Chapter 274: Unexpected Promotion
Chongqing, a mountain city in the southwest. Vertex X23US
After receiving Huang Zhiquan's personal request for Feng Tiandong, Boss Dai was very pleased, and he was very confident that Feng Tiandong could trouble himself with private affairs, which was a manifestation of his incomparable loyalty.
Originally, relying on the ability of the Military Command Bureau itself, Boss Dai could easily find out the news of Feng Tiandong's eldest brother-in-law. However, firstly, it was to avoid suspicion, and secondly, it was also to highlight the merits of the Military Command Bureau in front of the president, and at the same time, he could also let his loyal, brave, and capable subordinate Feng Tiandong show his face in front of the president, and he was ready to personally go to meet President Jiang and ask for consent.
At that time, Chongqing, the strategic rear during the Anti-Japanese War, was one of the command centers of the National War of Resistance Against Japan.
As a large area of China's territory fell into the hands of the Japanese, a large number of Chinese people left their hometowns and rushed to Chongqing, the rear of the Anti-Japanese War, with their wives and children.
With the influx of a large number of ordinary people, Chongqing, a mountain city in southwest China, has become the most lively city in China.
In order to break the determination and will of the Chinese people to resist the war to the end, the Japanese devils carried out large-scale, continuous, and indiscriminate bombing of Chongqing, making Chongqing at that time full of ruins and broken walls.
Walking through the devastated streets and the lively flow of people, Boss Dai drove to the president's residence, and after the secretary's report, Boss Dai, as the president's confidant, was quickly led in and stood in front of President Jiang.
"Xiao Dai, what bad news did you bring when you came?" The president glanced at Boss Dai, took a sip of the boiled water next to him, and asked expressionlessly.
During this period of time, there was always some bad news reaching his ears, ** in the battle with the Japanese army; Wang Jingwei actually waved the banner of the new "Nationalist Government", and the Eighth Route Army in North China was extremely active.
"Headmaster, there's no bad news, there's one thing, I'm a little undecided, I don't know whether to do it or not, please listen to your instructions." Boss Dai stood straight and replied respectfully.
"Hehe, Xiao Dai, aren't you very capable? What, and what else you don't know if you can do? The president said with a smile.
"Principal, you are serious, what abilities do students have, not all of them are cultivated by the principal, there are too many things that students don't know, and they have to learn from the principal for a lifetime." Boss Dai was startled, cold sweat flowed down instantly, and he hurriedly defended himself, until he saw the playful smile in the president's eyes, he knew that he was joking.
"Don't be nervous, what's the matter? Go ahead. The president asked.
"That's right, principal, I have a cadre under him, he asked me to inquire about his sister and brother-in-law, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, their family has not received any news from his brother-in-law's family, the family is very worried, and hopes that I can help find them and help pass on a letter from their father." Boss Dai wiped a cold sweat and said slowly.
"Hehehe, if you can bother so much, that cadre must not be simple." President Jiang analyzed.
"The principal clearly sees that this person should have heard of the principal, his code name is 'Young Master', he once successfully sanctioned the big traitor Zhang Yanqing, in order to support the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Changsha, he blew up the devil's army train three times, and when he bombed the train for the second time, he was seriously injured and almost died." Boss Dai immediately reported Feng Tiandong's great achievements.
"I know, I know, I know this man, he is a warrior of our party-state." The president was moved.
Then, President Jiang's gaze fell on Boss Dai's face, and he asked thoughtfully, "Is he looking for his brother-in-law?" But how did it come to you? The whole of China is so big, how to find it? ”
"Headmaster, the reason why he asked me for help is because his brother-in-law is also a member of the party-state." Boss Dai didn't know what the president meant, so he hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Who is it? When President Jiang heard this, he immediately became interested and asked.
"Headmaster, his brother-in-law is also your student, he graduated from the sixth phase of Whampoa, according to him, he is a colonel regiment commander, but he doesn't know which unit he is, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive." As he spoke, Boss Dai took out a note with some information about Feng Tiandong's eldest brother-in-law.
President Jiang took the note, glanced at Boss Dai meaningfully, and said quietly: "I see, he really found the right person to do this with you, but you are suspected of private use." ”
Hearing President Jiang say this, Boss Dai was taken aback again, and he was really a little panicked, fortunately he was careful this time and took the initiative to ask for instructions, otherwise, he would find it without authorization, and he might not be charged with a crime in the end.
So, he hurriedly stood up and said: "The principal is wise, I have already criticized him, how can he be so popular for personal matters." ”
Then he said with emotion: "But the principal, I consider that his father is old and longing for his daughter, and that there are two children in the family who are fighting bloodily, and I feel that the old man's wish should be fulfilled. Therefore, I was a little undecided, so I came to ask the principal for instructions. ”
Looking at Boss Dai's sincere and frightened look, President Jiang said slowly: "Xiao Dai, don't be nervous, I'm joking with you." Although we are revolutionaries and should focus on the cause of the War of Resistance, we are not Puritans, who has no parents, wives and children, the elderly are old, it is normal for people to miss their children, and there are two children in the family who are contributing to the War of Resistance, do we still need to consider this? It must be fulfilled. ”
"Someone!" President Jiang pointed to the note brought by Boss Dai to the attendant officer who heard the greeting and walked into the office, "You go and check immediately, what kind of unit this person is now, where is the person, check immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
"Xiao Dai, I heard that you have two cadres under you, known as 'Liu Qing in the south and young master in the north', is this the 'young master' you just mentioned?" It seems that President Jiang is quite interested in the "young master" mentioned by Boss Dai.
"Yes! Headmaster, the information about the talks between Wang Jingwei and Wang Kemin this time was also heard by the 'young master'. At that time, he was in Nanjing, and he rescued Liu Qing from prison, and then ran to Shanghai and sanctioned the traitor Wang Tianmu. Boss Dai continued to introduce Feng Tiandong.
Hearing this, President Jiang was moved again; "Good! True warriors, Xiao Dai, for such a brave and fearless cadre who is loyal to the party and the state, we must not hesitate to reward, promote, and reward. ”
"Yes! Headmaster, but the 'young master' has been promoted to major, he is just in his early twenties, and he has only been in the party-state for two years, and he has not been promoted, but I have already brought him material rewards. Boss Dai said.
President Jiang nodded thoughtfully.
After a while, the attendant officer walked into the office shouting "report".
"Report to the president, find out!"
"Say!"
"Tang Canhui, graduated from the sixth phase of Huangpu, deputy brigade commander of the 168th Brigade of the 197th Division of the 32nd Army and colonel of the 398th Regiment, and now serves as the acting brigade commander of the 168th Brigade."
"Combat situation!"
"Commander Tang fought bravely, he was seriously wounded in the Battle of Wuhan, and led the whole regiment to block the enemy on the south bank of the Miluo River in the Battle of Changsha, the whole regiment was only less than half of the battle, and Commander Tang was also wounded again, but he resolutely did not let the Japanese devils break through the position."
"Good! Good! It is worthy of the Whampoa elite. President Jiang praised.
"Report to the president, because the commander of the 168th brigade was killed, Regiment Commander Tang was ordered to act as the brigade commander, and commanded the whole brigade to complete the final battle with injuries." The squire added.
"Huh? It has been some time since the Battle of Changsha, and Tang Canhui has completed the task brilliantly, why is he still the acting brigade commander now, and he has not become a regular. President Jiang wondered.
"President, the qualifications of Head Tang ......"
President Jiang waved his hand to interrupt the attendant officer, and said categorically: "Niang Xipi, what information is not qualified, what I want is an excellent commander who is brave and good at fighting, not a wreck." You go and talk to the commander-in-chief, and immediately promote Tang Canhui to the rank of major general and serve as the brigade commander. ”
Then he said slowly: "Tell Tang Canhui that you have time to bring your wife to me." ”
The attendant went out.
"Alas! It's really good, I didn't expect that the two brothers were contributing to the battle of Wuhan and Changsha. President Jiang exclaimed, and then said to Boss Dai, "Xiao Dai, you leave his father's letter here, and I will hand it over to Tang Canhui, and when they finish writing the reply, I will hand it over to you to take away." ”
"Yes!"
Boss Dai knew that Feng Tiandong's credit was great, but due to age and seniority, he could not be promoted, President Jiang wanted to transfer his credit to Tang Canhui, and at the same time he could receive a loyal subordinate, so why not.
If you want to learn these methods, you must encircle Feng Tiandong, a cadre.
