Chapter 554 is about to be promoted
The end of the Wuhan Battle is a major turning point for the entire 318th Army. In the past year, they have participated in two large-scale battles and achieved impressive results. The 318th Regiment has also been successfully upgraded to the 318th Army. Although the Wuhan Battle failed, people will always remember this iron-blooded brigade.
As soon as the Wuhan Battle ended, Chairman Jiang couldn't wait to evacuate the 318 Army from the battlefield in Tongcheng. At this time, the 318 Army was placed here, which made Chairman Jiang, who was surrounded by the Japanese army, very satisfied with the performance of the 318 Army in Tongcheng. The first thing he did when he returned to Chongqing was to reward him according to his merits. This time, Chairman Jiang was really moved.
The whole of China is under the rule of the National Government. Chairman Jiang felt that the time to upgrade Wang Mingyu to a second-level general in the army is very ripe. Even Hu Zongnan has benefited from it this time and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the group army. It took less than a few months to pass the time. Originally, Hu Zongnan was just the commander of the first army, but after more than three months, he became the commander-in-chief of the group army.
Hu Zongnan had to sigh at the differences in life experiences. At this moment, he had no hostility towards the 318th Army and even Wang Mingyu. Perhaps Hu Zongnan could not have any hostility in front of such a strong man. In his eyes, it was better to have more friends than an enemy. It was really not as good as a friend. Wang Mingyu could not just stop at the second-level general of the Army. First-level general was almost a foregone conclusion.
Facing a future Army first-class general, how could Hu Zongnan not have a good relationship with him? Judging from the current situation of the 318th Army, once Wang Mingyu sincerely surrenders to Chairman Jiang, perhaps his position as the prince of Hu Zongnan in Huangpu will be wise. Although he can fight, Hu Zongnan knows that Chairman Jiang will definitely not be happy with his two proud disciples fighting.
Another main reason is that Hu Zongnan and Wang Mingyu are both fellow Ningbo people and Chairman Jiang. As the saying goes, fellow villagers are crying when they see fellow villagers. Although Hu Zongnan is not that level, with this relationship, coupled with his deliberate performance, it is easy to remind people that Wang Mingyu and he are people wearing the same pair of pants.
The political struggle is about taking advantage of the situation. The reason why Hu Zongnan made good friends with Wang Mingyu is very simple, that is, taking advantage of Wang Mingyu's current strength, Chairman Jiang is currently the most popular celebrity in his heart. If you want to say Hu Zongnan is second, maybe no one dares to call him the first, but now it is different. He used to be the only one, but now he is a Gemini constellation. Hu Zongnan decided to have a good talk with Wang Mingyu.
What excuses are used for talking about anything. This time, Chairman Jiang decided to promote Wang Mingyu to second-level general of the army, so that Hu Zongnan could notify him. Although Chairman Jiang always asked Hu Zongnan to beware of the 318th Army, Hu Zongnan had been here for so long and did not see the 318th Army's rebellion a little bit. They fought the Japanese with the type of life.
As the deputy commander-in-chief of the 318th Army, Hu Zongnan has a very famous reputation in the National Government. Originally, Hu Zongnan was a popular disciple in front of Chairman Jiang, but now he is gilding in the army of another proud disciple of Chairman Jiang. It can be seen that Chairman Jiang valued him Hu Zongnan quickly walked to the rest area where Wang Mingyu was.
The terrain of Dabie Mountain is uneven, which is very conducive to the hiding of the troops. At present, the 318th Army is docking at a temporary foothold in the Dabie Mountains for rest. The Japanese army only came to harass each other from time to time. However, during the rest, the 318th Army had already built all the air defense facilities, and the Japanese planes could only circle with symbolic symbolism.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Hu Zongnan, the deputy commander-in-chief, asked outside the door to see Wang Mingyu's guards entered Wang Mingyu's room and saluted Wang Mingyu.
Wang Mingyu raised his eyebrows slightly and said: Oh, please please Deputy Commander-in-Chief Hu. Wang Mingyu doesn’t know what Hu Zongnan is coming. Naturally, he must deal with it carefully at this moment, because he is preparing for a trip to the United States and is now studying their troops’ foothold. It is very likely that Hu Zongnan should be used. Now, there is no harm in being more polite now.
Haha, Mr. Wang, I'm still so energetic after not seeing each other for a few days. Hu is really impressed. Hu Zongnan did not salute each other and Wang Mingyu, but instead bowed.
Commander-in-Chief Hu was polite. He was used to Wang Mingyu staying in the 318th Army and asked politely, but he obviously regarded Hu Zongnan as a guest in his posture.
Hu Zongnan didn't care. He didn't really regard the 318th Army as his own army. He just came to overdo it. If Wang Mingyu died, maybe he might have really taken over the 318th Army, but now there is nothing to say about it. His current identity is just gilded and he has no other thoughts.
Hu Zongnan smiled and said: I have learned about the military appearance and discipline of the 318th Army. When I arrive at the army, everything will be based on the training standards of our 318th Army. I still don’t believe that I can’t fix a good army. At that time, I hope Commander-in-Chief Wang will help Hu.
Wang Mingyu smiled and said: Oh, Commander-in-Chief Hu is going to be promoted, so I want to congratulate Commander-in-Chief Hu here. Listening to Commander-in-Chief Hu, it is obvious that he is going to be promoted to be promoted at this time. Wang Mingyu is naturally more polite. Maybe he will use it in the future. Besides, he knows that Hu Zongnan is a celebrity of Chairman Jiang who has been unchanged.
Hu Zongnan's smile did not diminish. His mood was indeed very good at this moment. Although he did not become an army general this time, he had overcome a hurdle that he became the second Huangpu and the Central Military Academy and became the commander-in-chief of the army. He was originally the first in history, but now with Wang Mingyu, he can only be the second child.
Hu Zongnan smiled and said: It's not Commander-in-Chief Wang, we are happy together. As Hu Zongnan said that, he took out a telegram and handed it to Wang Mingyu, and then continued: Congratulations to Commander-in-Chief Wang for being promoted to the second-level general of the National Revolutionary Army. He is really envious. Indeed, Hu Zongnan envies Wang Mingyu. He really needs skills by improving his military merits.
Hu Zongnan knew very well that Wang Mingyu's military achievements were in the battle sequence. Even if he was promoted to a first-level general in the army, he was actually more than enough. However, Chairman Jiang divided his personal interests and collective interests into the 318th Regiment into the 318th Army. Wang Mingyu was just a lieutenant general. Not only were there many lieutenant generals, but there were quite a lot of them.
Wang Mingyu was stunned when he heard Hu Zongnan's words, and then he understood the reason. Chairman Jiang would never improve himself well. Lieutenant General and General were one word different, but there was a world of difference. If Lieutenant General was still a senior general, then the General was almost the core leadership of the National Government. This was almost a qualitative leap.
Wang Mingyu was born in the Central Military Academy and was very good at being. As long as he did not make a big mistake, he was promoted to a first-class general in the army, which was just a matter of time. Now it is the war era. With Wang Mingyu's strength, it was simply a piece of cake. People only think how long he could become a first-class general. No one doubted whether he could become a first-class general.
Wang Mingyu looked at the telegram in his hand and said with a smile: My promotion is like taking a plane, haha, the principal means to let me
The principal means that you will go to Chongqing directly, and then accept the reception from the commission. This promotion will probably attract the attention of a lot of people. The principal definitely wants Commander-in-Chief Wang to be promoted to General of the Army. After you are proud of your success, you will be my old commander. Hu Zongnan said half-jokingly.
Wang Mingyu smiled and said: You are my old senior and a celebrity around the principal. Isn’t Commander-in-Chief Hu saying this abolished Mingyu? Wang Mingyu doesn’t want to attract too many people’s attention in his heart. This time he needs to do a lot of things for a long rest and has no time to go back and forth, but Chairman Jiang’s face is not something he doesn’t give me if he doesn’t give me any.
Hu Zongnan said: I'll just shout you brother, brother, we're a fellow villager, and we're the same fellow villager as the principal, you know that the principal treats people from his hometown very well. Take me as an example. If I weren't a fellow villager, maybe I'm still a leader in a grassroots army now.
Wang Mingyu nodded undeniably, and Hu Zongnan continued: Brother, I tell you the truth. Helping the principal is actually to help yourself. The world is always the principal's world.
Wang Mingyu smiled slightly. Hu Zongnan came this time as a lobbyist for Chairman Jiang. It seems that what Chairman Jiang wants is Wang Mingyu's attitude. In fact, Wang Mingyu can easily deceive Hu Zongnan. Moreover, Wang Mingyu has this confidence and will definitely not be able to see it, but why did Wang Mingyu not agree for a long time?
It turned out that at the beginning, in order to gain a great degree of freedom, Wang Mingyu listened to Chairman Jiang's orders at the same time, so that Chairman Jiang could not grasp Wang Mingyu's thoughts, and the military merits of the 318th Army soared, so that even Chairman Jiang was a little jealous of the 318th Army. Once the 318th Army rebelled, wouldn't Chairman Jiang become a sinner for the ages?
At that time, Chairman Jiang had doubts about the 318th Army. The stronger the army, the more likely the people who lead them would be to be confused. If there was no such thing as this, Chairman Jiang actually didn't have so much thought to think about it. Unfortunately, there is always a person who is like a thorn in his throat. Chairman Jiang was originally a suspicious person, and the reverse consideration was too normal.
Hu Zongnan is now a lobbyist for Chairman Jiang. Obviously, he has seen the opportunity. Even if Wang Mingyu agreed, he has no doubts. There is one advantage that Wang Mingyu promised now, that is, this trip to the United States has almost passed smoothly. Through the intermission period, he went abroad to visit his old father. This is human nature.
Wang Mingyuxun made a decision, so he said: The students are always the principal's students. Please rest assured that I will go with Brother Hu during my trip to Chongqing. When we meet the principal, we will talk about it. Now, I am still considering where to go to the army.
Hu Zongnan nodded happily when he heard this, but he didn't expect Wang Mingyu to be so happy. Of course, Hu Zongnan also knew that when he talked to Chairman Jiang, he must not tell the truth. Of course, he must raise his credit to make Chairman Jiang look higher. Although he does not have the ability to fight, he can make Wang Mingyu devote himself to the principal.
Wang Mingyu is considering many issues now. The main reason why Wang Mingyu wants to pull the troops to the southwest is that he is afraid that Chairman Jiang will be confused about the expeditionary army. The matter is secondly. Most of the forces are in the north, mainly concentrated in Northeast China and Northwest China. Wang Mingyu will never pull his troops to the north.
Although it temporarily hit the Japanese army's arrogance, the Battle of Wuhan did not fight the Japanese army after all. The historical significance of the acquisition seems to be very brilliant, but in fact there is no substantial meaning. At least now that the Japanese army has won the victory of the Battle of Wuhan, they are still quite arrogant, and most of the Japanese army will not consider those complex issues.
This is the same as it is. Most of the people in the country carry guns and pay. If you ask them to consider the significance of the Battle of Wuhan, what is the difference between letting a person who doesn’t know how to see it? So most of the Japanese army think that they are invincible. Of course, in a few years, they will feel the difficulty of the war of aggression against China, but it is definitely not now.
In other words, the government is still a nominal leader. Now it is not the time to turn against the government. If it turns against each other, wouldn’t it be that the Wulizhidi Land always advocates the anti-Japanese national united front? Now they will never destroy the anti-Japanese national united front without authorization. The secret is done secretly and the surface article must be done well.
In fact, many generals within the government are people, but no one admits that this is a political issue, not a simple betrayal issue. In the next few years, it is definitely not the best time to make conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Although Wang Mingyu also knew about the southern Anhui Incident in later generations, the government is now in great power. They can destroy it, but they must not destroy it.
Wang Mingyu looked at Hu Zongnan's departure back and just smiled quickly. Although he had done some things in this world, they were not necessarily what he thought.
