"Teacher Zhang, it's been more than an hour. Why has the city gate not opened yet? Is it going to take a few minutes to call me to report? Is Song Mingxuan going to give us a warning?" Qiu An muttered dissatisfied.

Seeing that it was dark, I couldn't see my fingers anymore. Everyone was hungry, cold and hungry, so I couldn't feel any dissatisfaction in my heart.

"Don't be impatient!" Zhang Yiro couldn't help but show a hint of worry in his eyebrows. If he was blocked from the door and spent the night outside the city, it would be a joke!

Although Qiu An was just a speculative word, it was not impossible. Although Dong Kang sold a lot of weapons to the Twenty-Ninth Army before, the relationship between the two armies was quite good.

But he knew that the two armies had a little awkward in the face of the entertainment expenses of this Western military observation group. I wonder if Song Mingxuan would deliberately make things difficult for them because of this little thing.

This is hard to say, who knows what Song Mingxuan is thinking?

Logically speaking, it should be reported and discussed for such a long time, so why is there still no movement?

"Teacher Zhang, do you want to send a telegram to President Lu to report our situation?" Qiu An suggested, "It's not a solution for us to wait like this?"

"Okay, correspondent soldier, set up a radio station..." Zhang Yihu thought for a moment and asked the superiors to communicate directly. There was no way out.

At this moment, suddenly there were crowds of people on the Dajing Gate, and the closed door also heard the sound of "rattle" sore teeth.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yihou waved his hand and ordered.

The city gate opened wide, and a team of 29th Army cavalry rushed out from inside, with about a dozen people holding torches. Each person was carrying a big blade in addition to carrying a carriage rifle!

"This Northwest Army is indeed from a remote countryside, and each has a big blade!" A chuckle came from the team.

"Shut up, the Northwest Army is not easy to mess with. Be careful of the trouble coming from the mouth!" Qiu An scolded coldly. His soldiers usually have their eyes on their foreheads, which is too good to cause trouble.

In a moment, this team of cavalry rushed to them!

"Is the person coming from the 181st Division of the 28th Army of the East?" A major of the 29th Army shouted!

“That’s right!”

"This is General Liu Ruming, the commander of the 2nd Division of our 29th Army!" The major pointed his hand at a tall and serious lieutenant general on the left. He introduced.

"Liu Ruming, one of the five tiger generals of the Northwest Army!" Zhang Yihu was about to come to Zhangjiakou, so of course he had to study and understand the military chiefs at all levels of the 29th Army, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with.

"Dropping off the horse!" Zhang Yi roared and waved his hand, and everyone with him turned over and dismounted!

"Hello, Commander Liu, I am Zhang Yihu, Commander of the 181st Division of the 28th Army!" Zhang Yihu led Qiu An and others forward and saluted.

When Liu Ruming saw Zhang Yihu turn over and get off the horse, he also got off the horse's back. Although Zhang Yihu's rank is one level lower than him, he is also the leader of the first division. In terms of strength, his temporary 2nd division is not as good as the horse-selling horse, let alone the other is still a guest!

Riding on a horse and receiving salute from others is a bit arrogant and rude. If it is reported, others say that Liu Ruming is too rude!

"Teacher Zhang, welcome!" Liu Ruming is a person who doesn't talk much, and his words and actions reveal a kind of conciseness and ability!

"Teacher Liu personally went out of the city to greet him, which made Zhang flattered!" Zhang Yihou smiled slightly.

"Your army and our army are friendly forces, it should be!" Liu Ruming said, "Team Commander Zhang, please!"

"Thank you!"

Everyone got back on the horse, Liu Ruming led the team in front, Zhang Yihu led the people behind, and entered one after another, slowly passed the Dajing Gate and entered Zhangjiakou.

It’s different inside and outside the Great Wall. It’s pitch black in the north of the Great Wall Gate, and there’s no light, and the temperature is much lower than that in the pass.

After passing the Dajing Gate, this is obviously different. The lights are clear and popular. Just as it was night, the night vision was very lively and people were coming and going.

The location of Chahar Provincial Government is Xuanhua County, Zhangjiakou. It takes at least two hours to walk and arrive in half an hour to ride a horse!

"Teacher Zhang, Song Zx held a banquet at Chaoyanglou Hotel to greet you, please follow me!" Liu Ruming got the news first.

"Song Zx is so polite, then we should be respectful and obey our orders!" Zhang Yihu held his fists slightly and agreed.

Chaoyanglou Hotel, built in the Qing Dynasty, is the largest and most luxurious hotel in Xuanhua City and the highest-end hotel.

Ordinary people don’t have the financial resources to eat here, and they have to eat dozens of oceans at the most ordinary table here!

Song Mingxuan chose to hold a banquet here to welcome Zhang Yihu, which shows that his importance to Zhang Yihu was really flattered for such an unknown little person.

"Teacher Zhang, please!"

"What a Chaoyang Tower!" Zhang Yihu was amazed and handed the war horse to the guards. He followed Liu Ruming into the Chaoyang Tower Hotel with Qiu An.

The lights inside were brightly lit and very lively. Liu Ruming led Zhang Yihu and the others to walk upstairs slowly.

"Here, Commander Zhang, let's go in first, Song Zx will arrive in a while!"

The ground is covered with soft carpets, exquisite screens and quaint furniture, as if they have entered a paradise on earth at once!

"Song zx is here!"

The commander of the 29th Army General Song Mingxuan and two lieutenant generals slowly walked up the stairs with a smile on their faces.

"Song zx!"

"This must be Commander Zhang. Hello, I am Song Mingxuan!" Song Mingxuan took off his gloves and shook hands with Zhang Yihu, "These two behind me are Lieutenant General Zhang Weifan and Lieutenant General Xiao Zhenying!"

"Hello, Chief of Staff Zhang!" "Hello, General Secretary Xiao!"

"Hello, Commander Zhang!"

After a while, everyone returned to the private room together.

Adding Qiu An to the numbers, there are a total of six people in the group.

Qiu An's military rank is only a major. If it weren't for the guests, he would not be qualified to sit on such a table.

Song Mingxuan is the general, and then Zhang Weifan, Xiao Zhenying and Liu Ruming are all lieutenant generals, and Zhang Yihu is the major general!

The military chiefs of the 29th Army were not young, and they had been through war for a long time. They all had the smell of a long time general.

In comparison, although Zhang Yihu was appointed as a major general, he was young and had little experience, so he seemed a little weak!

However, although Zhang Yihu was young, he rushed all the way. Moreover, within this year, Zhang Yihu had experienced more than a dozen battles of laughter, seven or eight minor injuries. He also had two major injuries. The rank of major general was really beaten!

"I already know the purpose of Commander Zhang's arrival. Our 29th Army will fully cooperate with Commander Zhang's work!" Song Mingxuan said.

"Thank you, Song Zx!"

"Don't be so polite. Dong Kang and the 29th Army are friendly forces, so it is appropriate to take care of each other!" Song Mingxuan raised his glass and said, "Song welcomes Commander Zhang on behalf of the 29th Army!"

"Song zx is so polite, Zhang is flattered!" Zhang Yihu hurriedly stood up and cried with Song Mingxuan.

"Teacher Zhang, I respect you. You are beautiful in Liaodong and Beiman, and it is very satisfying. It also greatly enhances the aura of our Chinese!" Chief of Staff Zhang Weifan stood up and raised his glass.

"Thank you, Chief of Staff Zhang. These are all achievements that the soldiers have achieved under the command of our Commander-in-Chief Lu!" Zhang Yihao said hurriedly.

"Brother Houde is the most incredible hero I have ever seen!" Song Mingxuan's eyes showed a hint of admiration and envy.

"Come on, cheers!"

"Dry!"

"Brother Lu always has unexpected results in doing things. This time, he sent a confidant general like Commander Zhang to receive the Western International Military Observation Team, which is really in line with his style!" After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Song Mingxuan asked with a smile.

"Song zx, in this live-fire confrontation exercise, our Donggong did not intend to invite friendly countries to come to observe. It was just a response to a demonstration in which the Japanese joint fleet sailed into our Yangtze River a few days ago. However, we did not expect that a small confrontation exercise would attract so much attention from the international and domestic countries. Britain, the United States, France and other countries have put forward the request for observation exercises and put pressure on the government. In order to please these countries, the government agreed to their request and put pressure on us. This is why we have another observation plan. For this reason, we have to postpone the exercise time and re-formulate the exercise plan!" Zhang Yihu explained.

"So that's the twists and turns!"

"So, if we took the initiative to invite the exercise team, we would definitely pay a lot of money. However, we did not take the initiative to invite the government, and the government agreed without authorization, so the money should be paid by the government, so..."

"Teacher Zhang doesn't know yet. You President Lu has agreed to give a part of the entertainment expenses!" General Senator Xiao Zhenying said with a smile.

"Oh, I don't know this yet!" Zhang Yihu was slightly stunned.

"Teacher Zhang, almost all the people from the observation group will arrive tomorrow. We will set off the day after tomorrow and go to the exercise area. What do you think?" Song Mingxuan asked.

"I have no problem here, but I don't know the transportation of the observation group?" Zhang Yihu asked.

"We are ready for the car and horse, but I just don't know how your reception work is being prepared!" Song Mingxuan smiled.

"Then there is no problem. Everything is ready for us!" Zhang Yi shouted.

"Okay, then we'll be relieved!"

"Song zx, before setting out for the observation exercise, some of the observation team's actions will obey our instructions!" Zhang Yi shouted, "That is to say, before going to observe the exercise, we must set some rules for them first!"

"What, set rules!" Song Mingxuan and the others were shocked.

"Yes, military exercise observation involves many military secrets. In order to ensure that our military secrets are not leaked, we have formulated some exercise observation regulations. These regulations must be explained clearly to them before they enter the exercise area. Once they enter the exercise area, we will follow these regulations and the fouls will be severely punished!" Zhang Yi shouted.

"That's right, do we also need to abide by such rules?" Chief of Staff Zhang Weifan asked.

"It is supposed to be true in theory, but we are friendly forces and the regulations are not so strict, but for foreign forces, it is different. We are friendly countries now and may not be so in the future. Therefore, we cannot open it for them to see. In this way, our secrets and strength are completely exposed to their eyes?" Zhang Yi shouted, "Especially the Japanese, this time they have also sent military officers to join the observation group."

When it comes to the Japanese, Song Mingxuan and the other two looked bad. As the Chinese, they hated the invaders in their hearts.

"Teacher Zhang, if the rules are too strict, will it cause diplomatic disputes?" asked General Senator Xiao Zhenying.

"Since I want to come to observe the exercise, I have to abide by our rules. We do not welcome those who abide by the rules!" Zhang Yirou said with a chuckle.

"This is, if you don't follow the rules, wouldn't it be a mess? And this is a military exercise, or a real gun or a real ammunition. What if you accidentally get injured?"

"Well, okay, Commander Zhang, you must establish this rule for observation and exercises, and we do not object to it, but if something happens, you must take responsibility yourself, and we will not be responsible!" Song Mingxuan said, this matter was dangerous, and the 29th Army should not participate!

"Thank you, Song Zx. All the consequences will be borne by our Dong Kangyi. They have nothing to do with the 29th Army!" Zhang Yihu shouted. In fact, as long as the 29th Army does not interfere, it is enough. After all, this is on their territory. If Song Mingxuan interferes forcibly, their work will be difficult.

"Well, Commander Zhang, I hope you think twice before taking action and not take extreme actions!" Song Mingxuan stared at Zhang Yi roared and reminded him.

"Please don't worry, Song zx, we will take a good grasp of the situation!" Zhang Yi shouted.

"Yeah, it's very good!" Song Mingxuan was a little unhappy, but he didn't make a comeback. He just nodded, "Ziliang, please greet Commander Zhang for me, and there are some military affairs that need to be handled. I have to go back immediately!"
