After getting off the car, Dai Li led the way in front. We walked forward in the huge school book. We didn't know how many guard posts we passed along the way, and finally entered a garden in the presidential palace.

The Presidential Palace has been established for hundreds of years. It used to be the royal palace and later it was the Liangjiang Governor's Office and other buildings, so there are many exquisite pavilions and towers inside.

Turning over a courtyard, an exquisite building appeared in front of us.

This building is not very tall and is inconspicuous in the Presidential Palace, but the peace of mind is becoming more and more quiet and rare in the repaired garden.

As soon as I walked into the door of the hall, I heard bursts of laughter coming from inside, and the sound of music. It should be that the dance party was being held.

"Mr. Corleon is here!" When we walked to the door, the private ceremonial outside shouted.

A group of people immediately walked out of it.

This group of people, young and old, men and women, had colorful clothes, and they looked very beautiful when they came over.

However, the most eye-catching ones are the two people in the middle.

I am so familiar with the faces of these two people. Now that they appear in front of me, I can't help but be a little straightforward.

Soong Mei-ling wore a dark cheongsam with very little decoration on her clothes. Her hair was tied up, and she was very elegant and noble with her unique temperament. Her skin was very white and looked well maintained. Although she was in her thirties, she exuded a rare elegant beauty all over her body. She was indeed the first lady of the Republic of China.

The one standing beside her was wearing military uniform and smiling casually. Her hair was not as bald as I imagined, but short.

"Mr. Corleon, I'm very happy to see you!" Soong Mei-ling came over and said to me a very standard English.

"Hello madam." I shook hands with her with a smile.

"Look, let me tell you, in a foreign country, women sometimes have higher status than men. Mr. Corleone directly handed me to Meiling as soon as he came in, but he left us men aside." Chiang Kai-shek said jokingly at the people around him.

All the people laughed.

His jokes are very appropriate. Pay attention to the right level, which not only mediates the atmosphere, but also does not have the kind of jokes that are very tough.

"Mr. Corleon, I made a bet with Meiling a few days ago. I said that if you see us, you must shake hands with Meiling first, as expected." He shook hands at me, while looking up and down, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Maybe he didn't expect that I would come to his banquet in this duke outfit today.

"Chairman Jiang is right. In the United States, the status of a woman is sometimes higher than that of a man, but in our family, my status is very low." My answer surprised Chiang Kai-shek even more.

"I heard from Hanqing that Mr. Corleone speaks Chinese very well, but I didn't expect it to be so standard!" He walked into the room and took us in.

A very grand dinner was already prepared in the hall. A group of people first raised their glasses and drank together, and then moved freely, danced, and chatted.

Our group of people sat down on a terrace in the lobby.

The terrace is very large. There are rattan chairs on it, and in front are some square tables made of mahogany, with good tea on it. Downstairs is facing a small garden book. There are mountains and waters in the garden book, and there is also a large bamboo forest. The breeze whirrs, which is really refreshing.

Even my depressed mood during this period has been much more relaxed in the face of such a scenery.

Most of the time, I chatted with Soong Mei-ling. It can be seen that she is very interested in movies and is definitely a senior movie fan. Not only in movies, but also in literature, painting, photography and other aspects, she has profound attainments. When chatting with me, she actually recited the original text of Shakespeare in large sections, which made me ashamed.

Such a lady made me feel respectful.

In the end, Chiang Kai-shek saved me.

"Madam, can I let Mr. Corleon talk about men?" He leaned forward and looked at his wife and laughed in a low voice.

That look like a bronchitis, but his love for his wife's letter is hard to hide. I didn't expect that he had such a warm side, which was something I didn't know before.

I don’t know why, from the first time I came in to see him, the impression he gave me and the Chiang Kai-shek I saw in the book in later generations were completely different.

"Say, who hasn't blocked your mouth? You talk about men's affairs, I'll talk about women with Miss Holkina." Soong Mei-ling stood up and went to find Holkina.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled at his wife's back, and then sat down. On the terrace, the world of men suddenly became the world.

Apart from us, Dai Li, Lin Sen, Song Shuwen and others were all there, but they didn't see Yu Youren. I think he didn't like such occasions.

"Mr. Corleon, is this set of clothes you wear? Is it the Duke outfit?" Chiang Kai-shek was very interested in the set of clothes I wear.

"No," I nodded and laughed.

"It's indeed mighty!" He turned to Dai Li and said, "Didn't you say that the mighty military uniform is difficult to design now? Why is this outfit on Mr. Corleone so majestic? You can also refer to it."

"Yes!" Dai Li smiled.

After talking about the duke costume on my body, he asked me again: "Have you been in contact with Hanqing recently?"

His words made me suddenly alert.

"As soon as I left Shenyang, I arrived in Jinzhou at the first stop, and then went back to Shanghai directly. I have been busy editing movies during this period, but I have not contacted General Zhang." I told the truth.

The smile on Chiang Kai-shek's face disappeared. He leaned on the rattan chair, looked at the blue sky outside, sighed, and then said in his heavy Zhejiang accent: "In an intriguing autumn, the Chinese people died. Hanqing fell ill some time ago. He was recuperating in the hospital for a while, and he had to command wars while recuperating. Oh, Mr. Corleon. I forgot to tell you that he will be here tomorrow and say he will attend the premiere of your movie in person."

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea.

The rest of the people turned to look at me.

"It is a great honor for General Zhang to come with illness, but state affairs are important. Don't miss a major event for a movie." I was quite moved by Zhang Xueliang's actions.

"Mr. Corleon, this movie is not a simple movie. It is said that your movie has changed the United States and the world. Now I think this movie will change China. You are alone, you are worth ten teachers." Chiang Kai-shek gave me a very high evaluation.

"If I could be worth ten divisions, the Japanese would not be able to enter Chenyang City at all." I sneered.

This sentence made Chiang Kai-shek's face turn gloomy. Lin Sen, who was sitting next to me, quickly winked at me and signaled me to be careful when speaking. I sat on the chair and drank my tea leisurely.

"Mr. Corleon, you have been in Shenyang for so many days and witnessed the fierce battle. What do you think the Northeast Army is compared to the Japanese soldiers?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

This sentence is very subtext. I don’t have time to think clearly. I put down the cup of books and replied: “The Japanese army’s equipment and general qualities are higher than those of the Northeast Army. However, the will to fight and the determination to defend the country are far inferior. In addition, the Northeast soldiers are numerous and powerful, how can the Japanese army be compared? ^^Book.Book.Book.Book.First.Feed^^”

"Then what do you think is the reason for the fall of Chen Yang this time? Who is responsible?" Jiang Zhongzheng's words made everyone hold on.

Lin Sen looked at me, widened his eyes, worried that I would say the wrong thing.

I laughed and said, "The fall of Chen Yang is not because the Northeast Army does not fight to the death, the commander is pedantic and useless, nor is the depressed people. The biggest reason is the constraints."

"Binding?" Chiang Kai-shek frowned.

"The Northeast Army is like a tiger. At best, the Japanese Kwantung Army was just a vicious dog. The dog and tiger fight, and the result is naturally self-evident. But later, a tiger was bitten by a vicious dog. It was nothing more than someone tied the tiger's limbs and made it unable to move. If the tiger was let go, how could it talk about the sinking of the sun?" After I said something, Lin Sen and others' faces turned blue.

In their opinion, although I did not directly say that the responsibility should be borne by those who issued the order without resisting, this metaphor has clearly expressed this meaning.

Chiang Kai-shek's face was so gloomy that it was almost raining, and his expression was very ugly. The elegant style just now disappeared.

"Mr. Corleon, do you think what the situation will happen if Japan and China go to full war?" He quickly returned to normal, and a smile still appeared on his face.

"Japan will lose, China will win." I said eight words that made everyone present lit up.

"Oh, why?" Chiang Kai-shek felt energetic and said, "Japan's weapons are advanced and his national strength is prosperous. The strength in all aspects is beyond our reach. The gap between China and Japan is very big. If a war begins, let alone the Northeast Army, even the army of our country will probably be repelled by them in the end. At that time, the day of the country's destruction will be afraid that it will not be far away."

His words made the narrator Song Shuwen and others nodded repeatedly.

I sneered.

"Mr. Chairman, you are right. If China and Japan are in terms of strength, Japan is indeed much stronger. Once the war begins, the Chinese army will probably really retreat step by step in a short period of time. However, in the long run, Japan's failure is inevitable." I stood up, walked to the terrace and looked at the scenery outside, then turned around and said, "Of course, this requires a prerequisite, that is, the Chinese army must truly resist the war."

"Mr. Corleon might as well say that I am willing to listen to the high arguments." Lin Sen has always been very supportive of me. He was very happy to hear my conclusion. It was obvious that the group of people sitting on the balcony was obviously divided into two factions in their attitude towards Japan. The group led by Chiang Kai-shek himself was very afraid of Japan and believed that the gap in strength was very large and they would definitely lose in wars, but Lin Sen and others were full of confidence in China.

"Although Japan is strong, it is a small country with short resources and a small population. The fundamental reason why they attacked Chenyang this time is the Manchuria and Mongolian lifeline theory proposed by Kanr Ishihara. They are following the path of fighting to support war."

"China is different. China has many people, even if the army is weak, but the people are willing to be able to do so. Once China and Japan fight, 400 million Chinese will be united and they will definitely build a flesh-and-blood Great Wall. This battle of Shenyang proves that under the blockade of the Northeast Army, the Kwantung Army was almost wiped out, and one in ten 20 divisions was not yet available. In the early stages of the war, the Japanese army could naturally gain a lot of advantages by relying on the advantages of weapons and equipment, but what they fear most was one word: Trust! If China can fight a protracted war, the Japanese army's front line will be too long. The longer it will be, the closer they will be to the day of the destruction."

I said a few words, and the group of people nodded repeatedly.

"Well said! What a protracted battle! What a protracted battle!" Lin Sen, who was next to him, was dancing and high-five.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Corleon not only made the movie well, but he was so far-sighted in politics. This long-term battle statement is really deafening! I've been taught!" Chiang Kai-shek's previous expression of displeasure was gone, and he admired what I said very much.

But in my heart, I felt ashamed. I unconsciously borrowed the contents of Chairman Mao’s "On Protracted War".

"Mr. Corleon, what do you think about the future situation in Northeast China?" Chiang Kai-shek really regarded me as a politician.

"Mr. Chairman, I am just a moviemaker. I am not capable of handling this national event. I have been in Shenyang for so long. I watched thousands of Northeastern troops bravely killing enemies and sacrificing themselves on positions without seeing them with my own eyes. I can't understand that kind of tragedy at all. For a nation and a country, the most important thing is not the economic strength or weakness, nor the military strength. The most important thing is the national spirit, the spirit of unshakable death and never surrender!"

"China is a great country with thousands of years of civilization. It has always had a great tradition. Didn't Wen Tianxiang say that since ancient times, no one has left his loyalty to shine in history. Whether it is an official, a soldier, or a commoner, if he is a corrupt, he will definitely be scolded by people in the end."

My words made Jiang Zhongzheng's lips tremble. He held the teacup tightly, his face red and white for a while.

I guess no one dared to speak like this in front of him, leaving no affection for him in front of so many people. No one has disobeyed his opinions for a long time, and how could he bear this sarcasm?

Lin Sen next to him was frightened and looked at me with a gray face.

But unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek endured it, not only endured it, but also laughed in the end.

"Well said! Mr. Corleon said this well!" He laughed twice and nodded.

"What are you talking about? Are you talking so happily?" As she said that, Soong Mei-ling walked over.

She held Holkina's hand and was very hot. She changed into a cheongsam on Holkina's body. The cheongsam was elegant and luxurious, and you could tell at a glance that it was not worn by ordinary people.

"Look at it, is this cheongsam beautiful? I made it this month, it's a little bigger. Miss Holkina is wearing it just right, it's so beautiful." Soong Mei-ling pulled Holkina and smiled very kindly.

The person next to him nodded repeatedly.

"Don't talk about your national affairs anymore. Take the guests inside to have a good rest and relax." Soong Mei-ling put his hand on Chiang Kai-shek's shoulder and pinched him.

"Okay, okay, I'll go now, I'll go now." Chiang Kai-shek stood up, laughed, and led us into the hall.

The banquet starts at 4 p.m. and lasts until 8 p.m.

After the end, Lin Sen and others stayed to accompany Jiang Zhongzheng and said some irrelevant words before saying goodbye.

After leaving the Presidential Palace and sitting in the car, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, how about this highest-level banquet?" Fei Mu, who came to pick me up, smiled.
