    When Shi Zhijie heard Xia Yang calling him, he looked in the direction of his finger and found a shop there with simple decoration but very busy business.

    He smiled and said: "There, it's a smoking den! Why, young master, do you like this? Then go in and tell me your name. The smoke cream inside can be cheaper for you. My old cousin is  I work here as a handyman, and I have a good relationship with the shopkeeper, so there¡¯s no problem in giving you a cheaper price.¡± After saying this, he patted his chest.

    "A place to smoke?" Xia Yang said.

    Shi Zhijie said: "That's right."

    Xia Yang walked over, looked inside along the open door, and found that there were many officers and soldiers inside.  And the people wearing all kinds of clothes were puffing away smoke inside, with very peaceful expressions on their faces.  Others were lying on the bed, looking like they had fainted, but their bodies were still twisting.

    "Good smoking paste, good smoking paste." At the door of the opium shop, there were still people shouting, soliciting customers.  Obviously, this kind of business is completely legal here and is not subject to any restrictions.

    "Are there many businesses like this in Zhongtiao Mountain?" Xia Yang asked.

    Shi Zhijie smiled, and then said: "Master, please stop teasing me, okay? You are a man who has seen the world. There are many opium dens in Zhongtiao Mountain, but they are nowhere to be found in all parts of the country.  ?¡±

    When Xia Yang heard this, he nodded secretly.

    Only then did he realize that he always seemed to measure the era in front of him by the standards of his own era.

    In his era, China was the country with the strongest anti-drug efforts in the world.  Not only is drug trafficking illegal in the country, but even drug abuse has to be thrown into a detention center and then forced to undergo detoxification.

    But now this era is different, because the National Government that rules this country now relies on this business to make money.  Not only the businessmen below, but also military and political personnel, almost all were blatantly engaged in the business of selling tobacco and soil.

    So in this place, Xia Yang was not surprised to see these opium shops and people selling opium.  If he doesn't see these things exist, it's called an accident.

    "Isn't this a war zone? Those soldiers are smoking big here, won't it affect their combat effectiveness?" Xia Yang asked.

    Shi Zhijie glanced at Xia Yang strangely and said: "Master, I didn't expect you to care about national affairs. Don't worry, the little devils can't get in. They have done it many times before. As a result, the terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain is  They can't get in at all. Just relax."

    Hearing this, Xia Yang couldn't help but sigh, and under Shi Zhijie's guidance, he walked to the other end of the town.

    Along the way, Xia Yang asked a lot.  What he didn't expect was that the internal situation in Zhongtiao Mountain at this time was even worse than he had imagined.

    In addition to those selling tobacco and soil, there are even those selling food.  If it was just a businessman selling food, Xia Yang would certainly not take it seriously.  But those who sell food are people from the army.

    That means they exchanged grain for money.  If that's the case, what do their soldiers eat?

    This reminded Xia Yang that when he was looking through the historical materials of the Anti-Japanese War, he once saw the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.  Because the time for that battle had not yet arrived, he did not check it carefully.

    But it was mentioned in it that when some national army troops were fighting the Japanese army, they fell into a situation of running out of food in less than three days.  As a result, the Japanese army surrounded them and did not even fight.  After only a few days of siege, the Chinese soldiers were so hungry that they could not even pick up their swords.  If you can't even pick up a weapon, what else can you do but surrender?

    If these things happen within your own jurisdiction.  Xia Yang might even arrest and shoot the officers who were selling tobacco and food.  But that was the requirement of the People's Liberation Army of later generations to manage his troops.

    But the vast majority of the national army is like this.  This was also an important reason for the low combat capabilities of many national military units at that time.

    They walked to the end of the town and saw several military vehicles parked there.  It seems to be waiting for someone.

    Xia Yang knew that those people were here to pick him up.  Late yesterday, he had received a telegram saying that General Wei would send someone to pick him up, but it was not certain whether he would have time to see him.

    Because General Wei was attending a meeting in Chongqing at this time, he didn¡¯t know when he would be able to return to Zhongtiao Mountain.

    "Is it Staff Chen?" Xia Yang walked over and asked directly.

    On the jeepAfter hearing this, the staff member smoking next to him put out his cigarette, then looked at Xia Yang with doubtful eyes and said, "Excuse me, is this Master Xia?"

    Xia Yang said: "Yes, Xia Yang, commander of the Fourth Division of the National Revolutionary Army."

    "Chen Dongsheng, staff officer of the First Theater Command of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered to take Commander Xia to the headquarters." Chen Dongsheng said and saluted Xia Yang with a military salute.

    After saying that, he opened the door of the jeep next to him and made a gesture of invitation.

    Xia Yang had a good first impression of this neatly dressed and somewhat polite-looking staff officer. He smiled and nodded, then turned to Shi Zhijie and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. Thank you, little brother."

    Shi Zhijie saw the scene just now and put his trembling palm into his pocket, then took out the silver dollar that Xia Yang gave him and said: "Sirsir, I  I am too blind to see the mountains. Youyou, sir, don¡¯t remember the faults of villains. The prime minister¡¯s heart can support a boat, so don¡¯t care about it.¡±

    Xia Yang suddenly smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? You deserve that piece of ocean." After saying this, he glanced at Hu San next to him, winked, and walked towards the jeep.

    Hu San sat on the passenger seat, while Xia Yang and Chen Dongsheng sat on the back seat of the jeep.

    "Mr. Xia, why didn't you inform us earlier? If you had informed us earlier, I would assign someone to carry a sedan for you and carry you in from outside Zhongtiao Mountain," Chen Dongsheng said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
