Chapter 481 "Mr. Fang Zhen"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the commander-in-chief is here!"

Outside the ward, there were a large group of general-level officers from the Third War Zone. The guards hurried over. No matter who was standing in front of them, they separated the generals and made a way.

Zheng Yong walked in a hurry, and walked anxiously. He was suddenly tripped. Before the guard came up to help him up, he had already climbed up from the ground and pushed open the door of the ward regardless of everything.

"How is the Chief of Staff?"

As soon as he entered the ward door, Zheng Yong asked with a gloomy face.

"Chief of Staff Shier is awake, Shier is in a coma. When he is unconscious, he keeps chanting the name of the commander-in-chief. When he is awake, he asks if the commander-in-chief has come..."

The doctor's answer made Zheng Yong's face look unspeakable. When he looked back, the generals had followed him into the ward, and he pointed outside a bit arrogantly.

"Go out, let me go out, who told you to come in!"

"Commander-in-chief..."

At this time, a weak voice sounded behind him. Jiang Baili opened his eyes and looked at the commander-in-chief with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, let the doctor go out too. I want to talk to you alone..."

Zheng Yong waved his hand, and the doctors and nurses walked out together. Zheng Yong sat down next to Jiang Baili.

"Mr. Fang Zhen, I have transferred doctors from the United States and Britain and will be here soon..."

"I know my body, no one can do it anymore." Jiang Baili smiled slightly, not caring about his life and death at all: "I have been with you until now, just to see you again and talk to you..."

Zheng Yong's eyes were red.

"I can definitely survive it. Mr. Fang Zhen, I can definitely survive it. I know, I know, there can be no chief of staff in the Third War Zone, and I can't live without a chief of staff..."

Jiang Baili was still smiling.

"The Chief of Staff will have it. After I die, Tao Ping can hold this position. He has a quick mind and has a very good judgment on the overall situation. I believe that he will definitely become your most favorable helper, and he will definitely..."

"No, I don't want anyone. I just want you, the chief of staff!" Zheng Yong's scream became obviously unreasonable.

Jiang Baili smiled and shook his head: "Commander General, sometimes you always feel a little careless and a little childish. I am really contented to be able to survive until now, but the third war zone must continue to fight..."

"Actually..." Zheng Yong's voice suddenly became low.

"I tried every means to prolong your life, but in the end I lost your life. If I didn't let you overwork as before, this might not happen, and maybe I wouldn't let you die..."

Jiang Baili was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"

"I said that I actually knew about this day very early..." Zheng Yong's voice became deeper and deeper.

"Mr. Fang Zhen, I have always had a secret, and I have never told anyone. Maybe you won't believe it if I tell you. Whether it's the 'September 18th Incident' or the 'August 13th', when I came here, I knew that everything would happen. I avoided many tragedies, but I let some tragedies happen in front of me, such as you..."

Jiang Baili listened in a daze, and he suddenly understood that some of the things that had troubled him in the past now had the answer.

"Since this is your secret, please don't say it out loud. I just want to ask you one thing, will the War of Resistance be victorious?"

"Yes!" Zheng Yong said firmly: "The War of Resistance will definitely win. If I did not appear, the War of Resistance will officially end in the 34th year, that is, August 1945. On September 9, Okamura Yasuji, the commander-in-chief of the invading island army, will surrender to He Yingqin, the representative of the Chinese government!"

"If we count from the Battle of Shanghai, eight years, a full eight years, my expectations are not wrong!"

Jiang Baili's eyes were filled with excitement, and he even poured firepower from this news.

"I judged that after eight to ten years, the island country will be defeated. I am not wrong, I am not wrong, commander-in-chief, it seems that I am not wrong..."

"Yes, you are not wrong. Everything is ready by you." Zheng Yong tried his best to squeeze out some smiles on his face: "So you must live, because the country still needs you, and I need you even more..."

The glory disappeared from Jiang Baili's eyes again, and he shook his head bitterly.

"Don't lie to yourself anymore. In fact, you know better than me what my ending is."

Zheng Yong covered his mouth with his hands, unable to say a word.

Gently holding the commander-in-chief's hand, Jiang Baili said with difficulty: "What will happen in the future? What will our country become in the future? It's as I expected in that letter, right?"

Zheng Yong was silent for a long time before he nodded slowly, then he leaned into the chief of staff's ear and said softly for a long time. Jiang Baili's face was gloomy and clear. When Zheng Yong's mouth left his ear, he let out a long sigh.

"Why, why is this happening?"

Both of them didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, Jiang Baili looked at the person in front of him.

"Where are you, then what are you going to choose? You know the process of history, and you also know what kind of track history will follow. Which side will you stand on and which side will you help continue to change the process of history?"

"I don't know, I'm very confused..." Zheng Yong bit his lip.

"I just want to fight with the Japanese pirates, I just want to drive those beasts out of China, I have never thought about anything else, Mr. Fang Zhen, really, I never want to be gun-to-mouthed...

Sometimes I am really tired. I know that some things will happen, but some I can stop them, while others have no way to stop them. I don’t know what to do. Is there little tragedy in our country that our own people beat us?

But no matter how hard I try to do this, even if I do my best, I still can't do it. If I can exchange my life for peace, I will definitely do it without hesitation, but it won't work. Even if I am the so-called 'God of War', even if I never fail on the battlefield. If I can't do it, I'm just a pawn in their eyes..."

Jiang Baili had never seen such a commander-in-chief, and his words were filled with sadness.

But if I change my position with him, I don’t know what choice to make.

"In fact, chess pieces can also change your destiny. If I guess correctly, you must have made some preparations for your future..." Jiang Baili suddenly said.

"I don't want to ask you how you prepared, but what I want to tell you is that even if you don't think about yourself, you must consider it for those old subordinates who have been loyal to you for so many years.

In fact, your life does not belong entirely to yourself, but to your subordinates, to those soldiers who fought bloody battles for the country. When you make a decision, I hope you don’t hesitate.

Commander-in-chief, you appeared here. The War of Resistance may not take that long. I don’t know how to choose for you, but I hope that when you make a choice, you can go to my grave and tell me, so that I will be content."

His eyes became a little distracted. Zheng Yong was about to call a doctor, but was pulled by Jiang Baili. Jiang Baili said with a smile.

"Don't shout, it's useless. Commander-in-chief, instead of letting the doctor come in and waste this time, it's better for us to have a good conversation. Really, I have a lot of things to say to you..."

Seeing that the commander-in-chief stopped calling, Jiang Baili sighed deeply.

"Sometimes I keep thinking, if I could live a few more years, no, even if I live a year more, how good would it be, how much could I do? But there is no time, God is so cruel that even such a small willingness would not agree to me...

Commander-in-chief, I am not flattering you. It is meaningless to flatter you like me. I just want to tell you, thank you for coming to us so that our country and nation can reduce too much suffering. Always stick to your own path and not be influenced by anyone. I believe you will succeed.

I'm tired, really tired, I want to have a good sleep now, I will never wake up again, forever, but you are still here, and you will have to bear the burden alone in the future. I'm leaving, I'm lazy, I won't care about anything anymore, but you must not blame me, I don't want to, I don't want to..."

His voice became lighter and softer, and he could no longer hear anything...

"Mr. Fang Zhen, Mr. Fang Zhen!" Zheng Yong pushed him desperately.

But Mr. Fang Zhen fell asleep and would never wake up again.

Zheng Yong grabbed Jiang Baili's hand and placed it on his cheek. He wanted to tell Mr. Fang Zhen not to sleep anymore, and there were still many things waiting for them to do, but Mr. Fang Zhen could not hear anything...

"Mr. Fang Zhen, go to bed, go to bed, never wake up again. Things in this world have nothing to do with you, although you are still lazy. I don't blame you, I really won't blame you anymore. I know you are tired...

Mr. Fang Zhen, do you know that I am just a soldier. At least in my era, I would never have thought that there would be such a day when I would lead thousands of troops to duel with the enemy on the battlefield, but I really did it.

I want to thank you. Without you and so many brothers, I will never be able to do this. I am worthy of my own nation and my era...

Go to bed well, Mr. Fang Zhen, when you wake up, maybe everything will change. Our country and our nation will wake up like you."
