879 [Chairman Zhou]
Chang Kaishen met with Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yong in Yunxiu Tower.
At the beginning, the atmosphere was very good, and Lao Jiang highly praised the patriotic spirit of the two, but because of Feng Yong's words, it took a sharp turn.
"President Jiang, I want to see Han Qing (Zhang Xueliang)." Feng Yong is colorful.
Chang Kaishen's expression was a little embarrassed, and then he smiled: "You are good brothers, you should meet." However, Han Qing was far away in Guizhou, and the road was far away, so it was inevitable that the reorganization of the Air Force would be delayed. I want to appoint General Feng as the deputy director of the Aviation Committee, I wonder if General Feng is willing to accept it? β
The deputy director of the Aviation Committee is equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Air Force, and his cards are very large, but his real power is very small.
Feng Yong was a little annoyed in his heart, but he struggled: "Thank you for the president's kindness, but I hope to be the captain of the flight and fight with the devil in the sky!" β
Chang Kaishen politely refused: "Kill chickens with a knife." General Feng is a management talent of the Air Force, and he can sit in the central position and strategize, so why should he personally fly a plane to fight? Besides, the planes are all young people, and young people react quickly. If General Feng were ten years younger, I would definitely appoint you as the captain of the aviation group. β
Feng Yong wanted to speak and stopped, but finally endured it. He returned to China with planes and pilots, originally wanting to serve the country, but now he was vacated by Lao Jiang's words, and he could only retire as a deputy director in name only.
Chang Kaishen smiled: "That's it." General Feng worked hard for the country and returned with planes and aviation talents, so he deserved to be rewarded and promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. β
Well, it's giving Feng Yong a boost again, but unfortunately he still has no real power.
Feng Yong was so angry that he wanted to laugh, he held back his anger and said: "President, Lieutenant General, I don't want it, I hope you can put me in charge of Air Force logistics." This is the last point of requirement, you can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but you have to give me the opportunity to provide food for the Air Force athletes. β
"Han Qing (Feng Yong) said that you are the deputy director of the Aviation Committee, and it is also the right thing to manage the logistics of the Air Force." Chang Kaishen agreed to come down, otherwise the appearance would be too ugly.
Feng Yong finally got some real power, and said helplessly: "Thank you, Mr. Zuo." β
Chang Kaishen immediately changed the topic and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mingcheng, you spent a huge amount of money to donate planes for the country, and you went around overseas to make the United States change its attitude towards China, which is really a rare hero of the party-state. Would you like to be ambassador to the UK? β
Zhou Hexuan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said: "Brother Baodong (Guo Taiqi) has made outstanding achievements in British diplomacy, so let him continue to do it." β
Seeing that Zhou Hexuan still did not want to be awarded the official position, Chang Kaishen said again: "Since Mingcheng is interested in the construction of the Air Force, it is better to serve as the vice chairman of the Aviation Committee and receive the rank of lieutenant general, what do you think?" β
This position is equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Air Force, and his status is second only to Lao Jiang, but it is definitely a false position, and most of them still have the idea of letting Zhou Hexuan continue to donate planes.
Zhou Hexuan thought about it for a while, and reluctantly agreed, he needed his position and military rank as a guarantee, so that he could do things in the rear of the Anti-Japanese War in the future.
"Boss, I still want to go to Guizhou." Feng Yong spoke suddenly, quietly giving Zhou Hexuan a look.
Zhou Hexuan had no choice but to help: "President, Brother Han Qing and I haven't seen each other for a long time, can you let me go and see it too?" β
The two of them wanted to see Zhang Xueliang alive, which made Chang Kaishen very unhappy, but he couldn't refuse, and promised: "I will send a plane to send you over in two days." β
When Zhang Xueliang was first placed under house arrest, although the supervision was strict, it was not external to the outside world, and those who wanted to visit did not have to report to Lao Jiang. Liu Shangqing, who was the chairman of Anhui Province at the time, heard that Zhang Xueliang was in Huangshan, so he hurriedly rushed from the provincial capital and talked with Zhang Xueliang for more than an hour.
As a result, the day after Zhang Xueliang left Huangshan, Liu Shangqing was removed from the post of provincial chairman.
It's okay for others to visit, but Liu Shangqing is a veteran of the Northeast Army, what did he want to do with Zhang Xueliang's secret agent?
As a result, Chang Kaishen strengthened his supervision of Zhang Xueliang, and it was difficult for outsiders to visit him again. And with Liu Shangqing's experience, officials of the Kuomintang also regarded Zhang Xueliang like a beast, and they didn't even dare to mention it.
In the past year or so, Song Ziwen sent someone to send a cart of daily necessities, and Zhang Xueliang was very deserted.
The funny thing is that Feng Yong in history was "reused" by Lao Jiang after the Xi'an Incident, which is completely different from the current situation.
The situation is probably like this, Feng Yong ran to Zhang Xueliang to ask for troops before the Xi'an Incident, and wanted to be the division commander, but Zhang Xueliang only promised him to be the brigade commander. During this period, Zhang Xueliang also confided his depression and dissatisfaction with Lao Jiang to Feng Yong.
Feng Yong used his friendship with Chen Cheng to reflect Zhang Xueliang's situation and hardships to Lao Jiang, hoping to dredge the relationship between Jiang and Zhang.
As a result, after the Xi'an Incident was resolved peacefully, Lao Jiang recalled what Feng Yong said, thinking that Feng Yong was exposing Zhang Xueliang's conspiracy at that time, and felt that Feng Yong was very loyal and reliable, and began to arrange positions for Feng Yong's continuous promotion.
Because of the appearance of Zhou Hexuan, Feng Yong went to the United States early to train pilots, of course these things could not happen, and now Feng Yong is directly stiff with Lao Jiang.
β¦β¦
Two days later.
Lao Jiang's promotion order was issued, and Zhou Hexuan was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and served as vice chairman of the China Aviation Commission.
For Mao a deputy commander of the Air Force is a lieutenant general?
Because China did not have an air force establishment at this time, let alone set up air force ranks, Zhou Hexuan has now become a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang in a daze.
The epaulettes are yellow, with five bars and two stars embedded in them, Zhou Hexuan feels like he has become the captain of the five bars, and the red scarf on his chest is so bright......
There was no saber or anything, but a matching gun was delivered. But it's too shabby, I didn't even do the title ceremony, and my mother quietly touched it and finished it.
Zhou Hexuan locked the leather in the cabinet, and he could wear it out when he needed to scare people one dayβalthough it might not be a fart.
Now the rear is in chaos, the economy is in a mess, not to mention the national industry.
Under the banner of wartime control, the bureaucratic elite wantonly embezzled shares in private enterprises. In particular, those commodities classified as strategic goods must be run by the government or semi-government, and the shares of countless factories have been bought by the government at low prices.
If you want your company not to be swallowed up, you must cooperate with the powerful, including many of Zhou Hexuan's factories have found partners.
The only one that was not affected was Zhou Hexuan's pharmaceutical factory. Because it was a joint venture with the King of England, there were many British people in it, and no one dared to provoke it for the time being.
But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and one day you will be blind to find the door, so Zhou Hexuan got himself a military uniform to wear, and also accepted the position of vice chairman of the aviation committee. Although these things are very empty, with Zhou Hexuan's reputation and influence, they can definitely turn anyone upside down - including Kong Xiangxi.
No matter what, Zhou Hexuan is also the chairman now!
Well, vice.
