Base System of Bashu Heroes

Liu Tianchu was slightly startled. He knew what the chairman meant. "Why does the committee say that it is angry but does not change its color? And compares me to Jing Ke? Although Jing Ke is brave, he is still a loser. Does the committee compare the past with the present? Committee

Don’t worry, Tianchu will never do anything like Jing Ke.”

The Chairman laughed for the first time, and after laughing, he said with satisfaction: "Yu Jishi has fully reported your complaints to Yu Jishi. The failure of the Wuhan Battle is not just one-sided as you described. There are more reasons for it, and you saw me

He can still be so bland, so he says he is angry but his color remains unchanged."

He really wanted to present the shortcomings of the Wuhan Battle to the Chairman of the Standing Committee in person, and he was indeed indignant about the mutual blame-passing between the various divisions and armies of the government, but it did not make him angry because he did not expect the Communist Party to win this war at all.

Victory. As for the Chairman's worries, they are completely unnecessary. He likened himself to the King of Qin just because he was afraid that the Sichuan army had some evil intentions.

Liu Tianchu was still deep in thought, and the chairman asked, "Can you come down? I'm inviting you to take a bath, not asking you to come and see me take a bath."

Liu Tianchu smiled awkwardly, got into the water, and rubbed his arms with his hands. Black mud fell down in strips, which was why he didn't go into the water.

"For soldiers on the battlefield, it's nothing to crawl around in the trenches."

Liu Tianchu was still hesitating. It was not that he was embarrassed, but that the wound on his shoulder had not completely healed and was still wrapped in a bandage. It was not that he thought he was dirty and did not want to be alone with the Chairman. He was afraid that the scheming Chairman would do something else.

The trick - the chairman of the committee must also know it, he can see it with the corner of his eye.

The chairman said: "I hate this place too. I'm used to seeing blood and soil, and it's so clean that it's blinding. But I want to find a place where I can be honest with you." He stood up from the water so that we could see each other.

To be clearer: "I don't lack scars on my body. When the shrapnel from the Northern Expedition bites me, I won't think that this person is a bloated dead body. Well, now we are all the same, the scars are military ranks

and medals.”

He looked at Liu Tianchu, then smiled: "Oh, you have more scars than me, then you are my commander today - come to me, my commander, the place is not very good, but the water is very clean, if you don't

I think I just soaked six pounds of mud here."

It was hard to reject such kindness, but how could Liu Tianchu dare to regard himself as a senior official? He hesitantly came closer, sat down by the water eye, soaked his feet with his bath water, one by one, and sighed with comfort.

She lamented, "I have not been able to enjoy such a good place for a long time. My life is quite sad."

He was deliberately making people angry, and the Chairman of the Generalissimo certainly knew it, so he looked at him sideways. He hadn't seen the Chairman look at him like this for a long time. The last time was after the Chairman of the Generalissimo shot into the air in Nanjing. The scene reappeared, and Liu Tianchu felt angry and funny.

Chairman: "I suggest you soak yourself in it completely. You need to soak yourself thoroughly and sweat thoroughly. It can clear the fire. You need to clear the fire very much recently."

Liu Tianchu was suddenly frozen there. He tilted his head and his hands were still on his feet. The Chairman looked at him very friendly. If there were any outsiders here at this time, they would think that the two of them were brothers who lived and died together.

There was something in the chairman's words, and the implication was that he was well aware of the Sichuan Army's recent military operations. The entire armored battalion was wiped out, Commander Liu Ling was killed, and he seemed to be aware of his own assassination.

So Liu Tianchu stopped being naughty, splashed into the water, and drowned himself. After a long time, his head emerged from the other side of the tray. Liu Tianchu soaked himself in the water without saying a word, and sometimes moved his arms to make himself more comfortable.

He felt the heat directly. Since Nanjing, he had rarely even taken a hot bath, let alone a hot spring. It was probably not only the old mud on his body that had melted away, but also himself.

The Chairman looked at him calmly. It seemed that he had decided to be a peaceful host today. He stretched out his hand to drag the tray floating in the middle like a boat and poured the wine on it.

Chairman: "What? You still insist on me using both soft and hard tactics to get you here."

Liu Tianchu's voice was trembling a little: "...comfortable." He squinted his eyes and said, "Is it just like this after death?" He deliberately answered the question incorrectly.

The Chairman looked at him angrily, and he managed to bring Liu Tianchu to the point: "Do you know why I invited you here alone? I originally decided to announce it at the military meeting, but after thinking about it I decided to talk to you alone."

Liu Tianchu stopped paddling and asked in a strange tone: "Why? Why do you have to talk to me alone about what is to be announced at the military meeting?"

The chairman frowned. When Liu Tianchu planned to attack Shandong in Nanjing, he once attacked him and said: Don't let me point at your body and say that you are a fool. But now, not only has most of Shandong been captured by Liu Tianchu, but it is also governed in an orderly manner.

, although the Chairman of the Generalissimo remained silent, he still had to say it. Today he was very insistent. Or maybe he is smarter now. He patted the bandage on Liu Tianchu's shoulder. "You succeeded. Not only did you capture Shandong, but you also recovered it."

There is a large area of ​​Jiangsu and Anhui territory, but what I promised at that time was only Shandong autonomy, not the Sulu War Zone? You should understand that I came here this time, I came here specifically to repay my debt."

After the Chairman finished speaking tactfully, Liu Tianchu was slightly startled, and then smiled helplessly: "I understand, the government had given up a large area of ​​Jiangsu land at that time, and it was the Sichuan Army who fought to save it without food and pay. The purpose of the committee was to return Xuzhou to the government

?Of course, you really have no shame to talk about this in a military meeting... You don’t owe debts. It’s not easy to talk nonsense about debts. If you say too much, you will take it seriously.”

The chairman's face was bruised and purple, and his expression was very embarrassing. "I have no intention of taking credit from you, but Guangzhou was lost and all access to the sea was lost. Currently, only Lianyungang is in your hands. If you want to increase foreign aid, you can only rely on Lianyungang and the Longhai Line!"

"

Since it was a private meeting, the chairman could not pressure others with orders, so Liu Tianchu did not give in at all. "In this case, the committee should go to recover Guangzhou, why do you only think about the Longhai line?"

Retaking Guangzhou was not easy, the Chairman shrugged helplessly. The two of them got into a fight again, and even through the steaming heat, they still stared at each other aggressively. In the end, the Chairman had no choice but to spread his hands and give up, without anyone mentioning it.

After a long silence, the Chairman said: "The front is tight, and I will not come to Xuzhou out of boredom to pay off my debt to you. I can pay you back after the war. I came because the front line was raging, and Chen Cheng and Yu Jishi introduced me

I heard that you are also interested in providing your ministry’s equipment?”

The muscles that had been loosened by soaking in hot water were tightened again. What could be done? It was already a physiological reaction in front of this old fox. His mind was not in Xuzhou? But the arsenal in Xuzhou? Liu Tianchu shivered suddenly in the water, that kind of

My sweat pores stood up and I was shivering, and I can still do this in a pool of hot water...

The chairman looked at him interestingly: "You are trembling, but you are not afraid."

Liu Tianchu said sarcastically: "...I'm just afraid."

The Chairman smiled: "Let's not talk about what you are afraid of. I promise you that the 23rd Army will be directly under the Ministry of Military and Government from now on. I will pay for the weapons and ammunition provided by your Ministry to the government at the price." He stretched out his hand fiercely.

It was like giving Liu Tianchu a slap in the face, but he poured water all over Liu Tianchu's face. Then he rushed over, grabbed Liu Tianchu's hair, and pushed his head into the water. Pushed it into the water. Then pulled it out, and pushed it again.

Go in - Liu Tianchu wanted to resist, but he found that the chairman's behavior was somewhere between playfulness and a warning, at least that's what he thought.

Liu Tianchu was choked to the point of dizziness, but the Chairman of the Generalissimo continued to say: "The soldier was wrapped in horse leather and died in the right place. To die on the battlefield is also my wish." He scooped Liu Tianchu's head into the water like rice, and the latter

There was almost no resistance: "But you indulge in too many favors and don't distinguish between closeness and distance. It's like destroying yourself."

He pulled the head out of the water for the last time and pushed it away. Liu Tianchu retreated to the edge of the pool, wiping his face and gasping for air. The chairman looked at him, the joking element was completely gone, and his face became

Made of iron.

The chairman took a breath and said: "You may feel sad for me about the current situation, but now I see that you feel sad too, ten times more than you." He slapped him meaningfully: "You are the one I trust the most.

people."

Liu Tianchu still looked like he was dead and alive, and he took the slap he got. He used hot water to wash his face where he had just been slapped. "The Nanjing Times Committee Chairman once said, I am the person you can talk to the most, and now I am the one you can talk to most."

You have become the most trustworthy person, do you really trust me? Dong Henan plotted every step of the way, and I was almost killed by the commission, and now I am directly under the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and I am your direct descendant? You know how to distinguish between close relatives and distance, but you can betray relatives and alienate them."
