Chapter 166: Four Years of Hardening a Sword (Two)

"I said liberation, you are very good at fighting, why are you still so immature? The Kong family is arrogant and domineering, making a fortune in the country, and I know you can't stand it. Don't say you can't stand it, I can't stand it either. Many people can't stand it, and even the principal complains about it. But Kong Xiangxi is the vice president of the Executive Yuan, the minister of finance, and the president of the central bank. It's not something we can afford. Back then, when Seven Star Company bullies our Shen family like this, did my father bear it? Although last time, although the Seven Star Company last time, Isn't it that my father was tolerant of it. Although you humiliated the representative of Qixing Company, you reached the plan of the Ministry of Military Affairs to purchase penicillin in time. Didn’t you do this beautifully? Even your father, your father-in-law and Zeng Lao praised you. Today, how could you offend Miss Kong Er in Qilu? You must know that Miss Kong Er is the wife’s goddaughter and is deeply loved by her wife. Why are you so uneasy?" In the study, Chen Xiude, who had just returned from the attendant room, complained to his younger brother.

Chen Xiuwen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed his face, looking indifferent, but he didn't understand why his elder brother, although he was getting bigger and bigger, was getting more and less courageous.

"Brother, what kind of organization do you think the honorary First Division will be established? Have the plan of the Military and Political Department come out?" After Chen Xiude finished speaking, Chen Xiuwen asked suddenly.

When Chen Xiude heard this, he was stunned and then looked like he couldn't smile bitterly. It turned out that he had said nothing just now that his younger brother didn't listen to a word, but he just cared about his troops first.

"Okay, your wings are hard now. I just said nothing." Chen Xiude waved his hand and sat down angrily. After sitting down in the office for several years, Chen Xiude has gradually transformed from a pure soldier to a politician. He wore a mask all day long, and his true nature was only revealed in front of his family.

Seeing that his elder brother became popular, Chen Xiuwen couldn't sit still. He quickly got up and ran to Chen Xiude, and smiled and said, "Listen, I listened to all the things you said. Actually, I regretted it afterwards and shouldn't be so impulsive. But that guy who was neither male nor female at that time was so annoying. Didn't I just come down from the front line and didn't suppress the fire for a while, so brother, please calm down and I will pay attention in the future."

Looking at Chen Xiuwen's smiling face, Chen Xiude couldn't help laughing: "You kid have become a general, and you haven't been a regular man all day."

"Isn't this at home? Do I have to pretend in front of my elder brother? However, I am definitely not like this in the army. If you don't believe me, go and inquire, none of my fellow men are afraid of me."

"Okay, I know you have a good way to lead troops to fight. However, you still have to remember that you must not be arrogant because of your merits. You are young and have little experience. This time the principal has entrusted you with important tasks. Many eyes are staring at you. If you are not careful, you can attract big things. At that time, you are capable and you really want to fight against Japan, but you will not have the chance." Chen Xiude waved his hand and warned earnestly.

Seeing the elder brother's troublesome advice, Chen Xiuwen had to say solemnly: "Brother, I've recorded it."

Chen Xiude then carefully looked at the younger brother standing in front of him. Since he returned from the battlefield in the temple, his younger brother has become like a different person, killing the Japanese and joining the army. Originally, Chen Xiude wanted to use his influence to take good care of him, but he did not expect that now he has gained a lot of benefits from his younger brother. Even the principal has praised this younger brother in front of him many times, who is one round smaller than him.

"You were seriously injured some time ago, but now you are all recovering, right? Have you not suffered any sequelae?" Chen Xiude asked at Chen Xiuwen with a pity.

"It's okay, six or seven shrapnel pieces, which were not hit by the vital points, were taken out. I have thick skin and rough flesh, and I recover quickly, so I'm fine." Chen Xiuwen patted his chest and said with a smile.

"It's fine. You are already a division commander now. Don't rush up with a gun in the future. Officers, the battalion is about bravery, and above the battalion, you have to rely on here." Chen Xiude pointed to his forehead and said.

Then, Chen Xiude said slowly, "You don't have to worry about the army. The newly established First Honor Division was personally appointed by the principal. The Sixth Regiment of the Second Brigade, four A-types, and each brigade is equipped with a supplementary regiment. Restoration, the principal is really nothing to say to you this time. You must do it well. Remember what I said to you before. It is important to establish a good relationship, but you must not fall too deeply. You must remember that you are loyal to the leader and fight against the Japanese devils. Also, you must pay attention to your words and deeds in the future. If the principal pays attention to a person, he will see many things clearly." Finally, Chen Xiude looked at Chen Xiuwen with deep meaning and said.

While Chen Xiuwen was happy, he suddenly became angry. He knew what his elder brother was referring to, and everything about him was probably under the surveillance of the Military Control Commission. Fortunately, he was devoted to fighting the Japanese and had no contact with them. However, thinking of this, Chen Xiuwen remembered that since the Double 12 Incident last year, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had negotiated the establishment of an anti-Japanese united front, but there seemed to be no movement to this day. In Shen Xiuwen's memory, the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was the reorganization of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi into the Eighth Route Army, and the guerrillas in southern Jiangxi were reorganized into the New Fourth Army.

"Brother, this battle has reached this point. How is the negotiations with him?" Chen Xiuwen asked carefully.

Chen Xiude looked at Chen Xiuwen unexpectedly and frowned and said, "The negotiations have been carried out for five rounds. The adaptation of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi has been initially reached. It is planned to be reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army and the organization of the three B Divisions. It is just the remnants of Jiangnan. There is also the need for the organization of the First Army and the Third Division. The current differences are here."

"Isn't it just an army? Isn't it all done with them?" Chen Xiuwen had no idea about the organization of the New Fourth Army back then. He only knew that after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Eighth Route Army had developed to millions of people, and the New Fourth Army had hundreds of thousands. Even if you don't give them the organization, they will also develop on their own.

"It's not easy to talk about. The principal also has the principal's concerns." Chen Xiude sighed and said, "They are no better than other local forces. They have their own opinions, and their development speed is terrifying. In Hunan and Shanghai, these lessons made the principal beware of them."

In later generations, Chen Xiuwen only knew about the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup. Only after coming to this era did he have a real understanding of the history of this period. When the Northern Expedition Army was fighting on the front line, they engaged in the peasant movement in Hunan, completely replicating the Soviet model at that time. In addition, they also had an armed uprising in Shanghai, trying to control the economic center of Shanghai. However, Chiang Kai-shek at that time wanted to stabilize the people's hearts internally and seek international support from the outside. These actions were obviously contrary to the rules. Therefore, it eventually led to a purge of the party. At that time, it was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong, and each was considering it for his own interests.

"However, this time we signed a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union, and I guess the principal will eventually make concessions. In the face of national crisis, we can only jointly abandon past grudges and defend against foreign enemies." Chen Xiude continued.

"The two sides have fought for ten years. Can they trust each other? Besides, we have killed so many of them again." Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but snorted.

Hearing Chen Xiuwen's words, Chen Xiude frowned and said, "Warning is inevitable. Besides, their policies were too extreme and radical. If our family like us were on their side, we would probably have no one in this world. Moreover, their attitude was very clear, and Director Zhou clearly stated that he would give up his past grudges and always be on the outside."

Chen Xiuwen nodded silently. Although his elder brother spared no effort to participate in the suppression of the Communist Party, he could hear that at this moment he still hoped that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could reconcile.

"Brother, are you still many of your classmates there?" Chen Xiuwen thought of Chen Geng again and asked with a smile.

"There are not only many classmates, but also many teachers. Director Zhou and Chen Geng came to Nanjing for negotiations this time." Chen Xiude, who evoked memories, showed a smile on his face.

"Chen Geng has also come to Nanjing? Brother, I remember that you and Chen Geng had a good relationship back then." Chen Xiuwen said unexpectedly.

"It's not only very good. He and I were not only classmates, but also brothers. Jiang Wushan was also a pity that Wushan died in the internal struggles. Fortunately, Chen Geng could survive until now. But even if we can meet, we will not be as good as before." Chen Xiude said with great regret while being happy.

Although Chen Xiuwen did not know the name Jiang Wushan in later generations, he came to this era and knew that he was the leader of the famous Huangpu Three Heroes and was highly valued by Jiang Zhongzheng. But later he died in the internal anti-counterfeiting. Thinking of this made Chen Xiuwen feel chilled. If he chose that path in the future, would he be like Jiang Wushan? He really couldn't imagine it.

Before dinner, Chen Xiude was called away by an emergency call again. The war is still continuing. As the head of the first room and second team of the attendant responsible for the fight, Chen Xiude was no longer his own.

The four women who went out shopping came back too. Chen Xiuwen, who was sitting in the study reading, heard the laughter and joy in the living room, and couldn't help but sigh that women of all ages were the same passion for shopping. Especially his sister Chen Xiuping, a noble lady who lived in Shanghai for many years, had indeed been so stifled by her for half a year in Wanxian.

When Chen Xiuwen walked out of the study, Yu Wenwan, who was holding a piece of fine silk to gesture on her body, saw Chen Xiuwen, and his face turned red and he quickly lowered his head. The little girl Zeng Jianing noticed this detail and couldn't help but curl her lips. Then she changed into a smile, ran towards Chen Xiuwen, and said coquettishly: "Brother Shen, you will attend the celebration party later. I will take your car to go with you. You promised to introduce Song Xilian and General Huang Wei for an exclusive interview for me, don't forget."

The celebration ceremony was held at the famous Fuchang Hotel in Nanjing. When the Ministry of Military Affairs came to Chen Xiude Mansion to pick up Chen Xiuwen, Chen Xiuwen had already asked several women at home to clean up their new clothes, a shiny armed belt, wearing a Zhongzheng sword, and the Yunhui medal awarded last time, and she looked energetic and handsome.

When I arrived at Fuchang Hotel, I just walked out of the car door, and there were a slight spotlight. There were already many reporters here. Among the five generals awarded this time, Chen Xiuwen had the best record and the youngest, so he was naturally particularly favored by reporters. There were also many foreign reporters. However, Chen Xiuwen was just beaten by his elder brother and was still cautious in his words and actions. When facing reporters' questions, he smiled and did not answer them.

First of all, the award ceremony was held. On behalf of Chairman Jiang, Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin awarded the Blue Sky White Sun Medal to Song Xilian, the new commander of the 78th Army, Wang Jingjiu, the commander of the 71st Army, Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 18th Army, Huang Wei, the commander of the 18th Army, and Chen Xiuwen, the commander of the honorary 1st Division.

Those attending today's celebration were representatives from all walks of life, important members of the National Government and many military figures. The celebration dinner is the most popular Western buffet nowadays. Various pastries and food are placed on the long tables on both sides, and special people deliver wine. Obviously, the people attending the banquet did not come for food. They talked in groups of wine glasses in groups of three or three, and reporters came to take photos and interviews from time to time. This is the so-called upper class society in the Republic of China.

However, Chen Xiuwen was not interested in this. While the reporters were surrounding Minister He and other senior government officials, he came to the long table where food was placed. Lobster, burger steak, French foie gras, and American roasted chicken. Even Chen Xiuwen, who was born in a wealthy family, couldn't help but be amazed at the luxury of the cocktail party when he saw this. Moreover, there were no meals every day in the past two months, and his mouth was already fading out.

It is rare, and this kind of opportunity will be even less in the future. How could Chen Xiuwen, who has always believed that it is a bastard to take advantage of it and miss such an opportunity. He picked up a plate and ate it on the table. A lobster, five or six pieces of foie gras, and two pieces of steak, and then entered Chen Xiuwen's stomach in a blink of an eye.

The waiter who served on the side was stunned when he saw this. If Chen Xiuwen had not been wearing the Major General's uniform, wearing the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal and Ribbon that had just been awarded, he would have thought he had come out of nowhere and came here to cheat food and drink.

"Luanfu, it turns out that you are here, so let's find it easy." Just as Chen Xiuwen was dealing with a roasted American roast chicken with sesame oil, he was patted heavily on his shoulder. When he looked back, it turned out that Song Xilian and Sun Yuanliang were holding wine glasses and smiling at him.

"Sir Song, the throne. Oh no, it's time to call you a military seat." Chen Xiuwen quickly put down the plate in his hand and stood attentively and saluted.

"Oh, yes. Don't do this, kid. Now you are not a master yourself." Sun Yuanliang waved his hand with a smile.

"Liberation, your reporter sister is really hard to deal with. This is not an exclusive interview, it is simply a review. I almost found the eighth generation of ancestors." Song Xilian said with a wry smile.

"Sorry, Chief Song is really embarrassed. I'm really embarrassed by her. I can't help it. Is it over?" Chen Xiuwen apologized repeatedly.
