Half an hour later, in the luxurious banquet hall, all the members and attachés of the China-Burma-India military inspection delegation arrived, took their seats, and sat around the round table.
Most of the officers on the table are the army, and there is only one officer from the air force and the navy, and the color of the imitation British military uniform of the national air force is roughly the same as that of the army.
The table is very large, more than enough for more than a dozen people to sit, on the main seat, sitting is the head of the inspection group, General Shang Zhen, and the deputy head of the delegation, Lieutenant General Lin Wei, sitting next to Shang Zhen's side, the two heads of the two regiments are talking hotly, in this delegation, the two of them are not only the first and second in command, but also the veterans in the domestic military system.
After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander-in-chief of the 12th Army and concurrently served as the commander of the 32nd Army, and fought with the Japanese army in Shanxi, North China.
General Shang is also a person who has experienced a lot of ups and downs, he has been in the military and politics for decades, he is one year older than Lin Wei, and his resume and faction are also "colorful" than Lin Wei, "three out of fifty this year."
On this table, he and Lieutenant General Lin are the most compatible, with similar ages and experiences, on the other hand, the officers from the army in the inspection group are almost all descendants of Huangpu students, Commander Du is from the first phase of Huangpu, the former chief of staff of the 71st Army Major General Feng Yan is the sixth phase of Huangpu, the thirteenth period of Lu University, the senior staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs Tang Baohuang is a student of the eighth phase of Huangpu, Major General Hou Teng is also from the sixth phase of Huangpu, and even Zhang Wei, an attaché, a junior in his twenties, is a student of the tenth phase of Huangpu.
Shang Zhen and Lin Wei, the two old brothers, who are not descendants and have similar experiences, are surrounded by this group of descendant officers, I have to say that there is a sense of sympathy for each other, in terms of the composition of the human group, you can get a glimpse of the personnel structure and role of this inspection group, the head of the regiment Shang Zhen and the deputy head of the regiment Lin Wei are two non-descendants, the old ostrich, let them play the role of the first and second leaders, it is better to let the old man come forward to sit in the symbolic significance.
The specific investigation policy and the tactics and tactics formulated on the basis of the investigation should still be based on the following generals of the Central Army and senior staff members, and a small inspection group is the epitome of today's domestic factions and politics The members of the delegation and several attachés, after introducing each other, also talked to each other and became familiar with each other, from different systems, and in the next few months, they had to work together for inspection, all talking with smiling faces.
The purpose of today's banquet is also here, so that everyone can get to know each other, have an understanding of each other, and cooperate with each other after the formal inspection.
There are not many attachés brought by the members of the delegation, counting Zhang Wei, there are only two people, and the identity of the other attaché is not a soldier, but the diplomatic attaché of diplomat Zheng Kangqi, that is to say, Zhang Wei is the only military attaché at this table.
Zhang Wei is on one side of Chief Du, on the other side is the army major general Feng Yan, Feng Yan is a student of the sixth phase of Huangpu, is Zhang Wei's senior, was originally the chief of staff of the 71st Army of the Army, the 71st Army is the Central Army troops, the subordinate 88th, 87th, 36th divisions, in the sequence of the central army is also very famous, in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression fought a lot of tough battles, the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Battle of Wuhan have been won, and now the 71st Army composed of these three divisions has gradually lost its initial edge, But it was a strong army at the beginning, and the majesty still exists.
This Feng Yan was transferred from the chief of staff of the 71st Army to the inspection group, surnamed Feng has a good personality, and he has a strong military temperament.
Zhang Wei was also very happy to communicate with Feng Yan, and the topic of the two talked from the military academy to the battlefield, Zhang Wei took out the combat experience of the Battle of Kunlun Pass and Lanfeng, and Feng Yan returned to the combat experience of the Battle of Fujin Mountain in the Battle of Wuhan.
Zhang Wei had to sigh that the signboard of Huangpu is really easy to use, there is a relationship between seniors and juniors, and it will be closer to Dengshi, if he is a non-descendant, not an officer from Huangpu, I am afraid that this surnamed Feng will not be so close to him.
In the chat, the dishes also came up, and the extremely exquisite dishes were served by the waiters in turn, all of them were excellent dishes, mainly Yunnan cuisine, full of color, flavor and flavor, hot and cold meat and vegetarian everything, exquisite ingredients, high-end plating and authentic methods, more than one grade higher than the meals Zhang Wei had eaten in Yixuanju these days, of course, the banquet must be indispensable for wine.
After a while, the wine and food were ready, and the head of the delegation, General Shang Zhen, stood up first and raised his wine glass.
"Come, colleagues, old and talented, was appointed by Chongqing as the head of this inspection group, and work with all the young talents, the old man is more than half a hundred years old, can serve the country with a broken body, he must do his best, the old man is not good at foreign affairs, and he does not know how to deal with foreign devils, go abroad to investigate, but also rely on you to work hard, do a good job of this investigation, the old man takes this cup, I wish the investigation a smooth trip, and I also wish the national army a smooth fight abroad, and beat the Japanese invaders" Shang Zhen drank all the wine in his cup.
"Good" Everyone at the banquet applauded one after another, and they also raised their wine glasses, stood up and drank together, and Shang Zhen's words mobilized the atmosphere on the wine table.
Zhang Wei drank all the wine in the cup, and more than two taels of wine went straight down the throat into his stomach, and the hot burning sensation came out of his stomach.
"Well, Shang Gong has a lot of me, Lin Wei can't bow to the wind, and then Shang Gong's words, this overseas investigation, we represent China and Chinese soldiers, as soldiers, we should win glory for the country, we must show our Chinese style in front of the British, then, let us drink this cup together" "That's right, those of us who engage in diplomacy hope that the country will have a strong army, and only by having a strong army can we straighten our backs."
Diplomat Zheng Kangqi said.
"Drink" Another glass of wine.
The two bigwigs of the chief and deputy heads of the delegation raised their glasses in turn, and started the game with a sharp pour, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more enthusiastic, and then, several officers toasted one after another, and drank one cup after another Sogou Reading Website::
