Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Xiao Zongmin smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Sir, this is indeed a mistake made by our superiors. We feel deeply guilty and are willing to reflect deeply on this."

Looking at Xiao Zongmin, who had a heavy expression on his face, Mr. Wang knew clearly the enormous pressure that this young man in his twenties was carrying.

He sighed secretly and warned earnestly: "Remember, don't be too obsessed with past mistakes. What's important is how to move forward. At present, we still need to work hard to improve the overall quality of the soldiers, strengthen their beliefs, and let every soldier know clearly why they are fighting."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tiance nodded in agreement and said, "Sir, you are right. After the war is over, I will arrange for the political department to go deep into the company and explain to the soldiers the great significance of our worker-peasant alliance. I will make sure they understand it clearly."

The gentleman nodded slightly, indicating his approval of Xiao Tiance's idea. During this period of time in northern Shaanxi, he deeply felt that although Xiao Zongmin was still young, he handled affairs without ambiguity.

What is even more rare is that there is a smart and capable team of staff behind it to support it, which can ensure that the International Youth Column always moves forward on the right path.

"Yes, we have noticed recently that your warriors have a pretty good material life, but having a strong body without a firm belief is obviously not enough."

"If soldiers are only satisfied with the comfortable life at the moment, they are likely to desert once they are faced with better temptations or conditions."

Xiao Zongmin nodded in agreement and said, "Sir, what you said is absolutely right, and it is exactly what I want. Our column was established not long ago, and many political cadres are not mature enough and their level is limited. So I sincerely hope that you can give more support and help."

Hearing this, the gentleman smiled slightly and responded easily: "Didn't the Fourth Division of your column just transfer a large number of troops from the Ludong Military Region? And the Zhang Ziyi incident happened not long ago..."

Xiao Zongmin quickly interrupted to explain: "After all, scum like Zhang Ziyi are only a few extreme cases. I always believe that most of our comrades are trustworthy."

Looking at Xiao Zongmin's eyes as clear as a spring, the gentleman knew that what he said was true, and said with some emotion: "Since it is rare for you to ask us, we will do our best to help you."

"There is one more thing here. This is a telegram sent from Shancheng. Please take a look first." After saying that, the gentleman handed the telegram in his hand to Xiao Zongmin.

Xiao Zongmin took it and read it. It said that many newspapers had recently slandered the Eighth Route Army, and the International Youth Column was slandered even more.

Xiao Zongmin sighed: "Now the mouthpieces are all in their hands, and we are at a disadvantage in this regard."

As soon as Xiao Zongmin finished speaking, the gentleman nodded and said with determination on his face: "Indeed, the power of public opinion is huge. Now is a time of great disaster. If we let them throw dirty water on us at will, I am afraid that the people in the rear will be disappointed in us."

Mr. Wang paused and continued, "The battle of public opinion is not only a battle of pens, but also a battle of hearts and minds. What we need to do is to stick to our beliefs, spread our ideas, and let more people understand and support us. At the same time, we must also actively seek exchanges and cooperation with people from all walks of life to expand our influence."

Xiao Zongmin immediately understood what the gentleman meant when he heard this, and asked, "Sir, do you mean that we should start our own newspaper and control our own media?"

The gentleman nodded and corrected him, "It's not us, it's you. We already have comrades on the public opinion front, but your column has had a very bad reputation recently. You need to restore your reputation among the people."

Xiao Zongmin's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed and said, "Sir, I understand. I will arrange it right away and let our men in Shancheng prepare, but please still give us a name."

The gentleman lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Your International Youth Column should be called the International Youth Newspaper."

"Okay." Xiao Tian agreed and arranged his men to start taking action.

……

Wang Zizai returned to the mountain city and was walking on the street. He felt someone was watching him from behind, so he quickly moved to the quartermaster's office in the mountain city.

At this time, many players gathered in the Quartermaster's Villa, discussing how to complete the newly issued tasks.

The peerless master smiled slightly and said confidently to the other players in the team: "It is easy to change the reputation of our column outside."

Fanxing Yu Liuying Xukong pushed the glasses on Buxing's face and said, "The most important thing now is to seize the print media market from the mouthpiece of the national government."

Cangmang Xingzhe said with a relaxed look: "We don't have any financial pressure. If we just give it away for free, it will definitely squeeze out all the government's print media."

Shanhe Yuelan interrupted the other party with a serious look and said: "If this malicious competition continues, it will inevitably cause great chaos. Besides, we have lived in an era where information is exploding like a tide. Can we lose to this group of conservative old guys from a hundred years ago?" His tone was full of confidence.

Hearing this, the peerless master's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly responded: "Could it be that you are referring to a method similar to the 'Shock Body'?"

Shanhe Reading nodded slightly in agreement, and then explained: "Although this kind of unconventional title-party technique may be regarded as deviating from orthodoxy and vulgar in the eyes of today's literati, the people we want to unite are the vast majority of people at the bottom of society, and we have little to do with them."

After hearing this, the peerless master made a prompt decision and said, "Okay! Let's do it."

Then he shouted passionately: "Let those headline-seeking and shock-seeking people be prepared to withstand the fierce offensive from our International Youth Column!" His words revealed his firm determination.

After a few people discussed it, they were about to prepare a new place to stay. Just then they saw Wang Zizai coming towards them, and all the players ran over to talk to him.

At this time, the battle of Majia Town was coming to an end.

Today, the Officers' Division and the Third Brigade have the numerical advantage and have begun to slowly tighten the encirclement from the outside.

Although the 13th Brigade had too many new recruits, Huang Zijiao and his officers still defeated the besieging Japanese. The two sides worked together to annihilate the Kumamoto Detachment, forcing the Japanese brigade that had ambushed the rd Brigade to flee in panic.

Huang Zihao had just returned from the front line when he saw Ye Lisan whispering with Zuo Guangzhi in the command center.

"Although our brigade has many new recruits, we also carry a lot of heavy weapons. I will mobilize all the heavy artillery in my hands to attack the junction of the Japanese Eighth Division and the Japanese reinforcements."
