Section 6 The Root Cause (1)
After the establishment of the national political axe, it was moved from the Shimin soil factory to the original Liangguang Governor's Office in the urban area of Guangzhou, Zhuang Jihua and Li Zhilong both took the guards, and a group of people came all the way along the back street. Sihou Street is located in the center of Guangzhou, and the shops and restaurants along the way are more exquisite, and he was stopped by Li Zhilong several times when he wanted to enter.
"You're a lieutenant colonel now, and I'm also a dignified colonel, so you have to go to a place that matches your identity, just follow me."
Zhuang Jihua was very surprised by Li Zhilong's words, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to silently follow Li Zhilong forward, after walking for a while, Li Zhilong said to Zhuang Jihua in front of a magnificent restaurant: "Cultural Revolution, the seafood of Fuxiangge is a must in Guangzhou, you may not have tasted it." β
Zhuang Jihua looked up at the three words of Fuxiang Pavilion inlaid with gold edges, and then looked at the welcome lady wearing a beautiful cheongsam by the door, knowing that this restaurant must be good, in the previous life, this kind of welcome lady or hostess was very common, but in this era, there are very few hostesses and hostesses, and they are not used in restaurants and restaurants of a certain grade.
"How can I have time to care about these, in Tian, I'm afraid the consumption here is not low." Zhuang Jihua asked lightly.
"It's not expensive, what are you doing with this, I'll invite you today. Let's go inside. Li Zhilong smiled heartily, and walked straight inside after speaking.
For Zhuang Jihua, he has seen a lot of magnificent hotel restaurants, how can the restaurants of this era catch up with the previous life, but he doesn't understand how Li Zhilong learned this set, identity and status, it has only been a few months, and he shook his head secretly, and he followed Li Zhilong into Fuxiang Pavilion.
After entering the door, Li Zhilong went upstairs to the private room, and asked the foreman who led the way as he walked: "Is there anyone in Songtao?" β
"Just vacated." The foreman replied crisply, but glanced at Song Yunfei and them with confused eyes, and the guards of the other chiefs were waiting outside the building.
"Among the private rooms here, Songtao Yayun is the best." While walking upward, Li Zhilong introduced to Zhuang Jihua.
"Looks like you're a regular here?" Zhuang Jihua asked calmly.
"Hehe, I've only been here a few times, and it's still Ouyang and they have a treat, and it's the first time I've come here alone." Li Zhilong laughed dryly.
Songtao Yayun is really good, the private room is divided into two before and after, the middle is separated by a bamboo fence, the outside is placed with a sofa and a coat rack, it should be used for the year rest, a round table is placed in the middle of the room, there are potted plants in the corner, the whole room is green, look carefully to know that the walls of the room including the roof are covered by bamboo, there is an ink landscape hanging on the wall, and the whole room is alive and well from a farmhouse.
"The farmhouse has moved to the city, and it's creative." Zhuang Jihua praised in his heart, this boss seems to be a person who knows how to do business.
"What do you like to eat? Point it yourself. After Li Zhilong flipped through the menu, he threw the menu to Zhuang Jihua.
"Whatever the guest is like, this place is what you are looking for, you order." Zhuang Jihua didn't know how much it cost here, so he made up his mind to ask Li Zhilong for a treat.
"Okay, then you're welcome." Li Zhilong didn't give in, picked up the menu and reported the name of the dish to the host next to him.
"In duplicate, give them a table as well. Dude, it's not enough for yourself. In the end, Li Zhilong said to Song Yunfei, Zhuang Jihua's eyebrows jumped, and finally he didn't speak, but just nodded to Song Yunfei and asked them to go out to eat, and he also had something to talk to Li Zhilong.
The Zhongshan ship incident is perhaps the important event that happened in this era that he remembers most clearly, even if he doesn't remember the time, he also remembers the main characters. Therefore, he wanted to find an opportunity to have a serious conversation with Li Zhilong, but after seeing Li Zhilong's style today, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he wanted to talk to him even more.
"Zaitian, what kind of work are you doing in the navy now?" Zhuang Jihua waited for only him and Li Zhilong to be left in the room, and then asked.
"Zhongshan Ship Party representative, what's wrong?" Li Zhilong asked rhetorically, today he brought Zhuang Jihua here also has a hint of showing off, he was called one of the three heroes in Huangpu, but these three heroes are the three heroes under Zhuang Jihua and Jiang Xianyun; At the time of his admission he was arguably the highest among all the students of the school, he was Borodin's translator, and others who had such a prominent position; Zhuang Jihua and Jiang Xianyun have made meritorious contributions and have been promoted to majors, and he has led a propaganda team, Yang Qigang's generation also made irresponsible remarks, Meixian fought with He Jinhan, Director Zhou also criticized him, and was finally transferred from the Eastern Expeditionary Army, all of which made him feel full of loss. However, with the departure of Whampoa, he also came and went, and now he is now the party representative of the Zhongshan Ship, the most important warship of the Nationalist Axe Navy, and his military rank has also jumped to colonel, which is one level higher than Zhuang Jihua.
"Zhongshan ship," Zhuang Jihua sighed in his heart, history still inevitably sent Li Zhilong to the middle of the whirlpool.
"It's the original Yongfeng ship." Li Zhilong saw that Zhuang Jihua was silent, thinking that he didn't know about the renaming of the Yongfeng ship to the Zhongshan ship.
Zhuang Jihua nodded, he suddenly found that he didn't know how to talk to Li Zhilong, the last time he was in Zhangmutou, he had already reminded him euphemistically, although the circle was a little far, but now Li Zhilong is one step closer to danger, how to remind him? You can't say that if someone asks you to sail the Zhongshan ship to Huangpu, don't go. Zhuang Jihua has nothing to do.
"Where are you reorganizing the Sichuan army, I will also reorganize the navy after a while." Li Zhilong saw that Zhuang Jihua was in a daze, so he opened the topic by himself.
"Oh, what's wrong with the Navy?" Zhuang Jihua asked absentmindedly.
"In fact, everyone knows about it, but no one cares." Li Zhilong sighed.
Zhuang Jihua was about to speak, when the door of the private room was pushed open, and several hostesses came in with dishes.
"Try this, steamed flat fish, and this crab meat roll." Li Zhilong enthusiastically added food to Zhuang Jihua.
"No, you're welcome, I'll do it myself." Zhuang Jihua hurriedly excused himself: "In Tian, I'll come by myself." Well, not bad, it tastes good. β
Zhuang Jihua praised while eating, he had eaten many famous dishes in his previous life, and the dishes here were no worse than in his previous life, and even stronger, it seems that cooking has nothing to do with the times.
The two of them gobbled up without caring about the image, and they were in a mess after a while, but they didn't drink, and everyone had something to do later.
After a full meal, Zhuang Jihua asked: "Just now you said that everyone knows about the navy, but no one knows about it, what is the matter with the navy?" β
Li Zhilong looked at Zhuang Jihua and lowered his voice and said, "Smuggling." Up and down the Navy, every warship, every battery, smuggled. Taking the Zhongshan ship as an example, the captain Ouyang Chrome colluded with the first mate to smuggle together, they thought I didn't know, but in fact, I already had the evidence of their crimes, and I also investigated those people clearly, and when the time came, they were all wiped out. β
"Have you found it all out?" Zhuang Jihua frowned, he felt that Li Zhilong was too anxious, in a place where there was no foundation at all, and the attack surface was so big as soon as he moved his hand...
"Of course, I plan to move Ouyang Chrome first, and then Chen Ce, as long as these two tigers are defeated, the smuggling wind can kill most of them, and after the smuggling on the warship is investigated, the smuggling of each battery will be investigated." Lee Zhilong's determination was great.
"Zaitian, you are different from me, I have a large group of classmates to help me in the reorganization of the Sichuan Army, you are alone in the navy, you should be careful step by step, sometimes I would rather be slow than in a hurry." Zhuang Jihua reminded euphemistically.
"I'm not afraid of these moths," Li Zhilong said indifferently: "Besides, with Chairman Wang and Director Smerov supporting me, I have Shang Fang's sword, don't worry." β
"Remember what I said to you?" Zhuang Jihua reminded him: "Details determine success or failure. β
"Remember," Li Zhilong nodded, and then said with emotion: "To be honest, Cultural Revolution, you are really my friend, and only you understand me." I really don't understand, who is in the way of me and Huiqin, everyone will say a few words. β
"Qigang or Wushan?" Zhuang Jihua asked softly.
Li Zhilong sighed, his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't speak. Zhuang Jihua understood in his heart that Jiang Xianyun and Yang Qigang had both criticized Li Zhilong.
"Doesn't Wushan know what to do in the Navy Bureau?" Zhuang Jihua asked wondered, could it be that Jiang Xianyun lied to him.
"He used to be, and after I came to the Navy Bureau, I had less contact with him." Li Zhilong explained: "I am running at sea now, and I have less and less time to go ashore, and I sometimes can't see each other with Huiqin for a week, but Yang Qigang is still talking nonsense. β
"Ugh." Li Zhilong talked about the things in [***], Zhuang Jihua was not easy to speak, so he had to persuade euphemistically: "Be careful in everything, just pay attention." β
"I'm not afraid of him, I'm walking and sitting upright." Li Zhilong said resolutely.
"Have you seen the Headmaster lately?" Zhuang Jihua didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he pulled the topic back again.
"Nope." Li Zhilong said: "Have you seen the principal after we returned to Guangzhou?" Zhuang Jihua decided to find a breakthrough from here.
"No, I'm not in the same system with the principal first, so I don't have anything to do with him." Li Zhilong said dissatisfied. He was a little dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek in his heart, and he felt unfair when he was transferred from the party army, but he left He Jinhan behind.
Zhuang Jihua was a little stunned, and after thinking about it, he understood where Li Zhilong's dissatisfaction came from.
"Zaitian, I'm going to persuade you, no matter what grievances you have against the principal, but after all, he is our principal, so you should go and meet him and talk to him. Moreover, the principal is the commander of the garrison command, the commander of the ChΕshΕ« fortress, and a member of the military council, and these positions will also help you in your future work. Zhuang Jihua persuaded that he felt that if Li Zhilong and Chiang Kai-shek could communicate frequently, then the misunderstanding could be resolved, and if Li Zhilong could gain Chiang Kai-shek's trust, at least Chiang Kai-shek would not take Li Zhilong.
