Beiyang 1917

Before five o'clock, Qiu Bin, the chief of staff of the 16th mixed brigade, and Shi Jingting, the executive director of the teaching group, each took the newly drafted officer appointment list and came to Wang Geng's office. The rank became adjutant major.

Sitting behind the large desk, Wang Geng casually glanced at the list of officers handed over by the two, and smiled slightly at the familiar or unfamiliar names. Obviously, both Qiu Bin and Shi Jingting had understood what he meant, although they dared not say This list blindly employs nepotism, but there are obviously a few unfamiliar names in the position of battalion commander, which is progress.

Wang Geng picked up a brush to approve the documents and signed them, and took out the seals of his commander of the 16th mixed brigade and the superintendent of the war, and stamped them respectively, and handed them back to the two.

"Let the General Staff Headquarters announce the appointment today, and ask them to start working immediately. After the appointment letter is issued, I will pack it up and put it on my desk. I will sign and seal it later! In the future, we must also boldly promote and appoint loyal, reliable and capable subordinates. How about a good man and three gangs, how can you build a direct army without your own team? Do you know what I mean?"

"Thank you for the supervisor's advice, and your subordinates will obey!" Qiu Bin and Shi Jingting didn't understand. If the new boss is on the road and still can't figure out the situation, he would be an idiot!

"Understood, hurry up and go on your own. I have greeted Xue Dubi. One of the responsibilities of his gendarmerie battalion is to escort you and watch the scene. Black sheep who commit crimes under the status of veterans are not allowed in my army. !

"It's the best if you can handle it yourself. If there is a need to transfer the Gendarmerie Battalion directly through the Chief of Staff Jiang, in addition, three companies of my Guards Battalion are stationed at the Nanyuan Headquarters. They are usually under the command of the Chief of Staff and can be dispatched when necessary!"

Wang Geng is opening the window to speak frankly. Nima, I have supported you to such an extent. If you don’t straighten your back, you really misjudged and used the wrong person!

"Brigadier Superintendent, don't worry! The rank is clear!" Qiu Bin and Shi Jingting glanced at each other, stood at attention and saluted while brushing. Another 60 fresh oceans and brand-new military equipment are nourishing the army. If I can't figure it out, I will be ashamed to come to see Wang Geng!

"Go to work if you understand. If you have anything to do, you can ask me to ask the Chief of Staff of Jiang. I, Wang Geng, have no doubts about employing people. I believe you will not let me down!" Wang Geng finally showed a smile and waved away the two big men. King Kong who has just taken up the post of leading troops.

"Report! The guards are ready, when will the supervisor leave?" Feng Zhi'an, the battalion commander of the guards, knocked on the door and came in and reported loudly.

"Feng Zhi'an, I have chosen all the members of the four companies of the Guard Battalion? Have you changed all the firearms?" Wang Geng stopped the documents sent by the General Staff Headquarters in his hand, and raised his head to ask the Guard Battalion Commander in front of him. .

"All the people have been selected, and the troops have also changed their outfits. According to the supervisor's instructions, each company has three rows and nine squads of 126 people. Each squad has a Madsen machine gun, 10 Mauser 98 rifles, and 14 Mauser pistols. The military uniform and armbands have also been changed!" Feng Zhian was full of energy, and the black lettering on the red band on the left arm was particularly eye-catching.

"The Guards Battalion is stationed here at the Nanyuan Command Headquarters. When I'm away, you will follow the command of the Chief of Staff. When I return to the city, I will take one company with me. The remaining three companies should hurry up and practice hard! Do you understand?" Wang said. Geng ordered.

"Understood the supervision! Which company do you want to escort you back to the city?" Feng Zhi'an asked after standing at attention. Feng Zhi'an was a little disappointed that he could not follow Wang Geng himself, but the remaining three companies guarding the headquarters were also crucial.

"Let Zhang Zizhong lead the guard battalion to the company, and the four Dodge cars will just be loaded in! You will be notified, and we will start in 20 minutes!" Wang Geng waved his hand, bowed his head and seized the time to approve the documents!

At 06:30 in the evening, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a reception for the diplomatic corps at the Liuguo Hotel, and Wang Geng planned to go and find out the news in his capacity as the supervisor of the Foreign Ministry's negotiations with the United States.

At five o'clock, Wang Geng left Nanyuan and returned to the city under the escort of Zhang Zizhong's guards. Of course, Wang Geng knew who Zhang Zizhong was. , this guy himself has studied hard and practiced hard, and he is the first in all subjects in the model company.

After graduation, Zhang Zizhong became the platoon leader of Li Mingzhong's infantry regiment. Wang Geng personally asked Feng Zhi'an to recruit Zhang Zizhong into his guard battalion. He wanted to observe and train him for a while, to see if he could cultivate A general came out.

Before six o'clock, Wang Geng returned to his house on Consort Street in the city. When he got out of the car, Zhang Zizhong, who opened the door for himself, said softly, "Report to the supervisor, if there are two identical cars in the convoy when you travel, Might be safer!"

Wang Geng was happy, and said with a smile, "I thought you would let me wear the squad leader's military uniform and sit in the passenger seat of the third Dodge! Okay, let's get another car next time! But short-term Supervisor Nemoto should not be in any danger!"

As he spoke, Wang Geng thumped Zhang Zizhong's shoulder, entered the mansion without hesitation, and told Duan Tiezhu who came out to greet him, "Company Commander Zhang's guards live in the wing rooms on both sides of the first courtyard, and ask everyone to keep quiet and not disturb the people. It scares the neighbors." The flowers and plants of the Women's Normal University are not good!"

Behind him, Zhang Zizhong rubbed his head and thought, "Hey, why is this young brigade commander and supervisor like a roundworm in my stomach? If it wasn't for fear that he would refuse, I really thought about letting him change his clothes and sit in the truck with soldiers behind him." Woolen cloth!

"Lieutenant Zhang, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and get your people out of the car and enter the house. Put half a shift at the gate to be on duty first! Another squad will be sent to patrol along Consort Street for me!"

Duan Tiezhu saw a little captain leading more than 100 energetic guards for him to dispatch, and cheerfully regained a little bit of the adjutant chief of the prime minister's guards.

When Wang Geng entered the inner house, Chunni and Xia Cao followed. The two girls were both surprised and happy when they saw that their master had come back as expected. Under the light, Hanchun's pink face looked at Wang Geng with watery eyes. Eyes were rippling, and Wang Xiaodi, who was under the supervision of negotiating with the United States, couldn't help being ready to move when he saw this, but Wang Geng was anxious to go to the Liuguo Hotel, so he just changed into a suit with exquisite workmanship under the service of the two.

He said, "You don't have to wait for me to eat and go to bed early at night!" Wang Geng hurried out and just arrived at the courtyard. Xia Shan and Zhang Zizhong had already seen it and rushed to meet him. Wang Geng waved his hands and said,

"In the evening, I will go to the Liuguo Hotel to attend the reception, so the guards don't need to be dispatched, I just go by myself!"

"Supervisor? Am I going too?" Xia Shan was a little dazed. These days he followed Wang Geng around here and there. The perception of my new boss is getting better and better.

"Well, you are on standby at home, I will call back if I need you!" Wang Geng smiled and waved his hands, went out and drove to Liuguo Hotel by himself, leaving Xia Shan at the gate of the mansion behind. He and Zhang Zizhong looked at each other.

"What are you doing in a daze, come in and eat quickly, Xia Shan, you can take a few people outside the Liuguo Hotel and wait quietly!" Duan Tiezhu, with rich experience, whispered to the two behind him.

It happened to be 06:30 when Wang Geng came to the Liuguo Hotel, and the lights were shining brightly. The Liuguo Hotel is located in the core area of ​​Dongjiaomin Lane. It was built by the British in 1900 and has a total of four floors.

The Liuguo Hotel was mainly used by ministers, officials and upper-class people from various countries at that time to stay, eat and entertain here.

There is a lot of traffic at the entrance of the hotel, and the cars of dignitaries and dignitaries are constantly stopping. The manager of the hotel lobby and several senior foremen in front of the glass turnstile on the steps are nodding and bowing non-stop to check the invitation letter. Tonight, because the venue is reserved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there are people waiting and talking. Guests who are not staying in the hotel have to decline for the time being.

Wang Geng got out of the car and threw the key to the waiter to park the car. He walked in with a card in his hand. This guy was tall and slender, with his hair combed into the most popular hairstyle of this era. !

Wearing a black suit custom-made by a famous fashion store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, a pale pink bat is embroidered on each collar of the snow-white shirt. Of course, at this moment, hiding behind the elegant black bow tie is a bit reserved and shy, and the pure gold cuff buttons are in the light shining brightly.
