Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 290 Returning
Fengtian, the Marshal's Mansion.

The young marshal has been in a good mood recently, because since the arrival of Wang Yi and his group of fresh troops, he has been unable to push back on the battle line.

However, due to the destruction of the Kwantung Army's airport by Wang Yi and his men, and the trouble they caused behind enemy lines, the Kwantung Army stationed in the Port Arthur area is now haggling with the Imperial Navy, and there seems to be a trend of fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Several of his trusted old subordinates also wrote to him, saying that they had received a large amount of canned meat supplies, which would allow them to deal with the Japanese behind enemy lines for a long time.

Good news came one after another, and the young marshal's frown, which had been frowning due to the series of unfavorable war situations, relaxed a lot.

At this point in the war, the young marshal also realized that he was just a local warlord. No matter how large the territory he occupied, he had no chance of winning with the strength of three provinces against Japan, an industrial country.

His good brother in the interior just sat back and watched, and even engaged in illegal anti-Japanese activities. He sent him a telegram every ten days or half a month, accusing him of rashly exacerbating the friction between China and Japan and making the Republic of China very passive in international public opinion.

There is no support inside and strong enemies outside.

If we retreat into the interior without firing a shot, then our family will never be able to go back outside the Great Wall with dignity, and we might not even be able to protect our father's grave.

But if we fight to the death here and in the end all the capable fighters are killed, even if we retreat to the interior, we will have no say among the many warlords. Without a say, many things will be beyond our control.

Now, the war has been fought and the work has been done. The people outside the Great Wall have also realized that it is not that they do not want to fight, but that they will inevitably lose if they fight this way. Even if they withdraw their troops back to the Great Wall now, they will give an explanation to the soldiers under their command, which will allow them to temporarily calm down, face reality, and wait for the opportunity.

During this period, taking advantage of the chaos within the Kwantung Army, he won several battles on the local battlefields and seized a lot of supplies.

Now he just needs to take care of the final steps and then he can retreat back to the interior.

Given the fierce fighting I have done outside the Great Wall this year, no one will have the right to point fingers at me on this matter when I return inside the Great Wall.

Just as the young marshal was thinking this, the adjutant came to report that Wang Yi and the others had returned.

When the young marshal came out with his men, they saw Wang Yi and his entourage standing in the courtyard unharmed. The disciples of the Trinity Sect beside him were carrying a large box, and another one was carrying a sack. From their appearance, it was obvious that there were people inside.

Seeing the sack, the young marshal realized that the other party had taken his words to heart and brought back the person he wanted.

"Mr. Wang, you really helped a lot on this trip. You are so powerful that you even have connections with the Americans. You were able to stir up trouble between the Kwantung Army and the Navy. I admire you."

"It's just a minor fight. It's been going on for so long, but nothing big has happened. I'm just doing what I should do."

"Inside here..."

"Yes, Marshal, your family."

"Thank you."

With a wave of his hand, a guard came up and took the sack. The person in the sack seemed to have heard the conversation between Wang Yi and the young marshal, and knew his fate, so he began to struggle violently.

These guards were not polite to the man their commander had specifically ordered to be killed. They just hit him with two rifle butts, and the man became obedient.

As for who was in the sack, it was just as Wang Yi said, a family member of the young marshal, his cousin who claimed to be a legitimate descendant of the Zhang family but actually betrayed his country and became a traitor.

This guy, who should have been killed at the order of the young marshal, escaped because of the escalating war outside the Great Wall and is now thriving.

But this also became a concern for the young marshal, so when Wang Yi and his men sneaked into the heart of the Japanese-occupied area of ​​the Kwantung Army, he put forward a request, hoping that Wang Yi could capture him alive. He could also execute him on the spot in front of all the soldiers before withdrawing to the interior to reassure the troops.

As soon as the matter in Ice City was settled, Wang Yi naturally brought the other party back when he led his men to withdraw. With their means, it was not difficult to take someone away quietly.

How others deal with their cousin is their business, and Wang Yi doesn't care. He came back to report because he wanted the young marshal to help him with something.

"Mr. Wang, these are..."

"There are too many people around, young commander. Go in and talk. It will be a good thing for you."

"please."

Half an hour later, the young marshal, who had seen blood and killed people on the battlefield, was now slumped in a chair, looking at the various incriminating photos in the box that Wang Yi brought back from Zhongma City. His face was pale and his hands and feet were shaking.

"Beasts! Beasts! These inhuman beasts!!!"

Swear words came out of the young marshal's mouth one after another, but he no longer had the courage to continue watching, not to mention that there were also rolls of film recorded in the form of a documentary in the box.

"Mr. Wang, whatever you want me to do, just tell me!"

"In fact, there is nothing we can do. We cannot defend the areas outside the Great Wall, which is not our fault. It is understandable to save our manpower and withdraw to the interior of the Great Wall. But we have to let the people outside the Great Wall know about these things and know the real purpose of these devils. Occupying land is one of their purposes, but their real purpose is to destroy our great Chinese nation and exterminate our race.

We have already informed the local volunteers in Bingcheng, and some of the evidence has been recorded by camera and handed over to them for distribution. We still need your help here, Marshal. Taking advantage of the lack of air power in the Kwantung Army, print out as much evidence as possible and spread it throughout the areas you can control now. If you can let one citizen recognize the true face of the devil, you can save one more person, which is a great merit. "

"I see. I'll take care of this. What do you plan to do with these things, Mr. Wang?"

"I will take it back and keep it well until the day we win, and then I will use it for other purposes."

"Since the things are brought back by you, Mr. Wang, it is up to you to decide how to deal with them. I just ask you to stay for a while so that I can prepare them. As for the planes, I still have a few that can be used."

"Okay, I'll take the things first. When you're ready, you can come to me directly. You know the place, and I have some things to tell my colleagues."

"Mr. Wang, please do as you please."

Wang Yi led his men away, and the young marshal also hurriedly called for help. Just as Wang Yi said, if he did these things himself, the people outside the pass would give his family some face even if they didn't think of the good things of his old Zhang family. That night, in the courtyard arranged by the young marshal in Fengtian City, only Wang Yi, the disciples of Sanyi Sect, Liang Ting, the dough man Liu, and Lao Meng were left.

The Zhuge family and the Tang clan had already left, and also left with them was Wang Yi's first formal disciple, the young man Yan Shuangying.

The etiquette of paying homage to the master and serving tea was kept simple. Wang Yi did not choose any auspicious day. He let the young man Yan Shuangying pay homage to his master and after he officially became his disciple, he also made three rules with the master.

Let him train with the Tang Sect for two years to hone his skills. In addition to the most powerful moves, the Tang Sect can teach him all the skills. I will also give him one of my skills as a thank you gift.

A method that can detect when the Tang Sect reveals their true form under the illusion barrier.

This thank-you gift was quite generous. During the battle of Mianshan in the original timeline 40 years ago, when the leader of the Japanese alien organization Higashiyama Ninja was assassinated, the master was ambushed because he did not expect that the other party had a means of detecting invisibility. In the end, he had to exchange his life for the other party's lowering of their guard and entering the coverage of his Danshi.

For a killer sect like the Tang Clan, if this method could be incorporated into the sect for disciples to practice, it would be even more powerful in some assassination missions.

And when everything was done, Wang Yi simply asked Tang Men to bring Yan Shuangying to the capital to wait for him, and that was the end of it.

The rest is just the whispers between these old friends.

"Brother Liang, are you two really not planning to go back to the interior with us?"

"I won't go back. Someone has to stay here to do something for the people. Your things have been announced to the world, but as soon as the Fengtian Army withdraws, the area outside the Great Wall will completely become the private territory of the Japanese. Now that these things have been exposed, will the Japanese dare not do it again?

If I stay here, with the reputation I have earned in the past few years, I can at least unite with my fellows in the outside world to save people and sabotage. If you really want to take someone away, take Ma Benzai with you. This guy is a favorite of Tiangongtang. He was arrogant and competed with me back then. Although he lost, his talent is not worse than mine, and even far exceeds mine. It's a pity that he died here. If you take him back, it can be regarded as a relationship with Tiangongtang."

"I see. What about you, Master Liu?"

The dough maker Liu also shook his head and made the same choice as Liang Ting.

"I have done a lot of bad things during the years since I joined Quanxing. Even if I die here now, it can be considered a worthy death and I have repaid my debt. As for the inheritance of skills, you have already shown me the great way of bone shaping and skin painting. Even if I go down to see Master, I will have an explanation. As for the inheritance of skills, I have seen that young man named Yan Shuangying, he is a good material. If you accept him, it is the same as me accepting him. Please help me teach this skill. Here is the manual."

As he spoke, the dough man Liu Ye took out the outline of practicing the bone-cutting and skin-painting technique that he had written today and handed it to Wang Yi. It was obvious that he came well prepared.

Like Master Liu, there was also Liang Ting. He looked at his lover, Zhang Xuan, who was also from the Mo Sect of the Mechanical Sect, and handed a manual containing a hundred solutions to the Military Fire Machine to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi flipped through it casually and saw the hard work Liang Ting had put into this booklet, because the pictures inside were all related to the current rifles, machine guns, grenades and some mortars.

"I have not only worked hard on the machinery over the years. Especially after seeing the difference between the Japanese military equipment and the Fengtian Army, I know even more clearly that even if we can defeat Japan, it will not be possible in three to five years. The generation gap is too big. In addition, the nature of the National Government, haha, so I have been thinking over the years, can we adapt to local conditions, combine the mechanical school's forging skills of turning decay into magic, and use local materials to produce a batch of weapons.

This is what I have learned over the years. Although it cannot last long, it can be used in emergencies, and the threshold is not high. As long as you are a disciple who has just started learning mechanical arts, you can practice and use it. With the friendship I have maintained with the Mojin Rougu Sect over the years, it should not be a big problem. This is all I can do."

Wang Yi solemnly put away the manual that the two people handed to him, because based on the current situation outside the Great Wall, what the two people did was equivalent to entrusting an orphan to the care of others.

But it was their own choice, and he couldn't say much.

As Liang Ting and the dough man Liu made their choice, they followed Wang Yi to the outside of the Great Wall for training. The eighteen disciples of the Sanyi Sect, who had also witnessed the suffering of the people outside the Great Wall, discussed it together. Finally, Shuiyun, Changqing and Zhuge Yunduan, a member of the Zhuge family, came forward and walked towards Wang Yi.

"Why, you want to stay too?"

"Walk, the land of China is full of flames, and the people are suffering. Since the Sanyi Sect is the most powerful sect in the world, it is impossible for them to sit back and watch."

"If you stay here, you will die."

"Then die. The road beyond the third level will have to be paved step by step by our generation."

"Have you discussed everything?"

"We've discussed it, and I don't regret it."

"Since you don't regret it, I won't say much. You all have to go back with me, meet the left gate chief, meet your parents, and then go back to the border. Even if you want to serve the country and fight against the Japanese here, if for nothing else, you have to give an explanation to your parents and teachers."

"Follow the command of the law!"

When everything was settled, the young marshal sent people to take photos of the evidence that Wang Yi brought from Zhongma City, and printed them into a book. He then used the few planes that were still in the hands of his other childhood friend to spread the evidence over the areas he could reach while the Kwantung Army's air force was empty.

As for Wang Yi himself, it was only after he saw the young marshal do these things with his own eyes that he said goodbye to his old friends such as Liang Ting and the face man Liu and led his men back to the interior of the country.

Shortly afterwards, after the Spring Festival of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, the Young Marshal also withdrew to the interior of the country with the preserved seeds of the Fengtian Army.

At this point, the Fengtian Incident that began in the 20th year of the Republic of China came to an end after more than a year of fighting. The Japanese invaders completely occupied the three provinces outside the Great Wall, turned them into their own private land, and closed the main transportation routes between the interior and the outside of the Great Wall.

More than one million square kilometers fell into the hands of the enemy, and 30 million compatriots became slaves of a conquered nation.

For Wang Yi who returned to the interior, this war of resistance, whose outcome he already knew, had just begun.

His plans for the present and the future have only just begun. Some mistakes and detours cannot be repeated again.

At the same time, in the Shanghai International Settlement, the Overseas Branch of the Continental Group of the Republic of China was opposite to the Continental Hotel and the newly established Overseas Branch of the Continental Daily.

James Gates, who escaped from the conflict between the navy and army of the Empire outside the Great Wall, brought back the Ant Nest alien and a thick envelope, and went to find his good friend Nick, who is now the editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper, and chief reporter Snow.
