After making a serious statement, Zhuang Jihua explained two sentences to Li Zhilong about the Germans, he estimated that the Germans would come over to negotiate soon, but he was not sure that he would return from Chengdu soon, and he wanted to personally control this negotiation.

Time flickered, the sky was getting dark, the winter night came quite early, Zhuang Jihua looked up from the pile of documents, stretched his waist, and was about to get up, when the phone rang again, but this time it was Liu Yinshu calling.

"There's a guest at home, go home early." Hearing this gentle voice, Zhuang Jihua's heart couldn't help but tremble, since he got married, he has been busy almost every day, he was not by her side when the little girl was born, this time he walked for five months, and when he came back, he could walk, and he called his father, and he was full of apologies for Liu Yinshu in his heart.

"Who is it?" Zhuang Jihua asked: "Aren't you your father here?" ”

If there is no major event, Liu Yinshu rarely calls the office, so Zhuang Jihua thought that his father-in-law came to pick up his mother-in-law.

"It's an old friend, I haven't seen you for years, and you know each other." Liu Yinshu's voice was full of happiness, she didn't have many friends in Yucheng, and she almost didn't have friends when she left the base, so she was so happy when her old friends came: "You come back early, everyone is waiting for you to eat." ”

Pan Huiqin's voice came from the microphone, Zhuang Jihua was stunned, he thought it was just Liu Yinshu's friend, but he didn't think it was also Pan Huiqin's friend, it seemed that their best friend in Guangzhou came, Zhuang Jihua casually agreed, but he guessed who this best friend was from the beginning, could it be Qi Linlin? The image of this round-faced girl suddenly appeared in my mind.

Zhuang Jihua hurriedly packed up his things and went home, and when he went out, he passed by the secretary's room and saw that the palace embroidery painting was still inside, and immediately called her back together, it is estimated that Qi Linlin and her also know each other.

"Sit, you sit, Jihua will be back soon." Outside the door, Zhuang Jihua heard Liu Yinshu's gentle voice, and then Li Zhilong's voice came: "Let them be busy, you sit down, Yaya, hey, you sit here." ”

"Hehe, it's all here." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "Those boys in Tian, don't bully my baby." ”

Gong Xiu glanced at him, pouted and said: "Pretend, I threw my hands at the big shopkeeper, and the children were all thrown to Ah Shu, this will be a good person." ”

"Who said that, I was playing in the yard with her last time." Zhuang Jihua retorted unconvinced: "I'm an excellent father, Ziniu, Ruishan, do you say it." ”

"Yes, I see it." The surname of the Northeast people is so simple, Lu Ruishan shook his black head and said: "Your girl is not cleaned up, although my old Lu is black, it will not be like that." ”

Zhuang Jihua, Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu couldn't help laughing, Lu Ruishan don't look at him roughly, in fact, he likes children, every time he goes to Zhuang Jihua's house, he always wants to be intimate with Yaya, but every time Yaya sees him coming, he is scared and crying, which makes people very puzzled.

Hearing the laughter, the door of the house opened, and Li Zhilong stopped at the door: "Guess first, who is coming?" ”

"First of all, male or female?" Zhuang Jihua didn't want to say his guess at once, if he couldn't guess correctly, Liu Yinshu would be sad for a long time.

"Male."

"Male?" Zhuang Jihua was a little stupid: "Ah Shu didn't have a boyfriend before." ”

"Who said no, your rival." Li Zhilong said jokingly.

"Rivals?" Zhuang Jihua wondered, when he fell in love with Liu Yinshu, he didn't find out who else was chasing her.

"You, what a careless person, how could Ah Shu marry you." The palace embroidery painting shook its head and was upset for the palace embroidery painting.

"I know who it is, that kid is not staying at home, why did he come here, I will take him back, hand him over to his father, and lock him up for another year or two." Wu Ziniu smiled and was about to cross Zhuang Jihua into the door.

"Ha, it's him, okay, get it back." Zhuang Jihua suddenly realized, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Li Zhilong laughed and let go of his body, and sure enough, Xia Yanglin stood in front of the sofa with a little embarrassment, but he was holding Yaya in his arms, and there were Li Zhilong's three children beside him.

"I said the Cultural Revolution, old friend, don't keep worrying about my embarrassment like this." Xia Yanglin was very "dissatisfied" and yelled at Zhuang Jihua.

"Old friends?" Wu Ziniu screamed a few steps in front of Zhuang Jihua, reached out and took the girl from his arms, the little girl seemed to be very dissatisfied with Wu Ziniu's roughness, and the two stubby calves kicked at him, he handed it to Zhuang Jihua, and then rushed to Xia Yanglin.

"Your kid's mouth was like the end of honey, and there was no trace of it for nearly ten years, what about the things that promised me and Yunfei at the beginning?" Wu Ziniu looked "fierce", rolled up his sleeves and was about to clean him up.

"Brother Wu, Brother Wu, I haven't been in China all these years, and I just came back not long ago." Xia Yanglin begged for mercy.

On the way to escape, he bragged to Wu Ziniu and Song Yunfei and "promised" a lot of promises, but none of them were fulfilled.

"It's all back," Liu Yinshu came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup, carefully placed it on the table, and then looked up and said, "Ah Niu, don't bully people, just his body and bones, he can't take a few punches." ”

"Flutter." Gong Xiu is happy to paint, the current Xia Yanglin is not the immature hot-blooded young man at the beginning, but a burly man, standing there with a straight waist, although his mouth is ridiculing, but his shoulders are stable, his feet are not moving, and there is still a little bit of thinness: "Don't make trouble, in such a big place, you guys can still put your feet down." ”

A round table was placed in the center of the living room, and a few chairs around it, plus a few children, had already packed the living room, and the two of them couldn't help making a fuss.

Wu Ziniu put away the shelf, Zhuang Jihua hugged Yaya, and did it on the sofa on the side, his eyes swept around Xia Yanglin, Liu Yinshu came over: "Give Yaya to me, you can eat." At this time, sister-in-law Fang came over: "Madam, give me the maid, and you can also eat." ”

Liu Yinshu nodded, and asked Sister-in-law Fang to take Yaya over, Zhuang Jihua stood up and walked to Xia Yanglin and sat down: "Shibei San, but impressive, Yanglin, you have been separated for nine years, and the ten-year-old hairy guy has become a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man, and the change is really big." ”

Everyone sat down one after another, Xia Yanglin sighed and said: "When I was rescued by you, I went home, and I was almost killed as a communist party in Guangzhou, fortunately I met Director Li of our school's academic affairs office, and after he was a guarantor, I was lucky not to die, after going home, my father was afraid that something would happen, so I went to the United States to study in less than a month, I originally wanted to study law in the United States, but after thinking about it, China doesn't need law at all, what China needs is soldiers, so I went to apply for the West Point Military Academy, and I didn't get admitted in the first year, The next year, I took the exam again, this time I was admitted, I studied at West Point for four years, and I asked to return to China to participate in the war during the 12.8 Anti-Japanese War, but the principal did not agree, so I stayed; After graduating at West Point, I served in the U.S. Army for three more years before returning home this year. Originally, I wanted to find my senior brother Wang Zhi, but when I saw you pacifying Yunnan in Shanghai, I thought Senior Wang was just a battalion commander of the tax police regiment, so it was better to find you, you must have given me more soldiers than him. ”

In the end, the familiar hippie smile appeared on his face again, but no one at the table smiled, the people here were all injured back then, and no one felt comfortable when they mentioned that past, the room fell silent for a while, and even Lu Ruishan felt a little depressed.

"Throw a pen from Rong, Yanglin, you are not simple." In the end, it was Gong Xiuhua who broke the silence, and she jokingly said: "I respect you for a piece of meat." ”

As he spoke, he picked out a piece of meat from the plate and put it in Xia Yanglin's bowl, Xia Yanglin glanced at her, and then asked, "I didn't expect it..." ”

"You're a coincidence, but if you want to lead the troops, you have to have real talent and real learning," Zhuang Jihua hurriedly interrupted him, Peng Fentian is an eternal scar in the heart of Gong Xiuhua, so many years have passed, but it still hurts for a few days: "You used to do rural work, and now rural grassroots party organizations are being established in all parts of Yunnan and Sichuan, and we are very short of cadres in this area, so how about continuing to do this." ”

Xia Yanglin smiled slightly, turned around and took out a few pieces of paper from his purse and handed them to Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua took it and saw that it was still a graduation certificate from the West Point Military Academy, and the other few points were the records of his meritorious service awards in the U.S. Army, as well as the appraisal written by his boss when he left the U.S. Army.

Zhuang Jihua sighed with emotion in his heart, there are really many fools in China in this era, and he doesn't want to live a comfortable life, he has to study military affairs, and with the current racism in the United States, he can actually be promoted from second lieutenant to captain in three years, almost a year, and the price to pay can be imagined.

Silently handing these things to Li Zhilong beside him, he asked Xia Yanglin: "What do you think of the current situation of the American [***] team?" ”

"The beauty team is like a flower in a greenhouse, or a tourist relaxing on a warm beach." The corners of Xia Yanglin's mouth showed a trace of bitterness, this bitterness is completely a contrast between the national security reality of China and the United States, he studied hard in the American [***] team, and was the strictest in every aspect, his platoon and his company quickly became the best platoon and the best company in the regiment and division, as for his colleagues, he even felt that he was a little invincible.

"They are strategically positioned, they have two oceans that keep them safe, and there are no powerful countries around." Zhuang Jihua unintentionally defended the United States: "But what are the characteristics of their tactics? ”

"Their tactics are actually very simple, that is, firepower and triangle formation, the U.S. military believes in the core role of officers, emphasizing teamwork, in any tactics of the U.S. military requires officers to set an example first, and give full play to firepower in team operations, West Point Military Academy particularly emphasizes this, West Point has a famous saying, 'You have to cooperate to graduate'." Xia Yanglin put away his joke and said very seriously: "The establishment of the U.S. army reflects this, like our squadron, there are three squads with the same equipment in the platoon, but the U.S. army is not like this, the U.S. army is also divided into squads, but in specific operations, it is grouped, machine gun group, mortar group, mortar provides long-range attack firepower, half of the machine gun is placed on the flank to provide cover for the full infantry, and the rifle provides accurate shooting......"

Xia Yanglin answered very carefully and carefully, he not only analyzed the advantages of the US army's company and platoon tactics, but also pointed out his shortcomings; He knew that Zhuang Jihua was testing him to see if he had the ability to lead troops, and Zhuang Jihua himself was a master of tactics, so he had to be careful in order to enter the Southwest Development Team, to lead troops, and to make a difference in the future.

His experience in the United States is real, and he also entered the West Point and American [***] team, what he hid was to return to China, he did not return to China directly, but returned to China through Hong Kong, in Hong Kong he met Director Li who had saved him, and was pulled into the third party by Director Li, he originally admired Deng Yanda and hated Chiang Kai-shek, he attributed the ordeal of the year to Chiang Kai-shek, and all of them were easily pulled into the third party and became a commander of the third party guard, after escorting Deng Yanda to Yucheng last time, he proposed to Deng Yanda to enter the Southwest Development Team, In view of his relationship and experience with Zhuang Jihua, Deng Yanda thought that he was likely to be able to directly lead troops after entering the Southwest Development Team, so he agreed to his request, which is why he visited today.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, Xia Yanglin's analysis was sharp and profound, and people who had not practiced in the grassroots troops would never have such an understanding. Then he asked a few more questions, Xia Yanglin's answers made him very satisfied, and he basically knew his use in his heart, but Li Zhilong's question made him a little crooked.

"How did you get into West Point? It's the first time I've heard that they accept Chinese. Li Zhilong smiled when he saw that Zhuang Jihua was no longer asking questions.

"West Point is to accept Chinese, in the former Qing Dynasty, there were Chinese who applied for West Point, called....Wen Yingxing, the US Congress also passed legislation for this purpose, in addition to West Point, there is also the Virginia Military Academy, but these military academy graduates who have returned from the United States seem to be difficult to really enter the military circles, most of the people who come back from the United States are in the tax police corps, and the others are either in the railway or as teachers, basically they have not really entered the military circles."

Zhuang Jihua, who was deeply troubled by the shortage of cadres, suddenly got up, he thought about it and asked, "Who do you know?" ”

"Wang Geng, the former captain of the tax police corps, is now serving in the Ministry of Railways, Wang Zhi is the commander of the engineer battalion in the tax police regiment, in addition to Sun Liren, who graduated from the Virginia Military Academy, he is now the regiment commander, and some have returned from France and England, I am not familiar with them." Xia Yanglin struggled to recall.

Zhuang Jihua felt a pity, in fact, he didn't know that the strength of this tax police regiment was very strong, with a total strength of more than 30,000 people, weapons and equipment were imported from Europe and the United States, each squad was equipped with a machine bridge, and was also equipped with light tanks, and its firepower was not weaker than that of the German armor division.

"Yanglin, can you use your classmates to bring some people to me." Zhuang Jihua raised his hand and poured Xia Yanglin a glass of wine.

Xia Yanglin was a little stupid when he heard this, what is the tax police regiment, it is Song Ziwen's heart and liver baby, digging people from there, it is better to cut meat from Song Ziwen's heart.

"Of course you won't work in vain," the corners of Zhuang Jihua's mouth showed a hint of cunning: "With your ability, you can command a company, but if you pull five people, you can be the battalion commander, and if you pull ten people, you can be the deputy regiment commander, if you can pull Sun Liren over, I will give you a regiment, how about it?" ”

Xia Yanglin looked at Zhuang Jihua in a daze, and it took a long time before he gasped: "Brother of the Cultural Revolution, I haven't seen you for a few years, I have changed from a businessman to a soldier, how did you change from a soldier to a businessman." ”

Gong Xiuhua almost squirted out a mouthful of soup, Li Zhilong and Wu Ziniu were stunned at first, and then laughed in unison, Lu Ruishan's big eyes turned around on Zhuang Jihua and Xia Yanglin's faces, as if to see if Xia Yanglin's words were right, Pan Huiqin covered her mouth and smiled, Liu Yinshu glanced at Zhuang Jihua with disgust, as if he blamed him for not talking about these things at this time.
