    To Zhang Xian¡¯s surprise, Chief of Staff Guo suddenly told him that Commissioner Chiang wanted to summon him.

    Zhang Xian couldn¡¯t believe this was true. He just felt that he was flattered. How could such an unknown pawn like him get the attention of the commission?  After questioning Guo Wan for a long time, Guo Wan didn't know what was going on. He told Zhang Xian honestly that it was impossible for Chief Chen and Chief Sun to mention him as a combat adjutant in front of the commissioners. Zhang Xian was also extremely shrewd.  Of course people know the hypocrisy of these high officials.

    However, the committee member really wanted to see him. He followed Guo Wan anxiously to the committee member's temporarily collapsed villa. The committee member was talking to Chief Chen and Chief Sun inside, so he had to wait outside.

    After a while, an aide-de-camp came out, asked Zhang Xian¡¯s name, and took him into the back. It wasn¡¯t until he saw Mrs. Chiang that Zhang Xian knew that it was not the Chairman who wanted to see him, but the First Lady.

    It turned out that Zhang Xian was written into the newsletter by the two female reporters who were hitching a ride, and it was published in the "Central Daily News".  The two reporters praised Zhang Xian greatly and reported the cruelty of the Battle of Western Hubei in a very moving writing style. They especially wrote the most about one of the middle and lower-level national army officers who regarded death as home. This person was naturally Zhang Xian.  This report moved tens of millions of people, including Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek.  However, Zhang Xian was too busy and had been hiding in the chief's department writing his own reports, so he had no idea that he would become a hero in people's hearts.

    Mrs. Jiang nodded when she saw Zhang Xian. At this time, Zhang Xian's arm was still hanging with a bandage, and there was a newly formed scar on his face. This was exactly the same as what was described in the communication.  Seeing the first lady looking at him so carefully, Zhang Xian felt at a loss as he stood upright with a nervous look on his face.

    "Are you that adjutant Zhang Xian?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

    "Yes!" Zhang Xian replied, his voice like a bell.

    "It's okay, don't be nervous, I just want to get to know you, the hero."

    ¡°Madam, you¡¯re so grateful. I¡¯m not a hero, I¡¯m just a soldier.¡±

    "You gave all the money you had to the family of an unknown battalion commander who died. All your men have died, and you still have to pay him back. What did you think at the time?" Mrs. Jiang asked again,  The woman may have always been very interested in such details. She read the communication very carefully.

    Zhang Xian stared at the first lady in confusion, wondering how she knew these things. He didn't know where to start for a while, and after a long time he asked: "Madam, which thing are you referring to? I don't quite understand.  !¡±

    Mrs. Jiang's adjutant handed Zhang Xian a newspaper. Zhang Xian took it blankly and scanned it quickly. Only then did he understand what she asked. He said with some embarrassment: "I have already forgotten all these things in the past.  Forgot, I didn¡¯t know that reporter would write all this, but I¡¯m not as noble as they wrote.¡±

    "Oh?" Mrs. Jiang immediately became interested.

    Zhang Xian lowered his head and explained in a hushed voice: "Madam, in fact, all the money I gave to the battalion commander's widow was just for self-pity. I also have a wife. At that time, I was thinking, if it was me who died in the war, my  My wife is in trouble with her family and her family, is there someone who can help her?" As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Mrs. Jiang, tears flashed in his eyes, which were already a little red, and he continued: "As for paying back the money  In that matter, it is only natural that you have to pay back something you borrowed. It was my fault. Originally, I should have returned the money to him while he was still alive. It was my fault" He couldn't go on anymore.  Tears were already streaming down his face. He thought of Liu Xiaohu, and there was only sobs left in his throat!

    Mrs. Jiang and the attendant adjutant looked at him silently. At this moment, they suddenly remembered the old saying: A hero will not be afraid of tears, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness.  Mrs. Jiang unknowingly touched Zhang Xian's sadness.

    After a long time, Zhang Xiancai calmed down, and a smile broke out on his tearful face again, but this smile was a little far-fetched. He said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, madam, I I was a little rude!"

    "Oh, it's nothing!" Mrs. Jiang waved her hand to him and smiled. She felt that this adjutant was indeed cute, and immediately said: "You are very honest, much more honest than many young people I have seen.  "

    "You flatter me!"

    "Zhang Xian, are you a lieutenant colonel?" Mrs. Jiang asked knowingly.

    "yes!"

    "How old are you this year?"

    "Twenty-three." Zhang Xian told him that he was only twenty-two years old.

    Mrs. Jiang opened her eyes in surprise and asked with some disbelief: "You are so young?"Everyone stopped laughing. Sun Zhong looked at everyone blankly, wondering why Mrs. Jiang made an appointment with him.

    Zhang Xian hesitated for a moment, then said honestly: "Chief Commander, when I met my wife just now, I told her that I wanted to lead troops in the war and not be an adjutant. She may be telling you this."

    Sun Zhong looked at Zhang Xian blankly, his expression gradually turning ugly. He frowned, waved his hand, and followed the adjutant in.

    Chief Chen also shook his head and walked into his car without saying a word. The car started and drove off.

    Zhang Xian was like a child who had done something wrong, raising his head and looking at Chief of Staff Guo aggrievedly.

    "Children actually do some childish things!" Guo Wan couldn't help complaining to Zhang Xian.

    "I know you all treat me well, but I really don't want to be an adjutant or a staff officer in the commander's department, writing and drawing all day long. I really want to lead troops to fight!" Zhang Xian said sincerely to Guo Wandao  .

    "Even if you had this idea, why didn't you come and tell me, instead of telling Chief Sun and Chief Chen, why did you go to the First Lady and tell her?" Guo Wan asked him.

    Zhang Xian was startled. He had not thought of this at all just now. He went to Mrs. Jiang and said these words. Although he did not mean to blame Chief Sun and Chief Chen, he could not help others not thinking so.  It was only because of Mrs. Jiang's casual words that it resonated with him, so he didn't think much about it at the time.

    He looked at Guo Wan silently, and after a long time he murmured: "Actually, I what I have wanted to tell you for a long time is just because I am afraid that you will say that I am ignorant. I also know that my current position  , I don¡¯t know how many people want to break their heads. I just want to wait for a while and find an opportunity to tell you again. But today when my wife asked, I didn¡¯t think too much and told her my true thoughts.  .¡±

    Guo Wanchang sighed and said leisurely: "Did you know that both Chief Chen and Chief Sun actually value you very much? Chief Chen just thinks that you are too young and impulsive and need to temper your character. He is afraid that you are too impetuous.  , so we discussed with me that we are going to let you stay with us in the Chief's Department for half a year, and then send you to the Army University for training, and then return to the 18th Army to serve. I can see that Chief Chen is preparing to train you into a civil engineering major.  The youngest successor here. Alas! What a pity. I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

    Zhang Xian looked at Guo Wan and couldn't say a word. Only then did he realize that he had let down the good intentions of others.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
