The ninth and sixty-fourth chapter, the bold old friend
Chapter 964 A bold old friend
For two consecutive days, An Yi either attended military meetings or worked with Chen Lifu to analyze various intelligence sent back by Fujian 19th Route Army lurkers and intelligence agents who had penetrated into the Red Army. In the evening, he also needed to consult various sources based on a lot of information. Regarding issues such as the deployment of troops and the connection of defense zones, the accompanying generals and majors under their command were summoned to record a large number of notes, and an internal simulated battle was conducted in order to leave valuable information for future study and summary.
During two military intelligence analysis meetings and a map-based exercise hosted by Chiang Kai-shek in person and attended by the commanders-in-chief and chiefs of staff of all armies, An Yi watched and listened silently, without expressing any opinions from beginning to end. Chen Cheng and the head of the advisory group asked An Yi for his opinion several times, but An Yi declined easily and tactfully on the grounds that he had just arrived and was not familiar with the situation.
On the morning of the third day, An Yi quietly left Lushan according to Chiang Kai-shek's secret instructions, taking only the adjutant Shen Fengdao and the chief of guard Lin Yaodong, the confidential adjutant Liang Ziyan and the headquarters staff who arrived one after another, as well as the security guards sent from Old Nanchang. A special detachment of the mission is still stationed in Lushan.
At 9:10 a.m., An Yi's special car from the Central Party Committee arrived at Lushan Mahuiling Military Airport, boarded the special plane that had just landed, and flew to Nanchang Qingyunpu Airport. An Yi needed to stay in old Nanchang for a day to prepare for the trip. liaison and preparation work.
The newly built Lushan Airport is less than 110 kilometers away from Qingyunpu Airport. The special plane flies calmly at a cruising speed of 280 kilometers, and the take-off and landing time is only 30 minutes.
An Yi and the others in casual clothes got into the Jiangnan Group's car after getting off the plane and drove straight to the garrison camp in the southwest of Old Nanchang City. They had a brief meeting with garrison brigade commander Sun Xiaowang, chief of staff Ye Qingfeng and others. , then went to visit the last batch of 1,500 recruits heading to southern Sichuan on foot.
As nearly 35,000 new soldiers have been sent to southern Sichuan, the old Nanchang garrison responsible for guiding and escorting has only more than 2,000 officers and soldiers left, and its strength is already stretched. Sun Xiaowang requested to recruit another 3,000 new soldiers and train them on the spot. To supplement the missing personnel, An Yi agreed without hesitation and authorized Sun Xiaowang and Ye Qingfeng to form another automobile company. The remaining vehicles were urgently allocated from the Jiangnan Automobile Manufacturing Plant that was about to be fully transferred, which made Sun Xiaowang and Ye Qingfeng very happy. They were dancing and making promises repeatedly.
After quietly inspecting the last resettlement site for victims under the jurisdiction of the garrison, An Yi, who was hungry, told Sun Xiaowang what to do. In the evening, everyone gathered at Lao Shoudao's house and held a meeting.
After leaving the resettlement site for the victims, An Yi ordered Lin Yaodong to drive to the Dunhe Western Restaurant by Chengbi Lake and take advantage of lunch time to meet the leader of the Belarusian expatriates, Ogiello Viogim, who was already the senior intelligence chief of the Anjia Army. Ski. Alexandro's cousin Vadja, ask this Belarusian leader who has sent thousands of talents of all kinds to An Yi, what else does he want?
The car stopped beside the door of the ornately decorated Don River Restaurant. The young and handsome lobby manager Somlov had just arrived in Nanchang from Harbin and did not immediately recognize An Yi among the three. The vehicle from the Jiangnan Group headquarters politely greeted them, entered the gate, and led An Yi and the others to the seats at the end of the second floor. They politely introduced in fluent Northeastern dialect that there were many guests in the restaurant today, but this seat was Mr. Zhou Chongan’s favorite. If we like it, we always stay. It is nestled among the lively green plants and is self-contained. You don’t have to worry about being disturbed by other guests. It is very quiet. You can also enjoy the rippling lake view and bustling street scene outside the window.
An Yi said thank you, and sat down face to face with Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong, admiring the long-lost scenery of Chengbi Lake together. He was very sad that he was about to give up this emerging city where more than 100,000 Anjiajun brothers had worked hard.
While sighing, a beautiful Belarusian waitress walked over quickly accompanied by a tall and graceful blond girl. An Yi looked up and saw that it was Vadya's daughter Katerina and the familiar waitress Sydney. He quickly stood up. , greeting with a smile.
An Yi hugged the surprised Katerina and Xue Li one by one. Shen Fengdao just nodded slightly and sat down.
Katerina, who was only nineteen years old, talked to An Yi for a while, then turned to Lin Yaodong, hugged him tightly with excitement, and pressed her pink face against his brightly smiling face:
"Dear Lin, I am about to go to Xufu to find you, do you know? My father also opened a Don River restaurant with the same style on the picturesque Huayuan Street in Xufu. Currently, the best Russian chefs in China are concentrated there. I've been there for such a long time, are you here to visit?"
Lin Yaodong glanced at An Yi and Shen Fengdao, who were smiling ambiguously. He awkwardly held Katerina's waist, pulled away some distance, and then stared at the big blue eyes of the girl in front of him:
"I've been there. On the opening day, I sent a pair of flower baskets on behalf of the commander. It's a very beautiful and luxurious place, with an area three times the size of this place. I heard that your father also bought the two townhouses and apartments across the street. , maybe you will move to Xu Mansion soon... By the way, where is your father? Why haven't you seen anyone else? "
Katerina replied lovingly: "I called him right away and asked him to come back from Nanchang. When the general arrives, how can he not meet my father in person? Haha! Lin, wait for me... So, can you sit at the small table diagonally across from me? I'm going to call you your favorite sardines, then take a good look at you, talk to you for a while, and talk about our present and future."
Looking at the girl's eyes full of expectation, Lin Yaodong hesitated a little, then nodded in agreement: "Uh... okay." Watching the cheerful Katerina leave, Lin Yaodong turned to An Yi and Shen Feng, who were looking at him with a smile, and said, Kaishou shrugged, smiled, then sat down at the small table diagonally opposite, picked up the English newspaper on the side, and read it like a dog.
An Yi saw it interestingly and couldn't help but shake his head, and whispered to Xueli beside him: "Xueli, go and tell Somlov later, we don't need special care here, and we don't want anyone to disturb us. Of course, you are welcome to come over, sit down and talk, you are a very kind and beautiful girl, no one can refuse your gentleness."
"Thank you for your compliment, general. Xueli will definitely work harder and not let you down... I'm going to tell Somlov right now." Xueli, who is also tall and beautiful with a pair of perfect long legs, smiled brightly and walked away. .
Shen Fengdao watched Xue Li leave, put down the water glass, leaned forward, and asked mysteriously: "When did Xiaojiu become so intimate with Wajia's daughter?"
An Yi didn't expect that Shen Fengdao would have such a gossipy side, and couldn't help being happy: "If you ask me, who should I ask?"
"The stupid Xiao Jiu kept silent and managed to catch Katerina, the flower of Belarus. It is estimated that the grandson will have a Belarusian wife in the future, and the offspring he will produce will definitely be the same."
Shen Fengdao shook his head, turned to the window, and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chengbi Lake. An Yi also calmed down and looked at the lake surface ruffled by the autumn wind. The two of them talked in a low voice while watching.
After a while, Katerina personally brought an aperitif and exquisite snacks to An Yi and Shen Fengdao. She blushed and said sorry, then sat down opposite Lin Yaodong and whispered.
An Yi and Shen Fengdao both pricked up their ears. After listening to the two of them confiding their feelings after saying goodbye, Katerina gently pulled Lin Yaodong's tie and said it didn't match his suit. When they were free, they would go to Old Nanchang with Lin Yaodong. He went shopping in the shopping street and chose the most beautiful Italian tie for him. Lin Yaodong said no need, but his face was filled with happiness. An Yi really wanted to go over and pat him on the head.
Xue Li led the two male waiters to bring the dinner and carefully placed it. As soon as he sat down and wanted to chat with An Yi and Shen Fengdao, he suddenly heard the sound of the stairs. He stretched his head and took a look. A waiter had just brought a man in a dress. The stalwart officer in major's uniform led him up to the second floor. He quickly apologized to the two of them, got up and went to the table adjacent to An Yi's seat. He cleared away the flowers and newspapers on the table, politely asked the officer to take a seat, and said with Speaking fluent Mandarin, he asked the gentleman what he wanted to order. The officer replied in a low voice that he had two friends waiting for him.
An Yi felt that the voice was a bit familiar. He looked through the glass partition behind the green leaves and saw that it seemed to be Tang Mingzong, a senior in the third phase of Huangpu. He thought for a while and didn't bother to say hello, so as not to spend another round of pleasantries when they met, which would make both of them tired.
An Yi put down his wine glass, picked up the snow-white napkin and spread it on his lap. He raised his head and glanced out the window unconsciously. He saw two figures on the street below who seemed to be very conspicuous. He didn't care at the moment. When he picked up the knife and fork, he seemed to be ready to start. Thinking of something, I looked out the window again at the familiar figure waiting for the car to come over on the wide sidewalk by the lake. I was stunned for a while, then quietly approached Shen Feng who was starting to cut the steak and said:
"Old Shen, you have good eyesight. Please help me look at the two people walking across the street. They are both wearing top hats and windbreakers. Pay attention to the shorter one on the left."
Shen Fengdao watched for a while and was very surprised when he turned to An Yi: "Chen Geng! He is here like this... It seems that he also came to the Don River Restaurant for dinner. I was very impressed when we met him in Shanghai that year. Although he wears a wide-brimmed hat and a suit coat, his figure and gait cannot be changed... Didn't the principal just let him go in May? How dare he show up in Old Nanchang with such arrogance?"
An Yi shook his head: "I don't know what the situation is, but this guy is famous for his courage... Weird! Didn't Yang Fuzhang, the senior liaison officer of the CCP who was just secretly escorted here by the Party Investigation Bureau the day before yesterday, say that Chen Geng Has he been under scrutiny by the Central Party Committee of the Communist Party of China since he was released? He was also said to have been temporarily transferred to the Pengyang Military School of the Red Army as acting principal under the protection of Director Zhou, and was not allowed to lead troops in the war. Now he is completely Tian, together with Senior Brother Zuo Quan who was also marginalized, were sighing in that shabby military academy in Jiubao Village, Ruijin. How could he suddenly appear here now? Could it be that the review is over and he is fine? "
Shen Fengdao thought for a while and guessed in a low voice: "Could it be related to Yang Fuzhang's arrest? Don't forget that Chen Geng is a general of the CCP's Special Branch and is responsible for these things."
"Yes...it must be! Let's keep quiet for now and let me think about how to meet him."
An Yi suddenly became interested. Thinking of the unforgettable days he spent living with his senior brothers at Whampoa Military Academy, he felt extremely nostalgic.
Shen Fengdao saw what An Yi meant: "Actually, it's not difficult. I can just go and call him later."
An Yi nodded, feeling that this method was the most direct and best. No matter how unwilling Chen Geng was, he would not dare to yell or run away in this place. Let alone whether he could slip away from Shen Fengdao's nose, even if he could run out desperately He can't run far. Now is an extraordinary period. The streets are full of old Nanchang military police patrolling. More than one-third of the leaders of these military police at all levels are from the Anjia Army. Shen Fengdao only needs to shout Chen Geng. Can't leave.
Chen Geng and his assistant swaggered into the Western restaurant, glanced around the almost full hall on the first floor, and asked Somlov kindly:
"An officer named Tang has arrived. He is our friend."
"Oh, I understand. Mr. Tang has already given instructions. Please come with me and stay in the private seats on the second floor." Somlov led Chen Geng to the second floor.
Arriving on the second floor, Chen Geng immediately saw Tang Mingzong standing by the window on the inside. He raised his hand to indicate to himself. He quickly glanced at the tables of foreigners and wealthy businessmen around him, smiled slightly, and thanked Somlov. He led his deputy and strode towards Tang Mingzong. When he passed by Lin Yaodong and Katerina who were sitting at a table against the wall, he took a careful look and found that these two people were chatting with each other without any distractions. He relaxed and walked to Tang Mingzong who was standing up: "Haha! Are you okay, brother Ziyi?"
"Fortunately, I didn't expect Brother Zhang to come here despite his busy schedule. Please take a seat. You're welcome. I'm the host today, so you're welcome to this brother. Take a seat... Miss, please serve the dishes I ordered. Two servings, and two glasses of brandy." Tang Mingzong kindly ordered for Chen Geng and the others.
Chen Geng sat down with a smile on his face: "I'm so hungry these days! I haven't eaten Western food for a long time. It is said that this Don River restaurant is opened by Belarus. I wonder if the taste is authentic?"
"Brother Zhang, please rest assured. This is the most famous Western restaurant in Nanchang, with authentic St. Petersburg flavor. Local dignitaries and our military lieutenant generals all like to come here, especially big bosses like Brother Zhang who have been to Russia and are well-informed. You have to try it, haha!" Tang Mingzong replied very affectionately. Although his voice was not loud, An Yi and Shen Fengdao in the private seats could hear it clearly.
Ten minutes later, Tang Mingzong's table was filled with Western food and drinks. The three of them were not polite and began to eat. An Yi and Shen Fengdao, who were separated by lush bonsai and a person-high glass wall, had already eaten, wiped their mouths, and gathered together. Let's discuss together in a low voice.
An Yi took out his notebook from his pocket, unscrewed the pen, wrote a line, carefully tore it off, handed it to Shen Feng and said: "Don't worry about him escaping. If he really escapes, let him go. It will cause a big mess." It’s not good.”
"clear!"
Shen Fengdao took the note and looked at it. He couldn't help grinning. He folded it and stood up slowly. He left his seat and came directly to Chen Geng.
