However, after walking around, Mrs. Lin and Mei Wanjun were not found.
gone?
Oh, that's okay.
It's because they don't wait for me. They are impatient.
Tonight has not passed yet. Really...
Suddenly, I heard the roar of an engine coming from the canal to the south.
Huh?
what's the situation?
Subsequently, anomalies appeared at the edge of the map.
There are a lot of densely packed white spots. All of them carry weapons marks.
Yes, this is the army!
There is no one else except the army.
frown.
Who is coming?
This posture seems a bit big!
Could it be Japanese invaders?
Probably not...
The July 7th Incident has not yet broken out.
It must be the national army.
The question is, which part of the national army is it?
In the middle of the night, a large group of people suddenly arrived in Yangzhou. What happened?
Still came by boat.
They seemed to be small steamers. There were as many as five of them. Each one could hold about a hundred people.
At this time, Chen Shutong was also alarmed.
His gunboat was also anchored near the canal.
Although the situation has changed a bit and time has been lost, it's okay.
Anyway, the National Navy has nothing important to do at the moment. The two gunboats under his command can fully cooperate with Zhang Yong.
This move made Zhang Yong a little embarrassed and regretful.
The strength of the national navy is really too weak.
Although it has the name of a navy, it actually does not even have a real warship.
The main force is various gunboats. The largest displacement may be less than 300 tons.
The lightest destroyers of the Japanese invaders had a displacement of more than 1,200 tons, not to mention cruisers and battleships.
The Yamato Hotel has a displacement of 70,000 tons, equivalent to three hundred gunboats.
Gunboats can only operate on inland rivers. Going out to the Yangtze River Estuary is the limit. It is impossible to go out to sea. If a big wave comes over, it will capsize.
Can I buy some battleships?
The idea is good, but the reality is very skinny.
The warships sold by the great powers are all very old models and very backward.
It's an old thing from at least twenty years ago.
Most of them were from thirty years ago.
However, it's better than nothing.
The problem is, it's very expensive.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even an expired warship is very expensive.
Without hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can't even buy a destroyer.
And for hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can buy dozens of airplanes.
From a cost-effective perspective, it is definitely cost-effective to give priority to the construction of the air force. Therefore, the route of giving priority to the development of the air force is correct.
World War II would quickly prove that air superiority was more important than sea superiority.
Air supremacy can threaten sea supremacy, but sea supremacy cannot do anything with air supremacy.
It's just that the navy has been ignored. It's a tragedy.
Destroyers are not practical. It would be good to have some mines.
Mines are actually really powerful weapons, especially when used on defense. They are enough to give the Japanese invaders a headache.
I wonder if Italy has mines? Get some...
have a bee in one's bonnet……
Suddenly I saw a familiar figure.
There is a small steamer right in front.
faint!
It’s actually Li Boqi!
No way? It’s actually him? He’s actually here?
Well……
What was Li Boqi doing here in the middle of the night?
He didn't stay well at the Ji'e Lane headquarters. He came to Yangzhou without even saying hello in advance. He also brought so many people with him...
It seems like both Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi are here? Long time no see.
Then I realized something was wrong...
Li Boqi brought not many people. Only about twenty people.
Around Li Boqi, there were more heavily armed Nationalist soldiers. There were a lot of them. The small steamers behind were all Nationalist soldiers.
German style helmet...
All flower traps...
Or the Mauser 98K rifle...
Or a shell gun...
The yellow-green military uniform indicates that he is a direct descendant of Huangpu...
this……
Which big boss is here?
For a moment, Zhang Yong was a little nervous. He couldn't figure out the situation at all!
But it seems that they are not here to arrest themselves. The reason is very simple. If they are here to arrest themselves, they cannot mobilize troops like this!
As it was now, he had already run away and disappeared without a trace.
Something is wrong. Very wrong...
Turning to look at Chen Shutong, he asked in a low voice: "Counsel Chen, what's going on?"
"I don't know either." Chen Shutong said slowly, "No one told me. It must be for you. Only you have such dignity."
"Are you complimenting me?"
"Anyway, it's not for me. I definitely don't have that much face."
"Did someone complain?"
"who?"
"It's from the party affairs side."
"Probably not?"
Chen Shutong was not sure either.
Zhang Yong is a guy with many tricks and abilities. However, he also has enemies everywhere.
It is estimated that those who want to kill Zhang Yong can line up from Yangzhou to Jinling and then make two more turns.
"never mind."
Zhang Yong was too lazy to think about it.
The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. There is nothing to be afraid of.
If you can't beat me, just run away!
When it comes to escaping, he still has some experience...
Suddenly, his eyes flashed.
I saw a big boss on the second small steamer.
Wearing the military uniform of a direct descendant of Huangpu. The collar badge is inlaid with two golden three-pointed stars.
Well……
He is indeed a boss!
I just don’t know, who is this boss?
do not know……
Chen Shutong: "It's Director He."
Zhang Yong: "Who?"
"He Guoguang."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was surprised. Really.
It's actually He Guoguang? Director of the Chongqing trip?
Wow!
This one is really a boss.
As famous as Yang Yongtai, but better at doing things than Yang Yongtai.
He Guoguang's greatest achievement seemed to be the formation of the Sichuan Army. This laid the foundation for the Sichuan Army to come out of Sichuan to fight against Japan in the future.
but……
I can't figure it out.
He is the camp director in Chongqing!
Why did you come to Yangzhou? This thing is thousands of miles away...
"What is he here for?"
"Not sure."
Zhang Yong answered honestly.
I thought to myself, how do I know what He Guoguang is doing here?
There's nothing like that...
He even got into trouble with Li Boqi.
Really...
It's not peaceful in the middle of the night.
Oh, it's early morning now. The morning light is already showing on the horizon.
Composition by primary school students: The sky turns white. A new day begins again. Today is another beautiful day...
There is nothing I can do. I have to wait patiently.
Finally, the first small steamer docked at the pier.
Zhang Yong calmed down.
Stand still.
Zhong Yang jumped off the boat first and quickly came to Zhang Yong's side.
stand at attention.
salute.
"Team leader."
"what happened?"
"Good thing."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong's eyes flashed.
Good thing?
Then don't worry.
But I can't think of any good things.
"Team leader, the webmaster wants to see you."
"good."
Zhang Yong came to Li Boqi.
Stand properly and appear as low-key as possible.
Be prepared to be scolded first.
"Team leader."
No matter how Li Boqi was promoted, he was always called team leader.
Because when he joined the Fuxing Society Secret Service, Li Boqi was the team leader. This title is unique.
Li Boqi's face was indifferent, "You made such a big noise."
"We just captured a few Japanese invaders." Zhang Yong said in a low voice, "What is Director He doing here?"
"Awards."
"Huh? What award will you give?"
"you guess?"
Li Boqi said coldly.
Zhang Yong scratched the back of his head. I guess? Take a guess!
I'm not Sherlock Holmes!
"Can't guess."
"Patriotic aviation movement. Who proposed it? Very clever."
"real?"
Zhang Yong was immediately overjoyed.
Is Li Boqi praising himself?
By the way, this guy who keeps a straight face all day long actually knows how to praise people?
I thought this guy only hit people every day!
Ah, frankly speaking, it feels so good to be praised...
But wait!
What did you just say? Who suggested it?
I need a proposal?
I am talented, a talented boy...
I came up with this myself, okay?
but……
never mind.
Let's give the credit to others.
It is not good to act too smart. If you are too smart, no one will like you.
Everyone is wary of you...
"Director He came here just for the patriotic aviation movement."
"What are you doing here?"
"Carry forward."
"Isn't he in Sichuan?"
"He just happened to return to Jinling to report on his work. When he learned about this, he volunteered and came here overnight..."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong understood.
Damn it, Director He is also a human being!
I immediately sensed the opportunity behind this matter.
This is not something that happens in Yangzhou alone. This needs to be promoted nationwide. It needs to be launched across the country.
Yangzhou is an example, a benchmark, and a reference.
With Yangzhou as a model, it will be much easier to promote it nationwide.
The key is, there is a lot of oil and water in it.
There are many opportunities.
"The committee has heard about this. I am very happy."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong said in his heart, are the committee members finally happy?
I heard that he was very angry every time before. Angry every day. Angry several times a day...
It's rare to be happy once or twice. Haha.
"So, a telegram was sent to Virgo. Virgo sent a telegram and called me here."
"Well……"
"The Virtue has given special instructions to promote you to the rank of major. A Patriotic Aviation Movement Office will be established at the Jige Lane headquarters. He will personally serve as the director of the office. You will serve as the deputy director."
"Me? Deputy Director?"
Zhang Yong suddenly felt that this world might really be a grassroots team?
I haven't held the title of team leader for more than a year. Now I have the title of deputy director? Wait. I'm only twenty years old!
Others call me the director? The head teacher is not that young, right...
However, I have to say that Virgo’s nose is also that of a dog. What a spirit!
Smelled an opportunity.
Act decisively and never fall behind.
"It's really good to be able to please my wife while also being able to handle everything." Li Boqi continued.
Zhang Yong felt that the other party might be mocking him, but there was no evidence.
What is the upper and lower hand? That is oil and water...
In fact, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big stir. It was really off the charts.
However, what Li Boqi said is correct.
This is really a big piece of fat! Everyone has a share! It’s both face-saving and valuable!
Sports. Donation. Money. Air Force. Madam…
A bunch of keywords.
Yangzhou alone donated 1.6 million yuan.
What about other places? It’s worth it no matter what. How many were collected in the end?
There is definitely no accurate data.
Because all donations are in vain in the end.
Get some from this layer.
Get some from that layer.
In the end, maybe less than a third was left.
Even Chiang Kai-shek has no ability to change this.
Fruit party characteristics. It’s hopeless.
In short, according to Zhang Yong's estimate, if 10 million yuan is raised and 3 million yuan is finally delivered to the Aviation Committee, it would be good.
Don't be surprised.
This is customary.
Without the 7 million in the middle, who would be so active?
For example, Director He came over overnight...
"What are you doing here, Director He?"
"Said. Award."
"What prize?"
"You'll know when you go see him."
"oh."
Zhang Yong was stunned.
At this time, someone came over.
He is a major officer. His military uniform is straight and he is very energetic.
"Zhang Yong. Director He wants to see you."
"yes."
Zhang Yong agreed.
Get off the boat. Get on the boat.
Director He is on the small steamer at the back. He hasn't landed yet.
It happened that at this time, a yellow dot appeared on the edge of the map. Judging from the direction of arrival, it was probably Lu Huang. But it was impossible to be sure.
Strange, what was Lu Huang doing here? Did he learn that the national army was coming and came to investigate?
Get on board.
Came to Director He.
Stand at attention and salute properly.
"Director He."
"Zhang Shaolong, not bad. Young and promising."
"Thank you, director, for the compliment."
"Don't belittle yourself. You are the only one who can make me come from Jinling overnight."
"The director was so complimentary."
Zhang Yong secretly increased his vigilance and warned himself not to lose his head.
These big guys always talk in the same way. It sounds very nice. It's like taking Ecstasy. If you're not careful, you might be betrayed by him.
Also, if others hear these words, they will also be jealous of themselves.
Maybe someone will cause trouble...
He quietly turned around and saw Lu Huang in the distance. It was indeed him. He was really here to investigate the situation.
"Zhang Yong listens to the order."
"yes."
"I was entrusted by the commissioner and his wife to issue a certificate of appointment to you."
"Serve the party and the country."
Zhang Yong Zhang Yong did not dare to shout too loudly.
Lu Huang is actually nearby. If he hears it, it will be a big deal.
"First, the letter of appointment from the Aviation Commission."
"Willing to serve the party and the country..."
"The Aviation Commission appoints you as Inspector General of the Inspectorate."
"Willing to serve the party and the country..."
"Zhang Shaolong, this inspector is not simple!"
"Director He, I have little talent and knowledge, so I'm afraid I can't take on such an important responsibility!"
"Inspector. He has the power of supervision. Anyone who commits corruption and bends the law will fall within the scope of inspection."
"For the party and the country..."
Zhang Yong's mechanical answer.
I thought to myself, I believe you are a fool. You tricked me.
Inspector?
Who do you dare to supervise?
Who can be inspected?
That is to say, bullying the little guy.
Anyone with some background cannot be inspected. Whoever goes to inspect will die.
The eldest son hunted tigers in Shanghai, but in the end he couldn't defeat them.
I am a small inspector, and I am still affiliated with the Aviation Commission.
Who can I supervise?
Who can I supervise?
If the eldest son fails, there is still a way out. If I fail...
"This is the second appointment letter."
"yes."
"The Military and Political Commission appointed you as the Inspector of the Inspectorate."
"Um?"
Zhang Yong was a little surprised.
Another Ombudsman? Two? What’s the difference?
Oh, one is from the Aviation Committee and the other is from the Military and Political Committee. It seems that the latter is under the command of Chiang Kai-shek himself...
The Chairman is the Chairman of the Military and Political Committee...
but……
Make knitting!
How did you get yourself to the inspector?
Who is being inspected?
If there are so many inspectors within the party, no one has been inspected. On the contrary, the inspectors themselves are the biggest ones who should be inspected...
etc.
Zhang Yong suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and thought of something good.
Of course, it is impossible for an inspector to supervise others. However, others dare not supervise themselves!
It's like an inspection team. It doesn't matter whether you go to inspect others or not. The most important thing is that no one comes to inspect you! You can do whatever you want. If anyone is dissatisfied, inspect him immediately!
Yes. That's it.
If anyone has any objections to himself, supervise him immediately!
Directly inspect the inspector and go to the Army No. 1 Prison. Let him reflect and reflect inside...
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
It’s literally like mice got into the barn…
Bah bah bah!
What can I say? Am I that kind of person?
I am the inspector! Be careful, I will inspect you immediately!
The heart is full of joy.
Thinking of the drug smuggling business...
I thought of robbing others of their cigarettes...
etc!
It seems that the Chen brothers are involved in party affairs?
Is Wang Zhaoming also from the party affairs side?
I am from the Inspectorate Office of the Military and Political Commission. I think I can supervise how many of them?
What Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo, Gu Zhutong...
Theoretically, everything is within the scope of inspection?
