"Hello Chief of Staff Huang, I'm Zheng Guotai, Director of General Affairs of the 500th Army!" Zheng Guotai stood up and saluted, and then shook hands with the other party and greeted each other, showing a very general demeanor.

Chief of Staff Huang also politely returned the salute and shook hands warmly with Director Zheng. The letter of introduction handed over by the other party had clearly written that this Director Zheng was a major general of the 500 Army and the chief of general affairs, and his rank was quite not low, so Huang Wenbo was not polite.

"Director Zheng is a guest for a long time, since he has come from afar, let's rest here for two days. It is really unfortunate that Deputy Commander Mi went to the theater for a meeting and did not return. I'll arrange a place for you to live, if Director Zheng doesn't have anything important, he will be in Heilong Town for a few days, and after the deputy commander comes back, how about Director Zheng and the deputy commander talk in detail? ”

It turned out that Chief of Staff Huang didn't know why Zheng Guotai came to deliver guns to the 69th Army. Mi Wenhe's affair in the 500th Army, he didn't tell a cadre of the 69th Army when he came back, and Chief of Staff Huang didn't know about it at all! In fact, this can't be blamed on Mi Wenhe, as long as it is a person, he is unwilling to publicize his disgrace in the public.

It is not easy for Chief of Staff Huang to make a decision about what he does not know, and he, the chief of staff, came forward to receive him, just to pay attention to the principle of reciprocity. There is a major general and division chief, and a general-level person from the 69th Army has to come out to receive him, and this Chief of Staff Huang is already the highest military rank in the current military headquarters of the 69th Army. The other generals have all left the troops, and he, the chief of staff of the major general, is here to take charge, who will come forward if he doesn't come forward?

Regarding Chief of Staff Huang's proposal, Zheng Guotai of course had to refuse, he just wanted to take advantage of Mi Wenhe's absence to do things and leave quickly, and when Mi Wenhe came back, it wouldn't be troublesome!

"I'm sorry, Chief of Staff Huang." Zheng Guotai clenched his fists with both hands and looked apologetic, "Although Zheng is also very willing to learn from the chief of staff for a few more days, but Zheng really doesn't have time due to busy military affairs!" It's just that I've been out for a few days, and after I go back, I have to have a lot of official business waiting for me to deal with! Alas, when the errand is not free, freedom is not bad! Since Chief of Staff Huang is here, then ask Chief of Staff Huang to receive this batch of firearms on behalf of your army, sign a receipt, and then ask my brother to go back and hand over the errand. Wait for another day, another day if there is a chance, Zheng Guotai will definitely visit again and conspire with Chief of Staff Huang to get drunk! ”

"Why bother another day? Today is a good day! Since Director Zheng is here, how can Huang not entertain him well? Let's go, please Director Zheng taste the craftsmanship of my 69th Army cook, I still have two jars of my daughter's red old wine that has been put in 20 years, go, today we will not get drunk and not return! "Chief of Staff Huang is a soldier in the end, and he is still not as experienced as Zheng Guotai as a professional in diplomatic matters, and after talking about it, he immediately had a good impression of Director Zheng, and he even wanted to take out a collection of good wine to entertain distinguished guests.

Zheng Guotai was also not modest, and several people walked out of this reception room and entered another room. In the middle of this room is a large round table, which is the kind of table where feasts are served. Chief of Staff Huang and Director Zheng sat down as the guest of honor, and the major of the 69th Army and Wang Hua of the 500th Army accompanied each other in the last seat. It didn't take long for the food and drinks to be served in turn.

During the war, even the military headquarters of the 69th Army did not have any particularly luxurious dishes, but there were a few kinds of game that pressed the table, such as stir-fried wild boar, braised wild boar trotters, stewed pheasant, braised mutton, mountain mushroom and mushroom soup, anyway, the kind that four people would never be able to eat. Someone else took out two small ceramic wine jars, which were the wine that Chief of Staff Huang had been reluctant to drink for 20 years. Whether it's true or not, anyway, if people say this, they show respect to Zheng Guotai.

When the seal of the wine jar was opened, a strong aroma of wine filled the entire room, Zheng Guotai's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Good wine!" ”

Zheng Guotai is actually an alcoholic, before he followed Gao Quan, this used to be a puppet army commander who lived on alcohol every day, and after he followed Gao Quan to participate in the Anti-Japanese War team, he basically had no chance to drink. Except for the occasional New Year's festival when he can drink a few sips to relieve his cravings, how can he usually have the opportunity to drink? Besides, the military regulations of the 500 Army do not allow alcoholism, and Director Zheng has not smelled alcohol for at least a month. As soon as he smelled the aroma of wine today, the wine worm in Zheng Guotai's stomach immediately became active, and his throat and eyes were like a small hand scratching, and the itching was uncomfortable.

Don't look at Huang Wenbo who is entertaining guests today, in fact, Chief of Staff Huang really doesn't have any alcohol addiction, this is just a little bit of drinking, and it's still far from gluttony. When he saw Zheng Guotai's expression, he thought that Director Zheng was deliberately praising his good wine and giving him face.

"Hehe, since it's good wine, Director Zheng should drink a few more glasses today!" As soon as Huang Wenbo waved his hand, the orderly next to him was full of Zheng Guotai.

Zheng Guotai picked up his glass and smiled, "Come, Chief of Staff Huang, everyone, let's all wish me victory in the War of Resistance against the Republic of China!" Fill this cup! "Zheng Guotai learned this trick from Gao Quan, when Commander Gao was drinking, he always shouted this kind of slogan to toast, and when he shouted the slogan, whether he could drink it or not, he had to pick up the wine cup and drink it all, otherwise you just don't want to win the Anti-Japanese War! Who wants to wear this hat?

Chief of Staff Huang is no exception, although I think that the toast that Director Zheng said is not very common, but you can't jump out of other people's faults, and now you don't say anything about the Anti-Japanese War? Can you say that I wish you a promotion and a fortune? So, Chief of Staff Huang raised his wine glass and touched Director Zheng in the air, "Ding! Then he took a sip to his mouth, and when he looked at it again, Director Zheng had already drunk all the wine! Helplessly, Chief of Staff Huang had no choice but to pour the wine from the cup in one gulp.

picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of wild boar meat and chewed it twice, and Director Zheng's second toast came again: "I wish me eternal prosperity in China!" ”

Yes, I can't drink this cup anymore! Huang Wenbo hurriedly chewed twice to swallow the meat in his mouth, raised his neck, and put the second glass of wine down. He was just about to take a breath, and Zheng Guotai came to the third toast: "I wish the chairman good health!" ”

That's it, one cup on the left and one on the right, go up and toast five times in a row! Don't mention Huang Wenbo's awkwardness! He ate a bite of braised pork, and he drank five cups in a row, and they were all big cups of eight yuan, five or eighty or forty, and when he went up, he went up to four taels of white wine! My stomach is hot, and my head is already a little dizzy. Look at Director Zheng again, he just drank to the head of the red face! If he had known that this man was so virtuous, he would have taken a jar of wine! Chief of Staff Huang looked at the two altars and his daughter Hong had already begun to regret his hospitality!

A captain officer walked in with a smile at the door, and when he got here, he took out a pack of cigarettes and put them on the wine table, as if he had come to deliver cigarettes to the big guys. However, the veteran Zheng Guotai still noticed the abnormality of this guy at a glance!
