With this "salute", all the guards downstairs stood at attention and saluted.
The person responsible for shouting this "salute" was Liu Houming, the person in charge of this security operation.
Liu Houming has been with Zhang Tianhai for a long time, and it goes without saying that the tacit understanding must be perfect, so Zhang Tianhai asked Liu Houming to be the person in charge of the security operations here.
Regarding this operation, Zhang Tianhai did not talk too much and said directly to Liu Houming, "This is a face-saving project operation. You must do it well. As an elite of the regiment, you must give the people of Lanling a good Let them see what the elite of our city defense force looks like."
After hearing these words, Liu Houming finally understood what the group leader wanted to do. To put it bluntly, wasn't it just a show?
Liu Houming was also a smart man, so he took advantage of the afternoon to immediately order the troops to arrange the outside of the restaurant, and figured out a good way to salute when the regiment leader came in.
As Zhang Tianhai came in, the guards standing on both sides kept standing at attention and saluting. With this scene, if you didn't know that Zhang Tianhai was just a small city defense commander, you would have thought that he must be at least a military commander, or the commander-in-chief of a group army. It's a level.
For these merchants in Lanling City who have not seen much of the world, since Commander Zhang is the commander of Lanling's city defense and the highest-ranking military attache in Lanling County, he should enjoy this kind of honor.
The first regiment directly under the third war zone is well-equipped, but it does nothing to the common people. The wealthy merchants in Lanling County have heard about it for a long time, and even experienced it personally, so they are not sure what Zhang Tianhai is doing now. Not objectionable.
"Hello, Commander Zhang!"
"Hello, Commander Zhang!"
"Hello, Commander Zhang!"
After reaching the second floor, almost everyone was saying hello to Zhang Tianhai.
In response, Zhang Tianhai thanked everyone with fists in his hands, and then walked towards Chen Dazhi.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang has important military matters, so he is late. Please don't blame Mr. Chen." Zhang Tianhai pretended to have a wry smile on his face and said to Chen Dazhi, clasping his fists.
I saw Chen Dazhi looking at Zhang Tianhai, with a light in his eyes that only the two of them could understand, and said, "Commander Zhang has worked hard and made great achievements. He has been training troops for the war of resistance. Although he is old, he is not indifferent to right from wrong." stop."
After saying that, Chen Dazhi said to Zhang Tianhai, "Commander Zhang, please."
"Mr. Chen, please go first." Zhang Tianhai said very politely. After all, this image of respecting the elderly and loving the young must be established.
After Chen Dazhi sat down, Zhang Tianhai stood up, clasped his fists and said to everyone in front of him, "Everyone, please take your seats!"
After the guests were seated, the dishes were served. There were not many dishes, probably some of the more famous local side dishes, only about five or six dishes, one dish per person on average, which was already enough given the material situation during the war. Very good.
At the same time, some famous local wine, Lanling Shaodao Liquor, was also served, and the aroma of the wine filled the entire second floor for a while.
After drinking for three rounds, Chen Dazhi finally brought up the topic.
He stood up slightly tremblingly, holding a cup in his hand, and said, "Fellow compatriots, leaders of Lanling County. I feel honored to be able to drink a glass of thin wine with you all here today. It is a pleasure to see these leaders from Lanling County sitting together and chatting about life."
"However, there may not be many opportunities." Chen Dazhi sighed, "Now that the Japanese invaders are marching southward, they are already close to Mengyin. Even if the Japanese invaders lose Mengyin, they will quickly get it back. Now that the war is approaching, Lanling seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is very precarious. In inviting everyone here today, I actually want everyone to contribute to Lanling County."
"County Magistrate Chen, if you have anything to do, just say hello. Little Japan is now heading south. We also want to do something for Lanling and Shandong." During the banquet, a tall businessman stood up and said.
"Yes. Boss Li is right. We have wanted to do something for Lanling for a long time, but we just don't have these opportunities." Someone immediately agreed in the audience.
"Mr. Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as our Lanling Chamber of Commerce can help, I won't hesitate."
"Yeah, I've been wanting to help with something for a long time."
…
Everyone at the banquet responded one after another, and the general theme was still about wanting to help.
Chen Dazhi raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be silent, and then said, "Okay, I have received your thoughts. Now, let me talk about this matter."
Chen Dazhi cleared his throat and said, "In Lanling City, the First Regiment of Commander Zhang's Third War Zone is currently stationed. It is very peaceful now, but people have to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan a region. Zhang The first regiment directly under the commander's third theater is the essence, and sooner or later it will go to the battlefield to fight against Japan."
"Commander Zhang's troops are currently stationed in Lanling for training, so I have an idea to recruit some Lanling soldiers as Lanling's city defense troops. In this way, even if Commander Zhang's troops are transferred, Lanling will still be able to defend the city. Rather than being left unguarded, this unit was trained by Commander Zhang.
Everyone has seen Commander Zhang's troops. They have strict military discipline. Moreover, Commander Zhang is a top student who graduated from Huangpu Military Academy. Don't worry, I don't know. What do you think? "After saying that, Chen Dazhi looked at everyone.
"Since County Magistrate Chen cares about Lanling, everything starts from Lanling. Magistrate Chen, it's up to you to decide. We have the money to contribute and the ability to contribute." Someone responded on the spot.
Then, there was a roar of response.
"Thank you for your support." Chen Dazhi stood up and clasped his fists in thanks.
"County Magistrate Chen's words are wrong. How can there be a complete egg in the nest? How can the general be attached to the skin without the skin? Although Li has a small fortune, he is still willing to help Lanling City and the people of Lanling!" The tall businessman just now stood up again and said.
"I am willing to help Lanling and the people of Lanling!"
"I do too!"
"In addition, Commander Zhang has also encountered a difficult problem, which also requires everyone to do some modest efforts. I also hope that everyone can help, just like Commander Zhang is willing to send people to help us train in Lanling County for free. The same as the city defense troops." Chen Dazhi said bluntly.
"Commander Zhang said it doesn't matter, the Lanling Chamber of Commerce will do its best to help." The boss Li just said, it seems that he is one of the principals of the Lanling Chamber of Commerce.
"Zhang's troops fought out from places such as the Shanghai battlefield and the Nanjing battlefield. Zhang's troops may be fine on the Central China battlefield, but when it comes to the vast North China battlefield, they seem to have insufficient mobility, so Zhang wants to fight among the troops. We have set up a cavalry company in the Central Military Commission, but due to insufficient military funds, it is actually difficult to do so." Zhang Tianhai stood up and said.
At this moment, at the banquet, a middle-aged man in brown clothes stood up, clasped his fists at Zhang Tianhai and said, "Commander Zhang has decided to help us train the city defense troops in Lanling County for free, and Commander Zhang's troops They are the anti-Japanese forces again, and we, the Lanling Chamber of Commerce, will definitely help us to the end. Commander Zhang, please rest assured!"
After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai finally let go of most of the cavalry matters and had peace of mind.
