Chapter 491 Faith

The name "Chinese Expeditionary Force" was already famous as early as when the Expeditionary Force was still fighting on the Pacific battlefield... In fact, it should be said that it is "famous" here, because this reputation was spread from abroad to China.

This reputation is even even the Manzhou Kingdom occupied by the Japanese army.

Of course, what is easier to spread is the areas controlled by Principal Jiang. He can use newspapers, radio stations, etc. to spread in large quantities, and it will be relatively difficult to spread within the enemy-occupied area.

But difficulties do not mean that they cannot be spread. On the contrary, the more controlled the speech, the faster it spreads, and it is even more magical... This is mainly because in the enemy-occupied areas, including the puppet Manchukuo, the people lived under the oppression of the Japanese and puppet troops, and they urgently needed some kind of spiritual pillar to support themselves in their lives.

This is one of the reasons why the more suffering the people in ancient China, the more prosperous religion is... People are so miserable that they cannot live without hope, so they need a spiritual pillar to explain that they will continue to live, such as "suffering in this life and enjoying happiness in the next life" or "suffering in this life is to repay the debts of the previous life", otherwise they will naturally choose to go to extremes if they suffer to a certain extent.

One of the ways to "go to extremes" is to rebel... Instead of starving to death or being oppressed by officials and gentry to die, it is better to take up weapons and give it a try. At least before death, corrupt officials can live a bad life.

Therefore, the ruling class often actively advocates that the people believe in religion, which will invisibly increase the people's tolerance and reduce the frequency of "rebellion", and of course, it will consolidate the dominant position of the ruling class.

This is also why such a phenomenon occurs in modern China... The weaker the feudal superstition in the closed area is the more serious it is. As life gets better and the cultural level is getting higher and higher, the number of people with feudal superstitions decreases.

It is precisely because of this that many people online say that Chinese people have no beliefs. One of the arguments is that most Chinese people are atheists.

In fact, religion is like what is said above... On the one hand, it can be said that it is a tool used by the ruling class to rule the people and brainwash the people. On the other hand, it is used to fill the inner emptiness and become a spiritual pillar.

If you look at it the other way around, if your heart is strong enough and not empty inside, you don’t need religion to support it.

It is true that most Chinese are atheists, but this does not mean that Chinese people have no beliefs.

On the contrary, Chinese people not only have faith, but also have much firmer belief than foreigners... This belief is transformation.

When foreigners encounter certain difficulties or setbacks, they immediately think of God or a God they believe in.

What about the Chinese?

At this time, most of them think of not God, but the thoughts of a celebrity in the transformation, or an idiom, allusions...such as "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame", such as "drops of water wear away a stone", and "Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu" and so on.

These idioms and allusions are the accumulation of transformation, which represents the practices, behavioral norms or self-recognition of ancestors when they encounter difficulties over the past five thousand years. They are all done by ancestors and are considered effective and useful.

Therefore, it can also be said that what the Chinese believe in is practice, which is a real proven effective and possible thing, rather than a certain illusory god. Every time they transform, they learn in a subtle way and absorb the experience of the ancients. With such a powerful culture, of course, there is no need to support it with religion.

Get back to the point.

Although the "Chinese Expeditionary Force"'s record was blocked by the Japanese and puppet troops in the enemy-occupied area, it was inevitably brought into the enemy-occupied area by Principal Jiang's intelligence personnel and other mobile personnel. After word of mouth, it became more and more exaggerated after word of mouth. Later, there were even "Chinese Expeditionary Force" versions that were invulnerable (many Chinese people at that time believed this, and the Boxer Rebellion used the promotion of "invulnerable swords and guns" to enhance cohesion).

In other words, to some extent, the people in the enemy-occupied areas actually regarded the "Chinese Expeditionary Force" as their belief in supporting them to survive.

This is also the reason why the people are so excited that they cry when Zhang Chi reveals the name of "Chinese Expeditionary Force".

In fact, Zhang Chi was not deeply touched because she was always in front... The attack sequence of the Expeditionary Force was the second regiment as the vanguard, and Zhang Chi followed closely behind.

These two groups almost never stopped moving forward along the way. The people in the places they passed were actually liberated, but the people themselves didn't know... All this came too quickly, and there was no news yesterday. Today, the world suddenly changed a lot, and the people were anxious to come back to their senses before they came.

But... it is different in the area of ​​Luda. (Note: Luda is the collective name of Lushun and Dalian. It was renamed Dalian in 1981. my country's Luda-class destroyer was named after it)

The Luda area was occupied by the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the early morning, and then... the Third Regiment actively stationed in Lushun and Dalian. At the same time, the 5o Division followed closely and landed on the 6th from Lushun Port. A large number of supplies were also placed on the 6th with the 5o Division.

The task of the 5o Division is to follow the first and second regiments along the railway, garrison the highway and ensure the smooth flow of the railway and the highway... This is to ensure the logistics supply of the "blitzkrieg". You should know that the highway and the railway were taken down by the Expeditionary Force, but there were scattered soldiers and raiders of the Japanese and puppet troops everywhere along the road, and the Chinese troops could not spend too much time chasing them in order to achieve the effect of "blitzkrieg".

If the highway and railways are not protected by the troops, the logistics will easily be cut off by the Japanese and puppet troops, and this "blitzkrieg" will not be fought.

At the same time, the Third Regiment stationed in the harem area carried out publicity and cleaning work in the harem area... In terms of publicity, it is easy to talk about, to go to the streets and alleys to post slogans and leaflets, tell the people that the Chinese Expeditionary Force will protect the safety of the people, and let the people assist the expeditionary force in fighting the enemy together, etc.

The work of cleaning up was to capture the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops located in the Greater China and all the Japanese... As mentioned earlier, Japan actively immigrated from the so-called "development group" to China. At this time, there was a considerable proportion in the Northeast, especially in the Greater Tourism Area... There were only one million people in the Greater Tourism Area, and there were 200,000 Japanese immigrants, and one out of the five people was Japanese.
