"Haha, you're welcome, Brother Yiwu, I, Cheng, came here uninvited. Excuse me, excuse me!" Before everyone got up, loud laughter came from outside the door. With his hands behind his back, Cheng Dequan walked in with square steps and a smile.

"There, brother Chunru is able to come to my Eighth Division for inspection. It is an honor for all of my teachers. Brother Chunru's visit is beyond expectation. Please, brother Chunru, please take a seat!" Zhao Hengti greeted him with a smile on his face. Going up, he took Cheng Dequan's hand very affectionately, and wanted to invite him to sit at the head seat, but Cheng Dequan thought that this was the Eighth Division's division headquarters, and it would be appropriate for him to be a guest, with Zhao Hengti, the head teacher, at the head seat. Ji, pretending to give way to each other, and finally, under Zhao Hengti's insistence, Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, was given the main position.

"Hey, brother Yiwu, are you guys having a meeting? Is it appropriate for Cheng to be here?" After sitting down, Cheng Dequan looked around and saw that the main officers of the Eighth Division were basically there, and asked with a smile.

"What's inappropriate? Everyone is discussing the reorganization of the National Defense Forces. By the way, Brother Chunru, since you're here, why don't you listen?" Zhao Hengti offered to invite. Cheng Dequan was not polite, but showed great interest. Look, nodded with a smile.

Asking the adjutant to take a plan and give it to Cheng Dequan, Zhao Hengti talked and explained, when it came to the abolition of the temporary formation of the 33rd regiment, Zhao Hengti sighed for a long time, it seemed that he didn't intend to do this, but was really helpless .

"Well, brother Yiwu's plan is pretty good. All aspects have been considered, and this old man thinks it's feasible."

"Cheng Dudu thinks it's feasible? But Captain Li has a lot of opinions on this plan!" Tao Deyao interrupted.

"Oh, what's your opinion? By the way, it means canceling the temporary formation of the 33rd Regiment?" Cheng Dequan, who had been smiling all the time, asked, glanced at Li Shimao, and said with a smile: "Leader Li, your temporary formation of the 33rd Regiment is only a temporary one after all." Editor, you need to understand your Master Zhao's painstaking efforts! But don't worry, the old man is here to assure you in the name of the governor of Jiangsu. Difficulties will be dealt with properly as much as possible, as for Captain Li, he is a rare general, I think Master Zhao will never treat Captain Li badly."

"Brother Chunru is right, that's exactly what I meant!" Zhao Hengti shook his head and sighed, "In the bloody battle in Nanjing that day, the officers and soldiers of the temporary 33rd Regiment went on and on, causing heavy casualties. Thinking of the brothers who died, as the commander I can't help being sad! Now that the central government has decided to reorganize the National Defense Forces, and my Eighth Division is the first to bear the brunt, it will inevitably make adjustments to the various ministries. Although the temporary formation of the 33rd Regiment is a meritorious minister, it is only a temporary establishment after all. The official reorganization order is to ban the 33rd regiment. What about these brothers who have shed blood and sacrificed for the country and the people? Is it impossible to let them go? After thinking about it, I have no choice but to take a step forward and find a way out for the brothers , as a teacher, I, Zhao, can only do this. I am really incompetent as a teacher! I'm sorry, brothers!" As he spoke, Zhao Hengti's eyes turned red, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped it back and forth. , seems to be very sad.

The boss acted like this, of course the younger brother would not let go of the opportunity to flatter. Tao Deyao and Liu Jianfan immediately started talking one by one, and praised Zhao Hengti as a good teacher who loves soldiers like a son. For the sake of the entire Eighth Division, as a member of the Eighth Division, it would be ungrateful not to support Mr. Zhao.

"Brother Yiwu, it's not easy, it's not easy for you!" Patting Zhao Hengti on the shoulder, Cheng Dequan also sighed, turned around and said to everyone present: "Everyone, you should be considerate of Brother Yiwu's painstaking efforts. We need to reorganize the National Defense Forces and separate the government from the military. As the governor of Jiangsu, the old man supports and supports this decision! Since the country has decided to separate the government from the military, it is better for the old man, the governor, not to lead troops, so that he can do something practical for the people of the world with peace of mind in the future. This is the old man's lifelong wish. To tell you the truth, I entrusted the Shanghai Army Corps to the Eighth Division, and I also have the same thoughts as Brother Yiwu. The brothers in the Shanghai Army Corps have followed the old man for many years, and they will not be able to lose their support when the time comes? Li Commander, what do you think?"

Li Shimao blushed and didn't know what to say for a moment. One was the division commander of the Eighth Division, and the other was the highest military and political officer in Jiangsu. The two of them spoke at the same time. What can he, a little commander, do?

Not only Li Shimao, but even Huang Kaiyuan had nothing to say. If Zhao Hengti was alone, he might have some ideas, but he didn't expect that Cheng Dequan would suddenly come to support Zhao Hengti. The two of them sang this show together It was really good, Huang Kaiyuan couldn't see that this was arranged long ago.

Opening his mouth, he finally did not express his objection. Huang Kaiyuan was a little overshadowed, feeling that he was really sorry for Fang Zida's entrustment.With Zhao Hengti's actions like this, he will be the only one in the Eighth Division in the future, and with Cheng Dequan's support behind him, who else can compete with him in the Eighth Division?

"Since everyone has no doubts, I think this matter is settled today." Satisfied Zhao Hengti saw that no one objected anymore, and even Li Shimao, who danced the most fiercely, was suppressed by Cheng Dequan and lost his temper.Immediately, he was ready to strike while the iron was hot to finalize this matter.

Of course, with Cheng Dequan present, Zhao Hengti still had to make the necessary gestures. After speaking, he deliberately asked Cheng Dequan how he felt. Of course Cheng Dequan had no objection, and nodded with a smile: "This is up to Mr. Zhao to decide, the Eighth Division After all, it is Commander Zhao's troops."

"Master Zhao's unit? When did the Eighth Division become a personal unit? Why didn't I know?" Cheng Dequan had just finished speaking when a cold voice sounded from outside the door. Looking at the door.

"Fang...Deputy Master Fang!" Li Shimao jumped up excitedly and blurted out, and Huang Kaiyuan, who was still very depressed just now, suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise.It was none other than Fang Zida who strode in.

With a calm expression, Fang Zida in a suit walked slowly, followed by Gendarmerie Captain Zhang Huchen.Although Fang Zida was not the deputy commander of the Eighth Division for a long time, after all, the Eighth Division had a deep memory of him, especially the senior, middle and lower rank officers present, who hadn't experienced Fang Zida's iron-blooded skills?Seeing Fang Zida appearing suddenly, everyone was pleasantly surprised. No one knew when he arrived in Nanjing.

"Is this Dudu Cheng?" Fang Zida walked up to Cheng Dequan and asked with a smile as he nodded slightly to the officers who hurriedly stood up.

"President Fang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard Mr. Zhang Ming's name for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't seen him." Cheng Dequan stood up very politely and cupped his hands, with a sincere smile on his face.But he deliberately called Fang Zida General Manager Fang instead of Deputy Teacher Fang. His intention was to remind everyone that this Fang Zida is not from the Eighth Division at all, but the general manager of the Central Bank.

"Hehe, we should have met a long time ago, but Dudu Cheng was seriously ill last year and went to Shanghai to recuperate. Otherwise, everyone should have known each other long ago. Why, Dudu Cheng has recovered from his illness? How is your body? Tsk tsk, you don't look very good! In fact, according to what I see, Dudu Cheng is busy with state affairs. If you are not in good health, you should take more rest. By the way, I heard that the medical conditions in Europe are very good, and the weather is also good. If it’s not possible, you can go to Europe and take good care of your body, why go back to Nanjing in such a hurry?” Fang Zida said with a smile, his words seemed to be very polite, but it had a completely different meaning in Cheng Dequan’s ears No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't help but turn from white to red, and then from red to green. You must know that at the beginning of the second revolution, as the governor of Jiangsu, he left the army and went to the Shanghai Concession alone, claiming to "recover from illness" and hiding He didn't see anyone, and only after the general situation of countering the rebellion was settled, he hurriedly sent a telegram to the whole country, declaring that he supported the central government and opposed the rebellion. Fang Zida said these words now, slapping him in the face and exposing his scars.

In Fang Zida's words, he also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the medical conditions in Europe, which made Cheng Dequan very annoyed. Isn't this ironic that he escaped well and failed to suppress the rebellion, so he should go abroad?

"By the way, Dudu Cheng, why are you here? Could it be that your Dudu's mansion has moved to the Eighth Division?" Fang Zida didn't even look at Cheng Dequan, and turned to Huang Kaiyuan and asked: "Deputy Master Huang, is that so? This Why doesn’t the Central Committee know about the situation?”

Huang Kaiyuan shook his head and said, "Of course not, we were in a meeting just now, and Dudu Cheng came here by himself."

"Oh... so you came here by yourself?" Fang Zida's face turned cold, and he cursed at Huang Kaiyuan: "Deputy Commander Huang! You are so brave! Don't you know that the Eighth Division's headquarters is a military center, and the military I don't understand the reason why idlers are forbidden to enter the meeting? The state owns the state law, and the army has military regulations. It is understandable that Cheng Dudu is not a soldier who does not understand the rules of the army. You are all professional soldiers. Don't you understand this truth? Also! This The main seat can be taken by outsiders casually? Could it be that the commander of the Eighth Division has changed?"

"You...you...Fang Zida! If I'm idle, what are you? Don't forget, I'm still the governor of Jiangsu!" Cheng Dequan was so angry that he pointed at Fang Zida and shouted angrily.
