He slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that caught Su Tong's eyes was Xia Yuxin's exquisite and stunning facial features. His thin breath gently hit Chief Su's face, and his beautiful big eyes were still closed. She looked up, her long eyelashes trembling slightly from time to time. Look behind her, the little nurse and Yulia, leaning on each other and sleeping soundly.
She raised her arm slightly, and when she was about to take her hand out from under Chief Xia's head, the beautiful woman who was still sleeping seemed to feel something, and her jade arms wrapped around Chief Su's neck tightened. Half asleep, she muttered, "Why don't you sleep with me for a while?" After saying that, she twisted her body a few times to make herself sleep more comfortable, and then she fell asleep again.
Su Tong smiled bitterly. It seems that he won't be able to go to the office this morning, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't go. It's rare to be lazy. Anyway, Xi Hangan is watching over the government affairs, and Jiang Baili is watching over the military affairs. Let them handle anything. Just like that, Chief Su, who found himself an excuse to be lazy, hugged the beauty in his arms and fell asleep again after a while.
A certain person fell asleep again with his wife in his arms, but this morning the telegrams sent from the telegraph office in Zhangjiakou to all parts of the country alarmed many important people.
Tianjin National Revolutionary Army 38th Division Headquarters
Zhang Zizhongzheng, commander of the 38th Division who had been separated from Su Tongyi for nearly two years, Huang Weigang, commander of the 112th Brigade, and Tong Zeguang, commander of the 113th Brigade, discussed the recent provocation of the North China garrison to the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division without authorization , suddenly the communications staff officer in the confidential room hurried in and handed a telegram to Zhang Zizhong.
After Zhang Zizhong took the telegram and read it, a rare smile appeared on his always serious face with Chinese characters. Huang Weigang and Tong Zeguang looked at each other and couldn't help but become curious. They were both old people who had followed Zhang Zizhong for many years, and they knew that they This old chief rarely shows such a happy smile on weekdays.
Tong Zeguang asked tentatively: "Master, what does the message say? Why are you so happy when you see the message?"
Zhang Zizhong smiled and handed the message to Huang Weigang beside him, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my sworn brother is getting married, and he wants to invite me to the wedding banquet."
"Who is my sworn brother? You are so proud, and I invite you to a wedding banquet." Tong Zeguang couldn't react at the moment and asked hesitantly.
"You, your reaction is really slow. How many sworn brothers can you have in Master? Of course he is the one who became sworn brothers two years ago." Huang Weigang, who had just read the telegram, said with a disdainful curl of his lips towards Tong Zeguang.
"Who is that Northwest King Su Tong Su Jianming?" Tong Zeguang exclaimed in surprise: "He is also getting married."
Zhang Zizhong glared at Tong Zeguang angrily and said: "Zeguang, what are you talking about? Why can't my little brother get married? If we do, he should be a bachelor for the rest of his life."
Huang Weigang, who was beside him, also gloated and said, "That's right, Lao Tong, you are not kind. Why can't you marry me? What kind of logic is this?"
"No, I'm not surprised," Tong Zeguangzi explained anxiously, "If the northwest king really gets married, the scene will be very lively."
The King of the Northwest is the name people have recently given to Su Tong, the leader of the largest warlord in the country who has 700,000 troops in the northwest. However, there is no sense of contempt in it. It is just people's respect for this man who dared to challenge Soviet Russia. The honorific title given to the iron-blooded general who fought fiercely and clamored to regain the lost territory.
"King of the Northwest, hey, this little brother of mine is really amazing." Zhang Zizhong murmured.
"Master, are you going to attend Commander Su's wedding?" Tong Zeguang asked tentatively.
"Why don't you go? Of course you have to go." Zhang Zizhong glared at him. "My little brother has no relatives and no one to rely on. It's his day of great joy. If I, the eldest brother, don't go, I will be scolded in the spine."
For a lifetime"
"Well, it's time to go. Commander Su treats our 38th Division well. If it weren't for the batch of firearms and ammunition he gave us two years ago, our 38th Division wouldn't have the confidence to follow now.
Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the North China Garrison Army, this old devil is challenging me." Huang Weigang also said in agreement.
The last time Zhang Zizhong was ordered to evacuate Chahar two years ago, Su Tong gave Zhang Zizhong a large number of weapons and ammunition, including 6,000 Mauser 98k rifles, 100 Maxim heavy machine guns, and Czech light machine guns.
Three hundred guns, three million rounds of ammunition, sixty 60-caliber mortars, thirty 80-caliber mortars, twenty-four 75-caliber mountain guns, and one thousand rounds of artillery shells each.
It was precisely because of this batch of weapons and ammunition that the 38th Division was able to quickly establish a foothold in Tianjin. It also replenished the establishment that was understaffed in previous years due to lack of guns and ammunition. The number of troops also increased from more than 8,000.
The number of people quickly expanded to more than 12,000.
Just when Zhang Zizhong and his men were discussing which means of transportation would be faster and more convenient to reach Chahar, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the National Congress Party who was far away in Nanjing, also received an invitation from Chief Su to get married.
"Mother Xipi, this Su Tong really doesn't make people worry." Chairman Jiang looked out the window, gently tapped the table with his hand, and muttered to himself, and there was a table in front of him.
Holding a message from Chahar that had just arrived from the confidential room.
A burst of laughter came from beside her. Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting next to the chairman of the committee, rolled her eyes at her husband and said: "Darling, look at what you said, why is it that Su Tong doesn't let people worry about getting married?
If you cause trouble, you should become a monk if you co-author it."
The chairman came to his senses and said with a smile: "Madam, that's not what I meant. What I meant was whether we should go to Su Tong's wedding, and if we go, what gifts should we give?"
"Well, that's right." The surname of Mrs. Jiang's woman was mentioned by the Chairman, "Yes, there will definitely be a lot of people attending the wedding. There will be celebrities from all walks of life in the country. We should send
What kind of gift would be good, and what clothes should I wear to attend this occasion?" As she spoke, Mrs. Jiang's topic actually deviated to her own clothes.
Chairman Chiang shook his head with a wry smile, and thought about what was on his mind again. This Su Tong is getting stronger and stronger now. It is not impossible for him to take over Nanjing with his current strength. But according to the news from various sources, he
But he just immersed himself in low-key development. He would rather fight with the Soviets for food than send a single soldier to the Central Plains. He is really an unpredictable person. Well, he should go there.
Chahar, I want to see for myself what this formerly remote and desolate place has become like now.
Guilin Governor's Official Residence, Guangxi
Li Zhongren took the telegram invitation and asked Bai Chongxi next to him with a smile, "Jiansheng, who of us will go to Chahar to attend the wedding of our little fellow this time?"
"Let me go. Anyway, I have long wanted to see the true face of Chahar in Lushan. Let's see why our little fellow dares to challenge the Soviet Union and drive away Stalin's 300,000-strong army."
We went to Mongolia to build a railway." Bai Chongxi said with a smile.
"Jiansheng, you are not very kind. I want to go to Chahar too." Li Zongren smiled.
"Since Mr. De, you also want to go, then let's go together." Bai Chongxi said nonchalantly, "Didn't he say it in the message? Let us tell him the date. He will send a plane to pick us up, and there will also be fighter planes to escort us."
.This salary is not low, it is even comparable to that of the Chairman." At the end of the sentence, Bai Chongxi had a look of envy in his eyes.
"Haha, Jiansheng, why do I smell a sour smell? This is not like you who are usually generous."
Bai Chongxi ignored Li Zongren's teasing, smiled bitterly, and said with some melancholy: "I really envy him. Look at him, what he does is what a soldier should do. Command an army of 300,000 people and march to Siberia.
, regaining the lost territory, if he really succeeds in sealing Lang Juxu, then his name Su Tong will be comparable to figures like Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Chen Tang in future history books."
"Yes, sealing the wolf as a Xu is the highest compliment for a soldier." Li Zongren looked a little dazed for a moment and murmured, and then suddenly laughed: "Now I suddenly envy this guy Bai Yingchao.
, I think when he set out from our Guangxi province, he only had a regiment of thousand-gun soldiers, and he was holding an old sleeve, made in Hanyang, but now he is commanding the only two armored divisions in the country. It is said that this
There are very few experimental troops in the world now. Only Germany and the Soviet Union have so many experimental troops. Besides, I heard that Bai Yingchao was very brave when he fought Lao Maozi last time, but he was defeated.
The majesty of our Bagui children."
Chengdu, Sichuan
Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Pan Wenhua and other warlord leaders of all sizes gathered together for a rare occasion, and the content of their discussion was actually to discuss who would be in charge of Sichuan after they went to Chahar.
Regarding defense issues, this can be regarded as a first for Sichuan.
"Mr. Yu Xian, what do you think we should do to join in the fun at Su Tong's wedding? Is it worth such a big fight?" Pan Wenhua asked Liu Xiang with some dissatisfaction.
"What do you know?" Liu Xiang said unhappily: "Even Chairman Chiang and his wife are going to attend this time. Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi from Guangxi, Long Yun from Yunnan, Zhou Xicheng from Guizhou and others will all go there in person.
How could we not go?”
"Yes." Liu Wenhui touched his head and said with a smile, "This Su Tong actually married three guests in one marriage. What a terrible future."
Yang Sen smiled and said to Liu Wenhui: "What about you? Don't you have several concubines?"
"Rival, rival, it seems that he and I are kindred spirits, hahaha."
For a time, the chaotic situation in the country became unusually calm because of a wedding, which people can't help but marvel at.
