Gently pushing the door open, Xu Rui saw a graceful and elegant woman wearing a traditional Chinese cheongsam. In the original time and space, Xu Rui had seen photos of Song Meiling, and he recognized the woman in front of him at a glance. It's Song Meiling. Compared with the black and white photo, the real Song Meiling is more elegant.
Smiling slightly, Song Meiling approached Xu Rui with elegant steps, stretched out her hand and said enthusiastically: "Captain Xu, I have long admired your name. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. It was not until today that I got my wish."
Xu Rui was thinking about how he should face Soong Meiling. Soong Meiling's slender hand had already grasped Xu Rui's big hand. Xu Rui felt that the hand was so warm.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Song Meiling was so enthusiastic. Xu Rui naturally couldn't be too rude. He immediately withdrew his hand and said loudly: "Xu Rui has met Ms. Meiling."
What Xu Rui said about Ms. Meiling was very measured. It was not as rude as when the National Government officials called Soong Meiling Madam. She was neither humble nor overbearing. It was very appropriate. Moreover, by calling her like this, she distanced herself from Soong Meiling. He is not Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's person.
Although she was a little embarrassed, Song Meiling was a little unhappy with Xu Rui's name, but she did not show it, but smiled and said: "Captain Xu, you killed the enemy for the country. You are a rare hero. Zhongzheng and I respect you the most." A hero like you."
Song Meiling's words were very subtle. She was sending a message to Xu Rui, that is, she and Chairman Jiang were showing their goodwill to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui said: "Ms. Meiling, I, Xu Rui, just did what a Chinese should do."
Song Meiling said: "I have heard that you have made many great contributions in the Pacific battlefield, made you famous in foreign lands, and boosted the ambition of us Chinese people. The Chairman and I are very pleased, but it is a pity..."
Song Meiling deliberately put it off, but Xu Rui didn't answer. Song Meiling felt bored and had to continue: "I remember that Commander Xu was the commander a few years ago. He has made countless contributions in the past few years. With such military exploits, , if in the National Revolutionary Army, at least he is a military commander, what a pity, what a pity... "
Xu Rui knew that Song Meiling was about to get to the point, so he said: "Ms. Meiling, I, Xu Rui, have always been indifferent to fame and wealth. Whether it is an army commander or a regiment leader, even if I am only allowed to be a soldier, as long as I am allowed to fight the Japanese."
Song Meiling shook her head and said: "Captain Xu, don't you want to play your role in a larger area? As long as you join the National Revolutionary Army, then I can guarantee with your personality that you will at least be an army commander. , with your talents and military exploits, you might even be able to become the commander of the front army. As long as you can come over, everything will be easy to negotiate."
Xu Rui said: "Ms. Meiling, the Eighth Route Army is affiliated with the National Revolutionary Army. I am a member of the Eighth Route Army. Naturally, I have been a member of the National Revolutionary Army for a long time, don't you think?"
Song Meiling was speechless and had to change the subject and said: "Captain Xu is really admirable, but I am just a little bit angry." Song Meiling saw that Xu Rui could not lure him with official salary, but she felt a little admiration for Xu Rui in her heart. I can't help but sigh, why is such an officer with noble character and super ability not a member of the National Revolutionary Army
In fact, Song Meiling also knew that Xu Rui was originally a member of the National Revolutionary Army, but he turned to Yan'an because he and the National Revolutionary Army had different paths and could not get along.
Song Meiling sighed and said: "Captain Xu, I know that you have a noble character, have prejudices against the National Revolutionary Army, and cannot understand some things in the National Revolutionary Army, but you also know that the composition of the National Revolutionary Army is very It is complicated, there are the Central Army and the motley army, the good and the bad are mixed, and there are some unhealthy tendencies, but please believe that the Chairman of the Generalissimo is working hard to solve these problems.
Of course, you also know that China is like a terminally ill patient. The disease goes away like silk threads. To solve the problem, everything takes time. The Chairman needs some people of vision to unite around him and solve China's problems together. And you are an ideal candidate. If you can come here and want to lead troops to fight, you should at least be a military commander. If you want to play a greater role, you can directly enter the operations hall and give you a lieutenant general staff officer. I believe that with your Talent can play its due role no matter where it is. "
Xu Rui's heart was as strong as iron, and naturally he could not be moved by Song Meiling's words. He said calmly: "Ms. Meiling, do you think a person who is sick and about to die can really live again?"
"How do you say this?" Song Meiling asked.
"Today's China, as you said, is like a terminally ill patient. It is no longer possible to cure the disease with injections and medicines. Only by making up one's mind, cutting off the flesh and bones, and undergoing a major operation can the cure be cured. Otherwise, maintaining the status quo will only make the disease worse."
Song Meiling certainly understood the meaning of Xu Rui's words. Xu Rui was determined to follow the Eighth Route Army and carry out a major change in China. It seemed that sometimes, they really had different paths and did not work together.
Thinking of this, Song Meiling sighed secretly. It's a pity that a capable person like Xu Rui actually joined the Eighth Route Army. Although the Eighth Route Army is still under the jurisdiction of the National Government in name, in fact, it has parted ways with the National Government. They only managed to save face and jointly deal with the Japanese. However, once the Japanese were driven away, the Eighth Route Army would inevitably become the most powerful enemy of the National Government.
The two sides exchanged a few more innocuous words, and Song Meiling felt even more that Xu Rui was determined to follow the Eighth Route Army and was not something she could bribe. They really had different paths and did not work together. It seemed that this conversation had come to an end. It's time.
Song Meiling looked gloomy and stopped talking. Xu Rui knew that there was nothing left to say. He had already broken with the National Government since he chose this path. He could not go against the trend of history and hug Soong Meiling and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. thigh.
Since we are not on the same front, then there is nothing to worry about. You just have to do whatever you want.
Seeing Xu Rui's leaving figure, Song Meiling let out a long sigh, feeling very emotional in her heart, why all the capable people went to the Eighth Route Army...
Because Xu Rui directly rejected the temptation of Song Meiling's high-ranking official and generous salary, his meeting with Soong Meiling ended on bad terms. Just as he was about to enter the hotel, he saw Hu Shi again.
Seeing Hu Shi again, Xu Rui was very surprised and asked: "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
Hu Shi said happily: "I heard that Mrs. Jiang is looking for you to talk, so I am going to talk to you."
Xu Rui immediately invited Hu Shi into his room, and the two sat on chairs and began to communicate.
Hu Shi said: "Commander Xu, what is my impression of Mrs. Jiang?"
Xu Rui said: "Although Ms. Meiling has a kind attitude, I can see the decisiveness and iron-bloodedness in her heart."
Hu Shi nodded and said: "Captain Xu is not very old, but he has a keen eye for people. Although Mrs. Chiang is humble and kind on the surface in the United States, she can't hide her arrogance."
Xu Rui asked: "Why do you want to talk to you about this, sir?"
Hu Shi said: "Actually, I'm very curious about you. Why can you be invincible and know no tricks? Why can you have such profound and profound insights? After thinking about it, there is only one possibility."
"Oh? What's possible?"
"If you are not a god descending to earth, you have the ability to see into the future."
Xu Rui's heart was beating wildly. It had been several years since he came to this parallel world, and no one had ever doubted his identity. But today, Hu Shi actually said such words. Did he really see something?
The shock in Xu Rui's heart was simply beyond words, but on the surface he tried his best to look calm and calm.
"Ha ha… "
Xu Rui and Hu Shi laughed at the same time.
Hu Shi said: "Commander Xu, although I know it is impossible, after seeing you, I sometimes really have the illusion that you may be born to fight against Japan."
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Sir's idea is really interesting."
Hu Shi also smiled and said: "After serving as a minister in the United States for several years, I met all kinds of people from all walks of life in the United States and heard many weird theories. A scientist named Einstein even said that if the absolute speed exceeds the speed of light, Time will go back, I just spoke out of emotion."
"Einstein is in Washington?" Xu Rui asked.
"Yes, he lives in a neighborhood in Washington. Because he is a world-famous scientist, the government attaches great importance to him." Hu Shi said.
Xu Rui's eyes lit up. Einstein published the "General Theory of Relativity" and had his own special understanding of time and space. If he could meet Einstein, he might be able to solve the mystery of his own time travel, and he might even be able to find love through love. Einstein returned to his original space.
When he thought about the possibility of returning to his original time and space after meeting Einstein, Xu Rui couldn't sit still. He must meet Einstein. Thinking of this, Xu Rui asked Hu Shi about Einstein. 's residence.
Hu Shi said: "Because Einstein is a special talent, the U.S. government has strictly protected his personal safety. You will definitely not see Einstein if you go like this. I have Einstein's phone number. I can help him." You make an appointment with him, and if everything goes well, we can meet him about tomorrow, but I don't understand why you want to meet Einstein."
Xu Rui said: "I learned that the United States has a top-secret plan that requires Einstein to research a super weapon. If this weapon is successfully developed, Japan can be easily defeated. Therefore, I want to meet Einstein and see Let’s see if we can use him to our advantage in China.”
When Hu Shi heard this, he said seriously: "This is a major event related to the country's reputation. Don't worry, I will help you make an appointment with Einstein."
"Thank you sir."
