Song Zhewu's return to Laiyuan this time was not like Inner Mongolia when he went to Manchuria in August, this time he only ordered the First Division of the Baggage Regiment to return from Inner Mongolia with a large number of captured materials, as well as the weapons and ammunition given to him by Zhang Xueliang for the Manchurian battle, and under the repeated reversal of hundreds of trucks; He himself led a division and a large number of recruits and technicians, with dozens of captured heavy artillery pieces and more than 20 tanks, and took a train from Harbin to Laiyuan via Shenyang, Shanhaiguan, Beiping, and Shijiazhuang.

This time, Zhang Xueliang was busy enough, because Song Zhewu and his people actually used more than a dozen special trains to send the Fourth Route Army away, because Song Zhewu had too many people!

As the baggage regiment left Inner Mongolia, several thousand wounded had already been transported away ahead of schedule, and although some lightly wounded had returned to the team in the past month, there were only more than 28,000 men in the first division. However, Han Guangdi and Liang Zhongjia achieved great success in recruiting soldiers, and as soon as they heard that it was the Fourth Route Army recruiting, and they had generous salaries, especially when they saw that Han Guangdi and Liang Zhongjia, two heroes of resistance against the Soviet Union, had joined the Fourth Route Army, and the people who asked to join the Fourth Route Army were very enthusiastic, and more than 40,000 people were recruited in more than half a month, including more than 8,000 students alone.

Xiao Guodong also called to say that since the Fourth Route Army won a great victory in Manchuria and recovered Outer Mongolia, many young students from all over the country have come to Laiyuan to ask to serve as soldiers, and now more than 6,000 people have been recruited, which makes Song Zhewu very happy. He is not short of soldiers now, what he lacks is educated people, and his air force, scientific research institutes, and even some special positions in factories, including the political axe organs in the future, all of these places need a large number of college and middle school students.

In addition, there is another thing that also makes Song Zhewu very happy, he asked Han Guangdi and Liang Zhongjia to recruit soldiers at the same time, but also recruit technicians, in the major cities in the Northeast, Harbin and Shenyang are relatively developed industrial places, there are many skilled workers, Song Zhewu's treatment is twice as much as they are in the local area, so thousands of people were recruited at once, and there were more than a dozen engineers.

Song Zhewu not only lamented that there are so many talents in the Northeast. At this time, because the Northeast has been relatively stable, industry and commerce are very developed, and the industrial base here is also very strong, much stronger than that of Kannai, and there are naturally many skilled workers. There were even nearly 1,000 Jews among them.

At that time, almost every country in the world was anti-Semitic and anti-Semitic, and the only country that did not have a history of anti-Semitism was China. At this time, there were probably more than 18 million Jews in the world, mainly in Europe and Russia, with more than 12 million in Europe and more than 2 million in Russia.

In March 1881, the assassination of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, and since one of the arrested suspects was Jewish, a wave of persecution and murder of Jews once again spread throughout Russia and Eastern Europe, and thousands of Jews were killed in the "pogrom" (Russian for near-extinction massacre), and basic personal safety was no longer guaranteed. So, in this context, the influence of Jewish Zionism rapidly spread among the Jews of Russia and Eastern Europe. In 1882 an organization called Chibbatzion was founded to organize Jewish immigration to Palestine.

After that, there were many waves of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitism in Russia and Europe, and at this time, the Jews who were organized by the Zion Organization to help return to the Palestinian areas were not only limited in number, but also mainly engaged in agriculture, because the Zion Organization had a plan to first control a large amount of land in the Palestinian areas and gain a firm foothold. Therefore, priority was given to the return of Jews engaged in agricultural production to the Palestinian areas, while Jews who could not work in agriculture were to find safe shelters for the time being, and China, which had no ill feelings towards Jews, was undoubtedly the best place for Jews in Russia.

Most of the Jews who came to China were concentrated in Harbin, and most of them were workers and merchants. The merchants were fine, but the workers were more difficult, because most of them had no money and could not open their own factories, and Zion had no funds to provide them, which were used to buy land in the Palestinian areas.

Knowing that Song Zhewu wanted to recruit technicians, the head of the Zion Organization's branch in Harbin, Pinsco, after discussing with relevant personnel, felt that this was a better opportunity, so he took the initiative to find Song Zhewu, and proposed that if Song Zhewu allowed it, he could help Song Zhewu recruit Jewish technicians, there are thousands of skilled Jewish workers in Harbin, and even some engineering and technical personnel.

Song Zhewu naturally welcomed Pinsko's suggestion, because Russia's industry was much more developed than that of China during this period, and the average technical level of workers was naturally higher than that of Chinese workers.

Another reason is that the Jews have a large number of scientific and technological talents in various European countries, and it would be great if they could get their help; In addition, they still have a lot of "outside the hospital" influence in the United Kingdom, especially in the United States, and they are likely to help Song Zhewu in some things, which will be very beneficial to dealing with the United States and Britain in the future.

After getting Song Zhewu's decision to welcome them, Pinsko was a little embarrassed to put forward two conditions: first, these people should bring their families; Second, these people should be concentrated in one place as much as possible.

Song Zhewu understood what Pinsko meant, mainly because he was worried that their people would be treated unfairly, which Song Zhewu fully understood, so he happily agreed. In order to give the Jews a good impression, Song Zhewu warmly hosted a banquet for Pinsko, clearly expressed his sympathy for the Jews, and finally gave Pinsk 100,000 oceans as support for the restoration of Zion.

Song Zhewu knew that in the history of his previous life, the Israelis had always been very friendly to China, the reason was that China had never been anti-Semitic and anti-Semitic, and he still remembered that there was an Israeli prime minister who lived in Harbin at this time, but Song Zhewu couldn't remember his name, otherwise Song Zhewu would be happy to "invest" in advance.

When Song Zhewu returned to Laiyuan, he was warmly welcomed by all the military and political personnel of the Fourth Route Army in Laiyuan, except for Zhang Tao, who was in Zhengzhou with his team.

In fact, this welcome has already begun, as soon as Song Zhewu stepped into Taihang Mountain, every time he passed through a place, the people along the way would spontaneously come out to welcome Song Zhewu and his Fourth Route Army, people wanted to see with their own eyes the recovery of Outer Mongolia, and was compared by Chairman Jiang to Huo Quai's great hero, Song Zhewu Zhang De, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army.

Since Song Zhewu had already telegraphed to Xiao Guodong, the recruits, skilled workers, Jews and their families, including Song Zhewu, had captured 24 intact tanks of the Soviet army, but no one could drive them, so he had to trouble Zhang Xueliang to send instructors, and these people were all picked up by the corresponding personnel and resettled everywhere.

The Jewish mechanics, because they all had dependents, were placed in a large number of unused adobe houses that had been built; The engineers were also picked up by the Institute, which also had some vacant houses, and it was not a problem to house them; The tank instructors of the Northeast Army were picked up by the instructor, and those tanks Song Zhewu were also handed over to the instructor; As for the recruits and those Northeast technicians, they had to be placed in the barracks first, where only some of them were placed in the barracks. Because there are so many new arrivals, the rest are only living in tents.

Fortunately, the winter in Laiyuan is not very cold, and these tents are all felt tents produced by the Fourth Route Army Clothing Factory, and they are still very warm with charcoal fires in them.

Not only Song Zhewu will not do the new house, but Xiao Guodong will also do the same, they don't want to make a lot of effort to build a good house and move out after only a few days.

As soon as Song Zhewu arrived in Laiyuan, after a brief meeting with the main military and political personnel, Xiao Guodong asked Li Rujuan to "arrest" Song Zhewu in the name of rest.

Song Zhewu naturally understands Xiao Guodong's kindness, although he and Li Rujuan have already established a relationship, but when the two are together, they talk more about work, and there is almost no love in private. Song Zhewu was not a very open person in his previous life, but now because of the "generation gap" in his heart, he is even more obedient in this matter. Li Rujuan is from everyone's background, and his parents are more orthodox old-fashioned people, so Li Rujuan is not a very romantic person, and the two get along like this, but they can accept each other.

The two rode horses and walked all the way, and Song Zhewu told Li Rujuan all the way about their trip to Manchuria. Li Rujuan listened with great interest, and couldn't help but let out a few soft exclamations in the thrilling place, and laughed coquettishly in the happy place. At this time, Li Rujuan really looks like a woman in love, not like a female manager who manages huge capital.

Li Rujuan's residence has long been moved to Xinghua Company, as soon as she entered the house, Li Rujuan was immediately busy, one time to see if the bath water was still hot, and then to the kitchen to see how the food was prepared, although very busy, but everyone could see from the smile on Li Rujuan's face that her psychology was like drinking honey, very sweet.

After taking a bath, Song Zhewu was relaxed, and in the days on the road, he had never taken a bath at all, and the greasy on his body could be rubbed off without water.

Ye Qingye Zi and the sisters withdrew with the guards early in the morning, and the servants were also signaled by Liang Bi to withdraw after serving the wine and food, and for a while only Song Zhewu and Li Rujuan were left in the house.

It is said that a long absence is better than a new marriage, this is indeed true, although Song Zhewu and Li Rujuan are not married, but Song Zhewu and Li Rujuan have been separated for several months, seeing Li Rujuan, especially in such a two-person world, looking at Li Rujuan's happy face full of blush who has been carefully retouched, Song Zhewu is not only in love, but also inevitably takes the initiative to have a good time with Li Rujuan. At this moment, Song Zhewu's shadow of the generation gap was completely abandoned by him......
