Standing in front of this slightly outdated house, Deng Chenggong also felt that he was really unsure of coming here, because He Erdan had already said on the way here that many of his old commanders were tired of the intrigue of military career, and finally gave up the opportunity to return to the original army and was likely to be promoted. He resolutely took off his military uniform and opened an escort agency. With such a rash invitation, he was afraid that he really wanted to make some good words to convince the other party. Otherwise, why would he have to put a good military officer in the mountains and valleys and become some militia instructors?

He Erdan, who was knocking on the door, was also wondering if he was a bit too abrupt in his heart. Although he was so that these old commanders could have a good way out, he also understood why these old commanders gave up their previous status and came here to start an escort agency. Therefore, since they have come today, whether they can convince the old commanders to come out depends on the ability of the team leader. At least he has known one thing during this period, that is, although Deng Chenggong has not appointed any government, his love for the people and the officers and soldiers is obvious to all. This is why he told these old commanders after seeing that the training results of the militia training team have not been improved.

Just as He Erdan wondered why he knocked on the door a few times and no one inside responded, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the yard. Before he could figure out who would open the door, the other party's voice was already resounding in his ears.

‘What are you going to knock? I don’t know if we have to rest at night? Is there anything we can’t wait for tomorrow? I’m so angry that I’m careful to rush to the gun!’

Just from this long mouth and a very loud personality, He Erdan, who was standing in front of the door, had no need to guess that the former commander would be the commander of the former army.

Sure enough, when he saw the bald man exposed after opening the door, He Erdan stood at attention and saluted respectfully: "Hello, Battalion Commander Li, He Erdan, the second platoon leader of the third company of the 1st Battalion of the 359th Regiment."

This Battalion Commander Li was not his direct battalion commander, but because he had a period of contact with both sides when he was in the position. Therefore, Battalion Commander Li, who opened the door, was stunned when he saw that he seemed to have scolded the wrong person. But he quickly recognized who the person was from the other party's words. However, he still saw Deng Chenggong standing outside the door waiting, and from the standing positions of these people, it seemed that the people who visited late at night today seemed to be centered on Deng Chenggong.

Although Battalion Commander Li was a bit rude, he still said politely to his old subordinates of the former army: "Erdan, why is it you? Is there anything wrong with you when you come here so late?"

He Erdan said: "Yes, we came to visit late at night, mainly because of my current captain, and I want to ask Captain Hu to discuss something with you. Because the matter is more urgent, we came to disturb us late at night."

Captain!

What position is this? Battalion Commander Li, who was a little puzzled, continued: "Last time I heard from Li Zi and the others, weren't you a soldier in the Xingtai Security Corps to eat food? Why did a captain appear again today? Who is your captain? Which unit is your commander?"

Uh! After asking this, He Erdan didn't know how to explain it. At this moment, Deng Chenggong walked forward and said, "This should be the old commander of Erdan? My name is Deng Chenggong. I am really sorry to come here to visit today because I want to discuss some things with you. So, I asked He Erdan to help introduce me. As for my identity, can I invite us to come in and talk about it later?"

Seeing Deng Chenggong's temperament and style are just the same as them, and it can even be said to be even better than them. Battalion Commander Li also thinks that Deng Chenggong should not be an ordinary person, although the other party is younger than him. But nowadays, as long as he has a status and a future, being young is not a very important issue.

In addition, the person who introduced him was his former platoon leader of the 359th Regiment, and Battalion Commander Li said politely: "Yes, I'm not considering it carefully. Please! Our regiment and several brothers are here tonight. Erdan, your battalion commander is here, so you can talk well later. Since you left last time, he is still thinking about you. Today you are actually here, so tell him your current situation."

While reaching out to lead Deng Chenggong and others into the yard, Battalion Commander Li also hugged He Erdan's shoulder and smiled. This was something that was impossible to do when the original troops were in the original army. No matter what, his level was much higher than He Erdan.

When Deng Chenggong and his group appeared in the living room, Hu Guangzong and others, who were still frowning, were stunned for a moment. When the former battalion commander Qian Youlu shouted out the names of three of the five people, they were worried that they would be the annoying shopkeeper Zhu, and when they saw that the old subordinates such as He Erdan knocked on the door, they naturally felt much more relaxed. After all, He Erdan and the other two former Northeast Army soldiers were brothers who had experienced life and death with them. In addition, they were no longer in the army, and their concepts of superiors and subordinates were naturally not as strong as before.

After briefly recounting the old story, He Erdan did not forget to introduce Deng Chenggong's identity to his senior officials, and of course he did not hide anything. He directly suggested that he came here tonight to invite several senior officials to come out and go to Jiulong Mountain to serve as military training instructors of the militia training team.

Militia captain!

The word "military" is naturally familiar to Hu Guangzong and others who came from the regular army, but in order to train the militia, they even had to invite senior officers who were considered small-capable in the regular army to be instructors. This really surprised them. After all, in their opinion, teaching militias at most is just to shoot guns, and if you teach others, you will naturally not be militias. Compared with regular army, the military skills that militias need to understand do not need to be too strong, and this training naturally does not require too much effort.

Although Zhu Guangzong, who was somewhat surprised, did not understand why he invited them out to train some militias, he still said politely: "Thank you, Captain Deng for his kindness, but our brothers are tired of their military career and do not plan to join the army again. So, today may disappoint you."

Although Deng Chenggong had already guessed this result, when He Erdan introduced it just now, he could see a hint of surprise in the eyes of the former Northeast Army officers sitting in the hall, and it could even be said to be a light. However, after this light appeared, it was well concealed, and what appeared was endless sorrow.

From the changes in the eyes of these people, Deng Chenggong boldly assumed that it is not that they do not like the army, but that they do not like the army of the current era. Many times, the guns of soldiers are inward, and they are often better at treating their own people than other people. This is undoubtedly the most painful thing for any soldier who has repaid and ideals.

Thinking of these things, Deng Chenggong, who heard Hu Guangzong's answer, smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not a waste of me to meet a few anti-Japanese heroes today. I just have a few questions I want to ask Captain Zhu for advice. I wonder if Captain Zhu can tell him or her bluntly?"

Uh! Zhu Guangzong knew that the other party was a little unwilling to give up after hearing this, but he still said straightforwardly: "But if you have any questions, I will definitely accept it."

Deng Chenggong said: "On the way, I have asked Erdan about the general reasons why the commanders left the army. Although I am very clear, the current army has many political factions, and promotion and wealth are not based on military achievements, but more on suppressing political enemies, or even suppressing the army of other political factions.

To be precise, even if you have military achievements against foreign enemies, you may have more words of verbal rewards, and even if you fight too hard, you will have problems. However, if you fight your own people, you can be promoted and made a fortune as long as you win and have some background. This phenomenon of military that has lasted for decades is probably something that any soldier who has the ideal of protecting his family as a country is unwilling to face, or is the most disgusting thing. But what I want to ask Captain Zhu is, are you joining the army for promotion and making a fortune or to protect his family as a country?"

Zhu Guangzong, who was very touched by this question, said without saying a word: "Of course this is to protect the family and the country. If it is for promotion and wealth, I would not bring a group of brothers here to open an escort agency after the War of Resistance Against Japan."

‘Okay, since Captain Zhu said that you joined the army to protect your family and the country, what are you doing now? You are an excellent military commander from the Northeast Military Academy, and I can say very bluntly that your temperament and even your notes and your life are inseparable from the army. Even if you are the chief escort now, when I enter the door, I saw a loud veteran.

I am just like sitting there, not interested in politics, nor do I want to join all kinds of armies, such as the Northeast Army, the National Army, the People's Army, and even regular armies with local characteristics. If we don't join these armies, can we give up the promise we made when joining the army?

Could it be that if we leave those people, we cannot protect our family and the country to resist aggression? In my opinion, this is not the case. As long as we want to become a real soldier, there is no need to pay attention to the army you are and you belong to that faction. In my opinion, soldiers should stay away from politics. As long as they do their duty to protect their family and the country as a soldier. If I can kill a Japanese devil, I will kill one. If I can help ten people kill ten Japanese devils, I will help ten people kill Japanese devils. In my opinion, this is also a way to realize the vows of soldiers. This is also why I would rather form a militia by myself after returning to China.

In your opinion, militias may not be different from ordinary bandits. They are miscellaneous armed forces that cannot be called third-rate, but militias are also soldiers. In my opinion, militias are more like soldiers than the current regular army. They come from the countryside and from ordinary people. They understand why they fight and what they are protecting. So, I returned to my hometown and formed the current militia brigade, hoping that in the near future, when the country and hometown fall into other countries, they will have some self-protection capabilities, some ability to protect their wives, children, and children, and protect their homes.

I can help a village establish militias, so in the future, this village will not let them do whatever they want when foreign enemies invade and bandits, at least they will not let them do whatever they want. As long as the people of each village can be united, with our population and resources, I think any force that is paying attention to must carefully consider the gains and losses. This also means that in a sense, militias also have a basic concept of soldiers, that is, they can protect their families. While protecting their families, they can also attack invaders. Isn’t this another vow by soldiers to defend the country?

You all have fought surviving soldiers from the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. I believe you understand more than anyone that they are not easy to satisfy, nor are they kind-hearted people. If such a group of people appear at your doorstep or kill our relatives and compatriots in front of you, can you still sit still and ignore them? What you said about being tired of the army at that time?

I hope you can understand one truth when saying these words, that is, escaping is never a way to solve the problem. What's more, the country is destroyed and our country is undead, and you are all iron-blooded soldiers who have fought with you. Whether you admit it or not, as long as there is a heat in your chest, you will not be able to watch your compatriots and relatives be humiliated, which also means that you cannot get rid of your mission. In this case, why are you huddling in this dilapidated house and living a hard life? Although I don't know how your business is now, I can see some problems from the people sitting and the decorations in your house. That is, you are all good at fighting, and it is not easy to do business. I wonder if what I am right?"
