Like Zhang Guotao, after receiving the telegram from the central government, Xu Xiangqian and Chen Haiquan also did not sleep all night. Although the two were nominally commander-in-chief and political commissars of the Fourth Front Army, they actually did not have much command power. Unlike other fraternal troops, the Fourth Front Army is more like paternalistic management, and everything has to be done by Zhang Guotao.

When he went south, Chen Haiquan raised objections, but his words could not dissuade Zhang Guotao at all.

After the defeat of Baizhangguan, he thought about whether to return north to rendezvous with the Central Committee, but as the nominal supreme political commissar, it was impossible for him not to take responsibility.

Power is like a sea and a lot, once it is contaminated, it is difficult to quit, so after being in a high position, no one wants to come down, Chen Haiquan admits that he has a little selfishness, but he also believes that he has that ability.

At this moment when the family and country are broken, internal and external troubles, there must be a responsible person to guide everyone, Chen Haiquan believes that he is the responsible person, so no matter what he does, he is very active, no matter how big the difficulty is.

After returning north to rendezvous in the center, he knew that he would definitely leave his current position, or at least have to relearn for a while. At such a critical juncture, he really couldn't leave his current position, and he thought that only he was the most suitable for this position.

Justice is mixed with selfishness, he is a little hesitant on the issue of returning north, and Zhang Guotao is not easy to deal with, he knows that Zhang Guotao is definitely unwilling to return north.

After receiving the telegram from the central authorities, although Chen Haiquan and Xu Xiangqian had some doubts, they still had a lot of hopes, and now the situation of the four front armies is not a better way than to return to the north.

It's just that the central government's wording severely criticized Zhang Guotao, and both of them were a little unsure of what the central government wanted to do, and although they killed many dissenting people during the purge, they did not hurt any party members, and at most they stood aside and were hung out for several years like Li Shengshi.

How did the central government know their whereabouts, and why did they send such an important central leader as Wu Hao to go south in person, one question after another has been swirling in the hearts of the two.

It wasn't until the next morning that the central telegram arrived again, informing the headquarters of the Fourth Front Army that Wu Hao would arrive immediately and let them prepare to meet them.

Although I don't know how Wu Hao came over, since he said that he would arrive soon, the least greeting is still necessary. The two quickly assigned tasks, Xu Xiangqian prepared to meet the matter, and Chen Haiquan went to inform Zhang Guotao.

Although Zhang Guotao said last night that he would not greet him, it was more of an angry talk, and he was severely criticized by the central government so much, it would be strange not to be angry. It's just that being angry is angry, and as a member of Datong Party, the organizational discipline that should be observed must still be observed.

Comrade Wu Hao, as the commissioner of the Central Committee, must go out to greet him in terms of etiquette no matter what.

Chen Haiquan had just walked to Zhang Guotao's door when he heard the sound of the propeller of an airplane in the sky, and at first he thought it was a plane of the People's Party, so he immediately found a cover, and when he looked up, the paint on the plane turned out to be the party flag of the Datong Party and the flag of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

Is it Wu Hao?

After this question flashed in his heart, Chen Haiquan was even more surprised that it came too quickly, Ganzi is a small place, there is no runway suitable for landing at all, and the central government did not let them prepare a runway or anything, so he, Zhang Guotao, and Xu Xiangqian were very suspicious about the telegram.

The plane does not fly high, it looks like a behemoth, and it is not a common biplane in China, but a monoplane that has just appeared, and the shape is also different.

Seeing the paint on the plane, although he had been prepared, Chen Haiquan was still surprised, could it be that the central government had really received assistance from the Soviet big brother in the northwest.

"Comrades of the Fourth Front Army, I am the deputy commander of the ** Xi Wuhao, after the Central Committee knew that the comrades failed to go south, they specially sent me to comfort everyone, and by the way, invited everyone to return north to meet the Party Central Committee."

When Chen Haiquan was still in shock, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from the plane, although there were some changes after amplification, Chen Haiquan could still hear that it was indeed Wu Hao's voice.

Is there really an airplane in the center?

Did Wu Hao really go south?

Two questions skipped in his heart, and the door of Zhang Guotao's room, which was originally closed, was suddenly knocked open, and a person stumbled out, it was Zhang Guotao who was in a trance all night.

After hearing the deafening sound, Zhang Guotao woke up from half sleep, rushed out without wearing clothes, and after seeing Chen Haiquan, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Haiquan, what's going on?" ”

Seeing Zhang Guotao's tired and panicked appearance, Chen Haiquan handed the central telegram in his hand to Zhang Guotao, pointed to the sky, and then said: "The main seat, the central government is calling, Comrade Wuhao has arrived." ”

Zhang Guotao first glanced at the telegram casually, and then looked at the sky, only to see a plane painted with the flag of the Datong Party, numbered 81192, hovering in the air, and was constantly repeating the previous speech.

After being shocked, Zhang Guotao quickly regained his composure, went back to the house to put on his clothes, and said to Chen Haiquan, who was waiting on the side, "Let's go, let's go and meet this central commissioner." ”

By the time they came out of the town, Xu Xiangqian had already led many senior cadres to wait at the entrance of the town, looking up at the plane in mid-air, not knowing how it was going to land.

At this time, on the Osprey helicopter, Li Keji saw that the people who should come out had come out, so he said to Wu Hao in the cabin: "Deputy Chairman, they are all out, are we ready to land?" ”

"Prepare to land."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Li Keji gradually slowed down, no longer circling around Ganzi, but hovered over the entrance of the town, and saw that the generals of the Four Front Army below were dumbfounded, where had they ever seen an airplane hovering in mid-air without moving.

I saw that the strangely shaped plane hovered in mid-air and slowly descended, only to roll up a large snowflake when it approached the ground, and everyone felt the strong wind from afar to blow themselves down, and instinctively lowered the center of gravity of their bodies.

Seeing the vertical landing of the Osprey helicopter, Zhang Guotao and others were shocked, but they also understood why the central government let them greet them, but did not let them prepare a temporary runway.

When the plane turned off, they saw a tall and burly person jump out of the cockpit first, but few people knew him. Then the cabin opened, and the first person to come out was the familiar Wu Hao, but compared to last year, Wu Hao at this time was much more energetic and radiant, which made a group of haggard generals of the Four Fronts feel inferior.

As one of the four beautiful men of the Republic of China, Wu Hao's image will indeed make most people feel inferior, especially for this meeting, he put on the 07-style regular clothes for the first time, and his straight figure perfectly shows all the advantages of the 07-style regular clothes, which makes some of the generals who "worship foreign and flattering" envious.

Behind Wu Hao were thirty-one soldiers in camouflage uniforms, all of whom were equipped with 56 punches as standard, in addition, each of them was also equipped with a 54-type pistol, just a column of equipment, which made the generals of the four front armies envious, and they all speculated that the central government had received assistance from the Soviet big brother in the northwest.

After getting off the plane, Wu Hao didn't care about the surprise of the generals of the Four Fronts, and greeted him with a smile full of spring breeze, and said: "Guotao, Xiangqian, Haiquan, this time I have you to greet you." ”

"As the commissioner of the Central Committee, Deputy Chairman Wu should have come out to greet him." In the face of Wu Hao, Zhang Guotao took the initiative to welcome him as if he had not received criticism from the central government.

Watching Wu Hao and Zhang Guotao smiling and pulling homely, like two friends who haven't seen each other for many years, Li Keji on the side couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he can't learn this level, in addition to the need for acting skills, the skin must be thick enough, otherwise the probability of goofs is very high.

Li Keji was slandered here, Wu Hao over there had already seen the main generals of the Four Front Army one by one, Zhang Guotao saw that most of Wu Hao's side were ordinary soldiers, and only one Li Keji was different, so he asked: "Deputy Lord Xixi, who is this little brother?" ”

Due to historical reasons, Li Keji didn't have much of a good impression of Zhang Guotao, and it was even more disgusting to see him and Wuhao's deputy head Hu Xixu and the snake. Seeing him ask about himself, he instinctively reacted to sarcasm, but was stopped by Wu Hao in time.

"Mr. Li Keji Li, Guotao, don't look at him young, he is a liaison sent to China by overseas organizations, rich in knowledge and proficient in various technologies." Wu Hao kept holding Li Keji's hand as he spoke, which interrupted his instinctive sarcastic words.

"Overseas organizations?" Many of you in the party Harajuku really don't know about overseas organizations, so they asked.

"When the Central Special Branch was established, in addition to the General Affairs Section, the Intelligence Section, and the Security Section, the Overseas Section, which is now an overseas organization, was secretly established in addition to the General Affairs Section, the Intelligence Section, and the Security Section. Its main task is to borrow overseas forces to build and train the supply of various materials needed by the central government, but due to the long time cycle, the first batch of personnel has also suffered great damage, and the central government once thought that the overseas department had been destroyed, so he was sealed in the dust. Wu Hao explained simply, this is also the identity prepared for Li Keji at the beginning.

"Dusty? So what is it now? As one of the members of the Central Committee, Zhang Guotao was very strange how he didn't know about these things, presumably it was the dark line left by Wu Hao, and the Central Special Branch was established by him personally, and only he knew what he knew best.

"Since losing contact with the Overseas Section, the central government has always thought that they have been wiped out, so they have sealed all the information in the dust. After the central government arrived in the northwest this time, they did not expect to get in touch with the disappeared overseas section, and it turned out that they did not completely annihilate the army, but turned into an even harder underground struggle. After years of operation, the Overseas Section was expanded into an overseas organization, and finally saw results, but when it wanted to contact the central government, the central government had already begun the long march and lost all contact with the outside world. ”
