Chapter Thirty-Three: The Matter Arises

  Sometimes human calculations are not as good as heavenly ones, and sometimes what is called unexpected! In Chen Feidust's plan, after a while, when the new batch of military aid materials arrives at the train station, it will be time for him to find trouble with Vasilyev. At that time, his own benefits have not been obtained, but Vasilyev has already taken the money and become a corrupt fact. He must settle accounts with Vasilyev.

  But in reality, it didn't happen! To be exact, a sudden event occurred.

  The cause of the incident was simple, that is, when the Soviet soldiers responsible for escorting got off the train to rest, they clashed with Chen Feicheng's soldiers. Chen Feicheng's men were going to the train station to pick up allocated living supplies, which had been approved by their superiors!

  The so-called conflict was just a gang fight! As a result, an entire platoon of Soviet soldiers was knocked down, and the Manzhouli Guard Regiment responsible for guarding the train station also participated in the fight!

  Chen Feichen knew, the first reaction was good! As long as we won the fight without losing out, it's all good! Damn it! The old devils always thought that if they weren't there, the Northeast couldn't be liberated and the Japanese Kwantung Army wouldn't surrender. They were so arrogant, looking at people with their heads held high and their eyes slanted! It's a good thing they got beaten to death, they deserved it! If I were in their shoes, I'd beat them too.

  The next morning, Chen Feichen received a call from Vasilyev, asking him to come over and discuss the matter of yesterday.

  After the two met, they dismissed the others and discussed in a small parlor. Vasilyev was very arrogant, his meaning was simple, that is to hand over the murderer, let them handle it!

  Chen Feichen listened and said coldly: "Impossible! They are all my soldiers, even if it's their fault, that can't be handled by you, but me! They are all my soldiers!"

  Vasilyev's face turned sour, and he suppressed his anger, saying: "Comrade Chen Feichen, this is not a laughing matter. The consequences of this incident are very serious, it will lead to disputes between the two countries and parties! Before things get out of hand, calming down the situation is the best way out, and handing over the murderer is the wisest choice."

  Chen Fei's eyebrows rose as he said, "I know the cause of this matter very clearly. It was your soldiers who were wrong first, urinating on the supplies. These supplies are for people to wear, not trash! Even if we beat them up, it would be too light a punishment. Killing them wouldn't be excessive at all."

  Vasily couldn't hold back his anger and shouted loudly: "Enough! Now is not the time to discuss who was right or wrong. The key point is that the top has instructed me to hand over the murderer immediately. You know this matter cannot be borne by one person alone, you can't bear it, take advantage of the fact that it's still possible to hand over your subordinates now, this is a reminder to you as your friend."

  "Reminder? Ha ha, no need, I am their captain, they have something to do with me, and your soldiers are the culprits, the ones who triggered the whole event. Are you going to hand them over to us for discipline as well?" Chen Feichen retorted.

  "They are not wrong, it's the soldiers under your command who are! This is an unreasonable demand, this is a conceptual theft! It's a diversion of attention." Vasilyev was thoroughly agitated.

  Chen Feichen stood up, adjusted his uniform and said: "Vasilyev, you should know how much benefit you got from this batch of materials. As for what responsibilities need to be taken, it's not necessary for me to say more, is it? Think carefully and give me an answer tomorrow! Remember, it's tomorrow at this time."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Fei dust walked out of the living room very freely. As soon as he came out, he left with Dong Cheng who was waiting at the door with a gloomy face.

  Back at the garrison, Chen Fei immediately called Chen Mingliang and asked him to draft a telegram to report to Ye Si, asking Ye Si to meet with the Soviets. Since he himself was not of sufficient rank, then fine! Let them go talk, Ye Si would definitely help his side. When the time came, as long as he could produce favorable evidence and testimony pointing at the old Russians, let's see what they had to say. He didn't even need to win this lawsuit, just dragging it out was best! Of course, if negotiations failed, then going to war wasn't impossible either! It would be a good opportunity for him to send troops into Mongolia.

  Chen Feichen thought it was quite beautiful, but he also knew a little in his heart, that is, it's very likely that the top will compromise, after all, the main opponent now is the National Government, and the most important thing is to liberate the whole of China and establish a new regime! But he didn't dare think about this, he always thought that on principled issues, Chairman Mao and others would definitely support their own, would definitely make decisions from the height of the country.

  Chen Feichen felt as if he was not a regimental commander but an army commander or even the commander of a military region, and he would become the general commander to recover Outer Mongolia. This is just like after going through darkness and finally seeing a glimmer of light, no matter what, one must seize this opportunity.

  On the last day of October, Chen Fei was furious from early morning. His original excitement had vanished. The reason was simple: the Manzhouli Garrison Brigade called and accused him of indulging his subordinates, and even demanded that he satisfy the Soviet Union's demands! It's really unknown what these people are thinking. Traitors can be found everywhere!

  He muttered just in time to be heard by the political commissar Tang Jingwu, who walked in. Tang Jingwu frowned and said: "Fei Chen, pay attention to the influence, this kind of talk can't be spoken casually. You must keep your mouth shut from now on and understand that trouble comes from the mouth!"

  Chen Feichen said indignantly, "You don't know that the captain of the guard corps called and actually had a Soviet tone. Are the Soviets so great? So powerful? Now it's too late to flatter them? How can such a person be in a leadership position? I think it's very necessary to investigate him. Why didn't he get purged in the previous few rounds of rectification? It's really heaven being blind!"

  Tang Jingwu was a bit speechless, how could the captain think like this? Is rectification just about striking back? However, he also didn't dare to agree with the hasty decision made by the guard team. The higher-ups haven't given their response yet, so how can they make decisions on their own? Besides, since when can the guard team order the third team around?

  Tang Jingwu said in a deep voice: "What they did is very inappropriate! I think it's necessary to report this situation!"

  "Alright!" Chen Fei didn't say another word and immediately called over his aide, ordering him to draft the telegram. After signing it with his own name, he said: "Send it out at once! As soon as Headquarters responds, let me know immediately!"

  "Yes!"

  "After giving orders, Chen Fei dust looked at Tang Jingwu and said: 'Now we can't wait for death, we can't sit and wait, I have to do something, put the initiative in our hands!'"

  "Huh? What does it mean? How did you do it?" Tang Jingwu asked in a daze.
