? Yan Qingyu ran away, running without a trace, and it was too late to block the airport station. The thief disappeared from now on and could no longer find any trace.

The police department was intimidated and desperately investigated, and finally concluded that among the women who came to visit Yan Qingyu, some secretly sent him files or other tools to help him untied the shackles and shackles and escape. In short, they were all hindsmen, which disturbed the restless thieves in the provincial capital. Before leaving, they even made policemen and made them lose an adult.

Chen Zikun just smiled and said that since no one was killed, it would be fine, and the Civil Affairs Office would also ask the Civil Affairs Office to pay mercy to the civilians. He said that a thief could think about the suffering of the people. You officials just care about your own mind, regardless of whether there is overnight food in the people's homes. If this continues, I will cut off your head first without waiting for the people to rebel.

In short, the thief case that was very controversial was nothing, and no one mentioned it anymore.

A few days after the Spring Festival, a major event occurred in Nanjing. It is said that the National Assembly will enact a presidential election law. Hu Hanmin wanted to collude with Guangdong and Guangxi to compete with Chiang Kai-shek for the position of president. It is inevitable that Chiang-Hu conflicts will be inevitable. Although Hu Hanmin is a senior in the party, Chiang Kai-shek still put him under house arrest in Tangshan, the eastern suburb of Nanjing. Since then, the Kuomintang’s internal struggle has started again.

First, Guangdong leader Chen Jitang attacked Chiang Kai-shek and asked Chiang Kai-shek to treat Hu Hanmin, who was also a Guangdong native. Then Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi returned to Guangxi with a ill intention. National Civil Affairs Officer Chang Gu Yingfen resigned in a telegram, Judicial President Wang Chonghui, Railway Minister Sun Ke stayed in Shanghai but did not return, and Central Supervisory Commissioner Lin Sen and others sent telegrams to impeach Chiang Kai-shek.

Nanjing is about to storm, and Chen Zikun hurried back to Ning. Liu Ting, who had just resigned from Jiang Da, was now Chen Zikun's personal secretary, responsible for the contacts of official documents. One day in Ning, she organized various documents and files in Chen Zikun's office in an orderly manner.

Chiang Kai-shek and his wife invited Chen Zikun to the Xiaohongshan villa in the eastern suburbs to have a banquet. During the meal, they talked about Chen Zikun's position. Chiang Kai-shek said that some adjustments should be made in the political fu recently. With Zikun's qualifications and abilities, they should shoulder more important responsibilities.

Chen Zikun felt clearly in his heart. The Minister of Military Affairs is a minister of real power. Although he has a good relationship with Chiang, he is always a partner, not a superior or subordinate, and will not be able to use it easily. The current intra-party turmoil is a good time for Chiang to adjust and arrange his confidants.

"There is no distinction between the high and low level of revolutionary work, and I obey Chairman Chiang's arrangements." Chen Zikun had no complaints. Chiang Kai-shek and his wife looked at each other, and they were both praised.

Chiang Kai-shek said: "China has been weak for a hundred years and has been bullied by the great powers. It is nothing more than the country is not prosperous and strong enough to protect itself. Now that the country has been basically unified, it is time to build it. The military industry is the first to be affected. Without a strong national defense force, there is no way to talk about anything else. Zikun, I am going to set up a National Defense Construction Commission to supervise and guide the country's heavy industry, troops adjustment, railway and highway aviation and other tasks closely related to national defense. You have stayed in the United States and are proficient in military affairs. You have studied railway construction and aviation and are absolutely competent for this position."

Soong Mei-ling added: "The Supervisory Commission has a heavy responsibility and is in charge of many things. It is not competent for ordinary people. Zikun, we have considered the issue of candidates for a long time, and you are indeed the most suitable one."

Chen Zikun did not expect that the work that Chiang Kai-shek arranged for him was actually this. The National Defense Construction Supervision Commission looked like a false title, but if it was done well, there was still a lot of potential. His mind quickly turned and he thought of Beitai, which was under construction in a moment.

"Madam, Chairman Jiang, when it comes to national defense construction, I have some immature views. The national defense industry is the first to recommend steel. Without steel, it cannot build guns, cannons, bullets, and can not resist foreign captives. Although there is a Hanyang Iron Factory in Hubei, it is far from enough. I suggest building a large-scale construction in Beitai County, the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River. There are rich coal and iron resources, sufficient labor, and developed water transportation railways. You can arrive in Nanjing within one day and Shanghai within two days. Building a national defense industrial base based on coal mine iron ore, chemical factory coking plant steel plant machinery factory will definitely play an important role in my country's national defense industry."

Soong Mei-ling nodded and said, "Darling, you really chose the right person. Zikun has long been acquainted with national defense construction. Have you also expressed your ideas?"

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Three years ago, our army no longer hired Soviet advisers and turned to Germany to look for them. After the European War, a large number of German professional soldiers urgently needed work. Now, General Fozer and his team are advisers for the National Revolutionary Army. The German adviser's opinion is to build a strong and modern army, aviation and navy, build Jiangnan Railway, and connect the capital and southwestern provinces. Sooner or later, China will fight against Japan. This army is our decisive force."

Chen Zikun said: "A year of army, ten years of air force, and a hundred years of navy. Building an army is certainly a wise choice and the fastest way to achieve results, but air strength is also indispensable. When I was studying at West Point, I learned from the "Air Supremacy" by the Italian military strategist Julio Duhei and the "Air China Defense" by William Mitchell, deputy commander of the US Army Air Force. General Mitchell said that among the things that have appeared that can change the appearance of war, nothing has ever had as much influence as air force. Air force transforms war from plane to three-dimensional, and the front line has also changed from line to non-line, that is, all the territory of a country will become a front line. my country's traffic pipeline network is underdeveloped, and it takes a lot of time and money to build railways and highways, but it is very convenient to build an airport. Building a strong air force is another countermeasure to compete with Japan."

After all, he was a top student from a professional military academy and had a forward-looking idea. It was something that people like Chiang Kai-shek, who came from a non-commissioned school could not understand. Fortunately, his wife supported him. He heard what he said was very clear and interested: "I also like planes. When flying in the sky, looking down at everything, I have a feeling of God. What Darling and Zikun said makes sense. Air supremacy is very important for war."

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Zikun, come back and submit a report to me. I will ask the Ministry of Finance to approve the money. Time is too late, so we have to take action now."

...

Chen Zikun also has an official residence in Nanjing. Because he did not live forever, Yao Yilei and Jianbing could not bear the journey and did not live here. The house was full of adjutants and guards, but it was not like an official residence, but a military camp.

After returning, Chen Zikun was stunned at the blank manuscript paper, bragging about it, but he took advantage of the words and formed systematic written materials. He had no ability, and he had no idea where to start.

Liu Ting came in and asked if there was anything to serve. Chen Zikun said the main theme of the report. Jiang Da’s top student said: “This is the secretary’s job, just leave it to me.”

After spending all night, a scattered ten thousand words was freshly released. Chen Zikun read it first, and couldn't help but be amazed at Liu Ting's rich knowledge. Although it was superficial in terms of professionalism, this report was left to Lao Jiang, and this level was enough.

Shortly after the report was submitted, Chen Zikun was appointed as the chairman of the National Defense Construction Supervisory Commission by the National Civil Affairs Bureau. The Supervisory Commission has a very high level, but there is only one empty space. All the personnel are recruited by Chen Zikun. His first appointment was to appoint Liu Ting as the senior administrative secretary of the Supervisory Commission Secretariat.

The successor to the position of Minister of Military Affairs was He Yingqin, who was second only to Chiang Kai-shek's military qualifications, and Chen Zikun was promoted openly and secretly. He became the chairman of the Supervisory Committee. He was happy to be idle and devoted his energy to the construction of Beitai.

After Gai Longquan flew solo, the troops under his command were originally transferred to Hunan by the Ministry of Military Affairs to respond to the threat from Guangdong and Guangxi, but they were transferred to Jiangxi to suppress the Communist Party in the middle. They were defeated repeatedly and suffered a lot. Most of their subordinates were captured by the Red Army and their strength was greatly reduced. They regretted that they had written letters to Chen Zikun repeatedly, asking him to clear the way and transfer defense to Jiangdong. The second encirclement and suppression began. Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin personally served as the commander-in-chief. The new official took office and three fires. The battle was imminent. How could Chen Zikun pull the troops back? He had to return to Gai Longquan and just help him to work and not work.

As Qingming Festival approaches, Xia Xiaoqing wants to take her son back to Cangzhou to visit her father's grave. Chen Zikun wants to accompany him. After Yan'er heard about it, she also made a fuss to go. This is amazing. Yao Yilei and Jianbing are going with her. The three wives and two children, maids and maids, and they mobilize at least fifty or sixty people, and they don't count the guards.

Now that the country is unified, railway traffic is restored to smooth flow, Chen Zikun is the chairman of the National Defense Construction Supervision Commission, and is also a senior official with the name of the state. It is natural to make sense to hang a special train. The family set off from Nanjing, headed north along the Jinpu Road, first to Tianjin, and then to Cangzhou.

When the car arrived at Tianjin Station, Zhang Xueliang, commander-in-chief of Northeast Security, sent personnel to pick up the station. After the Central Plains War, Beijing and Tianjin became the treasure of the Zhang family. When old friends came to visit, they naturally received a warm hospitality. In addition, Yao Yilei's uncle was also in Tianjin, so he had to stay here for a few days.

As she approached Cangzhou, Xia Xiaoqing was about to return home, but she had to stay in Tianjin. She dealt with those hypocritical dignitaries all day long, which made her very upset and urged Chen Zikun to set off quickly.

Chen Zikun said that there was another important friend who wanted to visit.

Xia Xiaoqing was very impatient: "You have many friends, which one is this time?"

Chen Zikun said: "It was Puyi and his two wives. We asked us to visit Jingyuan. At least he and I have had the title of a monarch and minister. We received someone's yellow jacket and made money by his signature. It is difficult to refuse this social engagement."

Xia Xiaoqing said: "You have a lot to do, what are you talking about? Yellow jacket, Puyi?"

"Yes, it's the one Puyi, the abbey Emperor Puyi, who was driven out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang."

Suddenly, Xia Xiaoqing's expression changed drastically and she became solemn and solemn: "Be good, isn't that Master Xuan Tong? The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, can I really pay homage to Emperor Long Live and the Imperial Concubine?"
