That is the principal's most personal and trusted lieutenant, secretary and bodyguard. He is the person the principal is willing to entrust with his life and fortune.
Needless to say, there are benefits to building a good relationship with this kind of person, right?
Although Zhou Wen never expected to be promoted in his heart, he still wanted to get rich in order to prepare for the future war of resistance, and he was still very eager.
This requires creating a good living environment for yourself and the mercenary group, which can also be said to be an environment for making money.
So even though Zhou Wen didn't think highly of the principal and didn't like him very much, since he was determined to resist Japan and develop in the environment of the Republic of China, the principal was an obstacle that he couldn't get over.
Just like Zhou Wen wants to develop in Shanxi, whether he wants to or not, he must have a good relationship with Marshal Yan. This is the same reason.
The mighty dragon is not overpowering the local snake. No matter how capable you are and how powerful you are, you cannot let yourself fall into a vicious cycle of internal friction. In that case, only the real enemy - the little devil will be happy.
Therefore, getting closer to Adjutant Wang actually changed the direction of getting closer to the principal.
Some people would say that if they had known this, why bother? Zhou Wen saved the principal's life during the Central Plains War. Later, he made many meritorious deeds on the eastern and southern fronts respectively. In the end, he cooperated internally and externally to capture the strategic town of Xuchang. With these merits,
, Zhou Wen followed the principal closely at that time, wouldn’t the relationship become even closer?
Why did Zhou Wen have to stay away from the principal at that time and try every means to return to Shanxi? But now that the mercenary group has been in a good situation, and with the support of Marshal Yan in Shanxi, it is not a big problem to develop alone, but suddenly it is the opposite.
Do you want to hug the principal's lap?
In fact, this also conforms to the old saying: That moment is the same as this moment!
At that time, the mercenary group was only Xiao He who showed its prowess. In addition to its combat effectiveness, it was decent. It had no connections or reputation, no basis for independent development, and it had no scale or influence.
At that time, the mercenary group was just a small sampan in the sea. I don't know when a big wave would hit, and it would be overturned. Under that situation, as long as Zhou Wen did not break away from the principal's control, almost everything would be over.
This team was basically annexed by the National Army.
At most, Zhou Wen's ending will be better. He was sent by the principal to the Army Military Academy for two years, where he mixed up his background, and then became a company commander and battalion commander. He might still be fighting a civil war somewhere.
This is called being involuntarily. No matter how close you are to the principal, it doesn’t matter. At most, you can get promoted faster than others. But no matter what official position you hold, you must have a mother-in-law to take care of you. You can still have
How many chances do you have to realize your anti-Japanese ambitions?
The brothers were all separated, and he became a small officer with no autonomy. Even if he could become a regiment commander and brigade commander based on his own ability, he would be nothing more than a drifting duckweed in the long history of the Republic of China.
But now Zhou Wenhe's mercenary group is different. Not only does it have its own industry and can be self-sufficient, but the size of the army is also different from the past. It also has a great reputation from two anti-Japanese battlefields. In terms of strength, reputation and influence
They are all a bit stronger than ordinary warlords.
Moreover, there are overt and covert support from the King of Shanxi and the King of Northwest China. Although some of them were deliberately done by others to show to the principal and there is a suspicion of being exploited, it is always a kind of help, isn't it? Not to mention that now there are also nationals
Many relationships in the military.
Now Zhou Wen is no longer a small role that the principal can manipulate casually.
But Zhou Wen was very calm in his heart. At this time, he couldn't be too arrogant to treat the behemoth of the Military Commission as nothing.
This is the time when you need to pay attention to building a good relationship with the principal and the Military Commission. In particular, you must give the principal, the first person in the Republic of China, enough face. Don't let him feel that you are not the same person as him and make him suspicious and suppress you.
Now Zhou Wen's strategy towards the principal is to maintain respect while maintaining distance. This is not something that can be done easily.
This requires an intermediary between Zhou Wen and the principal who can act as a buffer.
First of all, this intermediary must be someone whom the principal trusts and is in a high position. At the same time, he must not be hostile to Zhou Wen and understand him well.
Several of the principal's cronies who were close friends with Zhou Wen, such as Chief Qian and Chief Zhang, and even Chief Gu were not suitable. Although the principal also trusted them, because they had such a close relationship with Zhou Wen before, they had already been in many situations.
He showed his appreciation and favor for Zhou Wen on various occasions, but sometimes when he made remarks in front of the principal, it would easily arouse the principal's resentment.
And this Adjutant Wang was the best candidate, but Zhou Wen couldn't find a chance to get closer to him for a while.
So when he heard that the principal wanted to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting Mr. Situ, Zhou Wen proposed that during the few months before Mr. Situ arrived, Adjutant Wang would bring a few guards to guide the brothers to train their security skills.
.
The reason is also very simple. The brothers can be regarded as the ancestors of the industry when it comes to killing people. But how to protect others from being killed is something I don’t know very well. I still need some guidance and support from the principal.
This also has the effect of taking care of the principal's depressed psychology after being shocked by the combat power of the mercenary group.
Think about it, a force that is not under your absolute control has achieved a record that makes even a principal with millions of troops under his command feel palpitating. Although they are fighting against a common enemy, for the principal, there is always something wrong.
It is normal for other children to be sour, bitter, and a little depressed.
But it’s different now. It turns out that you, the kid, sometimes come to me to complain and ask for help when you don’t understand. Haha, I feel much more comfortable.
It can be said that now that Zhou Wen has had two lifetimes of experience and knowledge, and has improved his body and mind with Buddhist beads, his grasp of the psychological dynamics of these upper-class figures has reached a level of proficiency.
Moreover, Zhou Wen can be sure that as long as Adjutant Wang goes back and explains his difficulties and reasons to the principal, the principal will definitely agree happily, and the instructor sent will definitely be a highly professional instructor who will never be perfunctory.
Just kidding, it's rare for me to gain the upper hand in front of this little bandit. I have to work hard to avoid embarrassing this principal.
Therefore, taking this channel and opportunity to further develop friendship with Adjutant Wang, Zhou Wen naturally had to make the most of this opportunity.
Not only are the brothers allowed to learn their true skills, but they are also required to catch rabbits and win in one fell swoop.
Of course, these little thoughts and calculations in my heart are not enough for outsiders to know.
Otherwise, if he really told his brothers and others would just pay him back, Senior Brother Miaohua would definitely look at him with strange eyes.
, as if he was afraid that he would sell him and ask him to help him count the money.
