    Li Beicang touched the steel darts with trembling hands and said, "These steel darts were all made by him himself." He raised his head and said, "Xiao Fei is not ashamed, is he?"

    "He killed more than 20 Japanese killers by himself, and injured 30 others. The Japanese didn't even dare to say it because the Japanese were so embarrassed." Feng Yinbin said.

    "Good boy, good boy." Li Beicang laughed with tears in his eyes. He took a sip of wine and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, really good. Killing one is enough to earn one from killing two. Xiaofei can vent my anger for me."  . When I was young, I met a Japanese ronin who was provoking trouble in Tianjin. At that time, the Gengzi Year had just passed and the foreigners were extremely arrogant. The Japanese ronin and I originally defeated him, but the Japanese were cheating and someone used him.  Steel Ball secretly attacked me and I was defeated. I have always kept this in mind, and I often talk about it with my disciples, but I didn't expect Xiao Fei to avenge me."

    Wang Maoru understood Li Beicang's pain. It was indeed a pity for this boy. He nodded in agreement.  Feng Yinbin looked at his watch and whispered that the time was up. Wang Maoru said to Li Beicang: "Master Li, I am very sad about this. Thank you for contributing such a talent to the country, but I did not think highly of him.  "

    Li Beicang said in a deep voice: "Everyone will die one day. It may be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. That's it."

    Wang Maoru still felt guilty after leaving Yanzimen. Feng Yinbin comforted him: "Master, don't think too much. Everyone has his own destiny. Ye Nanfei is destined not to live until he is eighteen. Even if nothing happens to him in Japan this year, he will not be able to live next year.  Something will happen somewhere else. God wants to take him away. There is nothing anyone can do."

    Wang Maoru said: "Jihua, do you also believe in fate?"

    ¡°I have no religious beliefs,¡± Feng Yinbin said.  "But I discovered that people cannot live without religious beliefs. Maybe religious beliefs cannot improve the quality of our lives, but it is indeed a good thing to have a belief to support oneself when one is down. I quite believe in fate, at least for Ye Nanfei  This incident made me believe that there really is such a thing as fate.¡±

    Wang Maoru said nothing, fate.  He thought of his own child, his newly born child. Is this also fate?

    The military cocktail party in the evening is naturally indispensable for the protagonist Wang Maoru.  This cocktail party was a purely Chinese-style cocktail party, with more than a dozen tables set up for the officers to drink and socialize.  China's drinking culture has a long history, especially the drinking culture where men get along more directly.  This applies to both southern and northern men.  You can easily tell the difference between southerners and northerners even at the wine table.  Northerners tend to drink to their full capacity and drink dry. It is usually the northerners who drink up in one gulp, while southern men are more interested in personal taste when drinking. Therefore, northerners often think that southerners are boring and unhappy when drinking, while southerners think that drinking is boring and unpleasant.  When northerners drink, they try to knock each other down.

    After Wang Maoru came, everyone was actually a little high, but at least they were still awake. After Wang Maoru approached, he cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, Xiu Sheng is late."

    "Be loyal to Xiu Shuai!" Someone shouted back, and everyone immediately burst into laughter.  They all replied together: "Be loyal to Xiu Shuai!"

    "Everyone, I will punish myself with three cups." Wang Maoru was also unambiguous. He came over and asked people to fill three cups and said to everyone: "There is also a point in this self-imposed penalty of three cups. For the first cup, I am grateful to all the brothers of the National Defense Force for their kindness to me.  support, I did it!" After taking a swig, Wang Maoru raised his second cup and said: "This second cup, I salute the Chinese soldiers, whether they are the Beiyang soldiers, the Southern Revolutionary Army or the civilian army, now we are unified,  We all have a common name, the National Defense Force! We all have a common ideal, to defend our country, to open up new territories, and to leave a name in history! This second cup of mine is dedicated to the Chinese soldiers!"

    Everyone applauded, and He Rufei whispered to Li Delin: "Xiu Shuai's speech is becoming more and more powerful. It makes people's blood boil after listening to it."

    "So this is why everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for Xiu Shuai." Li Delin said with emotion, "If another person says this sentence, it will have no effect at all, but when Xiu Shuai says this sentence, it is convincing.  .¡±

    "This is ability." He Rufei smiled thoughtfully.

    Wang Maoru raised the last glass and said emotionally, "This third glass, I dedicate to the brothers who have sacrificed and retired with me over the years. They did not have the opportunity to enjoy the victory, but I, Wang Maoru, will never forget it!"  My brother, Wang Maoru, has dignity from life to death, and his deceased family members will be remembered by thousands of people after death. Because compared with them, we are enjoying the fruits they have brought to us. Our success is stepping on theirs.  Obtained from the corpses of others, they are the greatest."

    "Okay." Everyone immediately stood up and shouted.

    Wang Maoru spilled the last glass on the ground, sat on his seat again, pressed his hands together and said, "BrothersAlthough you can drink and chat, if you attend the meeting tomorrow, please control your drinking.  "Wang Maoru played a trick and spilled the last glass of toast to the dead on the ground. Naturally, there was no need to drink it. Everyone was confused and fooled by him and no one cared about it. Feng Yinbin, on the other hand, said that the master's move was very interesting.  .

    At the end of the banquet, Wang Maoru suddenly said to his subordinates: "Actually, Japan is our teacher. Japan has a lot worth learning."

    Zhao Zengfu, who rushed back from Guangdong and Guangxi, asked: "Why does Xiu Shuai say this?"

    Wang Maoru said: "Our modernized army started by learning from Japan. Our military establishment actually also started by learning from Japan. There are many things worth learning from Japan. We must learn from them and surpass them in order to defeat them. But also  One thing we need to learn is that Japan will worship soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country and place their spiritual books in the Yasukuni Shrine. Therefore, the Japanese pay homage to these soldiers all the time. And there has been a very wrong practice in our country's history.  There is a saying that a good man should not be a soldier. A soldier will pack up and leave as soon as he dies, without even leaving his name in history. Therefore, I plan to build a memorial hall for the fallen Chinese soldiers and name it the Chinese Heroes¡¯ Martyrs¡¯ Shrine.¡±

    Zhao Zengfu said: "This is a good idea, but how many martyrs' temples should be built and where should they be built?"

    Wang Maoru said: "Only build one. If you build too many, it won't matter. We only need the final destination of the spiritual faith in the heart of a soldier. Where should this Martyrs' Shrine be built? I think it should be built in Shaanxi, the birthplace of Chinese civilization. But  Wherever it is in Shaanxi, people from the Construction Department still need to investigate."

    Zhao Zengfu clapped his hands and said: "Okay, it's just a little far away. If people from the south go to Shaanxi to pay homage, it will probably take a long time to come and go."

    Wang Maoru smiled and said: "There is an advantage to building in Shaanxi. The distance to Shaanxi is the same for everyone, so it is fair to everyone."

    Although China's territory has not yet returned to its heyday in the Qing Dynasty, the surrounding landforms are gradually recovering. Of course, the most important reason is that the recovery of Mongolia made China no longer look like a rooster.  There is only one place that has not yet been recovered, and that is Tibet, which is now occupied by the British.

    The issue of recovering Tibet has not been mentioned for the time being. Only Liu Xiang from Sichuan mentioned the issue of recovering Tibet, but Wang Maoru put it aside and refused to discuss it for the time being.  The British regarded Tibet as their next Indian colony and negotiated with China many times. This was because Tibet had always been a vassal state of China, and the Tibetan monks also recognized this suzerainty.  However, the British had too much energy, and China needed development at this time. Wang Maoru did not think about establishing multiple enemies at the same time, so he could only put the issue aside.

    "It is true that China has a vast territory and rich resources, but it also has many problems. It is impossible to deal with all the problems at the same time. Things have to be prioritized. The primary issue now is to deal with the enemies in the east.

    At the cocktail party in the evening, Wang Maoru actually drank more at first, but then he didn¡¯t drink much. It was past ten o¡¯clock when everyone drank and got together. Sa Zhenbing said it was time to disperse, so everyone dispersed to go home or go back to the hotel to rest.  Of course, some people went to Bada Hutong. After being depressed for a long time, they inevitably needed a place to vent their anger. As long as they didn't cause trouble, that would be fine.  The Republic of China did not ban pornography, gambling and drugs. Although prostitution was a shameful job, it was still a way of survival. No country could eradicate these three primitive evils.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  Ban opium?  That was simply something that only an armchair strategist could think of. In later generations, someone like Chiang had ordered a ban on opium, but it was a good thing that the Chinese opium den collapsed and Japanese opium came.  The Japanese made opium look like red pills and openly sold them in Japanese pharmacies, euphemistically calling them "painkillers."  Japan earned tens of millions of dollars from China every year through red pills, and foreign opium completely occupied the Chinese market. Chiang finally had no choice but to give up the ban on opium.  For smokers who smoke big cigarettes, it doesn't matter what country, society, party or faction it is. As long as I have a big cigarette to smoke, I will do whatever I am told.

    ¡° It is really not possible to ban opium smoking by the Chinese people. A one-size-fits-all approach is very effective, but this approach is an extreme approach and will leave endless consequences.  Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Maoru still needs to use cigarettes to support his own National Defense Force funds. Therefore, Wang Maoru of the Anti-Smoking Administration treats him as his own hen that can lay golden eggs.

    Wang Maoru was clearly aware of the dangers of opium, so when selecting soldiers, he must require that the National Defense Force soldiers not smoke opium, and government officials were not allowed to smoke opium. As for the lives of ordinary people and the lives of wealthy merchants, landlords and gentry, he had no control over it, and he had no control over it.  Rights interfere with the freedom of others.  (To be continued)
