Chapter 36: Being remembered

On the way back to the consultant's residence, George Foxer closed his glasses and said nothing. The fascistism that prevailed in China was obviously not as dangerous as Zhang Xuewu's words, but it also made George Foxer feel a little alert. However, this distant and irresistible warning was soon thrown away by George Foxer. After all, he is a soldier and not a politician.

When getting off the bus, George Ferzer frowned slightly and said, "Miss Mary, I hope to see a detailed information on the young officer Zhang Xuewu on my desk tomorrow. I even know what brand of wine he likes to drink, where he learned German, his true attitude towards Germany, etc."

Mary was a little embarrassed: "You know that Zhang Xuewu is not a person in the Central Military System, and it is difficult for our intelligence network to be effective in the East, which may take some time."

George Fözer smiled and said, "Actually, there is no need to overcomplicate the simple problem. You are a young and beautiful single lady, and he is a single gentleman. One chance encounter is nothing, right?"

Mary's face turned slightly red and said, "I understand sir, but I have to remind you that Orientals often get married very early."

Mary's words made George Foxel slightly stunned, and then looked at Mary's leaving George Foxel smiled helplessly.

Zhang Xuewu in the Beishu room was suffering at the moment. The reason was very simple. The two guys who were bold enough to misappropriate the funds for purchasing military supplies to lend money. Originally, this matter should have been reported to the Military Law Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the National Government, but both of them were involved in the case. One of them was Colonel Huang Zhongyi of the third-phase cavalry department of Chiang Kai-shek, and the other was Lieutenant Colonel Li Guofan, who graduated from the Baoding Infantry School and entered the logistics allocation of the Ministry of Military Affairs from the Guangxi Department. The two colluded to embezzle the funds for more than 200,000 yuan.

Therefore, Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin made his own decision to send the case file to Chiang Kai-shek, one for asking for instructions, and the other for respect.

Zhang Xuewu never expected that he could actually run into the famous "Huang Li case"! It was not right to leave for a while, nor to stay. Zhang Xuewu had only heard of this case, but he was not clear about the result of the case. However, according to Zhang Xuewu's analysis, Li Guofan must have died without a place to bury him, and Huang Zhongyi was born in Huangpu and might be able to keep a glimmer of life.

Soon, the angry Chiang Kai-shek wrote an instruction. Since he stepped down as Chairman of the National Government, he used the private seal of Zhongzheng. The front of the envelope contained the words Jingzhi's personal opening. Deputy Director Huang, who was beside him, browsed the letter slightly and sealed it quickly.

Then Lao Jiang recovered and found that Zhang Xuewu was still waiting aside, so he sighed helplessly: "The rats and cruel officials have now become synonyms for the government of the Republic of China. At the local county level, how many military regiment levels are appointed by the central government and the military and political department? Niang Xipi! What is the central government called if the central government does not have the power of the central government? They are shattering their hands below, and in the end they are scolded! How can the military and political power be inconsistent?"

After venting, Lao Jiang seemed a little tired, so he waved to Zhang Xuewu and said, "I heard that Hanqing gave you a brigade and the troops are stationed in Tianjin? I think you shouldn't lead troops anymore. Today, Chengwen said, I carefully evaluated what you said. You are a talent, and it's a pity to lead troops below. Moreover, your brigade is a mixed brigade. The National Revolutionary Army has abolished the establishment of the mixed brigade since the 18th year of the Republic of China. I think it's better to go to the General Staff after this study! Major General and Senior Secretary are waiting for me?"

Lao Chiang's arrangement made Zhang Xuewu sweat. Could it be that what he said before touched Lao Chiang's nerve? If he didn't lead his troops to be a senior sect? Recalling his terrifying dream after he broke the city in Nanjing, Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said boldly: "Principal, my mixed brigade is stationed in Jinghai, Tianjin. The troops are all the elite soldiers of the former Seventh Brigade, and the officers were promoted after the Chenyang Incident. If such a force is strictly trained, it must be an elite soldier. Our central government army has no troops stationed in North China, and our brigade has more than 7,900 people. As long as Nanjing sends me a deputy brigade commander, political training officer, and political department director to add a group of Huangpu graduates, this troops will definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility."

"Oh?" Old Jiang looked at Zhang Xuewu in surprise with incredible eyes. What Zhang Xuewu said was too incredible. Old Jiang tentatively said: "Is this your idea or Hanqing's idea?"

Zhang Xuewu stood upright and said: "My brother said that the army is the armed forces of the country and should obey the government. Moreover, the Northeast Army has consumed a lot of more than 200,000 troops every day. Besides, sooner or later, it will be unified and reorganized, which is worse than our army as a precedent."

Old Jiang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Since Hanqing agreed, it is best to make such an arrangement. Don't be anxious for the number placed in your department. Let me think about it. Chengwen's actions of loyalty to the party and patriotism are a model. I am very optimistic about you!"

Zhang Xuewu was a little depressed and entangled when leaving the villa. An active colonel brigade commander went to the home of Chairman Shirao who had no official position to ask for instructions and received corresponding reorganization promises? What an incredible thing is this? Perhaps this is the characteristic of this era?

Looking at the car entering and leaving Lao Jiang's villa, Zhang Xuewu could imagine how leisurely he would be after he stepped down?

I'm afraid that at this moment, Jiang and Wang had already secretly contacted each other secretly. In the end, they abandoned Sun Ke and forced Hu Hanmin and Li Zongren to leave, which led to a two-way alliance and each took the needs. Chiang Kai-shek was able to take office as chairman of the Military Commission for more than a month after the telegram was released. It is not a scheming to get rid of all the unfavorable public opinion pressure before!

Wang Jingwei, who cooperated with Chiang Kai-shek, also became the Premier as he wished. The cooperation between the two will also form a pattern of Jiang Zhengzheng and Wang Zhengzheng.

Leaving Lao Chiang's office, Zhang Xuewu returned to the hotel to take out his luggage and go to the Central Army Officer's School in Xiaoying, Nanjing. It can be said that the Nanjing Central Army Officer's School, which was built in 1928, was built by Lao Chiang in order to better grasp the cradle of this officer due to his considerations and concerns after the April 12th Incident in 1927.

As the legend of the golden powder of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Zhang Xuewu did not see the lingering wind and moon of the Qinhuai River, nor did he see the bustling prosperity of Shanghai. It can be said that Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has a history of war covered with blood and tears. This is a city that stands up again in ruins. In some inconspicuous places, you can even find traces of the Hunan Army breaking through the city, and the huge corpse of millions of corpses in Jinling.

The small camp is located in the west gate of Nanjing. The gate of the Central Army Officer's School stands beside two towering ancient trees. Zhang Xuewu stood in front of the main gate and looked up. The main gate is a high gate made of cement bricks. There is a red brick guard booth on both sides of the gate, and two armed soldiers on both sides are on duty.

The iron fence extends along the gate to both sides is a red-colored guardrail, but the top of the guardrail is painted white gray. The main building facing the gate office building is a three-story square building with a typical oriental characteristic. The second floor extending on both sides is the teacher's office. Obviously, the teaching building inside cannot be seen outside the gate, but the wide playground can be seen.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath, took out his report and officer certificate in front of the gate and handed it to a sentry. After the sentry checked the registration number of the report in the certificate approval registration book, he saluted a clean and neat gift!

This is the Nanjing Army Officer School? The inheritance of the Whampoa Military Academy? Zhang Xuewu still remembers a document he read in later generations. In January 1937, it was counted that there were more than 127,500 officers (second lieutenant to colonel) from the National Government who graduated from regular military academies. They fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders until February 1939. According to statistics from the National Government Military Committee, there were only less than 4,000 survivors! At this moment, the wall of heroes soaked in many blood has not been built yet!
