Zhang Lingpu and Xu Xiangqian returned to the room, and the news spread quickly that General Situ Yong was actually on the ship, which caused a sensation among the young officers.

Who is Situ Yong?

What young man in the army doesn't know Situ Yong, a star general, and his deeds? Don't want to be the second Situ Yong? Many young officers in the army regarded Situ Yong as an idol and took him as an example.

It's easier to get his favor!

In this regard, Situ Nan commented on Situ Yong with a smile and said: "Youth, military exploits, and power are all things that young people are fanatical about, and you have set an example for them." ”

Situ Yong smiled, a little proud, and his voice changed: "In the future, those guys know that you are the initiator and secretly plan this qiē for them, do you say that they are grateful to you or complain about you?" ”

I don't care. ”

Situ Nan said lightly, "Suddenly inspiration came, I have to finish writing a song, and I won't participate in the banquet between you and the young officer." ”

Situ Nan waved his hand, Situ Yong shook his head and left, this clan brother is good at everything, but his temper is a little weird, not lively, sometimes his interest in the so-called art is much higher than that of women, and only a few people can keep up with his thinking.

When Situ Yong walked into the small dining room on the ship, Zhang Lingpu, Xu Xiangqian and other young officers had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Situ Yong coming in in with a general uniform, with several colonel-level officers by his side, they immediately stood up and saluted, holding their breath and concentrating, their waists straightened, and their eyes did not squint, showing the rigorous style of the soldiers.

Zhang Lingpu and Xu Xiangqian were really right, General Situ was really on the boat, and the two guys were lucky with shit. Can you catch this big shot?

Situ Yong returned the salute. Wave your hand. Let them sit down. He was not polite and directly admonished: "We and South China are allies and brothers, and the Revolutionary Army and the Southern Defense Force have always had a mechanism for military exchanges and cooperation. During the Northern Expedition, tens of thousands of Nanyang soldiers returned to China to participate in the war, including me and the officers and soldiers of the former Fifth Division under me.

It can be said that the revolutionary government could not have been achieved without the unsparing support of the South China National Defense Forces, and the situation in South China is now somewhat turbulent, with local separatist forces rebelling with the support of foreign powers. Yan zhòng threatened the survival and development of the South China Chinese, and the South China side asked us to send some troops to help them suppress the rebellion.

This has been answered affirmatively by the Central Military Commission and the General Staff, and this is also a rare opportunity for you to exercise. ”

As soon as Situ Yong's voice fell, the military cadets below began to 'blow up'.

What the?

Rebellion in South China?

Are there great powers behind the rebels?

Sending troops to war at home?

This amount of information is too much, Zhang Lingpu and they didn't expect that they had just graduated from school and were about to set foot on the battlefield as soon as they left the school gate. The news came suddenly and surprisingly.

Their faces were flushed, and their breathing was slightly short, but they still maintained strict order and did not make a loud noise. The faces of these hot-blooded young men were surprised, excited, excited, and confused. Except for no fear.

Situ Yong secretly paid attention to the actions of the rookies below and nodded secretly. He paid special attention to the expressions of Zhang Lingpu and Xu Xiangqian, who were sitting at the front. Zhang Lingpu tried his best to keep a straight face, but his tenacious gaze and sword eyebrows frowned slightly, indicating the excitement in his heart, and he seemed to be a little eager to go to the battlefield, like a sword about to be unsheathed.

This guy seems to be a warmonger - Situ Yong saw his own shadow in Zhang Lingpu, well, it's really a bit like himself in the early years, didn't he leave Nanhua in a hurry, and went north to have today's results after several ups and downs?

Situ Yong secretly praised Zhang Lingpu, and then looked at Xu Xiangqian, compared with Zhang Lingpu's fanaticism, Xu Xiangqian seemed calm and calm, although his expression was a little excited, he quickly calmed down, and his face did not change, which showed that he was a tough person in his heart.

He sat quietly in a corner and didn't speak, low-key, unassuming, didn't like to talk much, didn't like to be showy, and didn't attract attention, in fact, he clearly observed the surrounding Yiqiē in his heart.

Like the mountains and the sea, it feels calm and introverted, and he can complete the task if he gives it to him.

No wonder the boss values him so much, it turns out that he really has a similar temperament to the boss. ”

The more Situ Yong looked at Xu Xiangqian, the more he felt that he had a faint taste of Situ Nan, but it was just a taste, and it couldn't be compared with Situ Nan.

Situ Nan's quietness lies more in his self-confidence and pride, his heart is like the sea, others can't guess it, and he doesn't bother to win the applause of flowers on the surface, so he has the infinite scenery of He Wenxiu, Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin, these fast-rising political figures.

Of course, Xu Xiangqian is still an honest child today, just look at his simple face of the toiling public, and occasionally speak with a very flavorful Shanxi accent.

In addition to Zhang Lingpu and Xu Xiangqian, the agile Chen Geng, the calm Hu Zongnan, the obscene Jiang Dingwen, the energetic Liu Xiaoyao and other young officers have poured out one after another, and they are all outstanding.

Gold always shines, except for Situ Nan, in the twenties, people today did not know what kind of brilliant future these people had.

"Under the boss's arrangement, these guys don't have to worry about being left out in the cold when they get to Nanhua. Whether they're dragons or bugs, we'll see. Situ Yong thought secretly in his heart. Situ Nan has always been very accurate in his eyes on people, and he has not missed his eyes, and I believe that this time is no exception.

Thinking in his heart, he continued: "The situation in Nanyang is complicated, the imperialists are determined to kill me, and the indigenous rebels are barbaric and ignorant, wantonly destroying the stability and prosperity of Nanhua, which is unforgivable. Your trip south this time is not only an opportunity to temper yourself, but also to open up a living space for the Chinese nation, and you must be prepared to shed blood and sacrifice. ”

Situ Yong's categorical words fell heavily on the hearts of the young officers in front of him.

Even the words of opening up living space for the nation have been said, which shows that after being in a high position for a long time, the words spoken will have the effect of brainwashing others.

There have always been indigenous rebellions in South China since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and millions of Chinese migrate to South China from China every year, squeezing out how much space for the local aborigines? If there is no turmoil, it is not normal.

Since turmoil exists, it goes without saying that there are also foreign forces intervening behind the scenes, such as the British, the Japanese, or the Americans. In short, human nature is too complicated. Nanyang is at the junction of exchanges and collisions between the East and the West. Economic, cultural, religious, ethnic, and other aspects of conflict have never stopped.

In recent years, the large-scale influx of Chinese immigrants into South China and the development of important resources such as oil, gas, and rubber in South China have attracted even more attention. In this regard, Situ Nan later commented: "Although it was not flashy and noisy, in the Eastern world, especially in the Chinese world, the twenties were an era of boiling industry and various conflicts like fire. ”

Of course, the situation is not as grim as Situ Yong said. He deliberately said this to test the mental integrity and character of these people.

Situ Yong remained silent, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. These boys are all patriotic and enthusiastic national fighters, and they have not been polluted by other bad ideas.

Zhang Lingpu and the others didn't know that their respected General Situ had such complicated thoughts flashing in their hearts for a while, although they were excited, the discipline of the soldiers made them always listen quietly to the encouragement of their idols.

I saw a major next to Situ Yong stand up and speak: "I am Major Mo of the General Staff, just as General Situ said, this operation is very important, so we must strictly follow the secret regulations of the troops." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Lingpu and the others followed the gaze of Major Mo of the General Staff and secretly looked around, and found that before they knew it, all the sounds around the room were gone, and even the attendants on the ship never appeared. It is estimated that the military people drove away the surrounding idlers, and there must be soldiers outside the room under martial law.

'Because we are very much in line with our allies. The weapons system, personnel training, and operational command systems of the two sides are almost identical, so serving in South China is actually no different from serving in China. The General Staff will mark you according to your performance in South China, and appoint you as appropriate when you return to China.

Well, you cadets are part of this operation, and in addition to you, some officers and soldiers of the tax police regiment are also involved in the southward combat operation. ”

Major Mo's words shocked Zhang Lingpu and the others, and from the moment they saw Situ Yong, they felt more and more that going south was an opportunity, and they had to seize the opportunity to make contributions on the battlefield to get ahead.

They all thought to themselves: they thought they had been assigned, but they didn't think that they were still deeply responsible?!

After Major Mo finished speaking, Situ Yong concluded: "You are the best graduates I have personally selected, the elite of the elite, so I hope you will work hard to show your strength, win glory for the country, and don't lose to your colleagues in Nanhua." ”

In the end, he did not forget to give Zhang Lingpu more sweetness to these rookies, "The General Staff plans to expand the new-style troops in the next five years, and at that time priority will be given to the selection of officers with combat experience." ”

Wow, now Zhang Lingpu is not calm, and they feel that a golden avenue is shining in front of them......

After being poured a "chicken soup for the soul", Zhang Lingpu and others couldn't wait to put on their wings and fly to Nanhua, pick up machine guns to defeat the rebel natives, and recapture the manor land of the Chinese.

Back in the room, Xu Xiangqian's excited heart finally calmed down, and he was teased by Liu Xiaoyao's gossip again.

Liu Xiaoyao seemed to be unsatisfied, and said with some envy: "I heard that after the South China Revolution, the officers and soldiers were wantonly awarded fields for military merits, and the general soldiers were allocated 100 acres of fertile land. Take our beloved General Situ as an example, he is also a large landowner with at least 10,000 acres of land in Nanhua. ”

"And get a share of the land?" Xu Xiangqian asked with concern, he was born in rural Shanxi, he has a deep affection for the land, and he became interested as soon as he heard it. (No one is more obsessed with the land than the Chinese)

"Of course it's true. My hometown of Hunan, close to Guangdong, came from Guangdong a few years ago, and in the two years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of Lao Guang went to Nanyang, because their relatives and friends divided a large area of land there. Cool to death those old people! ”

Liu Xiaoyao sighed with a smile.

Xu Xiangqian grew his mouth slightly, he was from the north, and he didn't know as much about Nanyang as Liu Xiaoyao, and thought: If he also gets a hundred acres of land and moves his hometown out of Wutai Mountain, it is estimated that his family is also willing.

"Nanhua has a land area of more than 1 million square kilometers, which is much larger than the land area of less than 200,000 square kilometers in Guangdong. Like our General Situ, their Situ family is a meritorious family for the founding of Nanhua, and naturally they are also the big landowners of Nanhua.

Nanhua is rich in products, fertile land, and underpopulated, while our domestic population is too large, whether it is merchants or landless farmers, they are willing to go to Nanyang to fight. This is also the reason why a large number of domestic people have migrated to South China in recent years. ”

Liu Xiaoyao said.

"How do you know so much? Do you still know General Situ's family? Xu Xiangqian asked.

"It's not a big secret, when I was in Wuhan, I should be able to inquire about communicating with teachers and classmates. You're just too quiet. ”

Liu Xiaoyao glanced at Xu Xiangqian, this classmate has excellent grades, but he is a little bored and inactive among his classmates, in comparison, Zhang Lingpu is much more dazzling, and he is the star of the school.

"Oh! I don't speak Mandarin well, and I'm afraid of people laughing, so I don't like to talk much. Hehe, it's much better now. Xu Xiangqian smiled a little embarrassed.

Zhang Lingpu also nodded on the side, agreeing.

For some reason, it is somewhat puzzling that the standards of simplified Mandarin promoted by these two regimes that are obviously dominated by southerners, such as Nanhua and China, and the Beijing accent.

Zhang Lingpu, who had studied in Beijing, had no language barrier when he arrived in Wuhan, and he was like a fish in water. In terms of language, thanks to Situ Nan's vigorous promotion of four-year compulsory education, the mandatory use of Chinese pinyin teaching, simplified Chinese characters and vernacular Chinese, they will not have a language barrier when they arrive in Nanhua.

"Then again, Lao Guang's land was also fought back from the foreigners and natives with a knife and a gun, so there is no need to envy them. As long as we work hard and serve the country sincerely, the country will be strong and the people will be rich. ”

Zhang Lingpu said, his words summed up the utilitarian and vulgar topic of land distribution just now.

"Well said, we just want to serve the country sincerely." Liu Xiaoyao and Xu Xiangqian said in unison.

The topic of dividing land is not vulgar, but noble and full of justice, otherwise why would the Japanese go to the northeast to open up the so-called royal paradise, the red sun abused the peasants thousands of times, and the peasants still loved him as their first love? To put it bluntly, land buys people's hearts, and all of China's problems can be answered on land.

Whether it is Situ Yong, a big man who has already risen, or Zhang Lingpu and Xu Xiangqian, a group of fledgling hot-blooded young people, they can't understand how magnificent and wonderful their encounters and the interweaving of the changing times will be in history!

When Situ Nan saw Situ Yong, he couldn't help but ask about the expressions of the young officers in the second-class cabin below.

"They are full of vitality, quick thinking, excellent grades, and the Central Military Academy has produced a batch of good seedlings, and I have no doubt that they can clean up those indigenous rebels in South China."

Situ Yong said with a smile. He was familiar with the indigenous rebellions in South China, and some of the indigenous rebellions were not to be feared, and the rebel areas were all remote areas, and did not affect coastal industrial cities such as New Tangshan. Moreover, even if they fought in the jungle, the indigenous forces were no match for the South China Defense Force.

"That's good."

Situ Nan nodded and said, "Actually, I don't really want officers in the revolutionary army to have a background in Japan, they have complex backgrounds, and I don't like them." Therefore, we need to strengthen cooperation with the German military circles, so that they can train local officers like Zhang Lingpu for us. ”

"Well, I will discuss this issue with Commander Li and Chief of Staff Bai, and we will pay attention to it." Situ Yongdao.
