…… After the return of the Five Decrees. I know that the country is preparing for a general election. But; Now the prestige of the president is unmatched, the people support it, and the army obeys, as long as the president announces his participation in this election, the re-election of the president is almost a foregone conclusion, and the other presidential candidates are just green leaves that accompany the safflower.

Since the president resigned as leader of the United Front a year and a half ago, the United Front has been divided several times, and several small political party groups have appeared in the National Assembly that do not obey the orders of the United Front or the National League. It is not easy to say who will die, and it is not a problem for the United Front to win more votes, but these small party groups that represent the traditional power of the countryside will not be able to rise in the new Congress.

As a soldier, Meng Fei is of course inconvenient to point fingers on political topics, and he also knows that the president has always hated military "interference in politics", although the president himself is a soldier?

However, Meng Fei insisted that the current country can only rely on the military to govern the country, for no other reason, but it is just a weak meat, went to Germany, although the German language is not good, but Meng Fei has been exposed to a lot of social Darwinist works through Chinese students, and he still has a little understanding of the current international rules of the game, as a weak country, China is the fish on the chopping block of the great powers, if you want to avoid being swallowed by the great powers, you can only rely on the soldiers of this country, It can only be led by a military strongman with a keen strategic vision. In Meng Fei's view, Congress is completely superfluous, as long as the president is arbitrary, the country can get rid of the fate of being mermaids, this is a fact, but also Meng Fei's confidence, this confidence is also given by the president, the president has proved his talent with facts, compared with the president, the members of the Congress are simply a bunch of plays, and it is a clumsy act, which will only cause trouble for the president, and can not help the country to become rich and strong at all.

With a hint of ridicule at the congressman, Meng Fei sat in the car and had an overly enthusiastic conversation with the group of naval officers around him, after all, a. It is flying in the sky, and the other is swimming in the sea, and the opportunity to sit together and chat is indeed very rare, so don't take this opportunity to chat. Enough, how can it be worthy of the real German cigarette can that Brigadier Meng touched out?

Didn't talk for too long, a German car drove out of the presidential palace. When passing by Meng Fei's Chinese car, the German car stopped, and a foreigner wearing the uniform of the German Sixth Army stepped out of the car and greeted Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Guangyang in the car.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, congratulations on your promotion to lieutenant colonel, as an old friend, I very much hope to see you promoted to colonel, brigadier general, or even admiral."

Zhang Guangyang sat up straight, smiled and said to the foreigner: "Mr. Hannagan, you are really joking, I dare not hope that I can be a commodore admiral." I'm satisfied, I'm a person, I don't have any ambitions. ”

"No, no! In my opinion. Mr. President, you attach great importance to your submarine forces, even to the point of going mad, and I think that as long as you are very prominent, becoming an admiral is only a matter of time. I just hope that when you really become an admiral, you can take care of my business more, although it is impossible for an ordinary officer to directly intervene in the procurement of military equipment, but the advice of an admiral officer has some weight. ”

"Well, you'll have to wait. The national elections will be held after the autumn, when then. If another person becomes president, I'm afraid that I won't pay attention to submarines. Zhang Guangyang smiled bitterly.

Well, no! I firmly believe that President Zhao will win this presidential election without any suspense, provided that he participates in this presidential election, of course. In fact, I have come to the presidential palace today to cheer for Mr. President, and in order to ensure that Mr. President wins re-election, I have decided to donate a sum of money to Mr. President's campaign team, which is not only the fund, but also my confidence, and there are many people who have similar confidence like me. However, I am a little puzzled that Mr. President has not officially announced his candidacy for a new presidential election. ”

Hannagan's words surprised Zhang Guangyang, and the other officers who listened to their conversation were also a little surprised.

"Perhaps, the president has his own plans, and we, the soldiers, should stay away from politics."

Zhang Guangyang nodded, it was the end of the conversation, Hannagan's intention was very clear to him, the other party wanted to ask him to make a statement to the president, and ask the president to decide to participate in the new presidential election as soon as possible, but as a soldier, Zhang Guangyang knows what the president hates the most, military interference in politics is not a welcome move, even if it is just to put forward an opinion, you can't delay your future for the sake of a foreigner's arms deal.

Hannagan, a smart man, knew that this was not the case, so he nodded politely to the other officers, and then returned to his German car, leaving the traffic-restricted area in front of the presidential palace with a hint of apprehension.

Except for Zhang Guangyang, most of the other officers did not know Hannagan, and only Meng Fei had a good time to deal with. But it is also unclear the details of the ban on the masses and the Germans. Dry is the crowd to two; Dirty asks Hannagan about his background.

"Hannagan is friends with the president, I met when I was in Wuhan, Hannagan used to run a coal mine, and later co-founded an oil mine with Chinese businessmen, and last year he became a shareholder in Lihe Foreign Bank in Germany, and now he is also an arms captive, specializing in selling the latest German naval equipment to the Admiralty, some time ago, the center purchased professional equipment for manufacturing submarines from Germany, and I came forward to negotiate with Hannagan, and I also knew him like this, but it was only a general acquaintance, and I couldn't talk about it much, after all, He is a businessman, don't look at him often wears military uniforms, but after all, he has been retired for many years, and he really has nothing to do with soldiers like us, but he just likes the president's appreciation of me, and wants to use me to make some money for them to pay more courtesies and foreign deals

After all, there are many military secrets involved, and it is better to hide many words in his heart, and a military tribunal is not an ornament after all.

Originally, Meng Fei was going to ask about some personal matters, but Zhang Guangyang pointed forward.

"Look, the presidential palace let us in."

Meng Fei looked up and saw that the barricade at the main entrance of the presidential palace was being moved aside by the soldiers, and an officer was standing there gesturing to Meng Fei, so Meng Fei hurriedly moved the car, carried these officers, and entered the presidential palace unhurriedly, and drove the car to the front of the commander's hall.

There was already a chamberlain waiting there. After Meng Fei stopped the car, the adjutant led a few people to a reception room next to the office building, where they sat down for a while and served tea and snacks.

Several officers were a little surprised, they thought that the president had called them over to give them a promotion, but when they walked to the reception room, they saw that it was empty, and there were only a few of them, which was obviously a bit strange, because there were more than 200 officers who had been promoted to military ranks, and this small reception room was absolutely unfitting.

Several people gathered together and muttered a few words. Before they could figure out the president's intentions, they only heard a password from outside, and Zhao Bei, the president of the Republic of China and the supreme commander of the 6th Navy, came over.

Meng Fei, Zhang Guangyang and others hurriedly stood up to greet each other, and when they reached the door, the president had already stepped into the reception room first.

"No need to be polite, sit back, it's not a formal promotion ceremony, the promotion ceremony will be held in the auditorium half an hour later. The reason why I have called a few of you over to talk now is because I have been assigned a task. Originally, I was going to discuss it with you in the afternoon, but since you arrived so early, it would be better to talk about it now, so that we can make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

When Zhao Bei said this, he took a document from the adjutant and handed it to Zhang Guangyang.

"Zhang Guangyang, you take a look at this document first, and if you have anything you don't understand, you will ask me later, and now you and your colleagues are here to carefully study this document. Meng Fei, you arrived so early, just in time, come with me to the office, I have something for you. ”

After a few words, Zhao Bei turned around and left, Meng Fei didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly followed, entered the two-story building in Tongtong and Shuaitang, and then followed the president into the No. 1 office?

"Meng Fei, you sit first. Four tigers, tea

Zhao Bei motioned for Meng Fei to sit down on the sand. Walked to the filing cabinet behind the desk, took out the key to open the lock on the filing cabinet, took a stack of documents from the filing cabinet, and then walked to Meng Fei's side, handed him the documents, and sat down opposite.

"Meng Fei, I called you over, I have a very important task entrusted to you. This document is top secret, you know the rules, show it to you. It is to let you have a bottom in your heart

Meng Fei nodded and carefully flipped through the documents.

This document is actually a battle plan. To be precise, it is a reconnaissance plan, a strategic reconnaissance plan, according to this reconnaissance plan, Meng Fei will command a flying unit to carry out aerial reconnaissance of the Liaodong Peninsula and the northern region of Korea, and this operation will last one month, and the air force must completely grasp the situation of the Japanese troops stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula and the northern part of Korea within this month's time, and in order to ensure the smooth implementation of this strategic reconnaissance plan, the aviation unit of the Sixth Army has made a series of preparations, from photographic equipment to personnel selection. From the navigation route to the rescue operation in case of emergency, every step is concrete, and moreover, for the sake of the secrecy of the operation. All planes on reconnaissance missions had to fly solo and alone, and even if they made a forced landing in the Japanese-occupied zone, the pilots had to find a way to destroy the cameras, and if they were caught by the Japanese, they had to insist that they were "lost in course."

After reading this reconnaissance plan, Meng Fei became a little excited, and he instinctively believed that this was likely to be an important step in the center's decision to take military action against Japan, and that in the future Sino-Japanese war, the air force unit would make great contributions.

"Rest assured, Commander-in-Chief. The aviation units will certainly accomplish their tasks with perseverance and indomitable faith

Meng Fei closed the document, stood upright, and just said a simple sentence, but this sentence was enough, for him, Zhao Bei completely trusted, moreover, after more than a year of industrial construction, the aircraft factory in Wuhan has produced quite a good special reconnaissance aircraft, and the degree, altitude, and range can ensure the completion of this strategic reconnaissance mission.
