On March 13, the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), it was said that in the meeting room of the Provincial Political Axe Building in Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province. Zhang Zizhong, chairman of Chahar Province and commander of the 38th Division, looked at the young man in his twenties wearing a dark brown suit and a white face in front of him. and the iron bull and horse army standing like javelins behind him, there was a doubt in his heart. In these years, businessmen all went to Beiping and Shanghai. There are still people who come to Chahar to do business in this poor rural area?

After taking a sip of tea slowly, Zhang Zizhong opened his mouth and asked: "Mr. Su can come to the province to invest and set up a factory, we welcome the political axe, I don't know what business Mr. is going to do?" ”

Su Tong was also looking at this famous anti-Japanese general, Zhang Zizhong was of medium stature, with a Chinese face, and his eyes were bright. The waist bar is straight, and it is a standard military sitting posture!

Su Tong still admires General Zhang Zizhong, one of the top ten famous generals of the National Congress Party in later generations, and there are many generals who can fight in the Congress Party, who may fight, and who are honest and honest, and who can personally go to the front line with guns until they die in battle. This is the one in front of me.

Looking at his idol in later life, Su Tong calmed down. "General Zhang, we plan to invest in a canning factory and a garment factory in Duolun this time, because it is relatively close to Rehe, we can buy wool and beef and mutton nearby to reduce costs."

"Oh? That's a good thing. Zhang Zizhong nodded, and then frowned. However, Duolun is too close to the fallen area of Rehe, and with the rampant horse bandits, safety cannot be guaranteed. ”

"Yes, so I would like to ask General Zhang to give a local militia number, so that it can escort the local security and the people's peace and contentment!" Su Tong hurriedly said the biggest intention of today.

"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Zizhong's eyes, and Su Tong only felt that the hairs on his whole body stood up, and he looked at Zhang Zizhong and refused to show weakness.

Zhang Zizhong groaned for a while, and finally nodded. "Well, since Brother Su Tong wants to do something in Chahar, how can I, Zhang Zizhong, not support it? I'll give you the number of the Duolun militia group, and as for the equipment, you can raise it yourself. ”

Su Tong was overjoyed and hurriedly climbed up the pole. "Thank you Brother Zhang for your generosity, and my little brother is grateful."

Su Tong knows very well that without his own armed forces in this troubled world, let alone doing business, even his personal safety cannot be guaranteed. But now there is a war in the south of China, and the army of the Congress Party is busy encircling and suppressing the Social Workers. There was no time to worry about it, and he said that he launched the September 18 Incident, occupied the three eastern provinces, and then encroached on Rehe, and now he is pressing towards Chahar and Beiping. Since I have come to this troubled era, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, I have to do something for this troubled country. Therefore, he came to Zhangjiakou with two biochemical people, Tie Niu and Ma Jun, and asked General Zhang Zizhong for support in the name of investing in building a factory, because Duolun had something that Su Tong urgently needed, oil.

He learned from the information of later generations that there was a medium-sized oil field in Duolun, which Su Tong had to grasp. Most of the minerals on the moon are there, but there is no oil. China is an oil-poor country, and the few undiscovered oil fields are either occupied by the State Party or in the center of the Congress Party's rule. With his current strength, if he goes to mine, the ending will definitely be miserable.

Su Tong stretched out his hand to the iron bull behind him and took out a vermilion wooden box. smiled and said: "The sword is given to the martyrs, and the pink is given to the beauties, this is a little bit of the younger brother's heart, given to Brother Zhang and the brothers of the 38th Division, talk about the heart." ”

Zhang Zizhong opened it and saw that there were two Colt M1911 pistols in the box, and a gift list with 100,000 yuan written on it.

The gun is produced by the moon base itself, and the ocean is also cast by itself, and the quality is definitely a bargain.

Zhang Zizhong couldn't put it down, picked up two handfuls of m1911, played with them for a while, and then put them back. looked at the gift list again, and said with emotion: "Brother Su, you have done us a great favor in the 38th Division, and the three months' salary has finally been settled." You don't know, my hair is graying these days because of this."

"The 29th Army is famous, and when the Great Wall resisted the Xifeng Pass, the broadsword team killed the little devils. It has greatly boosted the morale of our Chinese people, and the people of the country are all admired for it. ”

"Alas, but in the end I lost. He was also forced to sign the "Tanggu Agreement" that humiliated the country, which is a shame for our generation of soldiers! ”

Zhang Zizhong said excitedly, his eyes were about to breathe fire.

"The general is angry, the Great Wall War of Resistance is not a defeat, but the national strength and weapons are not as good as others. said that his ambition is known to passers-by, and his heart is clearly revealed. My brother thinks that there will be a big war between my Huaxia and Yueben, and this big war will be related to the survival of the country and the nation, and I hope that the general will prepare as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Zizhong sighed. "I didn't expect my brother to have such a knowledge, but it is a pity that the Wuhan political axe and the gang of politicians are still drunk and dreaming of death, thinking that after signing the "Tanggu Agreement, the world will be peaceful, which is ridiculous." ”

Su Tong thought for a while, and then said: "The younger brother's family has a little little money, and he also has some friendship with Shanghai Ocean Xing, and a batch of arms will be shipped from Shanghai in a few days." This batch of supplies included 1,000 Mauser rifles, 30 Maxim machine guns, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. The younger brother is willing to hand it over to General Zhang for the purpose of the Anti-Japanese War."

Zhang Zizhong was overjoyed: "Oh, if that's the case, my brother is the great benefactor of my 29th Army." Now my brothers in the 29th Army don't have to fight with the little devils. ”

Su Tong didn't want to give Zhang Zizhong more arms, but he knew that Pifu was not guilty and was guilty. These are already the limits, and if there are more, it will arouse suspicion and even prying eyes.

Su Tong thought of the officers and men of the 29th Army who were holding the old sleeve and made in Hanyang, and only had a few bullets per person, and had to pick up the big knife after the bullets ran out, and braved the rain of bullets and bullets to charge the position of the 29th Army, his eyes were red, and he said: "We are both sons and daughters of China, and some materials, why worry about it?"

"Well said" Zhang Zizhong was in a good mood after solving the urgent need, and said to Su Tong: "If Brother Su Tong doesn't dislike it, Zhang is willing to marry you as a brother with a different surname, how about it?" ”

"Ahh How did this make Su Tong shocked, he never dreamed that Zhang Zizhong would propose to worship him.

"What? Look down on the old brother? Zhang Zizhong frowned.

"No" Su Tong hurriedly shook his head and said: "General Zhang is the commander of the first division and the chairman of the provincial political axe, and the younger brother is just a businessman, how can he afford to climb high?" ”

Zhang Zizhong said: "I, Zhang, make friends, only look at the character, not the background. You are a businessman with this insight, and you have this heart of worrying about the country and the people, so you should be my brother Zhang Zizhong. ”

No matter what, Su Tong gritted his teeth, bowed to Zhang Zizhong, and called "big brother"

"Oh, yes, yes." Zhang Zizhong was overjoyed and called out his wife Li Minhui and set up a family banquet in the living room. Zhang Zizhong is 44 years old and has two sons and a daughter, both of whom are in his hometown in Shandong at this time. Li Minhui is a typical traditional Chinese woman, with the unique advantages of gentleness and virtue of Chinese women. During the banquet, he frequently persuaded to drink, and after three rounds of drinking, Li Minhui smiled and asked Su Tong: "How old is the second uncle?" Have you started a family? Who else is in the family? ”

"There is a sister-in-law of Lao to inquire, the younger brother's ancestral home is Guangxi, he was born in the first year of the Republic of China (1911) (no way, the sequelae after being transformed by Amy, he has become younger) is twenty-four this year, as for the family, his parents are gone, and he has no brothers and sisters, he is the kind of person who feeds the whole family without hunger." "Hehe" Seeing that Su Tong said something interesting, Li Minhui laughed. "The second brother is really good at talking, but he still has to pay attention to the major events in life."

After chatting for a while, Li Minhui left her seat and let the two men talk about business. Su Tong couldn't help but sigh mentally, she was still a virtuous woman during the Republic of China!

Seeing his wife walk out, Zhang Zizhong asked with a straight face: "Jianming (Su Tong gave himself a word, everyone used to have words), tell the truth to the eldest brother, are you really here to do business in Chahar this time?" ”

Su Tong also restrained his smile and said, "Brother Xinchen, I really don't hide it. The younger brother is one of the things to do business before this time, and the most important thing is to pull up a team and do it with the little devils. ”

"That's why you want a piece of your own territory?"

"Yes," Su Tong replied

"Then why don't you participate in [***]?"

"Big brother, you must know the reason better than me."

Zhang Zizhong sighed and said no more.

During the banquet, Su Tong borrowed a team of people from Zhang Zizhong, and Zhang Zizhong also happily agreed. Not only that, but he was also assigned his most elite (pistol company) guard company.

In the end, Su Tong was drunk and guilty, and he didn't know who carried him into the room, so he fell asleep.

The next day, Su Tong got up early in the morning and came to the door of the provincial political axe with Tie Niu and Ma Jun. I saw Zhang Zizhong standing at the front of the convoy, and next to him stood a young man in his twenties, full of heroic face, wearing a captain's uniform.

Seeing Su Tong coming over, Zhang Zizhong said with a solemn expression: "Jianming, this is going to Duolun, the eldest brother has nothing to advise, I just hope you remember what you said, don't lose the face of our Chinese people." ”

Su Tong thought of the later life, took the guards to fight the little devil in person, and finally died heroically [***] Lieutenant General, his eyes were red, and a thousand words came to his throat but he couldn't say a word. In the end, I had to give a military salute and get into the car. I saw that the young captain jumped into the car with neat movements and yelled: "Go!" ”
