Chapter 146: A Gift to Song Meiling

Commander-in-Chief Zhu said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Bogu, what do you mean by this? Is it wrong for people to help us when we are in danger? ”

Bogu said, "Listen, what does he ask of Enlai?" It is not allowed to develop the organization of our party in Lunan? Isn't this obviously suppressing our party? ”

Zhang Wentian, who had been tempered by the Long March, was a staunch supporter of Taizu and was now a pragmatic revolutionary, and he said: "Comrade Bogu, you can't say that. Pen & Fun & Ge www.biquge.info Let me ask you a question, if Chiang Kai-shek openly developed the GMD organization in Yan'an, would you be willing?

Moreover, people did not say that they would not let you develop the organization, but they would not let you develop it openly. After all, he is the commissioner of the Lunan District Administration appointed by the GMD, isn't this embarrassing? ”

Taizu spoke, and he said: "Luo Fu is right, Xia Chao is a general of GMD, you can't ask him to have the same standards as my party comrades. Our party's national anti-Japanese united front is to unite all forces that can be united. The summer dynasty is the object of our great unity. ”

In Wuhan, in the office of the 35th Group Army, Xia Chao and Cui Xiaobao were studying giving gifts to Song Meiling. In the matter of penicillin, Xia Chao refuted her face and made her complained about by her sister Song Ailing. It's not a trivial matter, to try to make up for it back.

Song Meiling was born in a wealthy family, well-educated, can speak 7 Chinese, and her appearance, temperament and knowledge are among the best intellectual women of this era. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, she visited the United States and made important contributions to China's expansion of international influence and assistance.

Of course, she is also a woman, and naturally has the limitations of a woman. At the same time, she has a great influence on Chairman Chiang, and it is very important to mend the relationship with her.

On that day, Chen Cheng reminded him that to give Song Meiling dollars, it was just a metaphor, which meant to do what he liked, starting from Song Meiling's cultural background.

According to the information of later generations, Xia Chao knew that one of the things that Song Meiling was most proud of was her contribution to the construction of the Chinese Air Force.

When Chairman Chiang was encircling and suppressing the GCD Central Soviet District, he tasted the sweetness of having an air force, so he vigorously developed the air force. But he had no money, and at this time, Song Meiling came forward to help him win a large amount of money from the Kong family and the Song family. In 1936, Soong Meiling became the secretary general of the Aviation Administration of the Military Commission, and actually became the commander of the air force of the GMD.

She helped build an air force with 9 groups, 31 squadrons, and a total of 314 aircraft. Later it became known as the mother of the Air Force.

Xia Chao decided to make a fuss about this. So, he asked William to help him purchase 4 Bf109 fighters from Germany. It cost him a total of $240,000. (At the time, the price of an American fighter jet was around $50,000.) )

The summer dynasty is also open, and has created a special gift for Song Meiling.

September 24 is the GMD Air Force Aviation Day.

On this day, in the auditorium of the Military Commission, a commemorative ceremony was held as usual. Smaller on a smaller scale due to the war. More than 200 Air Force officers participated. The bigwigs included Chairman Jiang, Song Meiling, He Yingqin, Feng Yuxiang, Chen Cheng, Zhang Zhizhong, and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, who happened to be in Wuhan, and also attended the meeting.

Xia Chao was invited to attend the meeting.

The meeting was chaired by Zhou Zhirou, director of the Air Force Aviation Committee. The protagonist is, of course, Song Meiling, who read her commemorative article aloud with passion and brilliance, which won full applause.

Chairman Chiang also spoke, commending the Aviation Committee for its outstanding work and, of course, praising Soong Meiling's merits.

Finally, Soong Meiling called on the people of the whole country to donate money and materials to support the construction of the Chinese Air Force.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhirou announced the end of the meeting.

"Please wait a minute." At this moment, someone in the audience shouted.

As soon as everyone looked at it, a young general stood up in the audience, everyone knew him, it was the Niu Xia Dynasty.

Zhou Zhirou asked, "May I ask General Xia, what is the matter with you?" ”

Xia Chao came to the stage, saluted Chairman Jiang, and said, "Chairman of the Committee, the students have asked to speak. ”

Chairman Jiang smiled and said, "Okay, just say it." ”

Xia Chao saluted the audience again. Then he said, "Ladies and gentlemen. Two days ago, I accepted the invitation to participate in the Aviation Memorial Day to learn about the history of the Chinese Air Force, and I deeply admire your contributions to the development of China's aviation industry.

In particular, Mrs. Soong Meiling, the wife of Chairman Chiang, made indelible and great contributions to the building of the Chinese Air Force during her tenure as secretary general of the Aviation Administration of the Aviation Commission.

Inspired by this, I decided to make a modest contribution to the cause of the Chinese Air Force. I have already received approval from the German Ministry of Military Industry to personally fund the purchase of 4 German-made Bf109 fighters. Donate to the Aviation Committee. ”

There was an uproar in the room. There was a lot of talk. Someone said, "This guy is really rich." ”

Someone said: "This guy is really good at sycophants, how did he get his money?" ”

As soon as his voice fell, someone immediately said: "You are talking nonsense, Xia Chao's father is the richest man in Ningbo, and he himself has an industry in the United States, have you heard?" Penicillin is someone's property. ”

"Ah, really? He's too rich. ”

"What is this? In his troops, the weapons and equipment are good, the allowances are high, most of them are paid by the people themselves, and a few planes are too trivial. ”

Of course, there were also many positive comments, and everyone praised him for his good deeds.

At this time, Song Meiling was very moved, and the trace of unhappiness in her heart for Xia Chao disappeared. She praised Xia Chao's righteous deeds and expressed her gratitude on behalf of the chairman of the Aviation Committee.

At this moment, Xia Chao said: "In order to show my admiration for Secretary-General Song, I dedicate her a souvenir in my personal name. After speaking, he held a brocade box and wanted to present it to Song Meiling.

Song Meiling was a little embarrassed, Xia Chao openly offered bribes in public, which embarrassed her. She said: "It is my duty as a Chinese to do my best for the Chinese Air Force. I can't accept personal gifts. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and some people despised Xia Chao's behavior, and said in a low voice: "What a national hero, he is also a sycophant." ”

Someone said, "No, Xia Chao won't do such a low-level thing, right?" I admire his previous things. ”

Most people have a good impression of Xia Chao and want to see what he gave to Song Meiling.

Xia Chao said, "Please let me open it for Madame." ”

Chairman Jiang thought that the Xia Dynasty would never do things like Meng Lang, so he smiled and said, "Madam, just look at the gifts of the Celestial Empire, I'm curious." ”

The third one is a little later, so please read it during the day.
