4 pm!

A lieutenant colonel staff officer came to the hotel and was ordered to take Tang Dao to meet the supreme commander and commander of the Second War Zone.

However, it was not going to the theater headquarters, but the small courtyard where he currently lives alone.

The courtyard is located in a small alley south of Linfen City, which is slightly quiet.

However, the security was extremely strict. Even if the lieutenant colonel officer of the theater command of the Shanxi Sui Army led the way, and there was a guard squad following him. He was still strictly investigated by three passes along the way. He was forced to wait for ten minutes when he arrived at the entrance of the alley. He called inside and the guards at the entrance of the alley moved the roadblock and put the Tang Dao in.

When meeting the boss, let alone a little colonel like Tang Dao, even the general surnamed Fu, who is the second-person of the Jinsui Army, all his followers have to stay outside the alley.

Of course, anyone can understand it for the sake of safety and caution during the war, but the man was never domineering. There was a teahouse outside the alley, which provided some tea and snacks for those followers to rest. The only thing that made Tang Dao curled his lips was that all the consumption in the teahouse had to be paid by himself.

"You go there and wait for me, don't be careful. You should eat and drink. If everything goes well, someone will be responsible for paying the bill." Tang Dao glanced at the teahouse with simple decoration but absolutely expensive prices, and said to Xia Dayu and Peng Chong.

It turns out that the routines that are being used in the future are going to be a big deal in this era, and Jin Province’s old slap is indeed well-deserved.

However, Tang Dao was confident that his father, who brought 20,000 taels of gold, was here. Jinsheng always stings with cliffs and can support himself in the sky. His subordinates' small consumption is a ball!

Obviously, it is better to have no books than to believe in books. Tang Dao was obviously deceived by history books.

Jin Province, a remote countryside that requires almost nothing but coal, can make this old man develop into the top five economic province in China. It is not enough to be a slut, and he must be thick-skinned enough.

In that quiet courtyard, Tang Dao was not treated with special treatment. He waited until 5 o'clock in the small living room. A middle-aged woman walked in and looked at Tang Dao who was getting up for a long time: "Captain Tang is indeed a powerful general in the army. He is really a handsome talent. No wonder my elder brother favors you. He specially ordered me to come and welcome you."

"Fifth sister is acclaimer! Tang Dao is ashamed!" Tang Dao immediately knew the identity of the woman when he saw that she claimed that she was the eldest brother.

People who are in Jin Province know that the old man in Shanxi has four great kings under his command, Fu, Yang, Shang, and Xu. The 300,000 troops of the Jinsui army will be controlled by them. However, the only one person in the family can help him take charge of the internal affairs. Even if he wants to see the old man himself, the one who nodded and agreed. Although he has no soldiers under his command, he is the old man's chief official of the internal affairs, and his power is no less than any of the four great kings, and he is even better.

This person may be the middle-aged woman who is not outstanding but can make people feel like a spring breeze. The old man from Shanxi called him the cousin of the fifth sister.

Seeing Tang Dao telling her identity in one sentence, the middle-aged woman was not surprised. She was not a secret among the upper class of Jin Province. It would be incredible if she was qualified to meet the old man but still didn't know her existence.

However, Tang Dao's voice "Fifth Sister" made her smile, and her impression of Tang Dao was even better.

For men, time is maturity, experience and story. Young men have nothing but the aura of hormones, but for women who cherish their face more, they are thieves. Time stole the most precious thing they once belonged to.

Women will also have what time has to do with men, but if you say you can exchange it with youth, men may hesitate, but women will definitely choose to be willing as soon as possible.

After all, having a youthful and toned body and a full face with apple muscles, and then tasting the rolling waist and increasingly loose face is definitely a disaster-like mood.

In addition to being called the fifth sister in front of the old man in Shanxi, the fifth sister, who is already in the middle age, has long been used to being respected as an official position or a respectful title like "Fifth Aunt". It is the first time in recent years that a young man as old as Tang Dao calls him a sister.

Tang Dao was only in his early 20s, and the sound of "Fifth Sister" instantly pulled him into a peer, and his identity as Tang Dao was not abrupt at this time.

You should know that Tang Dao is the actual colonel commander who was clearly ordered by the Ministry of Military Affairs. As long as he becomes a major general, even the old man from Shanxi who is more than 50 years old cannot ignore his existence.

"Haha! Commander Tang is really good at speaking, so he called Commander Tang "sister". Today I really hope to keep you for dinner. Brother looks in a good mood today." The middle-aged woman replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your advice from the fifth sister. I sincerely hope that after I report to Chief Yan, General Yan will be able to maintain his good mood." Tang Dao picked up the suitcase in his hand and replied with a smile.

Walking in from the living room and passing through two small courtyards in succession, Tang Dao finally met the boss who had been famous in history for 20 years.

As for what the first impression of the boss Tang Dao is, it is no longer important to look like wearing military uniforms and glasses. It can only be said that since the first meeting, Tang Dao has been constantly correcting his perception of the boss.

It is said that hearing is better than seeing him at first sight. No matter how much you write it in a book, it is not as good as meeting him.

The man who stood at the entrance of the study to greet Tang Dao himself from the first moment of meeting, it was difficult for Tang Dao to feel disgusted with him.

It is said that the biggest advantage of this old man who can stand firm in Jin Province is that he knows people and entrusted with his relatives and fellow villagers as the core. He spared no effort to promote generals from other provinces. Facts have proved that he is very accurate in employing people. No matter that war, there were very few rebel generals in the Jinsui Army. He firmly held the military power and managed in Jin Province for more than 20 years without having some skills.

But when Tang Dao had come into contact with him face to face, he realized that if he just said that he knew people and was good at placing people, he really looked down on this boss of the Republic of China.

He has a very high emotional intelligence and a strong ability to deal with people. It actually makes Tang Dao's time travelers who know his life have a feeling that later generations have a low evaluation of him. That is really good.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hello, Chief Yan!" Tang Dao put down his suitcase and first gave the 50-year-old man a standard military salute.

This is a standard opening remark from a subordinate who meets his superiors. Tang Dao is considered to be a regular person, but it is also the most suitable one.

After all, the Four-Entertainment Group is not the direct line of this person. Tang Dao is separated from this person by several levels and has no social relationship in the past. The deliberate enthusiasm makes people feel hypocritical, which is better than ordinary.

"Please, Commander Tang, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The old man from Shanxi showed a smile on his originally serious face. After raising his hand to return the gift, he invited Tang Dao into the house.

After the two of them sat down, the fifth sister brought the tea in person, but the opening remark of the old man in Shanxi was slightly beyond Tang Dao's surprise.

"Captain Tang! When you come to Taihang Mountain, you have given the Japanese a warning, but it has added a lot of glory to the old man's face!"

The old man from Shanxi seemed to have completely forgotten the scene that happened at the entrance of the city gate in the morning, but directly praised Tang Dao, and used this as a topic to talk about the battlefield in eastern Jin Dynasty with Tang Dao.

After hearing Tang Dao personally report some details of the Shentouling Battle, this person did not underestimate Tang Dao that the Four Lines Regiment was just a matter of implementing a surplus formation, but instead gave the 921st Division a very high evaluation according to Tang Dao's words.

"The 80th Army has indeed made great contributions to the war in our Jin Province in the past six months. Unlike the Central Army who bullyed the weak, they have specialized in hard bones. The parallel passes and Shentouling last month have all demonstrated the prestige and morale of our Chinese soldiers.

A few days ago, I wanted to invite my old friend to Linfen to gather and ask them what they need in the Eighty Army. I will do my best to satisfy the old man.

You came this time, and the defense zone of your four-way regiment is close to them. You have some social interactions with the Japanese invaders on weekdays. When you leave, you will bring me some gifts to Commander Liu and Commander Cheng, and you will say that you will thank the 13 million people for their sacrifices and efforts for the 13 million people in Jin.

This place in Jin Province! I have been there for more than 20 years. I know that the mountains and rivers are bad, and the people are poor, but geographically, they belong to my northern China and cannot be lost! The old man and the 13 million people in Jin Province will surely defend it to the death!"

The old man said the last sentence, his eyes widened and his thick eyebrows stood up. If he had seen him for the first time, he might have been excited and unable to do so.

Fortunately, although Tang Dao is still the passionate boy, he has experienced both life and death and has been a human being for two lifetimes, but he is more transparent about human hearts and human nature.

The old man from Shanxi is not a deliberate performance, he has his sincerity.

However, his defense is not just aimed at the Japanese.

What he said is really every word is intriguing and intriguing.

First of all, his words were so high that he did not refute Tang Dao's face that he said lies in front of him, and without showing any trace, he still said that he was still the king of Jin Province. Although he had not left Jin Province, his eyes and ears were still everywhere in Jin Province. Just the hidden tricks of the Four Army Group and the 921st Division, he really didn't want to hide them from him.

In fact, Captain Cheng and Tang Dao also talked about this. There are so many eyeliners arranged by this big boss in Licheng and Lucheng earlier. It is very difficult to hide the simple one from the top, but it is very difficult to completely cover the boss's eyes.

However, both Tang Dao and Brigade Commander Cheng made a judgment. Not to mention that this person doesn’t know how close the relationship between the two armies is, even if he knows that with the principal, he may not only be blind and deaf, but also slap and applaud behind him.

During the Central Plains War, this person who had not changed his mind quickly, probably was destroyed by the principal. Although he was given the power to continue to command Jin Province, he never stopped infiltration and disintegration of Jin Province that day.

Even when the war was so tense, I really thought that the more than 100,000 troops entering Jin Province were just here to support the war of resistance in Jin Province? If this force is also weak, it will be replaced by a command, and the more than 100,000 troops will be his confidant capital.

Losing the base camp and losing the army and losing its name, the best ending for this person is just to be a rich man who lives in this life.

Tang Dao is seen from history books, and Brigade Commander Cheng learned about his division commander. How could this old man know that he was so cunning? He was also always guarding against the principal's men. Compared with this, the Eighty Army, which also put pressure and threatened him, was much less harmful.

The two powers are the least likely to be injured, and this person chose this very wisely.

The second intention contained in these words, of course, is also the most important intention, to tell Tang Dao his attitude: I don’t care about how you and the 80th Army are in conflict with the old man, as long as I don’t care about this acre of three-point land like someone’s direct troops. This is the property I have worked hard to capture. Whoever dares to move will have to worry about him!

This is the real old fox!

When Tang Dao came to this era, he had met many great figures. Apart from several commanders in the army and the commander of the First War Zone, the one who gave Tang Dao the greatest pressure should be the general commander in Xuzhou.

The first-level general was also a superb figure who led the side, but he gave Tang Dao a completely different feeling from this one.

That person is more arrogant and powerful without anger, giving people a sense of mastery. When he gets along with him, Tang Dao is more about having something to say and not being so tired when communicating.

And this person, by using Tang Dao, is better to say that he is a politician than a war zone commander, and he is also a veteran politician who has been immersed in the political arena for decades.

On the surface, the words he said were really literal, reflecting the praise and care of a top war zone chief for his subordinate troops and reflecting the determination of a Chinese soldier to defend his homeland.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not the case at all.

No wonder this person once said: I can’t fight, but I manage people’s business, as long as I have someone who can fight!

Just a few meanings hidden in this sentence, saying that he is just an economic boss, is really too downplayed to him. Letting him become the president of the State Council is definitely much better than someone who is still in that position.

Tang Dao looked at the fifty-year-old man whose remaining power seemed to have not yet disappeared and was immersed in his emotions, knowing that he was waiting for his reply.

If Tang Dao didn't take him or didn't understand what he meant at all, then today's conversation would basically end here.

An old man from Shanxi will not waste time for a fool who can't understand even a word, nor will he be fooled with the little colonel who understands but pretends not to understand, unless Tang Dao one day becomes the general of the commander of the army.

This is qualification. In this chaotic era, strength is qualification, not just ability.

I have been lying in the power field for decades, but who has never seen this talent? Before I grew up, talent was limited to talent.

"I would like to express my gratitude to Commander Yan for his kindness. Tang Dao hereby assures you that there must be a lot of bullets to deliver Chief Yan's gift to Commander Cheng!" Tang Dao stood up and bowed solemnly.

"Huh? How do you know that the gift I want to give must be arms?" The old man from Shanxi came out of his quite excited mood, and a little playful look appeared on his face.

"To be honest, my four-way delegation came to Taihang Mountain here. Meng Cheng's brigade commander took care of him and found a mountain garrison and evacuated his original garrison of the 683rd Brigade. I personally admire Captain Cheng's character and demeanor.

As far as I know, the 683rd Brigade was short of guns and bullets, and this has fought two major battles in a row. Although some weapons and materials were seized, with your wisdom, how could you not know that destruction is much easier than construction? This can be used more than snatched back!

Once your golden mouth opens, Captain Cheng doesn't know. If I send him a telegram now, I might be happy!" Tang Dao replied.

"You kid, no wonder you can give the Japanese a headache. This cleverness alone is amazing!" An old man from Shanxi smiled when he heard Tang Dao say this.

Tang Dao not only took on his slightest, but also took on it perfectly. He admitted with an almost honest attitude that he had a good relationship with the 683 Brigade. With this alone, he completely eliminated his relationship with that person.

Who is the principal most afraid of? Apart from the Eighty Army, there is no one else, the old man from Shanxi is just his defeated general.

As long as Tang Dao said that he would join forces with Chief Cheng, he would be destined to be a member of his camp again.

Who is the person the old man in Shanxi fears the most? The Japanese are the ones who want his territory and life. The next one is naturally the one who is in charge of the country's title. As long as it is not his person, everything will be easy to say next.

Of course, Tang Dao also reserved it in his words, only admitting that he has a good relationship with the 683rd Brigade, but he will never say that he has any connection with the 921st Division and even the top leaders of the 80th Army.

The generals in the army have friendship on the battlefield because of fighting side by side, which is the most normal thing. Just like Tang Dao and the 67th Army or the 128th Division, people are emotional creatures, and even if the Heavenly King comes, I can’t stop the friendship between them, right?

What's more, it's a superb figure like Captain Cheng who can get along with both sides. It's strange if Tang Dao said he doesn't like it.

But if Tang Dao had a connection with senior figures of the 80th Army, it would be completely distorted. Even the old man from Shanxi who wanted to give the principal a pot of cutting off the firewood was probably going to be wondering. The 80th Army was already very powerful. If you give them a four-line regiment, wouldn’t it be a big increase in strength?

So, why don’t Tang Dao’s answer be almost perfect? ​​The Four Lines Regiment neither turned to that person nor said that he was "intimate" with the Eighty Army, weakening his old opponents and not enhancing new threats. I am still the boss in Jin Province. This situation is what the old man in Shanxi wants most.
