In fact, Zhou Wen really wanted to thank the senior party officials who gave Liu Ruoshui the privilege of choosing his own equipment. Because in the eyes of some senior officials, Liu Ruoshui was just a playboy who relied on his family background and had no knowledge or skills. Zhou Wen is a bandit who just came out of nowhere and got lucky. How knowledgeable can they be? How is it possible to know these equipment and materials that represent the highest level of technology in the world? By the time they reacted, Zhou Wen and the others were probably back in Shanxi. At that time, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Come and bite me.
As soon as Zhou Wen returned to the Jianguo Hotel from the warehouse, he saw a group of officers waiting for him at the door. There is also an unexpected Zeng Erniu waiting for him. Zhou Wen got out of the car and saw that they were all acquaintances. Chief Qian, Chief Zhang and Chief Gu's lieutenants are all here. Zeng Erniu, on the other hand, was directly transferred from his army to the Shanxi Party Headquarters Security Department with a stroke of his pen by Chief Qian, retaining the rank of captain.
Zhou Wen asked Gao Xiaoshan to be responsible for settling Zeng Erniu, while he warmly greeted several lieutenants. Several adjutants came to see Zhou Wen for one reason. They came to see Zhou Wen off and give him gifts on behalf of the officers who were busy with official duties.
Zhou Wen was shocked when he took the gift and looked at it.
Chief Zhang’s gift was, to say the least, a Browning M1900 7.65mm pistol, which is also commonly known as the Gun Brand Luzi in China. With its ivory handle and silver body, it looks like a customized limited edition. It looks small and exquisite yet noble and elegant. The handle of this gun is thinner than that of a big-eye gun, and it is also lighter in weight, making it very suitable for women to use. Zhou Wen has long wanted to find a gun like this for Hong Xiu to use, and this is just the right time. It is both beautiful and easy to use. Hong Xiu will definitely like it. In addition, Chief Zhang also presented several newly produced military maps of Shanxi and the whole country, which are all good things Zhou Wen needs.
Chief Qian's gift list made Zhou Wen both happy and worried. He was happy because Zhou Wen really needed the gift, but he was worried about how Chief Qian would explain to the principal after giving the gift. An ambulance converted from a German Opel truck and a set of field rescue medical equipment, including blood transfusion, trauma surgery and other complete equipment. The car is even equipped with a simple operating table. This was given to the National Army for free by the German government in order to thank the National Government for purchasing a large amount of German equipment. There were only three of them in the country, and now Chief Qian, the eldest brother, just gave one to himself in such a grand manner.
You can't accept this gift. You can't deceive Chief Qian and Brother Qian. Zhou Wen pulled Adjutant Zhang aside and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you have any message? This gift is too expensive and conspicuous. I can't accept it. It will harm Sir Qian."
I saw Adjutant Zhang replying softly: "Chief Qian said you must have doubts. Let me tell you, he wants to resign now and can't find an excuse. Resigning for no reason will arouse the principal's suspicion. It's just a good opportunity to use this matter to slander himself and then resign." . This will give the principal a step, and the principal will be embarrassed to recover the car."
"High! It's really high!" Zhou Wen immediately admired Chief Qian in his heart, and Jiang was still very old. My initial suggestion was to keep it simple. Which principal in history was more suspicious than others? Chief Qian knew him better.
Zhou Wen felt happy now that his knot was gone. How could I not accept such a good gift? This is equivalent to Brother Qian getting back the credit for the Central Plains War, and he can feel at ease with it.
The gift given by Chief Gu was in line with his bold and generous style, three German Opel 1.5-ton military trucks. It really comes to whatever you want. Zhou Wen doesn't have to worry about whether to take the railway or the road to enter Shanxi. He can just take the road. To be honest, after receiving so much valuable equipment and a large amount of logistical supplies, even with the privileges granted by the party headquarters, it is still a lot of inconvenience to take the train. Now it's better, I can drive home in a few cars in good condition, and I have all my dignity.
As for Chief Gu, Zhou Wen is not too worried. This chief is a confidant of the principal, and he is always cheerful and generous. The principal could only reprimand him for a few words and be done with it.
As if they had made an appointment long ago, several officers transported the ambulance and Opel truck to the cargo yard of Xinxiang Station on the Pinghan-Han Line. Zhou Wen looked at the map and decided on a plan to start from Xinxiang, enter Jincheng, Shanxi, and then follow the Jintai Highway directly to Taiyuan.
Zhou Wen was really soft on receiving gifts this time. Let’s not talk about generous gifts or not. Maps, ambulances, and trucks are all what Zhou Wen needs now. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are providing help in times of need. The customized limited edition Browning M1900 7.65mm pistol given by Chief Zhang is also extremely valuable. It can easily be sold for thousands of dollars. It is of great collection value and commemorative significance.
Zhou Wen was deeply moved by the love of several officers. I wrote a letter of thanks on the spot for the adjutants to take back. Anyway, we have a long way to go, and there will be opportunities for cooperation and meeting in the future.
Then, on the lawn in front of the Jianguo Hotel, Liu Ruoshui, the special commissioner of the Central Party Committee stationed in Shanxi, held a brief investiture ceremony for all members of the Security Office. According to the list and positions provided by Zhou Wen, Liu Ruoshui brought back everyone's military rank badges and name badges from Nanjing.
Liu Ruoshui first brought Zhou Wen a colonel's collar badge, followed by Lieutenant Colonel Gao Xiaoshan, deputy director, and Major Zhang Jinfa (Miaohua), chief of the operations section. Then the three of them will lead the captain to receive the captain's badge for each team leader. Even Uncle Wu was assigned the position of captain's logistics section chief by Zhou Wen, while Zhou Yongbin was the captain's telecommunications section chief. However, the two of them haven't made military uniforms yet, so they can't wear military rank badges today.
All team members, including Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wei, as well as Feng Tianpei and Li Qiaoer, have the rank of second lieutenant. There is not a single soldier in the entire mercenary group, all of them are officers. From now on, they will be registered by the Shanxi Party Headquarters and receive monthly salary and allowances. If Hongxiu and Xiaohu weren't too young, Zhou Wen would have wanted to give them Daidai. The second lieutenant with the lowest rank also gets a monthly salary of twenty oceans, so it's not free of charge.
This is why the Central Party Committee, adhering to the instructions of the principal to buy horse bones for thousands of dollars, turned a blind eye to all Liu Ruoshui's appointments and approved them. Otherwise, no matter how absurd the Nationalist Government was, it would not be possible to award military titles to people like Old Uncle Wu, Zhou Yongbin and others who had no foothold before. After all, no matter how bad the Nationalist Government’s military ranks were during this period, they still had their own value and significance. of.
Then Liu Ruoshui left with a radio station. After receiving the equipment, he will report the route and specific time to enter Shanxi to the Central Party Headquarters. There are telecommunications personnel among his entourage. Starting from today, he will have regular contact with the party headquarters every day. The party headquarters will also notify governments at all levels along the way to provide reception and care. Since he entered Shanxi on behalf of the Central Party Headquarters, he was an imperial envoy in the past. He had the responsibility of comforting and inspecting various places along the way and the right to remove officials.
