Chapter 1309: Between Gain and Loss

"What happened to An Yi, something happened to An Yi..."

Chiang Kai-shek's face was pale, his hands and feet were cold, and he murmured when he fell into his seat.

Qian Dajun was so scared that he hurried forward and reminded: "Commission, the First Battalion of the Southwest Air Force has been dispatched, and the New Second Army stationed in Bengbu has also sent troops to search and rescue. Now we should immediately clarify the position of our central government on this incident. Is it necessary to mobilize the army and cooperate with the Anjia Army in search and rescue operations?"

"Submit! Must be sent! Submit immediately!"

Chiang Kai-shek woke up from his dream and stood up and said loudly: "Immediately send a call to Zu Tao, Xiang Fang (Han Fuju) and Haiquan (Liu Shangqing), asking the governments of the three provinces of Su, Shandong and Anhui to fully cooperate with the search and rescue work, and at all costs, they must find the whereabouts of An Yi's special plane. In addition, the garrisons of the three provinces of Su, Shandong and Anhui must also join the search and rescue work. In a word: I have to see people in my life, and I have to see the corpse in my life!"

Qian Dajun took the order and left. Kawagoshima, who was sitting opposite Chiang Kai-shek's desk, looked coldly. Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek looked sad and didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help but raise his head and shouted: "Chairman, I don't want to witness your *** show here. I'm still waiting for you to give me an explanation!"

"What is the statement?"

Chiang Kai-shek was furious, "Now a great general in our country has been shot down by your fighter planes in our airspace. You actually asked me for an explanation? Ambassador, I can tell you clearly that we will not let go of people and ships, and not only the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but also all the most important ships and expatriates in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River must be detained! You can do whatever you like, anyway, you don't really plan to talk to us... Shihe, come in and see me off!"

"you--"

Kawagoshi stood up angrily and looked straight at Chiang Kai-shek, but he was secretly judging the impact of An Yi's special plane crash. A feeling of joy arose - the most difficult enemy of the empire was finally dead! The war against China carried out by the Imperial Team will return to the track of victory...

Kawagoe Shigei was full of thoughts. Under the leadership of An Yi, a military strongman, the Chinese team has maintained its unbeaten stature against the Emperor Team in Shanghai, Great Wall and the current Pingjin battles. What will the fall of this Chinese top champion who resolutely opposes Japan mean to the emperor?

This means that the Anjia Army, which is now important in the Chinese team system, may fall apart. Due to the National Government's covetousness of the industrial base in southern Sichuan, China may experience civil unrest, which means that the stalemate on the front line of Hebei is expected to change, and that *** can get things from the battlefield that cannot be obtained from the negotiating table.

Shigeru Kawagoe was originally very negative about his efforts to resolve the Sino-Japanese dispute through diplomatic means, thinking that *** had an absolute advantage over China and did not need to be polite to the Chinese government at all. However, during this period, the Japanese army performed poorly, which led to him not being tough enough when speaking. Facing the mocking expressions of ambassadors of Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Germany and other countries, he always felt that it was a huge insult to his personality.

At this moment, Kawagoe Shige suddenly regained his confidence. When Wang Shihe pushed open the door and came in to see off the guests, he picked up the hat on the table, bowed slightly to Chiang Kai-shek, and turned around and left with a smile.

Chiang Kai-shek's mind was full of An Yi's frown and smile. He thought of his jumping off the Ganjiang River during the Battle of the Northern Expedition to Nanchang to support the bridge for his retreat. He thought of his generous and sad words under the threat of Guizhou and He Yingqin after Jiangbei's defeat. He thought of his sympathy with An Yi when he stepped down from the country failed. He thought of his wedding gifts when he and Soong Mei-ling got married... one after another. Finally, when he thought of the blue-haired lychee that An Yi gave him, he suddenly burst into tears. He quickly took out his handkerchief to wipe away his tears and waved to Wang Shihe who stood beside him without looking squint:

"Shihe, your junior brother An's special plane is rushing to Nanjing. It is expected that the possible accident will be in the north of Bengbu and the area south of the Yellow River. Now that the Sino-Japanese War is at a critical moment, I will sit in Nanjing to supervise the war personally. You go to rest immediately, and then your teacher's wife will go to Nanjing Airport. If the weather is slightly better, you will fly to Xuzhou immediately. Your teacher's wife will supervise the search and rescue matters on my behalf... By the way, in order to ensure flight safety, the Air Force will send fighter jets to escort it. This incident has sounded the alarm for our safety guard work!"

Wang Shihe was shocked when he heard that something happened to An Yi.

After following Chiang Kai-shek for many years, Wang Shihe clearly knew An Yi's position in Chiang Kai-shek's mind, and at the same time he was more aware of An Yi's important role in the entire military and political system of the National Government.

As far as Wang Shihe knows, Chen Cheng, Jiang Dingwen, Gu Zhutong, Gu Zhenglun, Ge Jingen, Yu Feipeng, Cai Zhonghu, Yin Zusheng and other highly respected confidant generals around Chiang Kai-shek all had close economic relations with An Yi. At the same time, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols with deep influence such as Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing also had good cooperative relationships with An Yi. Even Wang Shihe himself also had a secret share dividend in An Yi's group. How could he not be extremely anxious when he heard something happened to An Yi?

Looking at Chiang Kai-shek's red eyes and a sad expression, Wang Shihe stepped forward: "Principal, please feel sorry for me! I have been dating Junior Brother An for many years and I firmly believe that he is not a lucky person... This time my master's wife goes to Xuzhou, I ask for follow-up protection, and I will definitely bring Junior Brother An back to you!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with relief: "Okay, I hope your good wishes can come true! After going out, please call Bree in. This time, the *** people did too much. We must fight back...go!"

"yes!"

......

Unlike heavy rains in Jiangnan and Huanghuai areas, since this spring, before the rain fell in Sichuan, 141 counties in 150 counties were affected. In the original history, the drought victims reached 35 million, of which at least more than one million starved to death. The drought is often concurrent with floods and locust plagues, which is the most killing famine, and the common people call it "slow knife". During this drought, 10 girls of thirteen or fourteen years old sold and married, and some young children were trapped in a pile of firewood because no one was willing to buy it and had no food to eat, and they were trapped in a pile of firewood to weigh the scales, which was worth 70 cents per catty. The desperate hungry people burned mountains to ask for rain in order to vent their anger.

Fortunately, due to the emergence of An Yi, history has deviated. The victims ate the bark and grassroots of their hometown and still did not expect God to rush toward southern Sichuan after the rain. Since the government came forward to provide disaster relief, at least they did not have to worry about starving to death.

Anjia Army set up a large number of disaster victim resettlement sites in the border areas of Xu Prefecture, Luzhou, Ziliujing and other forces, and various disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner.

There are several destinations for the resettlement of disaster victims: the first type is young and middle-aged people who are of the same age, qualified physical fitness and strong desire to serve the country. All of them are recruited into the reserve force, conduct unified military skills training and cultural education, and are ready to supplement the front-line troops at any time. This type of family often receives high living allowances and one person's subsidy for joining the army, so the family does not have to worry about their lives, so they register the most enthusiastic and the selection is the most stringent.

The second type is those who are strong and unwilling to take risks on the battlefield, or those who are eliminated from the army. After simple skill training, they enter the mine, smelting and working in the steel plant. As long as they work diligently for a month, the whole family can barely get enough food and clothing.

The third category is middle-aged and young women. After unified training, they are arranged to work in textile factories, canning factories, daily chemical factories, ceramic factories and other factories. The price is based on the workload, and the more work, the more you get, can also ensure that the family survives.

In addition, all children will enter the school where their parents work and study, while the elderly will arrange for work in welfare clubs (places that engage in laundry and cooking), cigarette factories, cigarette boxes factories, etc., which do not require much labor. This multi-pronged approach ensures the minimum right of survival for the victims.

Of course, all of this has a prerequisite, that is, it must pass the identity review of the Fourth Department’s institution stationed in southern Sichuan. Any suspicious person who has ulterior motives and has not been confirmed by fellow villagers will be deported.

After solving the problem of the disaster victims, the pressure faced by the southern Sichuan government did not reduce at all. Although the spring harvest in the Xiafu and other places did not reduce much yield with the help of the large-scale farmland water conservancy project built by Anjiajun, and the seedlings were planted smoothly, as the drought worsened, the ditches connecting rivers were far inferior to the evaporation rate. The lakes far and near gradually dried up. When the seedlings that had grown to more than one foot high were in need of water, the fields were no longer water.

Nowadays, garrisons in southern Sichuan are working hard to adjust the water from major rivers such as the Minjiang River, Jinsha River, Tuojiang River, Buxi River and the Yangtze River, and build large quantities of water pumps and add water pumps to ensure agricultural water use. At the same time, the Sujing Office of the Xuzhou Prefecture also sent engineer troops to vigorously dig deep water wells to solve the problem of water difficulties for people in mountainous areas. The entire southern Sichuan has entered a state of drought resistance and disaster relief.

Xufu, a military airport runway located on the north bank of the Minjiang River.

Today is sun shining brightly again. Dong Zechuan, deputy director of the Pacification Office of the Xufu and mayor of the Xufu, Jiang Yunshan, secretary-general of the Office, Gong Qian, director of the research institute, Ou Chuer, and Feng Jieyun, accompanied by Luo Zhichun, director of the Xufu Aircraft Factory, and dozens of Chinese and foreign experts, enjoy the performance of the mosquito-type w4048 aircraft purchased from secret channels.

This w4048 aircraft used for test flights is the latest product of the British De Havelland Company. Like all fighters produced in the Syrian country, the fuselage is painted silver-gray. When he first came into contact with this all-wood fighter, Luo Zhichun and almost all experts were a little disdainful, but he was soon amazed by the unique design and ability of this aircraft:

The w4048 aircraft performs better than the a25 fighter in terms of self-weight, engine power and range. Its speed is 65 kilometers/hour faster than the fastest a26 fighter at present. In the previous test flights, it once reached an astonishing speed of 555 kilometers/hour, and its ceiling reached an astonishing 10,000 meters; especially in terms of load capacity, the wooden w4048 aircraft far exceeded everyone's expectations, carrying 1,500 kilograms of weight without any obstacles, and it can still take off safely when bearing 3,500 kilograms of weight, which immediately convinced everyone.

After more than fifty tests and confirming that this new fighter has no problems in terms of safety and reliability, the Xiafu Aircraft Factory officially invited the Xiafu Air Force military and political officials and Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun, who were in charge of the Nanchuan Group's wallet, to attend the performance, and strive to launch the Mosquito Aircraft Factory as soon as possible.

On the wide and flat test field, Dong Zechuan and Jiang Yunshan were well-dressed with their hands covering their eyes. Gong Qian, Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun were wearing sunglasses, and everyone looked up at the sky. The scorching sun in August was dazzling, and the whole group was sweating profusely by the sun, and the blue sky was terrifyingly clear.

As the edge of the sun halo, a small black dot appeared faintly, moving slowly in the blue sky, like a tiny ant. Gradually, the outline of the plane gradually became larger, and everyone on the ground could vaguely hear a strange sound, similar to the disturbing dream-clad sound made by mosquitoes flapping their wings.

Dong Zechuan and Jiang Yunshan couldn't help but put down their hands blocking their eyes. Gong Qian, Ou Chu'er and Feng Jieyun also took off their sunglasses. Everyone couldn't help but let go of their protection for their eyes, looked up at the sky with their heads raised, letting sweat come out and flow along their necks to their bodies. The blood in their bodies seemed to be ignited at this moment.

Soon, the figures of the fighter jets in the sky became clearer and louder, and the harsh screams became louder and louder. Two 20mm cannons on the wings, one left and one right, began to spit out flames, hitting the human-shaped targets set up in the area more than 400 meters away from the distance and fell to the ground.

Dong Zechuan and Jiang Yunshan looked at each other without any expression, and once covered their ears. Gong Qian and Ou Chu'er and Feng Jieyun had a little better reaction. After all, they had read the relevant information in detail before the visit, and they knew more about this kind of plane than others, so they could still be calm, but their trembling legs still betrayed their nervousness at the moment.

"Boom boom boom boom--"

More than 400 tank targets outside were accurately hit and fire burst out.

When everyone recovered, the w4048 fighter jet had already soared into the sky, hovered in the sky for a while, and finally stopped smoothly in front of everyone.

"No wonder it is called a mosquito aircraft. The sound of mosquitoes twitching at night suddenly amplifies a hundred times. It sounds heart-wrenching, but it's really uncomfortable... This kind of fighter aircraft seems to be somewhat similar to the ab26 dive bomber we produce, but the production price is mostly half cheaper. It's really hard to imagine that wooden aircraft can be so excellent." Gong Qian exclaimed sincerely.

At this time, the cockpit of the plane opened, Major General Yu Zhixiang, deputy commander of the Southwest Air Force, jumped down one after another, and Yu Zhixiang strode to the front of the crowd, and detailed introduction:

"...This type of aircraft is indeed excellent, but since it is made of all wooden, the protection of pilots is very small. Once it is hit by an enemy plane, it is difficult to survive. I think this super fast fighter with our radar navigation system will probably be much better at night to perform missions, or simply act as a bomber and operate under the escort of fighter planes. It is also a good choice."

If An Yi was here, he would definitely accuse Yu Zhixiang of not caring for his body. The dignified Air Force deputy commander actually went to test the plane himself, but no one blamed Yu Zhixiang at this moment. Instead, a large group of people surrounded him admirably, constantly discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the fighter plane, as well as their feelings during flight.

Luo Zhichun gave Ou Chu'er a thumbs up and said with satisfaction:

"Madam, the launch of this all-wood fighter can greatly alleviate the shortage of fighter aircraft facing our air force and flight schools at present, especially its excellent engine technology, which can bring a lot of help to our research. Madam's vision is sharp, and this introduction is worth a lot!"

Just as Ou Chu'er was about to explain that the investment was completed under the guidance of An Yi, she saw Colonel Xu Moran, the Director of the Air Force Intelligence Department, accompanying Ding Zhicheng, the Police Director of the Pacification Office of the Xu Prefecture, rushing to the scene.

Ding Zhicheng's eyes were red. As soon as he saw Gong Qian, Ou Chu'er and Feng Jieyun, he quickly walked forward and said in a choked voice:

"The commander's landline was pursued by the Japanese army and lost contact in the Huanghuai area. Sister Gong, two wives, we need to return to the headquarters immediately..."
