Chapter VII The opportunity to join the military
Principal Zhang was sitting on the couch on the left side of the study, holding a copy of the "Central Daily" in his hand and reading it carefully.
The layout and furniture of the entire study are pure Chinese. A huge rosewood desk and mahogany chair occupy a conspicuous position in the study. A row of large bookcases at the back are filled with books. On the left is a Ming-style cypress book couch with thick brocade couch mats on it, and on the right is a row of pine wood antique shelves, which are arranged in a staggered manner on it, which is completely different from the decorative style of the restaurant.
Zhang Yunfeng sat on the Taishi chair behind the desk, holding a cup of coffee in his hand and savoring it carefully. This picture of a combination of Chinese and Western styles has long been used to the Zhang family.
Neither of them spoke.
a long time.
Principal Zhang threw away the newspaper in his hand and said, "Feng'er means that he wants to recommend Xiaolin to go?"
Zhang Yunfeng said: "Yes, my son has this intention. Since the National Government announced the relocation of the capital to Chongqing on November 19 last year and officially worked in Chongqing on December 1, it has only been two months since it has been held. A large number of institutions, personnel and materials across the country have gathered in Chongqing one after another. The bombing of Chongqing by Japanese aircraft has also started to increase from the initial tentative bombing to the recent significant strengthening, and the frequency of Japanese aircraft takeoffs and the number of bomb drops has begun to increase."
Principal Zhang nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Yunfeng continued: "Recently, the activities of the Japanese people lurking in Chongqing have become increasingly rampant, and the underground organizations of the Communist Party of China have also strengthened their activities in factories and schools. Moreover, with the unfavorable war, the occupied areas have continued to expand, and comrades at various sites have also been reduced. Now the bureau has seriously insufficient staff. Although a group of new people have been recruited, they all lack experience and can only do some things like internal affairs, which cannot meet Director Dai's work requirements."
Zhang Yunfeng took a sip of coffee and continued: "So according to Director Dai's intention, we will prepare to hold a special training class to provide professional technical training for appropriate talents, and replenish the backbone personnel to the bureau and local stations across the country in the future to improve the work level of the entire military system."
Principal Zhang nodded and asked, "When will your bureau headquarters be moved from Wuhan to Chongqing?"
Zhang Yunfeng replied: "Di Director Dai has been in Hankou. As for when to move to Chongqing, it depends on the situation. I am also ordered to come back and do some preparations first."
Principal Zhang nodded again and said, "Kobayashi, you can see that he is upright and a Chinese with blood. He is not only educated, but also skilled in his kung fu. If he is well trained, he is indeed a rare and craftable material!"
Zhang Yunfeng said: "My father is right. Now he doesn't know where his political position is."
Principal Zhang said lightly: "I have had a detailed conversation with him today. At his current age, he has just left the school gate and has experienced family changes. It is not easy to live in vain. How can he have a clear political stance? And political stance is like I teach students, which needs to be instilled."
Zhang Yunfeng agreed: "What my father said is, but his cousin went to northern Shaanxi. Will this leave some hidden dangers?"
Principal Zhang said: "It's okay. The two brothers have been separated for many years, and there is no news and no contact. Now Kobayashi is in a dilemma. If he recommends him to participate in the special training class, it will be a good thing for both public and private."
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "I think Xiaolin is smart and capable, and she is indeed a talent that can be made. Maybe she will achieve great things in the future, but she doesn't know if he wants it or not."
Principal Zhang said confidently: "When foreigners invaded and the war of resistance was in full swing, I think Kobayashi would not refuse to contribute to the country and be loyal to the country."
◇◇◇
Just had breakfast.
The breakfast was a bit beyond Lin Han's expectations. It was neither the milk coffee bread he expected, nor the rice porridge buns. I ate noodles. Jasmine was called spicy noodles, which were numb, spicy and fragrant. I also added a fried egg. Although he couldn't stand the spicy taste, he still felt it was delicious. However, after eating, he still asked Jasmine to pour him a cup of soy milk to drink, which made Jasmine smile a lot.
There were three people sitting in the study, and of course they were Principal Zhang, Zhang Yunfeng and Lin Han.
There were several newspapers that Jasmine had just been sent in on the desk, including "Central Daily", "Xinhua Daily" and "Xinshu Daily". Principal Zhang took a copy of "Central Daily" and flipped it a few times, then put it aside. Lin Han secretly looked at the date on the head of the publication, which clearly printed on it: January 28, 27th year of the Republic of China.
Lin Han secretly thought that it turned out that today was January 28, 1938 AD.
At this time, Principal Zhang said to Lin Han: "Xiaolin, your cousin's family has gone to Shaanxi. The journey to Shaanxi is long. The Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia provinces are even more crowded with horses and bandits, and they are in chaos, which is very unsafe. Moreover, the situation in the northwest region has always been very tense, and wars are often raging. It is not easy to find their family in the vast sea of people!"
When Lin Han heard Principal Zhang say this, he nodded slightly and said nothing.
Principal Zhang continued: "Now the national crisis is in the face of the crisis, and the War of Resistance Against Japan is a consensus among the whole nation. Last night, Brother Feng said that the government was recruiting new people, and after training, he went to various anti-Japanese fronts to serve the country. For you, this is a good place for the time being. Let Yunfeng tell you the details."
Zhang Yunfeng said to Lin Han seriously: "Brother Yu is now working in the second department of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Central Military Commission of the National Government. This bureau is referred to as the "Military Bureau" to the outside world. The director is also appointed by Chen Lifu, Secretary-General of the Central Party Department."
He paused, saw that Lin Han had no expression, and continued, "The Director of the Second Division is Dai Yunong, and Director Dai is the person the president relies on the most."
Lin Han is not unfamiliar with this history. He knew that Dai Yunong was Dai Li, the founder of the military intelligence agent system of the Republic of China, and an important figure who could affect the progress of the current situation. However, what he showed was an ignorant expression. He understood that it was more reasonable for a young man from a remote place to know little about these governments.
Zhang Yunfeng was very satisfied with Lin Han's expression and continued: "The Bureau of Statistics belongs to the Military Committee of the National Government, so he is also a soldier. This time, the public recruitment will be accepted through the examination and the qualified candidates will participate in the special training class organized by the department. Comrades who can successfully graduate will be awarded the rank of the National Army and the official position. According to the instructions of the Department's personnel department yesterday, in addition to recruiting exiled students from all over the country, comrades in the bureau can also recommend relatives and friends to take the examination. I intend to recommend you to give it a try. I don't know what Han brother has to consider."
Lin Han said without hesitation: "Brother Feng, I am currently alone and I am not meeting my relatives. In this chaotic era, every passionate man should think that the country is loyal and that blood is sprinkled on the battlefield as his responsibility. Now that I have this opportunity, I should be obliged to follow Brother Feng's arrangements."
After a pause, Lin Han said embarrassedly: "But all my personal documents have been lost, and I don't know where to start?"
Zhang Yunfeng said, "My brother Han doesn't need to worry about this. I will handle the procedures for you. You just need to prepare well and pass the exam."
Lin Han looked at Zhang Yunfeng gratefully and nodded.
Principal Zhang twisted his white beard and smiled with satisfaction, "Xiaolin, I'm not wrong with me, I'm not wrong with me."
Zhang Yunfeng also smiled and said, "Okay, the Spring Festival the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow. Have a few days of rest. I will explain some precautions to you slowly..."
