In Shanghai at night, the first thing that comes into view is a huge dance floor. There are already dancers performing on the stage, and there are also some exotic faces. There are some tables placed against the wall around the dance floor, and there are stairs next to it.
Go to the second floor.
When they entered, the music stopped. At this time, the dancers on the stage stepped down, and a middle-aged man came onto the stage. He took the microphone and said, "Let us give a warm welcome to Mr. Qi and Mr. Han, who are new to Shanghai."
After the man finished speaking, the audience immediately burst into applause. At the same time, many people turned their attention to Han Baihang and the three of them.
Many of the invited female relatives looked at Han Baihang curiously. Song Ziwen was also an old face to them. Qi Xieyuan was no longer as middle-aged now and was another squinting commander. Although he was wearing an exaggerated military uniform, he still couldn't stand in front of these women.
Seeking benefits in their hearts, most of them were looking at Han Baihang.
Although Han Baihang was only wearing a simple suit at this time, his figure was there, so he looked particularly tall and tall. Although his face was a little thin and darkened due to the long march, it had sharp angles, so he still looked very heroic. Most importantly,
Yes, Han Baihang's name has long been spread through newspapers, so most people have heard of him.
At this time, Qi Xieyuan was receiving the baptism of his gaze and nodded to everyone in a very decent manner. When it came to Han Baihang, he didn't know why and stood there numbly.
At this time, Song Ziwen pressed his hand down, and the applause stopped. He said: "I believe everyone has been waiting for you. Now we finally see two long-famous generals. Well, let's invite them to the stage to express their opinions.
How about it not only satisfy your curiosity, but also allow us all to understand them more deeply?"
As soon as Song Ziwen said this, someone immediately cheered. At this time, Song Ziwen looked at Han Baihang and Qi Xieyuan with kind eyes. Qi Xieyuan straightened his clothes and said to Han Baihang: "Brother Han, I will go up and give you a look first."
After saying that, Qi Xieyuan strode towards the stage. The middle-aged man wisely handed the microphone to the squinting commander, and then gave up his position.
Han Baihang glanced at Song Ziwen helplessly, and then heard Qi Xieyuan say: "Peace in Zhejiang and Shanghai is a long-cherished wish that our generation of sergeants have been pursuing. Here, I have to thank Commander Yu, who gave me the opportunity.
, gave this opportunity to stabilize Shanghai, so we should thank him. Secondly, I think there is one person who is indispensable, and that is Chief of Staff Han, the ever-victorious general in our direct line. Without him, this battle would have been fought by me alone.
Although Mr. Qi will win, it will definitely be very difficult. It is because of the sincere cooperation between me and Chief of Staff Han that we have reached this situation. So the second person I want to thank is Chief of Staff Han.
It’s grown.”
After saying that, Qi Xieyuan bowed to Han Baihang, and the people in the audience immediately applauded. Han Baihang waved his hand towards Qi Xieyuan and gave him a knowing expression.
Qi Xieyuan is right, but his only contribution here is to give Han Baihang some soldiers, and he did so under the pressure of Wu Peifu. The current victory does not have much to do with him, but Han Baihang does not disdain it
Compete with him for these eyeballs.
Then Qi Xieyuan made some impassioned remarks, which won the applause and approval of many people. In the end, Qi Xieyuan finally stated his purpose.
"Actually, this time, hundreds of thousands of our soldiers fought bloody battles, which was indeed not easy. However, although I, Qi Xieyuan, have not read many books, I still understand some righteousness. We bleed for the country and to save this nation.
Now all parties are in peace, but there are too many casualties in our army. The money allocated by President Cao is indeed a drop in the bucket. I understand that the government is in trouble, so I have the courage to make a request here, that is, all the gentry in Shanghai, please
You guys do me a favor, Lao Qi, and raise a small amount of money for us young soldiers who have no medical treatment for our injuries."
Qi Xieyuan stood on the stage and said passionately. Many young people from rich families who were not familiar with the world showed sympathetic looks. However, Han Baihang and Song Ziwen were somewhat aware of the slant-eyed commander's usual style. They were afraid that the donations these people raised for him would
Most of it goes into his pocket.
Of course, as the saying goes, don’t tell the truth once you see it.
At least Han Baihang wouldn't tell the truth, nor would Song Ziwen, nor would anyone else present who knew Qi Xieyuan's character.
Fundraising is not just as simple as some money, but more importantly, a form that represents this group of people who have not completely given up on this country.
"Then, let's invite our Chief of Staff Han to come on stage and speak."
Han Baihang looked helplessly at Qi Xieyuan who was swaying down, and then he had no choice but to walk up.
He first tried the microphone, only to find that the audience was quiet. Many people were looking at him with some hope to see what this victorious general who often made unexpected moves on the battlefield would say.
talk.
"Well, I actually don't have anything to say. The main thing is that my brother Qi has already finished everything that needs to be said." Han Baihang made a joke first, and the audience immediately laughed out loud, which made the audience laugh.
He felt much more at ease.
Then he continued: "Shanghai is now stable, Zhejiang is also stable, at least, it seems to be stable."
What he said was a bit vague, causing many people to frown and think, including Song Ziwen in the audience.
"But is China really stable today? There are powerful enemies peeping from all sides, the scars left by the former Qing Dynasty have not been eliminated, and there are still concessions in Shanghai and other places. Not to mention the outside world, at least a China at this time can actually
There are several governments at the same time. In fact, the status quo is unstable." He continued.
Song Ziwen nodded in the audience. In fact, these are very obvious things, but no one would say them, because it is really unrealistic to say these things at the moment.
How can a country with constant civil war and entrenched warlords develop, run, and resist foreign enemies?
But if Han Baihang said it, he could say it in front of so many people.
"To fight against foreign forces, we must first settle down at home. This sentence is indeed true. What our generation is doing at this time is also the same thing. Only when China at the moment can truly twist it into a rope and condense a force can we
Really stand up, this is not empty talk, I, Han Baihang, have been doing this, and I believe that many people in China are also doing this."
