Guoshou, on the other hand, had a cold face, his face twitched as he watched the warehouse full of grain. He knew that after this battle, all the previous measures to buy people's hearts were in vain.

At night, bonfires were lit all over the city. It was the pickets of the workers who were finishing their meal. Relying on the food looted today, they were finally able to eat enough.Some home-care workers even sent some food to their homes, but they soon discovered that their homes had also been looted during the day.

The first thousand and 130 chapters and two people flee

There was wavering in the workers' picket team. Many people found that joining the team was not in line with their original intentions. It seemed that holding a gun could not protect their families.Compared with the vacillation of some people in the workers' picket team, the resentment of the people in the whole city is already overwhelming.

During the warlord period, there may not be enough to eat, but at any rate, it will be over, but now every family has cold pots and cold stoves, and there is even nothing that can be cooked.The children were crying incessantly, and the adults could only sit around the bed and sigh, thinking about how to keep the whole family from starving to death.

The quick-witted people began to plan to escape. Anyway, the workers' pickets did not monitor closely at night. As long as they were willing, it was still possible to escape from Hangzhou City.The first family escaped from the urban area, and when they fled towards the Hualan government army, there would be a second family and a third family.This is the broken window effect, as long as the first one appears, it will appear one after another.

Wang Xiaozhu is a platoon leader of the Jiujiang Garrison Division. This division guards the northern line of defense in the operation to encircle Hangzhou City.Different from the laziness of the workers' pickets, everything in the Hualan Army was well organized. Although there was no landmine warning in front of the positions because it was dealing with domestic riots, there was no shortage of sentries.

It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Wang Xiaozhu took a flashlight to check the post according to his usual habits.Just after walking through two trenches, Wang Xiaozhu heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the direction of Hangzhou City. He was startled and immediately turned off the flashlight, pulled out the speed machine rifle with his backhand and fell into the trench.

Wang Xiaozhu's first reaction was the enemy's sneak attack, so he carefully broke off the hammer of the pistol, and at the same time called out to the sentry next to him in a low voice.In the system of the Hualan Army, a sentry is set up every 50 meters at night, so it is easy for Wang Xiaozhu to find his comrades.

After the two of them got together, Wang Xiaozhu decided to let the soldiers go back to gather the team, while he continued to monitor here.After the soldier left, Wang Xiaozhu listened for a while, and the more he listened, the more suspicious he became.These people's footsteps were chaotic and unorganized, and they walked very slowly, as if they were physically weak. If this situation was a sneak attack, it would obviously be unreasonable.

At this moment, the child's cry suddenly came from the night, but then stopped abruptly, as if the child's mouth was covered by someone.

"There is a child." Wang Xiaozhu was taken aback for a moment, he realized that this should not be a military operation, and the people on the other side were not soldiers.

"Don't get any closer, who are you?" Seeing his comrades running along the traffic trench, Wang Xiaozhu felt confident in his heart, and immediately asked loudly.

To Wang Xiaozhu's surprise, the people on the opposite side were confused when they heard his shout.The woman's exclamation and the child's cry sounded together, as if she was very afraid of her own question.Wang Xiaozhu was a little puzzled. Since the opponent was not an army, he boldly shone it with a flashlight.

With the weak light of the flashlight, Wang Xiaozhu could clearly see the group of people tens of meters away.There were old people and children, and there were also two or three middle-aged men. At this time, these people all looked in the direction of the flashlight with terrified eyes, and all of them trembled.They had no weapons in their hands, and judging by their bulging appearance, they should be carrying luggage.

At this time, the soldiers had already entered the position, Wang Xiaozhu said to Qian Qing, the soldier beside him, "Follow me and ask, it seems that those people are ordinary people."

"Platoon leader, you can't go. I can go by myself. If they are really civilians, I will bring them here." Qian Qing snatched Wang Xiaozhu's flashlight, jumped out of the trench, and walked towards the group of people.Wang Xiaozhu was afraid that Wang Qing might make a mistake, so he asked two more people to follow him.

Five minutes later, three soldiers including Qian Qing returned with the group of more than 5 civilians.Qian Qing reported to Wang Xiaozhuhui: "Report to the platoon leader, these people are the people in the city, they escaped because they couldn't survive."

"Common people? In the city?" Wang Xiaozhu approached and asked, "Who is in charge here?"

A middle-aged man came out of the crowd and cupped his hands: "Master, my name is Wang Dakui. If you have anything to ask me."

Looking at the trembling look of the other party, it is obvious that he is very afraid of the soldiers.Wang Xiaozhu said in a soft tone as much as possible: "Brother, don't be afraid. We are soldiers of the people, and we are as close to the people as a family. My name is Wang Xiaozhu. We were still a family 500 years ago."

Hearing what Wang Xiaozhu said, those people were obviously relieved, and then he asked: "You are living well in Hangzhou City, why did you escape?"

Wang Dakui sighed and said, "Master, you don't know. Since the city of Hangzhou was besieged, the food in the city has become less and less. But those workers' pickets have little food, and we are not rich. I didn't expect that the pickets today They actually robbed food with armed forces, and ransacked all the food from every household, and didn't even leave me a little bit. Seeing that the whole family is about to starve to death, we can only venture out of the city to fight for our lives .”

"So you guys haven't eaten yet?" Wang Xiaozhu looked at the large group of people in surprise, including a gray-haired old man and a child less than one meter tall.
