The twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China, September 1, 1939 AD, at about 10 o'clock in the morning
On the blue sea, a fleet of ships is sailing toward Guangzhou in a mighty manner. The stars and stripes on the ship are fluttering in the sea breeze. The leading ship is a large cargo ship of more than 6,000 tons, the West.
, this is a new type of cargo ship that has just been launched, and behind it are five other models of cargo ships.
A third officer in a blue sailor uniform ran into the cockpit and reported to a middle-aged man in his forties with three yellow stripes embroidered on his clothes: "Captain Robert, Guangzhou has arrived. It is expected to arrive in 2
We will arrive at the port in ten minutes!”
The blond, blue-eyed, middle-aged captain turned back and said: "Very good, tell the boys on the boat to cheer up and be careful when entering the port. Don't bump into each other. I just bought this."
New ship, especially tell this bastard Amadeus that he has to throw the rope accurately later. If he throws the rope into the sea like last time, I will let him hang upside down on the mast and go back to New York, do you understand?"
"Yes Captain!"
The third officer felt shocked, quickly responded loudly and ran away.
"woo woo woo woo……"
The dull and high-pitched whistle sounded over the port outside Humen, Guangzhou, as if heralding the beginning of a new day.
Su Rui and Liang Zhi were standing on the pier of the port, accompanied by a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a black Chinese tunic suit. Behind them, Huang Guhan, Lei Shaoya and a group of officers stood behind them.
, quietly watching the freighter approaching in the distance.
This middle-aged man wearing a black Chinese tunic suit had a face with Chinese characters, and a hint of warmth flashed in his wise eyes. He said to Su Rui in a joking tone: "Brother Zhongxin, we had a farewell last time in Nanjing.
At that time, you were just a minor major, but two years later, you are already the youngest second-level general among our army. Even an old man like me has to admire the speed of your promotion!"
Su Rui smiled softly: "Thank you, Sir Luo. I was just lucky enough to become the commander of this group army. How can it be compared to you who stepped forward step by step and made it more practical."
It turned out that the middle-aged man standing next to Su Rui was Luo Zhuoying, the new governor of Guangdong Province sent by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. After receiving Su Rui's request for a provincial governor from the central government, he was worried that he would not be able to deploy people in Guangdong.
Chairman Chiang was overjoyed and immediately sent his closest confidants to Guangdong at an unprecedented speed.
Of course. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek does not ask Luo Zhuoying to control the situation in Guangdong, but being able to insert one of his own people into the civil service system in Guangdong is also a victory. What's more, this is someone else's request. It would be wrong if he didn't send one.
Silly. However, Chairman Chiang also saw a weakness of Su Rui from here, that is, although Su Rui is very powerful militarily, he is his shortcoming politically. The ultimate reason is his background.
It is not enough, and the talent pool under his command is not enough, otherwise he would not have been given the position of governor of Guangdong Province in vain.
After seeing this, Chairman Chiang's fear of Su Rui became weaker. From this point of view, at least he cannot threaten his position in the short term, as long as he does not threaten the chair under his butt.
It doesn't matter, everything else can be discussed.
Luo Zhuoying arrived in Guangzhou just two days ago. As soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, he was welcomed by Su Rui. He, who had long been troubled by all kinds of big and small things, was as happy as seeing Luo Zhuoying's arrival.
When he arrived at the Savior, he handed over all the official duties to Luo Zhuoying and returned to his army headquarters. Luo Zhuoying, who originally thought it would be good to gain power from Su Rui, was surprised.
Today is the arrival of the first batch of U.S. aid supplies to China after the recapture of Guangzhou. The significance is extraordinary, so Su Rui specially called Luo Zhuoying and others to the dock to prepare to welcome these ships.
Now after hearing Su Rui's name for herself, Luo Zhuoying couldn't help but smile and said: "Commander Su, you are now a dignified *** second-level general. Your rank is equivalent to mine. It would be inappropriate to call me "sir" again.
Well, if you don’t mind it, then you and I should still treat each other as brothers.”
Su Rui thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay then, I've gone overboard since then."
Luo Zhuoying nodded slightly: "That's right, otherwise Brother Yu wouldn't know how to get along with you."
Officialdom has its own rules. Although Luo Zhuoying is more than ten years older than Su Rui, and although Luo Zhuoying was the deputy commander of Nanjing Garrison Lieutenant General when Su Rui was just a minor logistics major, now Su Rui is just like him.
As a second-level general of the Communist Party of China, he has the qualification to speak as an equal to Luo Zhuoying. If Su Rui still calls each officer one after another, it will not only make Luo Zhuoying feel uncomfortable, but also make his subordinates feel uncomfortable in other countries.
* His head lowered in front of him. What would others think? Is the Seventh Army a stepmother?
Therefore, Su Rui just said it casually. Luo Zhuoying was naturally not so ignorant and refused immediately. Su Rui also smiled downhill and said: "Since the officer said so, then I will do it from now on."
Let me call you Brother Youqing!”
"That's right." Luo Zhuoying patted Su Rui on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Then I'll call you my loyal brother."
Su Rui nodded: "That's a good feeling. Even calling it like this seems kind."
Su Rui and Luo Zhuoying were talking happily at the front, but it made a young officer behind them feel a little unhappy.
This officer is about 26 or 27 years old, with the rank of major. He is tall and burly, with a very handsome appearance. He is wearing the unique Army Zhongshan style military uniform of the Central Army. He has a bright armed belt with a Browning pistol.
He looked very heroic, but when he heard Su Rui and Luo Zhuoying in front of him calling themselves brothers, his face became a little sad, and he murmured softly: "Huh, what's so great about it, how dare you call Chief Luo a brother."
, and I don’t even urinate to show how much I weigh.”
The officer's voice was very soft, and few people around him heard it, but by chance, Huang Guhan and Lei Shaoya, who were standing in front of him, heard him.
Huang Guhan was nothing. He was already past the age of impulsiveness when he was in his thirties, and with so many officers here today, it was naturally inconvenient for him as a major general to speak. So after hearing this, he just frowned slightly, but did not
What to say. But Lei Shaoya next to him couldn't listen anymore. The army is a place that pays great attention to tradition and qualifications. In the army, qualifications are also a kind of capital. Su Rui is young and with less than thirty
Being promoted to the youngest general in the country at such a young age will make many people jealous. But the army is also a hierarchical group. In the army, military rank and position mean everything. You don’t have to like your superiors.
, but you must respect him, not only for the military as a group, but also for the military rank on your own shoulders.
It is true that there are many direct officers of the Central Army who came from Huangpu who do not like Su Rui, a general who came from a wild way, but on the surface everyone must give him enough face, because this is the rule in the army, you don't have to like him,
But you must respect him, but what the major said just now has clearly gone beyond that.
Although Lei Shaoya was the spy assigned to the Seventh Group Army by the military commander, she was also a soldier, a soldier who respected traditions and rules. She turned back sharply, glared at the major's face with a fierce look, and pressed her low
The voice shouted: "Bai Kaixin, shut up. If I hear you say such words again, I don't mind letting you know what it means to respect your superior!"
Seeing Lei Shaoya's reproachful gaze, Bai Kaixin's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered: "Sir Lei, I... I'm just a little unhappy. It's not disrespectful to the officer."
After hearing Lei Shaoya's words, Huang Guyan turned his head and glanced at him lightly. The unkindness in his eyes was so strong that Bai Kaixin's back was covered with white sweat. For Huang Guyhan,
For a traditional soldier, those who do not know how to respect their superiors but instead act behind the scenes are the most abhorrent. Huang Guhan said softly when he saw Bai Kaixin's heart trembled.
"No matter what happens to Commander Su, he is a general personally appointed by the Central Committee. It is not for you, a little major, to criticize. If you have the ability, you can go up to the front and say brother-in-law with Commander Luo. I will never stop you.
."
"I……"
Bai Kaixin kept silent for a while and was speechless for a while, then he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Huang Guyan just snorted and turned his head, but secretly sighed in his heart that Commander Luo also made a mistake and brought such an outspoken guy to Guangzhou to take office. If this guy would be so outspoken next time
, and when people from the Seventh Army heard about it, he might have been put into a sack and sunk into the Huangpu River at some point.
"Woooooooo..."
Three more high-pitched whistles sounded in front of the port. Six warships flying the American flag slowly sailed towards the port. But at this time, a shocking scene appeared on the dock. At this time, a ship appeared from far away.
Three warships came quickly. They rushed towards the six approaching warships at a speed of more than 20 knots. One of them was leading the way, and the two pilots who were guarding both sides at the same time joined the six ships.
The American cargo ship sailed to the dock together. This sudden scene suddenly shocked everyone, but what was even more surprising was that the three destroyers were flying the bright blue sky and white sun flag.
These surprised people also included Luo Zhuoying, the newly appointed governor of Guangdong Province. He pointed to the warship in front of him in surprise and stammered to Su Rui: "Brother Zhongxin, you...how do you have a warship?"
?”
Su Rui smiled softly, with a glimmer of pride in his eyes and said slowly: "Brother You Qing laughed, these three destroyers are the Japanese destroyers that I captured a few days ago, and they came here specially to support the scene today.
!”
