Respectfully

On November [-], the movie "Soldier" was screened successively in major theaters and theaters in the north.

Compared with "Immigration", which made Guanbei Film Company a hit, "Soldier" is not like a story, but more like a documentary. The film is based on a Manzhouli frontier soldier, and tells the story from a never-before-seen perspective. The life of this ordinary frontier soldier.

I served as a soldier for three oceans, bought food for my family with the money I spent as a soldier, and invited a doctor for my sick father.Saying goodbye to his parents, he walked out of the house with a simple burden on his back. The girl from the same village stood under the big pagoda tree at the entrance of the village, watching him silently, waiting for him, and when he came close, she stuffed a package that was still steaming. Put it into his arms, open it, and inside are white flour pancakes that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year...

Like many soldiers of this era, his original intention of becoming a soldier was for the few pieces of housing allowance and the monthly military salary.

The honest farmer learned how to shoot a gun. He took the train for the first time. Together with the brothers in the carriage, he looked out the window curiously...

When they arrived in Manchuria, they were no longer recruits, they became border guards guarding the frontier.According to Shangfeng's instructions, they patrolled the border every day, and occasionally they could see the Russians and Cossacks on horseback on the opposite side.

Manzhouli is very cold. Even if he is used to cold weather, he can't help shivering when it snows. This often reminds him of the joy when he was young and had snowball fights with the children in the village.

The peaceful days were destined not to last long, and suddenly, the sound of cannons rang out.

The sound of bullets flying by, the heat wave caused by shell explosions, the roar of officers, the sound of machine guns, grenades... The enemy is attacking, and a brother who was patrolling with him yesterday fell beside him, his face already stained red with blood.

The enemy's attack seemed endless. He just mechanically pulled the bolt and shot the bullets out of the barrel one after another. He didn't know how many enemies he had killed. He only remembered that the comrades around him were getting stronger and stronger. At least, in the end, it seemed that he was the only one left.

No, there is also the regimental seat, the staff officer, the battalion commander, and the clerk who looks like a child...

He has never been educated, doesn't understand the principles, and can't say anything impassioned. He became a soldier for a few dollars.But now, when the enemy several times his size rushed up, he was firmly guarding his position, even if he was the only one left, he would still guard it!

For what?

Bandits and robbers want to break into the house, shouldn't men be desperate? !

Under their feet is their land, behind them is their home, their relatives, they will not back down, and they will not die!

The clerk was dead, but the kid still couldn't hold the gun steady. He died with the enemy with the grenade in his arms, and he was still calling his mother before he died.Several wounded also died. Like the clerical staff, they used a few hand grenades to drag the robbers who wanted to break into the house to hell... The regiment was wounded, and the staff had already strapped grenades to his body...

There was no bullet in his gun, and without any hesitation, he strapped two grenades in front of his body.

With the cries of cavalry, the rumbling of horseshoes, and the bright light of knives, he rushed out of the trenches. His comrades, who were training with him in the new barracks, and the brothers who were curiously looking out from the train carriages, would be in the barracks. The veteran who brags to the recruits, the squad leader who can kick the veteran, and his brothers are all dead, and they are all watching him from behind!

Facing the saber coming up, what he thought of was not death, but the girl who once stood waiting for him under the big locust tree at the head of the village.

boom!

In the sound of the explosion, he fell to the land of the Northern Kingdom.

When he fell, he felt the tremor of the earth, not from the enemy, but from behind him!

Familiar military uniforms, galloping horses, black carbine guns, intertwined sabers.

Reinforcements are here.

He smiled...he saw the girl under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village again, she became his wife, holding the child, waiting for him to come home with his parents...

At the end of the film, the invaders were driven away, and the northern land filled with gunpowder smoke left only the lost lives.

While the wound was still bleeding, the commander of the frontier army squatted on the ground and howled loudly, like a wounded prairie wolf who had lost his companion.

The reinforcement officer was dressed in an iron-gray general uniform. He dismounted and walked to the side of the commander of the border guards, leaving only a tall and straight back for the viewers. In front of the two, the fiery red sunset was slowly sinking to the west. Bei Guo: "Get up, stand up!"

A military reporter took pictures of this scene, and the camera turned to his face. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and rewrote the officer's words on the notebook with a pen. The sharp handwriting penetrated the back of the paper.

The video is over.

When the lights came on, many people were crying, but the last sentence of the film was deeply imprinted in their minds and hearts, get up, stand up!

The Lou family sat in a private room on the second floor. Li Jinyan had read the script written by Zhang Jiancheng and even knew every detail of the film, but his eyes were still red. Mrs. Lou and Lou Wu pressed the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs. crying red.

"Mother, Fifth Sister," Li Jinyan said, but didn't know what to say next, stop crying?He's never been good at comforting women, and, to tell the truth, he still has a sore nose.

"Yan'er, that officer, why do I look like Xiao'er?"

Mrs. Lou was moved but moved, but her vision was really sharp.

"It's not the young commander, it's just that his figure and back are more recognizable." Li Jinyan was relieved to see that Lou Wu was also attracted to his attention and stopped crying. Thinking that something happened to the Presidential Palace, "This movie is based on the Manchuria Battle, and the soldiers in it include the frontier soldiers who fought on the battlefield."

"Those Russians?"

"It's all from the farm, and there are also prisoners captured by the young commander in Khabarovsk and Vladivostok."

"captive?"

"Correct."

Speaking of this incident, Li Jinyan also found it incredible.

At that time, I went to pick "extras" in the prisoner-of-war camp, and these old men "applied enthusiastically". The people in the film company were worried that they would take the opportunity to escape, but the soldiers guarding them said, don't worry, they won't run away.

In fact, even if you rush, you probably won't be able to drive away.

However, during the filming period, there was still an infantry platoon with live ammunition guarding them, and only the leading dozen or so cavalry were authentic Russians, and the rest were out-and-out Chinese.

Until the end of the filming, these Russians were as honest as Brother Bing said, and had no intention of running away at all.When eating, they lined up obediently, and when it wasn't their turn to play, they stayed on the sidelines honestly, and even begged for cigarettes with the soldiers guarding them.

Originally, Li Jinyan suggested that all Russians working on the farm be used, they are much more credible than these prisoners of war.The director shook his head after seeing it, and pointed to Ivan who was wearing a thick padded jacket and trousers, a pair of black padded shoes, a leather hat on his head, and his hands in his sleeves, "How does he look like a soldier?"

In fact, what the director wants to say is, how can this old man look like an old man?

Li Jinyan looked at Ivan, indeed, said that this man was a Russian military officer before, nine out of ten people would not believe it, and the remaining one was his acquaintance.

Back at the Presidential Palace, President Lou and Marshal Lou have not returned yet.

The Congress is still going on, and the bills that caused the members of the two houses to quarrel have been passed, some have been rejected, and some are likely to be shelved again, such as the bill issued by Bai Baoqi, the head of Hua Xia Bank. Noisy, but still can't come to a result.

During this period, news came from Shanghai that the federation established by foreign banks had been making frequent moves recently. This not only attracted Liao Qiting's attention, but also Song Wu's attention. He sent a telegram to Song Zhou in the capital, explaining the situation in detail , Song Zhou did not delay, and immediately found Lou Shengfeng.

President Lou Da was not well versed in economic affairs, and he couldn't think of anything to say about the telegram, but Bai Baoqi frowned after reading the telegram, and he didn't say how to deal with the actions of these foreign banks. He only proposed one thing, to temporarily second Ren Wuchu from the six northern provinces to the capital.

Ren Wuchu is currently serving as the director of the Finance Bureau in the six northern provinces, and he is able to handle all major and minor matters with ease.President Lou Da once thought about transferring him to the capital, but the young marshal Lou refused to let him go, and Ren Wuchu didn't intend to "promote him", so he had no choice but to give up.But this time was different. After listening to Bai Baoqi's explanation, Young Marshal Lou immediately sent a telegram to Guan Bei. Ren Wuchu received the telegram, quickly arranged the work at hand, and set off for the capital.

Today's China's economy seems to be thriving and thriving, but behind the surface prosperity is a hidden crisis.

Compared with the old European powers, China's economic foundation is still quite fragile. Maybe the Europeans can't get away with it in the military, but it is not too difficult to stab China in other ways.If China can be hit hard economically, the energy spent on restoring its vitality alone will be enough to cause headaches for the coalition government. If it is not handled well, the already stable situation is likely to become turbulent again.

Perhaps it was the rise of Huaxia that made them feel threatened. The arrogant Europeans were like cats whose tails had been stepped on, stretching out their sharp claws, trying to scratch a few bloodstains on Huaxia.

The British Minister Zhu Erdian is closely following the movement of the Huaxia coalition government. It is hard to say whether the establishment of the Bank Federation of several countries is driven by this sophisticated "Huaxiatong".

The Qing Dynasty died ahead of schedule, but the Shanghai rubber stock market crash that occurred in 1910 did not disappear, but the scope of its impact was not as wide as in history.Some speculators met the same fate as in history, and others were lucky to escape.International speculators also failed to pass all the losses on to Chinese speculators as in history.

This time, foreign capital made a comeback. Bai Baoqi and Ren Wuchu couldn't come up with a good solution after discussing it.

When Bai Baoqi was discussing with Ren Wuchu, he specially called Li Jinyan who was in the capital to listen.At the beginning, Li Sanshao could still understand what the two were talking about. In the middle of the conversation, a series of professional terms came out, occasionally mixed with English and German, and Li Sanshao's head was buzzing.

Regardless of Li Jinyan's success in running the factory, he only understands the superficial aspects of what Ren Wuchu and Bai Baoqi said, and he can pick up a few simple sentences.

"Uncle, these are really not my strengths." Li Jinyan spread his hands, "It's okay to ask me to pay, let's forget about the rest."

Bai Baoqi was left speechless by Li Jinyan, so he couldn't understand, how did his niece and daughter-in-law achieve such a big business?

However, Ren Wuchu knew that Li Jinyan was telling the truth, and after discussing with Bai Baoqi, he stopped forcing Li Jinyan.

You can teach slowly, not in a hurry.

Finally let go, Li Jinyan stood in front of Bai Baoqi's office and let out a sigh of relief, patted his head, so that the two masters were willing to teach him, and he also wanted to learn, but he really didn't understand, let the elementary school students solve the advanced mathematics of college students , are you kidding me?At least wait for him to reach the level of a high school student, right?

On November [-]th, a full two days later than the original scheduled return date, Li Jinyan and Lou Shaoshuai boarded the train back to Guanbei.

Mrs. Lou and Miss Lou Wu went to the station to see him off in person. Lou Shanbao put his arms around Li Jinyan's neck, teary-eyed and unwilling to let go, but Lou Huo forcibly tore him off.

Lou Wu walked forward with Xiaopangdun in his arms, and said to Li Jinyan with a smile, "Have a good trip, come, Bao'er, and say goodbye to uncle."

Dignified, gentle, and grand, facing such Lou Wu, Li Jinyan can hardly figure it out, is Dai Jiansheng's mind stuffed with grass?No wonder Mrs. Lou wants to punish him, even he wants to punish that bastard!

Speaking of which, during these days in the capital, I haven't seen Dai Jiansheng much. Even for Lou Er Shao's birthday, the daughter and son-in-law of the Lou family who were close to him came, and Dai Jiansheng only showed up briefly, and there was no more after that. appeared.

Lou Wu didn't seem to care, Madam Lou didn't mention it, but Li Jinyan knew that Dai Jiansheng's life was definitely not easy.In the end, Lou Wu would still go back to Dai's house with him, even if he changed his mind, the knife cut on his heart would eventually leave a scar.

The whistle sounded, the train rumbled out, and the figure on the platform gradually became blurred until it turned into a few black spots and could no longer be seen.

The carriage was furnished very comfortably, only Li Jinyan and Lou Shaoshuai were there.Li Jinyan rested his chin on one hand, staring at the scenery outside the car window in a daze, and his chaotic mind gradually calmed down.

After a while, Li Jinyan turned his head, and his eyes fell on Young Marshal Lou who was sitting across from him, looking down at the documents. Even in the few days in the capital, Young Marshal Lou was busy with business most of the time.The big president will hand over some government affairs to him, and others don't think there is anything wrong.As if, this is a matter of course.

Sensing Li Jinyan's gaze, Lou Xiao raised his head, "What?"

Li Jinyan lowered his arms, "Young Marshal, will you be the president?"

"meeting."

Even though he had the answer in his heart, Li Jinyan never expected that Master Lou would answer so simply.

Putting down the documents in his hands, Young Marshal Lou looked at Li Jinyan, "I have something to do."

must do

Two fingers brushed Li Jinyan's cheeks, and the temperature of his body made him tremble uncontrollably.

"What about you?"

"What am I?"

Marshal Lou looked at him quietly, his black eyes were like a bottomless abyss, trying to suck Li Jinyan into it.

"I told you, I believe you." Young Marshal Lou put his hand behind Li Jinyan's ear and inserted it into his hair, "Understood?"

Li Jinyan's heart beat faster and faster, and his throat started to dry out. He grabbed Marshal Lou's hand and almost exhausted all his strength.

"Lou Xiao," he called Young Marshal Lou for the first time, "I also have something to do. I also have selfish intentions, but I can assure you that everything I do is for this country."

Everyone has secrets hidden in their hearts that cannot be revealed, not even in front of the closest people.

After a while, Marshal Lou's voice sounded again, "It's the first time."

"what?"

Li Jinyan's heart was still hanging, and he didn't understand what Young Marshal Lou was talking about for a while.

"Call me by name."

The next moment, there was a whirlwind, and Li Jinyan was pressed on the table. The familiar but unfamiliar man leaned over, lowered his head, and brushed his lips against his forehead and ears, "Call again."

"..." What's the situation?They were talking about a very serious thing just now, right?

His big hands were inserted along the hem of the long gown, and they were clasped tightly around his waist. The warm breath brushed against his cheeks and neck. Li Jinyan couldn't help arching his back, just to facilitate someone's movements.

"Be careful."

The voice that came into the ears in a daze made Li Jinyan sober for a moment, and then he was completely involved in the passion that could swallow everything.

His consciousness was in a mess, and he couldn't remember what he said. Only the palm with the epaulets and the general star, the military uniform cloth tightly grasped by his fingers, and the deep voice were firmly engraved in his mind.

The train continued to move forward, billowing black smoke came out from the front of the train, the wheels made a cracking sound, snowflakes floated in the sky, and everything between the sky and the earth seemed to have turned into a silvery white.

At the end of November, the third Congress of Huaxia "victory" closed.The appearance of congressmen slapping the table and throwing paper and pens finally disappeared from the important pages of major newspapers.As for whether the same scene will be staged again in the next Congress... The Buddha said: It cannot be said.

At the beginning of December, the Xinsheng Radio Broadcasting Company was established in the capital, and the major teahouses, restaurants and taverns in the capital successively displayed a novelty, a radio.

In the same month, the branch of Guanbei Department Store in Beijing officially opened. It is a two-story building. The first floor is for confectionery and food, and the second floor is for daily necessities and fabrics. Of course, the radio that the people in Beijing are particularly interested in recently is placed on the counter. The radios on the website sold out quickly.

In mid-December, Song Wu arrived in Guanbei as planned, and discussed with Li Jinyan about the establishment of a broadcasting company in Shanghai. After the contract was signed, he didn't stay long and returned in a hurry.

Although it was said that it was for business, Li Jinyan always felt that a large part of the reason why Marshal Song came and went in a hurry was because he couldn't adapt to the too cold climate in the north.

Let alone Song Wu, even Li Jinyan seldom leaves the house unless necessary. This year seems to be colder than usual.

The pace of the Second Division's offensive did not stop due to the severe cold weather. The soldiers in the six northern provinces were still advancing step by step, taking back the land that belonged to Huaxia.

At the same time, the situation in North Korea has further plunged into chaos. North Korean governor Si Nei Zhengyi's life is very difficult. While dealing with the accusations from the base camp carefully, he must try his best to encircle and suppress North Korea's resistance forces, and he must always be vigilant against the Chinese army that is eyeing Sinuiju. .

Li Dongdao's life was also uncomfortable. While leading the Korean National Salvation Army to fight the Japanese army, he had to keep suppressing different internal voices.Jin Zhengxian, who made him dislike him, is still alive and well as the battalion commander.Li Dongdao tried to get rid of him several times, but he always saved the day.

During this period, Kim Jong-sun formed a deep friendship with a "comrade-in-arms" who had rescued him twice.

At the same time, British and French colonies in Southeast Asia also fired gunshots, but this time it was not the arrogant colonists, but the local resistance to colonial forces that had never been seen by them.Their attack was so sudden that the colonial powers were caught off guard.

John Bull, who was fighting in Europe, finally realized belatedly that their backyard in Asia might be on fire.
