readx; After such an introduction, a small conversation circle was soon formed centered on Chen Huatian and Gu Weijun, where there were Chen Huatian and Gu Weijun and rising stars in officialdom like Bi Quanxiong, and on the other side of this group, several generals wearing generals' uniforms also gathered into a small circle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the decades since China's military-political separation was enacted, the generals in public have rarely dealt with civilian officials, and to some extent, China's military officer body is a rather xenophobic group with little contact with politicians. This cannot be blamed on them, but because Chen Jingyun attaches great importance to the separation of military and political affairs, and those military generals who try to establish contacts with politicians are unlikely to be trusted by Chen Jingyun.

"This eldest prince is becoming more and more like the chairman of the year!" Lieutenant General Sun Liren, who was holding a wine glass, looked at Chen Huatian smiling and talking to Gu Weijun and others in a low voice, and the whole person felt a kind of cordiality when he spoke, but it was enough to make people feel his pride, and this scale was not easy to grasp.

Tang Qiang, the army general next to him, also nodded and said: "My father said in the early years that among the sons of the chairman, the eldest son is still the eldest son, who has won the political talent of the chairman. In terms of dealing with people, it can be said that people are impeccable! ”

"What's the matter, Chief Tang also looks at the eldest prince differently?" Sun Liren looked at Tang Qiang's face as he spoke.

Tang Qiang shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter how you look at it, the important thing is that the chairman has already decided, no, my old man is already in his prime, and he should retire next year, but I don't want to scream about those things!" ”

Sun Liren smiled and didn't answer, Tang Qiang didn't have to get involved in the heir battle, but he Sun Liren couldn't avoid it! Because everyone knows that he had a close relationship with Chen Huajun in his early years, although he has had a weaker relationship with Chen Huajun in the past two years, he is still a general in the army who belongs to Chen Huajun's faction in the eyes of outsiders.

Tang Qiang is relatively old, his person is the son of Tang Huikang, the general manager of the Fuzhou Arsenal, and although Tang Huikang died in the thirties, and Tang Huikang never held any public office, but in the early stage of the Republic, he was not inferior to Hong Zitai, Zheng Zuyin and Shen Gang and other important roles in the founding of the country. It was precisely because of the weapons and ammunition of the Fuzhou Arsenal that the Nationalist Army won the civil war. The Fuzhou Arsenal led by Tang Huikang also laid an important cornerstone for the development of China's heavy industry, and many of China's important heavy industries, including steel, chemical, machinery and other enterprises, were separated from the Fuzhou Arsenal back then, so many people called him the father of China's national defense industry.

Even in the twenties, when he was not in office due to health reasons, he was specially hired by Chen Jingyun as an industrial adviser to the presidential palace, and often went in and out of the presidential palace until his death.

Although Tang Qiang joined the army relatively late, he was in his forties during the civil war, and he personally did not have the same dazzling military talent as the famous generals in the army, he survived step by step, until 1944, when he was promoted to army general because he served as the chief of the equipment department.

And people like Tang Qiang, who were only promoted to general in the last few years of his retirement, can be regarded as a consolation promotion, and he will officially retire from active duty in the army and turn into a reserve next year. Once he retires, he just wants to scream that the heir battle will not be cared for.

But Sun Liren is different, he is in the prime of life, and he was promoted to lieutenant general at a young age, if nothing else, he can continue to mix in the army for twenty or thirty years and continue to grow.

Speaking of Sun Liren, in fact, he developed very smoothly in his early years, because he was the core general of China's armored forces in the thirties, and put forward a lot of tactical theories, such as the in-depth gradual theory, which was regarded by the army as the core of the army's building theory in the thirties, which he and Jiang Fangzhen came up with together. During the thirties, he was an important talent valued by many army bosses, but after the late thirties, his performance gradually became mediocre, and in the early forties, he got involved with Chen Huajun again, and the competition between Chen Huatian and Chen Huajun The competition between the two brothers also further affected his continued promotion, and after Chen Jingyun officially determined Chen Huatian as the heir last year, as the main general of Chen Huajun's faction, he was personally suppressed by Chen Jingyun and was transferred from the position of commander of the field army with real power. He was first transferred to the Equipment Department, and now he has been transferred to the Shanghai Garrison Command, and it can be said that in less than two years, he has been excluded from the core system of the military.

This person, life always has to be pursued a little, Sun Liren doesn't want to be like those mediocre generals in the garrison to do nothing until he retires, he still wants to continue to rise, generals or even marshals. He thinks he is talented, but he is following the wrong person, and the path he has developed in the past few years is not right. He felt that the core of his value was still on the theoretical research side, so in the two years he was suppressed, he also painstakingly studied the combat theory of the mechanized corps, and published a bunch of papers in internal military journals.

However, the front waves of the Yangtze River push back the waves, although he has spent a lot of thought on this, and he has also researched a lot of results, but the limelight has been covered by Li Yuting, to a certain extent, the current Li Yuting in the army is valued to replace his position back then.

In today's Chinese Army, the various theories and tactics of mechanized warfare have been perfected for more than 20 years, and Li Yuting has relied on the so-called information-based operations to gain popularity, while Sun Liren has also been forced to come up with another trick, and in the past two years, he has focused his attention on the army aviation unit.

Trying to make achievements in the army aviation that the army has always wanted, but for the army aviation to be equipped with fixed-wing aircraft, it has always been a matter of extreme suppression by the air force and navy, this reality can not even be changed by Shen Gang, let alone his Sun Liren, so he focused on helicopters, the army's helicopter unit has developed rapidly in the past two years, and his strong support is inseparable, and put forward a series of tactical theories about helicopters, such as helicopter anti-tank warfare, Helicopters carrying infantry units for rapid advances, etc.

In addition to wanting to regain the attention of the top in the study of tactical theory, he is also thinking about whether it is time to change the court, although Chen Huajun is not thin on him, and he himself is also very appreciative of Chen Huajun's military talent, but in the face of today's general trend, continue to follow Chen Huajun and Chen Huatian to the death, it is estimated that he can only retire in the garrison for the rest of his life.

And this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable for an ambitious and talented general.

Just when Sun Liren was thinking about this, Tang Qiang next to him said: "The eldest prince is here!" ”

At this time, Sun Licai collected his thoughts, and then squeezed out a smile on his face, at this time, Chen Huatian had already come over, at this time, Gu Weijun naturally would not come over together, the military and the political axe people have always been unsuitable to stay together, it is too good to say that they are against each other, but they can't find any topics to talk about together, some things can't be talked about, some things can't be discussed, basically when people from the military and political sides stay together, they are basically staring at each other.

After Chen Huatian came over, he naturally had another cold time, and during this period, several military rookies took the opportunity to be introduced.

During the conversation, Sun Liren said a lot, and secretly intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he wanted to take refuge in Chen Huatian. What kind of person is Chen Huatian, as Chen Jingyun's son, he has been playing intrigue since he was a teenager, this ability to observe words and emotions has been even the essence of Chen Jingyun's three points, although Sun Liren did not say it explicitly, but Chen Huatian can feel it from Sun Liren's words, this Sun Liren is probably afraid of sitting on the cold bench.

Chen Huatian didn't care about this, and even took Sun Liren's hand on the spot and said: "As long as you support me, you have a great future!" ”

Instead, they continued to smile, as usual, and the topics of conversation in this process were not diplomacy and economics, but naturally military matters. Although Chen Huatian has no talent in military affairs, he has been in the army for more than ten years and is already an army general.

"I personally think helicopters still have great potential for development!" Chen Huatian picked up Sun Liren's topic about helicopters and began to express his own views on the army aviation unit: "Although for the time being, the surname and role of helicopters are still relatively limited, but any innovative weapons and equipment need time to develop and improve, just like the aircraft of the year, from the beginning of the establishment of the air force of our army, it has been waiting for more than ten years before it really has a relatively perfect system, and the same is true for tanks, from World War I to the present, there have been too many changes in the tactical use of tanks, And even our army only established a perfect combat system of mechanized troops in the thirties! ”

"So I think that this helicopter unit still needs to be vigorously developed, and in time, it will definitely be able to become an important branch of the army that can influence the situation of the war!"

Sun Liren was very satisfied with Chen Huatian's words, because he personally played a core role in the army's efforts to promote the development of helicopters, and Chen Huatian's support for helicopters was almost equivalent to supporting him.

Chen Huatian continued: "I remember that my father and I talked about helicopters last year, and my father was still very interested in helicopters, and he also said that our country must have an atmosphere of continuous innovation, and it is impossible to complete the rejuvenation of China by resting on our laurels!" ”

At this time, Chen Huatian had already quoted Chen Jingyun's words to give a surname to the development of the helicopter unit.
