Chapter 510 So Touched (Happy Lantern Festival)
It snowed heavily overnight in Jinling on the winter solstice day, and the whole city turned into a white world. The next morning, Zuo Zhong appeared outside Zhu Jiahua's residence, knocked on the door, stood there and raised his hands.

Now that Dai Chunfeng made it clear, there was no need for him to pretend to be sick. It would be good to come to the old principal to find out the news. This old gentleman is an important think tank with a bald head, and he might be able to get some information.

"Which one?"

Soon after hearing the sound, the servants of Zhu's mansion came and looked out vigilantly. As soon as they asked, they found that the person who came was his master's student, and he often came to visit in the past, so he immediately opened the door and greeted him.

"It's Commander Zuo. You haven't been here for a while. Our master is reading the newspaper in the garden after breakfast. If he knows you're here, he will be very happy. It's too cold outside, please come in."

Zuo Zhong smiled and handed the car keys in his pocket to the servant: "I brought some Nanyang watermelons for my husband. I just brought them here by plane from Hong Kong City this morning, and they are in the car at the alley. Please get them."

"Okay, okay."

The servant's face was full of smiles. After all, he was an important person, and the gifts were so ingenious. Watermelon seemed cheap, but it was a standard rarity in winter, and even if you had money, you couldn't buy it.

My master is easy to get angry, and he is used to eating some fresh fruits to recuperate his body. They can only buy some frozen apples for emergency these days.

Zuo Zhong didn't know what the servant was thinking, so he turned around and walked towards the garden of the Zhu Mansion. The servants he met along the way avoided one side and whispered hello, which shows how rigorous Zhu Jiahua is in running the family.

When he reached the gate of the garden, he saw the old gentleman sitting in the sun reading the newspaper from a distance. He seemed to have a sense of tranquility in the past, and he couldn't bear to disturb him, so he stopped silently.

But Zhu Jiahua seemed to be aware of it, looked up at the door and smiled: "Shen is finally here, come and sit, what are you doing standing there, it's a pity that the heavy snow has stopped, otherwise it would be a good talk."

Zuo Zhong knew that the old man was talking about Cheng Men Lixue's allusion, so he walked quickly to the other party, bent down and said respectfully: "Respecting the teacher is the norm of ethics, students must take Mr. Guishan as an example."

①

"Well, what you said is quite right. If there is no ethics in the world, there will be big problems. You must not learn a little scientific knowledge from the West and forget about it."

After Zhu Jiahua finished speaking, he nodded in satisfaction, pointed to the empty chair beside him and asked, "Sit down, why did you think of coming to my place? Jinling City was very lively yesterday, and there was a lot of movement."

He said something pointedly, the smile on his face was a bit inexplicable, and he didn't know who he was talking about, but it was nothing more than the underground party, the Secret Service Headquarters, and the Secret Service.

Zuo Zhong's heart tightened, and he thought about the future for a while and confessed: "Sir, the student's teacher, Director Dai, asked me to meet you last night. As for the reason, I am still at a loss."

Then he continued to explain: "In addition, I was at the scene of the incident yesterday. The Secret Service Headquarters used the prisoners to set up a trap, and the Secret Service was responsible for assisting. I didn't expect that it was all a conspiracy by the underground party.

The Secret Service Headquarters, including Director Xu Enzeng, killed and injured more than a hundred people. It can be said that corpses were scattered all over the field. "

Faced with the questioning, he chose to get straight to the point. Playing tricks with these old officials is asking for trouble. Besides, he and Lao Zhu have no conflict of interest for the time being, so they are trustworthy to a certain extent.

"Oh?"

Zhu Jiahua nodded slightly, with a solemn expression on his face. He was aware of Zuo Zhong's ability in intelligence. The underground party was able to escape from the other party. The Southwest War might not go so smoothly.

It was by no means an easy task to abduct hundreds of people in Jinling, where there were many troops, and retreat smoothly. There must have been underground party insiders inside the Nationalist Government, who had leaked relevant information.

He pondered for a while without expressing his opinion, then turned around and said something: "I probably know the purpose of Dai Chunfeng asking you to come to see me. You must have heard about the promulgation of the "Army Personnel Regulations."

"heard."

Of course Zuo Zhong knew that this matter was causing a lot of trouble in the military, so the Military Commission also set up the Civil Service Office, which was in charge of the personnel affairs of officials and assistants across the country, such as appointment and dismissal assessment, advancement and promotion.

But what does this have to do with my coming to see Zhu Jiahua, the other party's influence is mainly in the education system and diplomacy, so it is good news that Lao Zhu will go to the Civil Service Department.

There are people in the court who are good at being an official. Wouldn't it be great if a teacher is the immediate boss and a gentleman is in charge of the official hat? He asked expectantly, "Is there any new arrangement for your position by the leader?"

Zhu Jiahua over there shook his head when he heard the words: "Don't think too much, this matter has nothing to do with me, I want to ask you, what do you think about the promulgation of laws and regulations and the establishment of the Civil Service Department, speak boldly."

Zuo Zhong wasn't too disappointed, he couldn't let himself take all the benefits, he hesitated and said: "Our country's military and personnel system has taken shape since the beginning of the country's establishment.

However, the laws and regulations formulated are trivial and cannot be firmly implemented, and there is no consistent spirit. In addition, the warlords in various places regard the army as their private property and rule the roost by cede territory. All personnel decisions are based on personal likes and dislikes.

In the army, some people were punished for doing nothing wrong, while others were promoted for making mistakes, and those with little knowledge were promoted or changed positions several times a year.

Over time, military discipline has become more and more lax, and many people are just muddling along. There is no basis for military promotion, and there is no guarantee for their status. The quality of the army is getting lower and lower, and the country is not stable. "

It's a little presumptuous for a small lieutenant colonel to talk about national affairs like this, and he has also benefited from it. He has been promoted several ranks in two years, but some words have been held in his heart for a long time, and he can't vomit.

In the future, the reason why the Chinese army will collapse at the first touch of the Japanese army is not only the objective gap in weapons and training, but also the chaotic personnel system.

Finally, Zuo Zhong paused, and concluded: "If the "Army Personnel Regulations" can be effectively implemented, not only can the personnel in the army be put on the right track, but it can also lay the foundation for the country-army."

"Clap clap clap~"

Zhu Jiahua applauded lightly, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, Shen Mo, your remarks are quite insightful, the former President also said that the three essential elements of building a country are personnel, management, and education.

Among these three, personnel affairs are the most important. The sages say that the government depends on the people, those who win the people will prosper, and those who lose the people will perish, and they also say that if the people survive, there will be political decisions. .

The chairman of the committee had long noticed the confusion, and demanded that the personnel system of the Japanese army should be changed from the Military Balance Division, which originally belonged to the Ministry of Military Affairs, to the Civil Service Department directly under the Military Commission.

Then formulate the army's personnel reorganization and promotion methods, the first of which is to separate the official rank from the rank, which has nothing to do with you, and the second is that the promotion of military ranks must be strictly limited by the suspension of years, understand. "

"I see."

Zuo Zhong now understood that the two deputy directors of the Secret Service were both colonel ranks. If he was the deputy director with the rank of lieutenant colonel, he would be a head shorter than them by nature, and it would be difficult to grasp all the power.

As for promotion to the military rank, this matter used to be easy in the past, you can find a fellow countryman, but once the "Army Personnel Regulations" are promulgated, you can't slap yourself in the face with a bald head.

That old Dai asked him to come to see Zhu Jiahua, could it be that the other party has the ability to solve this matter, Zuo Zhong looked at the confident old Zhu, and hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for the most respected old principal.

"Sir, please."

"You, slippery head."

Zhu Jiahua said something with a smile, and then said seriously: "After the January 21th Battle in the [-]st year of the Republic of China, the chairman of the committee was determined to improve the quality of officers in view of the rampant Japanese invaders in anticipation of the war.

Zhang Wenbai, the dean of education of the Central Army Military Academy, was ordered to set up a higher education class, and Xu Peigen was appointed as the director to convene outstanding current officers and academies of each army in stages for intensive training for six months.

The purpose is to unify and strengthen the political, ideological and technical and tactical training of army officers, to enrich and enhance the application level of the latest tactics at home and abroad by all generals and schools, and to cultivate talents for resisting foreign humiliation.

At present, the second session has been opened, and the third session started last month. I have a good relationship with Zhang Wenbai and Xu Peigen. You are ready to go to the mainland to report in two days, and you must study hard.

I heard that Dai Chunfeng recommended you to be the deputy director of the Secret Service. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a lieutenant colonel to take on such an important task. After finishing the higher education class, according to the rules, one can be promoted to the first rank of military rank. "

hiss.

Zuo Zhong shuddered. If a Guodang officer wants to be promoted, he must either be from the Whampoa Military Academy, or graduate from the Army University, or be a fellow with a bald head. Unless these three cannot enter the Guodang core.

Glycoside, if I enter the mainland, and I am a fellow villager, wouldn't I become a confidant, a remnant of remnants, I am afraid that no one would dare to believe that he wants to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, it is a scam.

He pretended to be moved and said: "Sir, did this embarrass you? I heard that the admission standards of the University of China are very strict. If it doesn't work, just forget it. The students will find another way."

Zhu Jiahua gave him a white look: "You think it's pretty good. Only the regular class and the special class in the mainland can be regarded as the official graduates. It's not difficult to arrange you to go to the higher education class based on my face."

Zuo Chong heaved a sigh of relief, and went to Lu University to get a correspondence degree, so he should not consider Baldhead as the principal, but before he was happy for 2 minutes, Lao Zhu opened his mouth again and said the big "good news".

"After graduating from the higher education class, you will have the minimum academic requirements to apply for the special class of the mainland university. I will save face with the leader and arrange you to go in. A major general in his 20s is not bad."

Zuo Zhong heard the words with tears in his eyes, feeling that the twisted rope was getting closer to his neck, he didn't think it was a good thing, he had to recognize a principal, now it's all right, students plus fellow countrymen, buffs are full, it's just a matter of time The bald head rewards a Whampoa background.

　①Yang Shi was known as Mr. Guishan, and Zeng Xuezhong stood in front of the two brothers Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, waiting for advice.

　　Finally finished writing, going to sleep, Happy Lantern Festival.
