The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Although it was only their first meeting, Zhou Hexuan had a very good impression of Yang Jie.

Among other things, Yang Jie was the highest-ranking official attending the air defense exhibition today, but he arrived early, while other officials did not even show up at this time. This at least illustrates one problem, that is, Yang Jie does not put on official airs and should be a person who likes to do practical things.

Zhou Hexuan was placed in the first row below the rostrum. Yang Jie had nothing to do, so he simply sat down next to him and chatted with Meng Xiaodong.

"Mr. Zhou, I read the national defense plan written by you and Brother Baili. It is of great strategic significance." Yang Jie praised it.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "They were all written by Mr. Baili. I just checked and filled in the gaps."

"You are already very good. After all, you have never studied professional military theory," Yang Jie said sarcastically without concealment. "If you had attended a military academy, you would definitely be able to serve as a staff officer at the Central Headquarters. At least you would be much better than some people. Now the Central Committee The military is full of losers, Chen Cheng is a pig, He Yingqin is a fool, Gu Zhutong is dull and stupid, I don’t even bother to comment on Liu Zhi... Recently, Chairman Chiang re-employed a bastard named Hu Zongnan, who is worse than a street fighter. The gangster, with two elite divisions, was fooled around by the remnants of the Red Army."

Zhou Hexuan was speechless after hearing this. Yang Jie actually scolded all Chiang Kai-shek's confidants and generals. With such an offending character, it's no wonder he was ostracized.

What Zhou Hexuan didn't know was that Yang Jie even scolded Chiang Kai-shek in private and claimed that if he was asked to "suppress bandits", the Red Army would be wiped out in the first encirclement and suppression campaign.

This person is a bit... arrogant because of his talent.

By the way, the deputy leader of the "Lushan Officer Training Corps" for which Chiang Kai-shek had high hopes was Yang Jie, and Chiang Kai-shek personally served as the leader.

When giving a lecture at the "Lushan Officer Training Corps", Lao Jiang said: "(If) I, surnamed Chiang, do not resist the Japanese, the people of the whole country will punish him."

Yang Jie stood up on the spot and responded: "I traveled abroad and saw that all countries are busy. Germany is busy, the Soviet Union is busy, Italy is busy, and Japan is also busy. It seems that swallowing up my three eastern provinces is not enough. We also want to destroy China aggressively. But when I returned to Shanghai, I saw that there were idle people everywhere, and government officials were even more idle. They stayed up all night eating, drinking and having fun. I simply forgot about the shame of the fall of the three northeastern provinces. I hope the government will take effective measures to resist Japan. !”

Lao Jiang was so angry that he was speechless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was like being slapped in the face on the spot.

Zhou Hexuan laughed and said: "Director Yang is really a great talent. I heard that the Japanese created a ranking of Chinese military strategists. Are you ranked second?"

"Haha, the one whose ranking doesn't count." Yang Jie waved his hands repeatedly, but with a smile on his face, he was obviously extremely proud.

Among the rankings of Chinese military strategists given by the Japanese, Jiang Baili was first, Yang Jie was second, Bai Chongxi was third, and Liu Bocheng was fourth. Because Liu Bocheng was blind in one eye, he was jokingly called a "half-military strategist." Therefore, the Japanese said that China had "three and a half military strategists."

Seeing the look on Yang Jie's face, Zhou Hexuan had already thoroughly figured out this person's character. He was arrogant, outspoken, and not very knowledgeable... This kind of person has innate character flaws. If he follows a broad-minded leader, he will definitely be able to flourish. light. But when encountering the narrow-minded and suspicious old Chiang Kai-shek, the outcome is entirely predictable.

Jiang Baili is similar to Yang Jie, equally proud, equally aloof, and also has a glass heart. It is really a pity that these two are full of talents.

No wonder Marshal Liu Bocheng later commented: "Mr. Jiang Baili and Mr. Yang Jie were known as great military strategists in old China, but they did not achieve much in their lives because they took the wrong path. Therefore, the choice of political path is very critical."

Once you have figured out the personality of the other person, the subsequent communication will be very pleasant.

Zhou Hexuan flattered Yang Jie without leaving a trace, and specifically asked Yang Jie some topics that he was interested in, making the old man laugh out loud. After a while, he regarded Zhou Hexuan as his lifelong confidant.

As the two chatted, the main officials began to enter one after another.

The first person to ascend the rostrum was Gu Zhenglun, commander of the Central Military Police. He directly found a seat on the rostrum and sat down. Nanjing Mayor Ma Chaojun walked over and exchanged greetings with Gu Zhenglun while drinking tea with his own tea cup.

Buddha General Tang Shengzhi adjusted his glasses and strutted onto the podium. He suddenly left Yang Jie in the first row of the audience, ran down quickly, and laughed loudly: "Brother Geng Guang, long time no see, why did you come here and sit down?"

"Hello." Yang Jie didn't even bother to stand up. He only nodded slightly in response, and he was so arrogant.

In fact, Yang Jie is a very easy person to deal with, but he just can't stand idiots. And Tang Shengzhi is the big idiot among the idiots. The two of them have no common language at all.

Tang Shengzhi was stunned for a moment, looking a little embarrassed, then smiled and shook hands with Zhou Hexuan: "Hey, Mr. Zhou is here too. I have admired him for a long time. Although I, Old Tang, am a rough man, I like to deal with educated gentlemen the most, and I will have to deal with them in the future. Mr. Zhou, please give me some advice."

Zhou Hexuan was much more tactful and complimented: "No, General Tang, don't belittle yourself. Your attainments in Buddhism are unmatched by me. In particular, your use of Buddhist principles to explain the Three People's Principles is truly the first of its kind."

"Mr. Zhou also believes in Buddhism? Then we should find time to communicate," Tang Shengzhi said and looked at Meng Xiaodong again, praising, "This is the legendary 'Winter Emperor' Boss Meng, he is really beautiful and beautiful, like Zhou My brother is a talented man and a beautiful woman!"

Meng Xiaodong smiled and said: "General Tang was so complimentary."

After rambling a few words, Tang Shengzhi suddenly straightened his face and cursed: "Who arranged this seat? A university scholar like Mr. Zhou should sit on the rostrum. How can I let you sit down? Come on, Then... rearrange it for me and add an extra table to the rostrum!"

This General Buddha was such a wonderful man. Zhou Hexuan couldn't laugh or cry, so he quickly said: "No need, I'm just an audience."

"That's really wronging Mr. Zhou. When the exhibition is over, I'll treat Mr. Zhou to a drink to apologize!" Tang Shengzhi comforted him again and again, as if he had really neglected Zhou Hexuan.

Yang Jie suddenly said with an expressionless expression: "You villain's face!"

Tang Shengzhi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he smiled angrily: "Haha, you two talk first, you two talk first, I'll take my leave!"

After Tang Shengzhi left, Zhou Hexuan sighed and said, "Brother Yang, you have offended someone again."

Yang Jie said disdainfully: "What if he offends a fool? Pigs are smarter than him!"

Zhou Hexuan could only smile bitterly in return. Yang Jie's mouth was so poisonous. No wonder it offended Chang Kaishen, Song Meiling, Kong Xiangxi, Chen Guofu, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others. During the fourth "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Army, this guy even publicly cursed Chen Cheng as a pig.

No wonder Chiang Kai-shek asked Yang Jie to read "The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzhenggong" carefully.
