Chapter 32 Fairness

"Fair?" Mao Renfeng also became serious and said, "What is fairness?"

Before Ye Ruxue could answer, Mao Renfeng continued to ask: "Do you think the 58th Division made great sacrifices on Wanjialing, laying the foundation for the great victory of Wanjialing, so it should be treated the same as the 5th Pei? They should accept the cheers of the people of the whole country, and they should be praised the same?"

"Isn't that supposed?" Ye Ruxue asked, "Does the 58th Division deserve praise?"

"The 58th Division is of course worthy, and I think the 58th Division is more qualified to be praised than the 5th Pei." Mao Renfeng paused at this point, his expression turned dark, and then continued, "But Miss Ye, have you ever thought that the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division are very brave and not easy, and they should also be praised. But what about the 100,000 officers and soldiers who died on the battlefield of Songhu? What about the 100,000 officers and soldiers who died on the battlefield of Nanjing? And what about the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers who died in North China and Xuzhou? Should they be worthy of praise?"

Ye Ruxue was speechless and after a while, she argued: "This is different. The Battle of Songhu and Nanjing defense battle were all lost, but Wanjialing won..."

"No, you were wrong, we actually lost Wanjialing," Mao Renfeng interrupted Ye Ruxue, "Yes, the 10th Peak Group of Little Japan was severely damaged in Wanjialing, but at the big level, Little Japan successfully seized China's geographical heart - Wuhan, in the Wuhan Battle. We lost, and the local victory was not enough to reverse the overall defeat."

"The reason why the 5th Pei was portrayed as a typical example by the Military Commission is not because they fought well, but because they completed the final blow to the 10th Pei regiment of the Japanese 10th Pei regiment. Therefore, this halo and this honor can only fall on them. China needs heroes, and the military and civilians across the country need more encouragement, so the 5th Pei has become a model, and things are that simple."

Ye Ruxue was stunned. This was the first time she had heard such a saying. It was obviously treated differently, but she could also say it so loudly. And vaguely, Ye Ruxue felt that what the other party said actually had some truth. The reason why the Military Commission promoted No. 5 Pei was not because No. 5 Pei's military achievements were really higher than the 58th Division, but because No. 5 Pei was right at the right time, so he became a hero. Things were so simple.

Mao Renfeng continued, "Miss Ye, in order to ask for an explanation for the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division, I am very pleased that you are a reporter with a sense of justice, and that you are a young man with ideals, but don't you think you are a bit narrow-minded? Why did you only see the 58th Division, why didn't you see the millions of soldiers of the National Army who died on the Songhu battlefield, the Nanjing battlefield and various battlefields?"

After a pause, Mao Renfeng said sadly: "You can see these sacrifices. Even if these soldiers of the National Army were killed in battle, they could at least get the title of martyrs of the War of Resistance. But Miss Ye, do you know that in addition to the visible battlefield, there are actually the battlefields that you cannot see. Do you know that many officers and soldiers fighting on the secret fronts who were finally killed in battle can only be unknown, and even the title of martyrs of the War of Resistance is not destined to be with them."

Ye Ruxue looked at Mao Renfeng and couldn't speak.

Mao Renfeng smiled miserably and said, "You tell me fair, do you think this is fair?"

As he said that, Mao Renfeng picked up a list on the table and handed it over, saying, "Look at this, this is the list of personnel who have died in our Military Control Commission in the past few days. They are all well-educated and good young people, they have ideals, enthusiasm, and the determination to sacrifice their lives for the country. Do you want to hear their oath when they joined the Military Control Commission?"

Ye Ruxue took the list and glanced at it. The first line was written with the name Sun Jing, the rank of captain. The place of sacrifice was in Longkou County, southern Anhui. The time of sacrifice was two days ago. The note column read Captain Sun Jing's last words: For the sake of the party and the country, for the leader, and for the great cause of the Chinese nation's war of resistance, I am willing to give up everything, including my personal reputation.

Objectively speaking, the Military Control Commission's reputation was because it massacred a large number of Communists during the Liberation War.

However, during the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Military Control Commission still carried out some heroic struggles behind enemy lines. Most of the passionate young men with ideals and ambitions were essentially different from those strong men who were captured, driven to the battlefield and died numbly, and did not know why they fought and why they died.

With the list, Ye Ruxue was also in a complicated mood. Before that, she only thought about asking for an explanation for the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division who were treated unfairly, but she never thought that there were many martyrs in the War of Resistance against Japan who were treated unfairly, and Ye Ruxue never thought about whether these martyrs needed her to justify their names.

Not to mention others, just Xu Shijiu. Before leaving, Ye Ruxue found Xu Shijiu and told him that she would definitely ask for an explanation for the fallen officers and soldiers of the 58th Division. However, after hearing this, Xu Shijiu just smiled faintly. Ye Ruxue didn't know why Xu Shijiu was laughing, but now she finally understood that Xu Shijiu actually didn't care about the so-called reputation.

Mao Renfeng continued: "There has never been fair in this world. If we say it is unfair, who have we provoked? Why have Western powers bullied us over the years? Even the small Japanese country, a small country, is now invading us. Our large tracts of land have been lost and countless compatriots have died. This is the greatest injustice."

"If you really have to be unfair for the martyrs who died in battle, you shouldn't have to be active everywhere in Chongqing and encourage newspapers to publish articles that are completely different from the propaganda caliber of the National Government. This will cause ideological confusion among the military and civilians across the country. If you really have to be unfair for the martyrs who died in battle, you should devote yourself to the War of Resistance and complete their unfinished career."

Looking at Mao Renfeng who looked excited and talked generously, Ye Ruxue was speechless for a long time.

(Split Line)

Mao Renfeng encouraged his tongue and tried his best to lobby Ye Ru to join the secret front, Xu Shijiu also moved Niu Si Ren in Longkou County to understand the truth.

"Teacher Niu, you are also Chinese. What flows in your blood vessels is the bloodline of the descendants of Yanhuang. You are really willing to be a dog for the little Japanese. You are really willing to be like Qin Hui and Wu Sangui, and you will have to bear the credibility of thousands of years after death? A person will die. Death is heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather. Tiger Niu, you have to think clearly.

Four cows were sipping tea in small mouthfuls, just listening, not talking.

Niu Sigen has actually had the intention of rebelling for a long time, but he didn't dare to express it easily. Don't look at the guy in front of him who claimed to be a senior officer from the 74th Army, and his rank is still a colonel, and now he is the captain of the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. But what do you know is that what he said is true? This is a matter of losing one's head and no mistake can be allowed.

Seeing that Niu Sigen never responded, Xu Shijiu knew that this matter was too urgent.

Xu Shijiu stood up and said goodbye, "Team Commander Niu, I have been disturbing you for a long time, and we will visit you again next day.

"Let's leave now, have lunch before leaving?" Niu Sigen tried to keep him, but the man didn't stand up at all.

Xu Shijiu smiled and bowed to Niu Sigen, and walked straight with Gao Shenxing. He watched Xu Shijiu, Gao Shenxing's figure disappeared outside the gate. Niu Sigen stood up from the Grand Master's chair and began to pace with his hands behind his back. While walking, he sighed. There were two more voices in his mind, and he was debating fiercely.

"Brother, don't hesitate." A puppet army company commander came in and said, "There are all rebellions, and we have to rebel even if we don't have this group of people. Now with this group of people to support us, the chance of success will be greater, so"

Niu Sigen couldn't make up his mind, shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

"Brother, wait until the daylily is cold again." The puppet army company commander stomped his feet and said, "And Huang Jianchun seems to have smelled something. He has been making small moves these days. If he really gets hurt, tell Xiaosi that we will never even have the chance to fight to the death."

Huang Jianchun is the commander of the Imperial Army Police Brigade and is also Liu Mazi's hardcore confidant.

However, unlike Niu Sigen, Huang Jianchun was the first person to encourage Liu Mazi to join the Japanese. Even Liu Mazi was shot, and there was also the shadow of Huang Jianchun behind it. However, the new military police captain Jungoro Koji was a person who did not follow the rules. As a result, Huang Jianchun failed to become the brigade commander, but Niu Sigen became the brigade agent.
