※The sudden heavy rain enveloped Wuhan in misty rain. The rain was clear and used by Feng City to clean up the dust in the air. The wind of the East Lake and the wind of the Yangtze River intertwined. The rain floated east and west... The thin silk, the buildings on both sides showed a dark yellow light, and all kinds of umbrellas wandered around the street like flowers. The slender high heels hit the road. The car drew a small rain curtain and flew up a string of broken jade.

The hustle and bustle of East Lake in the past has become a little quiet. A few paintings are looming in the rain and fog. The British villa surrounded by green trees on the shore is shrouded in smoke-like rain. The fine raindrops hit the green leaves, making a rustling sound.

The message from the radio in the quiet space passes through the mist and rain, and passes through the clumps of green leaves, and is clearly audible.

"According to Zhao, the German team crossed the Polish border and launched an attack on Poland, and Chamberlain expressed strong protest. Ambassador to Germany Henderson was ordered to submit a final sign to Germany, demanding that Germany stop military operations and the army must withdraw from Germany within 24 hours. "Central News Agency London News, people here believe that Britain and France declared war on Germany is about to become a reality, and the European war has broken out."

"In an interview with reporters, Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui claimed that he hopes Britain, France and Germany will remain calm and restrained, avoid rekindling the war, and hopes that the world will not be deceived by the European situation and pay more attention to Japan's aggression against China."

"AFP News, the French government announced a general mobilization of the army, and the ambassador to Germany was ordered to submit a final sign to the German government. Marshal Ganmolin claimed that the Maginot line of defense was solid and that the Germans would be corpses in front of this line of defense."

Long Yun stood in front of the window, playing with the cigarette holder in his hand. This cigarette holder was a birthday gift given to him by the French Consul in Kunming six years ago. The poetic scenery outside the window did not change his mood at all.

Since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he has served as the vice president of the Military Senate. In fact, it was only a partial loss of power in the military nursing home, and what made him worried about was the loss of Yunnan. He had requested several times to return to Yunnan for retirement, but Chiang Kai-shek politely refused. Chiang Kai-shek once asked whether he was willing to serve as deputy commander of the Third War Zone, but he refused.

Zhou Fohai looked at Long Yun's back and couldn't help but sneer. Long Yun was still dreaming of the King of Yunnan, but Chiang Kai-shek would not allow him to return to Yunnan. How could the southwest rear not be in the hands of the central government? Chiang Kai-shek allowed him to send his family to Sichuan, not Yunnan, which was a clear proof. It's a pity that he didn't see it, but this situation could be used.

The news from the radio did not change the mood of the two of them at all. Long Yun turned around and walked to the side of the coffee table, picked up the wine glass, and gently shook the wine glass. The bright red wine was like blood. Long Yun drank it in one sip. Zhou Fohai couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. The local bun is just a local bun, and such good wine is really a waste.

"As soon as the European war broke out, Britain and France would not care about the Far East. Without international restraint, Japan would probably be even more unscrupulous." Zhou Fohai was full of worries, but this was by no means his true thought. The outbreak of the European war broke out within their expectations, but their research results believe that the conclusion drawn by the Central Daily News was possible. Without the Soviet Union's restraint, Germany would likely defeat Britain and France to win the European war. Subsequently, the Soviet Union would also succumb to the German military power, and the Far East would also change greatly. Therefore, the steps to build peace with Japan must be accelerated, otherwise once the opportunity is missed, it will cost a greater price in the future.

"Let Chiang worry, I'm an idle person." Long Yun said gloomyly: "I'll go to Chongqing in a few days. I want this place to be a paradise."

Zhou Fohai laughed, and the fat on his cheeks immediately squeezed his eyes into a line, and the glasses on his nose were also piled up with fat: "Brother Zhizhou, it is better to go to heaven later. Isn't it better to be free and free in the world for a while? Kunming is known as the spring city, and all seasons are like spring. This is the paradise on earth."

"There is heaven above and Suhang below. This Suhang is heaven on earth, right?" Long Yunba glanced at him. During this period, Zhou Fohai always found reasons to visit him, but he had not paid attention at first. As the number of times increased, he couldn't help but doubt his purpose, but the other party was very nervous and did not reveal any of them.

"Suhang has been lost, and now we are in Kunming." Zhou Fohai waved his hand happily: "The young men are still in Yunnan. Is there any news recently?"

None of Long Yun's sons went to the battlefield. The eldest son Long Shengwu served as the commander of the southern Yunnan security guards, and Long Shengzu served as the brigade commander of the 58th Army. The third son Long Sheng was once an alien and liked to stay in gangs. He organized a company to run transportation on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, making a lot of money.

Longshengwu's southern Yunnan security commander was appointed by Zhuang Jihua. Long Yun ruled in Yunnan for nearly ten years, especially his ethnic minority identity was of great help to maintain the stability of Yunnan, a multi-ethnic province. Lu Han was in southern Yunnan for several years, and he also wanted to appoint his own people in his heart. Zhuang Jihua saw through his ideas. When he reorganized the Yunnan Army, Longshengwu was appointed as the commander of the southern Yunnan security commander and took his troops away.

It's been a few years since Zhoudianjing has not been to Changwu and the second son. Because he is worried about surveillance, he communicates with each other. "The second son Long Sheng and the fourth son Long Shengwen have come here several times. They learned about their situation from them and are not satisfied with their current situation. Especially Long Shengwu, he did not disappoint Long Yun's expectations and trained two brigades in southern Yunnan, almost completely controlling the ethnic minorities in southern Yunnan.

"It's not very clear." Long Yun looked at Zhou Fohai in fear. Long Shengwu's development in southern Yunnan was his only hope for returning to Yunnan. His only concern now was whether it would arouse the vigilance of Chiang Kai-shek or Zhuang Jihua. He is still just a young bird that has not grown up, and it is still time to fly high.

"They have a lot of things, and I can't go back, so that's it anyway." Long Yun's tone was a little light.

But Zhou Fohai saw a hint of satisfaction in Long Yun's eyes, and he had a little idea, so he changed the topic: "Brother Zhizhou, the situation in Europe has changed. Do you think Wuhan can defend it?"

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, so it may be difficult to defend it.

Xiao Long Yun said calmly: "Minister Zhou. Didn't the comments from the Central Daily News say? The War of Resistance is a long-term war, and space is exchanged for time. Even if Wuhan falls and retreats to the southwest, we can still resist.

Zhou Fohai smiled in his heart and contacted several times. Although Long Yun tried his best to hide his thoughts, his dual identities of soldiers and Yi people made him more straightforward. It was difficult to hide his true thoughts in his heart for a long time. Zhou Fohai knew his thoughts about returning to Yunnan.

"Retreat to the southwest, the central government will inevitably strengthen its control over the fourth, Yunnan, Guizhou, especially Yunnan, contacting Vietnam and Myanmar, is the only export to the outside world. Brother Zhizhou, Ling Gongzi, the commander of the Southern Yunnan Security Bureau, may not be able to do it for a long time.

Long Yun's hand shook, and his pipe almost fell to the ground. Zhou Fohai hit his vital point. His eyes suddenly became irritated.

Zhou Fohai said a little bit that Chiang Kai-shek would never tolerate the existence of local forces if he wanted to control the southwest, especially Yunnan, which had been conquered by force. Longshengwu might have to go to the front line, and the power in southern Yunnan would definitely not be able to stand on its own.

Zhou Fohai saw Long Yun’s worries and struck while the iron was hot: “Mr. Wang has always valued you very much. Mr. Wang advocates peace. I know that Brother Zhizhou is in charge of war, but the war has been fought until now, and it can no longer be fought. The city and land are lost in front, the people are swearing, and prices in the rear soar. You will know when you arrive in Chongqing. There are restrictions on how much food to eat every month.

Speaking of this, Zhou Fohai shook his head and sighed, and the silence came just at the lamp. Long Yun's face was unstable. On the one hand, he was really unable to see the prospects of the War of Resistance; on the other hand, he was worried about Yunnan.

"If the ministers' peace agreement can be retained on the premise of retaining national sovereignty, of course, but will the Japanese be so kind? They have occupied half of China and are they willing to withdraw without gaining anything?"

Zhou Fohai nodded in his heart, knowing that his attitude began to relax: "Mr. Wang once sent someone to contact the Japanese. From the current perspective, the Japanese agreed to withdraw their troops and not compensate for military expenses, but requested the signing of a treaty on the Communist Party of China. There is nothing else, including sovereignty, and the three northeastern provinces."

Long Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He asked in surprise: "Really? He won't station troops?" Zhou Fohai and Zheng pointed out: "If the peace agreement is reached, the Japanese side promises to withdraw troops within three months.

Long Yun couldn't help but stand up. Such conditions were more relaxed than Todman's conditions at the time. Is this possible? He was a little unbelievable: "The conditions proposed by Todman at the time were more severe than this."

Zhou Fohai smiled suddenly and shook his head softly: "I didn't understand at first, but later I understood. To be ashamed, we underestimated ourselves. The two-year war made the Japanese understand that we are not as weak as we seem. Zhuang's three wars annihilated 500,000 Japanese troops, and some changes have occurred in Japan. There are still peace in their government. If the three wars fail, the power of peace has risen. The conditions are naturally relaxed.

Zhou Fohai understood that this point must be explained clearly, otherwise it would be easy for people to think that it was a conspiracy of the Japanese, so he tried his best to explain the results of his thinking clearly.

"What's more, the European war broke out. Japan was eager to withdraw from China. If Germany won, the Southeast Asian nation would become the fruit of the Japanese."

"What about the Americans?" Long Yun asked back.

"Americans will not fight for the British and French." Zhou Fohai said lightly: "As long as Germany and Japan ignore the Americans, Americans will not fight for the British and French. Isn't that the last European war?"

Long Yun Sisai nodded and accepted. The reason why the United States participated in the war in the last cool battle was that Germany sank the American passenger ship. If this were not the case, the United States would probably not have participated in the war in the end.

"Then the Japanese always have some conditions, right? Mr. Jiang is not satisfied with such conditions? Is it completely in line with the Lushan conversation?" Long Yun was very puzzled.
