Since he began to plan the transfer, Tang Zhidao has been quite worried. Originally, it was safest to go directly to Xiao Xu to explain this matter, even if it didn't work, it could attract his attention and improve the current dilemma of having nothing to do. However, Xiao Xu didn't know whether he was really busy or fake busy for a while, he was stunned and showed his face in the ministry for many days, and the meaning of asking to see was also handed over through Gong Weizhuang, but Xiao Xu never gave a response, which made Member Tang lose his direction, especially when he learned that Xiao Xu had assumed the post of secretary general of the State Council, and the new army vice minister Fu Liangzuo had taken office. Once Xiao Xu leaves the War Department, I am afraid that Commissioner Tang will really not have a bright future in a short period of time, and those bosses who used to regard him as a thorn in the flesh will not be able to give him a good life.

In desperation, CPPCC National Committee member Tang had no choice but to use all the connections at his disposal to run for his own future, and it happened that a fellow Shandong villager happened to be a first-class member of the official section of the Military Balance Department. Without the strong support of the big guys, it is impossible to be a recommended officer above the regimental level, so at the beginning, Tang Zhidao set his sights on the battalion-level commanders of the newly established three divisions. It's a pity that I soon got reliable information from my fellow countrymen that it was very difficult for these three divisions to intervene. If you think about it, it is also: the officers of the model regiment who have run a period and a half of rotation training themselves have more than two divisions, not to mention the 15,000 men in the 30 battalions of the Sixth Route, and the reorganization into one division is only about 11,000 people when it is fully completed, and there is no room for outsiders to intervene in it. In addition to the three new editors, the four mixed brigades in this adjustment are also good choices, but the heads and brains inside and outside the department are stretching out their hands longer than the other, and they will associate their cronies with each other.

"It's time for the appointment to come down!" Tang Zhidao muttered to himself as he walked through the green courtyard to the west annex building. The news revealed by the Shandong fellow a few days ago has been very clear, he estimates that he will have to temporarily form a regiment as a battalion commander, and the list has been sent to Deputy Commander Xiao Xu, as long as he nods, he can take office. The so-called temporary organization is a temporary, temporary formation, since it is a temporary formation, of course, it may be disbanded and merged at any time, so the number of this kind of ministry is generally given to miscellaneous troops who are not descendants.

"Brother Zhao!" As soon as he climbed up the stairs, Tang Zhidao saw that Zhao Zhankui was hurrying down, and hurriedly waited to go up.

"Ruoshui, I was about to look for you!" Seeing Tang Zhidao, Zhao Zhankui was very enthusiastic, far beyond his previous performance.

"Is Brother Zhao officially appointed?" Tang Zhidao was a little nervous, and he didn't know if the activities in the past ten days had been effective.

"Yes!" Zhao Zhankui smiled and said, "You are going to the second mixed group!" ”

"Second Mixed Group?" Tang Zhidao recited silently twice, and couldn't help but say happily: "Thank you Brother Zhao for this!" "The second mixed regiment is always stronger than those precarious temporary regiments, and if you meet a more powerful regiment leader, you may be able to expand in three or two years, and you will be able to rise with the tide when the time comes.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! I was a small clerk who was soft-spoken, and it really didn't help much. Zhao Zhankui waved his hand and said modestly: "If the water has a bright future in the future, don't forget to pull us fellow villagers when it is developed." ”

"Brother Zhao is really joking, I am at most a small major battalion commander, how can I compare with Brother Zhao's dignified infantry colonel!" Tang Zhidao said half-truthfully, Zhao Zhankui is a lieutenant colonel plus the rank of school.

"Haha, who said that my brother just went to be the battalion commander?" Zhao Zhankui laughed and said, "You have been appointed as the acting commander of the Second Regiment of the Army Mixed Regiment and the commander of the first battalion this time, and your military rank has also been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry!" ”

"This, how is this possible?" Tang Zhidao was suddenly blinded by this sudden good news, and was silent for a while before muttering: "Brother Zhao, aren't you making fun of me!" ”…,

"This is still false, the official appointment letter should come down tomorrow!" Zhao Zhankui looked around at no one and said softly: "It is said that your position was personally reappointed by Vice Minister Xiao Xu!" ”

"Vice Chief Xu!" Tang Zhidao was dizzy again, and he had always avoided having too much to do with Xiao Xu, but he tried to use Xiao Xu's prestige to achieve a certain goal, so he was entangled together, resulting in difficulties, but what he didn't expect was that in the end, Xiao Xu pulled himself at a critical time, which can really be said to be unpredictable.

"Brother Ruoshui, I still think you're a bit of a pity!" Zhao Zhankui said with regret: "With Xu Cichang's appreciation of you, the future is unlimited, or another little Xu Cichang was born, why do you have to go down and deal with a stick Qiu Ba!" ”

"Everyone has their own aspirations!" Tang Zhidao had calmed down at this moment, so he said lightly: "The ministry is not too suitable for me!" ”

"Occupy the top, occupy the top!" Just as the two were chatting, a middle-aged officer with lace eyes and a slight bow walked over.

"Section Chief!" Zhao Zhankui immediately greeted him with a smile: "I was about to send the materials to you!" ”

"Not busy, not busy!" Section Chief Liu Guanguan turned to Tang Zhidao and said with a smile: "Presumably this is the famous Tang Regiment Chief!" "Liu Guanguan has been in the officialdom of the Beijing Division for many years, and the door is naturally very clear, even if this little guy in front of him is valued by Xiao Xu a few days ago, he will not be so polite, after all, this little guy has caused public anger. It's different now, this little guy is released, although he is only an acting head of the regiment, but he is also a small prince on the road, and he doesn't have much to do with the people in the ministry, so he should be this polite.

"Hello Section Chief Liu, thanks to your support this time!" In the previous stage, in order to run for office, several bigwigs of the Military Balance Division knew something, but they didn't have the opportunity to meet at all, but they didn't expect to meet Liu Guanguan, the head of the Renguan Section, at the staircase.

"Don't dare to carry it!" Liu Guanguan said with a smile on his face: "I'm afraid you will have to carry us in the future, Zhan Kui, you are a fellow countryman, how close and close you will be!" I'm still a little bit of a beforehand. ”

"Ruoshui, I have to leave too!" Zhao Zhankui saw Section Chief Liu glaring at him, obviously looking for him.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Zhankui, Tang Zhidao returned to his small office again, and as soon as he walked downstairs, he saw Hu Bingtao wandering downstairs from a distance.

"Brother Hu, how can you have time to wander around here!" Tang Zhidao walked quietly and suddenly patted Hu Bingtao on the shoulder and said.

"I'm not waiting for you here, kid, I don't know where to run early in the morning." Hu Bingtao has obviously been waiting for a long time.

"I went to the Military Balance Division to understand the situation!" Tang Zhidao said proudly, his excitement overflowing.

"Let's go in and talk!" Hu Bingtao didn't ask about the results, but just followed Tang Zhidao into the office.

"Brother Hu must have something good coming to me early in the morning!" Tang Zhidao said with a smile while giving Hu Bingtao a cup of tea, it is estimated that Hu Bingtao has also gotten the news that he has become the acting head of the group.

"Coming to you naturally has a good thing!" Hu Bingtao showed a rare evil smile and said: "And it's a great thing." ”

"yes, let's hear about it." Tang Zhidao pretended to be surprised and said, "I'm waiting for pie to fall from the sky every day!" ”

"Ruoshui is twenty-four this year, and he is not a small boss." Hu Bingtao said slowly: "A personal lifelong career should be considered. ”

"A personal life's event?" Tang Zhidao said helplessly: "It's not that you don't know my situation, what do you want, what to talk about life's events." ”

"Use this to prevaricate me again, didn't I have nothing when I married your sister-in-law, and now I'm doing well!" Hu Bingtao said anxiously: "I know that the second elder of your family left early, and no one gave you Zhang Luo." I, Hu Bingtao, think I'm your brother, and you have to listen to me this time. ”…,

"You and your sister-in-law are childhood sweethearts, how can I compare." Tang Zhidao said playfully: "Even if I want to get married, you have to have someone willing to marry me!" ”

"That's what you said!" Hu Bingtao smiled slyly and said: "You have already seen people, and I am not satisfied with it!" ”

"Ahh How I don't remember, when things happened! Tang Zhidao flatly denied it: "Brother Hu, you came to trick me again." ”

"The one you saw when you went to my house for dinner last weekend!" Hu Bingtao pointed to Tang Zhidao's nose and said, "You kid didn't peek at other girls at that time!" ”

"Oh!" Tang Zhidao suddenly realized: "That girl is not my sister-in-law's cousin, so I went to your house to eat twice, how did I go on a blind date." A handsome girl in a blue dress with short hair that matched her ears came to mind.

"It's your sister-in-law's cousin, and it's not fake a blind date, are you willing to give a happy word." Hu Bingtao said bluntly, he was also forced by his wife Liu Xinran to have no choice. This distant cousin's parents died early, and when she was a child, she was fostered in the Liu family all the year round, and she had an excellent relationship with this sister who was seven or eight years older than herself.

"The girl is very beautiful and temperamental!" Tang Zhidao paused and shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it......'s a pity" If Tang Zhidao is not a traverser and doesn't know the tragedies that will happen in the next few decades, then it is indeed very pleasant to mix up qualifications in the ministry and soak in a female student.

"Pity? What a pity? She is a student of Jingshi Girls' Middle School with outstanding appearance, and she is from a scholarly family in Jiangnan, and how many sons and young masters of high-ranking officials and noble families are vying to marry her. Hu Bingtao said angrily: "I am willing to associate with your kid, I don't know which life you have cultivated." ”

"This proves that we are attractive!" Tang Zhidao said with a smile: "But we can't delay the little girl's good youth, I am about to serve in the army, I don't know that I will die on the battlefield that day." ”

"Brother Tang, Brother Tang!" Without waiting for Hu Bingtao to ask, Zeng Lu broke in again, touched the teacup on the table and drank it "gurgling".

"Brother Hu is also there?" After wiping the sweat on his face, Zeng Lu said breathlessly: "Brother Tang, your appointment has come down, and you will be the acting head of the second mixed group." ”

"Wrong, it's the acting regiment commander and battalion commander." Tang Zhidao corrected with a smile, Zeng Lu came at the right time.

"Brother Tang, you know everything." Zeng Lu said in surprise: "It seems that the hall has just brought back the appointment certificate from the presidential palace. "Theoretically, high-ranking officials (military attaché rank and above, civil officials, provincial officials, and department chiefs and above) can only be appointed and dismissed after being stamped with the seal of the Presidential Office.

"Acting Head? Not bad! A little different from Tang Zeng's joy, Hu Bingtao was a little more lonely and just asked lightly: "Which unit is it?" ”

"The Second Mixed Regiment of the Army!" Zeng Lu said excitedly: "Compared with the average regiment commander, there are a lot more troops at hand. ”

"Second Mixed Group?" Hu Bingtao couldn't help frowning, the army has only two mixed regiments, the first mixed regiment is a large regiment in Shaanxi, the whole regiment is three or four thousand people, the regiment commander is the former Shaanxi general Lu Jianzhang's son Major General Lu Chengwu, but a month ago the regiment was defeated by Hu Jingyi, a fierce general under Chen Shufan, with the strength of a battalion, and even the regiment commander was captured alive.

"Brother Hu, what's the problem?" Seeing Hu Bingtao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Tang Zhidao couldn't help but ask.

"A hot potato." Hu Bingtao shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation, I only know that the full strength rate of the department is less than eighty percent, and the number of officers is even less than half. ”

"Is it that serious?" Zeng Lu said with a questioning face: "Isn't the ministry a descendant unit created for President Yuan's cronies?" ”

"This time and that time!" Hu Bingtao sighed and said: "However, the quality of the soldiers in the department is quite good, and most of them come from Zhili and Shandong provinces. ”

"There are always more solutions than problems!" Tang Zhidao pondered for a moment and said firmly.
