Age of Rebirth

Since joining the Independent Division, he has served as the chief of staff of the Bloody Hands and the Independent Division, as well as the main force of the Bloody Hands, the captain of the first detachment, and later the commander of the No.20 Ninth Corps. This was the first time Li Honggang met him. The teacher spoke to him with such a tone and attitude. He had no choice but to stand up, stand at attention and said, "It's the teacher. The Prisoners of War Management Office will resolutely carry out your orders!"

From the bottom of his heart, Li Honggang disagreed with the division commander's decision. He always believed that although the Japanese invaders had caused great harm to the Chinese people, it was just the crazy behavior of a small group of militarists. Those who are forced to go to the battlefield are, in short, coerced. The militarists are the culprits, and their crimes cannot be pardoned, but ordinary soldiers should be regarded as victims, right?

With this in mind, after Li Honggang became the director of the prisoner-of-war management department of the division, the main method he adopted in the management of prisoners of war was to carry out ideological reform on hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war, so that they could realize their own ideological roots. The crimes committed, but now it seems that the results are not obvious, but Li Honggang still has confidence. As a member of the Communist Party, he has absolute confidence in ideological remolding. ,ybdu

From Li Honggang's fluctuating expression, Tang Qiuli could guess what he was thinking, and also knew that Li Honggang resisted and disagreed with his order just now.

Tang Qiuli himself did not agree with Li Honggang's dictatorial policy of treating Japanese prisoners of war. Humanitarianism needs to distinguish the target, obviously.The Japanese prisoners of war were not among them, so they asked: "Director Li, you are in the process of managing prisoners of war. What experience do you have? Tell me!"

Li Honggang didn't think too much about other aspects. Seeing the teacher's inquiry, he reported the working method he adopted in detail, and finally said with some distress: "Master, it seems that the effect is not very obvious now. Those who The thinking of the Japanese prisoners of war is stubborn. They don’t think that what they did is aggression. On the contrary, they think that the aggression against China is to rescue the Chinese from the hands of Western colonists. The righteousness of the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere lift!"

"However, I and all the staff of the Prisoner of War Management Office are still confident, because I always believe that the war of aggression against China was launched by a small number of militarists in Japan. Soldiers are essentially good, they are deceived and coerced. They can be educated and reformed, so that prisoners of war can realize their aggressive behavior!"

"Enough!" The more Tang Qiuli listened, the more unhappy he felt, and he couldn't take it anymore. He suddenly stopped drinking, stood up abruptly, and interrupted Li Honggang's words.

Regardless of Li Honggang's astonished expression, Tang Qiuli walked around the room angrily, and said loudly: "Director Li, I must remind you that you ignored the most essential issues of the Japanese war of aggression against China, and even deviated from the The true direction of things!"

"Don't think that the war of aggression against China was initiated by a small group of militarists in Japan. It is absurd and confused. On the contrary, this is a war of aggression that is fully participated in by a nation and a country. It is the Japanese who invaded China. , Treat it as a war for the whole nation! Every cell of the Japanese nation is full of aggressive and destructive factors, and the nature of the nation determines its behavior!"

"Otherwise, how do you, Director Li, explain that in order to participate in the war of aggression against China, young people in Japan, even teenagers, wrote blood books, cut off their fingers, frantically joined the Japanese invasion army, and longed to come to China to burn, kill, and loot? In the Sino-Japanese War, every time a victory is won, in Japan, the whole country will celebrate it?"

"Also, why are there so many Japanese women willingly serving as comfort women? Could it be that they were all deceived and coerced by Japanese militarists? The war of aggression against China was an atrocity involving the entire Japanese nation. The Japanese are all part of this war machine of aggression against China, without exception!"

Tang Qiuli's excited voice was a little hoarse, "So, Director Li, you must put away the practice of thought remolding, humanitarianism must clearly distinguish the target, and the Japanese are not among them now, otherwise, you Director of the Prisoner of War Management Office, if you are not qualified, I will consider adjusting your position!"

"Remember, the Japanese held in the Kulun prisoner-of-war camp, they are prisoners of war, our Chinese prisoners, that's all, not the object of your transformation, let alone a guest of honor, with the development of Siberia and Outer Mongolia, In the next few years, I need hundreds of thousands of obedient laborers to wash away their sins with labor, which is the fundamental purpose of my establishment of a prisoner-of-war camp in Kulun!"

"Let these Japanese prisoners of war be afraid, without the slightest sense of resistance, and follow our orders. For this reason, killing people and punishing them are necessary means. Director Li, for those stubborn Japanese prisoners of war I want to shoot a group of elements, and let all the Japanese prisoners of war see, kill chickens and scare monkeys, since these die-hard elements are equivalent to this monkey, then let them be fulfilled, don't waste energy, what I need is obedient labor, Not a reformed model student!"

Tang Qiuli's words like a storm completely shocked Li Honggang, and also subverted the thought he had always held on to manage the Japanese prisoners of war. The teacher's evaluation of his working methods can be said to be useless. It was difficult for him to accept it, but on the other hand, it also shocked him enough that he had to reflect.

"Teacher, my way of working is subject to discussion, but I will strictly implement your orders! At the same time, I will seriously consider what you just said!" Li Honggang stood up with a purple face and said shamefully. Flashing an unconvinced look.

"Hong Gang!" Tang Qiuli calmed down, motioned Li Honggang to sit down, and said, "The most important thing you need to reflect on is to know what kind of objects we are managing, and don't fall into the misunderstanding of thinking. We Chinese pay attention to repaying grievances with virtue. But when dealing with the Japanese, this is a mistake for myself and future generations, because the Japanese are an aggressive nation that does not know how to be grateful!"

"At the same time, it is also a nation that submits to power. Only by convincing them can they be obediently obeyed. To deal with the Japanese, iron-blooded harsh methods, bullets and bayonets, are always more effective than verbal preaching. It is also more direct, I I hope you will seriously think about what I just said, and don’t get entangled in the so-called ideological transformation of Japanese prisoners of war. There is no need to waste more energy! Remember, they are Japanese, and they are the labor force I need!”

Tang Qiuli still has a lot of reservations about what he said just now. Many heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army during the war of aggression against China in history, such as the Nanjing Massacre, enshrining Class A war criminals in the war of aggression against China The Yasukuni Shrine, Japan never recognized the war of aggression against China after the war, etc. Of course, because I came to this world and changed the direction of history, none of these will happen!

For the understanding of the essence of the Japanese nation, no one in this world is more thorough and profound than Tang Qiuli. In history, because the Chinese repaid their grievances with virtue and did not completely liquidate Japan's war crimes of aggression against China, the psychological trauma left behind is still there today. Let him worry about it, even if he has been a human being for two lifetimes!

Li Honggang's mental state was a little depressed and in a trance. Tang Qiuli's words hit his mind like a tide. He stood up again and said, "Teacher, I will seriously think about what you just said, please give me a digest." And the process of absorption!"

"Of course, the change of mind requires a process, and this process is often very painful. Are you still the director of the Prisoners of War Management Office?" Tang Qiuli patted Li Honggang on the shoulder affectionately and said, "I will not leave today. Director Li, he also satisfies his cravings all night long, and he hasn’t eaten authentic hand-caught mutton for a long time, and you, Director Li, will have to pay for it!”

Tang Qiuli's half-joking remarks made Li Honggang feel a lot more relaxed, "Master, it's rare for you to come to Kulun once. Tonight, I pay out of my pocket for a treat, and the monthly allowance is a few hundred yuan. It's still enough to eat!" He also jokingly agreed.

In Kulun, Outer Mongolia, I ate a long-awaited authentic hand-caught mutton, and after a night of rest, the next day, Tang Qiuli’s special plane took off from Kulun Airport and flew directly to Dingbian. The sunset glow and the cold wind blowing from the Loess Plateau landed at Dingbian Airport.

After staying in Dingbian for two days, Tang Qiuli took Mei Ting, Mei Xue and the newlywed Liu Xinlan and others, took off from Dingbian and flew to Yangon in the Indo-China Peninsula. Led by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, they arrived in Yangon, the Indochina Peninsula and the East India Military and Political Committee in advance. So far, Tang Qiuli's strategic focus has all shifted to the south.

The special plane flew over the long Loess Plateau. Under the wings, the boundless khaki gradually faded away, and there appeared large stretches of undulating mountains covered with green. In the Indochina Peninsula, it seems like two separate worlds, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan are looking at the green under the wings with great interest, only Mei Ting, there is still sadness in her eyes.

Tang Qiuli saw it in his eyes and knew what it was for. He himself was sore. Before leaving for the airport, the daughter Jialin in the arms of his grandmother might not know that his parents were busy packing things and they were leaving him again. Traveling far away, seeing that my return date was uncertain, I laughed carefree "giggle!" and didn't burst into tears until I and Mei Ting walked out of the house.

At that moment, Tang Qiuli's eyes became moist, and Mei Ting turned her face away, not daring to look at her daughter's teardrop face, "Sister Ting, miss our daughter?" Beside him, he gently held his wife's round shoulders and asked softly.
