Tiger Police

Chapter 258 How Difficult?
The most important soul seasoning is lemon juice, shredded papaya, and passion fruit, which is commonly known as egg fruit in the local area. It is very sour and authentic.

There are not many activities at the border checkpoint, and the biggest organized entertainment is watching movies.The film was provided by the provincial film company, which specially arranged for people to come and report it.Including Hu Pingtao, the police officers would come here to get together during their breaks and have a change of taste.

Hu Pingtao picked up his wine glass: "Dad, I respect you."

After clinking glasses, Hu Chong took a sip first, and praised: "This wine is not bad."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said, "This is rice wine brewed by the proprietress herself. If you like it, I'll buy you some when I leave later."

Hu Chong first said "um", picked up a piece of barbecue meat with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed slowly: "Are you used to working here?"

"It's okay." Hu Pingtao graciously put vegetables in his father's bowl.

Hu Chongxian continued to ask: "Old Yang said, you solved a case of armed drug trafficking a few days ago, what exactly happened?"

If his father did not have the current status and rank, Hu Pingtao would not have answered this question anyway.

He lowered his voice and briefly talked about the before and after arrest.

Hu Chong listened carefully first, put down his chopsticks, and asked solemnly, "Is Zhang Qingbao dead?"

Hu Pingtao nodded slowly: "I guess it won't work when it is sent to the hospital. I know the power of the anti-infantry grenade, Annan's imitation. The situation in Myanmar is turbulent all the year round. As long as you are willing to spend money, You can buy guns and ammunition for anything.”

Hu Chong asked calmly: "What is your attitude towards Zhang Qingbao's family?"

"The martyr's application for Qingbao has been submitted, and it is estimated that it will be approved soon. Pensions and subsidies will not be less, and there is a special donation in the station. I don't want to donate too much, I only donate two thousand."

After listening, Hu Chong was silent for a long time, then raised his glass and said, "It's done."

Hu Pingtao understood the meaning of his father's words.

This glass of wine is not a respect to himself, but to the dead Zhang Qingbao.

After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, Hu Chongxian suddenly moved the chair and leaned towards his son for about half a meter. Like an old friend, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder hard a few times, then hugged him hard.

"I am very happy today...you are very nice."

Hu Pingtao was stunned.

In my memory, my father has never been so close to me.Even when I was a child, I rarely had similar actions.

He was serious all the time.The picture stored deep in the memory is either hitting or scolding myself.Armed belts, sticks, leather shoes... In short, use whatever is at hand.

I was naughty when I was a child, and I was really scared of being beaten by my father. Seeing him was like seeing the most brutal Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I couldn't help but shiver.

Hu Pingtao suppressed the excitement in his heart, and laughed in a low voice: "Dad, have you drunk too much?"

Hu Chong glanced at him contemptuously first: "What is this little wine? When I was young, I participated in the war, and when I returned home, I held a celebration banquet. There were ten people at a table, and two boxes of liquor. I drank half of a box by myself."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Back then, many comrades in arms died on the battlefield. I thought there would be peace from now on and there would be no more wars. But later I discovered that even in peaceful times, conflicts continued on the border and people often died."

Hu Pingtao was deeply touched by this: "Yes! Border inspection work is really difficult."

Hu Chong first picked up the jug, filled two empty wine glasses, and drank from his own.

He breathed out a strong taste of alcohol: "Difficult...how difficult?"

"Boy, you should read more history books. Let's not talk about the distant ones. Let's talk about our country. The founding of the country in [-], the next year, that is, [-] years. It was really difficult at that time."

"Although Chairman Mao 11 announced on the Tiananmen Gate: the founding of the People's Republic of China, but at the same time we have to face millions of remnants of the Kuomintang and the 1st Party, as many as thousands of bandits, large and small. There are as many as hundreds of thousands of latent agents, as well as three natural strongholds in Taiwan, Hainan, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."

"Before the bald head retreated, the so-called "Southwest guerrilla base" had been set up in the southwest region, and more than 4000 guerrilla backbones were specially trained. They were scattered in the deep mountains and old forests of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. There were as many as 60 guerrilla areas, and the bandits More than [-] people are armed, threatening the security of the rear of New China."

"In the Northwest, more than 20 bandits are stubborn, and they are still dreaming of an armed separatist regime."

"We want to liberate Hainan Island and Wanwan, but we don't have a navy or an air force. At that time, General Xiao Jinguang was transferred to the commander of the navy and went to the coast to investigate defense. Because there were no warships available, we had to rent a dilapidated fishing boat from local fishermen. Fishermen Surprised: You are the commander of the navy, and you still want to rent my ship?"

"New China is poor and white. The big brother of the Soviet Union gave a loan of 1 million yuan. Prime Minister Zhou Yi calculated carefully and wanted to buy warships to solve the problem of crossing the sea, but time waited for no one. Take the risk of launching the Hainan Island campaign."

"If you think about it, there is no navy, no air force, just sailing across the sea in a wooden sailboat, and even killed Wang Enhua, the commander of the second fleet of the Kuomintang and the 1st Party. He used wooden boats to defeat the modern warships, and put the Hainan island country at that time Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the 1 Democratic Party, was dumbfounded."

"It was still [-] years ago, we wanted to recuperate, but Americans wanted to support Syngman Rhee, so the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began."

"This is a contest of disparity in strength. One side is the absolute military and economic hegemony of Blue Star, and the other side is a backward agricultural country that has just stood up from the ruins of the war. Even our hard-core ally at the time, the Soviet Union, did not dare or I don’t believe that the Volunteer Army dares to challenge the United States head-on.”

"There are a lot of military books at home. When you were a child, you also read a lot of news records about the Korean battlefield. Song Shilun's Ninth Corps was stationed in Fujian at that time. Why was he selected as the main force in the North? Banditry, hundreds of thousands of spies entrenched in major cities across the country, and bald men staring at the opposite side of the strait... No matter how you look at it, this is a dead end!"

"But that's not the whole problem. In the southwest, that bastard Nehru is staring at the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and he is clinging to the "McMahon Line."

"In [-], [-] soldiers of the [-]th Army set off from Sichuan. With no roads available and extremely poor logistics, they launched the Battle of Qamdo, followed by the LS expedition. There were many difficulties along the way, even the resistance to cold and hypoxia One-third of the mules and horses died of exhaustion.”

"General Zhang Guohua, commander of the 11th Army, said: For the cause of the liberation of the people of Tibet, we must climb to Tibet."

"War is about economy and logistics."

"How bad was our economic situation at that time? The 14-year Anti-Japanese War, the four-year liberation war, and the economic data after the founding of the People's Republic of China were terrible. Compared with the data in the previous highest year, the agricultural output value fell by 20.00%, and the grain output fell by 20.00%. Five, cotton And coal production fell by half, and steel production fell by 80.00%."

"Coupled with this is a huge population that needs to be fed."

"Because of the widespread disasters across the country in 4000, there were still [-] million rural disaster victims and millions of urban unemployed people in need of relief. Under such a background, the fiscal revenue in [-] could only meet one-third of the expenditure. By [-] In [-], it was even more difficult. There was a serious shortage of materials, and the inflation data was horrific: from July [-] to January [-], in just four months, the currency inflated nearly fourteen times. "

"Such a basic market is already appalling, but we still have to face unavoidable malicious sabotage. The remnants of capital with malicious intentions continue to launch desperate attacks on the economy. At the beginning of the [-]s, the "Silver Dollar War" and the "Rice Cotton War" They broke out one after another, and the price index of [-] key cities in China rose by a full seventy times compared to the end of [-]."

"What is this concept? Think about it in another way: 100 yuan last year could buy a 7000-kilogram bag of rice. This year, it will cost at least [-] yuan to buy a bag of the same amount of rice."

"Internationally, the United States has started a comprehensive economic blockade since the founding of New China in [-]."

"In January [-], the U.S. Department of Commerce stopped the export of refined oil to China."

"In February of the same year, the United States requested the United Kingdom to impose an embargo on China."

"In March, the United States announced the "Strategic Material Control Measures", which fully implemented trade controls on more than 600 commodities such as machinery and equipment, vehicles, metal products, and chemical raw materials."

"In April, the United States threatened to cut loans and demanded that all countries aided by the Marshall Plan stop sending strategic materials to China."

"Many people believe that the Soviet Union gave us a lot of help during that period. I admit that during the period of the first five-year plan, they gave us a lot of help. This is an indisputable fact. However, things can be divided into two aspects Let’s see, during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the Soviet Union 1 sold us a large amount of old World War II equipment. These things were not for nothing, and they cost us four billion. Since then, we have been burdened with a huge repayment burden. In September 11, we tightened our belts and finally used high-quality agricultural products and resources to compensate and pay it off.”

"All of this, it seems, is bad enough."

"But that's not all!"

"Annan and North Korea, the two suffering brothers who once fought side by side, also came to ask for help one after another."

"In January 60, Ho Chi Minh, who was in his [-]s, walked barefoot in the mountains for [-] days, bypassing the heavy blockade of the French army and came to the imperial capital. He begged New China to assist the Annan people to drive away the French invaders."

"In May, Kim Yi Il Sung came to the imperial capital and asked New China to deploy troops in the northeast border area as soon as possible."

"We all agreed."

"We let more than 2 Annan troops enter the country for repairs, provided equipment, supplies and training, and used the best resources to create an iron-blooded lion for Ho Chi Minh. Generals Chen Geng and General Wei Guoqing led dozens of soldiers The commanders and fighters who have experienced hundreds of battles went to Annan in person, and in our extremely difficult situation, they took out only 1 tons of rice to fully support the people of Annan in winning the border battle."

"At the Sino-North Korean border, all the Korean fighters from the 1st Army were gathered, organized into a reinforced division, equipped with the best weapons and equipment at that time, and asked them to bring to Kim Il Sung."

"Son, let's take a good look! Standing on the ruins of [-] and looking around, no country has given us real help. On the contrary, there are a lot of people who add to the obstacles and hinder us."

"In that year, the whole world was enjoying the happiness brought about by the post-war economic recovery. New China could only starve its stomach, grit its teeth, endure the severe pain in the whole body, and use its unyielding roar over and over again to alert itself to thousands of people. Don't fall down."

"In that year, the average weight of young adults between the ages of 40 and 52 was only 1.6 kilograms, and their height was only 80.00 meters. The illiteracy rate in urban areas was as high as 90.00%, and that in rural areas was as high as [-]%. It was even far inferior to that of neighboring India. "

"In [-], when Song Shilun led the Ninth Corps into North Korea to fight, even the North Koreans shook their heads when they saw it, thinking how could such a "beggar army" defeat the Americans?"

"It happened to rain overnight! In 220, a flood disaster in the whole river basin inundated 4000 million mu of arable land, reduced grain production by 1000 billion catties, and caused [-] million victims, [-] million of whom were homeless. Hard-hit victims with food to eat."

"In the summer of 300, heavy rains fell in Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. [-] million mu of land was flooded, and [-] million people were affected. Both sides of Jinpu Road and Railway were covered with oceans, stretching for tens of miles without end."

"After the catastrophe came another catastrophe. Along with the flood of the Huaihe River, schistosomiasis ravaged 1000 southern provinces and cities, with nearly 25 million patients. Malaria was endemic in 820 nine counties in [-] provinces and cities. Filariasis, hook Bug disease, kala-azar... these infectious diseases that we all sound like scalp tingling today have become the norm at that time."

"In 40 years, the average life expectancy of men was only 42 years, and that of women was only [-] years."

"We have survived all of this, and we have survived with our lives."

"Son, you have played the game and saved the file. I play it now, and I also know that there are countless possibilities after saving the file."

"Looking back at history, there are many possibilities."

"In that year, if we accepted the request of the 11th Soviet Union and became their satellite country?"

"If you have to wait until the naval ships are in place before launching the Hainan Island campaign?"

"What if you didn't initiate the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea because you were afraid of the United States?"

"If Ho Chi Minh's request is rejected, Annan will be occupied by the French?"

"What if we let the Huai River floods go unnoticed like in the Republic of China?"

"As long as any of these "ifs" become reality, then New China will not achieve what it is today."

"Look at those who are walking ahead, do you still find it difficult?"

Hu Pingtao's heart was full of turbulent waves, followed by infinite admiration: "Dad, you are really good, remembering so many materials."

Hu Chong picked up the wine first, and filled his empty glass: "I'm reading a book recently."
