Chapter 018: The Banquet of High Society
Not long after Wang Hanzhang finished saying this, when the girl was angry alone, a middle-aged man's voice sounded, "Who bullied my good niece!" ”
The girl coquettishly said, "Uncle, it's him!" At the same time, his hand pointed to Wang Hanzhang. However, this female voice made Wang Hanzhang's cold goosebumps fall to the ground.
The middle-aged man glanced at Wang Hanzhang and said, "You are Wang Hanzhang, you are really young and promising" The girl did not mean to blame when she heard the middle-aged man's words, she seemed to be praising Wang Hanzhang, and said coquettishly: "Uncle, ......" and shook the man's arm violently.
Wang Hanzhang didn't know this person, he was dressed in a suit and wore a pair of gold-wire glasses, he looked no more than forty years old, and he was also very young! Wang Hanzhang said: "You are?" ”
Before the man could speak, a man in a major general's uniform next to him said, "This is Minister He of Military Affairs." ”
Speaking of the Minister of Military Affairs, surnamed He, Wang Hanzhang immediately guessed that it was He Yingqin, later generations of movies and television often mentioned this benevolent brother, but this He Yingqin is indeed too young, if I remember correctly, he is in his early fifties this year, but he looks like he is only in his thirties, and it looks like he is living a very nourishing life! Rich people are good.
"It turned out to be Minister He, look up for a long time!" In 1933, He Yingqin served as the acting chairman of the Beiping Military Branch, and signed the "Weigu Agreement" and the "Hemei Agreement" with Japan to betray national sovereignty. Although the latter may not all be done by the head of the regiment, the traitorous treaty was signed by him himself, and Wang Hanzhang was very repulsive to him.
He Yingqin smiled, to be honest, it was incomprehensible, and then one person shouted: "The chairman has arrived!" Wang Hanzhang thought to himself that he was a big man in the end, and the finale was always the last.
As soon as Chiang Kai-shek arrived, he walked straight onto the stage, and everyone else quieted down and took up whatever they were doing. One is to adjust the microphone from the stage.
Chiang Kai-shek said in his thick Fenghua accent: "Today we are gathered together, mainly because a few days ago we bravely encircled and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders in Burma, greatly increasing the national prestige of our Republic of China, and also let those who said that we do not resist Japan obediently shut their mouths, and also let those who said that I am not good enough to lift a stone and hit themselves in the foot, in this battle, I ** hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought bloodily, first encircled and annihilated a Japanese division, and then fought for more than a month to encircle and annihilate five Japanese divisions, Today we have invited General Wei Lihuang, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and General Wang Hanzhang, who made plans behind the scenes and rewrote history. ”
Under the gesture of the attendant, Wang Hanzhang and Wei Lihuang walked to the stage, thunderous applause sounded below, and the girl who had just been criticized by Wang Hanzhang snorted unconvinced: "What's the big deal!" ”
After Wang Hanzhang and Wei Lihuang walked up, a host had already stepped forward and signaled the following to stop applauding, and then said: "In view of the outstanding achievements of General Wei Lihuang and General Wang Hanzhang, General Wei Lihuang is hereby awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and General Wang Hanzhang is awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. ”
Then Chiang Kai-shek awarded Wei Lihuang a medal, Wei Lihuang first a standard military salute, after the salute, Chiang Kai-shek pinned the medal in the middle of Wei Lihuang's left placket, after wearing, Wei Lihuang saluted again, the applause below continued, the scene was very lively.
After awarding the medal to Wei Lihuang, Chiang Kai-shek came to Wang Hanzhang to award the medal to Wang Hanzhang, Wang Hanzhang is also a standard military salute, Chiang Kai-shek nodded to Wang Hanzhang, and then wore the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal for Wang Hanzhang, and then Wang Hanzhang was a salute.
In fact, Wang Hanzhang has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, should not be awarded such a high honor to Wang Hanzhang, you must know that before the National Glory Medal came out in 1938, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is the highest honor on behalf of the squadron, even now it is afraid of the second, although Wang Hanzhang's merits have been reached, but Wang Hanzhang's qualifications are too shallow, and he has risen too fast, there must be many people who are not convinced, but Chiang Kai-shek finally decided to award Wang Hanzhang the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, the first one is naturally not to let Wang Hanzhang be surrounded by He Yingqin, Although Wang Hanzhang did not personally command a major battle, Chiang Kai-shek felt that Wang Hanzhang was at least a talent like Jiang Baili, and with Wang Hanzhang's strategic vision in Burma, it was not beyond the reach of ordinary people. Although there are many generals under his subordinates, talents like Wang Hanzhang are still rare to see, in addition, Wang Hanzhang is very young and easy to control, in an old saying, Chiang Kai-shek eats more salt than Wang Hanzhang eats rice, unlike Wei Lihuang's thinking has been ossified and can no longer be changed, so although Wei Lihuang can fight, Chiang Kai-shek does not dare to use him in view of Wei Lihuang's pro-Communism, and there is no way to use him now.
After awarding the medal, the host was instructed by Chiang Kai-shek to let Wei Lihuang and Wang Hanzhang talk about how they surrounded and annihilated Japan's five divisions, and there were many British and American countries at the banquet, Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to be in the limelight, and he was always looked down upon by these countries in the past, and now Britain and the United States were beaten all the way to run around, only the squadron not only stabilized the situation in Burma, but also surrounded and annihilated six Japanese divisions, more than 100,000 people, and the key was the strongest Japanese combat effectiveness of the troops.
Wei Lihuang didn't know what to think, but said briefly: "Defending the land and resisting the war, protecting the family and defending the country, the duty of my generation of soldiers, anyone will be duty-bound, as for how to encircle and annihilate the six divisions of the Japanese army, Han Zhang knows better than me, the plan is all out, and I will just implement it." "That's it, the ball was lost to Wang Hanzhang.
The people in the audience looked at Wang Hanzhang one after another, Wang Hanzhang felt that if he didn't dare to order anything today, he would definitely not be able to send them away, but there was no need to say how to encircle and annihilate it, otherwise the Japanese would know the whole process of the battle tomorrow, this is not good, China lacks ammunition, there is almost no heavy industry, it is better to keep it secret, so he said: "This is actually nothing to say, it is to fight, and then a fire, a water, to destroy them, I just move my mouth, I am really fortunate that the soldiers on the front line, They braved the enemy's bullets and devils on the front line. After that, Wang Hanzhang was about to retreat.
A woman said, "General Wang, just tell us about it, right?" Wang Hanzhang didn't see who it was, but the voice was still very good, maybe it was from a big official's family, one person spoke, and other women and some men also echoed: "Yes...... Oh, yes...... Tell us about it. ”
Lao Jiang also said at this time: "Han Zhang, tell them!" ”
Wang Hanzhang didn't want to save Chiang Kai-shek's face, but he didn't want to talk about it, so he said: "There is really nothing to talk about, that plan is very unreliable, if it weren't for the courage of Wei Zong, I'm afraid no one would dare to use this plan, but this plan is also what I learned from General Dai Anlan, at that time I always had him to be able to fire one less division, Mandalay is by the river, and it is the rainy season, maybe there can be a flooded devil, so the plan came out." Then he drowned (castrated) five divisions of the devils. ”
The people below laughed when they heard the last sentence, but one of them said: "If you want to fool us so easily, you should be punished!" ”
Wang Hanzhang glanced at this person and said: "The process is like that, this has to be punished!" After thinking about it, it was best not to spoil people's interest at this time, so he said, "Okay, then I'll sing a song!" ”
So he didn't care whether others agreed or not, and sang Tu Honggang's song "Loyal to the Country"
"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north.
The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost.
The heart is like the Yellow River. Twenty years, between vertical and horizontal, who can resist. Hatred is mad, and the long knife is directed. How many siblings are buried in their bones. What a pity to die to repay the family and country. I couldn't bear to sigh, but I was even more speechless, and my eyes were full of blood and tears. The horse's hooves go south, and the people look north. People look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying. I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory. The dignified China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate. ”
Wang Hanzhang didn't sing it repeatedly, just ate it, but the people below still listened attentively, the tunes of the Republic of China at this time are either operas from all over the country, and the so-called pop songs are also such as "Night Shanghai" and so on, singing softly like a lullaby, the most exciting thing is military songs, but Wang Hanzhang has also heard the soldiers sing, the speed of speech is very slow, you always feel obedient.
People in later generations should have read and listened to the more elaborate TV series or movies of the Republic of China, the speed at which the radio personnel in the Republic of China read the news or released the news, and now the Republic of China people sing like this. You said that the songs of later generations are like Jay Chou's songs, they are so fast that they drop scum, and you can't even hear the words clearly, but now it's strange to listen to the radio of the Republic of China.
After Wang Hanzhang finished singing, the people below reacted after about ten seconds, applauded violently, and Wang Hanzhang's crisis was lost.
Everyone didn't expect Wang Hanzhang to sing so well, and at the same time, they had never heard of this song, after Wang Hanzhang came down, a person came over and said: "Brother Hanzhang, who wrote this song, why have you never heard of it?" ”
Wang Hanzhang said: "I wrote it, the first time I sang it, I haven't heard of normal." ”
The other people on the side looked at Wang Hanzhang differently, especially Wei Lihuang and Chiang Kai-shek, who all heard Wang Hanzhang's words. Later, Wang Hanzhang and others talked casually for a few words, and was pulled to the side by Chiang Kai-shek to do ideological work, and Chiang Kai-shek felt that Wang Hanzhang must not be used by others. This kind of talent can only be owned by him, otherwise he can't let Wang Hanzhang be killed, if such a person votes for He Yingqin or **, then insisting is a major threat to himself, and the generals under him are too disciplined compared to Wang Hanzhang, but they are too ruthless in corruption and bribery.
