The trio took the elevator down to the first floor, turned the corridor decorated with beautiful bonsai, and entered the lively dining room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zheng Yi casually glanced at the reporters and businessmen from all over the world who were dining together in twos and threes, whispered a few words to Yu Jishi, went straight to the private room in front of the window that had just been vacated on the inside, sat down, took the menu handed by the waiter, looked at it slightly, and did not ask Yu Jishi and Zheng Jiemin for their opinions, and directly ordered a hearty breakfast for four people.

As soon as the courteous waiters left, two tall foreign reporters arrived quickly, and did not move until they reached the private room. Zheng Yi couldn't help but look up, quickly showed a bright smile, stood up and hugged the British reporter Kevin, who strode forward.

Kevin's face was flushed with excitement, his eyes widened, and after hugging, he took half a step back, held Zheng Yi's hands tightly, and whispered in disbelief: "Oh, my God! Dear Zheng, I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

Zheng Yi had to remind in a low voice in English: "Thank you, Kevin, thank you for remembering me, many things happened after we separated, I had to leave my army and return to normal life, the reason for which took three days and three nights to explain clearly, but I don't want to recall the previous time, please forgive me, dear Kevin." ”

Although Kevin was full of doubts, he nodded understandingly, turned sideways and solemnly introduced his companion to Zheng Yi: "This is George Brown, a war correspondent from The Times in China. Morris, unfortunately I've left The Times now and am working for The New York Times. ”

"Hello, General, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Morris, who was tall and thin and had bright eyes, took the initiative to shake hands with Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi politely greeted Yu Jishi and Zheng Jiemin, who were sitting opposite, and introduced them to the two: "Kevin, Morris, please allow me to solemnly introduce that this is Major General Yu Jishi, the attendant officer of General Jiang Shijie, commander-in-chief of the Nationalist Government, and this is Colonel Zheng Jiemin, I have known them since I was at the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou. ”

Kevin and Morris's eyes lit up, they never expected to meet high-ranking officials of the national government in the restaurant, and immediately shook hands with Yu Jishi warmly.

It's a pity that Yu Jishi and Zheng Jiemin can't speak English and can't communicate. Kevin saw the two waiters taking turns serving a sumptuous breakfast, and immediately gave up his place, and made another request to Zheng Yi:

"Dear Zheng, please forgive me for disturbing your meal, but I'm very excited, and I hope you can take the time to interview me, can you?"

Zheng Yi shook his head: "I'm not going to be interviewed anymore, if you have time, I'll invite you to have a drink in the evening, I live in room No. 6 on the top floor, and I am estimated to stay here in Nanjing for a week." ”

Kevin was very happy: "Great! I'm going to visit you tonight and introduce you to an old friend, haha! I won't bother you, see you in the evening! ”

After Kevin and the two left, Yu Jishi asked Zheng Yi with interest: "I heard that the British journalist named Kevin is very famous, and has interviewed President Jiang and important officials of the Central Committee many times, and his articles are very influential among consular officials in Europe and the United States...... How did you meet him? ”

Zheng Yi replied perfunctorily: "Have you forgotten what my eldest sister does?" ”

Yu Jishi was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "I almost forgot your old Zheng family's Oriental News Agency, your eldest sister is really powerful, the Oriental News Agency under her has surpassed the Central News Agency, and has a great influence in all walks of life across the country, I heard that even the Northwest Army has a resident reporter of the Oriental News Agency, it is simply pervasive!" ”

"When I go back, I ask my brother to take care of the reporters of the Oriental News Agency, it's not easy to make two dollars this year!" After Zheng Yi finished speaking, no matter what Yu Jishi and Zheng Jiemin thought, he picked up a piece of oatmeal bread and ate it in a big gulp.

After breakfast, Yu Jishi unhurriedly told Zheng Yi that his uncle had an invitation, Zheng Yi thought about it a little, and told the second uncle who came late to eat to stay and rest, and if he was interested, he would go out for a walk, there are many scenic spots in Nanjing City, which is very worth visiting.

Subsequently, Zheng Yi took a Ford car driven by Yu Jishi to the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army on Panlong Road.

After nearly two years of painstaking operation by the Nanjing government, Nanjing's appearance has undergone great changes, the original city gates have been renamed, not to mention, several main streets in the city have been widened and extended, and the lively scene of road construction can be seen everywhere along the way, when approaching the general headquarters, the newly paved asphalt roads have become more spacious and tidy, and the saplings that have just been planted on both sides have also spit out a little shoots.

The Ford sedan, with the license plate of the General Headquarters, slowed down at the heavily guarded gate.

Zheng Yi looked sideways and saw the guards wearing a new steel helmet made by himself and a self-made M1929 submachine gun on his shoulder, and couldn't help but smile a little.

The car entered the compound, went straight all the way, swept past the central flower bed, turned to Lin *** on the east side, passed by three villa-style office buildings that had been completed recently, turned south, drove to the independent courtyard of the military demand department, and came to the two-storey Western-style office building and stopped slowly.

"Let's go, I'll go up with you, the minister's office is on the east end of the second floor." Yu Jishi tidied up the military uniform on his body slightly, opened the door from the other side and got out of the car.

Zheng Jiemin, who was sitting in the passenger seat in front, didn't move, just turned around and smiled at Zheng Yi friendlyly, without the slightest intention of getting out of the car.

Zheng Yi nodded to Zheng Jiemin, pushed the car door and got out of the carriage, glanced at the few young lieutenants who passed by the car and looked at him in surprise, and followed Yu Ji side by side up the stairs...... He knew that he would see Yu Feipeng when he went up, so he didn't bother to ask what might happen next.

Yu Feipeng's adjutant is no longer the adjutant Xu who was strong in martial arts and straightforward personality back then, but has been replaced by Adjutant Xiong in his early thirties and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

When Zheng Yi followed Adjutant Xiong and Yu Ji, he entered the spacious office, and at a glance saw Yu Feipeng sitting behind a huge desk near the windowsill to review documents.

When Yu Feipeng heard Adjutant Xiong's whispered report, he did not immediately raise his head to greet him, but continued to write a line of words with a brush.

Adjutant Xiong smiled, whispered to Zheng Yi to sit down temporarily, and then walked to the side to pour tea for Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi glanced at Yu Jishi, who was happy beside him, shook his head, and gently walked to the empty chair opposite Yu Feipeng, and carefully looked at the two lines of beautiful block letters annotated by Yu Feipeng.
