This person's name is Meng Yuting, and he is the leader of the group of officers that Marshal Feng will entrust to Zhou Wen's mercenary group.
After Meng Yuting's father died in the war, he was adopted by the commander since he was a child and supported him in studying and practicing martial arts. After graduating from middle school, he trained in the commander's army. In just a few years, he rose from platoon leader, company commander, to battalion commander. Later, he was transferred to work with the Soviet consultant hired by the commander-in-chief. He was smart, studious, and calm in doing things, and was highly appreciated by the Soviet consultant.
Later, at the suggestion of the Soviet adviser, the commander-in-chief decided to send a group of young military talents to the Soviet Union for further studies. Meng Yuting was the first choice and team leader. The other young people studying abroad also had similar experiences to him, and they were basically adopted by the commander-in-chief. And cultivated, won the commander's trust.
The Soviet advisers even specially applied for two places in China at the famous Soviet Military Academy in Frunze, and gave them to the two best people among them. One is of course Meng Yuting, and the other is named Chen Wanli, the fat young man in front of him.
You must know that at that time, the Soviet Union's Frunze Military Academy, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom, the United States Military Academy at West Point, and the French Military Academy Saint-Cyr were known as the "four major military academies" in the world. It was the cradle of military strategists in the Soviet Union and the world.
It is not easy to enter this academy. In the Soviet Union, you must be an officer who has graduated from various high-level military command schools, has practical experience in unit command, and has reached high standards in combat training and political literacy. You must also be an officer at the battalion level or above. .
The Soviet Union was able to allocate two precious places to the Marshal at the Frunze Military Academy, which shows how much they valued the Marshal's Northwest Army at that time.
Despite Chen Wanli's rough appearance, he doesn't understand the charm. But he is one of those rare people who is thoughtful and considerate. After studying in the Soviet Union for many years, he has become a powerful assistant to Meng Yuting. Among this group of young officers studying in the Soviet Union, his prestige is second only to Meng Yuting.
Meng Yuting's thoughts at this time were not in front of him, but in his heart, he was still melancholy about what happened after returning to China. Unexpectedly, the Northwest Army, which was so strong before studying abroad, had disappeared in just a few years. Looking at the lonely figure of the commander I had admired since childhood, and the pain and unwillingness in his eyes, I never calmed down.
I originally wanted to learn martial arts and become an emperor, but since there is no one else worthy of my service except the Marshal, I might as well stop joining the army and just stay by the Marshal's side. I will provide for him until the end of his life. Forget it for a lifetime.
However, the September 18th Incident affected his heart. According to the current situation analysis, war between China and Japan is inevitable. As a soldier, his responsibility tells him that this is the moment when he needs to use what he has learned in his life to serve the country and kill the enemy. How could it be possible? Live a peaceful life? You must know that when the nest is overturned, there will be no intact eggs. The so-called national crisis is the responsibility of every man, not to mention that he is still a soldier.
The commander's advice from two days ago is still echoing in my ears: "My dear, the man I have chosen for you is not an easy person. Even though he is younger than you, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a monster. He is far-sighted, superb, and good at everything. They work together vertically and horizontally, and use their own strength to fight. Think about it, a 16-year-old boy was arrested and sent to Henan, and he started from scratch. In less than three years, he now has more than a thousand elite soldiers, and dozens of them can run rampant in the world. Expert brothers.
He is also related to a principal in Nanjing, has friendships with many senior generals in the National Army, is comparable to Yan Laoxi's uncle and nephew, and is his eldest brother as the special commissioner of the provincial party department. Even with the three great masters of Confucius, Song Dynasty, and Liu Dynasty, their interests were entangled and intertwined.
Have money, guns, status, and backers. Hehe... Don't talk about three years for most people. Even if you give them thirty years, they may not be able to do it.
The most important thing is that this kid has no political leanings and is not willing to sacrifice his life easily. He just wants to fight against Japan. This is the same ambition as you kids.
The Central Plains War has nothing to do with you, so don’t mind it. I finally saw it clearly. It was better to say that this guy was taking refuge in the National Army to fight against the commander-in-chief. Rather, it was better to say that he was taking advantage of the situation, the National Army's influence, and the principal's influence. It is people like him who are talking about taking advantage of the situation. If they don't fly, they will soar into the sky. If you think about it again, with his current status and background, even if the principal wants to deal with him, he will have to worry about it.
His military level and vision were even more speechless. It was as if he knew what I was thinking. Every move hit me on the waist, which made me miserable. Later I found out that it was his handiwork. , at that time, I wanted to skin this kid and cramp him.
I met this guy yesterday and guess what? He accepts beatings and scoldings, has a respectful attitude, does not defend or admit his mistakes. On the surface, he is a respectful and gentle young man, but in his heart, he is just a slut. In other words, if history repeats itself, he will still do it and will not let other factors shake his determination and strategy. This is amazing, and it is only after seeing this that I can trust you to him.
But I would also like to remind you that this kind of person will not treat his subordinates badly, but he will never allow his subordinates to have different intentions. If you have any objections to him, you can say it to his face. This guy is a master who takes matters into his own hands. You are generous, but if you hide it, it will easily arouse his suspicion. If you go, just follow him wholeheartedly, not to mention that you are exactly the talent this boy needs now.
Although he has trained a group of strong soldiers, no matter how strong they are, they are still soldiers. Soldiers are easy to train. As long as they have money and guns, others can do it. But officers can't be trained. I see that this boy is in short supply of officers. Hehe... He doesn't dare to use it with the principal, and he also has scruples with Yan Laoxi, but for people like you who have no foundation, it's easy to use, and you can use it with confidence. So now is the right time for you to go. This is called providing help in times of need. No matter what happens in the future, he will remember this relationship. "
If Zhou Wen had heard the commander's evaluation of him, he would have immediately admired him. This kind of incisive and accurate analysis and inference really guessed most of Zhou Wen's thoughts and situation. He hit the nail on the head. Yes, he is worthy of being the great figure in the history book.
Just as Meng Yuting was thinking about it melancholy, another young man walked into the teahouse and came directly to the table. Chen Wanli's eyes lit up when he saw him. He quickly poured him a cup of tea and said, "How is it? Did you find anything?"
This person's appearance is nothing outstanding. He is thin and unattractive. He is the kind of ordinary person who is familiar to you when you meet him, but may be forgotten in a blink of an eye.
The man didn't say anything. Under the resentful look in the teahouse owner's eyes, he picked up the filled teacup and drank it in one gulp. Then he drank three cups in a row without stopping. Then he put down the teacup and let out a sigh of relief.
The tea shop owner secretly gritted his teeth and cursed: "Why don't you suffocate yourself to death in one breath, like a country bumpkin?"
