Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The Yuanjiang arrived at Hankou Wharf in Wuhan on the night of December 12. According to the schedule, Wang Zhenyu will change trains to Beijing here.As a result, at the pier, Wang Zhenyu unexpectedly met a big man of this era. . .

The wharf in Hankou is not big, just enough to berth two passenger ships at the same time. Tonight, a passenger ship from Chongqing and a passenger ship from Anjiang arrived at Hankou Wharf almost at the same time.

Wang Zhenyu, Yang Yongtai, Zhao Yuting, and Wang Chenhao disembarked first. He planned to enjoy the cold wind on the pier, and then wait for the entourage to come down with their luggage before going to the reserved hotel to rest and take the first train to Beijing tomorrow morning.

As a result, he habitually glanced at the passenger ship from Chongqing, only to see a soldier in a lieutenant general's uniform walking down the escalator. Who could this be?Wang Zhenyu is interested!

Wang Zhenyu suddenly walked towards this person. The lieutenant general didn't bring too many entourages, so he didn't take much action. On the contrary, the personnel arranged by the Hubei Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau to secretly protect the pier were scared to death.

It has to be said that with the financial support of the General Administration of Smoking Control, He Jian's Military Intelligence Bureau has unknowingly developed into the largest spy agency in China, in terms of its network layout, number of employees, and work efficiency. Even Yuan Shikai's Law Enforcement Office led by Lu Jianzhang could not compete with it.It’s just that the reputation is not obvious. First, it is intentional, deliberately erasing the traces of the existence of this department; second, most of the network is in a latent state, and more tasks are to collect intelligence and develop insiders, rather than assassination, blasting, and kidnapping. This kind of errand that can become famous in one battle.

The person wearing the lieutenant general's uniform has a thin face, but his eyes are sharp, and with his characteristic mustache that has been trimmed, he looks particularly energetic.He watched the young man also wearing the lieutenant general's uniform walking towards him, and thought it was the reception staff arranged by Hubei, so he reached out his hand to signal the guards not to stop him.

Wang Zhenyu will not be sure if this is Cai E for a while. After all, he has never seen Cai E's photos, and he knows more about Cai E's image that stays in film and television works.In the film and television works of later generations, Cai E is simply a model of being tall, handsome and rich. As for the one in front of him, he is very similar to a porter from Shaoyang Longhui in the warehouse of the logistics company where Wang Zhenyu worked.Wang Zhenyu was very impressed with this porter. That guy gave birth to five children in one go, so he spared no effort when working, and he also liked to calculate small accounts, which often annoyed Wang Zhenyu.

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that people should not be judged by their appearance. Out of caution and politeness, Wang Zhenyu cupped his hands first and said: "In Xiayuan Xianggui Military Affairs Supervisor, Army Lieutenant General Wang Zhenyu, I have seen this brother, dare to ask him for his name!"

Although the man looked unsmiling, he smiled before he spoke: "Cai E, whose name is Songpo, was formerly the governor of Yunnan..."

Great God, awesome man, Wang Zhenyu crashed on the spot. Is such a person who looks like a porter of later generations the general Cai E who changed the direction of the entire Chinese history in the early Republic of China?

Wang Zhenyu grasped General Cai E's hand with a little excitement, no matter what, let's talk about the king's spirit first.If the person in front of him hadn't died of illness in Japan, it would be really hard to say that he would have made it to that point later on. Anyway, Cao Kun made him fight and flee, and Feng Yuxiang made him fight for the second time. . .Although some people's trajectories in history are as short as meteors, their light is eternal.

Yang Yongtai, who was standing not far away, also noticed the situation here. It seemed that the domineering Wang Zhenyu who was talking on the boat before was extremely polite and courteous to the lieutenant general opposite him.

"Brother Changqing, come quickly, come quickly, this is my number one pride in the Hunan military circle, one of the three outstanding Japanese non-commissioned officers, and the glory of our Baoqing Mansion, General Cai Songpo Cai." Wang Zhenyu also hurriedly called Yang Yongtai to come and see him.

For Wang Zhenyu, Cai E has almost no impression. When Wang Zhenyu won Guangxi a month ago, Cai E was still busy cleaning up the situation in Chongqing.The person who knows the most about this novelty in the military circle is Baoqing's hometown, and also the nephew of Wang Longzhong, an old friend in the army.However, even though Wang Longzhong and I are from the same hometown of Baoqing, we really don't have much contact with each other in private.

"We all know your uncle Wang Longzhong. He has a straightforward personality. He is obviously a scholarly family, but he doesn't care about his status. He is willing to mingle with Qiu Ba, and he is loved by soldiers." Climb up friendship.

Wang Zhenyu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally followed the example: "It turns out that Brother Zhao Hengti is your old subordinate in Guangxi. You didn't tell me earlier. I met him when we were preparing to participate in the Northern Expedition in Nanjing. Because of our compatible personalities, we came and went. Later, he became a sworn brother. I returned to Hunan from Nanjing, and he also helped me a lot. But you know about the Second Revolution, and I won’t hide it from you. He is living with me now. I won't say much more."

What happened to Zhao Hengti? Everyone on the scene knew that on Tang Hualong's most wanted list, this man was right behind Cheng Qian.So Cai E immediately gave a thumbs up when he heard what Wang Zhenyu said: "Wenzheng, you were carved out of the same mold as your uncle, and it is really righteous to be a man and do things..."

After a while of pleasantries, Wang Zhenyu found out that Cai E and the others hadn't booked a room at the hotel yet (nonsense, whoever has nothing to do with a lot of money has no place to spend it like raising spies everywhere and setting up an office).He immediately asked Wang Chenhao to make arrangements for the brothers below to squeeze in. No matter what he did, he must give up a few rooms for Cai E. Naturally, Cai E couldn't refuse this, so he could only express his gratitude.

Seeing fellow countrymen in a foreign country really brought tears to their eyes; plus Wang Zhenyu and Cai E are the same, this time they both belong to the two representative figures who were promoted by Beiyang old Yuan to cut down the vassal, so I started to cherish heroes (Wang Zhenyu is at best an orangutan, so it should be a hero who cherishes the orangutan), and Wang Zhenyu deliberately made friends, and the relationship between the two immediately became familiar.

The next day, Wang Zhenyu spent a lot of money on the second car and invited Cai E to ride north with him. Cai E joked: "Then I will take Wenzheng's car."

Wang Zhenyu hurriedly said: "This is not rubbish, you are giving me face, if you don't sit down, let my uncle know, you must punish me severely."

With Cai E on this journey, it will naturally not be boring. Cai E is actually quite talkative, and his inner depression also needs to be resolved. Along the way, he will tell some anecdotes about studying in Japan from time to time.It often makes everyone laugh, especially the little girl Zhao Yuting who burst into tears.

Occasionally, Cai E would also ask about the process of Wang Zhenyu's fight with Lu Rongting in Guangxi. Of course, this was asked under the guise of learning from each other.And Wang Zhenyu said everything truthfully except for the section about the Military Intelligence Bureau, and there must be a section about the Military Intelligence Bureau, so I'm sorry, Liu Guxiang, Liu Zhenhuan and the other four were honored.

Wang Zhenyu's quick words also won Cai E's favor, but unlike Wang Zhenyu's treatment of Yang Yongtai, Cai E is the boss of a party after all, and he didn't say a word about current affairs and central affairs.Wang Zhenyu is also a sensible person, and he also tried his best to avoid this topic.

But there is one topic that cannot be avoided. Who is China's future enemy?

Wang Zhenyu, who had been well educated in the anti-Japanese films of Hengdian for later generations, was full of sympathy for Japanese militarism, and said his answer naturally: "Brother Cai (this is the title Cai E requested), Wen Zheng secretly believes that China's enemy in the future must be greedy and insatiable. Russians, followed by Japan."

Cai E shook his head, and said an answer that surprised Wang Zhenyu: "Japan and Russia are both my great enemies of China, but they are not my greatest enemy of China."

Japan and Russia are not counted?Wang Zhenyu was immediately taken aback. Coming from later generations, he clearly remembered that before the founding of New China, Japan and Russia, including the later Soviet Union, had always been coveting China's land, and would take a bite from time to time.Among them, Japan took a big bite impatiently. As a result, the eight-year war of resistance began outside Hengdian, Zhejiang.

If Japan and Russia are not considered the biggest enemies, then is it the United States? Could it be that Cai E is really good at evading armor, can pinch and count, and knows that the future world will be an era of US imperialism?

It's a pity that the two words that Cai E spit out later let Wang Zhenyu know what it means to think too much.

Cai E whispered two words: "inner thief".

He is unwilling to say any more, and he is not even willing to give any explanation for the two words that he uttered. As for what is an insider thief, and who is an insider thief, you can guess for yourself.

Wang Zhenyu thought to himself that since you didn't tell me, I naturally didn't have to bother to guess, and I just fooled it after a haha.

The trains of this era are not as fast as the high-speed trains of later generations. From Wuhan to Beijing, it takes at least three days to stop and go.

After crossing the Yellow River, it is the territory of Zhili!

"By the way, Brother Cai, my fourth son is studying in a military academy in Baoding. I haven't seen him for almost two years. If you don't mind, how about visiting this military academy with me? It is said that this is the highest school in our country. The military academy." Wang Zhenyu made his proposal with a shy face.

Cai E glanced at the scenery outside the window: "Very good, I also want to see this military academy, Wen Zheng, you don't know, my classmate Jiang Baili from the Japanese Military Academy is now here in Baoding Military Academy in front of the principal I will accompany you there, just to see my old classmate who became the principal. If necessary, let him take care of your younger brother, and the future will naturally not be so low! What do you think? like?"

After Wang Zhenyu heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "If this is the case, then it would be great..."
