Chapter 323: Why Should I Help Them?
The black sedan drove at a gentle speed on the streets of Nanchang, and Zhang Qun, vice president of the Executive Yuan, who was wearing a suit of Mao suit, looked at all kinds of pedestrians strolling on the street outside through the car window, and thoughtfully said to Chen Cheng who was sitting aside: "Resignation, Nanchang just went through a big war last year, it stands to reason that the people's livelihood should be withered, but I didn't think it was recovering well, you look at the people on the street and the newly built houses on the street, it can be seen that this Su Sansi can not only fight, but also do a good job in the people's livelihood." ”
Chen Cheng, who retracted his gaze, also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, he nodded and said: "Elder Zhang is right, this Su Sansi really surprised me, when I first saw him last year, he was only the head of a militia group, and more than a year has passed, and he has become a major general who can take charge of himself, which has to surprise me." ”
Perhaps a little dissatisfied with Chen Cheng's slightly perfunctory tone, Zhang Qun glanced at him and said with a smile: "Resignation, Su Jin's promotion order was drafted by you personally, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are his nobleman, you can tell me, is this Su Jin willing to support the great cause of the party-state?" ”
Hearing Zhang Qun's question, Chen Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Old Zhang, you have stopped me, I really can't see through Su Sansi, this person is ostensibly a local warlord who grasps military power, and has extreme hatred for the Japanese, which can be seen from the fact that every time he fights with Japan, I will talk about him, but this guy promised well in person, but when he turned around, he did it correctly, which is really a headache."
And you say that this kid is stingy, he is sometimes very generous, for example, some time ago, he supported Twenty-Nine Jun, hundreds of anti-tank guns and more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition. As well as quite a few heavy machine guns. But if you want to say that he is generous, a few days ago, he actually rented some anti-aircraft guns and large-caliber heavy artillery to Wang Yaowu and them before the 74th Army fought with the Japanese army. It's really hard to figure out! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Qun couldn't help laughing, "This Su Sansi is really interesting, I really want to see this little guy who hurts even you and the chairman sooner when I hear you say this." ”
If someone on the side saw that there were still people who dared to talk to Chen Cheng, who was known as the chairman of the small committee, their jaws would definitely drop their jaws, but as long as they knew Zhang Qun, they would not think so, this veteran of the Kuomintang who participated in the Wuchang Uprising was friends with Chairman Jiang for eight years, and was the secretary general of the Central Political Conference at the time. His qualifications for important positions such as vice president of the Executive Yuan and chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Government can be described as very high, and even Chen Cheng has to be called Zhang Lao. The reason why he came to Nanchang with Chen Cheng this time was because Zhang Qun thought that he was a hardcore pro-German faction, and it was because of this time that Chen Cheng pulled him over to help him.
The car came to the headquarters of the 202nd Division in the south of the city while the two were talking. After stopping in front of a two-story building, a young man in a gray-green major general's uniform was already standing in front of the door and walking towards them with a smile.
Looking at the young man walking towards the car door, although Zhang Qun had already been mentally prepared, he had to sigh in his heart. "How young!"
Yes. is indeed very young, Su Jin at this time is only twenty-six years old, what are you doing if you are an ordinary officer at the age of twenty-six? Many people who graduated from military academies should carry the brand of lieutenant or captain at most to work hard in the army at this time, but this one is good, and he became a major general with his own hands and military exploits.
And what can amaze Zhang Qun the most is that this guy's rank of major general is really paved with the bones of the Japanese, even the most picky people in the army dare not say that his rank of major general is not worthy of the name, after all, the record of the Fifth Brigade of the Total Annihilation Tank, the Suzuki Brigade and the 36th Brigade is enough to blind the eyes of most people.
After the car door opened, Zhang Qun and Chen Cheng got out of the car. Su Jin gave the two of them a military salute, "Hello Dean Zhang." Hello Chief Chen, the two of you have worked hard from afar. ”
In fact, when Zhang Qun was looking at Su Jin, Su Jin was also looking at this powerful figure in the government department, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this middle-aged man with a smile on his face was the one who fired the first shot against the overthrow of the Manchu regime in Wuchang with Chairman Jiang back then.
Zhang Qun stopped and took the lead in stretching out his hand to Su Jin and said with a smile, "You just think twice, although I have been in Chongqing for the past two years, your name has worn my ears out of calluses, and today I finally saw a real person." ”
Su Jin also stretched out his hand, "Dean Zhang has won the award, the department is just at the right time, not to mention that it is a soldier's duty to kill the enemy for the country, how dare you be praised by Dean Zhang." ”
Zhang Qun pointed at Su Jin and couldn't help but smile: "Hahaha...... No wonder Cixiu always praises you, saying that you are really a model of the party-state, and it is indeed worthy of your reputation when you see it today! ”
In the face of Zhang Qun's repeated praises, Su Jin just said again and again that he didn't dare to accept it, he is not a rookie who has nothing to do, others don't know what their surname is when they praise him, so many years of life experience tells him that when those people with higher social status and positions than you praise or even praise you, they are very willing to dig a pit in front and wait for you.
Su Jin quickly invited Jiang and the two to sit down in the reception room on the second floor, and after the three of them sat down, Su Jin didn't go around in circles with the two, he knew very well that he wanted to play with these old foxes, and he was still a little behind.
"Dean Zhang and Chief Chen are both important members of the party-state, I don't know what to do in Nanchang this time, if the department can help, please just ask."
Zhang Qun and Chen Cheng glanced at each other and waved their hands with a smile to signal each other, Chen Cheng nodded and said directly: "Think twice, I heard that you had a few Germans here a few days ago, I don't know if that's the case?" ”
"Yes!" Su Jin happily admitted, "The chief is right, these Germans were ordered by the Supreme Command to investigate some things, and there is also a former German cultural counselor in China, Mr. Edmund." ”
"Oh...... It turned out to be Edmund? Zhang Qun on the side shouted in some surprise.
"Does Dean Zhang know Mr. Edmund?" Seeing this, Su Jin couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I know." Zhang Qun nodded, and then said to Su Jin: "Think twice, I heard that your troops are all equipped with German equipment, and some time ago you even formed an armored regiment, and you were terrified to fight the Japanese in Jiujiang." Let me dare to ask, can you get another batch of chariots for the government? ”
"This ......" Su Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, he shook his head regretfully: "Dean Zhang, let me tell you the truth, this time the department still wants to buy another batch of weapons from Germany through Mr. Edmund, but as for helping the government purchase weapons, it is powerless." ”
Zhang Qun looked at Su Jin with blazing eyes and said: "Think twice, now that many troops in the Japanese invasion are short of guns and ammunition, if you can help the country buy weapons and equipment, its credit is great, why do you want to refuse?" ”
Su Jin Zhengse said: "Dean Zhang, although the department also wants to share the worries of the party and the state, but the department also knows that it has a few pounds and a few taels, and the department does not dare to agree to things that cannot be done, if you really have the heart to buy military supplies from the German government, the department can arrange for you to meet with Mr. Edmund, and you can talk to him in person, wouldn't it be good." ”
Hearing this, Chen Cheng, who had been sitting on the side and had been silent until now, glanced at Zhang Qun, meaning you see, I said that this kid is just like a loach, and he will not be easy to comply.
Zhang Qun laughed: "Okay, since that's the case, let's ask Senior Commander Su to arrange a time for us to meet." ”
Although on the surface, Zhang Qun's performance is still no different from just now, but the title has changed from Su Jin's expression to the official title of Su Shichang.
Su Jin happily agreed, he knew that Zhang Qun and Chen Cheng were the vice presidents of the Executive Yuan and the vice ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs, so it was naturally impossible for them to stay in Nanchang for a long time, so he arranged for the two to meet with Edmund and his party that night.
"Think twice...... Didn't you want to accompany Chief Chen and them to meet those Germans tonight, why did they come back so early? In the room in the backyard of the division headquarters, Zhang Xiuniang, Xiaoyu and Mi Xiaoya were chatting, seeing Su Jin coming back so early, Mi Xiaoya couldn't help but ask her husband who was lying on the lazy chair a little strangely.
"I'm just giving them a chance to meet individually." Su Jin said lazily: "Now I guess that Chief Chen and Dean Zhang are talking to that German, thinking about how to get more arms from the Germans, what is going on there." ”
"You...... The mouth is still damaged. Zhang Xiuniang poured a cup of tea and handed it to him with some anger and amusement, and continued: "Dean Zhang and Chief Chen came all the way from Chongqing to ask you for help, but you always push back, and you are not afraid of people wearing small shoes for you!" ”
"Wearing little shoes?" Su Jin scoffed at this, "I don't eat them and don't use them, all I want is a name, and it's not so easy for them to wear small shoes for me." ”
Speaking of this, he saw Zhang Xiuniang's willow eyebrows gradually erected, and quickly raised his hand and said: "Okay, I know what you want to say, but you don't want to think about it, one of them is the vice president of the Executive Yuan, and the other is the vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but let me do it with a small division commander, don't you think it's funny?" And if I help them this time, what do you think will happen? ”
After listening to Su Jin's words, the three daughters gradually came back to their senses. Yes, why should Su Jin, a small division commander, do what even a government can't do, and the most important thing is that if Su Jin helps to do it this time, will such things follow in the future.
Thinking of this, the third daughter understood the difficulties of her man...... (To be continued.) )
