"Don't worry, I will step up, and the purchase will be completed within ten days at most, but then there is still a big problem, that is, how to transport the materials in. As far as I know, the Central Army has surrounded the Jiangxi base area completely." Lu Ming said.

"It's not that serious. Jiangxi is mountainous, and there are many mountain paths that the Kuomintang reactionaries don't even know about. We can sneak out of those mountain paths, and then mobilize the masses to carry things in." An Yi said. .

"Since your people can come out secretly, why can't you buy anything?" Lu Ming asked puzzled.

"The Kuomintang reactionaries are too vicious. Although they couldn't block the paths in the mountains, they robbed the people in the villages outside of their homes of food and salt. They didn't even leave them rations. We couldn't buy food and salt at all. "An Yi explained.

"How could they do this? Aren't those villagers going to starve to death?" Lu Ming didn't expect this to happen, which completely broke his three views.

"Didn't we starve to death a lot? Even though we have nothing to eat or drink, we still have to spare as much as possible to help the villagers who are on the verge of death." Mr. Dong also knew something and added.

"But...won't the central army completely lose support for doing this? No matter how they fight you, the villagers are innocent?" Lu Ming was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.

"You don't believe their viciousness, do you? If you have the opportunity to walk around, you can see everything. There are many corpses in every village, either killed by the Kuomintang reactionaries, or starved to death." An Yi said with tears in his eyes.

"Why did they do this? This is what a beast does!" Lu Mingchao almost screamed.

"They said that these villagers have been redified, they are red elements, so they deserve to die." An Yi said angrily.

"They are the ones to be damned!" Mr. Dong was also extremely angry.

"I can transport more food, as much as I want, I hope you can help those villagers." Lu Ming's eyes were also moist.

"The more food, the better. You don't have to worry about whether you can transport things into the mountains. As long as you can transport the materials to the place we designate, we will have a way to send them in." An Yi said.

"Don't worry, even if it is sent to the most urgent war zone, I can do it." Lu Ming said decisively.

Lu Ming returned to his room and immediately called Sheng Muyi: "Muyi, we need to hurry up on the procurement of materials, and we must complete the procurement as quickly as possible. The larger the quantity, the better."

"What's the matter, what happened?" Sheng Muyi was still purchasing and mobilizing supplies according to the original rhythm.

"The situation there has reached the most critical moment, and many people have starved to death." Lu Ming said.

"Don't worry, I will purchase everything within three days." Sheng Muyi said firmly.

Lu Ming calmed down, he still didn't believe what An Yi said, did she exaggerate things a bit?

If some people died of starvation in the Jiangxi base area, he believed it.

The Kuomintang Central Army implemented the siege tactics and strangled the plan to let the Communist Party's armed forces starve to death and be trapped in the mountains.

But he did not believe that the Central Army would be so cruel, taking away all the rations of innocent villagers and watching them starve to death.

How could the government of the Republic of China treat its own people like this? Didn’t the government of the Republic of China also give great relief every year when there was a famine in various places?

Is Mr. Jiang so confused?Is a government that is an enemy of its own people still a government of the people?

Lu Ming couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it, this might just be An Yi's one-sided words.

Lu Ming even wanted to take this opportunity of transporting supplies, and find an excuse to go to the war zone to check it out in person, to understand the real situation on the front line.

After calming down, he changed into a military uniform and wore a medal.

After wearing the medal, Lu Ming looked at himself in the mirror and hesitated for a moment. If Jiangxi is really like what An Yi described, this medal is not an honor, but a shame.

He went downstairs and drove to Huamao Hotel, and a familiar waiter came up to greet him as soon as he entered.

"Isn't this Master Lu? Why did you join the army?"

"No, we must all wear military uniforms for our colleagues' gathering today, so I borrowed one. How about it, does it look good in my military uniform?" Lu Ming put on a military posture.

The waiter looked at it carefully for a while, then smiled and said, "Master Lu, you look good in anything, but to be honest, you still look the most handsome in a suit."

"Thank you for your truth." Lu Ming laughed.

Lu Ming came to the reserved box, which is actually a small restaurant, specially for large organizations to have dinner together.

When the people sitting inside saw him coming in, they all stood up and saluted.

Tonight, all the staff of the Fuxing Society wore military uniforms, and Lu Ming didn't know how to give a formal military salute, so he could only put his hand on the brim of his hat and gesture, even if he returned the salute, no one dared to accuse him of substandard salute anyway.

It was the first time for people from the Fuxing Society to see Lu Ming in military uniform. They felt that Lu Ming was more heroic than usual, and he really looked like a young general.

The military's love for military uniforms is naturally incomparable to the waiters of civilian origin.

"Sir, I feel that you should wear military uniform every day. You are so handsome in military uniform, you can be an image ambassador for conscription." Zhao Yuanliang said.

"Yes, yes, yes, I agree with Director Zhao's point of view. Mr. Lu's stop at the conscription point will definitely attract many young people to sign up." The Director of General Affairs echoed.

"What, you want me to be a model, it's a dummy, a scarecrow, do I look like it?" Lu Ming joked deliberately.

"No, we support Chief Lu to wear a military uniform every day. He is heroic and handsome, and he is also energetic when he leads us." A section chief praised.

"Is this the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal? Can I touch it?" Another section chief stepped forward and said boldly.

"Of course, the honor belongs not only to me, but also to all my colleagues in Fuxingshe Shanghai Station." Lu Ming said, taking off the medal and handing it to Liu Qiwen who was beside him.

Huang Yanning, who was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel, followed behind Lu Ming, looking at the golden bean on Lu Ming's shoulder from time to time, feeling itchy in his heart.

This is a general star. Those who come out of Huangpu have this goal all their lives. They put on the uniform of a general and mobilize thousands of troops to kill the enemy!

It was also rare for Ziyuan to attend the group activities of the Fuxing Club today. She seldom participated in it before. Seeing Huang Yanning's greedy look behind Lu Ming, she couldn't help laughing.

When the two walked by, Zi Yuan grabbed Huang Yanning's clothes corner and tugged, Huang Yanning lowered her body, Zi Yuan said: "You look so ugly."

Huang Yanning straightened up and laughed, and continued to follow Lu Ming.

Today's seats are not according to the size of the official rank, but everyone is sitting scattered. Someone specially arranged Liu Qiwen's seat next to Lu Ming. Liu Qiwen knows what these people think, but she doesn't care, and instead enjoys everyone's ambiguous look.

Liu Qiwen walked to each table holding the medals in her slender hands. Everyone looked at the medals as if they were a national treasure, and some even touched them to feel the texture of the medals.

Others are fine, knowing that there is no way to compare with Lu Ming, there is no way to compare in any aspect, so they simply stop being jealous, only envy, not hate, but respect and admiration.

But Weng Bailing's heart seemed to be tormented by boiling oil. If he worked hard and caught up with a good opportunity, he would still be able to get the general, but the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal was out of the question. It was impossible in this life.

The first condition for obtaining the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is "to make an extremely outstanding contribution in the battle against foreign aggression."

What does it mean to resist foreign aggression?

That is fighting the Japanese, and fighting the Japanese is courting death, and you have to make outstanding contributions. How is that possible?There is only the possibility of contributing one life, nothing else.

This was Weng Bailing's thought when he saw the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.

Lu Ming must have bought a medal with money, and it is impossible for him to have made any outstanding contributions.

Lu Ming didn't do anything during the "December [-] Songhu Anti-Japanese War"?

By the way, Lu Ming donated 5 yuan to the 5th Route Army and the Central Teaching Corps, which he paid out of his own pocket.I understand, he bought the medal for [-] yuan.

Thinking of this, Weng Bailing felt much better.

What's the big deal, isn't it rich?Spend money to buy medals, I pooh.

However, he also admired Lu Ming's generosity. You must know that it was 5 yuan. It took almost ten years for a general to get such a salary. He, a colonel, basically spent half his life.

His current salary is only 300 yuan per month, which is not too low, and famous professors in famous universities only have such a high salary.
