Episode 24

We just gathered, and reorganization right now?

What's the point?

I also heard it would be reduced to a regiment

Might as well revoke it

Just think about it

for me, a lieutenant general

m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78

to be a colonel is to be a joke

My reputation may not be a big deal

But it's also about the reputation of the National Army

Mr. Zhou, considering the relationship between us

it is an intractable problem

I haven't even thought about that

Let me ask you something

I heard about that General Wu Mengxiang

got shot by the communists

He's in the hospital now

I need to pay him a visit

General Wu is the man who saved my life

Little Tong, come with me

I got a lot on my plate right now

You know, I can't go away

I get it

As for the reorganization, you just do what you have to do

m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78

By the way

I have picked a graveyard for Mrs. Yang's parents

But it's a bit remote

I'm worrying that she might visit them too often

and get upset

Mr. Zhou, thank you so much

You're very considerate

You're welcome

Zhao Hengxuan has come to Chongqing

Really?

It's time to avenge your Uncle San

Girls, come serve your guests

How many of you, sir?

We have awesome girls here

Just pick your favorite girl. I will get her for you

Girls

Go away

Gentlemen, please go upstairs

Sir, are you leaving?

See you later

Okay

Girl, walk him out

This way, please

This is the room

How long has he been gone?

That Zhao guy went out early in the morning

And never came back

Two other men came looking for him

They waited for a long time, but never saw him

So they're gone, too

Leave the room to us

Don't do it here

Don't worry

We just keep an eye on him

We won't alarm him for now

That's more like it

Madam

You can't tell anyone

Relax

I will keep my mouth shut

Where are you going?

Give me an address

so I can get you there

Just stop when you're told to

OK

Sir, sit down here for a minute

Why so few guests today?

Slow down

Mengxiang, are you all right?

Of course, I'm fine

Okay. Take a seat

Slow down

As soon as I got your call

Chief Bai and I came here right away

We couldn't believe it

I want to go back to Shandong as soon as possible

If the battle keeps going

the 86th Army will not belong to me anymore

Your body won't allow you to do that

But we totally understand your feelings

You can't go back with such an injury

The bullet right next to my heart

won't be removed for now

I can stick with it

I must go back

The army is the lifeblood of a soldier

If the army is gone

what will I live for?

Chief, don't worry about me

I am sure that there's no problem

The American expert hasn't come yet

So for Mengxiang, staying in Chongqing

is not much better than going back to Shandong

If he goes back, he will have the fight in Linyi

How to rest at ease?

Liu Feiyun is thinking about

how to utilize the reorganization to

buy time for

Shandong Liberated Area

If we stop the suppression of the Communist Party

then Mengxiang can rest at ease

And also

Chiang can not send the Northeastern Army

to Shandong

But how can we stop the 86th Army?

Besides, it wouldn't help even if Mengxiang goes back

If Mengxiang can go back

I do have an idea

Reorganize the 86th Army into the 86th Division

If the General Staff issues the conference announcement

of the reorganization, the morale of the troops will slump

and the battle shall be over

But during a battle

the conference announcement is usually put away

If I am there

and I have the conference announcement

I'm sure I can get the conference started

I believe Mengxiang can do it

Once the suppression stops

the Northeastern Army would have no excuse to attack

The 86th Army will be

firmly in our hands

Just let the communist army in Linyi off a bit too easy

It doesn't matter

After we mobilize the troops in the 10th Theater

we will plan it in a long run

Shandong will be ours sooner or later

The communist army won't worry us

We can talk about it later

Sir

The whole department is gone

You're the only one working overtime

The reorganization is a great responsibility

What's the hurry?

The data of reorganization

The disarmament is about to begin

I should get ready

Take care of your body

After you came back here

we haven't had time to have a talk

Sir

I have something important to report

Just a moment, please

Liang Tong wants to be the chief of the Strategic Planning Department

so it's very important to

win back Chen Cheng's trust

As arranged by the organization

Liang Tong gives Chen Cheng

He Yingqin's written directive

Distinguished Mr. Zhou To fulfill surrender agreements including the reward and protection for those who contributed to the peace talk and surrender ceremony all expenses will be taken from the seized Japanese silver ingots Please cooperate with General Zeng in properly arranging the transfer of silver ingots By He Yingqin, on March 10th

It means that the conflict between him and Zeng Guangxi is going public

But it's good

for his safety

I have got a feeling about this

Mr. Chiang asked me to call you back

I said you had an unsolved case

You couldn't come back at that moment

Mr. Chiang insisted that you should come back

I didn't ask too much

Now I know why he did that

Liang Tong

Looks like we're going to have to bear the brunt

Sir

I failed in your mission

We must take the fall for Mr. Chiang

and take the initiative

to review our mistakes

Take the initiative

Understand

Shall we destroy the written directive?

No. We should keep it

It'll come in handy

But I'm worrying that

Zhou Fohai will utilize this written directive

to escape punishment

He is a traitor to our nation after all

We won't let him go

Now you have got this written directive

As long as you hold it

he can't utilize it

to blackmail anyone

Don't worry. I will apply to Mr. Chiang

The traitor must be severely punished

Can I take this written directive

to put pressure on Zeng Guangxi privately

asking him to eliminate Zhou Fohai?

That's a good idea

He will definitely report to Mr. Chiang

It looks like we're taking the fall for Mr. Chiang

But actually, we let Mr. Chiang know in private

we are reliable

The Ministry of War is not incompetent

The Ministry of National Defense is about to be established

You will have your place there

Thanks for your instruction, Sir

Minister Zeng, this is Zhou Fohai

Zhao Hengxuan came to me again

I think I need to tell you about it

OK. I get it

I'll go visit him

I'll be waiting for you at any time

Your mom is going to sleep

She wants you to give her a massage

Okay

Bastard!

None of you is a good person!

All want me dead!

None of you is a good person!

Mom

Bastard!

Mom

What's wrong with you, mom?

Nothing

What are you doing here?

Leave me alone

I want to sleep

Go away. I want to sleep

I want to sleep

Go away

Go away

Ma Xiaoyong Colonel Adjutant of the 86th Army CPC Secret Agent

Commander, let me get your stuff down first

then I'll come back to help you down

No, thanks

I'll walk him to the car later

Yes

I'll be waiting for you downstairs

I'll leave Mengxiang to you

You must take good care of him

Please rest assured, madam

In order to control his troops

and stop the attack on the liberated areas

he's returning to Shandong

despite the injury

There's no need to rush like this

I won't be able to leave after tonight

Commandant will never let me go

Are the troops that important to you?

When I'm gone

take good care of yourself

I don't want to stay home alone

I wanna go to Shandong with you

I wish I could stay home with you

Let's go. I walk you down

The residence of Zhou Fohai, Chongqing

Minister Zeng, welcome to my humble abode

Welcome!

I feel so sorry about that

I can't go out to greet you

It's better to be cautious at this point

Eyes and ears all around

Your stay here is a secret

But don't worry

My men are just out there watching

No one will disturb you

You can relax

Thank you, Minister

Have you heard anything from Mr. Chiang?

Let's talk inside

The negotiations between Kuomintang and Communist Party

I'm sure you've read about it in the newspaper

The Communist Party has put your name

on their list

They stressed that the traitors should be severely punished

It's not the right time

Mr. Chiang

wouldn't be able to see you for now

But you don't have to worry about anything

Some things are just like that

Let them slide, then you'll find a way

I have to say it again

I will get you anything you need

but you must stay here

No contact with anyone

including phone calls

I will do as you say

General He's letter

the written directive about the silver ingots ship

Where is it now?

Zhou Fohai Eyes Only

I put it in a safe place

Did you bring it to Chongqing?

Where is the guest you take in?

Have you learned the tea ceremony?

It looks good

Let me have a try

You enjoy a good life here

Good taste

How's your injury?

You attacked General Liang without permission

Are you not afraid of me holding you to account?

You're gonna ruin my great plan by doing this

What if he's a communist?

Do you know how many big fish he's got behind him?

The big fish lives much better than me

You're my big brother!

You know the whole story!

I have been wronged, you know!

I have always served the party and the nation

If I'm dead, the world will be alright?

Then come take my life!

Stand up

Listen

I have never given up on you

Till today

you're still one of us

Big brother

As for Liang Tong

don't do anything reckless

so as not to alarm him

I have a plan

I don't know if that's reckless

and may alarm him

Go ahead

Liang Tong's wife, Yang Suya

has joined a study group of the Communist Party

We can arrest her

Go on

If you're suspecting Liang Tong of being a communist

then we probably find out more about her

And Liang Tong won't complain about

our interrogating Yang Suya

You are worth my teaching

Just do it

Good plan

I'll do it myself

You take care of one thing I can't do

What thing?

Natasha has gone to Chongqing by my arrangement

It's about Melanie

Sent someone outside the system

to kidnap Melanie

Kidnap the assistant of the American ambassador?

Well, as an escaped criminal, I'm the right person

It can't have anything to do with BIS

This is a sensitive diplomatic issue

Then I need the money

I can't offer you

We can't leave anything on the table

Here is a gold mine

No need to pity the traitor

You stay here

and get a file for me

A file?

What's that?

A written directive from He Yingqin to Zhou Fohai

about the silver ingots ship

Where is he?

Go ahead with your stuff

What's the matter with Wu Mengxiang?

Wu Mengxiang slipped out quietly yesterday

He's not back yet

The hospital is stressed

Is he at home?

I made the phone call

His wife went out early in the morning

The housekeeper said

he went back home yesterday

but did not stay at home

Where can he go with the injury?

Zeng Guangxi will be here soon

He's sent some men looking for him

Here he is

Mengxiang has gone back to Shandong

What?

Why did he go to Shandong with the injury?

Pang

General Wu asked me to arrange the plane last night

He has flown to Shandong overnight

I'm afraid he's back to the 86th Army by now

Didn't you notice his injury?

The adjutant was supporting him

I thought he was all right

I didn't know he slipped out of the hospital

He's gonna kill himself

He said the American expert would not be available for some time

It makes no difference where he stays

He's not going to have an operation for now

The bullet is still in his body

The after-effects would be a problem

Mengxiang went back to Shandong

to take revenge on the Communists

He could have waited for a while

He didn't listen to my advice

The 86th Army was newly established

A lot of eyes are kept on it

If he doesn't go back now

he won't be able to go back

You know, the army is our lifeblood

Mengxiang wanted to go back

No one could stop him

Shandong is the old base of the Communist Party

I'm afraid that

Mengxiang may have an accident

with his injury

You guys were classmates in the college

You have always been close

Maybe you can do something about it

To be honest

I'd like to have him back

I'm relieved that the 86th Army is in Wu Mengxiang's hands

If the battle doesn't come up, that will be fine

He will have a rest just in another place

But now he is fighting the Communists with his injury

It's too dangerous

How could the battle not come up?

It's definitely coming up

The conflict between Kuomintang and Communist Party was serious

Commandant has made up his mind

No

The negotiation between Kuomintang

and Communist Party has just ended

The conflict is still tolerable

Mr. Chiang won't give an explicit order

Besides, everyone's busy with the reorganization right now

No one wants a battle

I heard about the 86th Army

will be reorganized into the 86th Division

Yes, the reorganization is coming

The reorganization announcement will be issued soon

When the reorganization conference announcement comes up

the morale of the troops will slump

and the battle might not come up

Mengxiang is going for revenge

The announcement

I'll take it back anyway

How about that?

The chief office just gives the orders

And I will

contact some of my old men from the Guangxi Clique

Let's finish the reorganization first

It might work

Once Mengxiang returns to the 86th Army,

we will begin the reorganization

And he won't lose his troops

With the troops in his hands

he can complete the suppression whenever he wants to

Not necessary at this moment

The announcement of

reorganization conference

should be issued by the chief office

Liang Tong, so you…

I will issue the reorganization announcement in advance

Okay, let's do it

Then everyone is gonna do his own job

Liu Feiyun is coveting Shandong

The survival of Communist troops in Linyi, Shandong province

now is oddly connected with

the plan of the Guangxi Clique

Liu Feiyun never admits that

he is one of the Guangxi Clique

but actually, he fights for the Guangxi Clique everywhere

which can be an advantage

Liang Tong decides to take the easy option

and announce a reorganization conference

As soon as the 86th Army stops attacking

then the Communist troops in Linyi

will get a respite

Adjutant Liu, I need you here

General Liang

Announce the reorganization conference

Yes

Wu Mengxiang's injury

and how he behaves

surprise Liang Tong

Wu Mengxiang returned to the front, risking his life

What's in it for him?

Liang Tong is vaguely conscious that

Wu Mengxiang is someone

in the same camp

He can't tell

why the idea came to him in an instant

Linyi, Shandong Province

We can't fight anymore

The morale is so low

We're in a battle

and get the announcement of the reorganization

What the hell is this?

Do we Guangxi Clique

mean nothing?

Yeah, we're nothing at all

Yes

Send my order

Stop all military activities

Withdraw the whole troops

Prepare for the reorganization

But if Linyi gets a break

it's gonna be hard for us to take it down again

This battle…

Forget it until after the reorganization

I don't know who's gonna do it

Total bullshit

Demote the meritorious

I can't do such a wicked thing

We should listen to Commander

It's all over

It's all over

Ministry of War, Chongqing

Here are our opinions on the reorganization

I will consider everyone's opinion

The reorganization is a national affair

Fairness, justice, and transparency

Our demands are not excessive

Frankly

sometimes, we think in different ways

So in your opinion, Chief

What kind of fairness, justice, and transparency

would be true fairness, justice, and transparency?

That depends on how you think about it

Can you explain it more clearly?

Otherwise, we'll all be confused

Well, of course

I take Mr. Chiang's perspective

as my sole criterion

What do you mean?

Bring Mr. Chiang out

to shut us up?

I certainly wouldn't put myself

in the shoes of you Guangxi Clique

Why don't you explain to me

what's going on with Zhou Yingkui's division?

If I keep all troops of the Guangxi Clique

then you won't have a problem with that, right?

Well

I can't reason with you here

I will find someone I can reason with

Whatever

Take a good look

Don't be mistaken

Second on the left on the second floor over there

The one with the curtains down

I will do it when I'm ready

Catch her and keep her under guard

And leave her to me

Do it fast

No problem

My 18th Army, reorganized into the 11th Division

He won't even keep the designation for me

I don't understand

You should understand

Chief Chen is now in the firing line

We must make some sacrifices

Chief

The 18th Army must make the necessary sacrifices

But the Communist troops

now have great sources

All trained veterans

Listen

The disarmament is due to the empty treasury

But our decision to eliminate Communist troops

never changes

Hurley believes that

the Chinese government is fully capable of controlling the situation

and preventing the civil war

He also said

we could sever the Yalta Agreement's dependence on

the Soviet Union

The U.S. And the Soviet Union don't want a civil war in China

But actually

they have promoted the civil war in China

They want to assert their voice

in the Coalition Government

The Communist Party of China

won't give up their troops

Report!

Lieutenant Colonel Mark is here

Come on in

General Liang, long time no see

I missed you so much

Mark

All right, let's talk about it

OK

Commander Du Yuming assumed his post in Northeast China

and headed to the northeast immediately to make contact with the Soviets

to receive the sovereignty of Northeast China

But he found that

the Soviets have all withdrawn from Northeast China

The Soviets have withdrawn?

Commander Du Yuming

suggested to Mr. Chiang

that we should take over Northeast China by force

Right now we need to dispatch troops

to land from Huludao to Yingkou

covered by American warships

Mr. Chiang has agreed that

Well, we were prepared

Liang Tong, your Northeast landing plan

will be implemented soon

Our navy and air force have already made arrangements

We'll have the necessary transport

for your landing at any time

OK

General Liang

tell us your Northeast landing plan

Yes

The 13th Army and 52nd Army

lead by Commander Du

now can attack the Shanhai Pass-Jinzhou line boldly

They could seize the Shanhai Pass

before

the Northeast Democratic Allied Army arrives

and then march in two ways toward Suizhong

What do they mean?

I'm going to quit!

What the hell is going on?

That's right

So many soldiers

just get cleaned up

They lost their job

What would they do?

It's even hard to make a living

Chief, why did you just disappear?

And now I just show up

Tell me

Did Zeng Guangxi ask you to keep an eye on Liang Tong

or protect him?

Tell me who was the informant

You should all know I am in Chongqing

Only our men know that

Chief

how have you been lately?

I'm fine

I need to take care of my injury

Take a rest

You're gonna give me a ride

We're on duty right now

No one dares to touch Liang Tong

except me

It's okay

General Liang won't be out for a while

Guo, start the car

Start the car

Okay, stop

Right here

Guo Weizhang

Take it

We're good fellows

We should make a fortune together

I'm bleeding a rich guy

You can leave now

Leave

Go

Melanie, I've come to Chongqing

Mark, where are you?

Can you guess where I am?

Okay, no more game

You might call me a child again

I'm in General Liang's office

Luo Haobin asked Liang Tong to arrange the meeting

with Melanie

But he has been refused

by Melanie several times

Liang Tong estimates that

Melanie is unsure of her identity

After all, 12 years

may change her a lot

But there is one man Melanie trusts

Mark

Something's wrong, Shouren

Look at you, what's wrong?

What? Just tell me

Liang Tong disappeared

What did you say?

Did you search inside and out?

I did

Get in the car

Drive to his house. Hurry

I'm here again

Have you ever been here?

Melanie brought me here

General Liang

Sir

Mark. Welcome!

I love your shredded chicken noodles so much

Lady Melanie hasn't arrived yet

Melanie brought me here once

I miss this place

Okay

Mr. Luo is here, too

Really?

Please take Mark to our room

I will go say hello

Yes

This way, please

Mr. Luo, what a coincidence

You came here to dine, too

General Liang, I'm here to meet a friend

I came as soon as I got your call

It should be safe here

Melanie should arrive here soon

Okay

I'll meet her right here

We got lucky today

The tail behind me was also gone

I will leave

as soon as I finish the meeting

I will contact you later

Okay

See you later

See you later

Go

Get off the car

Get in

Mr. Luo

You've been waiting for a long time

Your friend

may not be here for a while

We have served you some noodles

Okay

Captain, something's wrong

She hasn't come down yet

Go

Don't move
