The heart of the pretender is sincere

When Mingtai was still studying in Paris, he mentioned to his eldest brother that he wanted to join the peripheral organization in Yan’an, but at that time Minglou, because he and Ah Cheng were already members of our party, he hoped that Mingtai could be a pure scholar If the country is in trouble, it is enough for their family to have him and Ah Cheng to contribute, and the eldest sister is also determined not to allow Mingtai to touch politics, so he has been strictly guarding against letting Mingtai do these things, but he does not want to be caught by Wang Tianfeng halfway. The lunatic was taken to the military academy and used in the death plan.

Ming Lou knew that Wang Tianfeng was crazy, and he did things without regard to the consequences. He only knew the name of the Dead Time Plan and didn't know the content at all, but there was one thing he could guess. Anyone who participated in the Dead Time Plan would die!He had to instigate against Mingtai before the death plan started in order to save his life. Now he has arranged many joint actions between the two parties. Both Dong Yan and Cheng Jinyun have become irreplaceable roles in his life, the seed It has already taken root in his heart, and it's time to blossom and bear fruit.

And Ah Cheng, according to his elder brother's order, took two cigarettes received from the customs, seemingly unintentionally but also pointedly, told Mingtai about the smuggling partnership between Juntong and No. 76, and after Ah Cheng left, Mingtai took the tweezers and carefully tore off the sticker on the cigarette, and saw the warehouse marked on it. He couldn't believe that even thinking about Guo Qiyun's trip to the ferry before, something popped up in his mind. He decided to check it out himself.

***

Wusongkou Wharf, Warehouse No. 9.

Mingtai smashed the cigar in his hand, rushed into the warehouse aggressively and looked at the stacked containers one by one. He already had the answer in his heart, suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked casually, "What's in it?" What is it?"

Guo Qiyun answered cautiously, "They are all strategic materials."

"Open."

"Leader..."

The secretive look made Mingtai even more angry, and he shouted at Guo Qiyun, "I let you open it!"

Guo Qiyun knew something bad was going to happen, so he didn't care about the relationship between superiors and subordinates, "I'm sorry, the team leader, I received the ferry order directly from Chongqing No. [-], and it was approved by the station manager Ning. I have the right to deal with it!"

Mingtai smiled, the smile was full of bitterness and sarcasm, Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli wanted to stop Mingtai from opening the box when they saw Mingtai, but Mingtai became ruthless and pushed them away vigorously. Qiyun had known for a long time that these things would be hidden one day, so he held Yu Manli back, and the two just watched helplessly as Mingtai opened these boxes one by one, revealing the neatly arranged cigarettes inside.

He couldn't believe it, so he went to open another box and it was still cigarettes, and the next one was still cigarettes, he stopped with trembling hands, he was very desperate and afraid that if he continued to open it, he might open up opium, Mingtai was furious, "This is Strategic materials?!"

Guo Qiyun came up to explain a few words, but was held down by Mingtai and grabbed his temple, "Guo Qiyun, how many brothers paid for this transportation line with their lives, but you use him to cause national disaster Cai, have you lived to the end?!"

"I am a soldier, and the bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and I perform tasks under the orders of my superiors." Guo Qiyun knew Mingtai's personality, and he was not worried that he would be in danger, but at the moment he was more worried about Mingtai.

Yu Manli couldn't stand it anymore, she knelt on the ground and begged, "Team leader! Guo Qiyun told the truth, I didn't tell you, I was afraid..."

"What are you afraid of!"

At this time, Yu Manli didn't care about anything anymore, she looked at Mingtai with red eyes and shouted loudly, "I'm afraid you will offend your superiors, I don't want you to die!"

At this time, Guo Qiyun also spoke earnestly, "Team leader, you are too young, you don't even know how long you have been in the army. We are working in the bureau, and if we are not careful, we will call for death. Yu Man and I The reason why Li didn't tell you is to protect you, we don't want you to be punished by your superiors for exposing this matter!"

Mingtai didn't want to hear these high-sounding reasons at all, "I will deal with you as your superior right now!"

Guo Qiyun knew that if he didn’t say something today, the matter would not be finished, so he said with a sigh of relief, “Leader, the new government has opened up this channel of supply and demand for the old regime. Smuggling arms and medicines, selling economic information to each other in exchange for the best interests of both parties, this is not a secret at all at the top! Because no one can do anything to them. Team leader, I advise you, don't be impulsive!"

"I'll go to Station Master Ning." Even if he saw it with his own eyes, Mingtai still refused to believe this fact, so he wanted to ask clearly.

Yu Manli was in a hurry, and hurried forward to hold Mingtai's hand, "Mingtai, don't go, I don't want you to die."

"let me go!"

Yu Manli couldn't hold Mingtai, Guo Qiyun became even more anxious, he was worried that Mingtai would really go, and everyone would lose their lives by then, "It's useless to find him! This smuggling operation, all stations There is something involved, but everyone tacitly understands that the new government uses the airport, port, and wharf as shares, and the largest shareholder of the entire transaction is the upper echelons of the military. At least half of the smuggling transactions are personally in charge of Ning, and our operation team only It’s just a middleman in charge of transportation, if the team leader doesn’t join forces, he will be wiped out!”

Guo Qiyun has already said what should be said and should not be said. He looked at Mingtai and knew that it would take some time for him to accept this matter. Now he only stares at Mingtai to prevent him from being impulsive. Stop in time.

Yu Manli couldn't bear to see Mingtai's lonely expression, "Mingtai, we didn't tell you, we wanted to protect you..."

Today's incident set off a huge wave in Mingtai's heart. In the past, he was proud of being able to join the military command and serve the motherland. Even if he knew that he felt sorry for his family, he never regretted it. For the first time, he questioned their country, their government, and even his beliefs. He put down the gun in his hand and walked out in a daze, muttering uncontrollably.

"The soldiers in front are fighting bloody battles. We are here to fight to the death. The exchange is indeed a speculative transaction by the national government. What are we? What are we..."

Mingtai was completely disappointed with the military command. He could understand that there were some corruption issues in the upper echelon of the military command, but he could not accept that while he and other brothers were fighting bloody battles, the upper echelon of the military command still colluded with traitors and even the Japanese, stepping on The flesh and blood of those martyrs made a fortune for the country, if he turned a blind eye to this, then he is simply unworthy of a human being!

He has the idea of ​​changing course, but he is hesitating again, he needs someone who can give him some advice.Mingtai was the first to think of Big Brother, but Big Brother and Brother Ah Cheng are both members of the military commander. If they know that he wants to be a traitor, let alone give advice, Big Brother might break his leg directly!His second candidate was the teacher Wang Tianfeng. After thinking about it, Mingtai felt that the teacher was not suitable. The teacher had stayed in Shanghai for two years before, so he must know about the smuggling, and his attitude was already obvious.As for the eldest sister, that's even worse, he must not let the eldest sister know about his joining the military command!

Finally, Mingtai thought of Lingxi, and he suddenly felt that Lingxi was a very suitable person to talk to. Lingxi knew the identities of the three brothers and helped hide it from the eldest sister, and she didn't join any organization, so she could help him more neutrally. Answer your doubts.

***

Lingxi was a little surprised that Mingtai would come to ask her this question, she thought for a long time before she said, "Before I answer your question, I have to tell you that although I don't join any party, I can barely be considered a red capitalist, so I If I answer your question, it may not necessarily be neutral, do you still want to hear my answer?"

"I want to hear it!" Mingtai nodded seriously, at this moment he couldn't find a more suitable person to confide in.

"Well, first of all, I need to ask you, what is your original intention to enter the army? Is it to serve the motherland, or do you just want to be a hero among outsiders."

Mingtai didn't understand, "Is there any difference between the two? Being a hero doesn't affect my service to the motherland."

Lingxi played with the small teacup on the stone table, "It's different, if you just want to be a hero, then you don't have to worry about these messy things, you just need to complete your mission, even if one day you die Well, in the later population, you are also a hero and hero, and you must be admired by all people."

Mingtai didn't think at all, and blurted out, "But I don't care about these things. I don't need future generations to remember me, and I don't need to be a hero. I just want to drive the Japanese away. I just hope that there will be no more wars in China. People. Family members who can live and work in peace and contentment!"

Lingxi smiled, she felt that Mingtai was really a simple child, he had a pure heart, "Okay, then I will ask you a few more questions, can you turn a blind eye to this kind of thing? This happened by accident Or has it always been there? Did the person responsible for doing this take orders from others or decide on his own? Can you change the status quo of this matter by yourself?"

"I can't turn a blind eye to it. This incident is definitely not accidental, it has always been there. People who do this are all obeying others. I... can't change the status quo."

The more he talked, the more powerless Mingtai felt. He thought about it for a day, and he made it clear in a few words from Lingxi. With a corrupt government and a group of corrupt officials, can Chongqing lead China to victory?

Lingxi patted Mingtai on the shoulder, "So you can see your heart clearly now, and you still need to make your own decision on how to choose."

"However, crows in the world are generally black. Does it mean that Yan'an must not have the problems that Chongqing has?"

"How should I put this question? Where there is light, there must be shadows. It is inevitable that there will be moths in every team, but the leader's vision is very important. If you think about the matter of smuggling by the military, if the upper echelon expressly orders Smuggling is prohibited, so if you find this smuggling route and take it away, you will be rewarded by the higher-ups, but now it is obvious that the upper-level military command is also involved in smuggling. If you really blow up the ship now and destroy this smuggling route, you Believe it or not, there is no need for the Japanese and No. 76 to arrest you, your military command will send someone to arrest you and take you to Chongqing to be sent to a military court, and what awaits you will definitely be shot."

"Yan'an is different. The leaders of Yan'an are more far-sighted. They know that their troops come from the people, and [-]% of their guerrillas are from ordinary people. Their main policy is to protect the property of the people while resisting Japan. Safety, it’s a trivial matter not to take the people’s needles and threads, but at least the people who put forward this point are thinking about the people.”

"You serve the country with sincerity and passion, but have you ever thought that if the Japanese were driven out of Chongqing and the people in Chongqing took control of the country, would the people really be happy at that time? Those who used to do smuggling The upper echelons of the military reunification have become the upper-level leaders of this country. Will the policies they formulate be people-oriented and benefit the country and the people? The Chongqing government is so dependent on the United States. It may become a puppet of the United States, have you seen the Soviet Union next door to us? What will happen if the two superpowers come into conflict and the Chongqing government is devoted to the United States!"

"I...I didn't think so much..." Mingtai suddenly went into a trance, he had never thought so far.

"It's true that I went too far. It's normal if you don't expect it, but what I want to say is that compared with the Chongqing government, Yan'an's policy is more suitable for China's current national conditions."

Mingtai was a little unconvinced, he felt that Lingxi was still partial to Yan'an, "But if we change to Yan'an, wouldn't there be corrupt officials?"

"Yes, there are corrupt officials in all dynasties, but the leaders' minds are different, and the results of things are different. Qianlong protected Heshen, so Heshen was able to corrupt so much money, but Jiaqing gave Heshen as soon as he came to power. Cut it off, what do you say is the difference between the two."

Mingtai suddenly understood Lingxi's meaning, "Lingxi, why are you facing Yan'an? From the overall perspective, Chongqing is the orthodox."

"I should have been influenced by my family. My parents, grandpa and grandma are all from Yan'an, so I have been influenced by my ears and eyes since I was a child, and I will be more towards Yan'an. But if you want to talk about Chongqing, look at how many people there are in Chongqing now." I personally remember Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s Three Principles of the People, and I don’t forget my original aspirations. Chongqing is because I played a good hand of cards and played poorly!”

Yes, don’t forget your original intention!Mingtai felt that he was persuaded by Lingxi, and he suddenly became curious, "Your family members are all, so why don't you join together?"

"Before I was planning to join, I even thought of a code name for myself called Gardener, which comes from the Chinese homonym called Planting Flowers. I would like to become an ordinary gardener of the Chinese nation, cultivating soil, raising seedlings, pulling weeds and repelling insects, for this I will do my best for the development of the country. But I gave up later on. You must know that my appearance is too recognizable to be suitable for the task. And the most important point is that I don’t want to hurt my eldest sister. At that time, you were all abroad. It’s really hard for the eldest sister to be alone, and it’s not been a day or two since the Japanese have been coveting the Ming family’s property.”

***

At dinner time, the eldest sister explained that as soon as Tai came back, she dragged Lingxi to the garden in a hurry and didn't know what she was doing for a long time. She didn't come back for a long time, and told Ah Cheng to call the two of them back for dinner.

When Ah Cheng came to the garden, he had no intention of eavesdropping, but he couldn't help being attracted by Lingxi's words, and unconsciously lightened his steps. He didn't hear the complete content, but he felt that maybe Uncle Li, Perhaps Mingtai's application for joining the party will be received soon.

When the two of them had finished talking, Ah Cheng reminded him, "It's time to eat, and I'm still sitting here after dark."

Lingxi saw Ah Cheng hurriedly put down the cup in his hand and walked over to him and took his hand, "Brother Ah Cheng, if you don't tell me, I will forget about eating. Today, a colleague brought me a lot of small snacks, which taste very special. Good! I wanted to leave some for you, but I ate it all before I knew it, and I'm not hungry at all now!"

Ah Cheng pinched Lingxi's nose, "Then why don't you learn from your colleagues, and then make some for me?"

"That depends on my mood..."

"Then tell me when you feel better..."

"Besides, I think I still have room in my stomach, and I can still eat a little more for dinner..."

Mingtai watched the two leave hand in hand, leaving him sitting alone on a stone bench in the garden, a gust of north wind blew by, and even though it was beginning of spring, he was still shivering from the cold, he was so big and big Can't the living Ah Cheng see it? ! !What's so great about being married? He's going to find his eldest sister, and he'll ask Miss Cheng to come over for dinner tomorrow!
