Age of Rebirth

After the economic work conference, Tang Qiuli drove to his father-in-law's house. This was prearranged. If he returned to Dingbian and didn't visit Mr. Mei's house, he could not predict the consequences. The reporter said that he also respected this father-in-law very much. The father-in-law and father-in-law have a lot of common language, which is a deeper sexual exchange between two men, which is related to seniority, age and even identity.

Amid Mr. Mei's loud voice, Tang Qiuli stepped into the living room of his father-in-law's house, and saw his beloved son-in-law arriving as soon as he spoke. Mr. Mei laughed loudly and said, "Qiuli, I'm talking about you. Come on, Meiling has already made me anxious for b, come, come and sit."

Mei Ling immediately got up and stood at attention to salute, "Report to the commander, Mei Ling, a student of the intermediate command department of Dingbian Military Academy, is reporting, and please give instructions from the commander." Following his salute, a third-class warrior medal in front of him was shining brightly under the light. This was obtained by Meiling in the battle to regain Shanxi. In that battle, Meiling was seriously injured and understood what a soldier is.

Tang Qiuli returned the gift, and looked at his brother-in-law with admiration. The temperament of a person who has experienced the baptism of war is different. Now Meiling does not have the jerkyness of a green youth at all. Instead, it is The strong military atmosphere exuded, and the experience of that life-and-death experience tempered his heart and will. [

Tang Qiuli turned around and bowed slightly to his father-in-law, "Dad, are you okay?" After finishing speaking, he took out two boxes of exquisite cigars from his pocket and handed them over. , In Qingdao, a White Russian nobleman gave him two boxes. The White Russian nobleman said that these are the best Cuban cigars, and each box is worth more than 50 yuan.

Mr. Mei took it, sniffed it carefully a few times, looked intoxicated, and said with a big smile, "Okay, I have nothing to worry about, my body is strong, but there is one thing, I can't talk with your father, it's okay, I will talk to you Mom has also been to your house a few times. I thought we old brothers would have a good chat, and we would have a companion in the future. Then you know, what I said, your dad didn’t understand, and what your dad said, I didn’t know at all. What’s the matter? What's the matter? It's like a carriage on two roads, your mother and the old sisters are chatting happily, it's been a while since I haven't seen you, and I'm still panicking."

Tang Qiuli smiled, this is not surprising, the two old people are people of different levels, their experiences and environments are completely different, if they talk to their father about how good the crops are, how much food they can buy, how much food they can keep There are endless topics to talk about. Similarly, talking about military affairs and wars with his father-in-law, keeping his father-in-law for three days and three nights without closing his eyes, is still full of energy, but in Tang Qiuli's mind, it is not because his father is like this. Contemptuous of one's own origin.

Mei Ting and Mei Xue came back early. When they saw Tang Qiuli, they both smiled at the same time and went to help their mother-in-law. After they were seated, Tang Qiuli asked Meiling: "Meiling, it's time to graduate in another year." Is the direction of distribution roughly determined?" "Yes, brother-in-law, I beg you to do something. Tell our dean that when it's time for distribution, assign me to the corps directly under the division headquarters. I can do whatever I want. As long as it can be in the field troops."

After Mei Ling finished speaking, she looked at Tang Qiuli eagerly, with longing on her face. Tang Qiuli sighed. General Jiang Baili, the dean of the Dingbian Military Academy, had already reported the distribution of these graduate students, and initially planned to distribute them to various departments. The purpose of Jiang Baili's internship at the brigade-level headquarters of the Corps is to protect these military students who have been cultivated with great difficulty.

This is the first batch of students graduating from Dingbian Military Academy. The original intention of the old general was not to let the future grassroots commanders of these troops disappear prematurely in the vortex of war. There is a process of adaptation and training in the troops, so , are placed in the brigade-level headquarters, serving as various staff positions.

There is also a saying here that they are all units under the Independent Division, but they are completely different in nature. Take Yuan Jinghao's Corps as an example, it is a second-line garrison regiment, while the regiments under the Independent Division can be called complete field regiments , only the corps directly under Tang Qiuli's direct command, Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, Liu Tiehan's Northeast tng Jin Command's troops, Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and Li Honggang's No.20 Ninth Corps .

If Tang Qiuli's estimate is not bad, Mei Ling and his group of students will be assigned to the second-line garrison regiments, such as Sun Zhenbang's Outer Enggu Frontier Defense Army, Yuan Jinghao's Pingjin Garrison Command, and Tian Shuangxi's Luyu Garrison Command , and then there is Zhou Yushan's independent division transportation command unit.

Regarding General Jiang Baili's distribution plan, Tang Qiuli didn't quite agree with it in his heart. He always believed that a real soldier should grow up on the battlefield of blood and fire and experience the test of life and death. Teaching it a hundred times in class will work, but he understands the painstaking efforts of the old general better.

How many chances do students who have just graduated from the military academy have to survive on the cruel battlefield?After finally accumulating some family fortune, no one can bear it all at once, so after leaving Shen Yin for a while, Tang Qiu said: "This is assigned by your college, but it is easy to transfer to the corps directly under it." .”

At this point, Mrs. Mei passed by and happened to hear Tang Qiuli's words. The old man didn't say anything, but Tang Qiuli keenly saw the deep worry and opposition in the eyes of his mother-in-law, which instantly hurt him In my heart, I didn't continue to say the following words.

Mei Ling was very happy. In his opinion, as long as his brother-in-law said something, there would be no problem. He might be the first one among more than 1000 classmates to be assigned to the Field Corps. Mr. Mei was also very happy. Praising his son as promising, he didn't see the old lady's anxious eyes and frequent gestures.

The whole family had a meal together, and Mr. Mei happily took out a bottle of good wine from his collection. He insisted on drinking a few glasses with Tang Qiuli. After a glass of mellow and spicy wine, Mr. Mei suddenly said with emotion: Ah, I didn’t expect that you actually took more than 100 Soviet warships from the Japanese and returned them to Qingdao, it’s amazing, China lacks aircraft, warships, tanks and artillery.”

"After the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], the whole army of Beiyang navy was wiped out, and our Chinese naval dream was completely shattered. The next thing is warlord unarmed war. I will fight you today, and you will fight me tomorrow. You will grab territory and occupy the top of the mountain. After Fang sang, I appeared on the stage, and what I thought in my heart was my own self-interest, who cares about the country, and made a great river and mountain into a miasma, and the people are in dire straits."

"Next, the great powers came on the stage and began to carve up China. When Jiang came to power, he unified China in name, but under the s, it was still divided by warlords. China was basically a mess, and the three eastern provinces were lost overnight. The ambition of the Japanese to covet my China.

After finishing speaking, Mr. Mei seemed to be very emotional, and drank the wine in the glass. Tang Qiuli also drank it with him. Putting down the glass, Mr. Mei's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Why doesn't he, Mr. Jiang, focus on dealing with it* *, the Japanese will never succeed in the Northeast, this is fate, it is Zhang Xueliang's fate, and it is also the fate of us Chinese."

"Just relying on the dozens of broken warships of the Nationalist Government, they are no match for the Japanese fleet at all. Now, don't look at Qiuli, you have more than 100 warships in your hands. It looks powerful, but in fact, there is no way to compete with the Japanese navy. Therefore, your fleet should mainly focus on keeping a low profile and accumulating strength, and you must not go into battle lightly."

After Mr. Mei finished speaking, he drank himself down again. After a few glasses of wine, the old man was slightly drunk and obviously very interested. As soon as we meet, I tell you the truth, the dishes are cold, and the table is full of people, just listen to you, come to Qiuli, eat vegetables, don't listen to your father's nagging." After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she put it in Tang Qiuli's bowl. Got a piece of ro.

Mei Ting and Mei Xue giggled, as women, especially women with husbands, they put more attention and eyes on the man they spent this life with, if it was Mei Ting before, Maybe she will argue a few words with her father and express her own opinions, but now, Mei Ting pays more attention to the child in her womb, which is her new hope in life. [

Mei Xue's heart is all in Tang Qiuli's body. She is not interested in these things. She was able to enter the military academy because Tang Qiuli was able to accompany him for a long time as a soldier. The university she likes is related to literature, and her status as a soldier is just a variable in her life course.

Meiling is different. After experiencing the Battle of Shanxi, he has been completely reborn and fully integrated into the profession of a soldier. As a brother-in-law, the general's dream is the colorful ideal and goal of struggle in Meiling's heart. In his heart, his father My brother-in-law and my brother-in-law are people from two completely different eras, and the angle and direction of thinking about problems are completely different things.

The admiration for Tang Qiuli far exceeds that of his father, but it does not hinder his father's respect. Just like now, he can also listen to his father's words. He also found a phenomenon that only when his brother-in-law came, he The old father opened up the chatter box with words, and the conversation was quite sexual, as if he had saved words for a few months, just waiting for his brother-in-law to say it when he came.

But Tang Qiuli is different. The accumulation of his two lives has given him a more thorough understanding of the world. Tonight's father-in-law gave him the feeling that he was shocked. The old man can see through the affairs of the world without leaving home. , The suggestion I made to myself is that the navy should not participate in any battles at present, which is exactly the strategy I am implementing now.

Tang Qiuli thought it was very clever, but his father-in-law pointed it out. He even had an absurd idea, recruiting the old man to his account as a senior counselor, he must be qualified, and then he secretly laughed at his idea.

After dinner, Mei Ling returned to the military academy. The family chatted casually in the living room. A member of the special guard came in: "Report to the division commander, Director Chen of the Communications Department is here, and said that he has something to see."

Tang Qiuli was surprised, it was so late, what was Chen Feng doing here? "Director Chen, please come in," he ordered the guards.
