Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

On the train back to Fengtian, Xu Yan stood outside the last train carriage, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers calmly with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"Mr. Xu." Zhao Wenyu called Xu Yan from behind.

"Oh? Something to say?" Xu Yan said softly without turning around.

"It's nothing. I came over to check on you because I saw you were in a bad mood." Zhao Wenyu said calmly.

"Just speak frankly. Although we haven't known each other for long, I believe that our ideals are the same. I also hope that we can talk openly and honestly, and don't want us to be suspicious of each other."

"Mr. Xu, what is your purpose?" Zhao Wenyu thought about it and finally couldn't help but speak, asking the doubts in his heart.

"Purpose?" Xu Yan repeated to himself. He was also confused about this matter now. He became more and more confused since he traveled here.

"I don't know either. I'm very confused right now. I want to do so many things that I don't even know where to start."

"It seems that Mr. Xu has great ambitions!" Zhao Wenyu looked at Xu Yan with a smile, his expression quite amused.

"Ambition? Haha, Old Zhao, you actually think I have ambition? It seems that we really need to have an in-depth discussion about our common future." Xu Yan found Zhao Wenyu's words more and more funny, but he also became alert. It seems that he really needs to sit down and have a good chat with everyone to unify their thoughts.

"Did I say something wrong?" Zhao Wenyu was stunned when he heard that.

"I don't know if what you said is wrong. I don't know myself whether it should be called ambition or ideal." Xu Yan said calmly, holding his arms in front of his chest and looking at the rapidly passing scenery behind him.

Zhao Wenyu did not respond and also looked into the distance. He knew that Xu Yan had not finished speaking, so he just waited quietly.

"At present, China is in the darkest era. There are warlords in various places, fighting for years, and landlords who don't care about the lives of ordinary people. They impose all kinds of tyranny and heavy taxes. It can be said that the people are living in misery. There are powerful enemies around us. The powers regard China as fish on the chopping board and divide their spheres of influence at will. The so-called concessions are everywhere on the land of China. On the contrary, the Chinese people have become second-class or even third-class people on their own land! The closest country to us, Japan, arbitrarily stationed troops in Kanto and continuously developed reclamation groups. They simply regard Kanto as their own backyard!"

Xu Yan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Wenyu and said in a deep voice: "I am sure that within five years, Japan will completely show its fangs to our China! Invade on a large scale! By then, we will really become slaves of a conquered nation!"

After listening to Xu Yan's words, Zhao Wenyu was a little confused even though he had read a few years of books. What Xu Yan said was really a bit big! The pattern was obviously not something that people of their class could imagine! Especially his prediction of the future, which was so certain! He asked in disbelief:

"Mr. Xu, are you so sure?"

"Of course, if you know more about Japan, you won't be surprised at my prediction! The resources of their small island country are very limited! The land is barren and can't satisfy their ambition to dominate the outside world! Look at the land of Kanto! There are shadows of Japanese everywhere! No matter what industry you are in, you can find the Japanese in the open or in secret! It is obvious that they have been coveting our fertile land in Kanto for a long time! Although Marshal Yu Lin is now pretending to be loyal to the Japanese, how long can he deal with it? If the core interests of the Japanese cannot be finally satisfied, the Japanese will definitely replace him as an agent!" Xu Yan said firmly.

"Ah? You mean they dare to attack Marshal Yu Lin? This? How is this possible?" Zhao Wenyu looked at Xu Yan in disbelief, as if he was looking at a madman.

"The Dongning Army is a mess to begin with! It is only supported by Marshal Yu Lin with his extraordinary tough tactics and personal courage! But it is only to maintain the current situation! There are many factions within the Dongning Army, and each party is unwilling to give in. The local giants below are secretly contacting the Japanese to develop their own territory and power. If this continues, civil strife will break out sooner or later! The Dongning Army is a broken ship that has been riddled with holes for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it sinks!"

Xu Yan seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him and was unusually calm.

"Then what should we do? Or what do you want to do, Mr. Xu?" Zhao Wenyu looked at Xu Yan with a worried look on his face. Xu Yan's words were like a heavy punch to his heart.

"Since Mr. Zhao asked us what to do, it means that Mr. Zhao believes what I said, or he agrees with what I just said." Xu Yan said with a smile.

"Yes, after listening to your analysis, I think it makes sense, and I am even more worried about the future of the Great China!" Xu Wenyu replied with a somewhat depressed mood.

"Mr. Zhao, don't be discouraged. I think you just called me here to ask me why I used the young marshal to frame Wu Tiankui, right?" Xu Yan turned his head and stared at Zhao Tianyu and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Tianyu was shocked. Yes, he wanted to question Xu Yan why he did such a shameful thing. It seemed a bit embarrassing.

"Wu Tiankui is not a good guy. He wanted to work for the Japanese to get rid of me. I just received your information, Mr. Zhao, and took the opportunity to let him get the retribution he deserved. As for the young commander, I want to say that for the goal in my heart, anyone can become my chess piece!"

"Anyone?" Hearing Xu Yan's words, Zhao Wenyu suddenly felt a chill on his spine. He was so scared that he asked involuntarily. It would be terrible if anyone was a pawn in his eyes.

"Yes! Anyone! Including you and even more so me! Any of us is someone else's pawn." Xu Yan noticed the change in Zhao Wenyu and said with a smile.

After hearing Xu Yan's next words, Zhao Wenyu's nervous heart eased a little.

"Mr. Xu, to be honest, after listening to what you just said, I have somewhat lost confidence in the future. It seems that the only way left for us is to become slaves of a conquered nation!" Zhao Wenyu returned to his previous shrewdness.

"No! I firmly believe that our Great Hua Country is invincible! We have the strongest force! Relying on them, we will surely defeat all powerful enemies!" Xu Yan suddenly seemed a little excited, and there was an invisible joy in his words.

Although Zhao Wenyu couldn't see Xu Yan's face clearly in the dark, he could feel that Xu Yan was smiling at this moment! Smiling at him!

"Does our Great Hua Country have such power now? We really don't know? Is it more powerful than our Marshal Yu Lin?" Zhao Wenyu looked incredulous.

"Of course! And you can see it every day." Xu Yan said mysteriously.

Zhao Wenyu was even more confused.

Xu Yan was no longer in a daze and said in an extremely firm voice: "This power is the common people! It is the people! Only they are the greatest power in our Great Hua Nation! Whoever can awaken this power will make the Great Hua Nation invincible!"

Zhao Wenyu seemed to understand, and murmured, "Common people, the people?"

"To be more precise, it should be farmers! The vast majority of farmers make up the largest group in the Great Hua Country. Whoever masters how to use this power, I believe, will be the one who will lead the Great Hua Country to glory." Xu Yan said almost word by word while looking up at the sky.

Zhao Wenyu was really confused now. No one had ever said such words to him. In his eyes, the most humble, voiceless and lowly peasants had become the power that could influence the fate of the country in Xu Yan's eyes. Was Xu Yan crazy?

"I know you find it hard to accept it for the time being. Think about it, aren't farmers the most numerous people in Dahua? Where do the soldiers in the army come from? Can people be without anything but food? And where does food come from? All of this comes from farmers! Soldiers come from farmers! Food and supplies come from farmers! All classes in Dahua come from farmers! Even those upper-class people who are high up now, their generations ago were all farmers!"

Xu Yan talked eloquently, leaving Zhao Wenyu stunned! He had never thought about it this way, but now after hearing what Xu Yan said, it seemed to be true, and it made sense!

Xu Yan did not stop and continued, "Whoever can make the farmers live a good life and let the people have enough food and clothing, then the people will definitely support him! The farmers nowadays are starving and submissive because they lack their own understanding! If someone helps them enlighten their own understanding and have their own ideas, then no one can bully them! The people are water, and those in power are boats. Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it!" After saying this, Xu Yan let out a long sigh.

Zhao Wenyu suddenly shouted: "Mr. Xu, you want to be such a person!"

Xu Yan looked at him and smiled without answering him, but Zhao Wenyu clearly saw the answer from Xu Yan's eyes! Yes! Xu Yan wanted to be the person he said he was! So all this made sense.

Zhao Wenyu suddenly became excited, as if there was a fire burning in his heart. He finally figured out why Xu Yan had told him so much, because Xu Yan treated him as a common person!

The two discussed a lot in the dark night. Zhao Wenyu asked a lot and Xu Yan explained a lot. In Xu Yan's words, Jiyu Village was a torch he lit in the darkness, and each of them was a burning spark that would ignite the prairie fire in the future.

"Old Zhao? Do you think this is ambition? I think it's more appropriate to call it an ideal, haha!" At this time, Xu Yan changed the way he addressed Zhao Wenyu and asked with a smile.

Zhao Wenyu suddenly reached out and held Xu Yan's hands and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity to realize this dream together!"

Later generations highly praised this conversation on the train, and later scholars called it "the free talk on the train." Later, when Zhao Wenyu was dying, he vaguely saw the high-spirited young man talking to him on the train. At that time, he really didn't expect that he would achieve such great success later. He was very glad that he was the first person to hear these theories.

At this time, in the Heilongjiang Provincial Governor's Mansion, Governor Wu sat quietly on the sofa, holding the telegram he had just received in his hand, with mixed feelings. The young marshal was attacked in his jurisdiction! And the mastermind behind it was actually his own nephew Wu Tiankui. This matter was no trivial matter, and Governor Wu felt tremendous pressure!

He knew the Marshal Yu Lin too well. If he was asked to return to Fengtian at this time, he would probably be in great trouble! Then all the hard work he had put in this Heilongjiang Province over the years would have become a waste of money for others!

He couldn't help but curse in his heart! When Xu Yan came to Heilongjiang Province, he thought it was abnormal when Marshal Yu Lin sent him a telegram! How could a small lieutenant come to this? Marshal Yu Lin personally asked about it? Maybe this was Marshal Yu Lin's way of reducing his military power and setting a trap for himself! That's right, it must be like this!

Otherwise, if he said his unpromising nephew was corrupt and took bribes, then Governor Wu would definitely believe it, but if you said he assassinated the young marshal in an attempt to rebel, then he would not believe it at all! Not to mention Wu Tiankui, even Marshal Wu did not have the courage to do so! He developed his own power just to keep his position as the governor of Heilongjiang Province.

At this time there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Marshal Wu did not ask who it was, but let him in directly, which means that those who could come to this room should be people around him.

The person who came was none other than his personal adjutant.

"Have you found out?" Governor Wu asked coldly.

"Commander-in-chief, I have sent people out to investigate. Captain Wu did meet Yoshida a few days before the incident and spent the night at Yoshida's place." The adjutant replied in a low voice.

"This brainless and useless thing!" Governor Wu muttered a curse.

"Moreover, before the incident, Captain Wu met a man who was said to be from Fengtian. The assassination happened two days after he met this man, and the killer was indeed hired by Captain Wu's adjutant." After the adjutant finished speaking, he stood there quietly.

There was silence for a long time. I don't know what Governor Wu was thinking. The room was unusually quiet.

"Have all the other killers been found?" Governor Wu suddenly asked.

"Not yet! Captain Wu's adjutant said that this time his hidden man was not the usual people around him, but new people! These people seemed to have disappeared afterwards, and no one knows who they are!" The adjutant said as if he knew something.

"Humph! Disappeared? I guess her mother probably went back to Fengtian on the Young Marshal's special train!" Governor Wu said hatefully.

"What do you mean, Governor? They directed and acted this out themselves?" The adjutant had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"What else? I was wondering why this guy asked Xu Yan to do the peripheral security work when he arrived in Heilongjiang Province! It seems that this was planned long ago! This is targeting me!"

"Call Fengtian back and tell him that my old injury has relapsed and it is difficult for me to travel. Send someone to tell Guo Jianglong to come down the mountain! The bigger the noise, the better! Damn you for trying this on me! You are too naive, young commander!"

Governor Wu said in a deep voice, slamming his fist hard on the table.
