What Zhang Tianhai and Zheng Man did not expect was that the meeting among the superiors would last for two hours.
Of course, as members of the theater commander's department, these combat staff officers and secretaries would not know how to do things. They had already greeted Zhang Tianhai and Zheng Man.
Zheng Man is a new face, so let’s not talk about it, but Zhang Tianhai is a familiar face.
How many regiment-level troops can be directly assigned to combat zone command? In addition to the independent artillery unit, this third theater is directly under the first regiment. How could it not be impressive?
Therefore, Li Zongren's adjutant asked them to wait in Li Zongren's office.
After waiting here for two hours, Zhang Tianhai and Zheng Man finally waited until the officers dismissed the meeting.
But before Zhang Tianhai and Zheng Man could walk out of Li Zongren's office, they were blocked by Li Zongren who was about to come back.
"Aren't you two coming to find me? Why are you leaving as soon as you see me coming back?" Li Zongren asked deliberately with interest.
Seeing that these two young couples came together, and thinking that they were about to get married, could Li Zongren not understand what was going on?
"That's the presumptuous excuse to interrupt, Chief Li. Well, I'm here to see Chief Xu. But I just saw that you were in a meeting, so I waited outside. It just so happened that your adjutant called us to your office. Wait inside, so I just came down the slope and came here." When talking about this, Zhang Tianhai was still quite embarrassed. After all, he was not looking for someone to do anything, so he just came here to make soy sauce and have a good time. Place to sit and that's it.
"What are you looking for, Chief Xu? The front line is tight right now. Our troops on the front line are fighting in full swing. How can we have any free time? You might as well tell me first! I'll see if Chief Xu can arrange some time. ." Li Zongren said seriously, but there was an imperceptible smile in his eyes.
Li Zongren was originally a superior, and he came here just to sit there and was blocked by other officials. How could Zhang Tianhai dare to look at other people's eyes?
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai did not see the joke in Chief Li Zongren's words.
"Then... that, to be honest, sir, I came to the chief's department because I wanted Chief Xu to be the witness for my humble job." Zhang Tianhai's face looked a little confused. After all, this was the time when the front line was in a tight situation. It was also the time when the officers were busiest, but he came to waste their time for his own reasons.
"Oh? The lieutenant colonel in front of you should be Mr. Zheng Boqu's daughter, right?" Li Zongren asked.
"Sir, my father, who holds a humble position, is indeed Zheng Boqu. I wonder if your father has been with me for a long time, sir?" Zheng Man asked directly after saluting with a military salute.
"Your father and I do know each other, but we are not familiar with each other. Since you are Mr. Zheng's daughter, and Zhang Tianhai is a strong man in my war zone army, you are a good match. But there is one thing you did wrong. Get your marriage certificate first." When he said the last sentence, Li Zongren directly used an imperative tone.
Seeing Li Zongren's tough attitude, Zhang Tianhai did not dare to disobey his order, so he handed the two marriage certificates to Li Zongren.
After Li Zongren took the two marriage certificates, he turned directly to his desk without thinking, and made a move that neither Zhang Tianhai nor Zheng Man had expected -
Yes, what Li Zongren did was to sign his name on the marriage certificate and put his seal on it.
And this column is the column for the witnesses.
"Then...that...sir, sir, what are you?" After seeing Li Zongren's actions, Zhang Tianhai was so surprised that he couldn't even speak clearly. He was not the one who stuttered. His usual appearance.
"What's wrong? Even I'm not qualified enough to be your witness? Does it have to be that guy Xu Zuyi?" Li Zongren asked with a smile, and the meaning of protection was evident in his expression.
What is real support? True support is demonstrated by your own real actions!
And Li Zongren happens to be this type. He should be scolded and punished at ordinary times, but at critical moments, he has become more and more popular. This is true for Zhang Zizhong, Pang Bingxun, and Zhang Tianhai.
It's no wonder that this person was able to get so many generals from the Guangxi family to follow him. This in itself is related to personal charm. Obviously, Li Zongren is such a person who relies on his own charm.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you for your love, sir!" Zhang Tianhai said very excitedly. As he spoke, he did not forget to give Li Zongren a military salute. For him, this result can be said to be overjoyed. ——Think about it, who is this Li Zongren? If it were placed in the 21st century, he would definitely be a commander of a war zone. A dignified commander of a war zone comes to witness your marriage. Isn't this an honor?
Well, even if Zhang Tianhai is a student of Chiang Kai-shek, that is no exception. There are some things that cannot be exchanged for status, such as respect and respect.
Zhang Tianhai didn't think that he, a small regiment leader, could ask Li Zongren, a first-level army general, to witness his marriage, but he didn't expect that Li Zongren would take the initiative to write his name in this column.
As a result, this paper wedding letter also has a heavier meaning in it.
"Zhang Yulin, Captain Zhang, you are a young rising star in the national army. I am very optimistic about you. You can't let me down, especially when you fight, you like to disobey orders. Let me tell you, if it were different Any commander who refuses to deal with you, just because of your disobedience on the Linyi battlefield, arbitrarily mobilizing troops and changing combat instructions, is enough to send you to a military court. The military court is not about whether you want to be the commander of the regiment. It's time to hold you accountable." Li Zongren said earnestly, showing his care for young people.
"I understand, I will definitely correct this. Thank you, sir, for your kindness." Zhang Tianhai said very seriously.
Li Zongren let out a long sigh and said: "We don't know how long this war will last. You are all the pillars of the party and the country. I don't want you to fall into the hands of your own people. I hope you can Continue to lead the troops to fight the enemy bravely. You see what I said in newspapers and in front of foreign reporters, saying that the Japanese will lose in a short time. But only we ourselves know how much pressure we are still under, tit for tat with the Japanese army. , in order to win this war so that the nation can gain freedom and gain the right to reproduce."
"This war we are fighting is not only for ourselves, but also for the survival of our nation. So I hope that our Chinese army will have more generals who can fight tough battles and are good at fighting tough battles. And you , I hope you will not disappoint my expectations for you." After saying that, Li Zongren patted Tianhai on the shoulder: "Come on, young man. You can ask Chief Xu to sign the other columns for you. !”
"Thank you, sir." After saying that, Zhang Tianhai once again gave Li Zongren a very standard military salute. This was respect from the bottom of his heart!
At least in terms of the stance of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Zongren's firmness made Zhang Tianhai look at him with admiration, well, to be more precise, he respected him even more.
Li Zongren was originally a figure who left his glorious name in the history books. In essence, although he was a warlord before, it cannot be denied that he was a patriotic warlord, and a warlord who could stand up for the survival of the nation! It was also the belief of these batches of patriotic Chinese people that made China finally win the war of resistance against Japan!
As long as the belief remains, China will not perish!
