When people got back together and got on the bus back to the city, everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
Everyone lost interest in talking. Mrs. Chiang leaned against her husband, holding a handkerchief in her hand, her eyes still red. After a long time, the Chairman sighed softly and said to himself: "With this method,
With such a method, no wonder both the officers who graduated from Huangpu and Baoding and the soldiers followed him so wholeheartedly and died for the country, so why not die."
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside. Li Zongren said with emotion: "Jiansheng, our generation has been fighting life and death in China all our lives, but now that I think about it, it is so boring, so boring.
."
Bai Chongxi smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, I'm really envious of those officer students who just left the military academy. They didn't have to think about anything after leaving the school, they just wanted to kill the enemy for the country. They were so happy after death.
As a soldier, what else can I ask for to receive this honor?"
"Jianming, in my opinion, is not very interested in domestic disputes. Otherwise, given their strength, they would have such an idea."
"I'm afraid that the current position in Nanjing will be up for grabs," Bai Chongxi continued on his behalf.
After everyone entered the city, they looked at the busy traffic in the city. People who had never been to Zhangjiakou before were surprised. The changes here are changing rapidly, although it is not as old as Shanghai and Nanjing.
It's so developed, but the people here are very good mentally.
All the passers-by were in a hurry, and there were no beggars on the street. When asked why, the answer was: all the people here who are capable of working have gone to work, and those who are incapable of working will be properly accommodated. If
Those who are able to work but do not work and come out to beg will be forced to work. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to live here. Everyone was awe-struck after hearing this. They had a little understanding of Su Tong's iron-fisted methods.
This afternoon, in the lobby of the Provincial Government Building, celebrities from all walks of life and bigwigs from all over the country gathered. Reporters and media from all over the country took their seats early, waiting for the arrival of the rightful owner.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the rightful owner finally arrived. The Chairman and his wife arrived at the venue. Celebrities from all walks of life present applauded to express their welcome.
The chairman smiled and nodded to everyone. Xi Hanqian, the provincial political chairman who hosted the reception, looked at the time and said into the microphone: "Dear guests, distinguished guests, please keep quiet now. The press conference is about to start.
Journalists, please take your seats at the front, please maintain order, thank you all."
After saying that, Xi Hanqian first invited the chairman and his wife to sit on the rostrum, followed by the bosses from all parties. After a while, Su Tongcai hurried over and apologized to the bosses before sitting next to the chairman.
"Jianming, come on, take a seat." The chairman's tone was very friendly, and he called Su Tong to sit next to him.
Chief Su is not polite. With his current status, he is sitting in three provinces. He can be said to be the largest local power outside the central government in the country. Sitting next to the chairman of the committee is completely in line with his status.
matched.
"Everyone, everyone, I now announce that the press conference will begin now." Xi Hanqian, the chief steward of the three provinces, announced loudly.
"Now, reporters can start asking questions."
Looking at the dense crowd of heads below and the big bosses around him, Su Tong couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if it was a dream. He never thought that he would sit on the same stage with the most outstanding figures in China of this era, convening a meeting.
What about the press conference that attracted nationwide attention?
Looking at the crowd below, Su Tong seemed to feel that everything was so blurry and unreal, as if he was still in the old house in his hometown that had a bit of a damp smell after sleeping.
"Jianming, Jianming" a gentle call pulled Su Tong out of his trance.
"Ah, what's the matter?" Su Tong suddenly came to his senses. Looking back, it turned out that it was Jiang Baili next to him who noticed that he was distracted and was reminding her.
"Cheer up as the reception begins," Jiang Baili reminded in an angry and funny voice.
Su Tong smiled sheepishly and nodded to show that he understood.
"I am a reporter from Ta Kung Pao. I would like to ask General Su. During the March 28th victory two days ago, Chahar has never announced the cause of the air battle. I wonder if General Su can explain it here." At this time
, a middle-aged man stood up and asked.
After investigation, the Su Tongming Intelligence Bureau discovered the cause of this air battle. It was really a misunderstanding. The reason was that the Japanese aircraft happened to be coming to Chahar for reconnaissance. It was discovered by our own patrol aircraft and exchanged fire with Kaihua Temple, causing them to misunderstand.
I thought the Japanese were going to bomb the oil fields in Duolun, but later it escalated and turned into a major air battle.
But since I've been beaten, I certainly can't admit that it was caused by my own error in judgment. This is something I can't even admit to my death.
Chief Su coughed slightly before saying: "Well, as for the reason, everyone knows it. It is the Japanese army's attempt to peek into our territory and resources and bomb our oil fields and refineries. Our heroic aviation forces are not afraid of
A strong enemy rose up to resist despite a huge disparity in strength, and the enemy with superior strength fought to the death, and that was the only way to achieve that great victory."
"I protest." At this time, a thin man wearing glasses stood up and protested loudly: "I am a reporter from Chaoyue News. The air battle two days ago was entirely your responsibility. We were just doing it as an example.
We were conducting a normal patrol, but we were suddenly attacked by the Chahar air force, which caused heavy losses to the empire. General Su, you must bear full responsibility for this incident."
"Responsibility is still full responsibility." Chief Su pointed at himself and then at the Japanese reporter. Are you saying you want me to be responsible?
"Of course, as the highest military and political officer of Chahar, shouldn't you be responsible for this incident?" the reporter said confidently.
"Oh, that's right." Chief Su nodded, then his face changed, and he asked sternly: "Then can I think so, you are now officially representing the Japanese government and the Japanese military and are following me
Give me an ultimatum. If I say that I am irresponsible, Japan will be prepared to use force to retaliate. If so, I will order the troops to start implementing level one combat readiness."
"Of course not, I, I'm just here on behalf of an individual, come." The reporter from Chaoyue News was so anxious that his forehead began to sweat. How could he have any qualifications to question on behalf of the Japanese government or the Japanese military?
The other party. If the two sides start fighting again because of what he said, even ten of his heads won't be enough to chop him off.
"Since you are not qualified to represent the Japanese government and the military, then what are you talking about here? Why don't you just stay in the cool place." Chief Su waved his hand impatiently as if to ward off flies and told him to sit down.
"You, you" Well, this guy was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth and looked at the Chinese reporters around him who were glaring at him, and then he sat down unwillingly.
The surrounding bosses and people from all walks of life were secretly surprised when they saw this, thinking to themselves that according to the rumors, this Su Tong is a stupid general, which seems to be true. If he disagrees with him, he will be beaten and killed.
"General Su, I am a reporter from the French newspaper Le Parisien. I would like to ask you that the day after tomorrow will be the most important day in your life. And you have invited your political leader, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and senior officials from all over the country.
Everyone is here to attend your wedding. On this day worthy of celebration, how will you and the Chahar government under your leadership celebrate your wedding?"
"I think it's up to me to answer this question." At this time, Jiang Baili took the microphone and said: "The day after tomorrow, our government will hold a grand military parade in our newly built Heroes Square. At that time, we will invite friends from all walks of life.
Everyone comes to participate. This is also a way for us to express our determination to protect the territory of our motherland to friends from all walks of life."
The Chahar Government was going to hold a military parade. When they heard the news, the whole place was in a stir. The Chahar Government had blocked the news too tightly. No one present had received the news in advance. The Chahar Government had done a good job in keeping the secret
That's great. Even the Chairman's expression changed a little after hearing the news.
"Yes." At this time, Chief Su took over the topic with a smile: "This is also an event specially added temporarily by our Chahar local government and all the soldiers of the 37th Group Army to welcome Chairman Chiang and his wife. Originally,
It was to give everyone a surprise, but unexpectedly Chief of Staff Chiang leaked the military information in advance."
"Hahahaha" Hearing Su Tong making fun of Jiang Baili, the reporters and many celebrities from all walks of life in the audience laughed and applauded by the way.
There are also some people who are not smiling, such as the big guys on the stage and some people who think more deeply.
The big guys from all over the stage exchanged glances with each other, and while applauding, there was a meaningful look in their eyes.
A strange expression flashed across Chairman Chiang's face, but he soon returned to normal and clapped.
"General Su, I am a reporter from AFP. I want to ask you. I heard that you are going to marry three wives. Is that true?" A young and beautiful reporter with blond hair and blue eyes stood up and asked.
"Yes" Su Tong nodded.
"General Su, don't you think what you are doing is disrespectful to the female surname and immoral?" the beautiful female reporter asked angrily.
Damn, this guy is here to cause trouble. Seeing the bosses around him and some people in the audience looking at him with smiles, Chief Su secretly cursed in his heart.
But he still said with a smile: "We in China are like people who drink water and know whether they are warm or cold. My fiancées and I truly love each other, and they have also passed the test of time and life and death. We all feel that life is difficult without each other.
It makes no sense, is this young lady going to forcefully separate us?"
"You" the reporter lady was so angry that she couldn't speak. After listening to Chief Su's words, it seemed that she had become a bad person who beats mandarin ducks, a villain who specializes in breaking up other people's marriages.
Seeing that Su Tong made this beautiful reporter speechless, the male reporters secretly gave Su Tong a thumbs up and praised him for being such a man.
In fact, after the Marriage Service Law was promulgated on March 16, the ninth year of the Republic of China, polygamy was banned in the Republic of China. But which rich and powerful person would take him seriously? It’s just that this kind of thing can only be done.
As you said, now a man has openly jumped out and announced that he will marry three women at the same time in the name of love. How can we not let those men who are bored inside be better?
"Okay Jianming, let's not talk about this issue." Mrs. Jiang on the side saw Su Tong bullying a young reporter as a dignified general and couldn't help but give him a few words.
"Yes." Chief Su also knew the principle of giving up when something was good, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
The following press conference was a bit dull. After Chairman Chiang answered a few questions, the reception ended in a hurry.
Reporters were also rushing back to break the big news that Chahar was going to hold a military parade.
