That night, the old man announced that he would step down from the opposition and resign from all positions inside and outside the party of the National Government.

After deliberations between the Nationalist Government and the National Military Commission, Li Zongren was appointed acting president of the Nationalist Government and acting chairman of the Military Commission.

The old man's control over the national government is still irreplaceable, and his choice of Li Zongren's successor was even able to pass smoothly, as for Xie Baoqing, who was the most popular among the people, few people mentioned it at all.

After going into the wilderness, Jiang's father and son left Chongqing on the Meiling special plane that night, preparing to fly to the United States via Australia for temporary residence, which is also his only choice at present.

Li Zongren flew from Guangxi to Chongqing to take office, and the first thing he did was to release Zhang Xueliang, who was under house arrest.

After Zhang Xueliang was released from house arrest, the first thing he did was to fly to Tianjin with Miss Zhao Si to meet Xie Baoqing.

Looking at the transport plane slowly landing in the sky, Xie Tian stared at the plane with a smile on his face and asked, "Brother Pang, what did you say Zhang Xueliang came from?" ”

Pang Yuan smiled and replied very simply: "I don't know." ”

Xie Tian retracted his gaze and looked at Pang Yuan speechlessly: "I didn't expect that the wise big brother also had things that he didn't know." ”

Pang Yuan laughed and said: "I'm not a jack of all trades, he may be here on behalf of Li Zongren, or he may be here to defect, or he may want to use your strength to recover the Northeast." Although hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northeast Army were scattered and divided into various units by the old man Niang Xipi, it is undeniable that Zhang Xueliang is still very appealing in the Northeast Army. ”

Xie Tian smiled: "I know what he is here for." ”

"What for?" Pang Yuan looked at Xie Tian.

Zhang Xueliang is not easy to figure out, he can't guess what Zhang Xueliang means, thank God that he knows.

Xie Tian smiled evilly: "I won't tell you." ”

Tang Hao'er and Lan Yufang on the side couldn't help but laugh, this is a must-pay for this goods, I don't tell you this sentence is revenge for Pang Yuan's unknowingly sentence just now.

Zhang Xueliang came with Miss Zhao Si, and Xie Tian and Pang Yuan naturally brought Tang Haoer and Lan Yufang, as well as a few female relatives to accompany them, so as to facilitate the reception of Miss Zhao Si.

In addition to the two wives, Shen Xiang, Zhao Gang and other major generals in Tianjin were waiting at the airport to greet them, and even Fu Zuoyi on the Beiping front line and Xu Shiyou on the Cangzhou front were called back by Xie Tian and put on a big lineup.

Xie Tian is also full of expectations for Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si, the two famous figures, Xie Tian never dreamed that he would see so many famous people in his life, and he also made such a vigorous career.

Zhang Xueliang's plane slowly landed at the small airport in the military restricted area, and Xie Tian and the others greeted him with smiles on their faces.

The cabin door opened, and the energetic Zhang Xueliang appeared at the door of the cabin, and before the gangway was completely lowered, he had already waved to Xie Tian and the others who were speeding up their pace and waved hello: "Commander-in-Chief Xie, Brother Wen, Han Qing is here." ”

Xie Tian laughed and took the lead to the gangway to shake hands with Zhang Xueliang, who was stepping down the gangway: "The name of Commander-in-Chief Zhang has long been like thunder, and I can see it today, Commander-in-Chief Zhang's demeanor is still the same, which is really admirable." ”

Don't pretend, now that it has begun to become clear, Xie Tian no longer has to talk about seniority and hide behind Pang Yuan to contact people.

People who have been in officialdom for a long time know who is the master and who is the slave, and they can be distinguished from the order of shaking hands.

And when Zhang Xueliang said hello, he also put him in front of Pang Yuan, everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, and it would be boring to pretend again.

Xie Tian smiled and shook hands with Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang's age is similar to Pang Yuan, a few years older than Xie Tian, Xie Baoqing, but these two people feel a little discordant when they stand together in the same frame.

Zhang Xueliang looks polite and talented, and Xie Tian's lines are rough and bold (beautified, in fact, more like a beast)

Miss Zhao Si let go of the little hand on Zhang Xueliang's arm, walked towards Tang Hao'er with a reserved smile, and took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "You should be Miss Hao'er, I have been friends with you for a long time." ”

It seems that Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si did a lot of work before they traveled, Tang Haoer rarely shows his head in public, and Miss Zhao Si can also accurately recognize Tang Haoer.

Tang Hao'er smiled and took Miss Zhao Si's hand: "I have also been fond of Miss Fourth for a long time, and it is an honor to meet Miss Fourth today." ”

The women began to talk together, Zhang Xueliang shook hands with Pang Yuan and greeted him, and Xie Tian introduced him one by one to Shen Xiang, Zhao Gang, Fu Zuoyi, Xu Shiyou and others who accompanied him to pick up the airport.

Everyone met in turn, and politely walked to the western-style building of the headquarters.

Zhang Xueliang looked at Xie Tian with emotion and said: "I'm no stranger to Tianjin, I've been to this place before, but I didn't expect that a hundred years of shame would end in the hands of Commander-in-Chief Xie, and Han Qing was ashamed." ”

Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si met in Tianjin, two years in love, after Zhang Xueliang took over as the commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, the eighteen-year-old Miss Zhao Si set off from Tianjin with the acquiescence of Zhao Qingsheng, the deputy chief of transportation of her father, and Zhang Xueliang 'eloped', Zhao's father saw off at the railway station immediately after the newspaper broke off the father-daughter relationship with Miss Zhao Si, and also took this opportunity to resign from public office and retire to the mountains and forests.

Xie Tian grabbed Zhang Xueliang's arm and smiled: "Brother Han Qing, some things always have to be settled by someone, and Baoqing is just a trick." ”

Xie Tian's recovery of the Tianjin concession in one fell swoop was indeed suspected of cheating, and the Chongqing government took on the pressure for him.

Zhang Xueliang looked at Xie Tian and smiled bitterly: "Tricks also depend on strength, I have been in the apartment for several years, and what I see every day is that our land has been invaded by the Japanese, and my heart is like ashes, until your appearance makes me rekindle hope." I have studied and judged every step of your way, pushing myself and others, Baoqing, if I were in your position, I admit that I can't do these things you do. ”

Since the Double 12 Incident, Zhang Xueliang has been placed under house arrest by Jiang, banned from dating, but can't help listening, Zhang Xueliang can still see all kinds of newspapers and periodicals in time.

Zhang Xueliang began to pay attention to Xie Tian from Xie Tian's recovery of Qizhou, when the entire northwest of Shanxi Province became a pot of porridge, and few people could find Xie Tian to cut off the Tongpu railway in Zhangzhuang was the fuse of the chaos in the northwest of Shanxi Province, and it was not until Xie Tian recovered Qizhou that the PLA began to attract people's attention.

From then on, Zhang Xueliang began to collect reports about Xie Tian and the People's Liberation Army.

His understanding of Xie Tian also comes from various newspapers and periodicals, including Xie Tian's ideal world, which he has also read, although he does not agree with it, but he is extremely shocked.
