Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Chapter 39 Welcome Banquet! Chu Feng: "I firmly believe that the war of resistance will be won!

This time, Major Qin and Major General Zhang were accompanied by many reporters, patriotic students, and representatives from various groups and organizations.

After discussing the important matters, Chu Feng held a welcome banquet in Yuan County that evening.

The next day, Major Qin and Major General Zhang left in a hurry. They were also very busy now.

However, the reporters and representatives from all parties did not leave. The reporters did not leave because they wanted to interview Chu Feng.

In response to this, Chu Feng gathered everyone together and held a symposium.

If Chu Feng were to chat and be interviewed by a reporter, he would not have the time or energy.

The only option was to have everyone gather together, so that we could accept interviews and chat with representatives of various groups and patriotic student representatives, killing two birds with one stone.

"We already said a lot of welcome words yesterday, so let's keep it simple today. This is a relatively relaxed chat."

Chu Feng, who was sitting on the main sofa, looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "Otherwise, it will be too formal. You will feel uncomfortable and awkward, and I will feel constrained too."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone present laughed.

During the brief meeting yesterday, everyone discovered that this young man, Chu Feng, was mature beyond his age.

When we met again today, one sentence made everyone see that Chu Feng was unconventional, with the freedom and unrestrainedness of a young man, but without the rules of a middle-aged or elderly person.

Everyone couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Chu Feng.

"Before we begin, let me introduce you." After everyone laughed, Chu Feng's voice rang out again. He pointed to both sides and said, "This is Major General Ge Dayong, the deputy commander of our 1st Independent Brigade."

Upon hearing this, Ge Dayong smiled and waved to everyone.

"This is my chief of staff, Major General Wang Tiezhu!"

"This is my director, Major General Li Mingqiang!"

After Li Mingqiang finished waving and greeting everyone, Chu Feng continued, "Our 1st Independent Brigade also has a logistics director named Zhao Shawo. I usually call him Uncle Zhao Wu. He is the last major general of the 1st Independent Brigade."

"He is currently busy with the affairs of the 1st Independent Brigade and is not in Yuan County for the time being. I hope that next time there is an opportunity, he can meet with everyone."

After briefly introducing his entrepreneurial team, Chu Feng got straight to the point and said, "Today is a chat, but a chat always needs a theme."

"I've thought about it and decided not to prepare anything. We'll just listen to everyone's questions."

"Then we can just answer everyone's questions. Once you've asked, we'll check for any gaps."

"We've been very busy recently. Please pay more attention and let us, the rough soldiers, take some time off." Hearing Chu Feng's self-deprecating remarks, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

When a person is capable, he will be liked by many people. When a person is capable and humorous, he will be liked by even more people.

Chu Feng, this young man, the most popular and well-known anti-Japanese war general in China today, not only took the initiative in the venue through his words, but also left a deep impression on everyone.

"General Chu, since the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, we have been at a disadvantage. The Chinese people have always been less confident in whether we can win the war of resistance. Do you have anything to say about this issue?"

Soon, a reporter asked a question of his own.

“That’s a good question!”

Hearing this question, Chu Feng smiled. He first praised, then his expression became serious and said, "Everyone is not very confident in fighting the Japanese army. The reason is very simple, that is, our strength is not enough."

"This problem cannot be attributed to any one person or group. In my opinion, it is the result of our country's poverty and weakness for over a hundred years."

"I'm a very direct person, so I'll talk about the results first, then the reasons and ideas!"

"The result is that we will definitely achieve final victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. This is beyond doubt and is the only final result. There can be no other result."

"As for those who advocate the theory of national destruction, they are all spineless traitors and fence-sitters. You can just listen to their words, but if you take them seriously, you will be led astray by them."

"On paper, China is an agricultural country. In terms of industrial output and scale, we cannot compare with the industrialized Japanese."

"But when two countries go to war, we can't just look at paper strength. We need to analyze each case on a case-by-case basis. Our country's industrial strength is poor, but we have a vast territory, great strategic depth, and a large population."

"What does this mean? It means our war potential is huge!"

"The Japanese have a narrow geographical area and scarce resources. Why do they have such arrogant words that they can destroy China in three months? Why?"

"That's because their resources don't support a protracted war. They can only hope to quickly defeat our people and break their will to resist, leading them to surrender or continue appeasement and compromise."

"But now that the full-scale war of resistance has broken out, appeasement and compromise are naturally impossible."

"For a long time to come, we will be fighting against the Japanese invaders on the land of China."

"Large-scale battles will continue to break out, and there will also be forces like our 1st Independent Brigade, the Eighth Route Army, and other anti-Japanese forces active in the enemy's rear."

"This is our country. We are playing at home no matter where we are."

"So I can't find any conditions that can prove that our battle with the Japanese will ultimately lead to our defeat."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, warm applause suddenly broke out in the conference room.

Everyone showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. The original hesitation and confusion disappeared, and they were replaced by the belief that they would win the war.

"General Chu, since you believe we can eventually win, how long do you think it will take?" A student representative couldn't help but ask.

"I can't give you a timeline. It could be six or seven years, eight or nine years, or even more than ten years." Chu Feng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "But one thing is certain: as long as we can unite as one, work together, and persevere, we can fight the Japanese to the end."

"The final result will definitely be our victory. I firmly believe in this."

“No, I’m confident!”

Having said this, Chu Feng paused slightly, then patted the two general stars on his shoulders and said, "My confidence comes from the soldiers and weapons and equipment in my hands."

"And you, and everyone else!" Chu Feng pointed at everyone and said, "Here are the middle-aged pillars of the country, the mature and steady seniors, and the young people."

"Everyone's support, everyone's belief in victory, and everyone's determination to work together."

"This is also the reason why we achieved the final victory, and this reason accounts for a large proportion."

"With so many of us gathered here, 400 million people united as one, how could we fail?"

"The future of the War of Resistance is bright, and victory will ultimately be ours!"
