Zhengzhou, Henan, Chang Kaishen's temporary residence. In the living room, the chairman of the committee and his man Chen Bui were talking, but the atmosphere was not pleasant.

"What? Is the 97th Army still refusing to release people? The chairman's face became very ugly, he snorted, and continued: "What do they want?" With such wanton behavior, do you still have the National Government and the Military Commission in your eyes? If the army is like them, how can the country not be defeated! ”

Chen Bui said embarrassedly: "You are serious. After the persuasion of his subordinates, Commander Zheng had agreed to hand over the man, and agreed to hand it over directly to the German government. However, they wanted to be detained for a month, because Commander Zheng found that these Germans had some more advanced tactical ideas, and planned to let them serve as instructors and release them when they learned how to do so. ”

"Oh, what advanced thoughts? In recent years, we have sent many officers to Germany to study, and what other advanced tactics do we not know? The 97th Army is short of people, so it can be appointed by the Central Committee! The chairman was impatient at first, but when he heard it, he became a little curious. Although his level is poor, he still has a very strong interest in the military.

Chen Bui guessed: "I haven't heard of the special tactics called by Commander Zheng, maybe it was the latest research by the Germans, right?" It is said to be related to the parachute unit of the Japanese army that was annihilated some time ago. ”

"Airborne Forces?" The chairman of the committee said with a wry smile: "We don't even have enough fighters and bombers, how can we have that energy?" Besides, just because the 97th Army doesn't even have a single plane, can it form an airborne force? It's nonsense! ”

Chen Bui hurriedly explained: "It's not the Airborne Forces, but the Special Forces. This special tactic is mainly used for elite small units. Use tactical-level applications to achieve strategic objectives. According to Commander Zheng, all military powers are now groping, and the Germans are at the forefront. ”

The chairman of the committee looked at Chen Bui suspiciously, but he was still suspicious in his heart. What kind of special tactics, what hasn't the principal of the dignified Whampoa Military Academy heard of? However, since the 97th Army is willing to give a step, let's just get off the donkey! It's not good to be in a hurry, what if they take refuge in the Japanese or even in G?

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Jiang stood at the door with an apron and said, "Darling, lunch is ready, let's talk after eating first!" ”

The Chairman nodded. Say, "Good! Hikoji. Let's go, let's eat first. ”

Chen Bui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Take a seat, madam, I'd better go back first." I ate it when I first came, and I'm not hungry yet. "Actually, he didn't eat at all. It's just that Chang Kaishen's food is too unpalatable. I can't whet my appetite.

Chang Kaishen has loved Chinese food all his life. Lunch is certainly no exception. Among them, three dishes are indispensable, which can be called "treasures of the table". One is a bowl of oily but not greasy chicken soup; the second is a bowl of "Whampoa eggs"; The third is a dish of pickled salted bamboo shoots and sesame paste. In addition to these three dishes, the more common ones are plum cabbage and pork. Then there are some very light Zhejiang side dishes, which are guaranteed to make up four dishes and one soup. Also, there is some fruit after the meal.

Although Chen Bui is also a native of Zhejiang, he adheres to the teachings of Confucius, pays attention to not getting tired of eating, and does not get tired of being fine, and his taste is heavier than that of the chairman of the committee. Not only Chen Bui, but also none of the other Zhejiang villagers liked Chang Kaishen's meal, they all thought it was too light and not hearty enough.

(Note: Shanren thinks this meal is not bad, what do you want with four dishes and one soup?) Well, the high-ranking officials of the Artillery Party won't all be foodies! ）

Chang Kaishen didn't have this awareness, so he just pulled Chen Bui to the dinner table. He looked at Chen Bui's resolute look on the battlefield, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, Yanji, eat a little bit, just accompany me." ”

It turned out that Song Xiaomei only ate Western food, although the two ate at the same table, sometimes Song Xiaomei cooked herself, but they each ate their own. Foodies all know that eating alone is definitely not as appetizing as eating with family. The chairman of the committee had no choice, so he often invited his subordinates to dinner, which made the faces of his guys who were used to eating big fish and meat green, which was also an interesting thing in the Republic of China.

Because it didn't suit his taste, Chen Bui didn't eat much after eating a bowl. However, he did not put down the dishes and chopsticks, but drank the chicken soup while watching the chairman fight alone at the table.

The chairman of the committee was very happy to eat, and he also advised Chen Bui not to eat so heavy and tasteful, which is not good for his health. Chen Bui couldn't help but roll his eyes. Chang Kaishen does have super control over his diet, which is very human. The most ruthless thing is that tobacco, alcohol, and tea are not touched, and I usually only drink distilled water! In his later years, because of his high cholesterol, he didn't even eat "Whampoa eggs", and he had a pure heart and few desires.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal, let the 97th Army learn if they want to. As for the Germans, hmph, it's good to dry them! After filling his stomach, the chairman of the committee was in a good mood, waved his hand to express his agreement to the request of the 97th Army, and asked the First War Zone to send them a batch of supplies.

Chen Bui was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Be wise!" In fact, he has no friendship with Zheng Huzi, but compared with other generals of the national army, Zheng Huzi is undoubtedly more capable of fighting. Just by virtue of this, it is also worth helping, otherwise you can't help Gui Ran and Qiu Crazy!

However, Zheng Huzi does not know these circumstances. He was now figuring out how to extract value from the three Germans.

Hans studied special tactics in Brandenburg, the originator of the modern special forces. Although they are the most primitive and old-fashioned special tactics, they are the most suitable for this era. Zheng Huzi's set, advanced is advanced, but many advanced tactics are not used at all. Although he has figured out a lot of things himself, why not make use of them if he has ready-made ones?

Paul was clearly a diplomat, but in fact he was a spy. Although Hans is also more like an agent, he takes the technical route, while Paul's is tactical and even strategic, which is more significant.

Needless to say, the value of these two people is needless to say, in fact, the most powerful one is John. This guy is obscene, but he knows how to evaluate the battlefield. Who else in China understands besides him? Even Zheng Weiguo only knows a few scratches. Let's put it this way, if you don't even understand the assessment of the battlefield, you will definitely not be able to form a modern regular army.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Weiguo finally had an idea. So he hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring Hans and them over. He planned to form a crash course with three Germans as instructors in an effort to train a new breed of talent. However, although the idea is good, the execution is not smooth.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lieutenant General. We are all active duty officers in Germany, and we cannot serve in your ministry without the approval of our superiors. Hans politely refused, but the words were so dead that there was no room for negotiation.

John and Paul also looked like they were ignoring it. In front of the peoples of the East, they always liked to show a sense of Aryan superiority.

Zheng Weiguo slapped the table. "Everyone. I'm not consulting with you, I'm commanding! You can disagree, but I'll send you back to my hometown now! ”

Hans and the others were startled, but quickly calmed down. Forced smiled: "IMHO." It's not a good choice. You should be aware of the situation in your country. In this case, it is really not advisable to make more strong enemies, especially our German Empire! ”

Zheng Weiguo sneered: "No one knows that you died at my hands, everyone thinks that you were blown up on the bank of the Yellow River!" ”

Hans: They looked at each other. Although he is still holding on, his heart is like beating a drum. The Germans always have a very iron-blooded, tough feeling, just like Bayern Munich plays. But in fact, they are the most fond of intrigue and tricks in all of Europe, how can such people be ignorant of current affairs? Didn't Wilhelm II, such a bullish guy also surrender?

Outside the door of the small conference room, Chief of Staff Zhou hurried over and asked, "Where is the military seat?" ”

Ren Zhuzi pouted inside, and said, "Oh, it's still inside!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou frowned and said, "Haven't negotiated yet?" ”

The pillar nodded, and said a little angrily: "Well, those guys are very tough, and they even wanted to escape with the military seat just now." In my opinion, it's better to hand it over to Director Zhang directly, I don't believe that I can't pry their mouths open! ”

Hans and the others saw that Zheng Weiguo had no guards around him, and wanted to take him hostage, but Zheng Weiguo seized the opportunity to beat him up. As for Director Zhang, he is the director of intelligence, Zhang Zhanyuan, and some of them use means to make prisoners open their mouths.

Chief of Staff Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "What we want is not their heads, but the things in their heads." How can you be rude? We have to let them help us convincingly. ”

As he spoke, the door suddenly opened. Hans and the three of them walked out, all a little excited, but their noses and faces were swollen, and they looked very funny. Zheng Weiguo walked behind the most, looking very proud.

Chief of Staff Zhou was puzzled: "Junzao, what are they?" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, under my patient persuasion, they finally agreed to serve as instructors and consultants in our 97th Army." Ahem, Paul, the three of you, come and get acquainted, this is our Chief of Staff Zhou, you will be directly responsible to him in the future, and you can also come to him or me directly if you need anything. ”

Paul immediately stepped forward to give Chief of Staff Zhou a warm hug, and said happily: "Dear Zhou, ha, in your words, we will use the same horse spoon to scoop rice in the future." ”

Hans and John also stepped forward to enthusiastically introduce themselves, saying that they would do their best to help the 97th Army's anti-Japanese cause.

Chief of Staff Zhou and Ren Zhuzi looked at each other, not understanding how this trick came about.

After the three of them left, Ren Zhuzi hurriedly asked, "Junzao, aren't these three people soft and hard?" How suddenly it seems like a different person! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou also figured it out at this time, and said with a smile: "If you don't eat soft, it's not enough benefits; If you don't eat hard, you don't have enough deterrence. As long as you find the trick, you won't be afraid that they won't comply! ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled slightly and said, "Not bad! After much deliberation, he decided to make a deal with the Germans by taking out his advanced military ideas and related techniques. Hans and the others were both knowledgeable people, so the two sides hit it off. However, this matter is very troublesome, and the 97th Army alone will not work, and the National Government must come forward. It will take a lot of time to get it done.

In the afternoon, the three Hans took up their new duties. Zheng Weiguo ordered officers and soldiers with a secondary school education or higher from all over the army to form a crash course. They will spend the next period of time learning advanced military theories and skills from the West with three German instructors. Later, these students became the backbone of the army in various fields, and wrote an extremely amazing stroke in the history of the Anti-Japanese War.

A week later, Japanese intelligence agencies discovered that the German ambassador had hurried to Henan to meet with the chairman. He was shocked for a while, for fear that Germany would fall to China again. Fortunately, the matter quickly calmed down, and when he met with the Japanese ambassador to Germany, the mustache swore that Japan would always be an ally of Germany.

Decades later, Paul, Hans, and Johan, as well-known international friends and old friends of China, were invited to visit China many times and were ceremoniously received. At the state banquet, sitting at the same table with them were Snow, Bethune and others.

At a World War II commemoration meeting, Paul said affectionately: "China was deeply bullied by Japanese imperialism in those years. As a righteous person, I and several comrades-in-arms did not hesitate to join the anti-fascist battle of the Chinese people......"

The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause, and many Chinese present were moved to tears, calling him a great internationalist fighter.

In an interview with the German news agency, Hans recounted in detail how they joined the Chinese army as volunteers, saying that the tactical thinking of the Chinese army was backward at that time, and it was he who brought the famous special tactics to China and played an extremely crucial role in the victory of the Chinese battlefield behind enemy lines.

In his memoirs, John repeatedly emphasized that he was the founder of the modernization and regularization of the Chinese army. If it weren't for him standing up at the most dangerous time in China, the Chinese army, including the famous 97th Army, would have been nothing more than a guerrilla force. (To be continued......)
