"Father, a small lieutenant school like Xue Yue was scolded. Why do you have to make any bets with him? Isn't this..." Back at the temporary residence, Lu Jianzhang retreated his accompanying staff, leaving only Lu Chengwu, the son who followed him to Yumen.

After all the outsiders left, Lu Chengwu made a cup of tea and served it over, then asked in a low voice in confusion, with a very disapproving expression in his expression.

Before Lu Chengwu could finish his words, Lu Jianzhang put the teacup in his hand on the table and asked with a look of hesitation: "Is this? Isn't this nothing? Do you think I, a dignified general of the National Defense Forces, commander of the Northwest Military Region, will have a chance to get a chance if I make a bet with a young lieutenant colonel, right?"

Lu Chengwu nodded awkwardly. Looking at his appearance, Lu Jianzhang's face suddenly turned dark.

"You, what's the point of telling me?" He raised his hand and pointed at this son with a heart-wrenching grudge. Among his children, Lu Jianzhang's children was a little promising. He sent him to study at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in his early years and was a classmate of Xu Shuzheng. After returning to China, Lu Jianzhang specially put him in the army to train him, and he was very stance to train him to become his successor. But compared with the famous Xu Shuzheng, Lu Chengwu was far from his ability and talent. If it weren't for Lu Jianzhang's support, he would probably have been a middle-level officer in his generation.

When Yuan Shikai asked Lu Jianzhang to lead troops to encircle and suppress the Bailang rebellion, he took this opportunity to barely arrange Lu Chengwu as the brigade commander of the Shaanxi No. 1 Mixed Brigade. However, in the subsequent battles, Lu Chengwu did not make any contributions. During the reorganization of the National Defense Forces, Lu Jianzhang was shameless and took part of Feng Yuxiang's contributions to Lu Chengwu, which led to the promotion of Lu Chengwu's military officer and awarded the lieutenant general as the commander of the reorganization division.

He was said to be the commander of the first division, but in fact, the ones who really made the decision in the army were his deputy commander and chief of staff. These two were both confidants specially arranged by Lu Jianzhang to take care of his son. This time during the inspection of Yumen, Lu Jianzhang brought Lu Chengwu by his side and wanted him to learn some of the skills of truly leading troops.

But who would have thought that after the outsider left, this kid made a big statement about the bet between him and Xue Yue, and he didn't understand his profound meaning in this matter at all. He was simply a fool. How could he not make Lu Jianzhang angry?

"Father...Baby...Baby just thinks..." Lu Chengwu is not young anymore, he is almost 40 years old, and he is also a lieutenant general, but in front of Lu Jianzhang, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. The old man was so scared that he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak well.

"Do you really think I'm old and confused? I'm full and full? I'm fine, right?" He glared at the incompetent son fiercely, and Lu Jianzhang shook his head and cursed: "You, you're almost a dog at this age. You and Xu Youzheng were classmates back then, but after returning to China, Xu Youzheng was a high-ranking position. In a few years, he sat at the position of the deputy chief. If it weren't for his mistakes in pursuing greed and taking the wrong steps, he would have failed and died, otherwise he would have been on par with me now with his ability. But what about you? You have not made any progress in the years. When I retreat, will our Lu family rely on you as a candid in the future?"

Lu Chengwu stood aside with a sweat and didn't dare to say anything, especially when he heard Lu Jianzhang scolding him for putting his age alive dog on his body, his head drooped even lower. At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself a few big mouths. What should he ask for? In the end, he was scolded without slapping his face, and he was unjustly killed.

Picking up the teacup and drinking a sip of tea. Lu Jianzhang shook his head and sighed, slowing his tone to point out to the son, and then said, "Do you really think I'm saying anything like the useless tank on the training ground? Is it true and false to look down on Wu Ziyu? You, childish! In this officialdom, speaking to everyone is true and false, and what you hear in your ears is not necessarily true. Wu Ziyu can climb to the position of Chief of Staff step by step from a small regiment commander back then. Could he be an incompetent person? If this is the case, would Fang Zhengming be blind? He just valued him like this? As for tanks, even idiots can see that this weapon is the nemesis of infantry. I have fought for most of my life. I don't say anything else."

"But why are you, Father..." Lu Chengwu, who was confused, opened his mouth in surprise and finally asked the words he kept in his heart.

"Saying is one way, and doing is another way. How to say and how to do it, the knowledge here is profound. Shaowen, you must remember to tell the truth about three parts when meeting people and think about everything more."

"Yes, yes... But father, why did you make a bet with that boy Xue Yue later?" Seeing that Lu Jianzhang's expression calmed down, Lu Chengwu couldn't help asking again.

Lu Jianzhang smiled and said calmly: "What's wrong with betting? I won't lose this bet, no matter what you win or lose."

When Lu Chengwu heard this, he felt even more confused and could not turn his mind around. Looking at his confused look, Lu Jianzhang could only sigh helplessly. This son is really not a great man.

As he greeted him to sit down, Lu Jianzhang then explained his intentions in detail. As the commander of the Northwest Military Region, although the area under Lu Jianzhang's jurisdiction is large, it has no other benefits than other military regions. Lu Jianzhang has always been thinking about changing to a wealthy place, but to do this, he must take out something in his hand.

This thing is not a lot of money. Now the Prime Minister is Fang Zida. Lu Jianzhang had a lot of dealings with Fang Zida as early as the early days of the Republic of China. Moreover, Fang Zida was Yuan Shikai's son-in-law. Lu Jianzhang, as Yuan Shikai's loyal dog, said that he was his own person. But Fang Zida is not short of money, but not power. Compared with Fang Zida, he did not have much money. Moreover, in order to appease Feng Yuxiang, especially because of Lu Chengwu, Lu Jianzhang had a shameless attitude to ask Feng Yuxiang for an errand. Now he is in a high position. If he runs to ask for an official position, not to mention that Fang Zida may not agree, even his old face is ashamed of this.

After the Sino-Soviet declared war, Lu Jianzhang, who was sophisticated, soon saw an opportunity. Compared with several military regions in the south, his northwest military region was vast Russian territory to the north. If not unexpectedly, when the war began, the troops under the Northwest Military Region were the vanguard. Moreover, Lu Jianzhang had cooperated with Denikin's tribe to carry out guerrilla warfare in southern Russia before, and knew the terrain of the north. It was inevitable that his veterans would take action in this battle.

In this way, if the Sino-Soviet battle is fought well, then Lu Jianzhang will be justified in establishing a meritorious service and changing his garrison will be legitimate. It is even possible to transfer back to the capital and go straight to the center. After all, Lu Jianzhang's qualifications are very close to Fang Zida. Even if he cannot serve as the Minister of National Defense, there is no problem to be an Army Minister.

Then how to fight this battle has always been a question that Lu Jianzhang considered. As expected, he soon received an order from the General Staff and flew to the capital to attend the military meeting. After returning to the northwest, Lu Jianzhang began to speed up the training of the troops in the name of military training, and also formed new combat units in new training methods to practice, in order to show his strength after the war began.

Who would have thought that Lu Jianzhang's abacus was good, but the intensity and progress of the execution below disappointed him. These days, he personally visited several regions and was very dissatisfied with the exercise of new tactics. However, Lu Jianzhang also knew the mentality of the generals under his command, just like what he said on the side of the training ground. Many people think that fighting is fighting is fighting, and the coordination between these iron lumps and soldiers is simply a waste of time. When the cannon fires and the soldiers charge, don't everyone fight like this for so many years? Why bother so much?

The scolding in person, or even slamming the table to gather everyone together and scold everyone, may have a little attention. But Lu Jianzhang also knew that if someone agreed on the surface and disobeyed the emperor behind his back, he would definitely ruin his major affairs. In order to solve this problem, Lu Jianzhang deliberately used the tactic of trying to get. Even if Xue Yue didn't jump out today, there would naturally be someone he specially arranged to refute.

Xue Yue's appearance made Lu Jianzhang secretly happy, and Xue Yue's subsequent performance made Lu Jianzhang even more amazed. The effect was far beyond the arrangements he had made before. Since that was the case, let the iron bet while it was hot. Lu Jianzhang followed the boat and let Xue Yue act as the role task he had arranged, and he also specifically asked to make a bet.

Even if Lu Jianzhang loses, he can still win a reputation for promoting talent. As for him to win? Lu Jianzhang never thought that Lu Jianzhang had lived for most of his life and was still very accurate in his view. When he saw Xue Yue, he fell in love with this young officer. After talking, he felt that this was a talent, especially his sharpness, which made Lu Jianzhang admire him very much.

He believed that Xue Yue would definitely not disappoint him, not to mention that ordinary officers were not clear about the power of the armored troops. As a senior officer, especially the commander of the military region, he still didn't know about it? When Xue Yue's military training was completed, he would pull out a fight and keep it stunned everyone. The reality was in front of him, and he believed that those who had opposed before would definitely change their original attitude, which made him more sure of winning in the war later.
