    Marriage is always a matter between two people. Only when two people nod at the same time can it happen. Otherwise, everyone's talk will be in vain.

    Especially the target is the unruly Miss Kong. If she doesn't want to, I'm afraid even Chiang Kai-shek can't do anything about it.

    Therefore, Li Guoyao felt that if he wanted to handle this matter properly, he had to start with Miss Kong.

    After some deliberation, Li Guoyao replied a letter to Gu Zhutong, saying that he could not make the decision on this matter. Firstly, he already had a wife, and Miss Kong obviously could not be a concubine, but this ordinary wife needed  My wife agreed.

    Secondly, I and Miss Kong are strangers to each other. We have never met each other in person. We have never met each other. It is not appropriate to talk about marriage in the distance. If possible, let Miss Kong come to visit us.  On the front line, the two of them met before talking about anything else.

    Regarding Li Guoyao's reply, both Chief Gu and Lao Jiang felt that it was expected. Although they had never met Li Guoyao, they did have a certain understanding of his personality and knew that he was a very independent person.  He can be easily manipulated by others.

    What¡¯s more, this is a major matter of marriage, and no one would be careless!

    ??????????????????????? Madam has already consulted the Kong family about this matter, and the answer given by Miss Kong Er was to find a chance to meet in person first.

    "But let's just let Miss Kong Er go to the front line. The front line is dangerous. How can Miss Kong easily get involved in dangerous places? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

    Since Ms. Kong can¡¯t go to the front line, we can only let Li Guoyao return to Wuhan. After all, we must see him this time.

    It just so happens that the fighting on the Bengbu front line has ended now. The Japanese troops on the Bengbu front line have been disabled. Not to mention attacking, they can barely protect themselves. Therefore, the national army on the front line can also have a period of rest.

    Of course, there must be a reason for a famous general like Li Guoyao to return to Wuhan. After all, if this matter cannot be accomplished, both parties will have room for maneuver.

    "If people knew from the beginning that Li Guoyao returned to Wuhan for a blind date, and the object was Miss Kong, it would definitely cause an uproar and cut off the escape route for both parties. If the blind date failed, they would definitely turn against each other.

    Soon the Military Commission issued an order, in view of Li Guoyao's outstanding achievements in this battle, to award him a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, ordering him to leave for Wuhan immediately to receive the medal.

    After receiving the telegram from the Third War Zone, Li Guoyao suddenly showed a wry smile. In order to bring him and Miss Kong Er together, Chiang Kai-shek really spent a lot of money, even taking out the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun.

    If we want to say what the most common reward was during the Anti-Japanese War, it was undoubtedly the medal. After all, the country is currently in financial difficulty. In addition to spiritual rewards such as medals, other material rewards cost a lot of money, and there is no way to do so.  Popularize frontline officers and soldiers on a large scale.

    For example, in this battle, although the government has provided a bonus of 150,000 yuan, what can this 150,000 yuan do to the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on the front line?

    Excluding the part taken by the officers, the front-line soldiers may not even get one yuan. But now that prices are soaring and the currency is depreciating, what can one yuan buy?

    But medals are different. A medal only costs a few dollars, so sometimes when you really don¡¯t know what to reward, the Military Commission will use a rain of medals instead.

    It is precisely because of this that many medals do not have a high gold content, but this does not include the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal that Li Guoyao received this time.

    The Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun is awarded to military personnel with meritorious services who have defended their homeland and resisted foreign aggression. It began to be awarded in 1930. The first batch of candidates were meritorious officials who performed outstandingly in the Middle East Road Incident. A total of 6 people were awarded.  , the first one is Marshal Zhang, and the other five are: Wang Shuchang, Hu Yukun, Yu Xuezhong, Zou Zuohua, and Shen Honglie, all famous generals of the Northeast Army, and later they were awarded the rank of second-level general for their military exploits.

    There was only one awardee in the second batch, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek himself, who was awarded the award in 1931 because Chiang had ended the warlord war and made an indelible contribution to the unification of the country.  , resist foreign aggression" standards.

    However, also in 1931, an eternal pain for the Chinese people occurred - the September 18th Incident. Chiang's performance after the incident was truly worthy of this Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun!

    Then came the period of conflict between the Chinese and the Japanese, such as the January 28th Incident, the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, etc., and a large number of medal recipients also appeared; in 1937, the all-out Anti-Japanese War broke out, and this medal symbolized "protecting the family"  The honor of "defending the country and resisting foreign aggression"??The period when most should be awarded.

    According to statistics, before the Kuomintang withdrew from the mainland, a total of 192 people were awarded the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun, of which 166 were awarded during the Anti-Japanese War. The famous generals we are familiar with were basically awarded during this period.

    It can be said that the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun is the National Government¡¯s highest honor award for meritorious generals, and Chiang Kai-shek was able to award this medal to him. It can be said that he really spent a lot of money.

    But because of this, Li Guoyao is really worried about going to Wuhan this time. Everyone has invested a lot of money, and he is obviously determined to win this matter. If he says no before the battle, the consequences will be disastrous.

    However, now that the matter has come to this, Li Guoyao cannot make excuses not to go, otherwise the consequences will be more serious.

    In desperation, Li Guoyao could only leave matters in the division to Xu Hu and Wang Zhanhai, while he took Zhang Shaolin and two hundred special forces members to Wuhan urgently.

    Because they were worried about being intercepted by the Japanese army, Li Guoyao and others set off by car overnight.

    When passing by Hefei, Li Guoyao made a special trip to see Commander Gu and presented him with a general sword, which was the command sword of Yin Dongzhengxi, commander of the 101st Division.

    Commander Gu liked Li Guoyao's gift very much. As a soldier, it was a sign of bravery to take the opponent's senior general's sword as a trophy.

    With the intention of reciprocating the favor, before leaving, Chief Gu told Li Guoyao that if he came to Wuhan and had unresolved issues, he could visit Minister He.

    It could be heard that Chief Gu wanted to help him, for which Li Guoyao immediately expressed his gratitude.

    Li Guoyao had no ill feelings toward Gu Zhutong. He knew that Gu loved officers who could lead troops in battles, and he was often dealt with lightly even if he violated military discipline.  He provides a monthly subsidy to officers above the regiment commander. Although there is no explicit subsidy for battalion-level officers, each person can overdraft military expenses by 100 yuan per month, and the company commander will not be held accountable for taking a few shortfalls.

    "For those who are too old to serve as soldiers, Gu will be placed on the farm he founded, or a sum of money will be subsidized to allow them to run small businesses.

    His generosity towards his subordinates won over many people.  His set of methods earned him the reputation of "the military saint" among the Kuomintang army.  In his later years, his subordinates often visited him, and everyone respectfully called him "Mr. Mo".

    Despite this, Li Guoyao still had reservations about whether to ask Minister He for help. Although everyone knew that Minister He held a high position, Li Guoyao knew that because of his performance in the Double Twelve Incident, Chairman Chiang had no idea about Minister He.  The minister was already wary. If he got too close to Minister He at this time, it would be a good thing.

    But of course he won¡¯t say this in front of Commander Gu, as long as he knows it in his heart!

    After staying in Hefei for a few hours, Li Guoyao set off again, rushing all the way to Wuhan!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
