Chapter 4 Visit of the First Lady of the National Government
"What are you discussing? Didn't you all fall down?"
When Zhang Meng heard that Zhang Xinhai mentioned his fiancée again, he became impatient.
Originally, the Han family had already been at the peak of their lives with the first lady's Hakka status, and it was rumored that the Han family planned to terminate the marriage with the Zhang family and planned to betroth Han Qingxuan to the son of a senior official of the Nanjing Government. At the same time, the Han family also expressed their tactfully to Zhang Xinhai through others that Zhang Xinhai hoped that Zhang Xinhai would terminate the engagement between Zhang Meng and Han Qingxuan.
People walked to the high place and water flowed to the low place. Zhang Xinhai had no reason to stop the Han family from breaking the appointment. He had never let go but just couldn't let go.
Zhang Xinhai thought that he would be out of sight if he left Shanghai and hid in the distant Tang Empire. It had been three years since then, and the Tang Empire was in ruins. The Zhang family was busy building the Tang Empire. This matter was almost forgotten. As a result, a letter sent by the Han family evoked this unhappy past.
"There must be an explanation for this matter. Regardless of whether the Han family finally admits this marriage, our Zhang family cannot regret the marriage first. This is a matter of principle."
Zhang Xinhai has a stubborn personality. He does not allow the Han family to regret the marriage, but he does not allow the Zhang family to break the engagement first. His so-called principle is to be cautious and ignore Zhang Meng's feelings at all.
Zhang Meng looked at Zhang's mother Xue and her sister Zhang Wei next to him. The mother and daughter immediately looked at him with pitiful eyes. The meaning was very obvious - please don't fight against your father, hurt your father's heart.
Well, Zhang Meng admitted that he was defeated again, not by Zhang Xinhai's stubbornness, but by Zhang's mother Xue and her sister Zhang Wei's pitiful eyes with pleading.
"Now the Tang Dynasty is facing a life-and-death battle with the Japanese. When the war is over, we will have a good talk with the Han family and strive to resolve this matter without losing face."
Delay! Keep delaying!
Zhang Meng really couldn't think of a better way to make excuses about this.
At this time, Xue, who was next to him, hurriedly persuaded: "Meng'er is right. He is fighting now. When the war is over, it will not be too late to talk to the Han family if our family is saved."
Zhang Wei then stepped forward to persuade her. Zhang Xinhai was right when he heard what the mother and daughter said, so he nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Zhang Xinhai wrote a reply letter, saying that Yan Ming was not right now and was not suitable for marriage, so he gave it to the person sent by the Han family to take it back.
Zhang Meng originally thought that the matter would come to an end soon, but unexpectedly, the Republic of China government sent a consulate to the Tang Empire to the Tang Empire. Major Pan Jiangchang, who was the first consular military officer, submitted a letter to the Emperor Zhang Xinhai of the Tang Empire, and also handed over to Zhang Xinhai the handwritten letter from the first lady of the National Government, Soong Meiling, who said that Soong Meiling hoped to visit the Tang Empire in his private capacity, and hoped that the royal family of the Tang Empire could send a formal invitation letter.
Soong Mei-ling's diplomatic skills were very powerful, and Zhang Meng had to guess her intention to suddenly visit the Tang Empire.
However, Zhang Meng never expected that Zhang Xinhai seemed to be flattered and immediately sent a formal invitation letter to the Republic of China government in the name of the royal family of the Tang Empire.
Zhang Meng really wanted to tell Zhang Xinhai directly that you have some promising prospects, okay? You are already the emperor of the Tang Empire. Although the Tang Dynasty's primary school has just been established, its strength is stronger than that of the National Government. You should keep it at least ten days and half a month before replying, rather than replying to others on the same day.
But Zhang Meng didn't say it in the end, just smiled bitterly.
Soong Mei-ling came very quickly, far beyond Zhang Meng's estimate.
Zhang Meng only guessed it right. One of the purposes of Soong Mei-ling was to touch the foundation of the Tang Empire for Chiang Kai-shek. Zhang Xinhai was full of support for the National Government. He believed in Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People. Therefore, when he held talks with Soong Mei-ling, he had already forgotten his identity as the emperor of the Tang Empire. However, Soong Mei-ling was smart and witty. In a few words, Zhang Xinhai tempted Zhang Xinhai to reveal the political, economic and military strength of the Tang Empire to her.
Fortunately, Zhang Meng has always kept a backup plan, and Zhang Xinhai only knows the basics of many things. Therefore, Soong Mei-ling took away 70% of the Tang Empire's strength from Zhang Xinhai, and the real core secrets of the country are still in Zhang Meng's hands.
Although Soong Mei-ling did not have the core confidential information of the Tang Empire, the information that Zhang Xinhai revealed to her was enough to shock her. With her intelligence, she naturally understood that the real backbone of the Tang Empire was Zhang Meng, so she believed that Zhang Meng's hidden strength would be even stronger.
However, when Soong Mei-ling wanted to have a separate talk with Zhang Meng, she was rejected by Zhang Meng for being busy with military affairs.
If it were before, Zhang Meng would have been very happy to have a heart-to-heart talk with the first lady of the national government. But now that Mr. Zhang is not standing straight, Zhang Meng feels that he is too embarrassed by the Tang Empire, so he should be provoking the diplomatic back of the Tang Empire at this time as his son.
If you want to see me, let you see me!
The refusal of Zhang Meng, the general of Pan Jiang, told Soong Mei-ling that the first lady of the national government really made the first lady very embarrassed.
"Madam, this Zhang Meng is ungrateful, it's better if you don't see him!"
"It's a man of character!"
Soong Mei-ling just smiled slightly and then said seriously: "Consul Pan, you must be clear about the mission of sending you to the Tang Empire! Zhang Meng is the real master here. It is best not to do anything that makes the master unhappy. Do you understand?"
Pan Jiangchang was so scared that he was sweating coldly, and he hurriedly said, "My wife teaches you the lesson, remember the humble position!"
Soong Mei-ling nodded and sneered: "Does Zhang Meng think this wife is easy to deal with? Don't see me? Humph, let me see the consequences of offending a woman!"
Zhang Meng, who was inspecting the army's combat preparations, suddenly sneezes. But he saw that he just smirked, thinking that it must be Soong Mei-ling who learned that he was rejected and scolded the prince.
Zhang Meng didn't care. He knew that Soong Mei-ling must have a purpose in this trip, so he deliberately ignored her and wanted to take control of her.
"Report to the commander, the K Company of the First Armored Division is conducting assault combat subject training. Please give me advice, the company commander of the K Company, Wu Dasheng!"
"Continue to train!"
"yes!"
The K Company where Wu Dasheng is located is the most elite sharp knife assault company of the First Armored Division of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire. It has steadily won the honorary title of the First Army Company in previous assessments, which is naturally inseparable from their strict requirements and diligent training.
The army of the Tang Empire was the least of the three armies, so we must take the path of elite troops and exert the maximum combat effectiveness with the smallest force.
It is precisely because the Tang Empire lacked the strategic depth of land, the army had a scale of only more than 30,000 people, and was organized into three elite mechanized divisions, including one armored division and two mechanized divisions, becoming the first army in the world to achieve full mechanization of the army.
Zhang Meng was originally a special forces soldier, so his requirements for the Royal Army of the Tang Empire seemed even more stringent.
Originally, the army officers and soldiers dug up from the battle sequence of the national army, and had a certain military quality foundation, and many of them had even been on the battlefield to kill people. After the army training charter and comprehensive training of special combat skills formulated by Zhang Meng, the combat capabilities of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire had undergone qualitative changes at this time, and were not inferior to the German Army, which is known as the first army in the world. In many aspects of tactics and skills, the German Army did not have it at all. It is no exaggeration to claim to be the world's strongest army.
Because there are few army personnel, every army officer and soldier trains according to the requirements of special forces. Especially as the elite special forces among the special forces, the Blue Fox Special Service Team, they were once delegated to various army units as tactical training instructors, allowing all army officers and soldiers to have a deeper understanding of the true mystery of the training charter formulated by their commander Zhang Meng. After the intensive training of the Blue Fox Special Service Team, it is a key factor for them to become the world's strongest army in the future.
Of course, they are not yet recognized by the armies of all countries in the world because they have not yet truly represented the Tang Empire to win a beautiful war.
Only by winning the war can they be qualified to be recognized by the army of other countries. Only by winning the powerful army of other army countries can they be called the strongest army.
