For tonight's banquet, Li Wentian put a lot of thought into it.

Li Wentian specially invited several chefs from Siwei Zhai to divide them into four dishes: Jin, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Shandong, and each cuisine selected 12 of the most distinctive dishes. However, these four dishes are not served together, but are divided into four times. That is, after each dish that the people attending the banquet have tasted, they will remove all of them and go on the dishes of the next cuisine.

The reason why Li Wentian did this was for the sole purpose of prolonging the banquet as long as possible, and at least to keep these people here without using force before the start of the operation at 10 o'clock in the evening.

Because Yan Xishan cares very much about the feelings of the most basic personnel about him Yan Xishan, he is very concerned about the salaries of soldiers and ordinary civilian low-level staff, and Yan Xishan has many eyes and ears, and few bold and reckless people dare to deduct the salary below the greedy ink, not to mention the fish and meat township, using power for personal gain and making some extra money. In particular, Yan Xishan has always been strict with officials at all levels, and the more senior officials are, the more so. As a result, the life of officials in Shanxi is relatively harder.

People like Zhang Dasan, Kong Wei, Zhou Shilian and the Taiyuan police chief are okay, there are often banquets from people from all walks of life, especially businessmen, all kinds of wine banquets have not only been seen, but also often participated.

But the others are different, among these people, especially the officers at the brigade and regiment levels, one after another exquisite dishes firmly caught their eyes, at the beginning they still watched Zhou Shilian move his chopsticks, they followed to eat a few bites, and slowly followed a few cups of clear Fenjiu, and under the frequent warm invitations of Li Wentian and Ye Changgui, they had no scruples, not only threw off their cheeks and ate big, but also frequently toasted with Ye Changgui, who had long been known for his large amount of wine, and the mood of the banquet was excellent for a while......

At Wusu Airport, Wu Jin, accompanied by Wang Zhu and Mike, had a better atmosphere for entertaining Yang Yushan and Liu Jie in the newly built three-story building of the Air Force Headquarters.

Yang Yushan and Liu Jie have been in a very good mood since they were handed over to Song Zhewu by Yan Xishan, not only as soon as the two of them arrived at Song Zhewu, they were each raised two levels, and the military salary was also several times higher than that of the personnel of the same level in the Jin Sui army, no longer dozens of hundreds of oceans, but hundreds of thousands of oceans, the most obvious is Liu Jie, who is already a salary of 1,200 oceans per month.

The main thing is that both of them feel that they have a place to use now. Although Yang Yushan has not seen most of his peers such as Ba Yuzao and Zeng Yijing in addition to Wang Zhu and Mike so far, he has seen the technical level of Wang Zhu and Mike, in Yang Yushan's view, not to mention that Wang Zhu and Mike have always praised Ba Yuzao, that is, these two are also first-class talents in aircraft design and manufacturing, and their level is definitely not worse than that of French aeronautical engineers.

There is also the aircraft manufacturing equipment that has been shipped to make Yang Yushan even more ecstatic, although the Shanxi aircraft factory also has a lot of equipment, but compared with the equipment they shipped, it is too much worse, not to mention that the equipment of the small aircraft maintenance plant transported by Curtis is very complete, very advanced, that is, the aircraft maintenance equipment of the Soviet army captured by Song Zhewu also made Yang Yushan very happy, and only with these equipment can completely set up the best small aircraft factory in China.

When Wang Zhu told him that some large aircraft manufacturing equipment would be bought back from abroad this year, Yang Yushan was even more surprised. Although only the hangar and factory are being built, and the equipment has not yet been installed, the three of them still have a lot of thought about how to install and recombine these equipment, and after repeated research by the three of them, they have come up with a preliminary plan, if the large-scale equipment that Wang Zhu said arrives, a medium-sized aircraft factory will soon appear. How can this not make Yang Yushan happy!

Liu Jie is now the commander of the second division of the Air Force, and his second division is the bomber division, although he still only has 27 DH-10s under his command, but this also makes him very happy, this is a real bomber. Although the DH-10 was from the end of World War I, these aircraft were well maintained, and their shiny bodies were painted with tung oil, and they made a solid "thump" sound when slapped with a hand.

What excites Liu Jie the most is that according to the training plan of the Air Force Corps, his second division, including the 20 pilots of the original Shanxi Aviation Corps, now has to conduct flight training every day, and these young men no longer have to just drive the training plane to the sky.

Wu Jin invited Liu Jie and Yang Yushan to a banquet today to tell them two things: First, Gao Zhihang's First Division, which had repeatedly conducted transfer flight training in Laiyuan, Taiyuan, and Changzhi in the past few months, would soon be officially stationed at Wusu Airport, and as soon as Gao Zhihang arrived, the First and Second Divisions would fly to Zhengzhou Airport to assist the ground troops in combat; Second, Ba Yuzao and others in Laiyuan are about to all come to Wusu.

Because the work will be very busy in the future, so treat everyone. It was just a banquet for the engineers and technicians of the aircraft manufacturing plant, as well as the personnel of the former Shanxi Aviation Corps Aviation School, which was set up in the officers' canteen next to the headquarters building, accompanied by the staff officers of the headquarters, and Liu Jie, Yang Yushan and others were in the small dining hall of the headquarters.

Now Wu Jin, Mike, and Wang Zhu agree with Yang Yushan and Liu Jie, and they all agree that these two are talents, and their commander has picked up a treasure again. Therefore, in order not to leave any estrangement in the hearts of the two in the future, under the instruction of Wu Jin, Mike and Wu Jin, who had a lot of alcohol, frequently toasted the two, and Yang Yushan and Liu Jie, who were in a very good mood, also kept raising their glasses in return.

However, what was extremely incongruous with the joyous atmosphere of the banquet was that the guards at the airport had quietly entered the garrison positions of the airport in full gear, and the area around the officers' canteen where the pilots and engineers and technicians were holding banquets had also been quietly surrounded by the garrison. Even next door to the small dining room of the headquarters, there are also guards from the headquarters waiting for them.

On the contrary, in Beizhang Village, Nanguan, Taiyuan, six miles away from Wusu Airport, there was not much warm atmosphere in the newly built Northern Military Academy. Whether it was the red-brick barracks and instructors' dormitory area for the former Shanxi trainees who had already been built and moved in, or the people in the tents of the former Fourth Route Army Teaching Corps who were scattered in tents because the barracks had not been built, they had already turned off the lights and gone to bed in accordance with the regulations. Only the gates and the sentry posts on all sides, as well as a few rooms in the academic building, were still lit.

In the teaching building of the Northern Military Academy, at the insistence of Han Guangdi, a small dining room was also set up. In the past, he, the principal and instructors, went to the restaurant outside the school to eat, and Rong Honglu couldn't eat the food cooked by the school's husband. However, after all, he is now the vice principal, and the major affairs of the school have to listen to Han Guangdi, the principal.

Rong Honglu, who had long been very angry about Yan Xishan's appointment of him as vice principal, originally did not want to participate in Han Guangdi's banquet, but today's event was special, Han Guangdi told him that because of the expansion of the troops of the original Fourth Route Army, some grassroots officers needed to be transferred from the fourth batch of cadets of the Northern Military Academy and urgently sent to Xinxiang and Zhengzhou.

Rong Honglu can not come to other things, but he must be there in this matter, and he must participate in it. Yan Xishan privately warned him that he had to carry it out, and this was a good opportunity to go to the original Fourth Route Army to join the sand. After doing this, he Rong Honglu still patted his ass and left, he was not in the mood to drink anything.

But when he arrived at the school in the evening, Han Guangdi told him and Provost Zhang Dianjia that they would have a banquet for them and a group of instructors first, and then study the matter of selecting students.

Rong Honglu endured his surname, drank with Han Guangdi and a group of new and old instructors for a long time, and looked at the watch It was already ten o'clock, and he couldn't help but ask Han Guangdi, Principal Han: "It's late, since the front troops are in urgent need of officer expansion, I think we should do a good job of selecting and assigning personnel, and then drink?" ”

Han Guangdi, who had been secretly looking at the floor clock in the corner, said with a smile: "Okay, today's wine is almost drunk, let's get down to business first, I have drawn up a list, and I want to ask Vice President Rong, Provost Zhang, and all the instructors to take a closer look." ”

He turned around and said to his adjutant, "Adjutant Liu, go and get the list I have prepared." As he spoke, he gave Adjutant Liu a look. Adjutant Liu, who was in the Spiritual Divine Society, agreed and got up and went out.

However, Adjutant Liu did not go to Han Guangdi's principal's office, but went downstairs directly and went straight to a tent a hundred meters away from the building. Soon, more than a dozen officers of the Fourth Route Army gathered in the tents quietly rushed out and rushed to the various tents. The cadets of the Fourth Route Army, who lived in various tents, also immediately rushed to the arsenal in the northwest corner of the camp quietly and quickly in a very tacit manner. Judging from the time they came out, these people should have already dressed and waited in the tent.

Weapons from military schools are not allowed to be brought to the barracks, and after training every day, they must be returned to the storehouse for safekeeping. The door of the arsenal had been opened at this time, and the cadets of the Fourth Route Army quickly rushed to different regions under the leadership of their respective captains after receiving weapons and ammunition.

Soon, the area around the camp of the former Shanxi cadets in the military academy was full of cadets of the Fourth Route Army with loaded guns and ammunition, and machine guns were also erected on various favorable terrains, and even the roof of the school's commanding height, the teaching building, was shaking.

More than twenty minutes had passed, and Rong Honglu asked Han Guangdi impatiently, "Why is it so slow?" It's been twenty minutes, and a list hasn't come back? I think such an adjutant should be dismissed. ”

As soon as Rong Honglu's words fell, Adjutant Liu entered the room and nodded at Han Guangdi, who was no longer polite, put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Let them all come in." ”
