Chapter 6 Chang'an

Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us. Reading at Zero Point, don’t worry about whether it is reliable or not. At least Chen Zikun’s words gave Bill a glimmer of hope and his mood suddenly improved. The two talked about their old classmate George Howard.

"George went to the Marine Corps after graduating from Annapolis Naval Academy. He was born in the Marine Corps and did not let him be excluded, but was awesome. You know, the Marine Corps always had to find a professional army officer to teach them how to fight hahahaha, George is now a lieutenant colonel. He is the fastest promoted among classmates. Yes, Chen, what kind of military rank you are now must have already taken the general star."

Chen Zikun shrugged: "I'm afraid it's going to be bigger."

"Oh my God, can't it be a lieutenant general?" Bill widened his eyes in disbelief.

"In fact, it's Samsung General, I am in charge of China's military aviation," said Chen Zikun.

"Congratulations, my friend, it seems that I should really be transferred to China. This is God's arrangement. Can Emily open two more bottles of beer?" Bill said with a smile.

Chanders' family is not well-off, and his children are not enough for many bedrooms. Every day, Emily has to drive to Manhattan to work. She lives a very hard life. If she is transferred to Shanghai, China, which is no less than New York, the largest city in the Far East, which is no less than New York, is a good thing for their family.

On the third day, Chanders' family visited Chen Zikun's 15-bedroom house in Manhattan to make them amazed. The latest shiny Lincoln brand sedan in front of the door dwarfed the old 20s Ford in Chanders's family.

This meal was eaten by Zhongzong Chinese cuisine. Chen Zikun's wife cooked in the cooking. Bill's words said that her tongue was almost swallowed. The children licked the plates cleanly.

Chen Zikun said: "Emily drives between New Jersey and Manhattan every day. It's better to live in me. The children come to New York schools together than New Jersey."

Emily exclaimed, "Oh God, you are so good. How much rent should I pay you?"

Chen Zikun said in surprise: "Why shouldn't the rent be paid for me to see the house?"

Everyone laughed. The Chen family didn't live forever and rented it to Emily's family. It was a favor. Of course, the rent was still to be given. Thirty dollars a month was only symbolic. Chen Zikun also entrusted Emily to rent out the extra room and collect some money for the children to buy candy.

Chen Zikun has entrusted the Pacino family to operate the matter. It is estimated that the transfer order will be soon

Chanders and his wife were very grateful for Chen Zikun's generosity that night and did not go back to live in Manhattan with bright lights and wine.

To thank Chen Zikun Bill and Emily for discussing and deciding to invite them to dinner at a very high-end French restaurant on Fifth Avenue

During dinner, I met the female reporter of Time magazine Katherine Stanley, the time flies. The strong and brave female reporter on the hukou was already a capable and experienced media person. She has an outstanding temperament and is incomparable. She has a cute linen haired little loli next to her.

Unexpected encounters always make people surprise Chen Zikun invites Catherine and his daughter to have a meal together and talk about the laughter and joy of those days. Katherine is now the editor of the New York Times. Her husband died in a shipwreck five years ago. He is a single mother. His daughter is named Elizabeth and Yan'er.

Unconsciously talking about the situation in China, Japan repeatedly creates trouble in North China, supports the split of Mongolian King De, Chahar, Zhang Xueliang resigns, and goes to Shaanxi to suppress the Communist Party, Pingjin area, and is under the control of Feng Yuxiang's former subordinate Song Zheyuan, the Song army is in charge of the provocation of Japan, and is tolerant of North China, which has become a powder keg, and war may break out at any time.

Bill couldn't help but regret it. The 15th Army Regiment was stationed in Tianjin. If he was transferred there, wouldn't he jump into the fire pit? But now it's too late to regret it. I can only pray that I won't be transferred to Tianjin.

Suddenly, Catherine changed her tone and mentioned the Communist Party armed forces in northern Shaanxi. She said that an American journalist was her friend. She set out from Peking a few months ago and planned to interview the Soviet area and asked Chen Zikun to help.

"My influence is not that great. The Communist Party and the Kuomintang are mortal enemies. They don't listen to me." Chen Zikun said

But Catherine said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Chen Zikun said: "I know if there is any trouble, I will come forward."

Catherine said: "I will express my gratitude to you for this meal first."

Chen Zikun said: "But at least you have to tell me his name."

Katherine patted her forehead: "Sorry, so excited, his name is Edgar Snow, and he is an excellent journalist."

Since I met Catherine, there is no reason not to visit my nominal "adoptional father" Sean Stanley Stanley family is an American elite family. It has a deep influence in business and politics. Compared with the mafia family like the Pacino family, it is the difference between white and underworld.

Old Sean lives in a villa by the sea of ​​Changdao, alone and only one dog with him. He is very happy about Chen Zikun's visit and said that he will go to China again if he has the opportunity.

Chen Zikun asked him when he would go

"When I need me," Old Sean blinked and replied sly

...

Chen Zikun spent two months traveling around the United States with limited time, only a glimpse of the time, he could only take a plane to some special Chengshi to observe the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Capitol and Monuments in Washington, the Palm Beach in Miami, the Detroit auto factory, the Grand Canyon in Colorado, Yellowstone National Park, the ranch in Texas, the Chinatown and the Golden Gate Bridge construction site of San Francisco, of course, Chen Zikun's alma mater West Point is also indispensable.

This time, Chen Zikun went abroad to investigate the aviation industry in Europe and the United States, but the expenses were not public funds but money in his private wallet. It was so happy that the family traveled around the world. But the happy life was almost over. Nanjing urgently called Chen Zikun to return to China.

Before leaving, Chen Zikun gave his son the opportunity to choose. He returned to China and stayed in the United States to experience the word "training" instead of studying" is because Xiaobei is not a school material. He is proficient in everything.

Perhaps it was Aunt Liu Ting's words on the top floor of the Empire State Building that played a role. Xiaobei chose to stay in the United States.

Xiaobei and his parents shed tears and farewell to the silver DC-3 when they lifted off and left the 15-year-old boy will start his journey to the United States from now on

Even the most advanced Douglas airliner cannot carry out ultra-long-range flights across the vast Pacific Ocean, and can only return via the original route of West Asia in Europe.

It was already autumn when I returned to Shanghai. Chen Zikun rushed to Luoyang without stopping to meet Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. It was not because he came to Chen Zikun but because he was angry with Zhang Xueliang.

After the fall of Rehe, Zhang Xueliang left the field and went abroad for eight months to inspect the opium that had been drawn for many years. After returning to China, he served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Bandit Suppression, and led the old troops of the Northeast Army to encircle and suppress Shaanxi Communist Party and defeat repeatedly. The Northeast Army was influenced by the propaganda of the Communist Party. Zhang Xueliang actually advocated stop suppressing the Communist Party and resisting Japan.

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Han Qing is confused! The Communist Party is a big trouble to suppress the Communist Party. It has reached the critical moment of the last five minutes. How can you stop Kunwu? You have been with him for many years. This time, I must help me persuade him."

Chen Zikun said: "The Chairman plans to send me to Xi'an?"

Chiang Kai-shek said: "It depends on the situation. If Han Qing is lost and knows that he will return this trip, you won't have to bother you."

A few days later, news came from Shanghai that the National Salvation Federation Chen Junru, Zou Taofen, Zhang Naiqi and seven others were arrested for inciting the market to strike and anti-party. They caused a rebound in public opinion.

Zhang Xueliang flew from Xi'an to Luoyang to meet Chiang Kai-shek and asked for the release of the seven gentlemen. He was rejected and said that the situation in Xi'an was critical and the troops were unstable. He asked the chairman to go and sit in the forum to speak out. Chiang Kai-shek did not comment. Instead, he asked Chen Zikun to enlighten Zhang Xueliang.

In a few years, Zhang Xueliang has become thinner and thin, with a beard, still wearing the blue and gray tweed of the Northeast Army. He is armed with a lace and full of fatigue and vicissitudes. He has no sense of the warlord young mentor's clothes and a rage.

Zhang Xueliang knew that Chen Zikun was the Xiaoyao faction in the Military Commission, and the two of them had been together for many years and were able to speak freely.

"My brother Kunwu, my brothers, I have something to say. Is it useful for the Central Army to suppress the Communist Party for nine years? Even with the power of fighting against the rabbit, we cannot destroy the Communist Party of China. How can we do this in the Northeast Army? The Sixty-Seventh Army under my command fights with the Red Army and is captured. Thousands of weapons are handed over. The people are released. What do you say that you are unwilling to fight again. The Communist Party advocates stopping the civil war and resisting Japan. I agree with Japan. The four northeastern provinces attempt to get involved in the ambition of North China. Everyone knows that Chairman Chiang still speaks about suppressing the Communist Party. Is it even greater than that of the Japanese?

Zhang Xueliang became more angry and indignant as he spoke. He fell a tea bowl on the spot.

Chen Zikun said: "Hanqing, you have great soldiers, can you be Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan?"

Zhang Xueliang was stunned for a moment and didn't expect Chen Zikun to say this: "Brother Kunwu regrets it. I lost the territory left by the old coach. I took the troops to the northwest to suppress the Communist Party. We are a guest army. Fortunately, Yang Hucheng and I got along well. If I wanted to occupy the northwest, let alone Lao Yang would not agree, even my subordinates would not agree. Our home is on the Songhua River."

Chen Zikun said: "Hanqing, I support you, I need me to help you. Just speak up."

Zhang Xueliang sighed and said, "Thank you, I am now discouraged, but I hope the Chairman can come to Xi'an to give us Northeast Army soldiers a lecture to appease the morale of the army."
