Chapter 4 The Visit of the First Lady of the State
"What are you discussing? Didn't they all pull it down? ”
When Zhang Meng heard that Zhang Xinhai mentioned his fiancée again, he immediately became impatient.
Originally, the Han family had already alienated the Zhang family by virtue of their Hakka status with the first lady, and it was rumored that the Han family planned to dissolve the relationship with the Zhang family and planned to marry Han Qingxuan to the son of a high-ranking official of the Nanjing government. At the same time, the Han family also expressed their hope to Zhang Xinhai euphemistically through others, and Zhang Xinhai would terminate the marriage contract between Zhang Meng and Han Qingxuan.
People go to high places and water flows to low places, Zhang Xinhai has no reason to stop the Han family from breaking the appointment, he has not let go, but he can't let go.
Zhang Xinhai thought that he could be out of sight and out of mind when he left Shanghai and hid in the distant Tang Empire, but it had been three years, the Tang Empire was in ruins, and the Zhang family was busy building the Tang Empire, and this matter had almost been forgotten, but a letter sent by the Han family evoked this unhappy past.
"There must be an explanation for this matter, no matter whether the Han family finally recognizes this marriage or not, our Zhang family cannot regret the marriage first, this is a matter of principle."
Zhang Xinhai is a stubborn character, he does not allow the Han family to regret the marriage, but he does not allow the Zhang family to withdraw from the marriage first. His so-called principle is to save face, and he doesn't take into account Zhang Meng's feelings at all.
Zhang Meng looked at Zhang's mother Xue and sister Zhang Wei next to him, and the mother and daughter suddenly looked at him with pitiful eyes, and the meaning was obvious - please don't go against your father and hurt your father's heart.
Well, Zhang Meng admitted that he was defeated again, not by Zhang Xinhai's stubbornness, but by the pitiful eyes of Zhang's mother Xue and sister Zhang Wei with pleading.
"Now Datang is facing a life-and-death battle with the Japanese, and then talk to the Han family when the war is over, and strive to solve this matter without losing face on both sides."
Drag! Keep procrastinating!
Zhang Meng really couldn't think of a more haode way to prevaricate this matter.
At this time, the Xue family next to him hurriedly persuaded: "Meng'er is right, there is a war right now, and when the battle is over, it is not too late to talk to the Han family when our home is saved." ”
Zhang Wei then stepped forward to persuade her, and Zhang Xinhai listened to the words of their mother and daughter, so he nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Zhang Xinhai wrote a reply letter, Yan Ming is not at the right time to talk about marriage, and handed it over to someone sent by the Han family to take back.
Zhang Meng thought that the matter would soon come to an end, but unexpectedly, the Republic of China government then sent a consulate in Tang to the Tang Empire, and the first consul and military attaché, Major Pan Jiangchang, submitted the letter of appointment of the consul general in the Tang Dynasty to Zhang Xinhai, the emperor of the Tang Empire, and also handed Zhang Xinhai a personal letter from Song Meiling, the first lady of the Nationalist Government, saying that Song Meiling hoped to visit the Tang Empire in a private capacity, and hoped that the royal family of the Tang Empire could issue an official invitation letter.
Song Meiling's diplomatic skills were very powerful, and Zhang Meng had to guess her intentions to suddenly visit the Tang Empire.
It's just that Zhang Meng never expected that Zhang Xinhai seemed to be flattered, and immediately sent an official invitation letter to the government of the Republic of China in the name of the royal family of the Tang Empire.
Zhang Meng really wanted to tell Zhang Xinhai directly that you are a little promising, you are already the emperor of the Tang Empire, although the Tang Dynasty has just been established, but the strength of the wheel is stronger than the national government, you should at least sell Guanzi and reply after ten days and half a month, instead of replying on the same day.
But Zhang Meng didn't say anything in the end, just smiled bitterly.
Song Meiling came quickly, far exceeding Zhang Meng's estimate.
Zhang Meng only guessed one thing correctly, one of Song Meiling's purposes was to touch the bottom of the Tang Empire for Jiang Zhongzheng. Zhang Xinhai is a supporter of the Nationalist Government in his bones, and he believes in Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Doctrine, so when he talks with Song Meiling, he has long forgotten his identity as the emperor of the Tang Empire.
Fortunately, Zhang Meng has always had a back hand, and Zhang Xinhai only knows many things, so Song Meiling took away 70% of the strength intelligence of the Tang Empire from Zhang Xinhai at most, and the real core secrets of the country are still in Zhang Meng's hands.
Although Song Meiling did not have the core confidential information of the Tang Empire, the information revealed to her by Zhang Xinhai alone was enough to shock her. With her intelligence, she naturally understands that the real backbone of the Tang Empire is Zhang Meng, so she believes that Zhang Meng's hidden strength will be even stronger.
It's just that when Song Meiling wanted to talk to Zhang Meng alone, she was politely rejected by Zhang Meng because she was busy with military affairs.
If it had been before, Zhang Meng would have been very happy to talk to the first lady of the national government. But now that Old Man Zhang's waist can't stand straight, Zhang Meng feels that it is too embarrassing to lose face in the Tang Empire, so when he is a son, he should provoke the diplomatic waist of the Tang Empire.
If you want to see me, I'll let you see you!
Pan Jiangchang told Song Meiling about Zhang Meng's refusal to meet, which really made the first lady of the state government very faceless.
"Madam, this Zhang Meng doesn't know how to lift, don't you see him!"
"But a man with character!"
Song Meiling just smiled slightly, and then said: "Consul Pan, you have to be clear about the mission that sent you to the Tang Empire!" Zhang Meng is the real master here, it's best for you to do things here and not do anything that makes the master unhappy, don't you understand? ”
Pan Jiangchang was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Madame's lesson is to remember your humble duties!" ”
Song Meiling nodded and sneered: "Does this Zhang Meng think that Mrs. Ben is easy to deal with?" Don't see me? Hmph, Mrs. Ben will let him see the consequences of offending a woman! ”
Zhang Meng, who was inspecting the army's combat readiness, suddenly sneezed. saw that he just smiled evilly, and secretly begged that Song Meiling must be scolding the prince when she learned that she was rejected.
Zhang Meng didn't care, he knew that Song Meiling's trip must have a purpose, so he deliberately didn't see her, just to take care of her.
"Report to His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, Company K of the First Armored Division is undergoing assault combat training, please instruct, Wu Dasheng, the commander of Company K!"
"Keep training!"
"Yes!"
Wu Dasheng's K Company is the most elite knife assault company of the First Armored Division of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, and it has steadily won the glorious title of the First Company of the Army in all previous assessments, which is naturally inseparable from their strict requirements and diligent training on weekdays.
The army strength of the Tang Empire is the smallest among the three armies, so it must take the road of elite soldiers and exert the maximum combat effectiveness with the smallest force.
It is precisely because of the lack of land strategic depth in the Tang Empire that the size of the army is only more than 30,000 people, and it is organized into three elite mechanized divisions, including one armored division and two mechanized infantry divisions, becoming the first army in Shijie to realize the full mechanization of the army.
Zhang Meng was originally a special soldier, so his requirements for the Royal Army of the Tang Empire were even more strict.
Originally, the officers and men of the army were dug from the battle sequence of the national army, and they already had a certain foundation of military quality, and many of them had even killed people on the battlefield. After the comprehensive training of the army training regulations and special operations skills formulated by Zhang Meng, the combat capability of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire has undergone qualitative changes at this time, and it is not inferior to the German Army, which is praised as the first army by the whole Shijie, and even in many tactics and skills, the German Army does not have it at all, and it is no exaggeration to call it the strongest army.
It is precisely because of the small number of personnel in the army that every officer and soldier of the army is trained in accordance with the requirements of the special forces. In particular, as the elite of the special forces, the Blue Fox Special Service Team has been sent to various units of the Army as tactical training instructors, so that all the officers and soldiers of the Army can have a deeper understanding of the true meaning of the training regulations formulated by their commander Zhang Meng, and after the intensive training of the Blue Fox Special Service Team, it is a key factor for them to become the strongest army unit in Shijie in the future.
Of course, they can't be recognized by the armies of Shijie countries yet, because they haven't really represented the Tang Empire to win a beautiful war.
Only by winning the war can they be eligible to be recognized by the armies of other countries. Only by winning against other land powers can they be called the strongest army.
And now they are about to face the Japanese invaders, so they must work hard to practice their killing skills, prepare to attack the Japanese devils head-on, and let the Japanese devils become a stepping stone for the Tang Army to ascend to the Shijie Army power.
