Chapter 41: The Night Feast

3.41 Night Banquet

On the same day, Li Hansoul, deputy commander of the Second Army under Chen Jitang, "sealed the gold seal" at the Shantou Appeasement Office and sent a telegram to Chen to "return the great order."

On July 10, the Second Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of Nanjing resolved to remove Chen Jitang from all his posts and replace Yu Hanmou as director of the Guangdong Appeasement Office and commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army.

On July 14, Yu Hanmou took office by telegram, supported Nanjing, and limited Chen Jitang to leave Guangdong within 24 hours. He also drove the First Army from Dayu back to Shaoguan and began to deploy into Guangzhou. On the same day, the Second Army telegraphed to Nanking in Guangzhou, welcoming Yu Hanmou to Guangzhou to take over.

On 18 July, all the pilots of the Guangdong Air Force flew all the planes north......

Coupled with the defection of the navy, the Guangdong army, which had dominated Guangdong for many years, suddenly collapsed!

Chen Jitang fled to Hong Kong in a sloppy manner, and used the finances he had looted for many years to start a "charter office", and he no longer planned to have anything to do with the highest authorities.

Chen Jitang is not haunted by "military unification" and "central unification" personnel near his mansion in Hong Kong, and if Lao Chen still wants to make a comeback, these people will not mind creating an "accident" in Hong Kong.

After Chen Jitang was solved by Nanjing with lightning speed, the Gui family in Guangxi lost their support, and after analyzing the current situation and the comparison of the strength of the two sides, Chief Li and "Xiao Zhuge " had no choice but to bow their heads and express their submission to Nanjing.

During the Liangguang Incident, the Nanjing government did not fight bloodlessly, and pocketed the territory of Guangdong and more than 200,000 Cantonese troops, and the command of the highest authorities was greatly praised in public opinion.

In recent years, the newspapers have never stopped scolding Nanjing, and the sudden overwhelming praise of the Nanjing government has made the people a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, this certainly does not affect the recent cheerful mood of the highest authorities.

The supreme authorities, who were proud of the spring breeze, gave huge bonuses to meritorious departments at all levels, and held a grand celebration banquet to celebrate major events.

Master Huang, the "meritorious hero", naturally also received an invitation to the celebration banquet......

This time, the highest authorities intend to give Huang Haoran a reward.

"Madame" has mentioned this Huang Master several times in front of the highest authorities, intentionally or unintentionally, and the highest authorities feel that they should reward this young talent.

Division Commander Huang's rank of colonel was very eye-catching at the banquet, and Venus flashed all around, and a colonel suddenly appeared, which was a little surprising.

The level of this banquet is very high, and a colonel should not and cannot appear in this hall.

But he just showed up......

In the brightly lit banquet hall, dignitaries from various government departments. The generals of the army and foreign envoys and counselors in China, as well as their interpreters and adjutants, are constantly flowing here.

Expensive imported champagne is poured from the top of the pyramid of wine glasses arranged in the shape of a tower, and the beautiful ladies with their fingerpolished hands produce goblets filled with liquor from the hands of the hosts beside them, and the jewels and crystal glasses on their bodies reflect a blurry light.

Huang Haoran took a glass of Champagne and tasted it, he didn't know what was going on, he remembered the dirt that almost choked him on the battlefield in Songhu, the taste of blood, and the champagne in the glass gave him a lot of feeling.

If these extravagant expenditures are used to arm the army, then why should these soldiers use their own flesh and blood to confront the steel of the Japanese?

The wine in this cup is clearly the blood of soldiers!

Master Huang felt a wave of nausea in his throat!

He wandered aimlessly through the crowd, and the people around him looked at the colonel officer with curious eyes, and no one came up to talk to him......

Walking near the podium in the hall, Huang Haoran saw Jiang Baili talking to a few foreign military attachés, and pointed and scratched, and there were several generals standing on the side, obviously they didn't understand what Jiang Baili was saying to these foreign devils, but out of politeness, they couldn't leave, so they had to nod their heads with wine glasses on the side.

Huang Haoran strode forward and greeted Jiang Baili:

"Brother Baili! Hello! ”

As soon as Jiang Baili turned around and saw this little brother of his own, he smiled and waved his hand to signal Master Huang to come to his side, Huang Haoran took three steps and two steps, and squeezed into the crowd.

Several generals looked at this unfamiliar face and did not speak, and Division Commander Huang immediately raised his hand and saluted when he saw their ranks.

Several people returned the salute, but still did not speak......

Jiang Baili introduced several foreign military attaches in front of Huang Haoran, including American and British, Huang Haoran naturally greeted these people in English, these foreigners were very surprised by Huang's language ability, and praised one after another, Jiang Baili took the opportunity to take a step out and let out a sigh.......

The lights suddenly dimmed, and the lighting of the podium became particularly eye-catching, and a bald man in a general's uniform walked up to the podium, and as soon as he spoke, it was a standard Zhejiang official dialect, and Huang Haoran knew without asking that this bald man was officially the controller of the Nanjing government ----- the highest authority.

The content of the speech of the highest authority naturally revolved around the smooth resolution of the "Liangguang Incident," and a group of foreigners listened attentively to the exaggerated narrative of the highest authority, while Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili, who knew the inside story, were a little interested.

Fortunately, the speech of the highest authority was not very long, and soon the master of ceremonies of the banquet announced that the dinner had begun.

Jiang Baili pulled Huang Haoran to sit together, a lieutenant general officer had to give way to Huang Haoran, Huang Division Commander glanced at the other party apologetically, but he didn't expect to change back to a white eye, Huang Division Commander saw that the other party didn't want to pay attention to himself, so he didn't go to his heart.

Jiang Baili introduced Huang Haoran to the officers at the same table, because Huang Haoran has always been in a small place in the army, and the reserve division is not a regular army, so he has very little contact with the senior officers of the friendly forces in the system, and basically has no understanding.

Only after this introduction did I know that at the same table today as Division Commander Huang were the leaders of the two small factions of the central system, Commander Tang and Commander Hu.

Huang Haoran was really speechless about the situation of the Chinese army, not to mention the contradictions between the local warlords and the central army, and even the central army had so many factions, and this cohesion was really very problematic.

In the face of the hypocrisy of these powerful factions, Master Huang felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The climax of the banquet was when Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs presented commendations to those who had made outstanding achievements in the "Liangguang Counterinsurgency." The officials who stepped onto the podium all put on a posture of "national officials," as if the warlords of Liangguang and Guangxi had been destroyed by their laughter.

Master Huang suddenly felt a little nauseous, drank a sip of champagne to suppress the acid gushing in his stomach, Commander Tang at the same table stood up "suddenly" and walked towards the podium, Huang Haoran almost didn't vomit out the wine he had just drunk!
