The members of the reintegration committee encountered difficulties that they had not thought of before, and after the three of them came to the headquarters of the new army, only a few officers chatted with them for a while, and it was not long before several people went out one after another, and the three of them were also kept hanging out.

The conference room of the headquarters was empty, and there was not even a person to deliver a glass of water for several hours, which really annoyed a few people, and when they first came, the arrogance of the prime was gone. In its place was a bout of frustration.

The three of them wanted to go out, but there were a few gendarmerie soldiers standing at the door. One of the adjutant horses, who was standing there, replied cheerfully, saying that he had been conducting a live-fire drill recently, and for the safety of several commanders, the people from the headquarters had ordered him not to go out casually for the time being, otherwise they would not be able to afford it.

Song Tisheng wanted to scold, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, at this time, there was a gunfire like bursting beans from all sides, Adjutant Ma pointed to the place where the gun sounded and said with a smile: "Commanders, please listen, the live-fire drill has begun, and the commander ordered me to protect your safety, if there is a mistake, I can't afford it." Without further ado, I am going to participate in the drill on my side, I am grieved and grieved. ”

After speaking, Adjutant Ma ordered the two soldiers standing at the door in fluent Cantonese: "You two are here, protect the commanders, don't let them walk around, otherwise I will ask you!" ”

"Yes!" The two soldiers snapped and replied.

Song Tisheng couldn't understand Cantonese, so he naturally didn't know what Adjutant Ma meant, but from his stern tone, he knew that nothing good was good. The three of them went back to the conference room obediently, but it didn't take long for the three of them to become anxious.

Song Tisheng, the leader of the reorganization team, lit one pack of three-fort cigarettes he brought with him, making the room full of smoke, but his mood still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Song Tisheng was a revolutionary engaged in civilian work, and before accepting this task of reorganization, he did not have too outstanding work achievements, and he had always been responsible for revolutionary propaganda and clerkship, but Song Tisheng had great revenge in his heart.

He knew that he had been staying in the back agency and doing nothing, so when he heard that there was this reorganization mission, he recommended himself and came to this place.

Time passed little by little, and after a few hours in the empty conference room of the headquarters, the three members of the reorganized group couldn't help but feel that their stomachs were empty, and the stomachs of the three people were rumbling after a while.

Song Tisheng frowned and looked at his two assistants, the first time he did something like this, he felt ashamed to think about it.

"Go, call your chief." Song Ti walked to the door angrily and said to the guards with *.

The guards didn't seem to hear him, and still stood there straight, motionless. Song Tisheng is also a backbone person after all, seeing that the two guards were motionless, he shouted loudly outside the door with his hands on his waist.

"Wang Maocai! Do you know what you are doing? "You come out!" "Do you want to learn from Chen Jiongming's rebellion?" ……

If you want to say that Song Tisheng really has a few hands to scold, when he crossed his waist and scolded, Wang Mao, who was next door, heard it completely, and Batu and several people couldn't help laughing after hearing it.

Wang Maocai also wondered in his heart, why did so many military commanders scold me? I'm still the one who has been with them the longest and has the best attitude!

Seeing that more than five hours had passed, Song Tisheng was also tired of scolding, only to hear the sound outside getting quieter and quieter, and finally slowly turned into a dumb scolding voice, Wang Mao straightened his military uniform and said, "Let's go, it's time to apologize now." ”

By the time he saw Wang Maocai and a few people coming, Song Tisheng was already sitting on the chair with his head bowed like a wilted eggplant, and he didn't have the same look as he had just come a few hours ago, and the other two team members also lost their temper, sitting there motionless, stunned like a wooden chicken.

Seeing this scene, Wang Maocai pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Three commanders, because of something just now, the troops were going to conduct a military exercise, so they had to place the three here, I'm really sorry!" ”

Song Ti stood up angrily, he pointed at Wang Maocai's nose and scolded loudly: "Wang Maocai, you are openly resisting the reorganization!" Do you want to be the next Chen Jiongming? ”

As soon as Song Tisheng said this, Wang Maocai hurriedly shook his head and said: "Sir, you can't say that, our new army was formed by the president himself, and we all shed blood and sweat when Chen Jiongming rebelled, and what you say will make those Cantonese soldiers outside feel cold!" If I report this to the War Department and say that you are here to reorganize because you are worried about the mutiny of our new army, then I will ask whose idea it was? ”

Wang Maocai's mouth was quite sharp, and he hit the nail on the head, and a few words made Song Tisheng begin to calm down, and Song Tisheng realized that he had said the wrong thing just now.

Fortunately, a person from the reorganization group next to him came over and said, "Senior Commander Wang, I won't mention the previous things, let's get us some food first, we all want to taste the food of our new army?" ”

Wang Maocai patted his head: "Oh, how many of you haven't eaten yet?" It's also my fault, I've been so busy with military training that I forget everything, and as long as we soldiers carry guns, we don't order food. Why don't you talk to the guards at the door? ”

"I wanted to say it, but the two people at the door stood like statues, and they didn't talk back at all." Song Tisheng couldn't help complaining.

"Oh, Chief Song is angry, these are Cantonese children, although we are teaching, but many times we still can't understand other local dialects, Chief Song's accent is too strong, they probably don't understand. Let's eat first, and talk while eating. ”

was sneered at by Wang Maocai for no reason, Song Tisheng naturally felt uncomfortable, but when the gang brought the steaming meal, he didn't care about anything, and picked up the steaming rice chop.

Seeing that the members of the three groups were all hot and pulling rice, Wang Mao, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but light a cigarette.

"Three chiefs, please go back and report on the reorganization, just say that Commander Huang has not come back, and it is inappropriate to make such a big change now, I think so, wait until Commander Huang comes back, and then discuss the reorganization in detail."

After speaking, Wang Maocai took a long puff of cigarette, and then looked at the three people who were gobbling up. Song Tisheng put down the chopsticks, he picked up a glass of water, took a sip of it, swallowed it, and then stood up and said, "Let's go!" ”

The reorganization matter was finally stabbed to the president, and the three members of the reorganization team reported at each level, and finally portrayed Wang Maocai and several people as a gang of renegade officers with the nature of Chen Jiongming, and finally all kinds of spearheads were pointed at Huang Ke. Many people have begun to openly impeach Huang Ke as the biggest warlord in the revolutionary army, saying that he has the heart to betray the revolution, and some people have even suggested that Huang Ke be secretly arrested, and all his officers should be arrested.

For a while, all kinds of chaotic opinions made the president's brows furrowed, did he see the wrong person again? Could it be that Huang Ke and the new army led by him are going to become the new Chen Jiongming again? The great cause of the Northern Expedition has not yet been completed, is it going to be chaotic from within?

For a time, important officials from the War Department and other departments of the new government in Guangzhou suggested one after another, and even many old revolutionaries of the League found the president one after another, persuading him to turn the tide and show the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, so that traitors like Huang Ke and others would be brought to justice on the spot.

President Sun was also a little hesitant, how many times he had escaped death made him already worried, worried about whether these once loyal subordinates would really betray one day? Betraying oneself or the revolution? The new army has been renamed the army of thieves, and if these people are not reorganized, this army will inevitably be disorganized, and if they really slide into the opposite side of the revolution, the consequences can be imagined......

President Sun let out a sigh of relief, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes half-closed for a while, and after a while, Mr. Liao walked in. President Sun raised his head and said, "It's Zhongkai, sit down." ”

Mr. Liao handed a telegram to the president: "It was sent by Mr. Hu from Shanghai, Huang Ke and the others have already set off from Shanghai, the ship by sea has been delayed due to the weather, and Huang Ke has set off by land in advance in order to leave early." ”

President Sun took the telegram and looked at it, and after reading it, he put the telegram paper aside, and then rubbed his eyes vigorously to wake himself up. After a while, he turned to Mr. Liao, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Xinghua, they are by land, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they arrive." ”

Mr. Liao didn't reply immediately, and after a while, he said quietly: "Huang Ke was introduced by me, I know him, he is different from Chen Jiongming." ”

"His soldiers are a little rude and reckless, or a bit of a personality cult, these are understandable, but we can't doubt him because of this, if we rashly do anything to him, it will not only affect the morale of the military and the people, but also greatly reduce our political credibility."

President Sun didn't speak, he just nodded. After half a ring, he stood up and asked, "Is the new army stationed on the outskirts of the city?" ”

Mr. Liao nodded: "The team is very scattered, but the headquarters is in Luokou Town, which is more than ten miles away from the city, where Huang Ke used to raise troops, and it was also for convenience such as contacting transportation." ”

President Sun nodded: "Zhongkai, you go and arrange it, tomorrow, no!" You go and arrange it now, I'm going to inspect the headquarters of the Forces nouvelles, I'm going to see this army for myself. ”
