Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

"Those three Germans are really strong. They used tanks, planes, and artillery for a blitzkrieg, conquering Poland in just 27 days, Denmark in 1 day, Norway in 23 days, the Netherlands in 5 days, Belgium in 18 days, and France in 39 days!"

Commander Liu said with a sigh, "In the last European war, Britain, France and Germany were still locked in a back-and-forth, fighting positional warfare. This time, however, it was a complete rout. Fortunately, our enemy was not Germany, but the weaker Japan."

"yes!"

Political Commissar Zhang nodded in agreement: "San Dezi, single-handedly, almost swept across Europe, and even the Soviet Union suffered a series of defeats, with the battle lines pushed all the way to the vicinity of the capital, Moscow. Fortunately, this offensive was halted, otherwise..."

"And the US is really wicked. They supported the Axis powers all along, then sold equipment and resources to both sides after the war started. But when the Axis offensive weakened, they jumped in again. It's exactly like the European war!"

Commander Liu shook his head: "During both World Wars, the rest of the world was at war, but the United States profited from both ends. After consuming gold, it consumed capital, and after consuming capital, it consumed talent, ultimately becoming one of the world's two poles. It's simply reaping the benefits without lifting a finger!"

During World War II, the Soviet Union lost 2660 million people, China lost 1800 million, and the United States lost less than 30 (31.8 including those who died on its own soil).

It can be said that if the Soviet army hadn't blocked Sanders, the United States would never have had a chance to enter the fray.

"Have the two leaders finished reading?"

Xia Weiwei stepped forward and said, "I'll put it away after I've read it."

"I've watched them all!"

Commander Liu and Political Commissar Zhang both knew the importance of the documents, so they handed them over.

Xia Weiwei looked at Political Commissar Zhang and reminded him, "Commander, you must take good care of your health and not overwork yourself."

"What's wrong?"

Political Commissar Zhang suddenly asked, "Does that mean I only have a few years left to live?"

He had previously participated in the revolution and suffered a brain injury, which occasionally causes brain damage to recur.

Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan, he has been working longer and longer hours, and his brain injury has been flaring up more frequently.

Therefore, he does have some understanding of his own body.

Xia Weiwei nodded and said, "If the political commissar continues to work at such a high intensity, he will faint on the spot. If he continues to recuperate, his condition will be much better."

Although she didn't want to tell the truth, she felt it was necessary to tell him for the sake of his health.

According to her understanding, after the war, Political Commissar Zhang's brain disease became more and more serious, and he had to wear a brain-strengthening device to continue working. Later, he even fainted on the job.

By February of the following year, he was transferred back to the central government due to injury and illness, and the person who took over his work was the great architect of reform and opening up, which later led to the saying of the Liu-Deng army.

According to historical records, Political Commissar Zhang would suffer a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in 40 and pass away in 42.

Upon hearing this, Commander Liu's expression immediately turned serious.

He said to Political Commissar Zhang, "Old Zhang, your most important task now is to take good care of your health. Health is the foundation of revolution. Only by taking good care of your health can you continue to fight for the revolutionary cause!"

In fact, he had tried to persuade the other person after discovering that the other person was having a brain attack.

However, the other party declined, citing the importance of resisting Japan.

It now appears that Political Commissar Zhang's condition is still quite serious.

Commander Liu couldn't help but ask, "Xia, could you bring back some medicine from the future?"

"this……"

Xia Weiwei frowned and said, "I don't know what kind of brain disease Political Commissar Zhang has. He needs to be examined at a major hospital, but it's unclear whether he can be taken there."

"Even if we take him there, Political Commissar Zhang doesn't have an ID card, so there's no way for him to receive treatment."

"I can only try to get some medication to control the cerebral hemorrhage; as for other medications, I don't know what to buy."

"It's alright!"

Political Commissar Zhang chuckled and said, "Who can escape death in this world? If I knew that we could defeat the Japanese devils and the Kuomintang in the future and build our motherland into a superpower comparable to the United States, I would be willing to go to see Marx right now."

"Old Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Commander Liu rebuked him, "You must take good care of your health, you absolutely must take good care of your health, at the very least you must not live to see the founding of the new China!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "In that case, let Lao Xu take the things back with him. You can stay at headquarters for now and go back after Xia buys the medicine."

"During this time, you should put down your work and stop working to prevent your condition from worsening."

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang quickly shook his head: "How can that be? This is a critical moment. How can I put down my work?"

"Old Zhang, you're a patient now. You don't have to listen to me, but you have to listen to the doctor."

Commander Liu looked at Xia Weiwei and asked, "Dr. Xia, tell the political commissar if he's going to be suspended from work?"

"Yes, sir!"

Xia Weiwei said, "Given the seriousness of Political Commissar Zhang's condition, all work must be stopped immediately so he can focus on recuperating and receiving treatment. He must eat a light and nutritious diet and avoid getting angry or losing his temper..."

Political Commissar Zhang shook his head: "I can cooperate, but you can't make me not work at all. I'd rather just fall on the battlefield."

Commander Liu made the decision: "Then the workday cannot exceed 3 hours. Don't try to bargain with me, there's no room for negotiation."

Xia Weiwei pointed to the things on the ground and asked, "Commander, that meat needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, before it spoils!"

"There are only a few dozen kilograms of meat in total, which is not enough for the whole division. It's a pity that this place is too far from the central government, otherwise we could have brought some over. The leader loves braised pork the most."

Commander Liu thought for a moment and said, "Keep some for Political Commissar Zhang to help him recover, and give the rest to the wounded soldiers!"

"I don't want to!"

Political Commissar Zhang quickly shook his head: "Didn't Xia just say I wanted a light diet? This meat is so fatty, I can't eat it!"

"You!"

Commander Liu said with a smile, "Xia just said that your diet should be nutritious, and meat is the most nutritious food. If you think it's not light enough, then give the fatty meat to the soldiers and you can have the lean meat."

"Of course..."

Just as Political Commissar Zhang was about to retort, Xia Weiwei also said, "Political Commissar, I think what the division commander said makes a lot of sense."

"See? Even the doctor said so, so you, the patient, have to listen to him obediently."

As Commander Liu spoke, he picked up the bag and went outside, calling over his guards.

"Xiao Zhang!"

Commander Liu handed the plastic bag to his guard, Zhang Xixuan, and instructed, "Give these pork to the cooks. Have them cook them, keep some lean meat for themselves, and cook the rest for the wounded soldiers to recover!"

"Sir, where did this pork come from?"

Zhang Xixuan asked curiously, "I don't think I saw anyone come to deliver it just now!"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

Commander Liu glared at the other man and said, "What you need to know, I will naturally tell you."
