The sky over Chang'an City was cloudless, and it was a good sunny day.

With a loud humming sound, a Boeing 247D passenger plane of Datang Airlines slowly landed on the runway.

Zhang Wei rushed to the airport early in the morning to wait to greet her best friend, Zhang Meng's nominal fiancée Han Qingxuan.

Although Song Meiling repeatedly asked Zhang Meng to go to Nanjing to take Han Qingxuan back to Datang, Zhang Meng always shirked everything, and finally forced the Nationalist Government to have no choice but to send Han Qingxuan directly to Datang.

In this diplomatic game, Zhang Meng won the first round. But with Han Qingxuan's arrival in Chang'an, Zhang Meng had no way out.

Zhang Wei's mood was not very good, because Zhang Meng had spoken to her alone for a long time before coming, telling her that if Zhang Xinhai insisted on carrying out this wedding, then Zhang Meng could only tell Han Qingxuan the truth.

Zhang Meng can pretend to be Zhang Xinhai's son, out of gratitude and repayment for Zhang Wei's life-saving grace. But it is impossible for him to pretend to be Han Qingxuan's husband, not only to deceive and hurt Han Qingxuan's feelings, but also to himself, which husband wants his wife to treat him as someone else, this is a matter of principle.

Zhang Meng could use various reasons to prevaricate before, thinking that as long as it took a long time, this marriage would be pulled down. However, in the end, Zhang Xinhai's insistence made Zhang Meng unable to delay any longer, and he could only have a showdown.

However, before the showdown, Zhang Meng hoped that Zhang Wei could come forward to persuade either Zhang Xinhai or Han Qingxuan, and she had to make a choice.

In the end, Zhang Wei chose to convince Han Qingxuan, because she really didn't want her parents to know that their real son was dead. After all, Zhang Xinhai and his wife are over seventy years old, and it is difficult to survive this blow.

The hatch opened, and a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old and wearing the unique school uniform of Jinling Girls' School ran down quickly.

Zhang Wei saw that it was her best friend Han Qingxuan. So I was very happy to greet him.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than three years, and they immediately hugged each other tightly and called each other's names.

The few people who came down later, except for Song Meiling, whom Zhang Wei knew, did not see Han Qingxuan's family coming over.

"What's up with you? What about your parents and two older brothers? ”

Han Qingxuan pursed her lips and said angrily: "Cut, it's not because you want to save face!" ”

Zhang Wei suddenly shook her head and smiled bitterly, secretly thinking that she was really a pair of stubborn old men who were right at home. Zhang Xinhai is stubborn and wants to save face. The same is true for Han Tieshu.

Because Han Tieshu saw the Song family gain power before, their Han family also rose with the tide, and they already looked down on the Zhang family. Therefore, he wanted to repent of his marriage again and again, and this matter has spread in the upper class of the Republic of China, and it has long been no secret, but Han Tieshu did not pierce this layer of window paper because of his face.

Who knew that the Zhang family actually ran to the Pacific Ocean and established themselves as kings. However, it has also made achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. Even the government had to have a good relationship with the Zhang family, and under the pressure of Song Meiling, Han Tieshu was already very embarrassed and promised not to regret his marriage. However, Zhang Meng repeatedly refused to go to Nanjing, which made Han Tieshu more and more faceless.

Now under the pressure of the Song family, although Han Tieshu agreed to send Han Qingxuan to Chang'an to marry Zhang Meng, he prevaricated seasickness, and even took Han Qingxuan's mother and his two sons to Datang.

Han Tieshu did this to show the people that he only agreed not to regret his marriage because of the pressure of the Song family, so as to save some of his face.

Han Tieshu's cautious eyes even saw his daughter Han Qingxuan. That's why she said mercilessly in front of Zhang Wei that his father wanted to save face.

Zhang Wei was originally dissatisfied with Han Tieshu's snobbish behavior, but it was a matter of facts. She knew that Han Qingxuan was different from her father. For a long time, Han Qingxuan has resolutely opposed Han Tieshu's repentance of marriage, but she can't fight her father, and she has always been looked at to death. even planned to secretly go to the Tang Empire to find Zhang Meng several times, but he was arrested.

Han Qingxuan has been complaining to Zhang Wei in the past few years, and wrote a letter to Zhang Meng, but unfortunately Zhang Meng didn't read it at all, and Zhang Wei secretly replied to Zhang Meng's letter.

Now that Zhang Meng is going to have a showdown, Zhang Wei really regrets that she should have thought of this a long time ago.

Looking at Han Qingxuan's innocent appearance, Zhang Wei was a little unbearable.

"By the way, Brother Ah Meng's brother Weishenme won't come to pick me up? I haven't seen him in years. ”

"Your brother Ah Meng is very busy, and there is an urgent military operation today, so he can't come to pick you up."

Han Qingxuan's face was suddenly full of disappointment.

"You're about to be a bride, what are you anxious about? In the future, there will be time to be together. At this time, Song Meiling heard Zhang Wei say that there was an urgent military operation, and immediately walked over. He asked again, "Is it the Japanese Navy that has arrived?" ”

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "That's right! The Imperial Fleet is about to go to the battlefield to engage the Japanese Navy, and this battle is related to the survival of the Tang Dynasty, so the eldest brother has to personally supervise the battle. ”

Han Qingxuan knew about the Tang Ri war, and when she heard that Zhang Meng was going to personally supervise the war, she suddenly became anxious and asked Zhang Wei to take her to see Zhang Meng immediately.

However, Song Meiling also wanted to know the strength of the Datang Royal Navy and whether it could defeat the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which meant that the Nationalist Government would cooperate with Datang in the future. So she wanted to drop by.

Zhang Wei was still too young to stand Han Qingxuan's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she nodded in agreement.

~~~~~~~~~~

Under the blue sea and blue sky, the Longmen Port is sparkling.

On both sides of the pier trestle of the naval base, nearly 100 large and small warships are densely arranged.

These warships are all painted in silver gray, the sides of the bow are painted with black rows of Arabic numerals, and the side of the ship island is sprayed with the blue eagle logo of the Tang Royal Navy, which is huge and eye-catching.

Trucks loaded with various weapons, ammunition, and supplies docked at the docks, and huge gantry cranes transported the containers on the trucks to the decks of the battleships next to them.

Zhang Meng stood on the navigation tower of the base, grabbed the handrail and looked into the distance, and the entire naval base was in full view.

Intelligence shows that the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Takuzo Kobayashi, did not carry out the orders of Kato of the Japanese Military Command Department, but continued to lead the main fleet of the Combined Fleet to the Tang Empire.

In this way, Zhang Meng's strategic intention to dream of destroying the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet in one fell swoop became more difficult, after all, Kobayashi had two large aircraft carriers in his hands.

Of course, theoretically, the two aircraft carriers built by Kobayashi were not at all the match for the four large aircraft carriers of the Tang Army. Not only are the number of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft twice as large as those of the Japanese army, but the combat performance of carrier-based aircraft is also much higher than that of the carrier-based aircraft on Japanese aircraft carriers.

Zhang Meng was concerned that the training time of the Tang pilots was much shorter than that of the Japanese aircraft carrier pilots. After all, the Japanese naval aviation began training in 1922, and now it has nearly a decade of flying experience and jishu accumulation. The pilots of the Datang Naval Aviation are only one to two years of flight time, and there is a gap in the pilot's personal jishu in comparison.

Although more than 300 outstanding pilots from the Northeast Army Air Force have been added to the family members of the Datang Naval Aviation, they have just begun to use the two new aircraft of Raptor Heavy Ship Combat and Hellfire Heavy Ship Bombardment, and at the same time, they have just joined the Tang Army, and the mutual cooperation with the original Tang Army pilots needs to be improved.

Zhang Mengsi fell into deep thought, and before he knew it, the ships of the first aircraft carrier battle group of the Tang Royal Navy had completed all the supplies.

"Your Highness, it's time to give a pre-battle order!" Yang Yi interrupted Zhang Meng's thoughts softly.

Pre-war instructions, as the name suggests. It is to encourage the officers and men of the whole army and improve their morale before the battle. For the soldiers, training in peacetime relies on real skills, but in battle, the soldiers have to believe that three points of luck play a huge role. Because a cannonball on the battlefield doesn't have eyes, it won't blow you up just because you're better trained than your companions and your official rank is higher. Therefore, boosting morale before the war has become the practice of every army.

As the commander of the army, navy, and air force, and as the soul of the Tang Army, Zhang Meng's every word and word he said had a tremendous impact on the officers and men. Therefore, Zhang Meng decided to personally supervise the battle this time, tightly condense all the officers and soldiers, and set an example and self-confidence for them. (To be continued......)
