Rise from the sword

Chapter 766 It’s not bad to have a strong motherland, right?

December tenth.

South America.

Pigeon Colombia.

In a relatively remote small county town.

"Is it a decisive battle?"

Dunant looked at the newspaper in his hand and sighed.

The location is remote and the transmission of information is slow.

The newspaper in his hand at this time was still an American newspaper half a month ago. Its main content was the replacement of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces on the Western Front with General MacArthur, as well as recruitment advertisements and war bond advertisements.

In order to avoid affecting morale, the Americans did not report the war situation and the huge financial burden of the war on the news.

However, as a former member of the Central Unification Committee, and once a middle-level leader with real power, Dunan has a very keen sense of smell after a long period of intelligence work.

He sniffed out the truth from the clues.

During the battle on the front line, without major incidents, the sudden change of command, combined with various commercial information on the market recently, the Allied forces must be preparing to launch a large-scale attack.

And it's a strong attack.

Attack the German defenses head-on.

Otherwise, it is impossible for an outsider to know that the Allied forces want to hide it. Although they don't know if they can hide it from the Germans, there is still no problem in hiding it from him.

Combined with the previous battle reports published by the Allied forces in the news, and the situation on the Eastern Front that was only leaked in a few words, it is easy to draw further conclusions.

This head-to-head battle is the key to determining the outcome.

If the Allies win, they will triumph all the way to Berlin, Germany will perish, and the Allies will lose, then Germany will rule the continent of Europe, and the British Empire will become history.

"Hey···"

Then, he turned his eyes to the east, to his hometown, and sighed deeply.

Compared with the tragic allied forces, and Germany, which is under attack from both sides, at this time, our own family is like watching a tiger fight from a mountain. No matter who loses or wins, they are all winners, and they are firmly established in the Asia-Pacific region.

Over the years, the dream that everyone has striven for has been realized, and it is even further than the dream.

No, far more than one step, even competing for the world.

only··
These things have nothing to do with him.

He is just a lost dog who is forced to live in a foreign land,
Fortunately, during the few years of Zhongtong's real power career, he had a lot of pockets. Although after the Anti-Japanese War, the military reunification rose and the Zhongtong power fell, but at that time he had already accumulated a lot of assets, and all of them were exchanged for foreign currency and gold.

But it was precisely because of his pre-war Central Unification career that he had to flee his hometown.

Back then, the main enemy of the Central Reunification was...
As for the war period,

Because of the support of his friends, he transferred to the military command and fought against the Japanese. With his outstanding ability, he still gained some gains. Unfortunately, because of his former status in the central command, he only received some verbal and false awards, and there were very few opportunities to make money.

Holding the newspaper, he walked towards the residence here along the dilapidated and dirty streets.

suddenly,

He saw a man in a Chinese tunic suit approaching from a distance, and the figure was vaguely familiar. He blinked, and in a daze, the man had rushed over and greeted Dunan ecstatically:
"Haha, brother Nan! I can see you here."

"De Neng?!"

Dunant was also immediately overjoyed:
"Haha, why are you here too?"

"Come, come, I'll treat you, let's not go home if we don't get drunk today! This time I'm the host."

He immediately dragged the man to the street.

The person who came was Qian Deneng, a close friend of his, who had once served as a senior member of the military command, and was Director Dai's confidant. His deep trust was the core reason why he was able to transfer from the military command to the military command.

He is also his only close friend.

In their profession, they are used to benefits and betrayal, so it is really not easy to have a close friend.

"Haha, then I'm welcome."

Qian Deneng was also very happy.

The two then went to a local restaurant run by a Chinese, walked into the private room, and after a while, a table of good food was set on the table, as well as several bottles of imported Moutai wine.

"There are authentic Xiahebang Sichuan dishes here."

Clink glasses with friends first, and then have a mouthful of boiled pork slices.

After staying in Shancheng for six years, he fell in love with Xiahe Sichuan cuisine, but because of a mission, he had to travel abroad, and he has not eaten it for a long time.

Especially with friends.

This is Glenbia, a chaotic country in South America, and it is a little-known small county. He was really surprised to be able to eat such authentic Sichuan cuisine, a chef level.

"Brother De Neng also came to South America to do business?"

Looking at his friend dressed as a successful businessman, Dunan started talking.

"Business..."

Qian Deneng suddenly smiled and replied:
"Well, the task I'm doing now is of the commercial type."

"Task?!"

Dunant was startled.

As far as he knew, his friend went to carry out the mission more than a year ago, and Director Dai personally assigned him, but now the fruit fruit has long existed in name only, and Director Dai also ran away with his tail between his legs.

With his understanding of his own people, Dunant could even guess what mission his friend was going to perform.

It must be to buy and spy on the core figures in the base area over there.

"wrong."

Then Dunan keenly realized that something was wrong.

He had been fighting with those people for a long time during his tenure in the Central Command, and he was very aware of the strength of that group of people. Recently, their strength has increased greatly, and the devils' confidential information is readily available. The secret of the fruit is probably not transparent in their eyes. .

There's no way a buddy is still on a mission from more than a year ago.

so····

"You trusted them?"

Du Nan's gaze was fixed, and his hand directly held the gun handle at his waist.

During the Central Unification period, his main opponent was that group of people. Although he was only a small middle-level person, he also participated in several arrest operations. At that time, the opponent was very weak, and they disrupted many operations...
"Or, you were arrested, so you have to do things for them?"

Dunant looked around warily.

Different road non-phase plan.

Based on his understanding of his friends, it is absolutely impossible to join that group of people, and there is an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides' ideas.

"I'm the only one here. Don't be nervous. I'm not here to catch you. This time I'm here to manage and supervise a mining company. It's really an accident to meet you."

As if recalling something, Chan De Neng smiled and said while eating:

"However, you are right in thinking, I am doing things for our former enemy, but I am doing it voluntarily."

"why?"

Dunan still looked around vigilantly, and still tightly held the pistol at his waist.

Don't have the heart to harm others, this sentence is not suitable for him, but you must have the heart to guard against others, he will never let go of this sentence, even if it is a close friend, he is always vigilant.

In this regard, the two are the same, so they can become true friends.

That's why he didn't understand.

Why does my friend work for that group of people.

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible.

It's hard to imagine that a person who is pure and follows his interests will be with those people who are striving for their ideals, although he has to admit that the theories promoted by that group are indeed very attractive.

But ideals are ideals, and reality is reality.

"We graduated in the same semester, right?"

Qian Deneng took a sip from the wine glass, was silent for a while, then looked out the window, and said:

"Ah."

Dunant nodded.

Both of them were intelligence personnel trained in the training class conducted by Guoguo, and they had already had a good relationship at that time.

At the same time, he released the pistol from his waist.

After his careful observation, there were indeed no other people lurking around the restaurant, and with his best friend in front of him, he was no longer so vigilant.

"Back then, when we gave the training class, we still wanted to serve the nation and the country. When necessary, we could sacrifice our lives for the country and the nation."

Chandler could continue to drink, his eyes already lost in memories.

Dunan's eyes also fell into a brief trance, as if a long-buried and profound memory emerged, but soon recovered his cold eyes, and even sneered, with a mocking tone:

"pity."

"That's just the ridiculous naivety of being young and ignorant."

"That's just an illusion created by us being fooled by those in power and those with vested interests."

"really."

Chandler nodded:

"In the original era and background, this sentence can be said to be correct."

Saying that, he raised his glass.

"Humph."

At this time, Dunan had gradually let go of his vigilance, and he also picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Qian Deneng.
"If it weren't for the unscrupulous encroachment and monopoly of the four major families, which led to a large deficit of official capital and heavy losses of private capital, why did our country have so little industrial capacity before the July [-]th Incident?"

"Even if you can't compare to the devils, even if you can't change the solution to the war, you won't lose so badly, and so many people won't die."

"even."

"During the Anti-Japanese War, their food was even uglier than before the war."

"Our foreign aid supplies, the anti-war supplies brought back by the pilots risking their lives across the highest peak in the world, appeared on the black market in less than a week."

"[-]% of foreign aid funds are swallowed up by them and then transferred abroad."

"Moreover, during the war, when the supply of front-line weapons and equipment was in short supply, the steel factory in the rear actually closed down. This incredible thing."

"What's even more ridiculous is that this group of biggest traitors actually received a bunch of medals. The officials got bigger and bigger, and their pockets got bigger and bigger, while the soldiers on the front line got thinner and thinner."

"・・・"

Speaking of the latter, Dunan was already so angry that he spoke incoherently.

After scolding fiercely, he calmed down:

"The society of Datong is impossible to exist. Human nature is greedy and never-ending."

"Look at that group of people. Their slogans sound good, and there are also people who are greedy and powerful. For the sake of profit, they have caught a lot of traitors who betrayed their comrades and joined us. Of course, they are indeed much less than us. The War of Resistance They performed much better than us.”

"But it's just fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps."

"That, indeed."

Looking at his friend who hadn't changed at all, Qian Deneng smiled and nodded in agreement.

"But why are you?"

Dunan restrained his emotions, frowned, looked at his friend, and speculated again:

"Is it to save some capital?"

Recently, that group has risen, the economy is doing well, so they are very rich, and there are many opportunities, so he guessed that his friend joined that group for pockets.

"No."

Chandler shook his head:
"Because in the last mission, I found my dream back then."

"Have you found your dream?"

Dunan was taken aback.

The two had the same dream, and when they graduated from the special training class, they swore an oath together, but the reality made them understand that the so-called dream was actually just their wishful thinking.

"Brother Nan, do you have a feeling recently that it's getting better and better here?"

Chandler looked at his friend and said with a smile.

"It's getting better and better?"

Dunan was taken aback again, then nodded:

"really."

Since the battlefield more than a hundred years ago, domestic turmoil has intensified, society has become more and more chaotic, huge indemnities have sunk to the grassroots, and under the heavy levies and miscellaneous taxes, an equally large number of people at the bottom of the country have no way of living.

proactive,
or forced,
The population began to migrate.

Although South America is remote, poor, turbulent, and far away from China, the number of Chinese who have taken root in South America is still very large. The reason is actually very painful.

Most of them were abducted, or even directly arrested and trafficked.

At that time, the Peruvian colonists alone "imported" [-] Chinese laborers. These people were engaged in hard work such as repairing railways, plantations, and mines. The situation was worse than that in China.

Although it has improved a lot in recent years, overall, they are still at the bottom. Once the society is in turmoil and chaos, they will always be the most injured, and the upper echelons of society have never opened up to them.

But recently, the situation has greatly improved.

As if overnight.

What did not belong to them before, the so-called fairness and justice of civilized people, suddenly included them.

They also became civilized people.

For example, the Chinese chef who opened this restaurant in this county opened it recently, and the authorities even took the initiative to maintain law and order. It is not impossible to put it in the past, but the cost will be several times higher.

"You should know the reason."

Chandler asked again.

"because of them····"

Dunant nodded.

Why, these people were suddenly accepted by the so-called civilization?
Because their hometown has become stronger.

Back then, those people beat up those who dared to bully them, those who had bullied them before, and even dared to rush to the coast of South America to catch people and try them, and dared to turn against the United States and annihilated the mighty United States. fleet.

Although the latter does not know the truth or falsehood, it is inevitable that the United States will suffer.

Those who commit crimes against them will also be wanted.

Then, there is no one in the world who dares to bully them casually.

"It's nice to have a strong motherland, isn't it?"

Chandler said with a smile.

"Really good."

Dunant nodded again.

Even he has felt that life is getting better and better recently. In just a few months, he has been doing well here, and his business is getting better and better.I came here today to inspect a forest farm.

Domestic timber prices are high, especially high-quality timber, which is very scarce, and he intends to take a share.

But at the last moment, he gave up.

The timber business is indeed profitable, but if you continue to contact that group of people, in case his identity is exposed...

"so."

Dunan looked at his friend and understood somewhat:
"You just joined them?"

Leading their own country to prosperity was the dream of the two when they just left the special training class. If so, he could understand why his friend would join that group.

"Yes."

The two clink glasses again.

"Your previous identity..."

Dunan couldn't help asking, with a worried tone.

Datong does not exist.

At that time, the Guoguai where he worked was constantly infighting and corruption was rampant. Those people were indeed much better than themselves in this regard, but they also had other problems. They had to do cleaning every now and then.
As for Brother Deneng, although he is not in the Central Committee, he is considered to have come out at the same time as him, and he has also fought against that group of people.

"Brother Nan."

Chandler laughed:
"Go back and have a look."

"There is some truth in your words. Back then, we were one hundred steps and fifty steps away from them. Everyone was not much better. There were a lot of problems, but at that time, we ignored the biggest difference between the two sides. "

"We have been hesitating and even regressing, while the other side has been improving."

"Like now, they've grown so powerful and we've disappeared without a trace."

"As for the so-called relying on aid, did we receive less aid back then? The result? [-]% of the US aid went to private accounts, oh, or bank accounts in the United States."

"And the other party used all the aid where it should be used."

"It is not terrible to have problems, the most terrible thing is to face problems without solving them."

"Safety issues, you can also rest assured that the past has passed, and you are not on the wanted list."

"Go back home..."

Dunan muttered to himself.

　Cough cough, try to write something new, practice writing...
