Although the busy military and government affairs involve Mu Yaping's energy, he is always nervous like a clock that has been tightened. But he still feels lonely in his spare time. Since Jiang Xiuli appeared, this feeling seems to be getting stronger. It seems that everything is under control, but he feels powerless when it comes to controlling women.

Generally speaking, a man is trapped by love, especially a person with noble character and a noble realm, suffers even more in the face of lust. As a person who has received education in modern civilization, Mu Yaping is not a defender of traditional morality, but he has a personal experience, so he highly respects traditional morality. On the one hand, he is the woman he loves, and on the other hand, he is the moral bottom line he strictly abides by. Mu Yaping's inner world is cruelly challenged.

Especially in the face of the simple, innocent and beautiful suffocating Jiang Xiuli, Mu Yaping often burns with impulsive desire, but reason still defeats impulse and makes him try to control himself. Because the image of a man, the image of an excellent politician, and the image of trying to dominate the world and create a brilliant image, it hits his nerves every moment. However, lustful things, like the curse of the devil, often make people lose themselves. During this period, Mu Yaping's life order was completely disrupted.

The sun sets, and the cold night is coming. After the busy day, the long night that Mu Yaping was most worried about during this period appeared in front of him again. He stood in front of the window, staring at the vast night sky outside the window, and his thoughts couldn't help but become entangled. I don't know how long it took, but he said to himself: "So many heroes and heroes have been sad to pass the beauty since ancient times."

With a melancholy emotion, he suddenly remembered a love song he liked very much in middle school - "Outside the Window", and couldn't help but hum: "Tonight I'll come out of your window again. Your shadow on the curtains is so cute. I have loved you quietly for so many years. I'll leave tomorrow... Goodbye, my beloved dream girl, say take care of your shadow. If I never come back, let the moon be outside your window..." The beautiful and sad melody makes people enter a state of forgetfulness.

Jiang Xiuli walked towards Mu Yaping's room with a file bag intently. She found that the guard commander Zhu Richeng was listening with his ear close to the door. Just as Jiang Xiuli was about to ask, Zhu Richeng shrewd her with his hands on his lips. Jiang Xiuli approached curiously and heard Mu Yaping singing, and her beautiful melody immediately attracted her.

The last few sentences were high notes, so they were heard very clearly. Jiang Xiuli's face suddenly turned red. This straightforward chanting was not pretentious, and it was so loud that it quickly made Jiang Xiuli integrate into an indescribable mood, as if intoxicated. The singing stopped for a long time, and Jiang Xiuli was still standing there in a daze.

"I said Miss, I haven't heard enough yet!" Zhu Richeng said dissatisfied. Jiang Xiuli seemed to wake up, her face turned red, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. At this moment, she didn't know whether to go in or escape immediately. Zhu Richeng continued, "Miss Jiang, the military captains have been in a bad mood recently. Do you know why?" Jiang Xiuli asked, "Why?" Zhu Richeng glared at her fiercely and said, "It's not because of you, you haven't noticed it during this period. The military captains fell in love with you."

Jiang Xiuli, who escaped back to the room, had her heart pounding with red face, and her mind was pounding, and she sat there with a blank mind. For a long time, Zhu Richeng appeared beside him, but she didn't notice it. "It's already very late, let's go!" Jiang Xiuli was speechless along the way, and she didn't even say a word to Zhu Richeng.

That night, Jiang Xiuli had insomnia, and the girl had a worry for the first time. With the melody that shook her heart, it kept lingering in her mind. Jiang Xiuli's eyes kept appearing in front of her for this period of time, Mu Yaping's care for herself, even an action, a word she said, and a look became clear. Suddenly, she no longer regarded Mu Yaping as a respectable chief, and a hazy consciousness appeared in her heart that she could not even explain clearly. She had a certain desire.

The next day at work, Jiang Xiuli found that Zhu Richeng did not come to pick her up, but changed to a strange officer. The officer explained to him that Commander Zhu and Minister Mu went to participate in the military exercise, and he was responsible for picking up and dropping off Miss Jiang these days. For some reason, Jiang Xiuli was afraid of seeing Mu Yaping, but in a moment, she suddenly had the idea of ​​seeing Mu Yaping.

The sky was filled with autumn rain and the temperature suddenly dropped. In an empty area outside Niangzi Pass, a temporary tent stood in the wilderness. The vegetation around had lost its vitality and became desolate and withered. Many soldiers in the tent were busy, and the alert sentry stood in the autumn rain, revealing a tense atmosphere.

Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the 35th Army in the convertible, held Mu Yaping's hand and said, "Brother Mu, it is indeed out of helplessness to let you come to observe the military exercises in your busy schedule. After a period of exercise, the troops must check the training results. The Jin army has always been good at defense and weaker than attack. What we practiced this time is offense. I hope Brother Mu will not be polite and judge the problems that arise during the exercise. To be honest, we really have no rules on how to attack."

Mu Yaping said: "Our training outline is not perfect. Only after repeated exercises can we see the problem and solve it. Nothing is useful now. Let's talk about it after the exercise!" Fu Zuoyi said with concern: "Brother Mu, I found that you are not in good spirits and your eyes are black. Whether you have enough sleep, you should pay attention to your health!"

Mu Yaping smiled and said, "There are too many things, there is no way." Mu Yaping was worried that Fu Zuoyi would see his thoughts, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "This drill for the integration of infantry and artillery is the cooperation and coordination between artillery and infantry." Fu Zuoyi said, "The establishment of an independent artillery unit may be more standardized and professional. This is the first joint training after the arrangement, and I am not sure about it."

At this time, a staff officer came to report: The exercise time was up and asked if it had begun. Fu Zuoyi looked at Mu Yaping and then issued an order for the exercise. A few minutes later, the artillery position located in the rear received an order to start artillery attack. In this exercise, the artillery troops dispatched an artillery battalion, and Fu Zuoyi's troops dispatched an infantry regiment to jointly participate in the military exercise.

The rumbling sound of cannons sounded, and there was a mountain bag with a low altitude and very sparse vegetation in front of them. The exercise task was to seize the mountain bag within the specified time. With the continuous explosion of shells, Mu Yaping held up a telescope to check the results of the shelling. Seeing Mu Yaping couldn't help but frown. Fu Zuoyi shook his head unstoppable. Obviously, the two of them were very dissatisfied with the shelling, but they said nothing.

Then the commander issued an order, and the infantry regiment launched a charge. Suddenly, shouting was shocking, and various light and heavy weapons sounded. Mu Yaping put down his telescope and sat on the chair. He was in a state of no mood to watch anymore. Fu Zuoyi also had a serious expression, but he still insisted on finishing the exercise. After the exercise, Mu Yaping had a face and ordered the artillery battalion commander to call him.

After a while, the artillery battalion commander quickly arrived at the command center on a war horse. Before the battalion commander could report, Mu Yaping said to himself: "How did your cannons fire? Look at how many shells have concentrated the targets. This is how you usually train." The artillery battalion commander was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat on his head, and he aimed at the artillery commander Zhou Dai for help.

Zhou Dai had just seen the shelling situation, and said with a decadent expression: "Minister Mu will tell you that the army is negligent in training. In the past, there was no money, and the army could not fire a few shells a year. In addition, our cannons are old, and the rifle of the cannon barrels has almost been smoothed out. The shelling effect is not good, so there is no way."

Mu Yaping said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you allowed to shoot live ammunition? It's a complete excuse to say that the cannons are outdated. The hit rate of your artillery just now is only 20%, and I think there must be problems with training. Commander Zhou, artillery is a very technical group, especially the artillery commander. The next step is to vigorously rectify the artillery troops, and all unqualified commanders will be transferred. In addition, we must increase the training of technical personnel and increase the number of live ammunition shootings. Commander Zhou, I know that we are facing various difficulties at the moment, and can only base ourselves on our existing equipment. I hope you will come up with a complete report." Zhou Dai replied to the task.

Mu Yaping then smiled and said, "Brother Fu, you have seen it just now. The infantry charge has no rules and is densely formed. He is straight and does not know how to avoid it. To put it bluntly, a regiment of troops will take down the mountain. If this kind of fighting method is used, half of your regiment will be killed. One of your regiments will be destroyed."

Fu Zuoyi said helplessly: "This regiment is the best trained regiment in the entire division. Now you can see the characteristics of the Jin army's defense and the weak attack! Our Jin army has been good at defending for a long time. It can be said that we have a good way to defend and have no experience in attacking. To be honest, I am also a layman, and my officers and soldiers under my command are at a loss."

Mu Yaping understood: "Building a unit that can attack and defend well is not a one-day achievement, and it also needs to go through the test of cruel battles. But you must understand that you can defend and fight back to attack and fight in order to defeat everything. Next, we have to face the extremely vicious Japanese army. The Japanese are first-class in attack and defense, and they have the courage to sacrifice themselves. If we still stay at the current level, failure is inevitable."

Seeing the decadent expression on everyone's faces, Mu Yaping said firmly: "The Chinese nation is a nation that is not afraid of sacrifice. It is a nation with super wisdom and strong will. As long as we train hard and adopt the correct method, even if we are not as good as the other party's military equipment, we can still compete with the Japanese. I believe everyone must have this confidence."

Fu Zuoyi cheered up and said, "Brother Mu, do you have any good suggestions?" Mu Yaping pondered for a moment and said, "The training outline has been issued. I think we should focus on our wisdom and give full play to the intelligence and talents of the vast number of officers and soldiers to make up for the shortcomings of our training. We must let the officers and soldiers understand how the Japanese fight, know themselves and the enemy, and be invincible in a hundred battles. I believe you will definitely find a way to defeat the enemy." Then Mu Yaping and Fu Zuoyi conducted in-depth discussions on the problems exposed in the exercise. Mu Yaping repeatedly explained his "experience" to Fu Zuoyi. Mu Yaping hopes that Fu Zuoyi's troops will set an example, and once the training results and experience are formed, they will be promoted throughout the army.

On the way back, Mu Yaping decided not to be indecisive anymore. He would definitely show up with Jiang Xiuli after he returned and would have a break. Otherwise, it would be too energetic, and if this continues, it would be a big deal. As for what others think, he doesn't care about it.
