Wang Maoru and Zhang Xiaozhun talked about Switzerland's all-people military system, and Zhang Xiaozhun sighed with emotion that it was no wonder that the European war was raging, but Switzerland, the heart of Europe and China, was unscathed. The two discussed and studied the feasibility of the national reserve in the study, and I don't know how long it took, when they heard the laughter in the living room outside, Wang Maoru looked at the time, and said with a smile: "It's eight o'clock, it should be my daughter-in-law here." ”

"Daughter-in-law?" Zhang Xiaozhun said with a smile, and said in his heart How old is your son, a little more than two years old, how can he have a daughter-in-law?

Wang Maoru said: "Let's stop here today, you sort out these things, and lead the people in the staff to make a good plan, and the sooner the reserve is formulated, the better, preferably before the Spring Festival next year." ”

"Three months, isn't it too tight?" Zhang Xiaozhun said.

Wang Maoru smiled and said: "The time is not tight and the task is not heavy, how can it be handed over to you Zhang Yunnong to do it." ”

Zhang Xiaozhun smiled, but did not show modesty, after a few days of contact, he knew that Wang Maoru was not a person who liked others to be too polite and modest.

The two went down to the study on the second floor while talking, and saw the family of Liu Zhe, the commander of the 13th Division, whose wife Dong Li was chatting with Yuzhuo Yucicada with a child. Liu Zhe went on an expedition to Mongolia with the army, leaving Dong Li at home, she and Yuzhuo and Yucian have always been good sisters, and they get together when they have nothing to do. Now she has given birth to a little daughter named Liu Wenzhu, who is as cute as a crystal elf, Yuzhuo especially likes to be recognized as a future daughter-in-law, Dong Li is also very happy, so Liu Zhe and Wang Maoru have become children and daughters.

Zhang Xiaozhun said with a smile: "Speaking of children's in-laws, I have a son. I'm only five years old this year, but I'm also a baby parent, but it's a pity, alas. ”

"What's going on?" Wang Maoru asked.

In fact, this is a story of personal warmth, Zhang Xiaozhun was entrusted with important tasks by the Qing court after returning to China, and there were many high-ranking officials and nobles who befriended him at that time. Among them, there is such a local businessman in Hubei surnamed Shao Baoqian, whose wife is related to Zhang Xiaozhun wife. And he clinged to it. Shao Baoqian's wife Liu and Zhang Xiaozhun wife became godsisters and became close friends. Later, Zhang Xiaozhun joined the revolutionary army against the Qing court, after the establishment of the Republic of China. On the contrary, Zhang Xiaozhun is getting smaller and smaller as a mixed official. Shao Baoqian thought at first that Zhang Xiaozhun could be like Cai Yi and not scream, after all, he was one of the three heroes of non-commissioned officers, so he said that if the two wives had sons. and they shall be brothers, and if they are daughters, they shall be sisters, and if they are men and women, they shall be married. Zhang Xiaozhun always thought that Shao Baoqian was his friend and gladly accepted it. However, unexpectedly, his official became smaller and smaller, and Shao Baoqian became a Hubei parliamentarian, and his official became bigger and bigger, and he gradually stopped contacting Zhang Xiaozhun.

Later, Zhang Xiaozhun once met Shao Baoqian at Cheng Qian's banquet and talked to him about the marriage of his fingertips, but he didn't expect Shao Baoqian to laugh and say that it was a joke, and Yunong didn't have to take it seriously. Skip it. Zhang Xiaozhun is a serious person, seeing that he repented of his marriage, he was so insulted that he didn't associate with him in a fit of anger, and he didn't even participate in Cheng Qian's invitation.

Zhang Xiaozhun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "People are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, and dogs are not smart by nature. I don't want him to get ahead, but this matter is really annoying. Ten days ago, I received another letter from Shao Baoqian, in which I mentioned the matter again. ”

Wang Maoru was surprised: "Oh? How dare this person have the face to contact you? Is it a matter of fingering for marriage? ”

Zhang Xiaozhun said: "Yes, since this is a marriage between the abdomen, it is destined to marry two children." I don't have any objections, and I say that when the children grow up, we will meet again, if we don't like each other, it's just that, if one party takes a fancy to each other, we must get married as a family to reach the original agreement. ”

Wang Maoru shook his head and reprimanded: "Yunnong, you are so confused, how can such a capricious Huangkou child marry him, even if you are young, it will delay your child's life." ”

Zhang Xiaozhun said: "The words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, how can they break the contract lightly." ”

"Pedantic!" Wang Maoru reprimanded.

Zhang Xiaozhun smiled bitterly, he didn't know the face of his in-laws, but how could this agreement be light. He is a person of faith who flatters Confucianism, puts faith first, and since he has made a covenant of matchmaking for his children, he must abide by it. Wang Maoru laughed at him for being pedantic but couldn't understand it, which is the reason why Zhang Xiaozhun can only be a standard soldier and cannot become a politician, he does not have the shamelessness of a politician.

Wang Maoru said to Zong Ding: "Da Lang, come here." ”

When the young Wang Zongding heard his father's shout, he came over with some fear, although he liked children but he didn't have many children, and the three children were afraid of him. Zong Ding stood up straight timidly, and Wang Maoru asked: "Da Lang, do you like the doll kiss that your mother arranged for you?" ”

Zong Ding looked at his mother-in-law who was smiling with big eyes, and then looked at the child in Dong Li's arms, and said timidly: "Dad, I want a toy gun, I don't want a daughter-in-law." ”

"Hahaha......" The laughter of the adults made Zong Ding inexplicable, Yuzhuo recruited him back, and told him to play with his younger brother, and then complained to Wang Maoru: "You, what does the child know." ”

Wang Maoru said: "Okay, I will be a soldier when I grow up in the future." ”

"I'm not going to let him?"

"What if something happens on the battlefield!" Jade said.

Wang Maoru said slightly angrily: "In the future, all male citizens will have to serve in the military, unless he is not my son or does not become a Chinese." This was the first time Wang Maoru was angry with Yu Zhuo, and Yu Zhuo was a little overwhelmed, and turned his face to the side in anger. After Wang Maoru sent Zhang Xiaozhun away, Dong Li saw that people were arguing and said goodbye, leaving only the Wang family's own family members at home.

Wang Maoru sat next to Yuzhuo, took her hand and said, "You shouldn't rush into me in front of my subordinates, you are not such a reckless person, are you?" ”

Yuzhuo said aggrievedly: "I'm just joking, it's not true, who made you kill me all of a sudden, why are you like this, people can't laugh." ”

Wang Maoru immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." Still angry? ”

Only then did Yu Zhuo turn his head and lean on his shoulder and said, "Then you can't be fierce to me in the future." ”

"Yes, I don't want to be cruel to you." Wang Maoru said. "But at no time can I contradict me in front of my subordinates and my children, as a marshal I must establish absolute prestige, and as a father I must establish my father's prestige."

"I know." Yu Zhuo admitted his mistake and said, "It's not good for me today, I forgot that General Zhang was on the side." "The small conflicts in the family were solved, and the family continued to live. These days, many people have come to visit one after another, and several party callers who are campaigning have also visited Wang Maoru separately in the hope that Wang Maoru will support him.

Although Wang Maoru secretly supported the Baath Party, he still treated everyone equally. What I didn't expect was that some people from the Zhi Gong Party who had returned from overseas also rushed to canvass for votes, and the caller for canvassing votes was Situ Le, a cousin of Situ Meitang, a member of the Zhi Gong Party. Wang Maoru once visited Situ Meitang when he went to the United States seven years ago, but at that time, Situ Meitang was still a Chinese Hongmen speaker in the United States. And Wang Maoru is only a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at best he is just a scholar who has written a book, and he has not even seen anyone in person. Now the situation is reversed, Situ Meitang is too old to cross the ocean, and his cousin Situ Le was able to see Wang Maoru after several visits.

The goal of the Zhi Gong Party is also very simple, if they want to become an opposition party that influences national policy, they do not have the ambition to become the ruling party, they only need to have members of the Zhi Gong Party in the National Assembly. However, it is clear that the current Anfu parliament will not allow other party members to survive, and they can only choose between the Southern Provisional Assembly and the Northeast Democratic Assembly. The Southern Provisional Assembly was all decided by the Kuomintang, and other parties were not allowed to survive. This is similar to the Anfu Council. Although the Northeast Democratic Assembly has not yet been perfected, Wang Maoru, commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, is a non-party soldier, and he has not restricted the following parties, but has only restrained a few of them in a few ways that they are not allowed, and is not allowed to spread partisan ideas among underage students. They are not allowed to spread among the military, they are not allowed to cross party lines, they are not allowed to set up underground parties to implement the real-name system, and they are not allowed to maliciously slander other parties, individuals, and groups through hearsay. For the Zhi Gong Party, which only wants to gain opposition status, they will absolutely abide by these rules, and they are now focusing their campaign on three states. They are Hejiang Prefecture, Dongning Prefecture, and Baorao Prefecture. These three states are all vast and sparsely populated, and only 300,000 immigrants have emigrated from Henan this year, but they are not allowed to vote if they have lived in Henan for less than three years, so the votes in these three states are very small, and it is very easy to win over.

Wang Maoru held a launching ceremony for the election of eight prefectures in Jilin Province in Harbin, and talked with Governor Guo Zongxi about the progress of Jilin Province this year. Guo Zongxi was originally Meng Enyuan's person, but Meng Enyuan was set aside, and he also knew who was the lord of the Northeast, so he hurriedly took refuge in Wang Maoru. Guo Zongxi said that this year, the Jilin Provincial Government has devoted its main energies to three localities, namely, resettlement, land reclamation, and suppression of bandits; in one year, the population of Jilin Province has increased by 800,000 and the number of cultivated land has increased by 4 million.

In the next year, Jilin Province's goals are not only to resettle and reclaim the land, but also to manage and promote the establishment of factories, as well as to build various pharmaceutical factories according to the characteristics of the Northeast Natural Medicinal Material Depot. Wang Maoru said with a smile that the Shuangyashan area of Huachuan County and the Jiguanshan area of Mishan County, as well as Suifen County in your province have a large number of high-quality coal resources, and you can take advantage of this. In the future, the city will rarely use firewood for fire, and the use of coal will be the trend of the future, and the Jilin Provincial Coal Mining Group should be established, Guo Zongxi said he would discuss with government officials.

At this time, Fang Hongxin, the general agent of the United States, suddenly called, it turned out that the United States had accumulated a large number of arms due to the end of the European war, and a large number of arsenals had to stop production and close down due to the reduction of orders, and the East Arsenal was no exception, and asked Wang Maoru to give instructions.

Wang Maoru thought for a while and said, "Let's move the EAST Arsenal to Northeast China, EAST Group will only retain the catering, hotel, and retail industries in the United States, and arrange EAST employees in these industries while laying off employees. But keep in mind that skilled Chinese military technicians and workers, the arms industry, the technology industry, and the machinery industry were transferred to the northeast of the country. He also assigned a site to the East Arms Company, a 100-hectare super-large arsenal in Shuangcheng County, Binjiang Prefecture, which will be built into the third arsenal in Northeast China. As for the East Machinery Company, it will also be relocated and merged as part of the Third Arsenal in the Northeast. rs
