New Year greetings are a traditional custom among Chinese people. It is a way for people to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, and to express their best wishes. As the president of a country, Chiang Kai-shek, his subordinates will naturally come to pay New Year greetings during the New Year. No matter how far or not, it is really far.
, you should also send a telegram back to express congratulations or explain the reasons.
Fang Shengli came with Murong. The young lieutenant general and major general stood out among the crowd.
"Brother Fang?" Zhang Zizhong came with his colleagues to pay New Year greetings, but found Fang Shengli. You know, in the past few years, the independent division did not send anyone here. Everyone thought it was because the leader of the independent division was too young and did not know how to adapt.
.
"Brother Xin Chen." Fang Shengli saw that it was Zhang Zizhong, and there was a smile on his face, "Happy New Year."
"Hahaha." Zhang Zizhong laughed, "Brother Fang, happy New Year to you too." Zhang Zizhong is from Shandong. He admires what the Independent Division is doing in Shandong. In addition, he has a good relationship with Zhou Weiguo, so he
The independent division is also closer.
At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek had not yet appeared, and everyone was just sitting in the hall waiting. There were many people. There were many famous anti-Japanese generals and theater commanders. Most of them recognized Zhang Zizhong. After listening to Zhang Zizhong’s words, they realized that this young man
Lieutenant General, is he actually Fang Shengli? Commander of the Second Independent Division.
Some people squinted their eyes. If the independent division still listened to Lao Jiang, then Fang Shengli and Zhou Weiguo were just outstanding juniors in their eyes. But since the Emperor of Japan deliberately sow discord between Lao Chiang and Zhou Weiguo, Zhou Weiguo's identity
Status looks different to these people. Although some of them are far away from that position, it does not hinder their imagination. Now that even the young Zhou Weiguo has been promoted to a higher position than them, they naturally
They became hostile to Zhou Weiguo. Even during the Battle of Nanchang, many people stood aside and watched the soldiers of the Independent Division surrounded in Nanchang.
"Chief Li, Chief Bai." Fang Shengli greeted Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, "Happy New Year."
"Good! Not bad! Young and promising!" Li Zongren praised without hesitation. In his opinion, the rise of the independent division is a great thing for the country, but it only hinders the interests of many people.
Jealous.
"Not bad." Bai Chongxi also patted Fang Shengli on the shoulder, and then sat back in his seat. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are still at odds, the general trend of resisting Japan will not change. Bai Chongxi knows this very well. It's just that
It was just that the Communist Party was developing too fast, which made Chiang Kai-shek uncomfortable.
After a while, Lao Jiang came out, accompanied by Dai Li and the guards, "Everyone, please sit down." Although Lao Jiang was a little old, his eyes were still sharp. After a while, he spotted the young Fang Shengli and Murong. Others
Most of the people were old faces, but Fang Shengli and Murong were new faces. "For such a young lieutenant general, let me think about it," Old Jiang touched his head, "Fang Shengli, the Second Independent Division, Fang Shengli, right?"
"Fang Shengli, I have met the Chairman." Fang Shengli stood up and saluted Chiang Kai-shek.
"It's good to be young." Lao Jiang sighed aimlessly, then ignored Fang Shengli and started talking to others. Although Lao Jiang was wondering why Fang Shengli came, this was not the time to ask. Here
, Fang Shengli cannot be the protagonist, after all, he is just a lieutenant general and division commander. There are many theater commanders and generals here.
Fang Shengli also knew that Chiang Kai-shek would not talk to him immediately, so he sat down quietly, drank tea, and cracked melon seeds. To be honest, Zhou Weiguo asked him to come this time. The reason was,
There was no reason. It was only after they became leaders that the two of them discovered that they had never paid New Year greetings to Chiang Kai-shek before. Although they had broken up with Chiang Kai-shek, the united front on the anti-Japanese battlefield was still there, and Chiang Kai-shek was still a member of the country.
The etiquette that a first person should have is still indispensable, so Fang Shengli came and paid some taxes to the central government. In Fang Shengli's view, at least Zhou Weiguo was not willing to have such a quarrel with Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek actually had quite a charismatic personality, at least in Fang Shengli's view, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sit in this position for so long and still have a large number of die-hard loyalists.
About two hours later, most of the people in the hall had left, but Fang Shengli was still sitting upright.
After seeing this, Lao Jiang smiled with satisfaction. He felt that the quality of the young people was good, but he just couldn't turn his head around. "Shengli, you come."
After hearing this, Fang Shengli stood up and said, "Chairman."
"Come, let's talk in the room." Old Jiang said gently.
Murong nodded and sat down. In Lao Jiang's place, he didn't think Fang Shengli would be in any danger.
…
"Tell me, why did you come here this time?" Lao Jiang spoke first and looked at Fang Shengli.
Fang Shengli sighed and took out a money order from his pocket, "Chairman, this is three million silver dollars, which was paid to the central government for last year's taxes from Shandong."
"It's impossible to pay taxes to the central government and hand them over to me personally." Lao Jiang smiled. In his opinion, this was Zhou Weiguo and the others being subdued. Although the money was a bit small, they were already serious.
"The chairman also knows that there was an epidemic in Shandong last year, and all the input was used for disaster relief, so this is all we have." Fang Shengli said, "Originally, I wanted to hand it over to the Ministry of Finance, but I was not familiar with it and was afraid that the committee members
I had a misunderstanding, so..."
Lao Jiang nodded and handed the money order to Dai Li behind him, "I just want to ask, is the independent division an independent division of the party-state?"
Fang Shengli was silent for a while, knowing that Chiang Kai-shek was forcing them to choose a side, so he nodded, "Of course, yes." But he remembered that the telegram sent by Zhou Weiguo said that the chairman of the committee should comply with his wishes.
After all, in Zhou Weiguo's view, people like Lao Jiang were just characters in textbooks.
Lao Jiang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay."
Fang Shengli also smiled. He knew that if Chiang Kai-shek gave him any inappropriate orders, the two of them would still disobey them.
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. I think you are very busy with things on your hands." Lao Jiang said, "It will be good to come and visit me, old man, when you have time in the future."
"Yes!" Fang Shengli nodded and walked out under the leadership of the guards.
Lao Jiang was still very happy and said to Dai Li, "Shandong alone pays three million in taxes a year. If other places had this much, the life of the party-state would be much easier. He is still young,
Serving the country and the family is the time to be passionate.”
"What the principal said is true, but doesn't this mean that Wei Guo and others are innocent at heart?" Dai Li saw that Chiang Kai-shek was happy and said a few words with a smile.
