Chapter 371 In the United States

Just as Beizha County was fighting bloody battles, with Beizha County as the center, both China and Japan mobilized their troops one after another.

At that time, the third war zone was divided into six major war zones. According to Fang Yuxi's opinion, each of them fought scatteredly, forming a scattered but unified combat area.

By mid-September, the island army had concentrated more than ten divisions and a huge force of 300,000 troops in the Third War Zone. The Chinese side had concentrated nearly seventy divisions.

Millions of troops gathered in the third war zone, and an unprecedented war was about to break out.

For both sides, no matter which side of the battle, the outcome will be crucial, and may even affect the success or failure of the entire battle situation.

In comparison, Zheng Yong is more confident. He does not seek a big victory in the third war zone. As long as he firmly drags the island army here and waits for an opportunity to kill and injure the island army, he can complete anything.

The center of the whole of China and even the world is here.

The Third War Zone of China!

The young and handsome general with too many magical colors, the second-level general of the National Revolutionary Army, and the highest commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, Zheng Yong, became the name with the highest exposure rate in major newspapers and magazines in the world. He could see news about him and his Third War Zone on the front page almost every day.

Perhaps the last thing I want to see is Zheng Yongyuan’s wife in the United States.

Those reporters were all over the world and almost revealed the Zheng family's old foundation.

Those Europeans, especially Americans, like magical heroes the most. Especially when Zheng Yong was not yet twenty years old, he broke into the heavily guarded Lushun alone, and the legendary story of the congratulatory letter of the lone assassination of Yi was infinitely magnified.

In the writings of journalists, or romantic writers, they did not need to go through any verification, and Zheng Yong was portrayed as a teenager who killed his enemies in front of hundreds of island troops in order to "the great general who raised him since childhood."

Romantic and heroic stories are exactly what Americans are willing to hear.

Well, there is no "secret" to hide for Zheng Yong. His wife and son were all discovered by the reporters and were exaggerated with various mysterious colors.

Kong Lingyi, the daughter of the biggest rich man in China, and the niece of the highest head of China. Her husband is a hero and her wife is a socialite, which can easily arouse others' curiosity.

As for that Chunni, she was as legendary as her husband.

He can shoot and kill people. Although he is just an ordinary rural girl, during the Battle of Shenyang, he and her husband struggled among the dead.

God knows how the Americans discovered all kinds of bizarre and weird stories about Chunni in tabloids published in China.

"The Chinese girl with young eyebrows was completely unable to believe that she actually killed dozens of island soldiers with two pistols in the 'Northeast Breakout Battle' that Chinese people are proud of. At that time, she was surrounded by a child and a wounded girl. God, she rushed out like this..."

This is the exclamation made by an American writer after hearing Chunni's story.

Not long after Zheng Yong became the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone in China, Paramount Film Company announced the investment to film the color film "Flame Love" adapted from Zheng Yong and Chunni, with Paramount's popular stars Gary Coober and May West respectively playing the male and female protagonists.

Chunni doesn't know what the movie has to do with herself, but Kong Lingyi, who is more familiar with American culture, is not very satisfied.

First of all, the background of the story was moved from the Northeast during the "September 18th Incident" to the American Civil War era, which did not seem to have much to do with the heroic deeds of her husband.

The second is to choose male and female actors.

Kong Lingyi prefers Clark Gable, who has only won the title of Emperor of Movie, to play his husband, rather than Gary Coobo, who looks a little older.

Then it was about the actress’ choice.

In any case, May West, who has always been known as the "little slut", cannot be allowed to play the simple and kind Chunni. This is not very good for the Zheng family and the chairman.

The telegram was taken directly to his father Kong Xiangxi. Kong Xiangxi was very supportive of his daughter's idea. How could his son-in-law become a household name in the United States? It would be very beneficial to himself, the Kong family, and the entire National Government.

A few days later, MGM announced a tit-for-tat campaign to shoot the color movie "Bloody Freedom", with its biggest stars Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh playing the male and female leads respectively.

"Gone with the Wind", which MGM was originally planning to invest, has been delayed until next year.

It is said that behind MGM, there is capital injection from the Chinese chaebol, and of course this is just a legend.

Of course, in order to compete with Paramount, who is almost in a monopoly industry, and to be more in line with the taste of Americans watching movies, MGM still set the background in the Civil War era, but the role of her favorite male and female actors and actresses have already made Kong Lingyi feel slightly satisfied.

Zheng Yong was a little ridiculous after he found out.

If these funds for filming were used to the War of Resistance Against Japan, how much help would this be to the War of Resistance?

Why didn’t anyone know me before when I was investing in movies based on myself? It seemed like I was an outsider.

But Zheng Yong could not understand Kong Lingyi's painstaking efforts. Kong Lingyi actually thought it was very simple, which was to use the popular method of movies to sway the flag and shout for the great cause of the War of Resistance in China from another front.

In the agreement where the Kong family secretly invested in MGM, there was originally such a thing, which stated at the beginning of the movie, "Salute to all the heroes in the war against the enemy in China."

But later, due to government interference, we had to write "Salute to Mr. Zheng Yong" at the end of the movie instead.

Americans do not want to offend island countries. It is no longer easy for MGM to do this, although this makes Miss Kong a little unhappy.

At the end of September, after the news of the Eastern Front of the Third War Zone came, Bill Capeton, a famous reporter from the Los Angeles Times, the third largest newspaper in the United States, interviewed Kong Lingyi and Chunni.

The question raised by Capeton was a bit strange. He asked Kong Lingyi, based on her own judgment, how long could China resist the attack of the island country?

Capeton believes that compared with the island countries, China is at an absolute disadvantage in any aspect, and the ability to achieve previous victories was entirely accidental. Coupled with a little luck, it does not mean that China will lose if it continues to fight.

"How much does the islanders give you? I can give you double the amount!"

Kong Lingyi looked at the reporter coldly, and she noticed that Capeton's face had changed slightly.

"I don't know how long this battle will take, but as long as the Japanese pirates don't leave our territory for a day, we will stay with them to the end, ten or twenty years, even if it takes longer.

The Japanese pirates had previously arrogantly claimed that they would destroy China in a very short time. However, since the War of Resistance in Shanghai, China not only continued to fight bravely, but also suffered heavy casualties. As far as I know, the two most elite divisions of the Japanese pirates have been defeated one after another.

I am proud of my husband and do not want to hide this pride at all. Under the leadership of our chairman, he is giving the heavyest blow to the Japanese pirates.

China will not fail, and we will never fail. No matter what, we will persist. For example, when your United States is invaded, I wonder if Mr. Journalist will also ask the same question to the US president, and when will the United States resist?

There are 450 million compatriots in China, and 450 million warriors who are willing to sacrifice for their country.

Mr. Reporter, you will definitely be able to see China achieve the final victory. I can even think that it will take a few years. The Chairman, my husband and our soldiers are working hard for this goal. My husband sent us a letter before, and I can tell you a sentence in the letter.

‘As long as there is one person in the third war zone, we will definitely continue the battle!’

Sir, this is my answer to you on behalf of China!”

Capeton looked a little embarrassed. The oriental woman in front of him gave him the best counterattack in fluent English. Capeton, who has always been eloquent, didn't know how to answer for a while.

"If our son grows up and the War of Resistance is not over yet, we will continue to send our son to the battlefield."

Chunni, who had been teasing her son by the side, suddenly said.

Capeton was stunned for a moment, and Chunni smiled faintly while holding her son.

"Mr. Journalist, we are about to return to China. Our son should grow up on the land of China. He should know from a young age how many people are fighting for the country. If he grows up, he will fight with the islanders like his father."

Capeton couldn't understand what these Chinese were thinking.

The United States looks so good, with high-rise buildings, rich and far away from war. However, in another country, it is in full swing and there is danger of death at any time.

But these women actually chose to go back at this time?

Either you heard it wrong, or these two women were completely crazy...

"Yes, it's time for us to go back." Kong Lingyi smiled and answered Capeton's doubts.

"I like America very much, but no matter how good it is, it is not our home. Although our home has become broken in the war, we still have to go back. No matter how broken the place is, it is our home."

In mid-October 27, Zheng Yong, the wife of Zheng Yong, the supreme commander of the Third War Zone in China, decided to bring his son back to China.

Once the news came out, countless Chinese and American political and business people tried their best to keep them, but they were rejected by Kong Lingyi and Chunni. They had already made up their minds to be with their husbands, whether they were life or death.

Many people came to their place to see them off, and more Chinese were among them.

Just the day before departure, someone secretly sent a letter with a check of two thousand dollars in it.

"I did receive the money from the islanders. I am very ashamed. I apologize to you and to China. This check is regarded as my wish. I hope it will be of some help to your career..."

Kong Lingyi smiled brilliantly.

It's time to go home. It's been too long since I left home.

Even if the place is broken, it is our own home. There is nothing more warm than "home"...
