In mid-September 27, Chiang Kai-shek came to Shanghai again and announced the news that he and Soong Meiling were going to get married. As soon as the news came out, it shocked the whole country, and newspapers everywhere rushed to spread the good news all over China, and even newspapers from various countries also released relevant news.

Although Chiang Kai-shek was in the wilderness, his popularity within the Kuomintang was also very great. Although it is now in the period of the Northern Expedition, the country is also in the situation of warlord separation.

However, when they heard that Chiang Kai-shek was going to get married, warlords all over the country still sent congratulatory telegrams, even if they were enemies of the revolutionary army.

I heard that during the melee of the people's ** lords, even if the head of the other party is caught, it is rare to shoot it, basically as long as you admit defeat and no longer control the army, you can have a life, and some are even fighting and killing the day before, and the next day it becomes a friendly army.

Moreover, in the warlord melee at that time, the mortality rate of soldiers was very small, basically as long as the advantage of one side was obvious, the other side either fled or surrendered, and there were few desperate deaths. It is the common people who are really dying, because of the years of war, the fields are barren, the strong men are scarce, and the military disasters are even worse, so it is the common people who are unlucky.

At the end of September, Chiang Kai-shek, accompanied by Song Ziwen, traveled east to Japan to visit Soong Meiling's mother and propose marriage to Soong's mother.

Although Song's mother did not approve of the marriage between Song Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek, the eldest daughter and his wife helped him, and Song Ziwen personally came to Japan as a lobbyist.

Besides, Song Meiling was already a twenty-nine-year-old girl at this time, and her relationship with Chiang Kai-shek was known to the world.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had finally achieved his goal, immediately returned to China with Soong Ziwen and began to prepare for his wedding of the century.

At noon on December 1, 1927, the front of the Majestic Hotel in the French Concession of Shanghai was bustling with activity, with hundreds of cars of all kinds already crowding the squares around the hotel in front of the hotel, and more than 1,000 gendarmes of the Second Division blocked all the streets around the Majestic Hotel.

It turned out that on the morning of this day, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling had just completed a grand wedding ceremony at the Song Mansion in Jinglintang, Kunshan Road, Shanghai.

In the afternoon, the wedding ball will be held at the Bund Majestic Hotel, and the new wedding will be held again under the auspices of Cai Yuanpei.

At the same time, Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Youth Gang, was responsible for maintaining order, and more than 1,300 celebrities from all walks of life and consuls from 16 countries, including the United States, Britain, Japan, Norway, and France, attended the wedding.

At this time, the convoy of the new-style wedding has set off from the Song House of Jinglintang on Kunshan Road in Shanghai, and is slowly marching towards the Majestic Hotel along the wide streets of Shanghai.

The long motorcade full of gifts was spectacular, and countless Shanghai citizens on both sides of the street witnessed the multi-million yuan wedding of the century.

In order to make the wedding a big picture, military vehicles opened the way everywhere the convoy passed, and the entire 1st Division was dispatched to guard both sides of the street.

Every time the wedding convoy passes through a provincial or municipal hall, a representative of the hall will drive a wedding car full of gifts to join the team, and these later ceremonial cars have been strictly vetted by the three tycoons of Shanghai in advance. The time and place of joining the convoy are strictly arranged.

Because of the increasing number of intersections, the fleet has soon developed from more than 100 cars to nearly 200 long fleets full of gifts.

Just when the convoy passed through the street intersection where the Huaxing Foreign Bank was located in the French Concession, I only heard the unusual sound of firecrackers at the street entrance kept ringing, and when the exclamations of the surrounding Shanghai citizens sounded, I saw two big cars with red colors appearing at the intersection of the Huaxing Foreign Bank.

The bodies of these two big cars are full of congratulatory messages congratulating Commander Jiang and Song Meiling on their new marriage, and just like that, these two cars are very different from the congratulatory vehicles that joined the team before.

As soon as these two cars appeared, they aroused the exclamations of all Shanghai citizens, entirely because there were two planes behind the two cars that were also full of streamers.

These two planes are two Ford III transport planes ordered by Li Tie from the United States, and the appearance of these two planes has been beautified, and the fuselage has been painted with "Zhongzheng" and "Meiling" respectively.

The interior of the aircraft has been luxuriously renovated, in addition to the original bathroom, the original ten seats have been changed to four sofa beds. There are also coffee tables, wine cabinets and other living facilities.

In this way, the two large transport planes were regarded by Huaxing Company as a congratulatory gift from Commander Jiang, and the top of the two planes also wore two huge butterfly ribbons, which were gifts for people at a glance.

When these two cars joined the wedding convoy, they immediately stole the limelight from all the cars. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling, who were still at the forefront of the convoy, were still wondering, why did this sudden cheer come so violently?

In addition, the masses on both sides of the street ran to the back of the convoy, shouting "go see the big plane" as they ran, causing Chiang Kai-shek to stop the convoy and ask what was going on.

When Chiang Kai-shek knew that it was Li Tie who sent the two planes, which attracted everyone's onlookers, he also laughed at the rare and strange Shanghai citizens.

Originally, he thought that Li Tie had given him two small planes, but when the entourage told him that they were two large transport planes, and the names were Zhongzheng and Meiling, he couldn't help but want to stop and take a look.

Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek was also a far-sighted man after all. So he resisted his curiosity despite his itching and ordered the convoy to move on.

It was not until noon that they arrived at the Majestic Hotel, and Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, who were planning to enter the hotel quickly, had a cordial exchange with people from all walks of life who had come to congratulate them at the entrance of the Majestic Hotel.

Until cars full of gifts passed in front of them, Chiang Kai-shek and his wife still had no intention of entering the hotel.

Finally, with the surprised voices of the consuls of the countries around him, I saw two floats full of ribbons in the distance pulling two planes that were also full of ribbons into everyone's eyes.

Hundreds of wedding cars, only Huaxing Yangxing's car is different, with big banners and colorful stripes, Li Tie from later generations naturally has a unique advantage in winning eyeballs.

Just a little dressing up, the two floats stand out from the crowd among hundreds of wedding cars. As for the two larger planes, they attracted the attention of all the guests present, after all, these two large planes are currently the most advanced transport aircraft in the world.

With the sophistication and comfort of these two aircraft, even ten years later, I am afraid that few aircraft will be able to catch up with the millimeter configuration of these two aircraft.

The consuls of various countries stepped forward to congratulate Chiang Kai-shek and his wife again, and their envy was palpable. Chiang Kai-shek gained a lot of face in front of the consuls.

When everyone greeted Chiang Kai-shek and his wife into the banquet hall of the Majestic Hotel, Song Meiling did not forget to ask: "Isn't the boss of this Huaxing Foreign Company Commander Jiang's little fellow countryman?" I didn't expect this little fellow to be so generous. These two custom-made super-millihua transport planes are not worth a million silver dollars? ”

Song Meiling even advised, "This little brother is so generous, he must not be treated badly in the future." Chiang Kai-shek immediately agreed, and in a few days he would be promoted, and then he would be given a real job. This made Song Meiling satisfied.

On December 1, the so-called wedding of the century between Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling, which cost several millions, was reported in newspapers all over the world.

Not to mention the unprecedented dance party of thousands of people in the Majestic Hotel, even the hundreds of wedding convoys full of gifts are the only ones for scorpion.

I heard that the gifts carried in this convoy alone are worth more than 10 million yuan, not to mention that when the Chinese wedding was held in the Song Mansion, I also received a large number of gifts from relatives and friends.

It can be said that the harvest of the Jiang couple's wedding is far more than the millions they spent.

And there are only two things that attract the most attention of this wedding, the first thing is that Song Meiling is wearing a white wedding dress, leading the trend of wearing white wedding dresses at weddings in China's high society in the next two decades.

The second thing was the two Ford Type 3 special planes that Huaxing gave to the Jiang couple. The bright exterior and luxurious interior immediately conquered the hearts of the world's rich.

This wedding not only made Huaxing famous, but even Ford in the United States also benefited a lot, I heard that in less than a week after the wedding photos were published, Ford received hundreds of inquiries about the parameters and price of this customized aircraft. In the end, in just one month, no less than 100 orders for these aircraft were received.

Such good news greatly encouraged Ford, and Ford sent a message of thanks to Huaxing Foreign Bank in Shanghai. And willing to carry out more in-depth cooperation with Shanghai Huaxing Company.

Because the interior modifications of these two aircraft are precisely from Li Tie's handiwork. They knew that Li Tie still had a lot of opinions about aircraft modification, especially when they learned that Huaxing already had newer aircraft design drawings in his laboratory in Shanghai, and they were ready to deepen their cooperation with Li Tie.

They have sent telegrams many times, inviting Li Tie to go to the United States. They wanted to talk to Li Tieshang about the possibility of becoming a strategic partnership.

And in return for Li Tie's constructive suggestion, they have specially customized a Ford IV verification aircraft with a larger body, more horsepower, faster flight speed, and stronger endurance.

A month later, the aircraft will be sent to China, Li Tie is welcome to receive it, and test flight, Ford hopes that this aircraft can be further improved, if Li Tie does not dislike it, he can also try to take this plane to travel around the world. Because the endurance of this aircraft reached an astonishing four and a half thousand kilometers.

Ford has named this unique large aircraft Huaxing, which is a gift from their Ford company to Li Tie. And until Li Tie improves this aircraft, they will only produce this prototype and will no longer accept orders for anything of the same type.

In other words, Huaxing will be a unique special plane in the world that belongs to Li Tie. See, who said that the Americans would not slip away and shoot horses, they know the temper of the Chinese, and the horses are just right.

It seems that Ford has tasted the benefits of advertising, as long as Li Tie really travels around the world on this plane, it is equivalent to advertising for their Ford company again, and maybe it can attract a large number of orders.
