This ball dissipated in an unharmonious atmosphere, of course, Han Yunhua didn't take Smith seriously, Chiang Kai-shek, who had an iron blue face, called Dai Li to the office and asked sternly: "Yunong, who invited that guy, his voice is clearly questioning the real surname of the enemy annihilation figures announced by our army, what is his purpose in doing this?" ”

"Chairman, this Smith is indeed the British military attache in China, and today the British ambassador went to meet a friend of Timben, who had already left half an hour ago when our invitation was sent, so the embassy staff asked Smith to come to our ball, and by the way, to attend the award ceremony this afternoon. However, this incident just now may have been a temporary idea of this guy, and it should not be the instructions of the British ambassador, and I think it won't be long before the British ambassador will give us an explanation. Although it is now said that Britain is an ally, because the United States has inserted a lever in the middle, the alliance between Britain and Britain has broken itself. Thinking that Britain would not be tempted to become our enemy, I think that guy did this for two purposes: the first is to simply look down on us Chinese and want to take this opportunity to disgust us. Second, it was troublesome, because he was instructed by the British ambassador to sabotage our medal ceremony and let the envoys of the United States, France, and other countries see our jokes. Dai Li's analysis of these words was reasonable, reasonable, and reasonable, but Chiang Kai-shek greatly appreciated it. He analyzed Smith's psychology very thoroughly, and he deserved to be the person in charge of the Military Control Bureau.

Sure enough, soon the British ambassador personally went to Chiang Kai-shek's office of the Wuchang Military Commission to apologize to the Nationalist Axe, and at the same time formally submitted a diplomatic note, hoping that the Nationalist Axe would severely punish the Chinese generals who had shot at the British Empire's envoys abroad, and threatened the Chinese Monarch to cut off the Yunnan-Burma Highway that had just been built and close China's only external access at this time.

Chiang Kai-shek also felt very troubled by this, and immediately ordered the chief of guard to pick up Vice Chairman Zhou and Han Yunhua to the office to discuss the matter.

Walking on the road, Vice Chairman Zhou whispered like a father to reproach Han Yunhua for his impulsiveness, while Han Yunhua drooped his head a little embarrassedly, humbly accepting the criticism of the head who was both an elder and a leader.

Han Yunhua didn't care at all about the rude note put forward by the British ambassador to China, and before Vice Chairman Zhou could speak, Han Yunhua said: "What does Chairman Chiang mean?" Will you accept the British ambassador's request, or will you ignore it? Han Yunhua's tone was very blunt, he knew that people in this era were a little afraid of foreigners, especially Western powers, and the Chinese people were like this, and the Chinese elite was even more so.

"The British ambassador has not yet been able to cut off the Yunnan-Burma highway, at best he will only create some trouble for our port in Yangon, so General Han should not have any psychological pressure. How to deal with this matter depends on Enlai. After all, General Han is the general of your [***] side, and I have no right to call the shots. Chiang Kai-shek had a good calculation, he handed over this hot potato to Vice Chairman Zhou, so that nominally he respected the face of [***], but in fact he wanted to see the jokes of the [***] side.

However, Vice Chairman Zhou is not a vegetarian, he knows that it is a bit inappropriate to deal with Han Yunhua now, and if he does not deal with it, he will leave a handle for the Kuomintang, at least he will not be able to run away if his majesty is not strict.

"Yunhua, you made this matter up by yourself, how to deal with it is up to you to do it yourself, no matter what method you use, but I don't want the British ambassador to come to us tomorrow to make trouble." Vice Chairman Zhou is even more absolute, since you, Chairman Jiang, are unwilling to take over, then we will deal with it ourselves, but if something happens, you and we will take responsibility together, we are now two grasshoppers on a rope, and we can't escape from you and can't run away from me.

"Enlai's words are still so sharp, it's just that, as long as General Han doesn't go too far, then this matter will be handled by General Han himself." Chiang Kai-shek said helplessly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the award ceremony officially began, and the entire political axe auditorium was full, in addition to the awarding personnel, there were ambassadors of various countries and on-site reporters from the news media. At the same time, there are also some representatives from all walks of life, and outside the political axe auditorium are several heroic troops, the most eye-catching is the guard unit under Han Yunhua's department. Due to the limited space, each unit participating in the battle was allowed to come to a maximum of one battalion, and it was the guard battalion that Han Yunhua's unit came.

To tell the truth, he is no stranger to awarding medals to Han Yunhua, he is also a military genius who is also famous in the army of the Republic in later generations, and he can't remember how many medals he has been awarded by the state, anyway, even the incumbent vice chairman of the Military Commission has personally awarded him medals. But in this era, accepting the medal is still the first time for a big girl to sit in a sedan chair.

Although it is said that the Party Central Committee has also made a lot of contributions to Han Yunhua, but it was all a telegram to order the whole army, and he himself did not receive those awards or anything like that, and I don't know if there were any. What's more, he has been a pillar since he started in Daqingshan, and he can't do without him for half a day, how can he have time to go to Yan'an to receive any medals, and even Yan'an, where every officer must go to study, he didn't make it. The Party Central Committee took into account the specific form of Saibei and the complicated surname of the local situation, so it canceled his mission to study in Yan'an.

The procedure is similar to that of later generations, first of all, Chiang Kai-shek's speech, and the two-hour long speech made Han Yunhua feel numb when he heard it. A total of 187 people participated in the award, including 21 from the Eighth Route Army. Of these 187 people, 102 were promoted to colonel, 73 to major general, and 13 to lieutenant general.

Han Yunhua was awarded two medals this time, the Blue Sky White Medal and the Baoding Medal. The center of the Qingtian White Medal is the Qingtian White Emblem, representing the country (note: the Anti-Japanese War period), surrounded by light, symbolizing the person who won this medal, having the merit of defeating the enemy and making the country glorious.

This medal was promulgated on May 15, 1929 by the Nationalist Axe and the Regulations on the Order of the Army, Navy and Air Force. On June 15, 1935, it was revised as the Army, Navy and Air Force Medal Regulations, and this chapter was promulgated as before. This medal is awarded to the servicemen of the army, navy, and air force, and to those who have defended foreign aggression and defended the country, and who have distinguished themselves in one of the following military exploits: 1.

The center of the Baoding Medal is Baoding, surrounded by light, Ding is the treasure of our ancient country, symbolizing the winner of this chapter, the country is meritorious, the country cherishes such as Ding, and the light of honor is also shining. On May 15, 1929, the National Government promulgated the Army, Navy and Air Force Medal Regulations, and on June 15, 1935, it was revised as the Army, Navy and Air Force Medal Regulations. There are tables for each.

Evidence of the capture of pirates or international pirates. 14.

The Order of Baoding is awarded to officers of the 1st to 4th classes, the 3rd to 6th classes for colonels, the 4th to 7th classes for lieutenants, and the 6th to 9th classes for warrant officers and soldiers. Non-army, navy, and air force personnel, or military personnel in the township, or foreign personnel, who have made meritorious contributions to the war, may be awarded the Baoding or Yunlu Medal in accordance with the regulations.

When Han Yunhua came to the stage to accept the medal, almost all the people in the stands applauded, and the warm applause made Han Yunhua's eyes a little red and his nose sour.

The ceremony proceeded very quickly, with a group of 10 people, and soon all the 19 groups of meritorious personnel who participated in the award were trained. The next step is to award the flag to the meritorious troops, and Han Yunhua's department was promoted to the second division because of its outstanding combat achievements, and was also awarded the Wanjialing Hero Division by the national political axe.

After the flag was presented, the representatives of all parties took the stage to speak and were interviewed by the media. The first to come to the stage was Han Yunhua, commander of the 77th Division, the first meritorious unit in this conference.
