Chapter one hundred and sixty-two

Chapter 162: See you in Lu Jin

After nearly five hours of bumpy ride, I finally arrived in Nanjing and arrived at the former Beijing-Shanghai Guard Command. Now the commander's office in the Third War Zone, a Buick car was waiting there.

"Teacher Huang, Brigade Commander Shen, we are from the attendant's room. Please follow me." The two school officials walked to Huang Wei and Shen Xiuwen who had just got off the car. A leading colonel showed the two a blue school with the national emblem of the blue sky and white sun to the two, and said.

The Military Commission's attendant room has always been known as a shadow cabinet. The colonel of the attendant room ran out more majestic than the major general of the Central Army. Huang Wei and Shen Xiuwen immediately did not dare to neglect them. They quickly greeted Gu Zhutong and boarded the Buick chariot in the attendant room.

The car came straight to the Military Commission Guesthouse next to the Forbidden City of Ming Dynasty.

"Two officers, the commissioned seat will meet the two tomorrow morning. I will come to pick up the two officers at that time." After placing Huang Wei and Shen Xiuwen in the second-floor villa of the guesthouse, the colonel saluted and said politely.

Bathtub, hot bath, spring bed, all of this is for Chen Xiuwen, who is familiar with the stiff camp bed and cannot take a shower for ten days and half a month. It is the first time that all this is so luxurious.

From June 5th, the 10th Army landed in Hangzhou Bay, until today, for a whole week, Chen Xiuwen's sleep time totaled less than ten hours. He took a comfortable bath and lay on the comfortable spring bed covered with an authentic silk satin quilt. It was the first time since the war started, Chen Xiuwen slept so comfortably.

However, Chen Xiuwen felt that he had just fallen asleep, but he was awakened by a "bang bang" knock on the door. Huang Wei shouted anxiously outside the door: "Luanfu, hurry up, get up quickly."

Chen Xiuwen opened his eyes in a daze and looked at it. He was shocked. He didn't expect that he felt that he had not been sleeping for long, but it was already bright at this time.

"Oh no." Chen Xiuwen exclaimed and jumped out of the bed. He did not forget to go to Jin to meet Chairman Jiang this morning. He grabbed the nightgown beside the bed and wrapped it around him, ran to the door and opened the door. He hurriedly muttered: "Senior, I'm really sorry, I've overslept and overslept. I'll change my clothes and get off immediately." After that, he quickly turned around to look for military uniforms.

Huang Wei stood at the door and looked at Chen Xiuwen with a surprised look. Although his beard was shaved and his military uniform was straight, it could be seen from his slightly red eyes that he had not had a good sleep last night. Moreover, he had never heard of the principal who was going to summon someone who could oversleep in the morning.

"Senior, are the people from the attendant's room here? Let's go." Chen Xiuwen even ignored washing his face, put on his pants, and said anxiously while holding the buttons of his military uniform.

Looking at Chen Xiuwen's appearance, Huang Wei, who was always serious, couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Luanfu, I really convinced you. The waiter had knocked on the door for a long time just now, but you wouldn't hear it. But you'd better hurry up, Minister He is about to arrive."

"Minister He? Aren't you going to see the principal?" Chen Xiuwen said in surprise.

"The people in the attendant's room have not arrived yet, but I just received a call from the Ministry of Military Affairs, saying that Minister He was coming." Huang Wei also frowned and said. He is the backbone of the civil engineering department. Given the relationship between Chen Cheng and He Yingqin, he is not very interested in Minister He.

"Okay. Senior, then you wait a moment, I'll hurry up and wash my face." Chen Xiuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he went to Jin to see Chiang Kai-shek without delay.

Huang Wei looked at Chen Xiuwen with a heartless look. This was not like the brigade commander Chen whom he met in Songjiang two days ago, who was fearless and determined in the face of danger. He was simply a big boy. However, when he remembered that Chen Xiuwen was eight years apart from him, he shook his head and turned around and went downstairs on his own.

When Chen Xiuwen washed up briefly, he had just arrived downstairs and heard the sound of a car brake outside. Chen Xiuwen hurriedly walked out of the door with Huang Wei, and saw He Yingqin get out of the car with a full face.

"Minister He!" Chen Xiuwen and Huang Wei stood attentively and saluted.

He Yingqin returned the greeting and said with a smile: "In the morning, the commissioner was going to meet the Soviet ambassador Gemorov, so I'll come first."

"I have appointed Huang Wei as the commander of the 18th Army Lieutenant General, and Xu was appointed Major General of the Army; the former 20th Independent Brigade was reorganized into the First Honorary Division of the Army, and Chen Xiuwen was appointed Major General Division Commander, and Xu was appointed Colonel of the Army. Military Committee, Chiang Kai-shek."

In the living room, He Yingqin read out the letter of appointment to Huang Wei and Shen Xiuwen who were standing upright. Huang Wei was nothing except a little excited, but Chen Xiuwen widened his eyes and looked incredible.

The First Division of Honor! He knew very well this unit. The First Division of Honor in history was established in the 27th year of the Republic of China. The soldiers who returned to the team were called honorary soldiers. The First Division of Honor was composed of honorary soldiers. Song Xilian was the first division commander and was the most elite unit in the country after the German division division. However, the Rongyi Division was most famous for participating in the Battle of Southern Guangxi in November 28 of the Republic of China after Zheng Dongguo succeeded him as the division commander, and won a major victory. In the 32nd year of the Republic of China, he was incorporated into the Expeditionary Force, entered northern Myanmar and western Yunnan to fight, fighting bloody battles, and exalted our country's power.

Chen Xiuwen did not expect that the Honorary First Division would appear one year in advance, and the first division commander actually fell on his head.

"Restoration, the Commissioner has high expectations for you. Don't let the Commissioner down for your expectations." He Yingqin personally handed over the commission's letter of appointment to Chen Xiuwen and said kindly.

This time, He Yingqin came to issue the letter of appointment in person, and the most important thing was to show kindness to Chen Xiuwen. First, after the meeting last night, he specifically persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to be directly under the Third War Zone, rather than being incorporated into the 15th Army, which suffered heavy losses. Secondly, and most importantly, given the relationship between Chen Xiuwen and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in the United States, he must maintain a good relationship with Chen Xiuwen.

He Yingqin was in a hurry and told them that there would be a small celebration meeting in the evening before leaving. At that time, the committee will personally award them several other meritorious generals.

Until He Yingqin left, Chen Xiuwen felt like he was in a dream. Not only did he become the major general commander of the famous honorary First Division, but his military rank was also the army colonel from the original major. This means that he did not serve as the commander of the division. As long as he did not retire, his identity would always be the army colonel. Nowadays, many generals from the first or second phase of Huangpu, although they were all the ranks of major generals or even lieutenant generals, but those were just ranks of office, and most of the ranks of lieutenant colonels or colonels were only lieutenant colonels or colonels. Like his elder brothers Chen Xiuwen, Hu Zongnan, Yu Jishi and others became lieutenant generals, which was almost rare among Huangpu students.

"Luan Resurrection, congratulations, not only has he become a general. The first honorary division, tsk, it sounds exciting." Huang Wei smiled and patted Chen Xiuwen, who was still standing at the door in a daze.

Chen Xiuwen then reacted and smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior, I have not yet congratulated you on being promoted to Lieutenant General of the 18th Army."

While Huang Wei thanked him, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Luanfu, although we haven't known each other for a long time, we really hit it off in Songjiang for a few days. Unfortunately, we can't work together in the future."

Chen Xiuwen nodded silently. Although the order did not specify the troops directly under the newly established Honorary First Division, it can be seen from Minister He personally issued the letter of appointment that it would never be Chen Cheng's civil engineering system. To be honest, Chen Xiuwen was quite willing to work with Huang Wei seriously.

Shortly after changing into brand new general uniforms, the colonel who sent them to pick them up last night came to pick them up to the chairman's residence on Huangpu Road. When he saw the two men's military ranks on the seal, he was not surprised at all, but smiled and said to them: "Congratulations."

Qilu is not unfamiliar to Chen Xiuwen. As early as when he was studying at the Central Military Academy, this two-story small western-story building located behind the military academy was a holy place in the hearts of all military academy students. Although it was the first time that Chen Xiuwen went to Qilu to officially meet Principal Jiang, he had met twice before. Despite this, somehow, when the Buick car he was riding slowly into the tree-shaded Huangpu Road, as the small western-story building that was vaguely visible in the shade of trees became closer, Chen Xiuwen felt more and more nervous.

However, when he saw Huang Wei sitting beside him, his face was a little flushed and his breathing was a little rapid, he felt a little funny, but his heart slowly calmed down. It seemed that he was not just nervous.

The car stopped steadily at the entrance of Qilu. According to some of the rules of Jinjian explained by the colonel of the attendant's room on the road, the two of them got out of the car and took the initiative to hand over their own guns to the two big guards wearing black Zhongshan suits at the door. Then the colonel led them into Qilu.

"Please wait a moment, two officers."

Qilu is not as big as Chen Xiuwen imagined, and the decoration is relatively simple. The living room is a simple circle of new sofas, and there is no other furniture. The only decoration is to hang a large photo of the founding father Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek on the wall at the door: Sun Yat-sen sat upright in Zhongshan dress, Chiang Kai-shek was wearing a military uniform, wearing a long sword, and stood behind Sun Yat-sen. Above the photo, Sun Yat-sen's handwritten horizontal note: "You must believe in safety and danger in the future, and you must taste the sweet and bitterness when you come."

Chen Xiuwen and Huang Wei did not dare to sit down, but stood in the living room in a standard military standing posture. This problem that Principal Jiang had when meeting his subordinates was well known. Even Minister He and his team, who had to see each other several times a day, are now always very neat military caps.
