Chapter 145: The Situation
Slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught Su Tong's eyes was Xia Yuxin's exquisite and amazing facial features, the thin snort gently hit Chief Su's face, the beautiful big eyes were still closed, and the long eyelashes were still trembling slightly from time to time. Look behind them, the little nurse and Yulia are leaning on each other and sleeping soundly.
The arm was gently raised, and when she was about to pull her hand out from under Director Xia's little head, the beautiful woman who was still asleep seemed to feel something, and the jade arm around Chief Su's neck was wrapped tighter. Half-asleep, she still muttered in her mouth, "Sleep with others again." After saying that, he twisted his delicate body a few times to make himself sleep more comfortably, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Su Tong smiled bitterly, it seems that he won't be able to go to the office this morning, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't go, it's rare to steal a lazy. Anyway, Xi Hanqian is watching the matter of the political axe, and Jiang Baili is watching the affairs of the troops, so let them deal with something, and Chief Su, who has found an excuse for being lazy, hugged the beautiful woman in his arms and fell asleep in a daze after a while.
Someone fell asleep again with his daughter-in-law in his arms, but this morning's telegram sent from the telegraph office in Zhangjiakou to all parts of the country alarmed many bigwigs.
Headquarters of the 38th Division of the Tianjin National Revolutionary Army
Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 38th Division, who had been separated from Su Tong for nearly two years, was discussing with Huang Weigang, commander of the 112th Brigade, and Tong Zeguang, commander of the 113th Brigade, about the recent provocation of the officers and men of the 38th Division by the North China Garrison.
Zhang Zizhong took the telegram and read it, and the always serious Chinese character showed a rare smile on his face, and Huang Weigang and Tong Zeguang on the side glanced at each other and couldn't help but be curious. They are all old men who have followed Zhang Zizhong for many years, and it is difficult for this old chief who knows them to show such a happy smile.
Tong Zeguang asked tentatively: "Master, what did the message say, why were you so happy when you saw the message?" ”
Zhang Zizhong smiled and handed the telegram to Huang Weigang beside him, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my little brother is getting married, and he wants to invite my eldest brother to drink wedding wine!" ”
"Say goodbye to the little brother? Who is it? With such a face, please go and drink the wedding wine? Tong Zeguang couldn't reflect for a while, and asked with some hesitation.
"You, the reflection is really slow enough, there can be a few little brothers in the master's seat, naturally the one who bowed two years ago!" Huang Weigang, who had just finished reading the message, pouted at Tong Zeguang and said disdainfully.
"What! Is that the king of the Northwest? Su Tong Su Jianming? Tong Zeguang exclaimed in surprise: "He is going to get married too?" ”
Zhang Zizhong glared at Tong Zeguang with some annoyance, and said: "Zeguang, what are you talking about, why can't my little brother get married, and he should be a bachelor for the rest of his life?" ”
Huang Weigang also gloated beside him and said: "That is, Lao Tong, you are not kind, why can't people marry a daughter-in-law, what kind of logic are you." ”
"No, I'm not surprised!" Tong Zeguangzi anxiously explained, "If this king of the northwest really gets married, the scene must be very lively." ”
'King of the Northwest' is the recent name of Su Tong, the leader of the largest warlord in the country with 700,000 troops in the northwest, but there is no contempt in it, this is just people's honorific title for this iron-blooded general who dares to shout and fight with Soviet Russia and clamoring to recover the lost territory.
"The King of the Northwest? Hehe, this little brother of mine is amazing. Zhang Zizhong muttered.
"Master, are you going to attend Chief Su's wedding?" Tong Zeguang asked tentatively.
"Why don't you go, of course you have to go!" Zhang Zizhong glared at him, "My little brother has no relatives and no support, and it seems that he is happy, if I don't go, I will not be poked and scolded by others for the rest of my life!" ”
"Well, it's time to go, this Commander Su treats our 38th Division very well, if it weren't for the batch of guns and ammunition he gave us two years ago, our 38th Division wouldn't have the confidence to argue with the old devil Umezu Mijiro (Commander of the North China Garrison Army)." Huang Weigang also said appreciatively.
Last time, when Zhang Zizhong was ordered to evacuate Chahar two years ago, Su Tongke gave Zhang Zizhong a large number of weapons and ammunition, including 6,000 Mauser 98K rifles, 100 Makqin heavy machine guns, 300 Czech light machine guns, 3 million rounds of ammunition, 60 60 mortars, 30 80 mortars, 24 75-caliber mountain guns, and 1,000 shells each.
It was precisely because of this batch of weapons and ammunition that the 38th Division was able to quickly gain a firm foothold in Tianjin, and it also replenished the number of troops that had been dissatisfied with the number of troops in previous years due to lack of guns and ammunition, and the number of troops was rapidly expanded from more than 8,000 to more than 12,000.
Just as Zhang Zizhong and his subordinates were discussing what means of transportation to get to Chahar would be faster and more convenient, Chairman Chiang, the leader of the National Congress Party in Nanjing, also received an invitation from the chief of the Soviet Union to get married.
"Niang Xipi, this Su Tong is really not worry-free." Chairman Jiang looked out the window with his eyes, his hand lightly tapped on the tabletop, and he was still muttering to himself, and in front of him was a telegram from Chahar that had just been sent from the confidential room.
A "fluttering" laughter came from the side, and Madame Jiang, who was sitting next to the chairman, gave her husband a strange look and said, "Darling, look at what you said, what? Su Tong's marriage is not to let people worry and cause trouble. Should co-authors be monks? ”
The chairman came to his senses and said with a smiling face: "Madam, I don't mean that, I mean whether we want to go to Su Tong's wedding or not, and what gifts should we give if we go!" ”
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Jiang's woman's surname was hooked by the chairman, "Yes, there will definitely be a lot of people going to the wedding at that time, and there are celebrities from all walks of life in China, what gifts should we give, and what clothes should I wear to attend this occasion?" As she spoke, Mrs. Jiang's topic deviated from her own clothes.
Chairman Jiang shook his head with a wry smile, and remembered what was on his mind again, this Su Tong, his current strength is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not impossible to enter Nanjing according to his current strength. However, according to the news from all sides, he just blindly buried his head in low-key development, and he would rather go to the Soviet Russians to fight to the death than send a single soldier to the Central Plains. Well, it's time to go to Chahar, and I'm going to see for myself what has become of this old remote and barren place.
The official residence of the governor of Guilin, Guangxi
Li Zhongren took the telegram invitation and asked Bai Chongxi beside him with a smile, "Jiansheng, which of us said to go to Chahar to attend the wedding of our little fellow this time?" ”
"I'll go, anyway, I have long wanted to see the true face of Chahar's Lushan with my own eyes, and see why our little fellow dares to argue with Soviet Russia, and drove Stalin's 300,000 troops to Mongolia to build railways." Bai Chongxi said with a smile.
"Jiansheng, you're not kind, I want to go to this Chahar too." Li Zongren smiled.
"Since you want to go, then let's go together!" Bai Chongxi said nonchalantly, "Didn't he say it in the telegram, let's tell him the date, he will send a plane to pick us up, and there are fighter planes to escort us." This salary is not low, it can catch up with the treatment of the chairman. At the end, Bai Chongxi's eyes had a hint of envy.
"Hehe, Jiansheng, why did I smell a sour smell, this is not like you who are generous in peace."
Bai Chongxi ignored Li Zongren's ridicule, smiled bitterly, and said with some melancholy: "I am indeed envious of him, look at others, what others do is what a soldier should do." Commanding an army of 300,000 to conquer Siberia and regain lost territory, if this wolf Juxu really let him do it, then his name Su Tong in the future history books is enough to be compared with characters like Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, and Chen Tang. ”
"Yes, seal the wolf Juxu! This is the highest compliment for being a soldier! Li Zongren looked a little dazed for a while, muttered, and then suddenly laughed again: "I suddenly envy Bai Ying now for talking about this kid, thinking that when he set off from our Guangxi, there was only a group of thousands of people, and he was holding an old sleeve and Hanyang in his hand, but now?" They are the only two armored divisions in the country, and it is said that such troops are rare in the world, and only Germany and Soviet Russia have so many experimental troops. Besides, I heard that Bai Ying talked about this kid who fought very bravely with Lao Maozi last time, but he played the prestige of our Bagui disciples. ”
Chengdu, Sichuan
Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Pan Wenhua and other large and small warlord leaders gathered together rarely, and what about the content of their discussions? It turned out that they were discussing the question of who would be in charge of Sichuan's defense after they went to Chahar, which could be regarded as a precedent for Sichuan.
"Yuxian Gong, what do you say Su Tong's melon baby's wedding is going to have a lot of fun, is it worth such a big fight?" Pan Wenhua asked Liu Xiang with some dissatisfaction.
"What do you know?" Liu Xiang said a little unhappily: "This time, even Chairman Jiang and his wife will go to participate, as well as Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi from Guangxi, Long Yun from Yunnan, Zhou Xicheng from Guizhou and others will go in person at that time, how can we not go?" ”
"yes!" Liu Wenhui touched his head and said with a smile, "This Su Tong married three cousins in one marriage, which is really terrifying." ”
Yang Sen smiled and said to Liu Wenhui: "What about you, don't you also have several aunts?" ”
"Right, right, it seems that he and I are like-minded, hahaha"
For a while, the chaotic situation in the country became unusually calm because of a wedding, which can't help but be amazing.
