"Only three tables?" Zhao Zilong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.

He originally thought that there would definitely be more than 100 people at this banquet, but with this arrangement, at most about 30 people could be seated.

Zhao Zilong suddenly felt the pressure, you must know that Xu Qiang, who had a personal grudge against him, was not among the invitations this time.

The so-called protégé of Chairman Jiang he knew was the only one in the military command, and Uncle Chen was alone.

When he saw the people who had arrived, Zhao Zilong couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cool air.

It turned out that before they arrived, all the people had basically arrived.

In the huge living room, there were only three or four seats empty above the chairman's seat.

Needless to say, it was the seat of Chairman Chiang and Chief Li. In other words, all the rest have already arrived.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand why Chen Weiguo and the other national troops who came back with him didn't come?

Because he knew that this banquet was not only for Commissar Chiang, but also for those who had made great contributions to him who had returned from Nanjing.

Seeing the arrival of Uncle Chen and Zhao Zilong, many generals had already gotten up.

At this time, Sun Lianzhong walked over, grabbed Zhao Zilong's hand, and said excitedly: "Brother Zhao, I heard that you did a beautiful battle again this time, and you also caught a Japanese girl." ”

Zhao Zilong raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party calmly, and replied, "Chief Sun, you have won the award." A general like Chief Sun can lead the soldiers to bathe in blood on the front line, and that Zilong will be nothing to eradicate one or two traitors and lackeys in the rear. ”

"Not really." At this time, Yan Daogang also came over.

This high-achieving student from the Whampoa Military Academy, who is now doing civilian work, instantly became polite, he said: "I heard that Brother Zhao eradicated it this time, but it is a leading figure in our Xuzhou City. ”

"That's right." Sun Lian nodded and said with some emotion: "I have been to that pharmacy before." I heard that he still has an oracle bone on the tortoise shell there. ”

"Who, who's going to get the oracle there?" Suddenly, a thick southern accent came.

Then, another southern accent rang out, a hearty laugh.

Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately perked up.

Sun Lianzhong immediately stood up straight and shouted: "Stand upright, salute!" ”

Immediately, all the generals stood as straight as he was, and then saluted.

A gentle voice came: "Sit, everyone sit." ”

Zhao Zilong glanced back and saw a tall and thin soldier walking in. He was followed by the slightly thin Chief Li Zongren, and then another general with a large figure. This person Zhao Zilong seems to have seen it in the newspaper.

Further back, another stout little soldier. As he walked, he had to lift his head slightly so that he could make eye contact with those in front of him.

Needless to say, this person is Chairman Chiang, the supreme leader of the country today.

"Sit, sit down." Chairman Jiang stretched out his hands and signaled that everyone had sat down, but no one sat down.

It wasn't until he himself sat down that everyone sat down.

Chairman Jiang stretched out his hand and fished out a roster, and then said in a thick Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent: "This afternoon's military meeting has already been named. In this way, there are also elites from all walks of life at the scene, so I will name a few people, so I can get to know everyone. The generals who had been ordered stood up for a moment. ”

"Li Zongren!" When Chairman Jiang read this name, he subconsciously looked at the other party. Li Zongren immediately stood up and saluted the audience with a standard military salute.

"Cheng Qian!" This man sat on the left side of Chairman Chiang, and he also saluted as he could.

"Bai Chongxi!" This is the general Zhao Zilong seems to know, and his standing is as swift as a north wind blowing.

"Sun Lianzhong!" Zhao Zilong is already very familiar with this Sun Lianzhong, and this Yan Zhao man has a lot of weight. When he was together, he could even bring a gust of wind in the living room.

At this end of the roll call, Chairman Jiang waved his hand, and everyone began to feast. Zhao Zilong sat at the table at the door.

He noticed that on this table, in addition to Uncle Chen and him, there were several gentry who did not wear military uniforms. But sitting at the chairman's table was still a young man, Yan Daogang.

Yan Daogang frequently raised his glass to pay tribute to everyone.

A banquet quickly entered the climax, and then the end came, after all, in the moment of national crisis, everything must be simple.

At this time, Sun Lianzhong suddenly spoke: "Commission, today, I would like to introduce you to a young talent. ”

"Oh?" Chairman Jiang raised his eyebrows.

His eyes were a little sunken. It is said that it was left after the Battle of Songhu, and it has been a few months, especially after the fall of Nanjing, and those depressions have become even deeper.

"Which one, bring it over and I'll take a look." Commissar Jiang glanced at the audience and asked.

"He is Zhao Zilong!" Sun Lian replied.

"Oh, this name is good, it always reminds me of Zhao Yun of the Savior of Nagasaka Slope." Chairman Jiang suddenly became interested, and his sunken eyes instantly brightened.

Li Zongren also hurriedly played a round, "Yes, it's him, Brother Zhao, come over for a while." ”

Zhao Zilong was slightly stunned, then stood up and walked in front of several leaders.

When Li Zongren saw that Zhao Zilong came over empty-handed, he immediately laughed: "What's the matter, Brother Zhao, when you see the leader, don't you need to toast?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Zilong woke up and hurriedly turned around, but saw a general handing over a full cup.

Zhao Zilong hurriedly took it, then turned around and raised it above his head, and said, "This cup, I respect the seat and several chiefs." ”

"Hmm." The sturdy soldier spoke, it was Cheng Qian, and he said: "Don't dare, don't dare, this first cup, you have to pay tribute to the seat first." We're a few chiefs, come back next. ”

"Hmm, yes, yes." Chairman Jiang seemed to be replying to Zhao Zilong, and it seemed to be replying to Cheng Qian. The big guys are like this, their vague instructions often make the people below scratch their heads.

"You know, I, Jiang, have always been a smoker and drinker." Chairman Jiang glanced at everyone, then looked at Zhao Zilong and said, "But if I'm happy today, I'll replace the bar with tea." ”

After speaking, he raised the wine glass in front of him, which contained a glass of good Longjing from his hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Zhao Zilong drank a glass of wine at once.

Chairman Jiang's eyes lit up, he walked over and patted Zhao Zilong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, young man, I have heard about your deeds." You break into the enemy camp alone, kill the enemy generals, and blow up the munitions.

You defended Nanjing, fought bloody battles, resisted the enemy's attacks again and again, especially the ambush at the Zhonghua Gate, greatly frustrated the arrogance of the Japanese pirates, and played the heroic ...... of our Chinese men."
