Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 866: Discussing wine around the world

After the economic work conference, Tang Qiuli drove to his father-in-law's house. This was a pre-arranged decision. If he returned to Dingbian without visiting Mr. Mei's house, he could not predict the consequences. Maybe Mr. Mei would come to the house to question him. Moreover,

He said that he also respected his father-in-law very much. The two men had a lot in common. It was a deeper communication between two men and had nothing to do with seniority, age or even status.

In the midst of Mr. Mei's loud voice, Tang Qiuli stepped into the living room of his father-in-law's house and saw his beloved son-in-law arriving just as he spoke. Mr. Mei laughed loudly and said, "Qiu Li, I was talking about you, and here you are.

,Meiling has made me anxious, come, come and sit."

Mei Ling immediately stood up and saluted, "Reporting to the division commander, Mei Ling, a student of the Intermediate Command Department of Dingbian Military Academy, is reporting for duty. Please give instructions, sir." As he saluted, a third-class warrior medal on his chest shone brightly under the light.

This was obtained by Meiling in the battle to regain Shanxi. In that battle, Meiling was seriously injured and he also understood what a soldier is.

Tang Qiuli returned the gift and looked at his brother-in-law with admiration. The temperament of a person who has experienced the baptism of war is different. The current Meiling has completely lost the rawness of a green young man. Instead, it is

The strong military atmosphere exuded, and that experience on the verge of life and death tempered his heart and will.

Tang Qiuli turned around and bowed slightly to his father-in-law, "Dad, how are you?" After saying that, he took out two boxes of exquisite cigars from his pocket and handed them over. He knew that his father-in-law had this hobby, and he would pay attention to this wherever he went.

In Qingdao, a Belarusian nobleman gave him two boxes. The Belarusian nobleman said that these were top-quality Cuban cigars, each box worth more than fifty yuan.

Mr. Mei took it, smelled it carefully, looked intoxicated, and said with a big smile: "Okay, there's nothing to worry about. I'm strong and strong, but there's one thing. We can't talk to your father. It's okay. I'll go with you."

Your mother has also been to your house several times. She originally thought we

Brothers, let's have a good chat, and we will have company in the future. You know, your dad can't understand what I said, and I don't know what your dad said. What's going on? It's like a carriage on two roads, you

Mom, the two old sisters really chatted happily, but they haven't seen each other for a while, and they are still worried."

Tang Qiuli smiled. This is not surprising. The two elderly people are from different levels. Their experiences and environments are completely different. If he talks to his father about how good the crops are, how much fertilizer can be used to harvest more grain, and how well they can be stored.

There are endless topics to talk about. Similarly, when I talked about military affairs and war with my father-in-law, I kept him awake for three days and three nights, and he was still very energetic. However, in Tang Qiuli's mind, he did not despise himself because of his father's behavior.

's origin.

Mei Ting and Mei Xue came back early. When they saw Tang Qiuli, they both smiled brightly and went to help their mother-in-law. After sitting down, Tang Qiuli asked Mei Ling: "Meiling, you should graduate in another year, right?"

?distribute

Is the direction roughly decided?" "Yes, brother-in-law, I want to ask you something. Tell our dean that when the assignment is made, assign me to the corps directly under the division headquarters. I can do anything, as long as I can

In the field troops.”

After Mei Ling finished speaking, he looked at Tang Qiuli eagerly, with a look of longing on his face. Tang Qiuli pondered for a moment, General Jiang Baili, the president of Dingbian Military Academy, had already reported the distribution destination of these graduates, and initially made plans to distribute them to various corps.

The purpose of Jiang Baili's internship at the brigade-level headquarters was to protect these officer cadets who had been trained with great difficulty.

This is the first batch of trainees to graduate from Dingbian Military Academy. The original intention of the old general is not to let the future grassroots commanders of these troops disappear prematurely in the whirlpool of war. There is a process of adaptation and training in the troops, so

, are placed in the brigade-level headquarters and serve in various staff positions.

There is another saying here that they are all units under the ** Division, but their nature is completely different. Take Yuan Jinghao's Corps as an example, it is a second-line garrison corps, while the corps under the ** Division can be called a complete field battle.

regimental,

There are only the directly affiliated corps under the direct command of Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, Liu Tiehan's troops under the Northeast Advance Command, Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and Li Honggang's 29th Corps.

If Tang Qiuli's estimate is correct, students like Meiling and others will be assigned to second-line garrison corps, such as Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Border Defense Army, Yuan Jinghao's Pingjin Guard Command, and Tian Shuangxi's Luyu Guard Command.

Then there are Zhou Yushan's **Division Transportation Headquarters troops.

Tang Qiuli didn't quite agree with General Jiang Baili's distribution plan in his heart. He had always believed that a real soldier should have experienced the test of life and death on the battlefield of blood and fire before he could grow up. This was better than

It worked even if he taught it a hundred times in class, but he understood the old general's painstaking efforts better.

What are the chances for students who have just graduated from the military academy to survive on a cruel battlefield? No one can bear the thought of saving up some wealth and losing it all at once. Therefore, after Tang Qiuli pondered for a while, he said: "

This is assigned by your college, but it is easy to transfer it to the directly affiliated corps."

At this point, Mrs. Mei passed by and happened to hear Tang Qiuli's words. The old man didn't say anything, but Tang Qiuli keenly saw the deep worry and opposition in his mother-in-law's eyes, which instantly stung him.

With my heart in mind, I didn’t say the following words.

Mei Ling was very happy. In his opinion, as long as his brother-in-law said a word, there would be no problem. He might be the first one among more than a thousand classmates to be assigned to the field corps. Mr. Mei was also very happy.

He kept praising his son for his potential, but he didn't see the old lady's anxious eyes and frequent gestures.

The family gathered together to eat. Mr. Mei happily took out a bottle of fine wine and insisted on drinking a few glasses with Tang Qiuli. After a glass of mellow and spicy wine, Mr. Mei suddenly said with emotion: "Qiu Li

Ah, I really didn’t expect that you actually brought more than a hundred Soviet warships back to Qingdao from the Japanese. It’s amazing. We in China are short of aircraft, warships, tanks and artillery.”

"After the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, the entire Beiyang Navy was wiped out, and our Chinese naval dream was completely shattered. What followed was a melee between warlords. Today I will fight you, and tomorrow you will fight me. You can seize territory and occupy the hills. How about you?

After I sang, I came on stage. All I was thinking about was my own selfish interests. I didn’t care about the country. I turned a great river and mountain into a smog and made it difficult for the people to live.”

"Next, the great powers came on the scene and began to carve up China again. When Chiang Kai-shek came to power, they nominally unified China, but privately, they were still divided by warlords. China was simply a mess, and the three northeastern provinces were lost overnight. This only contributed to the

The Japanese ambitions to covet China.

After saying that, Mr. Mei seemed to be very emotional and drank the wine in one gulp. Tang Qiuli also drank with him. After putting down the glass, Mr. Mei's eyes were bright and he continued: "Why isn't Jiang so focused on dealing with him?

*, the Japanese will never succeed in the Northeast, this is fate, it is Zhang Xueliang’s fate, and it is also the fate of us Chinese.”

"With the National Government's dozen or so broken warships, they are no match for the Japanese fleet. Now, even though Qiu Li has more than a hundred warships in your hands, which appear to be powerful, in fact, they are still unable to compete with the Japanese navy at all.

, Therefore, your fleet should focus on keeping a low profile and accumulating strength, and must not go into battle easily."

After Mr. Mei finished speaking, he drank himself in one gulp. After several glasses of wine, the old man was slightly tipsy and obviously in high spirits. The old lady said angrily: "You, Qiu Li finally came home for once.

As soon as we meet, you will tell me your truth. The food is already cold, and the whole table is just listening to you. Come to Qiuli, eat the food, and don't listen to your father's nagging." After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she put some food in Tang Qiuli's bowl.

Got a piece of meat.

Mei Ting and Mei Xue giggled. As women, especially women with husbands, they put more attention and eyes on the men they spend this life with. If it were the previous Mei Ting, maybe she would

She had a few arguments with her father and expressed her own opinions, but now, Mei Ting paid more attention to the child in her belly, which was her new expectation in life.

Mei Xue's heart is all about Tang Qiuli. She is not interested in these things. She can be admitted to the military academy just because Tang Qiuli can stay with him as a soldier for a long time. In Mei Xue's heart, finally

Her favorite university was related to literature, and her status as a soldier was just a variable in her life.

Meiling is different. After experiencing the Battle of Shanxi, he has been reborn and has completely integrated into the profession of a soldier. Being a brother-in-law, the dream of being a general is the colorful ideal and goal of Meiling's heart. In his heart, his father

My brother-in-law and I are from two completely different eras, and our perspectives and directions in thinking about problems are completely different.

His admiration for Tang Qiuli far exceeds that of his father, but it does not hinder his respect for his father. Just like now, he is equally fascinated by his father's words. He also discovered a phenomenon. Only when his brother-in-law comes, he

The old father opened up the conversation with something, and the conversation was quite intense, as if he had been saving up his words for several months, just waiting for his brother-in-law to come.

But Tang Qiuli was different. The accumulation of two lives gave him a more thorough understanding of world affairs. Tonight, his father-in-law gave him a feeling of shock. The old man could see everything in the world without leaving home.

, I gave myself the suggestion that the navy should not participate in any battles at the moment, which is exactly the strategy I am currently implementing.

Tang Qiuli thought it was very clever, but his father-in-law said it out. He even had a ridiculous idea, recruiting the old man to his account as a senior counselor, he must be very qualified, and then he laughed secretly at his own idea.

After the meal, Mei Ling returned to the military academy. The family was chatting casually in the living room. A member of the special guard came in: "Report to the division commander, Director Chen of the Communications Department is here. He said he has something important to see."

Tang Qiuli wondered why Chen Feng was here so late? "Please come in, Director Chen," he ordered the guard.
