Chapter 47 New First Division

After dinner, in the south study of Huangshan Villa, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Zhang Xuewu alone. Zhang Xuewu had to admit that Chiang Kai-shek's study is indeed very unique. The reason why it can be called unique is that there is no antique decoration in the study, and there are not many rare books, let alone the Song who does not change. Paper Jade Town!

A simple set of cloth hard spring sofas that many families have, a few elegant bonsai, a semi-new and old desk. With Zhang Xuewu's vision, you can't tell what the specific material is. Most of the simple bookshelves are some political axe documents and State of the State of the Union survey reports, etc., the only one is big one. The propaganda pictorial of the li fascist party seems lonely.

The inscriptions of several calligraphy and paintings are Chiang Kai-shek. Compared with Zhang Xueliang's study, Chiang Kai-shek's study here can only be regarded as simple to the extreme, which is in sharp contrast to the newly repaired Huangshan official residence. Previously, Zhang Xuewu was still listening to Chiang Kai-shek's muting why it should be repaired? It's not as comfortable as getting used to it.

With a kind smile, Chiang Kai-shek first asked for warmth, and then said, "Although Shenyang's resistance to the enemy was suspected of fighting against the order, it played the military prestige and the country, so that the bandit dared not despise me. He should have praised you, taking into account the international public opinion and the policy of political axe, and in addition, your resistance to the front, such atmosphere is not helpful. It's rising, so we can only give up the award, and this reorganization will be regarded as a one-time compensation.

Chiang Kai-shek paused slightly and continued, "There are nearly 8,000 people in your brigade. This time, all the officers and soldiers have been promoted to the first level as a reward. Your department will be compiled into the first division of the new army of the National Revolutionary Army, which is directly under the Military Committee. You are the division commander of the major general, Colonel Hao Wenbin is the deputy division commander, and Colonel Huang Tao is the head of the political department. Ren, you can draw up a list for the rest of the departments and report them to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. These two are the right assistants I transferred to you from the 88th Division. You should cooperate with each other. After the army is reorganized, you can go to the Nanchang camp to replenish the equipment!"

Go to Nanchang for a camp? Zhang Xuewu's head suddenly exploded? Isn't the Nanchang camp the front line of the civil war? I worked so hard that I had to be transferred to the front line of the civil war in the end? Zhang Xuewu is really unwilling, but he doesn't know how to open his mouth?

Chiang Kai-shek saw that Zhang Xuewu was slightly stunned, so he explained: "The weapons ordered by the Ordnance Bureau from the German side will not be shipped until the end of the year. Now all the German weapons in Nanjing have been allocated and replenished to the Fifth Army. Although your new first division will be reorganized in accordance with the German consultant reorganization standards, the weapons It needs to be delayed for a while. I will discuss with George Fotcher tomorrow and send a group of German consultants to help you with the reorganization.

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated and said to Zhang Xuewu, "That's it! It is said that your troops have taken in the personnel of the armored soldiers' school of the Northeast Border Guard. A batch of Vinila armored vehicles purchased in Italy before have arrived in Tianjin because of the war in Shanghai. You can receive them nearby!"

Zhang Xuewu knew that after Chiang Kai-shek drew a lot of cakes for himself, he had no choice but to give himself a red date!

But this red date is also sweet enough, the Italian Vinila armored car? What would that be? An armored car that he had never heard of at all, probably not even a mass-produced model. Thinking of the terrible performance of the Italian army during World War II, Zhang Xuewu's expectations for this batch of Italian-produced armored vehicles dropped a lot.

But it's better than nothing. Zhang Xuewu saluted with a grateful look: "Thank you for the chairman's love. The department vowed to be a role model for this adaptation! In addition, I would like to ask the chairman that our department is not equipped with weapons and equipment now, and it is bound to impress the training. Even if it is changed in the Nanchang camp, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short time. May I ask if our department can purchase self-financing to solve the problem of a batch of weapons for training to form combat effectiveness first?

Buy? Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly. The word "buying" first appeared in the second Northern Expedition, because Guangzhou's national political axe could not guarantee the military expenses and weapons of the armies of the Northern Expedition. All ministries proudly raised their own funds to buy from foreign banks in Shanghai at a high price. Zhang Xuewu actually proposed to buy? The new first division directly under the Central Military Commission of the National Government actually bought it? Doesn't this make Yan Xishan and Li Zongren laugh? You should know that the army of the first division is also 498,000 yuan in just one month, not to mention weapons and equipment. Otherwise, how can the army pull out ten thousand pieces of gold!"

For the sake of safety, Chiang Kai-shek asked, "Chengwen, how are you going to buy arms?"

Zhang Xuewu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to mobilize a wide range of donations. Through the relationship between my cousin Zhang Xueliang, I bought a batch of weapons first to solve the urgent needs."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly and said, "I will ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to allocate a part of the fee to you. To the outside world, it is a normal purchase. Don't mention it. You are now the Central Army and the future National Defense Force. You don't need to say that you can understand this."

Zhang Xuewu nodded cautiously, and Jiang Gong, who almost regarded him as an iron rooster, was also dragged off by Zhang Xuewu! Zhang Xuewu is not afraid of shame, but Chiang Kai-shek can't be afraid! Especially this time, it is for these miscellaneous soldiers to show you the benefits of joining the Central Army. It has become a typical example of Zhang Xuewu and gently knocked Chairman Jiang a few times according to local conditions.

In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek is also helpless. How can there be a good thing for horses to run and horses not to eat grass? Let Zhang Xuewu tighten his belt, his face is yellow and thin, and a group of fat people outside boast: I'm tired of braised pork, and I feel sick to my stomach when I see it? I'm afraid no one will believe it.

After sending Zhang Xuewu away, Chiang Kai-shek returned to the study alone and pulled out a 250,000-to-one Chinese people [***] atlas from the bookshelf. When he turned to Pingjin, he stopped. He followed the main railway line to Chengde. Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, and the hot river had mountains as a screen. There are also the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army and the Jin Army, and their own central army can quickly reinforce north along Zhengzhou and Pingjin.

On the contrary, once the mountain customs is lost, there is no danger in Pingjin. It is said that I'd better take the mountain customs to attack Rehe. In that way, I can at least win six to eight months for myself. One can frustrate the front of the army, and the other is to let those masters who stand and speak without back pain in Pinghe, singing high-profile resistance such as Feng. Yuxiang and others transferred his Northwest Army to fight him, let Feng Yuxiang know that Xiaoyu was not so easy to deal with, and let the troops under the Northwest Army suffer a little. When they understood that there was no good fruit to follow the old officer, they naturally understood.

Annei, Zhenwu, Xingguo! Chiang Kai-shek wrote six big words in a row. He didn't know whether he was not satisfied with the meaning of the word or his own calligraphy. Chiang Kai-shek folded the big words and put them aside.

Suddenly, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes fell on a file sent by the Fuxing Society that the Japanese army added the number of the army in the northeast and the characteristics of the commander's name. The number of the Japanese army made Chiang Kai-shek upset.

Finally, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes fell on the seemingly insignificant point of Shanhaiguan!
