The place Zhang Chenggong wanted to take Zhang Tianhai to was naturally the place formerly occupied by the garrison.
Although Lanfeng County is small and not well-known, it is well-equipped and has everything it should have - such as the garrison area and the city defense headquarters.
Zhang Chenggong also knew that what Zhang Tianhai needed to see urgently should be the garrison area, not the city defense headquarters, so it was the garrison area that he took Zhang Tianhai to see.
Perhaps he was wary of Zhang Chenggong, so Zhang Tianhai was extra cautious and careful about Zhang Chenggong.
It is precisely because Zhang Tianhai is more cautious and attentive to Zhang Chenggong that every move of Zhang Chenggong is under his control. He also discovered that Zhang Chenggong is a thoughtful person and knows how to figure out people's strengths.
There is no need to pay too much attention to these things. This can be seen from the fact that Zhang Chenggong first took them to the garrison area and their area - after all, for Zhang Tianhai, the arrangement of the garrison area is the most important thing. The most important thing.
The garrison area is stationed near the city gates on all sides. These places can almost be said to support the city gate operations at any time.
The city defense headquarters in Lanfeng County is similar to the city defense headquarters in Lanling County, both located in the center of the city.
After Zhang Chenggong led Zhang Tianhai and others to observe the locations of the garrison area and the city defense headquarters, he proposed to clean up Zhang Tianhai and others.
I have to say that Zhang Chenggong's request was quite timely. After all, Zhang Tianhai hadn't eaten anything all the way from Kaifeng, and he was indeed a little hungry. Furthermore, he also needed to take advantage of the situation. Take a good rest.
Zhang Chenggong's request was very tempting. Zhang Tianhai agreed immediately without thinking about it. After all, he could take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the situation in Lanfeng County. Zhang Chenggong was the county magistrate of Lanfeng County. The reason is that I don’t know the situation in Lanfeng County.
"I'm really grateful to Commander Zhang for this. This is a courtesy to me. After your garrison came to our Lanfeng, they shouldered the responsibility of guarding the land and defending the country. I would like to thank Commander Zhang first for the people of Lanfeng County. And sirs." Zhang Chenggong said.
Hearing Zhang Chenggong's words, Zhang Tianhai felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After all, someone kindly invited him to dinner, and it was indeed not good for him to be so suspicious of someone, especially since his conscience was a bit difficult.
As a result, Zhang Tianhai's expression finally softened a little. He hugged his fists towards Zhang Chenggong and said: "County Magistrate Zhang, you are a little too polite. I should be the one thanking you tonight. Thank you." Yes. If it weren’t for County Magistrate Zhang’s warm reception and guidance, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to complete the handover task so quickly, right?”
When Zhang Tianhai said this, his eyes were all looking at Zhang Chenggong. He wanted to see the expression on the latter's face.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, Zhang Chenggong's face couldn't help but twitch slightly, and then he forced a smile and said: "A humble position is also a duty, otherwise it wouldn't be right, right? Right?"
Zhang Tianhai could hear the complaint in Zhang Chenggong's tone, but he had to pretend not to hear it... Otherwise, the atmosphere would be very awkward.
In fact, it's no wonder that Zhang Chenggong complained. Zhang Tianhai seemed to have a grudge when he saw him, and he never smiled. This is how he was received when he came out. If he didn't receive him, he would be chopped alive. he?
If the position of county magistrate were placed in modern times, it would undoubtedly have great power. However, in times of war, this county magistrate is nothing. Even if he is a mayor, a leader of the level of Zhang Tianhai may not be a bird. As for him.
In times of war, generals who are unfavorable in frontline operations will be shot, let alone a county magistrate who does not have much real power - war is an emergency period, and all actions must serve the military.
If Zhang Chenggong does not come out to greet Zhang Tianhai and does not cooperate with the garrison defense work, if Zhang Tianhai writes a report to the headquarters of the First Theater Commander and reports the situation to Commander Cheng Qian, let alone Zhang Chenggong. The question of whether the county magistrate's position can be saved is another matter. Let's talk about whether Zhang Chenggong's head can be saved. That's another question.
Therefore, it is precisely because he knows the seriousness of the consequences that Zhang Chenggong must unconditionally cooperate with Zhang Tianhai's defense work.
But at this point, Zhang Chenggong was very successful. At least Zhang Tianhai's nameless hostility towards him slowly subsided. Otherwise, if there was such a powerful military commander watching here, Zhang Chenggong's Life is not easy either.
But no matter what, now Zhang Tianhai's goal has been achieved, and Zhang Chenggong's goal has also been achieved, and both parties are happy.
The dinner was held at the most famous hotel in Lanfeng County, called Yueyang Tower Hotel. I don’t know if the owner of this hotel is from Yueyang, so this restaurant chose a hotel that was different from theirs in Lanfeng or even in Henan Province. Such a related name.
However, all of this does not seem to have much to do with Zhang Tianhai. After all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. He is only responsible for eating.
The cuisine here is still a little different from the cuisine in Lanling County. After all, Shandong cuisine and Henan cuisine are two different cuisines.
However, the common point is that there are still chicken, duck and fish.
After all, as I said, fighting on the frontline will return to fighting, and war will return to war. There is still some entertainment money that is not commonly used, and you can squeeze it out with a quick search.
Zhang Chenggong is a very knowledgeable person. He also knew that Zhang Tianhai and his party were probably overworked, hungry, and possibly tired. Therefore, Zhang Chenggong did not look for Zhang Tianhai and others when they had not eaten. Instead of drinking, they waited until they had eaten something and had something to fill their stomachs before asking Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie, and Guo Qiliang to propose a toast.
"Welcome the three officers to lead the troops to station in our Lanfeng County. On behalf of the Lanfeng County Government and the people of Lanfeng, I, Zhang Chenggong, would like to toast the three officers first. I hope that the three officers can lead the troops to stay in our city and guard Lanfeng. The sealing side is safe. To prevent the great rivers and mountains of Lan Feng from falling into the hands of the Japanese invaders, in order to wish the three officers a successful start, I, Zhang Chenggong, drink this first!" When Zhang Chenggong came over and toasted to Zhang Tianhai and others, The Lanfeng County government officials behind him also stood up, holding a glass of liquor in their hands.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianhai felt that he might have underestimated Zhang Chenggong. None of these Nanfeng County government officials were idle when Zhang Chenggong acted. They all followed closely behind him. In other words, this The officials who helped Lanfeng County Government followed Zhang Chenggong's lead.
Moreover, Zhang Tianhai understood clearly the meaning of Zhang Chenggong’s words. In the final analysis, Zhang Chenggong still hoped that the troops of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone could defend the county town of Lanfeng and prevent it from falling. into the hands of the Japanese invaders.
Zhang Tianhai felt that just by saying this, he had to drink with Zhang Chenggong - obviously, Zhang Chenggong was not a mediocre person, he had real abilities, otherwise he would not have been able to let these officials express their inner feelings. to do things with him.
Just because Zhang Chenggong can say this about considering the people of Lanfeng, at least he is a good official. As for whether he is a good person, that is another matter.
As a result, Zhang Tianhai stood up from his seat and signaled to Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang that they did not need to drink this glass of wine and could just wait for him to come.
After all, this is a new place. Whether it is the officers and soldiers of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone or the main military officers at their three decision-making levels, they don’t know much about Lanfeng County. .
Every place has its own customs and characteristics, and Lanfeng County is no exception. We are not afraid of others. We are just afraid that some problems will arise when these soldiers or troops are stationed.
Whether it is a big issue or a small issue, at least one of the three military officers who can play a decision-making role must be sober.
If something goes wrong in the army while the three of them are drunk, it will be big trouble.
So, Zhang Tianhai stood up, took the wine glass, walked towards Zhang Chenggong, and said: "Thanks to County Magistrate Zhang and the officials of Lanfeng County Government for taking care of us. In fact, this glass of wine is also a thank you for everyone's support for us." . What County Magistrate Zhang just said is that he wants our First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone to stay in Lanfeng County to continue the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War. I, Zhang Yulin, am also looking forward to it and hoping very much. However, our First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone , no matter how you say it, it is a combat force whose bounden duty is to obey orders. As long as the commander-in-chief allows us to stay in Lanfeng County, I, Zhang Tianhai, will definitely lead my troops to live and die with Lanfeng! Without receiving Prior to the order from the commander's department, my third theater is directly under the first regiment headquarters. No one under Zhang Tianhai will withdraw from the Lanfeng battlefield! Come, drink this glass of wine! I wish us success in the battle to drive out the Japanese invaders. The land of China!”
When Zhang Tianhai said these words, he was impassioned and confident, as if if the Japanese invaders came to the city tomorrow, they would definitely fight to the end.
However, who knows that he is not optimistic about defending Lanfeng in his heart, but if he must defend Lanfeng, he will definitely lead his troops to fight to the end.
The overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War always requires some people to sacrifice and sacrifice. If the motherland and the people need him, he will definitely fight to the end.
Because his soul belongs to China in the 21st century, his education from a young age has taught him to be patriotic and take the overall situation into consideration. This is also his inner persistence, the belief of a pioneer and exemplary Communist Party member.
With that said, Zhang Tianhai started to do it as a token of respect. A glass of spicy white wine snaked down his throat, directly burning his stomach. A warm current suddenly surged throughout his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.
This made Zhang Tianhai, who had not had a drink for a long time, couldn't help shouting: "Good wine! Really good wine! Enough! We must drink to our heart's content today!"
Seeing Zhang Tianhai's appearance, the faces of the Lanfeng County government officials opposite finally relaxed slightly.
