Chapter 806 Appetizers!
For the sake of money, Tang Dao was very considerate. Not only did he personally stand at the intersection of the only road in the town to greet him, but he also deceived his future father-in-law.
Tantai Yunshu's fame has not reached the level of being famous all over the world, but among the "celebrities" who can't stand it, there are many elegant people, and they have heard of Tantai Yunshu's name to some extent.
The head of the Tang Dynasty personally greeted the surprise of many 'celebrities'. There was also a calligraphy and painting from Jiangnan next to Jiangnan.
The only regret may be that some of the ladies came with their fathers and uncles. After hearing Tang Dao introduce that this is his father-in-law, and looking at Dou Dou Jubi, who is handsome in military uniform, he can be regarded as the Prince Charming-type Commander Tang of this era. Then I feel really sorry.
And this was already expected by Tantai Yunshu, an old fox. He was not the one who dug holes for his daughter. Even if Tang Dao didn't invite him to come to the town with him, he would take the initiative to follow her.
It is okay to help your son-in-law get some money, but you will never do it by selling your son-in-law.
Tang Dao is so strict about rules, and of course the 'celebrities' are even more disciplined. After the person who comes has introduced himself and met Tang Dao, the servants following him will bring a tray wrapped in red cloth. The 'celebrities' are very He had the brains to know that it would cost money for the Four Elements Group to organize this grand military-civilian get-together and also treat the people of the town to dinner, and the gifts were all cash.
Of course, the person handling the matter was not Tang Dao, the chief officer. He was followed by a guard squad, the Captain and Director of the Munitions Department, with six soldiers. Each soldier had a large camphor box next to him. After the inventory was completed, They will write the amount of money on the gift list and then add the name of the gift giver.
Tang Dao could see the numbers on the gift list out of the corner of his eye. Those with a small amount would get 80, and those with a large amount would get 200. This also showed the financial gap among the 'celebrities'.
However, this was also expected by Tang Dao. He didn't dislike the few, and he didn't say a few nice words when there were more. Most of these guys came here because they wanted to meet him as a famous person, and then they became familiar with each other and pointed out. He wasn't sure when he would be able to use it in the future. Unless he asked for it, he wouldn't be willing to give out much money.
Tang Dao would not say anything about the few that had other purposes. His Fourth Army Regiment would not send out too many heavy equipment in this military parade. It was mainly to display a few heroic troops to inspire morale. Those with ulterior motives were destined to Will be disappointed.
Moreover, in order to ensure absolute safety, roadblocks have been set up at the sentry posts of the security company on the way to the town. Visitors must first have a reply signed by Tang Dao, secondly, have a household registration to prove their identity, and finally all People also have to be searched to make sure they don't have any weapons.
Because of the thought that there would be female dependents, several female nurses from the medical team were assigned to specially check the female dependents.
I believe everyone who comes here can understand these points. After all, there are soldiers from the Four Lines Regiment with live ammunition everywhere. Their life safety is absolutely guaranteed, but as a combat force, the Four Lines Regiment must ensure that no outsiders can attack them. threats to their superiors.
Unable to understand, the guard platoon leader leading the team could only ask him to turn back. This was a military order and no one could use it.
Including Colonel Gao Shen of a war zone headquarters who came with a security squad and rode a big horse. He heard about the safety regulations of the Four Lines Regiment when he went to the checkpoint. He readily handed over his own rifle and asked the security squad to wait there, and then he went alone. Riding a horse towards the town.
The colonels and senior staff members of the theater headquarters have already handed in their guns. What else can a bunch of 'celebrities' say?
That's because they didn't know that Tang Dao went to the theater headquarters two days ago and was actually interviewed by the general commander. This really made everyone in the headquarters look at Tang Dao, a slightly famous heroic commander, with admiration.
The colonel and senior staff officer received an order directly from his immediate superior, the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff, to represent the First War Zone to the Fourth Army Regiment to participate in the military-civilian get-together without having to explain it to his immediate superior. The colonel and senior staff officer also knew that, so don't say anything. The Si Xing Regiment was not under the jurisdiction of the First War Zone, and even if it was, he could not show a high profile to this ignorant Tang Regiment leader.
Furthermore, there are rumors in the army that the commander of the Tang regiment severely humiliated the commander of the 20th Army Corps in Xuzhou City.
Externally, he dares to disobey his superiors' military orders and fight the Japanese to death; internally, he can go beyond several levels to slap a major general in the army in the face, but the key is to have nothing to do with the ball. Such a person is a standard iron head. Get along with such a person and keep it. Good relationships are what matters.
Otherwise, how could the dignified Colonel Gao Shen of the theater headquarters really be so easy to talk to?
With this safety measure, those with ulterior motives can only take a look at it, but it will not actually have any effect.
Moreover, in addition to this protective measure, Niu Erxia Heavy Rain and seven or eight precision shooters were ambushing at the highest points of the town to conduct security alerts inside and outside the entire town. Except for the soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment, all ordinary people Anyone who finds a firearm does not need to report it. They are authorized to fire and kill.
The four chief officers of the Four Lines Regiment Headquarters each have their own division of labor. Tang Dao is responsible for being the mascot at the entrance of the town and fulfilling the wishes of the 'celebrities'; Lei Xiong is the commander-in-chief of the military parade and is responsible for the military parade; Gong Shaoxun is responsible for the entire security work; Zhuang is responsible for the entire security work. However, Shi San has the heaviest task and is responsible for the entire reception work and material allocation.
There are two infantry battalion commanders, Guo Shouzhi and Leng Feng. One is responsible for maintaining order outside the field, and the other is responsible for inside.
Zhuang Shisan was very thoughtful and had already classified the "gentry and celebrities" according to their occupations, such as those who worked in government departments, those who were in business, or those who opened factories and had a lot of land in their families, scholars, farmers, The merchants arranged them in a straw shed according to categories.
Each hut is accompanied by a second lieutenant or lieutenant. This is to avoid making the guests feel strange and neglected, and also to facilitate if they have any questions after the military parade begins, soldiers who have experienced those battles can answer them. answer.
As more and more people arrived, the grass shed area became extremely lively.
Many of these 'celebrities' from Zhengzhou know each other, and no matter how bad they are, they have heard each other's names. Naturally, they have to exchange greetings with each other after being introduced by familiar friends.
Of course, the purpose of coming here is tacitly understood. People who are celebrating the New Year instead of celebrating the New Year with their families come to this deserted field. If it is just one or two families sneaking here, it will naturally be a bit embarrassing, but when they find that everyone is here, then Naturally, there is no such psychological barrier.
On the contrary, I feel more and more like I have come to the right place. Not only do I feel familiar in front of Tang Dao, but I can also meet some business leaders who usually only hear their names but not their faces. Isn't this also a gain? !
Later, hundreds of people were walking back and forth outside the hut and saying this, not afraid of the cold at all. Tang Dao and the colonel Gao Shen who was standing beside him had the illusion at that moment that this was for those people. Well-dressed guys throwing a picnic?
Outside the empty venue, there were even more people. Not only the nearly 2,000 people in the town, but also those doing business, and people from the villages around the town, who also brought their families, took advantage of the party not starting yet. During the break, some were shopping, while others were looking for the most suitable position to watch the program and the military parade up close later.
That scene was comparable to a temple fair.
However, the people were concentrated on the east and west sides of the venue. Gong Shaoxun ordered the three infantry platoons responsible for security to surround the entire venue with guns and live ammunition at a distance of ten meters. Except for the celebrities who had paid "tickets" to be eligible to enter the venue first, 'We, the people were outside the venue.
The people also knew what was going on. Although they looked at the dignitaries who had already entered the venue first and showed envy in their eyes, they also knew that the gifts were so generous that they could watch the show for free. I heard that they could even eat a meal of flowing water , already very good.
Coupled with the two or three days that the four-member group came here, it was already very interesting to see that the money was spent like this and never owed any debt.
Of course, for these ordinary people, what can restrain them more is not how well the Four Lines Regiment does, but the more than a hundred soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition fighting as straight as a tree. The bayonet was inserted into the muzzle of the gun. In the morning, the mayor Huang Siren also used a tin trumpet to spread the word, asking every family to watch out for their children. Anyone who did not obey the rules and forced their way into the venue would have their whole family expelled. Not to mention if the adults don't abide by the rules. Without the help of the Four Elements Group, just the guards in the town carrying sticks can make people know what the rules are.
It has to be said that for ordinary people, the **** is more terrifying than the four rows of soldiers armed with live ammunition and bayonets. There are seven or eight thousand people, but no one takes a step beyond the limit.
At 11:30 noon, only a charge horn was heard, and the officers who were accompanying them in the hay hut walked out of the hay hut one after another and stood upright at the edge of the hay hut.
Many people were still wondering what was going on. "One, two, three, four" a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami attracted everyone's attention.
Looking up, a long dark blue dragon was slowly walking towards the training ground. The slogans of the mountains and the tsunami were issued by them.
The protagonists of this New Year's Eve celebration, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment have finally arrived. The crowd surged, and everyone wanted to take a closer look at this powerful army that was said to have fought in Sihang Warehouse and Songjiang.
"Brother Tang, I've heard that the Four Lines Regiment is a powerful army. The **** battle with the Four Lines prevented an infantry regiment of the Japanese army from advancing. The battle in Jiaxing was also the main force in the destruction of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade. Defending Guangde, an infantry regiment of the Japanese army was annihilated. , kill the Japanese captain, any achievement is the lifelong pursuit of our soldiers. Although we have not seen it today, you can feel his qualifications for a strong army just by listening to this slogan! No wonder Commander Cheng is so interested in Tang! Brother, I admire you for your ability to manage the army so much." Colonel Gao Shen complimented Tang Dao with a smile on his face.
"There, Brother Fan is full of praise. Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also the first year that our Four Elements Regiment formed an army. Therefore, the Tang Sword is bold and timid in front of all the fellow villagers. Please take a look at our regiment. The demeanor of the officers and soldiers also let the fellow villagers know that the Japanese pirates are rampant now, but our Four Lines Regiment will continue to fight. I wonder if Brother Fan can come and see the demeanor of my Four Lines Regiment brothers with me? "Tang Dao is humble! In the middle, there was a hint of high spirits and solemnity in greeting.
"That's natural. I will report the appearance of the Four Elements Regiment to Commander Cheng!" The colonel staff member nodded and followed Tang Dao onto the earthen platform originally used for performances.
However, this man was very sophisticated and knew that this was Tang Dao's stage. When the officers and soldiers of the Four-Hing Regiment passed by the platform, they saluted towards Tang Dao, the chief officer. But with him, the colonel and staff officer of the first theater, It doesn't matter much.
So, after getting on the platform, he seemed to be standing side by side with Tang Dao, but in fact he took a small step back to highlight Tang Dao's status as the regimental commander.
Tang Dao did not refuse. As the supreme commander of the Four Elements Regiment, he was the only person present who was qualified to review the Four Elements Regiment.
To put it simply, who else could it be than me?
As the first team of the Four Troops walked to the entrance of the training ground and stood still, the team that looked like a long blue dragon also began to stop and stand still.
From a distance, it looks like a long, slightly squirming dragon.
Those watching from a distance knew that the long dragon was composed of more than 1,000 soldiers, but they all followed the same rhythm, and no one disrupted this uniform rhythm.
Unexpectedly, even before entering the arena, with just a slight pause, the entire army seemed to be one.
Others can say it's fine. They just think that the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment have such a tacit understanding that more than a thousand people can give people such a shocking beauty just by standing still. But for the colonel's staff standing on the earth platform, it is not only tacit understanding and beauty, but also discipline, iron-clad discipline.
More than a thousand people can perform a simple movement of standing still so neatly and uniformly, which requires absolute obedience and discipline.
Despite such a small gesture, what was presented to this veteran who had been in the army for at least ten years was the core quality displayed by the more than a thousand soldiers in front of him.
Yes, for a veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years, he understands the importance of discipline to an army. Only an army with absolute obedience can resolutely implement the military orders made by the commander on the cruel battlefield. Even if they know that the military order is to let them die, they will go there with their heads held high.
At the same time, in addition to strict discipline, this uniform formation also reflects the willpower of the soldiers.
Only those who have led soldiers know how much time it takes to train an army to be so uniform. If you don't have willpower beyond ordinary people, you can't even think about trying to make more than a thousand people uniform as if they were one body.
At least, the first theater controls more than 200,000 troops. The colonel and staff often accompany several big bosses to inspect the troops. The army commanders and division commanders below also carefully arrange their elite troops to demonstrate the formation to the superiors to reflect the spirit of their troops. God, of course the performance of the elites was not bad, but no unit has ever reached such a level.
In other words, in his military career as an Army colonel, he has never seen a unit that can do this.
And if the army colonel knew that the Fourth Army Regiment was strictly required to maintain an orderly formation even during long-distance marches carrying heavy loads, and the participants in this military parade were mainly veterans, even the new recruits were selected from 500 recruits. The backbone of the team, one of the top ten, may not be so surprised.
Moreover, after Lei Xiong and others formulated the military parade plan, all the soldiers who were going to participate in the military parade also used the evening time to practice on the empty field for several hours. With such attention, coupled with the original foundation, this effect Sure enough.
Just this move gave the Si Xing Regiment a head start, shocking the onlookers, 'celebrities' and even the colonel's staff.
But obviously, everyone's shock will not end just because of this.
The queue is neat, this is just an appetizer before the parade of the four regiments.
PS: I was very busy today. I only wrote more than 4,000 words, which is considered a small chapter. The climax will be tomorrow!
