A large portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen hangs directly above the viewing platform in the lobby. On both sides are the party flag and the military flag. There are two festive characters of "Fu" and "Shou" on the left and right. Flowers bloom around the viewing platform. Colorful. The Russian Orchestra played the welcome song. A few high platforms between the gate and the viewing platform. There are layers of rich gifts from all walks of life. Jewelled. The array is breathtaking.

Ten points before the ceremony. The two leather-clad guests were unimpeded under the enthusiastic guidance of the plainclothes guards on the periphery. Before coming to the reception, I politely greeted Chen Lifu and others, who were in charge of reception.

A slightly taller, unusually young man took the pen from the attendant. On the gilded congratulatory book, the dragon flying and phoenix danced and signed the name of the congratulatory guest "Yi", and then signed his name behind An Yi's name: Zhou An.

Chen Fu's eyebrows furrowed. Enthusiastically stretched out his hands: "It turned out that Mr. Zhou was here." Long-standing fame. Disrespectful and disrespectful. Today, the domestic business community is full of praise for Mr. Zhou. That's right. Mr. is from Shaoxing, right? ”

"Exactly. Mr. Chen is really polite. Brother An mentioned Mr. Da's name to the younger brother more than once. --Sigh Mr. Sigh's concern is still excited. Zhou Chongan smiled and entertained.

Chen Lifu nodded heartily. A group of Whampoa prides in the attendant's room on the side all smiled. Warm regards. He Jing, who had been interviewing beforehand, also walked quickly. Greet Zhou Chong'an.

The greetings are over. Chen Lifu pointed to the big box that Zhou Chong'an brought in and placed under the congratulatory table. He asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhou." Be. ”

"The congratulatory ceremony entrusted by Dong Anyi of our company is not a tribute. Brother An Yi is entangled in mundane affairs. I can't come in person to express my joy, and I apologize in my heart, so I entrust the next generation to apologize and present a handwritten letter. I repeatedly beg the principal and teachers to forgive. ”

Zhou Chongan took the envelope handed by his assistant Le Cheng and handed it to Chen Lifu. I saw a lot of guests waiting to come in and sign in. Quickly apologize. Then he sat down with He Jing Lecheng.

Chen Lifu took An Yi's letter. Look at the header and the drop-off. Sighed softly.

Ji Shi walked to the big box sent by Zhou Chong'an, and carefully looked at the big box wrapped in red, which was at least one meter and two square, and was carved with groups of exquisite Fushou patterns on all sides. The front of the box is carved with a huge "" lotus flower and peach pattern decorated around it, and the whole box exudes a faint fragrance. It shows the noble and simple atmosphere.

What kind of material is Chen Lifu's box made of? Chen Lifu squatted down and touched the box to inspect it carefully. Stand up and say that this is now a very rare 100-year-old red sandalwood. Each side of the box is meticulously carved from a single piece of wood. Just by looking at the carving, you know that it must have come from the hand of a famous artist. God knows where An Yi got it from.

Ji Shi asked in surprise: "This box is one meter and two squares." Doesn't it mean that this red sandalwood tree is not less than one meter and two thick? ”

Chen Lifu looked at the box lovingly. nodded: "That's what makes this box so precious." It doesn't matter what's in it yet. This box alone is worth a thousand gold.

Xiao Yi, this guy is now rich. I really know how much trouble he went to get to get such an antique. Look at the style and style. It's from the Ming Dynasty. It's precious. ”

"It was very difficult for the two of them to carry it in just now.|When it came to Xiao Yi's He Yi, we didn't open the box and check it. I wonder what this guy is doing in it? Yu Jishi looked at the box with regret.

Chen Lifu smiled slightly: "Don't worry." The He Yi sent by Xiao Yi will not be worse than anyone else. What exactly. Won't you know when you go back and open it after the ceremony?

Come on. The gift is about to begin. We also passed. Just leave a few to Junshan here. ”

More than ten minutes later. The end of the wedding ceremony with great character. Zhou Chongan and He Jingle beside him looked at the radiant Song Meiren on the stage and sighed.

He Jing was awarded "Model Camp" and "The Iron Lion", two best-selling non-fiction books that were translated into six languages, and an exclusive interview with Chiang Kai-shek the day after his return from Japan, which was published in the hit Oriental Lookout magazine. In one fell swoop, it became a famous name with wide influence in China

A rising star in the world of journalism. It also has friendly relations with many famous envoys in Shanghai. He is also the president of the newly established China Young Journalists Association. Let him be among the celebrities in one step. In addition, the successive issues of the "Oriental Hope" weekly magazine have all taken the large amount of money to give away as many as 100,000 copies for free. Its Oriental News Agency became popular at home and abroad almost overnight. His reputation for wealth and generosity has spread.

The wedding ceremony is over. The guests moved to the Venice Hall and the Conference Hall for a tea party. Chiang Kai-shek, the bridegroom, made his famous political speech "Our Today". won the applause of the guests. In this way, he officially announced the direction of his political efforts. Everybody knows that. Commander-in-Chief Chiang lifted the veil of confusion. It has been decided to make an official comeback.

The grand and grand wedding ended, and most of the guests left one after another. Chong'an, who was saying goodbye to many old friends in Shanghai, suddenly received a notice from Chen Lifu: Mr. Jiang warmly invited Mr. Zhou to the residence on Ladu Road for a small gathering.

He Jing congratulated him with a lovely smile, and was about to say goodbye and prepare to go back to compose the manuscript. Zhou Chongan hurriedly stopped He Jing. When we went back to the office next to the newspaper office, we didn't take a shower and change clothes, and changed into a more relaxed suit. Only then did he bring his assistant Le to Jiang.

Enter the sold-out lobby. Zhou Chong'anli was pulled aside by Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law and his close partner Kong Xiangxi. Meet and greet Shanghai tycoons Yu Qiaqing, Du Yue, Feng Jingyao and others one by one. finally sat next to Kong Xiangxi. Join the conversation.

Living room on the second floor. Chiang Kai-shek, who had changed into a white literati robe, sat among Zhang Jingjiang, Cai Yuanpei, Wang Zhengting, Tan Yanziwen, and others. Quietly looking at the big box in the middle of the blanket, it was hard to hide the surprise and excitement in my heart.

Wang Zhengting smiled, An Yi is really a child. Where is the marriage to give a machine gun pistol as a gift? One sentence drew laughter.

Song Meiren, who was dressed in a white dress, also came to stand behind Chiang Kai-shek with her sister Song Ailing. Xiao watched with interest Ji Shi and Chen Lifu carefully took out the gifts in the box one by one. It was neatly placed on the large coffee table next to it.

As more and more gifts are taken out. The exclamations of the wai also became louder and louder.

Everyone stepped forward to watch with interest. This is the preciousness of the gift, far beyond my expectations. Even Zhang Jingjiang, a veteran who had cultivated to the level of a god and demon, carefully read the gift. also sighed silently:

"Kai-shek can't be a gift. There are books and two new military uniforms. You mean that the protégé is comforting you with this profound gift, and you want you to see what he has achieved during this time, telling you that he has been working tirelessly for the army and for the revitalization of the national industry. He confesses to you with real results. He lived up to your high expectations. ”

Chiang Kai-shek received five bound military textbooks from Chen Lifu. Read the cover of each textbook one by one. Hands tremble slightly. The mouth moved. It took a long time to come out with a sentence:

"An Yi is talented. An Yi is talented. He is worthy of being the most beloved student. ”

Song Meiling knew that her newlywed husband was not good at expressing herself, and seeing his emotion, she hurriedly went up and took the book in his hand and put it on the small coffee table beside her. Gently helped Kai-shek to sit down, and then flipped through the "Infantry Combat Training Course" above. Then spread out the book one by one and read the title in a low voice:

"Engineer Drill Manual", "Non-commissioned Officer Military Basic Course", "6-Step Artillery Engineer Arms Tactical Coordination", "Infantry Basic Training Course". These titles are below. There are only three words of model battalion without signature. Is that the model camp of An Yi often mentioned?

They have such theoretical knowledge. It's unimaginable. It turned out that we heard that An Yi was trying to save his soldiers. Rushing in-|- Luo Jiao also used his sword to draw a deep cross on his chest. I was moved and thought he was a martial artist. I didn't expect it to be so versatile. "Headmaster, please take a look."

The machine gun, which was familiar with firearms, came to Chiang Kai-shek and squatted down. Free your right hand. He pointed to the beautifully engraved inscription and the date of manufacture number on the magazine. Excitedly said:

"It's all in Chinese. And this gun is very different from the flower machine gun. The barrel grew. The butt is also more refined and practical. The square heat vent of the barrel is delicate and simple. Very novel. It must have been secretly developed by Senior Brother An's factory. Senior Brother An is really amazing. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded emotionally: "This is based on their borrowing from the German-made Flower machine gun and the American-made Browning machine gun." It took eight months to develop.

I read his letter. He said that the gun looked like an extended version of a German-made machine gun. In fact, the main parts are still copied from the American Browning 1911 light machine gun. The development phase was very hard. Fortunately, it has been mass-produced. The current monthly volume is 380. It is expected to reach 1,500 in half a year. Uses an American 7.62 bullet. The same calibers of German-made rifles that are produced in the Czech Republic today and sold to our country.

You see, the box inscription is decorated with a semicircular laurel leaf in the middle. Yes. There is no naming. Your junior brother asks me for permission. This gun was named "Zhongzheng Yishi". Alas. ”
