Seeing Song Biao, Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov saluted very respectfully.

Song Biao simply returned the salute and shook hands with Neznamov, and whispered: "I came here for private matters this time, and there is no official business, you don't need to tell others." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov smiled: "I know, if it was for official business, I don't think it would be my turn to greet me, right?" ”

Song Biao smiled at him interestingly, and asked casually, "How are you doing, it should be very easy, right?" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov smiled very easily, and said: "Of course, it can't be compared with before, in short, there is nothing to do, what about you, I heard that you are very busy, I heard from friends that Grand Duke Mikhail and His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin are keen to propose that you take the position of governor of the three eastern provinces, so it should be particularly busy recently, my Excellency General?" ”

Song Biao took off his gloves, patted them in his hand, and replied with a flat expression: "Fortunately, anyway, there is something to do every day, I am recently preparing to set up a Far Eastern non-commissioned officer school for our locals in the Northeast, and I urgently need a large number of excellent instructors." If you feel like there's nothing to do here, why don't you go to me, and I'll find a way to transfer you over if you agree. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov smiled: "This is a very good thing, please allow me to think about it for a while before replying to you." ”

Song Biao nodded in agreement.

He still prefers Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov, who did send a lot of dangerous missions at that time, and Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov was wounded many times, but fortunately he was not seriously injured, unlike Major Polvich, who has never been injured, but seeing that Liaoyang was about to be defended, he was killed by a Japanese artillery shell at the last moment.

This is a very sharp officer, if he is lucky, he can completely shine a very bright light in the First World War, and it is a bit of a pearl to do tactical theory research work for the Soviet Union, and he is blind to such a military talent.

Although they are not soldiers of the same country, not the same nation, or even the same race, the feelings accumulated in that fierce war of life and death are always very special, even if two people have to fight for different positions in the future, the comradeship of soldiers will always last forever and will always be worth remembering.

This is something that only the soldiers themselves can experience and understand!

Song Biao and Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov chatted on the platform for more than ten minutes, talking about the recent situation of the two people, Rong Xingqiao took the staff of the Far Eastern Ocean Company to watch from afar, because there were Russian generals and hundreds of soldiers present, he did not dare to move forward.

After talking for a while, Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said: "Let's eat at my side at noon, it's all your old department, thanks to your guidance and care, it is very difficult to win the life after the war, I hope you can go there, even if it's just a Chinese meal." ”

Song Biao saw that the time was early in the morning, so he went to the Russian army camp to wait for lunch, which was really a waste of time, but Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov was right, there were all the old units of the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment, and almost every battalion commander and company commander had gotten along with Song Biao, and Song Biao had even guided and trained them one by one.

He can be said to be the chief instructor of the entire 7th Infantry Regiment in Siberia, and this affection is not easy to come by.

Song Biao could only laugh and said to Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov: "Then go, anyway, I will stay for several days this time, and I am not in a hurry for this morning for the time being." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov laughed happily, and immediately asked several lieutenants to lead the team and led a few Russian-style carriages to pick up Song Biao and his party, while Rong Xingqiao could only follow all the way stupidly.

The camp area of the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment here is located near the Labor Park in the future, and the camp area is very large and the facilities are also very perfect, but Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov directly invited Song Biao to a nearby Russian hotel, and the other regimental commanders have been waiting here for a long time.

Song Biao was younger than these people, but he was the chief instructor and former commander, and he was also a brigadier general of the Russian Army.

At a glance, they are really familiar faces, when he was in Zhujiatun, he personally guided everyone here, after a few months of fierce fighting, the lower-level soldiers and low-level non-commissioned officers sacrificed 2/3, and these captains and lieutenants also broke through with bullets and bullets, and sacrificed half.

Song Biao shook hands with them one by one after returning the salute, and also thanked them for their companionship and joint efforts in the past few months, it was the efforts of these Russians that allowed him to achieve the glory of the Battle of Liaoyang, make him famous in one battle, and become the focus of attention of the whole world, so that he stepped on the corpses of Oyama Rock, Kodama Gentaro, and Nozu Kando to be promoted to a world-class army general.

Song Biao came by car all the way, and he hadn't even eaten breakfast yet, so he happened to have breakfast with everyone at the hotel, and soon talked about the battle of Liaoyang.

Song Biao also recalled the past with everyone with a smile, although he did not have the habit of recalling the glory.

These old units in front of him are all very talented lieutenants, if they can continue to serve him, it would be a good thing, but unfortunately Song Biao can't do this kind of thing, and after talking with everyone for a while, he continued to talk about his intention to establish the Far East Non-commissioned Officer School.

Song Biao invited Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov again: "I actually still hope you will come over, our non-commissioned officer school is not only to engage in the education of non-commissioned officers, to train qualified first-rate army non-commissioned officers for China and Asia, but also to study new weapons and new combat ideas, I think you have a lot of room for development in this area, at least you can come and work for two years, while teaching students, while studying new theories." In other words, it will definitely be good for your long-term development in the Russian army. ”

After saying this, he opened his arms and said with a smile from the other old departments: "I also welcome you to join, I want to recruit six or seven hundred students here, the more instructors, the better, don't talk about other nonsense, first of all, with the support of the Russian army, you still serve as officers of the Russian army, in addition, there are more preferential treatments, which is equivalent to earning two salaries, and having the opportunity to live in China for a few more years, which is a very good thing." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and a young captain named Popnin immediately said: "Okay, I'm willing to go, but I don't know if the General Staff of the Far Eastern Army can let me go?" ”

Song Biao said with a smile: "As long as you want to come, I will personally go to His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and the Minister of War, no matter how reluctant they are, I can also dig you over." ”

Everyone laughed again.

Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov also smiled, but in his heart he sighed that he always felt that the former commander in front of him was too capable, and he might become the new Asian Napoleon, and maybe there would be a war with Russia at that time.

He really didn't want that day, because he felt that the certainty of winning the duel with his former boss in the war was too low, especially considering the wasted energy of the entire Russian Army, I am afraid that he was not sure at all, and he had seen the heroism and hard-working of the Chinese soldiers.

Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov decided to divert the topic, and suddenly asked Song Biao: "General Beo, you said that you came here for private matters this time, I really don't know, what kind of private affairs do you need to come to Darny to handle in person?" ”

Song Biao thought for a while and said, "I have invested in a foreign company here, and I have some business to deal with recently. As you know, my unit is composed of two parts, one part is the Northeast soldiers, the other is the Russian army, and now it is the 15th Army of the Far Eastern Army, and it will be renamed the Northeast New Army after the Russian army withdraws. At that time, I will really become Napoleon, and I will have to find a livelihood for my troops, and I will have to have enough pay and supplies. The current soybean business is very popular in the world, and the Northeast happens to be the best soybean planting base, so I plan to make some arrangements on the side of the foreign bank to do a good job in the soybean business in the Northeast as much as possible. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov racked his brains for a moment and said: "This is interesting, I happen to have a classmate in middle school, he is a graduate of agriculture and animal husbandry at Moscow University, and has been engaged in research in agriculture and botany. ”

Song Biao couldn't help but be happy for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, I just need to find an expert in botany to help me cultivate high-yield bean varieties suitable for the local area in the northeast, and if he is willing to come, I will definitely be able to pay a very good reward." If he is doing research in the field of botany, I can also support him in the study of Asian botany in the whole of the Northeast, and I will pay for all the research funds. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Neznamov replied: "Well, I will write him a letter as soon as possible, and ask him what he means, I think this should be a good job of his dreams, and some time ago he asked me for some information related to the Northeast, and it seems that he wants to go to Harbin to investigate the local botany and agriculture." ”

Song Biao was even happier and felt that this matter was basically done.

He is proficient in the Russian language, which is actually a very special advantage, although there are not many Russian scientists, botanists, and other talents, but there are certainly many more than the original, as long as you can find a way to recruit more, you will definitely be able to effectively improve the economic and people's livelihood development level in the Northeast through the help of these people, including in education, it is still very easy to absorb Russian talents in the Northeast.

If the climate can be formed, after the October Revolution, it will be easier to recruit Russians to work in the Northeast, and hundreds of thousands of people can be recruited at a time.

Everyone here is a good network.

Song Biao quickly realized this and said to everyone: "I have a lot of things to do now, for example, I want to open a coal and iron mine, I want to build a military factory, and I want to run a bank in the future, including the production of gunpowder, geological exploration, opening a Russian school, etc., everyone will see if there are any suitable talents to recommend to me, as long as I am willing to work in the Northeast, I am willing to invite." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone began to rack their brains to think, everyone also tried to find one or two friends, or relatives to engage in some kind of work, breakfast has been eaten for two hours, Song Biao got dozens of lists from everyone, and the specific invitation work can only ask these old departments to help more.
