Chapter 729 Don’t think about being alone

"...Because I have a deep love for the country and the nation in my heart! I have a sense of crisis and mission that exceeds anyone else's for the country and nation that are in trouble. Since I, An Yi, have come to this world for a trip, I can't

If you don’t seek happiness for your own fathers and fellow countrymen..." After reading, Chiang Kai-shek put down the newspaper and said with emotion: "What An Yi said is very good. No wonder newspapers across the country are reprinting his speeches at the Yunnan Provincial Congress and Donlu University.

The content, such good eloquence, and such noble sentiments are indeed rare among our military generals, and they are very representative."

Yang Yongtai smiled slightly: "The evaluation of the commission is appropriate, but... General An did not mention the central government's concern for Yunnan in his speeches on different occasions during his week in Kunming, nor did he mention the commission for Yunnan.

The hard work put into development gives people a sense of taking the opportunity to establish personal prestige and put themselves above the organization.

"My subordinates always feel that General An's influence in the southwest is growing. This trip to Kunming has completely reversed the Yunnan people's shameful but hidden regional concept. The stubborn Yunnan Provincial Government

He began to change his mind and tried to gradually establish cooperative relations with southern Sichuan, western Hunan, and western Guizhou. This fully demonstrated that General An once again successfully exerted his unique influence in Yunnan.

"Of course, my subordinates admire General An's wisdom very much. His method of persuading Yunnan's political circles seems straightforward and does not give any face. However, after careful analysis, he found that it is very clever and effective. This is very similar to General An's fighting style. He takes advantage of others by surprise.

If you are unprepared, you can see the six paths and strike with precision. After you have identified the target, you will go straight to the vital point. You will always hit the nail on the head and get immediate results!"

Chiang Kai-shek naturally knew what Yang Yongtai wanted to express. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and turned to Chen Builei, the deputy minister of education and staff who did not speak:

"Yanji, what do you think of the public reports on Southwest China these days?"

Chen Brai's half-moon eyes left the newspaper in his hand: "Commissioner, I think there is nothing wrong with General An's approach. Since he became the deputy minister of education at the beginning of last year, he has visited Jiangnan University of Technology and Jiangnan Medical University six times.

In mid-March, he also inspected the Southern Sichuan Institute of Technology in Xufu and participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the scientific research building of the school's Mechanical Research Institute. I still admire General An Yi's efforts to vigorously promote close cooperation among the southwestern provinces in terms of education.

of.

"For a long time, our country has had such a practice. To win the hearts and minds of the people, we must first win public opinion. To win public opinion, we must win the hearts of the intellectuals who control public opinion. To win the hearts of the intellectuals, we must attach great importance to education and give it to scholar-bureaucrats.

Provide them with tangible benefits, cater to their interests, and give them hope.

"General An is obviously good at this. From Nanchang to Yichang, from western Hunan to southern Sichuan, and now to Yunnan, General An has done a very good job in controlling and guiding public opinion.

It’s easy to do it with ease, it’s really not easy!

"It's just that it would be a pity for General An's great talent, especially his astonishing talent in the military field, to be placed in local construction and handling local and trivial civil affairs, especially in today's era of suppressing bandits and fighting chaos.

In this critical period, the party and the country urgently need him to preside over the war!"

When Chiang Kai-shek heard what Chen Bulei said, he nodded thoughtfully, considered for a moment, and turned to Yang Yongtai: "Chang Qing, you also know that less than two months have passed since the Songhu War.

All three main divisions of the 24th Army were lost in battle, and more than half of them were lost in battle. The Independent Division, the ace division of our Central Army, is still recovering from its wounds and its combat strength has not yet been restored. Therefore, in this large-scale campaign to suppress bandits and quell the rebellion, we

We cannot and cannot bear to use these heroic and fighting main forces. They are in great need of rest, replenishment, restoration of combat strength, and rejuvenation. Therefore, I agreed to An Yi's request and discussed the establishment of the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Region Appeasement Office after the central government.

Better build and stabilize the southwest region and build a stable rear area for the future Sino-Japanese war.

"Judging from the current situation, less than two months after An Yi took office, he broke the deadlock of fragmentation and reunited the scattered Yunnan people. Basically, we achieved the goal we originally set. From this aspect

To measure this, An Yi has really contributed a lot. At the same time, it has also allowed us and all walks of life across the country to see that his ability in civil affairs is no worse than his ability in military matters. This may be what the public opinion circles have promoted and discussed.

That's probably the biggest reason.

"According to the original plan, An Yi will stay in southern Sichuan for at least the first half of the year, that is, until the end of this year. At this time, we will hurriedly transfer An Yi back from southern Sichuan on the grounds of the need to suppress bandits and quell rebellion. Will it affect his current situation?

Will the various strategies that are being steadily implemented in the southwest region cause the gains just obtained to be lost again?"

Yang Yongtai understood what Chiang Kai-shek was worried about, rolled his eyes, and replied calmly: "The committee is overly concerned! The committee should believe in Brother Yi's ability. Since Brother Yi took charge of Yunnan, he has gradually won the hearts and minds of the military and the people in a gradual and gentle way. From

The resistance of various separatist forces is decreasing day by day. Inviting An Yi here this time is probably a strategy of Brother Yi. He uses An Yi's lofty prestige and influence in the intellectual and academic circles to unexpectedly exert force and break through in one fell swoop.

The final obstacle has formed a natural trend, and Brother Yi will be much better from now on."

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while and nodded: "Well, that makes sense! It seems that you still know Brother Yi very well."

Yang Yongtai struck while the iron was hot: "Analyzing from General An's perspective, after two years of foundation laying and continuous huge investment, southern Sichuan can be said to be on the right track and is about to begin rapid development. At this time, General An will be able to stay in southern Sichuan.

, seems a bit overqualified. If the committee members feel uneasy, they can abolish the Southern Sichuan Appeasement Office or merge it into the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Region Appeasement Office. General Yang Bin, who is trusted by both the committee members and General An and is steady, practical and capable, can serve as

The position of deputy director of the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Area Appeasement Office, and the temporary acting director position when General An has other important tasks, can not only fully ensure that the current achievements will be carried forward, but also gain General An's understanding and peace of mind, allowing General An to take full advantage of the situation.

His strategy and commanding talents can be used in the current great cause of suppressing bandits and fighting chaos."

Chiang Kai-shek closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then opened his eyes and looked at Chen Bui: "Yanji, what's your opinion?"

Chen Bulei knew very well what Yang Yongtai was thinking. He also knew that there had been recent rumors in the Department of Political Science that An Yi had secret sympathy for the Communist Party and was unwilling to fight with his Huangpu colleagues in the Communist Party. Almost all of them came from the man in front of him.

Yang Yongtai, a heavyweight in the Department of Political Science, felt a little disdain for the political science department, which was constantly fighting for favor. However, considering the increasingly sharp conflicts between the political science department and the cc department, and considering that Chiang Kai-shek was using hegemony

In response to the need and balance on the topic, Chen Buley did not let his thoughts be revealed at all, but answered very moderately and appropriately:

"Should the committee first seek the opinions of General Jingzhi (He Yingqin), General Ren Chao (Li Jishen) and General Xuezhou (He Chengjun)? After all, these three generals are all independent generals, and their opinions are the best reflection of the current situation.

The military’s requirements.”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slowly. Yang Yongtai glanced at Chen Brai with a smile. He cursed the old fox in his heart, but strongly supported Chen Brai's opinion:

"Brother Yanji's suggestion is very reasonable. If General An is recalled by the commission, which position is more suitable and can better utilize General An's talents? However, it is a rather troublesome issue that cannot be ignored.

We need the Third Route General to give us a definite opinion."

"What is Chang Qing's opinion?" Chiang Kai-shek asked calmly.

Yang Yongtai was shocked, but said calmly: "Based on the current distribution of our three-pronged army, I think it would be better to follow the old rules and add a former enemy headquarters under the Suppression General, so that European and American countries can be

The military advisers gathered together to provide suggestions for the suppression of the general. Secondly, they could go to a certain army at any time under special orders from the commission to assist the commanders of various routes in directing the operations of various ministries. In view of General An's glorious military exploits over the years and his relationship with most of the generals in the army,

Better friendships will not only cause no conflict among the generals leading the troops, but can actually promote and compensate for them.

"The committee member has said more than once that General An is an open-minded man and has clear grievances. What is even more valuable is that he always takes the overall situation into consideration and has no official addiction. He is also deeply recognized by his subordinates. I believe that as long as General An can handle the relationship satisfactorily, and in the

Having bravely made new achievements in the great cause of suppressing bandits, those rumors that General An sympathized with the Communist Party and stayed alone will naturally be self-defeating."

"It makes sense, it makes sense! Let's stop here... Yanji, to be honest, I am very reluctant to let you leave. I will help you by going to Zhejiang. I hope you can stay in this current chaotic situation with constant student unrest and unrest.

Reorganize the education system of Zhejiang Province and set an example for other provinces." Chiang Kai-shek looked with hope at Chen Builei, who was going to Zhejiang again to serve as the Director of Education of Zhejiang Province.

Chen Bulei stood up quickly: "Brai will definitely live up to the expectations of the committee... In fact, Jiangxi is doing very well at present, as well as Xiangxi and southern Sichuan. There are no student unrest or unrest, and investment in education has increased year after year.

The education systems and intellectual circles in all provinces across the country are extremely envious and ashamed of themselves. They are more representative and it is really difficult for me to do better!"

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly, knowing that Chen Brai was complaining insinuatingly, so he rarely said something witty: "How about I let you know when An Yi comes back, and you come to Hankou and have a good discussion with him about Zhejiang Province and southern Sichuan.

Regarding cooperation in culture, education and health, this guy has always had a good relationship with you, and he has always been generous and fully supportive of education.

"At present, the central government is financially strapped and cannot make ends meet. Suppression of bandits costs a lot of money but is a top priority. Last month, Finance Minister Song just borrowed 20 million from the National Industrial and Commercial Bank headed by Mr. Zhou Chongan, and it is for one year. You can also borrow money within Zhejiang Province

, to provide some convenience and support to the recently upgraded National Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and I believe they will reciprocate the favor."

"Thank you for your appointment! With the appointment, my subordinates feel much more at ease." Chen Bulei said with a smile.

After sending away Chen Bulei and Yang Yongtai, Chiang Kai-shek thought repeatedly and finally issued an order: Appoint An Yi as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters of the Suppression General Headquarters, and lead the staff team to report to Hankou within three days!

Kunming, Yunnan, the official residence of Zhu Peide, Yunnan Military Academy.

An Yi handed Chiang Kai-shek's urgent telegram to Zhu Peide. After reading it, Zhu Peide was surprised. After thinking about it, he asked An Yi to go to the backyard with him for a walk.

Arriving at the entrance of the garden, Zhu Peide asked in a low voice: "What do you think the appointment was based on?"

An Yi sighed: "I was originally promised to give me half a year to consolidate southern Sichuan and unite the entire southwest. Now it's less than two months, and my wedding leave has not even ended, and the urging telegram came again. According to the current war zones

Judging from the progress of the campaign, it seems that there is no need to call me back. It is very likely that someone is slandering me in front of the commission."

"I also have this idea. If you are too famous and your achievements are too obvious, it is inevitable to attract jealousy, especially now that the struggle between the central factions is intensifying. The political science department headed by Yang Changqing, Xiong Tianyi (Xiong Shihui) and Mr. Guofu's brothers

The cc department has publicly broken up, and the reorganization faction of Sun Ke and others has been making trouble outside. Wang Zhaoming and his party have not reciprocated their ardent hopes for you. You can't do it even if you don't want to offend each other and keep yourselves.

"Originally, I also hoped that you would leave Nanjing, a place of right and wrong, and go down to the local area to do some practical work, but now it seems that it is difficult to do so. This officialdom has been full of dangers from ancient times to the present! Fortunately, I will return to Yunnan.

When I go to my hometown, I don’t have so many worries anymore, but it’s really difficult for you.” Zhu Peide sighed very much.

An Yi thought for a while and smiled without worrying: "Whatever, there must be a road to the mountain, and a living person will not choke to death, haha! But what you always promised to my nephew must be done as soon as possible, otherwise my nephew

Don’t worry!”

"Wait! I really don't understand why you have set your sights on the four towns in southern Yunnan? Are there gold or silver mines there that make you invest so heavily?" Zhu Peide still didn't understand An Yi's decision.

An Yi smiled: "Uncle, if there are really gold and silver mines there, my nephew will not be so anxious. Southern Yunnan is the same as the western Yunnan area where my nephew has repeatedly begged you to build a road as soon as possible. It is very likely that it will

It has become an important lifeline. Think about it, if China and Japan start fighting again, will the broken ships of our navy be able to defend the coastal areas? If they cannot, what will we use to build guns, cannons and aircraft?

Even if we can build them all, without the import of gasoline and diesel, how can we use water to fly planes? If one day, the only way to solve the supply problem of energy and raw materials is through the Yunnan and Burma regions, so the roads must be repaired, and they must be repaired as soon as possible, even if

The scene I predicted will not happen, and it will be completely beneficial to Yunnan's political rule and economic development. If you do it well, you will make a lot of money in Sheji. If you can't do it, your specially modified car will also be there.

You have to put it in the garage and start riding again!"

"Is it really as mysterious as your kid says?"

"You have known my nephew for so many years. When did my nephew lie to you?"

"Speaking of it, it's really... No, I'll send a telegram to your Uncle Dao when I get back and ask him what his fortune will be in the next ten years..."
