Less than 5 o'clock, the city and nearby people began to gather to the party site, in order to maintain the order of the scene, the open space of the party site was separated by ropes, divided into 6 venues, in the venue, a day ago has been set up for 60,000 people to watch the program benches, of course, these so-called benches are simple, that is, a few wooden piers on top of a long plank. For ease of viewing, all the benches are lower the closer to the stage and higher back to the back.

The audience seats in the venue are divided into three rows, each row of two blocks is a column, the middle seats are reserved for the common people, and the two sides are reserved for the troops. It is impossible for all the troops of the security headquarters to come, and they cannot sit down when they come, and each division can only come with one battalion; The artillery regiment, the baggage regiment, the medical brigade of the headquarters, the communication battalion directly under the headquarters and other directly subordinate personnel are all in place, so there is the cavalry regiment brought by Wei Guanghui, because there are many Mongolian people, so they were all approved by Xiao Guodong. In order to try to get their battalion going, several regiment commanders quarreled all over the world, and in the end, it was not just the head of the division that sent a battalion into an organized formation, but each company transferred a platoon, plus the personnel directly under the department. This is good to calm down.

The personnel of the army are okay to say, if they really can't do it, they will give orders, but the common people are a little difficult to do, every household is dragging their families to bring their mouths, and the middle two seats left for them have long been occupied, but there are still many people who have no place to sit and can only stand in the back.

Except for the troops who stayed in the city and had the tasks of city defense, patrol, and vigilance, all the other troops that had no tasks were pulled to the scene by Ye Changgui at the request of Song Zhewu to help Wang Xinggang's pickets maintain order. The special brigade has a squadron guarding the scene, and the rest of the personnel go to the perimeter to stand guard.

When Song Zhewu accompanied Shang Zhen, Zhang Zhizhong, Lin Wei and others to the scene, dozens of blazing bonfires had been lit around the venue, reflecting the surroundings of the scene very brightly. The two diesel generators brought in from Wang Xu's communications battalion roared from afar, and the electricity provided made dozens of spotlights glow white, and the purple-red curtain on the stage and the ribbons and tassels tied with colored silk around them were brilliant under the light of the lights, and it was a joyful scene.

The reed shed for VIPs is semi-enclosed in order to keep warm, only on the side facing the stage, 1 meter above the ground, until the roof of the shed, and the other sides are tightly sealed. There is a large round table in the shed, which is full of dried fruits and tea, there is no seasonal fresh fruit in this season, and there are more than a dozen pots of red charcoal fire around the shed, and the whole shed is warm.

Song Zhewu led everyone down the ladder from the small door at the back of the shed to the shed, and let Shang Zhen, Zhang Zhizhong, and Lin Wei sit in the middle of the round table facing the stage, and he and Xiao Guodong sat on both sides, and the four division commanders and Wang Xu, Yan Yangchu, Meng Chu, and Secretary Chen sat on both sides.

Everyone sat down, and the orderlies came and poured tea for everyone. Shang Zhen sniffed the fragrance of tea carefully: "Good tea!" Wen Ge, your tea should be this year's 'Guizhou Yunwu', it's not easy to buy it if you have money, when I go, you have to bring me some. "Shang Zhen doesn't smoke, but he drinks tea very well, and he is not good at talking about other things, so he is not welcome to this tea.

"This is given to me by several merchants in the printing and dyeing industry in Shanghai a few years ago, a total of eighteen kinds, eighteen catties each, when you go back, one per person." Song Zhewu said with some heartache. As soon as this tea was delivered, it was snatched away by Sun Jiahui, Xiao Guodong, Wang Xu and others. Zhang Yafei and the three of them heard that there was good tea, and they also went to some with a dead face, but fortunately, a few of them didn't know how to taste tea, Song Zhewu picked up some slightly worse ones among the eighteen kinds of famous teas, fooled them away, and let Wang Xu and Xiao Guodong say that he was slamming the door and deceiving honest people.

Lin Wei and Zhang Zhizhong also have this preference, knowing that such tea is worth a lot of money, Lin Wei said with a smile: "Wenge, these merchants are really willing to pay for it, I'm afraid these teas won't be able to come down without tens of thousands of oceans." ”

"Tens of thousands of oceans?" Song Zhewu thought to himself, only the eighteen catties of fine Yunnan Pu'er are worth tens of thousands of oceans, and these teas can't be delivered without 200,000 yuan.

Shang Zhen took over the conversation and said with some boasting: "Brother Lin, you don't know this, they sent Wen Ge tens of thousands of oceans of good tea, this is nothing at all, Wen Ge didn't let his dyeing factory sell their cloth across the Yangtze River, this is enough to give them face, otherwise, it is normal for them to receive a few million less a year." Shang Zhen explained the matter of Zhenbang Dyeing Factory to several people in detail. Not only Zhang Zhizhong and Lin Wei, but also Yan Yangchu, Meng Chu, and Secretary Chen were also stunned when they heard it.

Zhang Zhizhong looked at Song Zhewu in surprise and said: "Wen Ge, you are very good at leading and training troops, and you can be said to be an excellent general; With a unique political vision and a clear analysis of the current situation, you can say that you have the foresight of a politician. I thought that you were only proficient in the way of economics, so you ran a few of your factories in a prosperous manner, but I didn't expect you to be proficient in science and technology, amazing! Terrific! After saying two great things, he paused for a moment, and then asked solemnly: "Wenge, what else do you have that we don't know about?" ”

Xiao Guodong refilled the tea for everyone, and said: "Education Chief Zhang, you are really right, Wen Ge is still outstanding, you will know in a while." ”

At this time, Wang Xinggang, who was entertaining those reporters in another reed shed, came over to ask if the party would start on time, Song Zhewu nodded in agreement, so everyone's eyes turned to the stage.

In a burst of cheerful music, the purple curtain slowly opened, and the background of the stage immediately attracted everyone's attention. In the background, in the reckless mountains, a majestic and majestic Great Wall winds on it, and the nearby Great Wall scene is tall and handsome, very majestic. "This is the Badaling Great Wall." Shang Zhen said with great certainty. "Yes, Chairman Shang has a good eye, this is indeed the Badaling Great Wall." Song Zhewu said complimentally.

Today's party was co-hosted by Fang Zhen, Wang Yali, and Li Rujuan, and a novel opening speech of the three won the following bursts of applause, and the three of them said in unison, "I wish the Laiyuan military and civilians a happy night!" Later, the first program of Peking Opera "Fragment of the West Chamber" was reported. With the sound of drums, the troupe invited from Peking began to perform.

The reaction of the people in the audience below is very enthusiastic, it is not easy to watch a play in ordinary times, and many families are nervous about the festival. This year is different, Commander Song of the Security Brigade not only sent food and clothing, but also invited everyone to bring in a troupe, and I heard that these amiable soldiers also performed for the common people, which made these people even more interested, and from time to time let out bursts of applause.

The soldiers were also very excited, almost all of them were peasants, and they rarely watched plays, but the troops were disciplined and did not dare to make loud noises when they sat in the ranks. The phalanx of the cavalry regiment was very lively, and from time to time there were cheerful cheers, often mixed with a few words of excitement. Wei Guanghui couldn't sit still, and shouted to the guards to stop it. Song Zhewu waved his hand to stop him: "Your troops are expanding rapidly, and there are many Mongolian people, so it is normal for military discipline to be loose, and it is necessary to strengthen discipline education in the future." Everyone is happy for today's holiday, and if they make a fuss, it can add some joy, so don't interfere. ”

Different from the enthusiastic reaction of the audience below, these people in the reed shed, except for Shang Zhen, Meng Chu, and Secretary Chen, everyone else is not very interested in these old-fashioned programs. Yan Yangchu, who also had a good conversation with Meng Chu and Secretary Chen at the beginning, saw that both of them were attracted by the opera performance, and several of Song Zhewu's division commanders here were hindered by the presence of Shang Zhen, Zhang Zhizhong, and Lin Wei, so they didn't talk much, Yan Yangchu, who liked the excitement, couldn't sit still, and said to Song Zhewu with a smile: "Wen Ge, you can't be too stingy, I heard Xinggang say, you still have some French whiskey, take it out, can we drink it too." Song Zhewu smiled and shouted to Wang Xinggang, who was sitting on the side: "Xinggang, if you leak military secrets, you will be punished to get wine immediately." Wang Xinggang grinned at Yan Yangchu and immediately arranged for someone to get the wine.

After a while, I took the wine, a total of 6 bottles of French wine. Yan Yangchu took it and looked at it, and said with some surprise: "Wen Ge, you are too extravagant!" Whisky from 1840, that's a lot of money! ”

"Mr. Yangchu, you can't wronged me! I don't buy this kind of wine myself, this is all given to Manager Sun by those businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this time you came, I specially asked for it from him, you didn't see his distressed look. Song Zhewu explained, and did not forget to look at the reed shed opposite, where Sun Jiahui was accompanying those reporters.

Wang Xu also helped Song Zhewu round the field and said: "Mr. Yangchu, you really wronged Wen Ge, when Wen Ge was in Germany, he was very good at drinking, and he was told by Brother Xiao about this." But since the establishment of the security brigade, when there is no entertainment, Wen Ge does not drink at all. ”

Zhang Yafei, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help it for a long time, he was a person who loved to talk and laugh, because because of the presence of Shang Zhen, Zhang Zhizhong, and Lin Wei, Zhang Yafei had been silently knocking on the dried fruits. As soon as he saw a topic, he immediately took it over and said: "Wen Ge used to be able to drink, he was simply addicted to alcohol. When we were going to school in Baoding, he was drunk and unconscious again, and we invited an old Chinese medicine doctor in his 60s and poured him a bowl of decoction before he came to his senses. The old Chinese medicine doctor advised Wen Ge: 'It's not impossible to drink alcohol, but you must drink less, drinking hot wine hurts the liver; Cold wine hurts the lungs. Guess what Wengo said, he said, 'Old man, it hurts not to drink!' The old Chinese medicine doctor was a little surprised, he really hadn't heard of it if he didn't drink and hurt people, so he hurriedly asked Wen Ge, "Young man, which medical canon does not drink and hurt people, the old man is lonely and unheard, please give me advice." Wengo said: "It is not from the medical scriptures, but from his own realization---- he is sad not to drink." ’”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, and Shang Zhen even sprayed a sip of tea on his body. Song Zhewu's great deeds were imitated by Zhang Yafei's vivid tone, which made everyone lean forward and back together, and even Meng Chu, an old master who had always been unsmiling, couldn't help laughing.

There is also the biggest motivation of the navy at the time of the collection! Thank you very much!
