Chapter 928: Catch the Wind Banquet (asking for a monthly ticket)
Just as the three siblings were guessing, Lin Zhen pointed at Lin Mucheng and introduced to Ning Zhiheng: "This is Mucheng."
Then he reached out and signaled, "Ning Zhiheng! Director of Operations 2 of the Military Intelligence Bureau is also my age-lost friend. You are alumni, so you will be closer in the future."
Lin Zhen's words immediately shocked Lin Mucheng. He did not expect that the old friends in his father's words would be the top management of the Military Affairs Bureau, which was completely beyond his expectations.
He knew very well about his father. As a conservative and old soldier, his father has always had no good feelings for those spies who engage in intelligence. He even despises and guards in his bones. He has also expressed this attitude to himself many times in private. But today it seems that in his attitude towards Ning Zhiheng, he treats his own people completely without any far-fetchedness or disguise at all. What happened?
Lin Shulan was even more surprised. Although she had never met Ning Zhiheng, she knew a lot about Ning Zhiheng from Wei Liangbi. This junior brother of Wei Liangbi, the two of them had a close relationship. They supported each other in the Military Affairs Bureau and advanced and retreated together, better than brothers. They didn't expect that they would suddenly come to the door today. Moreover, their parents' attitude towards him was kind and natural. They couldn't help but open their eyes wide for a moment. Looking at Ning Zhiheng for no reason, why are they treated so differently by being a spy?
Ning Zhiheng took the lead and said to Lin Mucheng with a smile: "The senior is in Class 2 of the seventh and class 2 of the eleventh and class 3 of the eleventh and class 3 of the. I have long wanted to meet the senior, but I don't have the chance. Today is a rare opportunity!"
Ning Zhiheng's attitude was very low, and he was completely showing kindness to Lin Mucheng as a junior. Lin Mucheng naturally did not dare to neglect it.
The reason is very simple, because Ning Zhiheng's position is far above him, and he is also a colonel, Lin Mucheng, the colonel brigade commander, but he only manages the more than 5,000 people under his command.
However, Ning Zhiheng, the colonel chief, is responsible for comprehensively supervising the military discipline and rules of the National Army and military. At critical moments, he can control the supervision and law enforcement power of various combat troops. He can be said to be of high power. Not to mention now, even if Lin Mucheng becomes a general and still has to be under Ning Zhiheng's jurisdiction. Lin Mucheng is very clear about this point. From this perspective, Ning Zhiheng can also be called Lin Mucheng's superior.
Of course, Lin Mucheng also knew that the reason why Ning Zhiheng had such an attitude must be due to the face of his father Lin Zhen. Otherwise, the positions of the two were very different, and Ning Zhiheng would not have shown good deeds so diligently.
"Director Ning is so polite. I also heard that Director Ning is young and promising, and he has the intention to visit him. He didn't expect to meet at home today. Fortunately, I will be lucky!"
The two of them shook hands briefly, and Lin Mucheng also showed quite enthusiasm.
He is not a fledgling green, nor is he a playboy who simply relies on his family background.
He was arranged to train in the army early, and had served as a platoon leader, company commander, regiment-level staff, division-level staff, and even confidential secretary. He finally served as a military chief. He had already smoothed out his edges and was also a skilled person.
Although he was extremely resistant to Ning Zhiheng, he had a kind and friendly attitude, which was completely a sign of a look of meeting too late.
Ning Zhiheng nodded secretly. Lin Mucheng is not an ordinary person after all. If he didn't know his background, he would be really convinced.
Lin Zhen laughed and waved his hand and said, "What director is not a director! Zhiheng is not an outsider. We only talk about personal friendship. From now on, Mu Cheng will call him Zhiheng, and we will not talk about his position here."
Ning Zhiheng nodded as soon as he heard this. He was naturally tactful and said, following Lin Zhen's words: "You Gong is right. We only talk about personal friendship at home. I call my senior brother. I call me Zhiheng, which makes me look friendly, haha!"
Seeing Ning Zhiheng's enthusiasm, Lin Mucheng naturally did not dare to refuse Yu Qianli. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, he is disrespectful. Zhiheng, then I'll be proud!"
"It should be, it should be!"
The two of them were here, and after a few words, they quickly narrowed their distance. At this time, the reception banquet had been arranged. Lin Zhen stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, today is a good day. Mu Cheng is back, and Zhiheng brings good wine again. Let's have a good drink today!"
At the invitation of the host, Ning Zhiheng was of course not polite. He entered the restaurant with the Lin family, sat down and had lunch together.
Lin Zhen ordered people to get the Fenjiu that Ning Zhiheng gave, pointed to the wine glass in front of Ning Zhiheng and said, "Zhiheng, today is all white wine. Are you a habit of drinking it? Why don't I bring you a bottle of rice wine?"
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and smiled, "Yougong, don't be afraid of you making jokes. Although I am from Zhejiang, I have never allowed myself to drink wine since I was a child. Later, I went to the military academy. My teacher is from Shandong. I go to the teacher's house for free every day and drink white wine all the time. I am not used to drinking rice wine!"
When Lin Zhen heard this, he felt relieved. Seeing Ning Zhiheng getting more and more angry, he slapped the table and said, "That's right, can I just say, this yellow wine is soft, it's not pleasant to drink, it's better to have enough white wine! He Yongnian has been in the military academy for so many years, and I don't know anything else, but it's a great contribution to being able to teach you! Haha!"
The wine glass was filled, and the whole family raised their glasses to celebrate. After three rounds of wine, Ning Zhiheng raised his glass to toast Lin Mucheng, and said with a smile: "Yougong is respected and respected, and his seniors are always young, and now he is even more arrogant. He is devoted to the front line of the anti-Japanese war. Zhiheng admires him very much. Unfortunately, he cannot face the enemy and rush to the front line like his brother. I wish him a cup of wine and wish him a victory, a success, and a step further!"
Lin Mucheng also raised his glass to greet him. He was worried about Ning Zhiheng, so he naturally had to deal with it carefully. He also replied with a smile: "Zhiheng is polite. Although you are not on the frontline like us, you are also defending the country with all your heart. You just have your own division of labor, so you don't have to worry about it!"
The two of them drank a drink, but Lin Zhen smiled at Lin Mucheng and said, "You have something wrong with what you said. Don't think you are the leader in the army. The merits earned by swords and guns. Although Zhiheng was young, his military achievements were not as good as you. In the Battle of Shanghai, our army was defeated on the front battlefield and suffered heavy losses. However, Zhiheng led a 600 troops to annihilate two Japanese special agent brigades in succession, totaling more than 500 people. This is a military merit in the commander-in-chief. Later, we protected our only heavy artillery unit. At that time, Chief Zhang sent several telegrams to ask for merit for Zhiheng, and then he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. You! Don't be dissatisfied."
Lin Zhen and Zhang Zhengkui had a very good relationship. At that time, Zhang Zhengkui praised Ning Zhiheng very much and mentioned Ning Zhiheng's achievements in Pudong. Lin Zhen said it specifically at this time, in order to make Lin Mucheng identify with Ning Zhiheng from the bottom of his heart and further narrow their relationship.
Lin Mucheng was shocked at this time. Although he was very respectful to Ning Zhiheng, like his father, he had no good feelings for these spies. But now he realized that Director Ning was also a brave general who had been on the battlefield, especially the Battle of Shanghai, which was the most tragic battle between China and Japan. Those who could establish outstanding military achievements in this battle were definitely considered a hero.
You should know that in the Battle of Shanghai, I basically made no achievements. I was bombed by Japanese planes and cannons, and the troops suffered heavy casualties and their institutions were broken up. It can be said that they were defeated.
Lin Mucheng looked at Ning Zhiheng and raised his glass to signal, and said sincerely: "It turns out that Zhiheng is also a warrior who participated in the Battle of Shanghai. He is disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Ning Zhiheng also raised his glass to meet him. He did not expect that Lin Zhen would still know about his incident in the Pudong battlefield back then, and said a little ashamed: "A little bit of merit, You Gong has been awarded too much!"
Lin Zhen shook his head and sighed: "Zhiheng, I know you are unwilling to join the intelligence department. To be honest, you have suffered a lot of losses. With your talent, you have taken the right path. The future is limitless, which is a pity!"
The Lin family had a welcome banquet, and everyone was having a chat while eating. The atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant. Ning Zhiheng and Lin Mucheng were already familiar with each other, and they became casual in their conversations.
Everyone had almost finished eating, and Lin Zhen then signaled Ning Zhiheng slightly. Ning Zhiheng understood and said to Lin Mucheng: "Brother Mucheng, how long will it take to take a vacation this time?"
"Fifteen days, we have to count the journey back and forth. Although the Japanese have retreated now, our army has suffered a lot of losses. There are many things to do, and it is difficult to delay!"
Ning Zhiheng continued: "Brother, the military service is busy, so this vacation is rare. When you come back, you have to make a good move. There are many scenery in Chongqing. In this way, tomorrow night, I will be in Jinxiu Tower in Jiangbei. I will invite Brother Mu Cheng to have a few drinks. There is close to the Yangtze River, climbing up to see the distance. The scenery of the sunset in the Yangtze River is the most beautiful. It is a big view of Chongqing City, especially the fish in Jinxiu Tower is even more delicious. Watch the sunset and taste delicious. It is a great pleasure. Brother must enjoy the scenery!"
When Lin Mucheng heard Ning Zhiheng treat him to dinner, he was unwilling to do so. Ning Zhiheng is a senior executive of the Military Affairs Bureau. His special status is so afraid that he deals with such a senior agent. It’s okay to have an occasional social engagement, but if you continue to have a deep relationship, you are afraid that if you don’t pay attention, you will be exposed in your words, but it’s hard to say it.
Thinking of this, he was about to refuse, Lin Zhen said to the side: "Okay, I think it's good. Mu Cheng hasn't been to Chongqing for a few days and hasn't been to many places in Chongqing. It just so happened that Zhiheng has time during this time, so he can go out together and relax!"
Speaking of this, he specifically ordered Ning Zhiheng: "I'm leaving Mu Chengru to you. He is very bored. You can accompany him for me!"
"Sure, please don't worry, Mr. You, I rarely have the chance to make a move. This time I can just take a lazy look, just relax."
The two of them sang together here, and immediately blocked Lin Mucheng's words. Finally, they had to nod and agreed: "Okay, I'm disrespectful, I'll disturb Zhiheng!"
