Base System of Bashu Heroes

The Sichuan Army was fighting everywhere and really needed a rest. Seeing that several division commanders had different opinions, Liu Tianchu also hesitated. Qingdao was in the hands of the Japanese army, and he felt like he was having trouble. When he was hesitating, Ronghua hurriedly came to report with a telegram: "Sir, there is an urgent telegram from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

"

Liu Tianchu was stunned. When the battle of Jiashiling was in full swing, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Commission did not care. Why did the call come at this time? He received the telegram and read it carefully. The main message of the telegram was: "In view of the huge victory achieved by the 23rd Army in northern Anhui,

The Chairman of the Generalissimo went to Xuzhou in person three days later to commend the generals of the 23rd Army."

Rewarding the generals of various ministries? Liu Tianchu showed contempt on his face. The so-called commendation was just an excuse. The purpose should be for the arms of the Sichuan Army. Chen Cheng had specially talked with him during the Wuhan Battle. Because Chen Cheng could not make the decision on related matters, he expressed that he wanted to ask for permission, so

It has been said that the chairman of the committee came to Xuzhou in person, which should be related to this matter.

Seeing that all the division commanders were looking at him, Liu Tianchu circulated the telegram to everyone. It was inevitable that the Chairman would come to Xuzhou in person to greet him. The plan to attack Qingdao had to be temporarily put aside. Liu Tianchu scanned the expressions of everyone. Except for Feng Huaizhu and Li Dayong, who were complacent, the others

People were not impressed by the Chairman's arrival.

Feng Huaizhu and Li Dayong graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and were disciples of the Emperor. Li Dayong also served as a commissioned bodyguard. Feng Huaizhu himself and his 137th Division, as well as most of the middle and lower-level officers, came to Nanjing after the Battle of Songhu.

Although the defeated troops of the 88th Division, 86th Division and the Teaching Corps joined the Sichuan Army, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are direct descendants of the commission.

Liu Tianchu looked at Li Dayong and Feng Huaizhu coldly: "What do you two think about the arrival of the committee? What do you think?"

Seeing that Liu Tianchu's expression was unnatural, the two knew that Liu Tianchu had selfish motives, so they joked: "We have fought together with the army in the north and south, and we have lived and died together. Are you afraid that we will betray the Sichuan Army and cannot be of the same mind as you?"

Liu Tianchu grinned in embarrassment. He really shouldn't think so. They are all brothers who live and die together. According to Li Dayong, it is a life-long friendship. How could he have such dirty thoughts? It seems that people are indeed selfish.

He admitted when he was wrong. He did not hide his fault and apologized frankly: "I'm sorry! I thought too much, but I have to guard against it. The fortress is broken from the inside. The methods of commissioning and dividing local troops are omnipresent. The Northeast Army

This is an example. I hope that the 23rd Army will be monolithic no matter when and where it is, and will not let me down."

Everyone expressed that they would never be moved by fame and fortune, and that they would work together with one heart and one mind. Seeing that everyone was determined, Liu Tianchu was relieved. The time to attack the Japanese mainland was not yet ripe. If the 23rd Army was first divided within the government, he would have to work hard to manage the Sichuan Army.

Your efforts will be in vain.

Although the plan to attack Qingdao was temporarily shelved, he still had to prepare for the advance later in the year. Liu Tianchu immediately ordered five divisions of the 22nd Army to go around Qingdao. It seemed to surround Qingdao, but in fact, the real intention was Weihai and Yantai.

Three days later, the Chairman's plane landed slowly at Xuzhou Airport, and Liu Tianchu led his team to greet him early. The Chairman got off the plane, followed by a group of officials from various ministries, including Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Yu Jishi, Tang Enbo, Li Zongren, Zhang Zizhong, Xue Yue and others.

, what Liu Tianchu didn’t expect was that his uncle Liu Xiang was also among them.

After welcoming the Chairman, the Chairman and his entourage stayed at the Garden Hotel in Xuzhou. The Garden Hotel was built in Xuzhou in 1916 by Wu Jihong, a British and American tobacco merchant from Suzhou, who invested 20,000 silver dollars and invited architectural technicians from Shanghai to imitate the most popular German style at the time. The most luxurious hotel in the local area. The hotel hall is equipped with mahogany furniture, the rooms are equipped with fireplaces for heating, and have Western-style bathrooms. It also employs famous chefs from the north and south to cook Chinese and Western meals. Elegant and luxurious Western-style facilities, a variety of Chinese and Western delicacies, and The Garden Hotel became famous in the province and became the first choice place for domestic warlords, dignitaries, gentry and celebrities to stay and entertain guests in Xuhou.

The most unique thing is the Western-style buildings (including a theater building) spread throughout the hotel. There is also power generation equipment in the courtyard. There are electric lights and fans indoors, and they are managed by dedicated electricians. The garden is full of precious flowers and trees, and was specially hired by bei jing. The gardener is responsible for the cultivation. The Chinese and Western chefs, porcelain cooking utensils and banquet service personnel required for the banquet are all invited from Jinan Taifeng Tower, Baihua Village and other large hotels, and all kinds of delicacies are available. The chairman and his party are very satisfied with Liu Tianchu's reception. .

The chairman is very satisfied, but Qian Chuanzi Shen Han, who has serious thoughts in Min Zhu, is very dissatisfied. This kind of pomp that wastes people and money is incompatible with his thoughts. When the chairman meets with Qilu military and political officials at the Garden Hotel, Qian Chuanzi is the first to attack, and he is Liu Tianchu pressed it forcefully.

On the way back to the headquarters, Qian Chuanzi was sulking all the way. "The government is corrupted by corruption. From top to bottom, everyone follows suit. Such extravagance puts the party and the country in danger!"

"Here we go again. We are worried about the country and the people. National affairs are beyond your control. We should manage the Sulu War Zone well! Do our duty." Liu Tianchu advised with emotion.

Qian Chuanzi sighed and shook his head, and suddenly said indignantly: "With such a government, three-fifths of the country has been lost, internal and external troubles, but we can still enjoy ourselves in peace. Heroes choose trees to live in. Military seats, why do you have to compromise and be willing to be inferior to others? Think about it. Learn from Song Jiang?”

The story of Water Margin is familiar to Chinese people. As soon as Qian Chuanzi said this, everyone was shocked at the same time. Liu Tianchu was also shocked and turned around to look around him. Fortunately, there were no outsiders. Ronghua still walked with an expressionless face. Even Tianbang didn't know what Qian Chuanzi said. What, only Li Dayong and Heizi had complicated expressions. Liu Tianchu cursed in a half-joking tone: "Damn it, shut up. You're crazy again. If you say too much, others will take it seriously. You're talking uncontrollably. Be careful." Get into trouble!"

"So what if it's true? We have the ability to restore peace and prosperity to the world..."

Qian Chuanzi wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Liu Tianchu, who shouted angrily: "Qian Chuanzi, if you say another word, I will cut out your tongue."

Liu Tianchu did what he said, Qian Chuanzi shrank his neck in fright, and quickly stepped aside without saying a word. Li Dayong said with regret: "Brother Qian's words are true, but we can't do this. The KMT and the Communist Party are fighting against each other. We are called "bandits", and if we do this, at the cusp of the current war of resistance, we will be drowned in the saliva of the Chinese people, and the Chinese people will think that we are self-reliant warlords and end up treasonous."

Liu Tianchu nodded frequently. He had never had such an idea, because it didn't make sense. Liu Tianchu, who knew the direction of history, certainly could not imitate a certain party. He had not made any achievements in resisting the Japanese, and the civil war was full of blood. He looked at Li Dayong again, his thinking and his His figure was not in proportion to his body. Sometimes Liu Tianchu even thought that if Li Dayong did not join the army but joined politics, he would definitely be a famous figure in politics.

Everyone was chatting all the way and just arrived at the gate of the military camp. Before entering the military camp, the Chairman's bodyguard hurriedly came to stop everyone: "We would like to invite Mr. Liu to the Garden Hotel!"

Liu Tianchu was a little confused. If he didn't mention it at the restaurant, what kind of medicine would be sold in the summoning gourd at this time?

Walking through the maze-like jungle paths, Liu Tianchu saw the Chairman sitting in a pool of steaming water from a distance. He was alone, not without guards around him. But he was far away from him - not only in terms of distance, but also psychologically.

Go up - His aura that repels others is getting stronger and stronger.

He lowered his head and looked at a leaf floating in the steam. A large tray was floating beside him with a wine bottle and a wine bottle on it, but he had no intention of moving it. His thin face was like a knife carving.

, engraved with loneliness, autism and more, and the bare arms were also scarred.

Liu Tianchu has not seen the commissioner for a long time. He has not seen him since he retreated from Nanjing. I heard that he is in very poor health. People with poor health should not soak in the water in such a cold weather, but this is

What's wrong with him? Liu Tianchu gloated and cursed secretly, just let him soak to death.

At this time, a woman's laughter came from the bathroom, mixed with a man's laughter.

The Chairman frowned, stretched out a finger from the water and moved it. He didn't know how his guards saw it, but they just saw it - they were probably staring at the Chairman every second.

move?

Chairman: "Who?"

The guard said: "They are the entourage..."

The Chairman did not need to wait for the guard to finish: "Tie him out and engage in military law."

Without any hesitation, the guard immediately went over. After a while, he heard the man's cry of pain and the woman's scream. Then it immediately became quiet. I believe that the guard must have kidnapped the person without any trouble.

Seeing Liu Tianchu come in, the chairman said to the guards: "He stays, you all go."

So everyone left, and Liu Tianchu stood there like a fool, holding a towel. The chairman looked at the water, without saying a word, and pushed aside the leaf that he had been looking at for a long time.

"In the past, Tian Guang praised Jing Ke and said: A brave man with blood will have a red face when angry; a brave man with a pulse will have a green face with anger; a brave man with bones will have a pale face with anger. Jing Ke must be a brave man, and his face will not change when he is angry.

In my opinion, Tianchu led his troops to take the lead in attacking the powerful enemy and killed the Thirteenth Division with his own hands. He was indeed a brave man. The officers and soldiers of the three armies of the national government greatly admired him. What do Tianchu think?" the chairman suddenly asked.
