Chapter 850: Accept people first

When night fell, on the dock of Qingdao Naval Base, the joyful crowd had dispersed, only the warships were quietly moored on the shore, the light gray hull was majestic and dignified in the night, and the hull was gently patted against the hull, and the warship was as peaceful as a baby sleeping in the arms of a mother.

The duty of the military port has been taken over by the troops of a brigade of Li Honggang's 29 th Corps, and the figures of the sentries stand under every warship, and there are also groups of mobile patrol sentries passing through the spacious wharf from time to time; Tang Qiuli's requirements for the defense of the entire fleet are extremely strict, and no one is allowed to approach the wharf and warships, and this is an independent system that distinguishes it from other units of the independent division stationed in Qingdao.

Even the password at night is not the same, it was formulated by Li Honggang alone, once the person who approaches at night has the wrong password or the appearance is suspicious, the patrol sentry has the right to shoot and kill on the spot, even Tang Qiuli or Li Honggang himself, without the correct password and a series of procedures, do not want to enter the military port, in Tang Qiuli's words, these treasures from afar, how to protect these treasures.

It is not the largest and most luxurious hotel in Qingdao, but it is definitely the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Qingdao, Jufushun Restaurant, compared with the surrounding hotels with flashing neon lights, it is less lively.

Tonight, at the entrance of the restaurant, a sign more than one person high was erected, on which were written several large characters in old Song style, "Distinguished guests charter the venue," a few guys in blue and black plackets, with snow-white cuffs rolled up, and white máo scarves on their shoulders, did not notice the sign, and the guests on the mén kept clenching their fists and apologized, saying kind words in their mouths.

Some guests were puzzled and asked the guy at the mouth of the mén, the guy lowered his voice and told the guest mysteriously: "You don't know yet, the distinguished guests who chartered the venue tonight, but our Vice Chairman Tang, that is an official who is bigger than the chairman of our Shandong Provincial Government and the commander of the Provincial Garrison Command, Li Honggang, and the banquet is still an old máo official, you say, can we wait carelessly?" Sorry, you'll come back another day."

The polite words contain pride, for a small restaurant, it can make this famous official in the whole country, the anti-Japanese hero choose here, the guys all feel proud and proud, looking at the neon glittering hotels around, they usually feel a little aggrieved, dàng is gone, and the tone is getting higher and higher.

Tonight, it was indeed Tang Qiuli who chartered the venue, and the banquet was attended by all the officers of the Pacific Fleet of the former Soviet Union at or above the rank of captain, and according to Tang Qiuli's wishes, all the Soviet sailors were invited, but more than 13,000 people went there to find such a big hotel, so they had to give up.

Although it is only an officer, there are nearly a thousand people, the navy is a technical service, the ratio of officers to soldiers is very low, almost seven or eight people, there is an officer, Tang Qiuli did this, one is to let these Soviet sailors feel their enthusiasm, eliminate the shadow of prisoner of war in their hearts, and be able to let go of their hands and feet.

Second, it is also to tell these Soviet soldiers, you have arrived on the land of China, and you have to follow the way of the Chinese, including eating, which is also the reason why he chose the largest Chinese restaurant in Qingdao, Jufushun Restaurant, first you can transition for a period of time, eat in the western restaurant of the naval base, and later, it is the Chinese food of Qingyi sè, Tang Qiuli can take great pains for this fleet.

In addition to Tang Qiuli, he was accompanied by Major General Zhang Quan, director of the logistics department of the Independent Division, as well as officers at and above the division commander level, Major General Li Honggang, commander of the 29th Corps of the Independent Division, and of course Major General Tang Qiuquan, head of the special operations detachment, and all the officers above the commander level of the special operations detachment to accompany him, all of whom together exceeded 1,000 people.

Those ordinary Soviet sailors who did not have the opportunity to attend the banquet did not lose anything, at the base, it was also a big feast, all the soldiers of the special operations detachment were accompanied, and they experienced more than ten days of sea voyages together, and they experienced the baptism of war together, and the expression of the soldiers of the special operations detachment of the independent division won the respect of the Soviet sailors, and also had some comrades-in-arms.

Several colonels and officers of the Pacific Fleet were separated from Tang Qiu's table, and the commander, political commissar and chief of staff of the fleet all committed suicide, and the captain of the aircraft carrier "Konizov", Colonel Manikovsky, was one of the commanders with the highest rank, and his appearance on the way made Qiuquan very satisfied, and Tang Qiuli naturally understood this qiē.

The experience of today made these Soviet naval officers feel like they were in a dream, first the grand welcome ceremony on the dock, then the sumptuous banquet now, and those complete base facilities, which are several times stronger than Haishanwei's knowledge, and the deepest feeling is the respect that the Chinese people and the common people respect them.

Originally, there were more than 15,000 captured Soviet soldiers, and more than 2,000 people were wantonly killed and tortured to death by Japanese soldiers in the prisoner of war camp.

The identity of prisoners of war will not be treated well there, and it is quite rare to be able to save their lives, but today in Qingdao, China, what happened has subverted the inherent thinking of Soviet soldiers, they are not prisoners of war, but soldiers who have returned triumphantly, and people greet them with fresh huā and cheers.

Tang Qiuli got up, picked up a glass of wine, his bright eyes swept softly across every table, just at this glance, the officers of the Soviet Red Army present seemed to be touched somewhere in their hearts, and everyone felt that the Chinese general was having a jiāo flow with himself, and at that time he was full of expectation and sincere eyes.

"Heroic Soviet soldiers, on the way home, you defeated the crazy siege of the Japanese Navy with a brave battle jīng god, showed your due military spirit, worthy of the honor of soldiers, and won the respect of all of us, on behalf of the Chinese Civil Affairs Commission, I announce that all officers have been promoted to the rank of first, and the treatment of soldiers has been doubled."

"I hope that from now on, you will forget your former identity, you are the same as the ** people here, you are a member of the naval fleet of my North China Independent Division, here, you will be treated higher than our other troops, for our common future, please cheers" Tang Qiuli finished speaking, and drank all the wine in the cup.

This is his brilliance, giving the captured Soviet soldiers a personality and jīng divine respect, and then it is a promotion of officers, improving the treatment of fleet soldiers, jīng divine encouragement and material rewards, these hopeless Soviet soldiers who return to their homeland will not die for themselves in the future.

"Collect people first," Tang Qiuli knows this well, these Soviets are the treasures of their future powerful navy, let him work hard, he has to be given corresponding treatment, in addition, but also because they are Soviets, if these captured are the Japanese Navy, Tang Qiuli would have ordered Brother Qiuquan to throw these garbage into the Sea of Japan to feed the sharks, the things in the bones of the Japanese are difficult to remove, Tang Qiuli also hates the Japanese, as for the Soviets, he doesn't have too much bad feelings.

All the officers of the Soviet Navy drank all the wine in their cups, and the words of this division commander Tang were already very clear, they were no longer prisoners of war, but members of the squadron, and there was treatment beyond their imagination, especially those colonels, who entered the ranks of generals in a blink of an eye, for a soldier, the general's dream is a memory that will never retreat.

Colonel Manikovsky felt the deepest, looking at the high-spirited Tang Qiuli, on his young face, it was the kind of look that only a wise man had, following such a commander, the future road will not be lonely, he drank the wine in the cup, because jī moved, the wine spilled a little, maybe at this moment, Manikovsky, a Soviet officer, strengthened his belief in following Tang Qiuli all his life, he was one of the earliest enlightened people of the entire Soviet Pacific Fleet.

This night, many Soviet naval officers were drunk, drunk in a foreign land and a strange land, and woke up in the morning, perhaps their own blood has been immersed in the breath of this land, and since then, they have been connected with the fate of this land.

The next day, Tang Qiuli presided over a meeting on the formation of the naval fleet of the independent division, the former Soviet Pacific Fleet was reorganized into the Huaxia Fleet of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuquan, the commander of the special operations detachment of the independent division, served as the commander of the fleet, and Rear Admiral Manikovsky, the former commander of the aircraft carrier "Konyzov" of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, served as the first deputy commander of the fleet, and at the same time, Qiuquan's military rank was also promoted from major general to vice admiral.

The appointment of Brother Qiuquan as the commander of the fleet, Tang Qiuli was carefully considered, such a huge fleet, without a calm and dignified person to preside, he was very uneasy, and when the brothers had a long talk last night, Tang Qiuli was surprised to find that his cousin, expressed his unique views and opinions on the navy, which surprised him.

This can only be described as talent, Tang Qiuli's sincere admiration for Brother Qiuquan, in just ten days, Brother Qiuquan has already reached the threshold of the navy, and his understanding and mastery of the navy has surpassed himself, he never knew that Brother Qiuquan has a strong interest in this area.

In time, Tang Qiuquan will definitely become a member of the Chinese Navy, and Qiuquan himself is also very confident in taking up the post of commander of the fleet, as for the candidate for the commander of the special operations detachment, Tang Qiuli solicited Qiuquan's opinion, and Qiuquan did not hesitate to recommend Chu Tian, the leader of the Ninth Special Operations Detachment, to take over.
