The ninth and fifty-third chapters are mutually beneficial
Chapter 953: Cooperation benefits both sides
It was late at night, An Yi said goodbye to Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, left Meilu, and walked to his brand-new yard less than 1.5 kilometers away from Meilu.
Since the completion of this villa, An Yi has not been here once. Lao Shoudao sent several gardeners and workers to take care of the spacious yard and three villa buildings. After Yin Jinan was ordered to serve as an instructor of the Lushan Officer Training Corps, he brought his wife Duan Xiner here. After settling in, it was officially put into use, and the courtyard also had a name, "Lushan Sanatorium of the 24th Army of the National Revolutionary Army".
Shen Fengdao and An Yi walked side by side. The two walked slowly and did not talk to each other. The four guards walked far in front of and behind them, as if they were enjoying the night view leisurely.
An Yi was still thinking about the two-and-a-half-hour secret talk that had just ended. Chiang Kai-shek asked An Yi for his opinions on the military and political situation, foreign relations, border issues between North China and China and Myanmar, financial status quo, and industrial and commercial development, which made An Yi feel a little sudden. I was also very excited. It was the first time that Chiang Kai-shek discussed the current situation of the entire country and the army with An Yi so solemnly, which meant that from today on, An Yi's political status was finally recognized by Chiang Kai-shek.
Not long after the meeting, An Yi took advantage of the incident of Sheng Shicai's detention of the Central Special Task Force to propose to Chiang Kai-shek. In fact, it was a long-planned test by An Yi to explore whether Chiang Kai-shek would be successful in his future governance. Give An Yi, a member of the Central Military Commission, the status and rights he deserves.
The result made An Yi very satisfied - Chiang Kai-shek, who clearly saw the current difficult situation, adopted a compromising attitude towards An Yi, and even had further plans. Several messages clearly conveyed in Chiang Kai-shek's words finally made An Yi complete Relax completely and completely.
During the secret talks, Chiang Kai-shek earnestly hoped that An Yi would return to the Military Commission as soon as possible to assume his "responsibility" and continue to serve as his powerful deputy chief of staff, responsible for the military operations and strategic planning of the national army; Chiang Kai-shek twice talked about the staff The fourth department of the important military intelligence department of the headquarters calls Zhao Rui "acting director", which means that he is still not at ease with Zhao Rui acting as the important director of the fourth department, and needs An Yi to come back to strengthen management; in southern Sichuan In terms of the political status and jurisdiction of southern Yunnan, Chiang Kai-shek fully agreed to change the name of the "Simao Reclamation Area" to the "Southern Yunnan Reclamation Area", and the regional appeasement office and its affiliated security forces and engineering units were initially designated as military level. Not only did An Yi need To undertake the relocation and resettlement of hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, we also need to shoulder the heavy responsibility of border defense.
Chiang Kai-shek revealed to An Yi that Wang Jingwei, Lin Sen and several central leaders, in view of the rapid development of Xufu, the population of the urban area and surrounding areas has reached 5 million, and the area’s increasingly important economic driving force for the four provinces of Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou. and political influence, he planned to convene a special meeting of the Central Committee to discuss and establish Xufu as a municipality on the same level as Sichuan Province. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek also proposed a plan to "abolish the Sichuan-Hunan-Yunnan-Guizhou Border Region Appeasement Office" and establish a "Xufu Camp", which was The new "Syrian camp" continues to exercise military and political jurisdiction over the existing jurisdictions. An Yi still serves as the "camp director" and the central government still grants An Yi "a high degree of autonomy in ethnic minority areas." However, the camp chief of staff, the political department Party affairs positions such as director and director of the political training department must be adjusted accordingly according to the requirements of the Central Party Committee.
After a moment's thought, An Yi analyzed the pros and cons. In return, he solemnly promised Chiang Kai-shek that he would never engage in any exchanges with any anti-Chiang forces except in the economic and trade field, and would not politically support the confrontation between Guangdong, Guangxi, and the central government.
If the Guangdong and Guangxi military groups launch an armed rebellion, the southern Sichuan army will obey Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's orders and, under the leadership of the Central Military Commission, launch a crusade against the rebel forces.
This time, the smart An Yi did not mention "demanding debt" during the entire secret conversation. Instead, he took the initiative to propose that "if a new business is established, it will bear fiscal taxes to the central government in accordance with the law like all provinces six months after its establishment."
If the status quo is maintained, An Yi will also give up the preferential three-year tax exemption policy granted by the Ministry of Finance to southern Sichuan in the second half of last year and pay taxes to the central government in advance from January 1 of the following year."
An Yi's series of clear-cut statements made Chiang Kai-shek feel more comfortable, and thus gradually eased the conflict that had suddenly escalated with An Yi some time ago.
Based on An Yi's substantial and huge concessions, Chiang Kai-shek returned the favor and took the initiative to ask about the designation of Zhang Chengzhu's 1st Cavalry Division, which had completed the transformation, and planned to give Zhang Chengzhu the designation of the 68th Division of the 61st Army that had been revoked after the armistice in North China.
Decided to transfer Zhang Chengzhu's division, which had strong troops and horses and well-equipped equipment, to Shijia.
Zhuang, and agreed to An Yi's request and appointed Xiao Wu, who had just graduated from the general class of the Central Military Academy, as Zhang Chengzhu's chief of staff. After that, Zhang Chengzhu's division would be under the control of Hu Jialin's 17th Army, together with the other three divisions under the 17th Army.
At the same time, complete control of the central and southern Hebei regions and better consolidate the defense of North China.
Before leaving, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked about An Yi's sworn brother Luo Shaodong. An Yi was a little strange, but still truthfully introduced that Dongzi was still serving as a brigade commander in the First Division of his senior brother Hu Zongnan. Chiang Kai-shek nodded and talked about the war.
Yu Dawei, the Director of the Military Industry Department, asked him to transfer Luo Shaodong, who was proficient in military logistics management and had practical experience in leading troops, to the Ordnance Industry Department as the Major General Deputy Director of the General Affairs Department, responsible for the planning management and material allocation of the national military industry enterprises.
An Yi was very surprised when he heard this. He originally planned to transfer his brother back to him after this period of work, and take on the military supplies logistics and depot management of the entire army. After hearing what Chiang Kai-shek said, he immediately understood that what Yu Dawei meant was actually Chiang Kai-shek.
This means that by transferring Luo Shaodong to the Ordnance Industry Administration, the business ties and technical exchanges between the centrally-affiliated military industry enterprises and the Xiangxi Arsenal, Xufu Arsenal and even Anyi's Ordnance Research Institute will be strengthened.
As long as Luo Shaodong takes office, Yu Dawei can order Luo Shaodong to assist the Ordnance Industry Administration and the Munitions Administration to obtain advanced equipment and technology from the technologically advanced Xiangxi Arsenal and the increasingly expanding Xufu Arsenal, which has a tendency to catch up from behind.
An Yi thought for a moment and felt that this was beneficial to the entire country. The centrally-affiliated military industrial enterprises could improve with the help of his own technology, which would be of great benefit to the entire national defense construction. The only loss would be to himself, but these losses could be recovered from
Earn back from the supply of production equipment and raw materials. As for the extremely confidential radar technology, radio communication technology, etc., even if the King of Heaven comes, An Yi will not give it to him. If he wants to take it, he will exchange it for the product with real money and silver, and there will be no need to discuss anything else.
.
After repeated consideration, An Yi nodded and agreed to Yu Dawei's request, but explained that he still had to listen to the opinions of his senior brothers Hu Zongnan and Luo Shaodong on this matter.
Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, just agree, and let the General Office of the Military Commission figure out other matters.
Thus, Dongzi's fate was determined in a few words. However, Dongzi himself was still stationed thousands of miles away in the Shaanxi-Gansu area at this time, and he probably didn't know why he received the transfer order.
When An Yi and Shen Fengdao entered the main building of the villa, Yin Jinan and his wife had not rested yet, and seemed to be waiting for An Yi and Shen Fengdao to return.
After greeting each other, Yin Jinan nodded slightly, and the gentle Duan Xiner immediately returned to the kitchen with a smile, and together with his adjutant Zhou Tong and an orderly, they brought out the sumptuous dishes that were still radiating heat and placed them neatly.
Yin Jinan smiled at An Yi and Shen Fengdao who were looking at the dazzling array of dishes in surprise: "I know that my eldest brother and old Shen are so busy that I'm afraid they haven't had a full meal yet, so I took leave from the training group in the afternoon and stayed with Xin'er.
The food is ready. Come and sit down
, have something to eat. The wine was delivered by Old Hantou himself before he evacuated from Lao Nanchang. Old Hantou finally got his wish and took his wife and children back to his hometown. He said that he must open the largest restaurant in Neijiang. By then,
Brothers, if you go up and down, you might as well find a place to stay."
"Neijiang? That's a good place. It will be a railway transportation hub in the future! But I don't know if the railway project can be approved..." An Yi said, sat down, and took the cigarette from Shen Fengdao:
"Old Hantou is a smart man. Knowing that we were withdrawing from Old Nanchang, he quickly transferred two hotels and an inn at the best price. Among the old brothers who survived the model camp, Old Hantou is probably the most talented
Money, in a blink of an eye
He has a net worth of tens of millions, which is enough for him to return to his hometown in fine clothes. Even if he returns to Neijiang, he is close to us old brothers and can have someone to take care of him. Besides, if the railway is really built in the future, it won’t take long to visit him.
.”
Seeing that Yin Jinan had not interfered with the railway matter, Shen Fengdao smiled and asked: "Jinan, you brought your brothers and sisters over from Xufu, are you planning to stay in Nanjing in the future?"
Yin Jinan shook his head, smiled bitterly, took the wine bottle from the adjutant's hand, filled three glasses, and respectfully toasted the two brothers before saying: "Eat, let's talk while eating."
An Yi put down his wine glass and looked seriously into Yin Jinan's eyes: "Jinan, you have something on your mind... Do we need to hide anything between us brothers? Just tell us if you have anything."
"Well, it seems I can't hide anything from you." Yin Jinan met An Yi's concerned gaze, sighed slightly, and filled An Yi's wine again:
"Brother, I am very confused now... Several German consultants in the advisory group have worked with me for more than ten days. As the relationship deepened, we had many common topics. They solemnly suggested that I go to the Army University in Berlin.
Let’s go. After I came back, I thought about it again and again. I was deeply touched and thought their opinions were very good. I’m moved... Today I just want to ask eldest brother and Lao Shen to give me some advice. Should I go or not?”
An Yi and Shen Fengdao looked at each other, neither of them expected that this was what Yin Jinan was worried about.
An Yi felt a little pain in his heart, knowing that it was because of him that Yin Jinan was in an extremely embarrassing situation. A powerful lieutenant general who led troops, but he left the army and his military career, which was euphemistically called promotion.
He is a senior instructor in the training camp for training officers, but who knows the pressure he is under?
An Yi lowered his head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind. He raised his head again and looked into Yin Jinan's sincere eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and yelled one word: "Go!" After that, he picked up the cup and drank it all.
Shen Fengdao glanced at An Yi with some confusion: "Is it necessary to go out? Are those foreign military theories really suitable for China? Look at the cadres of the Red Army, who went to study in foreign military academies and won the war differently? "
Having said this, Shen Fengdao raised his cup and touched it lightly with Yin Jinan: "Brother, after all, your arrival at the Training Directorate is temporary. As our relationship with the central government improves, I believe it won't be long before you can return to the Training Directorate. Back to the brothers... On the way back just now, the commander told me that the committee has agreed that we should form another army in southern Yunnan. The name will remain the current Southern Yunnan Garrison Command for the time being until the national army reorganization work begins next year. They will give us a new number. If you go to study abroad, how will you be able to come back in three or two years?"
Yin Jinan finished his drink and smiled slightly: "Old Shen, to be honest, my younger brother is not suitable for being in the officialdom. I can lead soldiers and do some research and teaching. If I want my younger brother to learn from my elder brother in all fields of military and political affairs, Don't worry, I can't do it even if I have only three heads and six arms; and another thing, through this commission and the conflicts between us, I have seen a lot of things clearly, and suddenly I feel that I have never been so tired before. After coming to Lushan, I thought about it. I went there, and finally found out that what I like to do most is still in the research of military theory, which is why I was willing to transfer to the Training Directorate."
"The regularization of the army is our goal. Just because the Red Army can win the war, we cannot deny advanced military theory. In fact, has our army really learned the essence of the German army? I don't think so! Moreover, if we are to follow the South If you don’t go abroad, you can only stay at the Central Committee. The Chairman will not let go so easily. Going out is just a way to relax. Traveling to relieve your mood is also a good choice."
After An Yi finished speaking, he raised his head and drank a large glass, then ate the food with great gusto, which made Duan Xiner, who was watching with interest, couldn't help but laugh.
Duan Xiner stepped forward to pour wine for An Yi: "Brother, eat slowly. If you want to eat anything after eating, my little sister will make it for you."
"That's enough, that's enough. Brothers and sisters, don't be so busy. We are all our own people. Why are you so polite?" An Yi put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, raised his head and smiled at Duan Xiner: "Brothers and sisters, do you want to do the same? Go to Germany and see.”
Duan Xiner nodded sheepishly: "When I was in Xufu, I was with Chu'er and Sister Yun almost every day. Seeing that Chu'er was so capable and Sister Yun was so knowledgeable, I felt ashamed and very I want to go back to school and study more. This time Jinan asked my little sister for her opinion, and she also thought it was an opportunity."
An Yi nodded and turned to Yin Jinan: "How is your German learning going?"
"I don't have any superficial knowledge. I plan to learn German for a year when I get to Germany. Only by learning other people's language and characters can I learn the real thing. Thinking of some people in the army who claim to have studied in famous universities in Europe and the United States, I feel sorry for you. They are sad, to put it harshly, apart from being able to write a few foreign words, they are actually just idiots. If this is the case, I would rather not go." Yin Jinan said with a smile.
An Yi thought for a while and said: "You are so smart, you should have no problem learning the language. Besides, we have hundreds of international students in Germany. Four of the batch we sent to Germany five years ago are still doing research. What do you think?
Learning German is very convenient, but you have to promise that when I come back,
You can't go there, just work in the headquarters of our army. You can choose whether you want to be the chief of staff or the army commander. If you like to engage in military theoretical research, you can also serve as the director of education of the non-commissioned officer school. Anyway, I don't care if I hold this position concurrently.
It will be more beneficial to the military academy if you come here."
