Several senior officers came down, either major generals or lieutenant generals, and the highest rank among them was a general, who was the chief of staff Lan Tianwei.

In the current military circles, there are only more than a dozen really influential bigwigs, and Lan Tianwei is one of the bigwigs, and he has been presiding over the work of the General Staff, so to speak, except for Zhao Bei. Lan Tian is not the most influential figure in the military.

A group of senior Wehrmacht officers who had been waiting there at the parking lot hurriedly greeted Lan Tianwei and saluted Lan Tianwei, who also returned the salute one by one and shook hands with these officers.

"Where is the commander-in-chief?" Lan Tianwei asked a hanger.

"I was talking to President Li Da on the other side of the garden, and the commander-in-chief specially instructed that as long as Chief Lan came over, he could go directly to the garden, or he could walk around casually, and just treat this mansion as his home. After the commander-in-chief was done, he went with Chief Lan to pay homage to the old man's birthday. The Colonel replied solemnly.

Lan Tianwei smiled and said: "Commander-in-chief, this is polite, after all, this is a private residence, it is impossible to walk around, you still wait here, I will take the adjutant to the garden, I haven't been here for a while, I don't know how the scenery in the garden is now?" ”

As he spoke, he had already ordered an adjutant, followed an officer of the guard team to the garden, and just walked to the entrance of the garden, he saw a person rushing out of the garden, it was none other than Zhao Bei's eldest son, Zhao Qiwen.

"Qiwen, you are so in a hurry, what are you in a hurry to do?"

Lan Tianwei stopped Zhao Qiwen and asked, he is also a frequent visitor to the mansion, he has followed Zhao Bei's old department for many years, and he has watched Zhao Qiwen grow up, and he is considered Zhao Qiwen's uncle, so he usually meets him, and he is very casual.

"I'm running away from home!"

Zhao Qiwen shouted first, but he didn't shout at Lan Tianwei, but facing backwards, shouting at the garden, his voice was very high, as if he was afraid that the people in the garden would not hear.

"Running away from home? Where do you want to go? ”

Lan Tianwei was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Go to the Tianshan Mountains to herd sheep, go to Lake Baikal to fish, go to Borneo to reclaim the wilderness, go to Central Asia to build the railway" is not angry here! ”

Zhao Qiwen grumbled angrily. There is no need to ask any more, Lan Tianwei also understands that he is angry with others, as for who the person who makes him angry, he knows without asking.

"I'm angry with you again? Or is it because of the last time I got into a fight? Lan Tianwei shook her head.

"That's not a fight, it's a righteous and courageous act, is it wrong to fight hooligans? What's more, it's my female classmate who is molesting that gangster! Zhao Qiwen snorted, looking unconvinced.

"Of course, it's right to beat hooligans, but if you even beat the police who stop the brawl, it's your fault! If you beat you, it makes sense. Lan Tianwei nodded.

"Uncle Lan, it's not for that! What's more, the fight is in the past, I have already apologized to the police station with my classmates, and repaired their motorcycles, why did you get involved with that incident again? It's not my fault today, it's the old man's fault, he actually didn't allow me to join the army! Zhao Qiwen said hatefully.

"Huh? You're going to join the army? That's a good dare! The Commander-in-Chief has no reason to object. Lan Tianwei was stunned again.

"Yes, it is a good thing to serve the country in the army, but the old man is resolutely against it! So, I'm running away from home! I'm going to Nanyang, I'm going to Saigon, I'm going to join the French Foreign Legion! ”

Zhao Qiwen became more and more energetic, but before he could say it happily, Lan Tianwei gave him a chestnut shot.

"Good boy, what a talent! If you are a good Chinese soldier, you should be a French mercenary, even I can't help but repair you! You wait here, I'll go and talk to the commander-in-chief, plead for you, let you join the army, if the commander-in-chief is afraid that you will suffer, I will find a way to go out and transfer you to the general staff. ”

Lan Tianwei originally had good intentions, for fear that this stunned young man would do what he said and become a French mercenary, and the son of the dignified "Far East madman" would actually go to work for the French, which is simply unreasonable.

"Uncle Lan, I don't want to be an army native hat, I want to be an air force! I'm going to be a pilot! Zhao Qiwen's eyes were about to glow.

"Being a pilot? No wonder you were clamoring to join the flying club two years ago, it turns out that you were premeditated.

By the way, you haven't graduated from college yet, have you? Why do you suddenly want to be a soldier now? Lan Tianwei asked again.

"After graduating from high school, I wanted to go to the Air Force, but the old man objected, he insisted that I go to college first, and I barely went to college for two years, but I always couldn't study, the old man told me to study law, and also asked me to study philosophy, and I had a headache when I saw those nonsense European philosophy. I still think it's better to be a pilot, I don't like to sit in an office all day working on papers, I love the sky and I like to fight! Although there is still a year to graduate. But I can't help but fly into the blue sky. I'm going to take a leave of absence from school, wait until I retire from the Air Force, and finish my studies when I can finish it. ”

When Zhao Qiwen said this, he raised his head and looked at Tianyan, his expression was quite serious.

"The Air Force is not like the Army, especially pilots, this is a technical service, the service period is very long, and when you retire, I am afraid that you will not be able to learn. Do you really want to join the army? ”

Lan Tianwei sighed, only then did she understand why Zhao Bei opposed Zhao Qiwen joining the army, in the eyes of the elders, the future of the younger generations is more important, but whether the younger generations agree with this idea or not, it is not necessarily, young people are more willing to pursue their own ideals.

Can the ideal be eaten as a meal? Maybe in this regard, Zhao Bei is a good example for Zhao Qiwen.

"Of course! The people of our old Zhao family are all people who talk and count. Say ten to join the army, seven to join the army! I only got a pilot's license, as long as the old man doesn't get in the way, "Shibu can have one more ace pilot."

Zhao Qiwen nodded again and again, and then whispered a few words to Lan Tianwei.

"Uncle Lan, please be sure to help. The commander-in-chief may not be willing to listen to the words of others, but the commander-in-chief can still listen to your words, who doesn't know, you are the first strong general under the commander-in-chief

Lan Tianwei gave him another slap in the face, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, I haven't learned anything else, but I've learned this sycophant ability, but it's also true, you travel around with a bunch of idle classmates all day long, and you will inevitably be contaminated with some bad habits, it seems that you really have to find a way to get you into the army, so as not to be unmotivated in the future."

"Uncle Lan, I'm twenty years old, kid. This title is really inappropriate, you should call me Qiwen

Perhaps thinking that Lan Tianwei would become his powerful backer, Zhao Qiwen hurriedly pushed Lan Tianwei's shoulders and asked him to step into the garden, and then stood at the gate of the garden and looked around, waiting for Lan Tianwei to persuade Zhao Bei.

Lan Tianwei walked into the garden, and saw the captain of the guard, Qin Sihu, rushing towards him.

"Chief Blue! The Commander and the President are chatting in the East Chamber, and you come with me. ”

Qin Sihu ran to Lan Tianwei, stood upright, and flapped the dagger. Then ask Lan Tianwei to go to the East Chamber.

"Four Tigers, what's going on with Qiwen? . Lan Tianwei asked.

"The thing about joining the army? I can't help with this, and as for you, you can try, but I see that the commander-in-chief is resolute, and it seems that he is not very accommodating. ”

"Oh. The commander-in-chief is a soldier, but he opposes his son joining the army, so he is worried that he will fight in the future, right?

Lan Tianwei guessed, but Qin Sihu didn't answer, in fact, the two of them knew it very well in their hearts. The reason why Zhao Bei let his son abandon Wu Congwen back then was to prevent them from entering the military world, which can be seen from the names of the two Zhao Gongzi, one is called Zhao Qiwen and the other is Zhao Muwen. There is a "text." Words, the quality of the "text." Xiao, but it backfired, neither of the two Zhao Gongzi was a polite son-in-law, but they both inherited Zhao Bei's character.

"Actually, what the commander-in-chief is thinking, I can guess a little bit, the situation in the world is not peaceful now, Italy and Japan are now sharpening their knives, it is difficult to say whether a full-scale war will break out in the future, China, as a big country, is also difficult to completely stay out of the matter, once a global war breaks out, China may not necessarily not participate in the war. Being a soldier in this era, whether it is the army or the air force, it is quite risky, and if you don't say it well, you will catch up with the war Lan Tianwei doesn't care if Qin Sihu answers or not, he just analyzes it like this, and his voice is also very loud, not afraid that Zhao Bei in the room will not hear it.

"Xiuhao, you don't have to do any tricks outside, your son is distressed, you don't need to say this, you know it. Since you're here, let's hurry into the house, don't pretend to be a ghost outside, do you want President Li to go out and invite you to come in and talk? ”

As soon as Lan Tianwei's voice fell, Zhao Bei's voice came from the east chamber, so Qin Sihu hurriedly invited Lan Tianwei into the house.

Entering the east chamber, Lan Tianwei took a closer look, and the people sitting in the room were not only Zhao Bei and Li Yuanhong, but also Rao Hanxiang and Wang Yongjiang, if you add himself and Qin Sihu, there are six people in the house now.

Zhao Bei sat on the top with tea in his hand, Li Yuanhong sat on his left with tea in his hand, Rao Hanxiang and Wang Yongjiang sat on Zhao Bei's right with their hands in their hands, and several people looked at Lan Tianwei who had just walked into the house.

The people sitting in this east chamber are all the bigwigs of the current Republic of China. According to the law, President Li Yuanhong is the biggest boss, but this time in front of him, this posture. People who don't know the details may mistakenly think that Zhao Bei is the president.

After a few words of greeting, Lan Tianwei took a seat beside Li Yuanhong. Qin Sihu also served him a cup of tea.

"Xiuhao, Baili and Runong didn't come with you? Zhao Bei asked.

"Nope. They came later, I went first, and now they may still be on the way. However, it should be possible to rush to the blue sky at noon and answer.

"Oh? What are they busy with in the General Staff? . Zhao Bei asked again.

"What else can you be busy with? It's not just a matter of the past few days. Although martial law has been lifted, the army has not yet withdrawn, and some Wehrmacht troops from other places are looking for camping areas all over the world, and this matter is coordinated by the General Staff

Speaking of which, Lan Tianwei had already understood Zhao Bei's intention in talking about this topic, so he simply extended this topic, and soon talked about the situation in front of him.

"There should be enough troops in the Gyeonggi area now, right? Why are troops still being sent from other places to Beijing?

Seeing that Lan Tianwei understood what he meant, Zhao Bei put the teacup back on the coffee table with great satisfaction, and then asked unhurriedly.

Lan Tianwei glanced at Li Yuanhong and said, "This is what Mr. President meant, the General Staff is just acting on orders."

Zhao Bei looked at Li Yuanhong and said: "Song Qing, although the veterans have not retreated yet, they have been evacuated to the countryside, and the current situation, the troops in the Gyeonggi area are enough, and you are still transferring so many National Defense Force troops from other places into Beijing, so you are not afraid that the local people will be panicked?" Those who know may think that you are cautious, but those who do not may think that there is a coup d'état in the capital. ”

What he said was so shocking that Li Yuanhong's hand holding the teacup actually trembled. (To be continued.)
